Chapter 156 - The Leopard and Wolf Battle Again (1) (1/2)
“Why do you wish to keep a male bird? It’s not like it can lay eggs,” Parker asked strangely. Male birds were much fiercer than female birds. Seeing that Parker wasn’t looking at it, the male bird stuck out its neck to peck him.
Parker sent the male bird flying with a kick.
Bai Qingqing said, “Keep it for mating. One is enough.”
Parker made a “tsk tsk” sound, staring at the male bird enviously. “What a lucky fellow.”
Us beastmen have difficulty even finding one female, yet this male bird is free to choose its mate. It will definitely become a public enemy.
Actually, sometimes beastmen would envy ordinary animals, for their gender ratio was more balanced, so they didn’t face a problem in the continuation of their species. As for the strongest beastmen, they struggled with even the most basic issue—the continuation of their species. There were too few females, and what’s more, their probability of conception was low. For a female that went into heat fifty times, if out of those fifty times she managed to conceive ten times, that was considered a high rate of success already.
Parker transformed back into a beast to capture the birds. Without other beastmen hindering him, he managed to capture alive twenty over short-winged birds very quickly, which he also bound using vines. Also, he found over one hundred bird’s eggs.
“Sha sha sha—”
It started drizzling in the forest, and the rain beating upon the tree leaves conjured a piece of elegant background music.
Bai Qingqing, who hadn’t had enough fun, looked around and said, “Let’s find somewhere to seek shelter from the rain.”
Cortis sheltered her head with his hand and flicked out his tongue. “Ssss… the rain will get heavy very quickly. Let’s go back.”
Parker nodded in agreement. He put on his skirt and carried the full bamboo basket on his shoulders, saying, “Cortis, you bring Qingqing back first. Leave the stuff to me.”
Bai Qingqing pouted and said helplessly, “Alright, since you two have decided to go back, I’ll listen to you guys.”
