Chapter Sixty-One – The White Hedgehog & the Owl



Many animals become active at night, some fierce and some docile.

Among fierce animals, there is a type of raptor that looks cute and innocent on the surface, but is actually terrifyingly fierce.

That is—an owl.

Nighttime is their stage, where they can play, hunt, and move around to their heart's content. Various organs in their bodies have evolved to better adapt to the night.

The outlines of all things became clearer and clearer. They would fly up to the tall pine trees and begin to sing their own battle songs. The sound was low when they were near, but loud and unusual when they were far away.

Their soft feathers have a sound-absorbing effect, allowing owls to fly quickly and quietly, making it difficult even for mice with keen hearing to detect the approaching danger. Coupled with their dull plumage, they are full of advantages.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call them the kings of the night.

At this moment, this king of beasts, when it came out to roam, set off from the steep cliffs, crossed the mountains and fields, flew along the mountain range, entered the forest, and then discovered this timid little hedgehog, whose body was still white.

Her scent was so sweet that I couldn't help but drool.

The small white figure immediately caught his attention.

The night was so quiet that even the slightest sound of wind or grass could alert Xu Qiaoqiao.

"Coo coo".

Several unidentified cries rang out at this moment.

Xu Qiaoqiao was just thinking about how to survive these next few days and how to wait for the female lead to come back and support her, when she heard this scream and was immediately startled.

What is it?

"Coo coo".

The cries continued.

Xu Qiaoqiao was on tenterhooks. She secretly glanced back, but there was nothing there. Could it be that she was just imagining things?

Maybe so, after all, nighttime is just that scary.

Let's find a place to rest first.

Don't overthink it.

"Coo coo".

As soon as Xu Qiaoqiao turned her head, she heard several shouts, and then suddenly met a pair of huge, terrifying yellow eyes.

The yellow iris is as beautiful as the sunset, and looks bright and piercing.

Xu Qiaoqiao: !!!

This is... an owl!

Good heavens!

Before Xu Qiaoqiao could finish her shock, the owl grabbed her and scooped her up with its sharp, hard claws, showing no fear of the thorns on her back.

Vibrating its wings and spreading them out, the owl's wings appeared round and large, and without stirring up a speck of dust, it flapped its wings and flew away.

This process takes no more than three seconds.

There wasn't even time for Xu Qiaoqiao to react.

She was so terrified that her mind went blank; what a bad year!

Owls primarily feed on rodents, but also eat insects, small birds, lizards, fish, and other animals. And here's the important part—they also eat hedgehogs.

Oh, no!

Moreover, even birds of prey like goshawks, sparrowhawks, and peregrine falcons will be eaten by owls if they encounter them!

She realized that today, especially tonight, was truly a very unlucky day for her.

Unexpectedly, the new life is about to end so soon. Having just escaped the harm caused by humans, we are now encountering the dangers of nature so quickly.

A crisis from natural enemies.

After preparing herself mentally, Xu Qiaoqiao began to adapt to her current posture, since she had no other choice. The cold wind swept across her face, and she hadn't felt the sensation of flying in a long time.

I have no idea where this owl is taking me.

Her carefree nature was revealed at this moment; she was already thinking about the next world. However, Xu Qiaoqiao had tried to struggle, but with her feet off the ground, she was truly powerless to do so.

I don't know if this meets the mission criteria. If it doesn't, will I have another chance to live?

If there are any more, she'll make a wish here: if the next time it's still an animal, she hopes it'll be a ferocious beast!

Or you need to be taller, anything but a weakling.

After being abducted by the owl, Xu Qiaoqiao thought about many things, and it could be said that she planned out her way out before she died.

Junjun, I never thought I'd have to leave before I even found you. If we're truly destined to be together, I hope we can meet again in the next life.

Ugh, it still makes me a little sad to think about it.

And then there's Bai Fei, the female lead. Compared to Tian Yao from the previous world, she's practically an angel. She tells me stories, feeds me fruit, and is incredibly kind.

Including her previous life on Earth, he was one of the few good people Xu Qiaoqiao encountered in her entire life.

As Xu Qiaoqiao thought about it, her nose tingled, and tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

No, we can't just let it go like this. She still remembers wanting to go clubbing at Bai Qing's grave!

Xu Qiaoqiao wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and made up her mind that if the owl put her down, she would run away immediately. Regardless of whether she could seriously damage the owl, escaping was the most important thing.

Mr. Owl, who was flying at high speed, was completely unaware of Xu Qiaoqiao's feelings at that moment. Even if he did, so what? Would you care what your food thinks?

Mr. Owl just wanted to go back to his nest and enjoy his prey, and didn't want to be disturbed by anything.

His nest was built on a steep cliff. During this time, Xu Qiaoqiao felt that the owl accelerated. Its wings were like two sharp blades as it swooped down straight up, as if it had cut the wind in two.
