Chapter 1394 Reunited Again (1/2)
Li Du said, ”Ah Ow, come back, where are you going?”
Ah Ow ran into the forest and wriggled her nose. She did not care about anything else, only running forward.
Brother Wolf said, ”Could it be that she found something?”
”Let's follow behind,” Li Du frowned. Ah Ow was one of the more obedient animals amongst them. That could be related to the fact that she was female.
However, Li Du had called for her twice and Ah Ow still continued to run deeper into the forest. This suggested that it was not a simple matter of her discovering something. She must have found something very important.
Ah Ow ran speedily and it was tough for Li Du and the rest to keep up behind her. After more than ten minutes, Ah Ow stopped and started to pull at something at a weedy area.
Li Du walked over for a look and saw that there was a cigarette on the ground.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Brother Wolf squatted down and inspected the cigarette. He said, ”It has been here for no longer than half a day!”
”Who could have thrown it? Ah Ow came here for the cigarette?” Lu Guan was confused. ”Does she want to have a smoke?”
Li Du glared at him. ”Nobody but you could have said something so stupid.”
Ah Ow sniffed the cigarette and kept running.
Brother Wolf said softly, ”Everyone, be careful. Walk slowly this time around, don't make too much commotion. I'm not sure what Ah Ow found. Let's go over for a look as quietly as we can.”
Ah Ow continued to climb up the hill. It was a tough affair, not for the faint of heart. Even though Li Du and the rest were physically fit, they would still need a rest after this climb.
Ah Ow was not tired and continued to climb upwards.
Seeing that the rest had paused, she started to run again. Li Du did not dare to shout out loud for Ah Ow and hence, could only try to keep up with her.
When Li Du and the rest had caught their breath, Ah Ow ran back. This time, she held something in her mouth. It was a piece of cloth with thorns.
Obviously, Ah Ow must have spotted someone and had been chasing after that man.
Later, Ah Ow continued to lead the way and all of them kept climbing upwards. Without realizing it, they had arrived at the peak of the mountain.
The sky was dark and the weather was gloomy. The forest was foggy and when the breeze blew, the fog flowed like milk, passing through the green forest. At some point, the swirls of thick fog looked like a white dragon.
Ah Ow tore through the bushes, then stopped and looked at a spruce tree in front.
Following what she was looking at, Li Du saw that there was a big bird on the tree.
Brother Wolf glanced over and said, ”Red-tailed hawk, I just saw – no, this is not a real bird!”
The Red-Tailed Hawk, one of the largest species of birds in North America, was seen in most parts of the US and Canada. It was also a symbol in the native culture. Its feathers were often used in various religious rituals.
The hawk stood on the tree, its wings swinging slightly as the wind blew. However, Brother Wolf was right. It was a fake bird, a dummy.
Li Du peered through the binoculars and saw that the eyes of the bird were lifeless. It just perched on the tree, unnaturally still.
Besides, on the left and right to the bird model, the trees were holding up some net. It looked like a fishing net and was made of transparent material. Without the binoculars, Li Du would not have noticed it.
Brother Wolf pointed somewhere else. The binoculars shifted and they saw that there was a golden eagle at one of the trees beside the bird.
Similarly, the golden eagle was also only a model. There was a bird net beside it too.
Some big birds hovered in the sky above their heads, and a golden eagle was staring at the model of its kind on the tree. From time to time, it would swoop up and then down. The model of the golden eagle had attracted its attention.
