"Hmph! This is all because they have an owl strategist behind them! The eagles in that eagle clan are just ordinary eagles. If we fought like that, our crow clan would definitely win. It's just that we didn't expect that the owl in their eagle clan would become so clever and even teach them tactics, which is why we lost!"
Hearing the little crow's indignant and defiant words, Yue Jiuli laughed even harder. She said, "Hahaha~ I'm about to die laughing. Alright, so be it. Anyway, your territory is in the bamboo forest now, and those eagles shouldn't be able to come in. It's safe."
"Sigh~ But we can only stay in the bamboo forest. We don't dare to go out casually. You have no idea how fierce those eagles are. We can only find food in the bamboo forest now, or wait for our king to bring it back."
The little crow started to feel aggrieved again.
However, Yue Jiuli did not sympathize with them. After all, this had nothing to do with her, and she would not get involved in the war between these small animals. Besides, this bamboo forest originally belonged to her, but now it had been given to these crows to live in, so she had already treated them well.
Not long after the little crow and Yue Jiuli finished complaining, the big crow returned, bringing with it an animal carcass.
"My little ones, dinner's ready! Come and eat!"
Crows eat corpses, so when Yue Jiuli saw the large crow returning with 'food', she immediately hid far away.
"Hey? What are you doing here?"
The big crow probably had eaten its fill outside before returning, so it didn't compete with the little crows for food. Seeing Yue Jiuli standing nearby, it flew over and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to come and eat with us?"
"Ugh, no thanks! You guys eat it yourselves, I don't want it!"
Yue Jiuli was already feeling nauseous when she saw a large flock of crows eating the corpse, but when she heard the crows' hospitable words, she felt even more disgusted.
Yue Jiuli felt she couldn't stand watching others eat any longer and was about to leave when she inadvertently saw a yellow feather fly out from the flock of crows as she turned around.
"Yellow feathers? Big crow, where did you find your food?"
The big crow was standing on the ground watching everyone eat when it heard Yue Jiuli's question. It said, "Oh, what a coincidence. I wandered around outside but didn't find much food. But when I came back, I found this dead chicken near the bamboo forest."
Crows have black feathers, so this yellow feather definitely doesn't belong to them. Since it doesn't belong to them, it must belong to the 'food'.
When Yue Jiuli saw the yellow feather, she suddenly remembered the dead chicken she had seen the night before. Now, hearing the big crow say that the dead chicken was found near the bamboo forest, she was certain that this dead chicken was very likely the one she had seen last night.
"Hey, did you guys find anything unusual in or around the bamboo forest last night?"
"Last night? No, we went to bed very early last night, and we usually don't wander around when we're resting, so we didn't notice anything unusual. What's wrong?"
Yue Jiuli felt that the figure she saw last night was suspicious, and fearing that he might appear again tonight, she told the big crow, "I went out and came back last night, and I saw a strange figure. I also saw this dead chicken last night. I think that figure is a bit strange. Anyway, just be careful tonight."
"What kind of figure did you see?" the big crow asked curiously. "Was it a human figure? If it was a human, it's nothing. People used to come around here late at night, especially those who were filming movies."
"It looks like a human figure, but I feel like something's off. Anyway, you guys be careful tonight, and be sure to let me know if you see anything strange."
Yue Jiuli was annoyed by the crow's nonchalant attitude, so she slapped its head hard and said something.
