"Hey~ Why are you only getting back now? Wait, what's that smell on you~ It stinks!"
Seeing the large crow, which hadn't been seen for several days, approaching her covered in a foul odor, Yue Jiuli immediately covered her nose and pointed at it with a hint of disgust, saying, "You, you stay away, just stand there and don't move!"
"Oh my gosh~ Jiu Li, it's only been a few days, and you're already so disgusted with me?"
The big crow was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with it and wanted to continue to approach Yue Jiuli, saying, "Am I that smelly? I just dug up a dead cow to bring back for everyone to eat. Let me tell you, this cow is very fresh. It was just buried and I went to dig it up."
Yue Jiuli felt even more disgusted by the crow's words. She pointed at the crow and said sternly, "Stop right there and don't move, or I'll hit you!"
"Uh, okay then,"
Fearing that it would actually get beaten, the big crow finally stood still obediently and said somewhat helplessly, "I said you haven't been back for a few days. How have you been feeling lately?"
"What do you know? Just last night, another big bug came to our bamboo forest. And it can even pass through my barrier and I didn't even notice it."
"What?! It's that powerful?!"
The giant crow was shocked to learn that another giant insect had come last night. It knew that Yue Jiuli was very powerful, but it did not expect that this giant insect was even more powerful, as it could pass through Yue Jiuli's barrier without being detected.
It said somewhat impatiently, "What should we do? It's come twice already. Are we going to lose our bamboo forest?"
"That's not necessarily true. I don't plan to leave tonight. Let's see if it dares to come again."
Yue Jiuli covered her nose and said to the big crow with a hint of reproach, "But you, why do you always go out and fight with people? If you hadn't gone out, you might have gone to tell me last night."
The big crow, feeling a little guilty after being told that by Yue Jiuli, said, "Wah wah~ I, oh dear, it really wasn't good that I didn't come back last night, but I had no choice~ You don't know how annoying those eagles from the Eagle Clan are, and that damned owl! As soon as I went out to find food, they targeted me and tried to sabotage me, so I couldn't help but fight them. I just didn't expect that something bad would happen if I didn't come back for one night."
"Tsk tsk~ Fine, why do you bird people have so much trouble?"
Yue Jiuli knew that the Crow Clan and the Eagle Clan were enemies, so she didn't want to interfere in their affairs. She simply said, "You should try to go out less in the future, lest your clan get into trouble."
"Wow~ Yes, I know that, I'll pay attention to it in the future."
The big crow also felt that fighting all day long was meaningless, and it would be better to let its clan have a peaceful place to live. At present, the bamboo forest was the best place for them, so the big crow decided to try to leave the bamboo forest as little as possible to fight.
Seeing the crows still eating the dead cow, Yue Jiuli asked the large crow, "Where did you get this? How could you even manage to smother such a big cow?"
"Hahaha~ I found this in a village," the crow said happily when it mentioned the water buffalo. "Wah wah~ that buffalo probably died of some disease. I saw them burying it when I passed by, and then I dug it up as soon as they left. You know what, it was quite a struggle to carry it back."
The big crow seemed very pleased with itself for digging up a cow. It cawed, "Caw caw~ This cow is so big, it can definitely feed everyone for several days."
The water buffalo didn't seem to have been dead for long, but it was still an inanimate object, so it still smelled quite strong. Seeing the crows eating with relish, Yue Jiuli could only say, "Alright, such a big buffalo is certainly enough for you to eat for a long time."
The big crow said proudly, "Caw caw~ That's right, so I don't need to go out these few days, and I can stay here with you to guard this bamboo forest."
Hearing what the big crow said, Yue Jiuli teased it, "That's good, but I'm afraid you won't be able to resist running out to fight with people again."
"Wow~ No way, I'm too lazy to go out this time. Fighting every day is exhausting, okay?"
The big crow spoke as if it had made a promise.
