The two lingered in the comfortable hammock for a while longer before getting up.
After getting up and quickly washing up, I went to check the hunting traps!
Even when he was still far from the hunting trap, Chen Fan could already hear the cries of his prey.
The call was very sharp, more like the call of some kind of bird.
"We've caught our prey!"
"Let's go check it out right away..."
Upon hearing the sharp and urgent cry, Chen Fan knew that the trap must have caught its prey.
Prey only makes such rapid calls when it is threatened or injured.
Moreover, judging from the sharp cry, it shouldn't be a goat; it's more likely a fawn.
Because that's how sika deer calves call.
"Huh?! You heard the sound?"
Liu Feifei looked at Chen Fan with some surprise and asked.
Because she didn't hear any noise.
The only sound was the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
"Yes, we can hear the prey's cry." Chen Fan nodded, and the two of them immediately quickened their pace.
In no time at all, they arrived at the location of the first trap.
The trap has been triggered, and a small animal is hanging upside down on it, struggling desperately and screaming.
But the rope was too thick, and no matter how much she struggled, it was all in vain.
"Chen Fan, look! It looks like a sika deer fawn!"
"Wow, that's great! It looks delicious."
Upon seeing the small prey hanging on the rope, Liu Feifei was instantly overwhelmed with excitement, and tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face.
Even though this prey was a cub, it was still incredibly delicious.
Moreover, the meat of cubs is generally more tender and delicious.
"Hmm...it certainly looks that way! Let's go take a look."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
They soon reached the trap, and the sika deer struggled even more fiercely upon seeing the two two-legged creatures.
The sharp cries became even more urgent, as if it had already foreseen its own end!
"These little cubs are so cute!"
Looking at the struggling sika deer calf, Liu Feifei couldn't help but praise it.
Whether it's the leopard cub from before or the sika deer cub from now, they are all indeed very beautiful.
If it weren't for the need for food, it would be a great pet.
"Yes! It is indeed very pretty."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
"So what do we do now? Should we just get rid of it?" Liu Feifei continued to ask.
She knew that Chen Fan was a very decisive person.
Therefore, in Chen Fan's eyes, whether it is a young sika deer or an adult sika deer, they are just fragrant, white protein.
"No need to rush, this little thing is quite pretty."
"Besides, we're not that short of food right now, so let's keep it as a food reserve!"
"If we can't find food one day, we don't need to worry too much."
Chen Fan shook his head; he currently had no intention of killing the sika deer directly.
Because they still have plenty of food, killing this sika deer would result in too much meat, which would definitely spoil if left for too long.
So if you keep it, then you don't need to worry about this problem at all.
When the food is gone and there is no other prey available, it can be killed.
And if you let it rest for a few more days, it will definitely have more meat...
In fact, there are significant differences between the sika deer cub and the two leopard cubs.
The reason he didn't plan to adopt the two leopard cubs before was because leopards are carnivores and have a big appetite.
As body size increases, appetite also becomes increasingly astonishing.
If he were to keep it for a month or two, Chen Fan might not be able to afford it!
But sika deer calves are different; they are herbivores.
As long as you tie it up in a place with dense vegetation, you don't have to worry about it starving to death...
"Okay, that's what I was thinking too!"
"It's so cute and so small, it would be too much of a waste to eat it now."
"At least we can wait until it grows a bit bigger before eating it."
Liu Feifei also strongly agreed with Chen Fan's words.
Moreover, having a pet is also a great idea.
Sometimes life as a couple can be quite boring and lonely, and having a pet can greatly alleviate that boredom.
"Okay! Wait for me a moment, I'll go and talk to it."
Chen Fan smiled and then walked up to the deer.
He wanted to test whether his friendly aura would work on the deer.
When I tried using it on dung beetles before, it seemed to have absolutely no effect.
A deer is such a large animal, it should have some use, otherwise the rewards from the system would be too meager!
"Um... then you go ahead."
Liu Feifei nodded somewhat helplessly.
She knew that Chen Fan was very capable, especially in terms of wilderness survival knowledge and practical skills, which far surpassed those of his peers.
However, communicating with animals is beyond the scope of scientific understanding; it is something that is simply impossible to do.
Even if Chen Fan is very powerful, it's impossible for him to communicate with animals.
At this moment, Chen Fan had already arrived in front of the deer and taken it off the trap.
Fearing it might accidentally run away, I tied a rope around its neck.
Then, speaking earnestly to the little deer, he said, "Little one, don't be so nervous. We don't plan to eat you yet!"
"From now on, you will be our pet. We will treat you well as long as there is plenty of food."
After saying that, she gently patted the little deer's head.
At that very moment, something miraculous happened.
The fawn, which had been struggling desperately just moments before, gradually quieted down, raised its head, and stared at Chen Fan with its round eyes.
It seemed that it did not sense any danger from the unfamiliar creature in front of it.
And there's a natural sense of approachability about it, I don't know why!
However, when Liu Feifei and the viewers in the live stream saw this moment, everyone immediately became agitated.
"Holy crap!! What kind of incredible feat is this? Can Chen Fan really communicate with animals?"
"That little deer actually calmed down..." Liu Feifei exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape.
In her understanding, this was something that simply could not happen.
How can humans communicate with animals?
But after Chen Fan said those words, Xiao Lu did indeed quiet down.
Is Chen Fan truly gifted with exceptional talent, capable of communicating seamlessly with animals?
Then she suddenly remembered that morning.
It seemed like Chen Fan was chatting with dung beetles early in the morning.
However, the dung beetle didn't seem to give Chen Fan any face!
The viewers in the live stream were also in an uproar.
"No way! Can Chen Fan really have in-depth, barrier-free communication with animals?"
“In-depth exchange? Actually, I can do that too. I’ve had in-depth exchanges with Ye Kun before.”
"That's impossible, everyone, don't be fooled! That little deer was just tired from struggling!"
"Yes, yes, that must be it. I would never believe that humans can communicate with animals without barriers."
