Calling Through the Window
The giant wolf was a highly skilled hunter, killing several large fish in just a few bites.
The big fish floated belly up to the surface and was pushed towards the shore by the chirping of the Jiujiu.
Jian Mo quickly transformed her hands into cat claws, using their sharp claws to hook onto the skin of the large fish and drag it ashore.
Using the buoyancy of the water, Jian Mo successfully dragged all the big fish ashore.
Each of these fish weighed at least 60 or 70 pounds, and they were so slippery that if it weren't for the fact that they could use their claws, Jian Mo might not have been able to drag them ashore.
After all the fish were pulled aboard, Jian Mo's two animal ears bounced, and a proud expression appeared on his face.
He's really put in the workout now.
Jiujiu was overjoyed with its bountiful catch and ran to the other side to start attracting more fish.
It quickly got into a fight with another group of fish, howling and fleeing towards Wu Jiong as it fought.
Seeing this, Ying'ao had struggled for a long time to catch a fish, swam over to the giant wolf and helped Jiujiu catch fish instead of fighting alone.
Jian Mo was once again impressed. Ying'ao had such a good grasp of the rhythm of the hunt, and he was also very decisive in giving up. He truly lived up to his reputation as Ying'ao.
Everyone worked together to catch fish, and after two rounds, they caught a total of seven.
Jian Mo felt a bit cold and called out, "That's enough, stop grabbing! Let's hurry back, or we won't be able to fly to the Tianning Tribe before dark."
Giant Wolf: "Okay. Jiujiu, Ying'ao, let's go ashore."
Ying'ao quickly swam to the shore, but Jiujiu, unwilling to give up, dived to the bottom of the lake, trying to catch more fish.
Unfortunately, the big fish had been caught by them once and had now learned its lesson, completely ignoring Jiujiu.
Jian Mo looked at the large fish that had been pulled up and said, "Shall we process it before we leave?"
They now remove the fish's internal organs, marinate it, and then fly to the Tianning Tribe. This reduces the weight and, secondly, preserves the fish through marinating, ensuring optimal flavor.
Wu Jiong: "I'll kill the fish, you mix the seasoning."
Jian Mo: "Would you like to put some Throat Eyeball in later?"
Jiujiu likes the taste of Throat Eyeball; she'd probably like it if you added a little when marinating fish.
Wu Jiong: "Okay."
Jian Mo took out Throat Eyeball from her basket and said with some regret, "I forgot to ask the Rain Rising Tribe to help me plant some Throat Eyeball."
While processing the fish, Wu Jiong said, "We can keep the seeds and have Wan Zheng and the Wan Zheng take them to the Rain Rising Tribe. They can help us plant them."
Jian Mo: "Then remind me later, so I don't forget."
While they were pickling the fish, Jiujiu and Ying'ao watched from the side.
Jiujiu is already drooling; her mouth is practically watering.
Jian Mo quickly stuffed some jerky into its mouth. "Try to control yourself."
Jiujiu: "Eek."
Wu Jiong cut two large strips of fish meat, giving one to Jiujiu and one to Ying'ao: "You can try some now, the fish meat is quite clean."
Jian Mo: "Okay, I'll make them some deworming medicine when we get back."
Jiujiu, with a piece of meat in its mouth, stared longingly at Jian Mo, unsure whether it could eat it or not.
Jian Mo was marinating fish and couldn't free her hands, so she bumped her head against its body. "Eat up, just remember to take your medicine when you get back."
Jiujiu then tilted her head back and happily ate the fish, still wanting more, sticking out her pink tongue to lick away the bits of meat and blood from the corners of her mouth.
Wu Jiong glanced at them, then gave them a large piece of food. After they ate it, they wouldn't need to carry it on the way.
Jiujiu was overjoyed, lowered its head and rubbed against Wu Jiong's back. "Jiujiu!"
Fortunately, Wu Jiong was strong and could squat steadily, otherwise he probably would have been pushed to the ground.
After cleaning the fish, they hurried on their way.
They rushed as fast as they could and finally arrived at the Tianning Tribe just as the moon rose.
The fat chicks had arrived long ago and told the people of the Tianning Tribe that they would be coming too.
The people of the Tianning Tribe had dealt with Jian Mo and his group several times and had a good relationship with them, so they prepared a house for them in advance and also provided fodder for Jiujiu and Ying'ao.
Out of gratitude, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong still lit a fire and cooked a large pot of meat for Jiujiu and Ying'ao to share. As for the hay prepared by the Tianning Tribe, they would just serve it as a side dish.
The skinny Flying-Winged Beast Dala, who had come to play with Jiujiu and Ying'ao, looked at the meat that Jian Mo had carefully prepared and peeked out with envy. "Eek."
Ying'ao had absolutely no interest in Dala, and didn't even glance at Dala.
Jiujiu, however, upon hearing Dala's call, hesitated for a moment, then pushed the food bowl closer to Dala: "Chirp?"
Jian Mo looked at Jiujiu, who had already learned to share food, and thought it was adorable. She was about to praise Jiujiu.
Unexpectedly, Dala couldn't resist the temptation. Facing the food bowl, he buried his head in it and took a big bite of meat, slurping it down.
This made Jiujiu so distressed she almost cried. She stopped Jiujiu and immediately grabbed the food bowl with her paws, dragging it backward. "Heh--!"
Its flesh!
Chapter 193 Shouting from the Window
Seeing that Jiujiu was getting impatient and about to fight with Dala, Jian Mo quickly stopped them. "Don't rush, Dala is eating jerky."
Dala stepped back, grabbed the jerky Jian Mo had given him, and looked at Jiujiu: "Heh!"
Jiujiu chirp, baring its teeth. "Hehehe!"
Ying'ao, who was standing nearby, had finished eating the food in his bowl and was slowly grooming his fur. Then, he very restrainedly rubbed against Jian Mo, staring at the jerky in his hand, indicating that he wanted some too.
Jian Mo then sent Ying'ao a piece of dried meat as well. "Eat slowly."
Jiujiu snatched back the food bowl, quickly finished the meat inside, and looked at Jian Mo.
Jian Mo understood immediately and stuffed a piece of jerky into its mouth. "Get along well with your friends, don't fight."
Jiujiu sat on the ground, hugging the jerky and slowly munching on it, without saying a word.
Jian Mo touched Dala and felt that the guy had gotten a little fatter, his flesh was soft and fluffy, but she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.
After settling the Flying-Winged Beast, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong washed up and went back to their room to sleep.
They did a lot of work today, Jian Mo was exhausted. She didn't want to think about anything else; she just wanted to go back to her room and get a good night's sleep.
