Chapter 699: Chapter 295: Luring the White Fox_2

After greeting, Lin Yang got busy again.

The ice hole had indeed frozen over, but there were quite a few bubbles at the frozen layer’s position—an indication that cold-water fish still need oxygen, and these bubbles were evidence of the fish moving under the ice.

After reopening the ice hole in its original location, he continued to fish with his crude tools.

Luck was on his side, for on his first attempt, he caught a fish.

It was a dogfish over eighty centimeters long.

Compared to salmon, the meat of this light-colored dogfish tasted fishier, and its texture seemed to be slightly inferior.

Lin Yang had caught and eaten this type of fish a few times before, but eventually he stopped eating them. After exerting effort to pull the fish up, he threw it outside the door without any hesitation, where it quickly froze solid.

While fishing and discussing with his viewers what to eat for lunch, suddenly, Little White, who was perched on the eagle stand, turned its head to look outside the snow hut.

A fully domesticated falcon is very quiet when it’s not hunting. The day before, Little White had squatted on a pine eagle stand made by Lin Yang and watched him fish all day. But today, it seemed to sense something, behaving somewhat abnormally.

Lin Yang noticed Little White looking outside and stopped talking, listening intently.

Creak, creak!

Soon, the sound of an unknown creature walking on the snow came from outside.

Startled by the noise, Lin Yang grabbed a wooden stick and extended the drone from inside the snow hut.

The next second, the camera angle switched. Within three meters of the snow hut, a pure white figure appeared to be startled and turned to flee.

The drone gave a close-up shot of the animal, immediately causing an uproar in the live stream’s public channel.

A fox, a pure white one carrying a fish head in its mouth, was running away.

Lin Yang also learned about the situation outside from the camera.

"My gosh, guys, we’re in luck, take a look at what we’ve found—a pure Arctic fox."

He maneuvered the drone to exit the snow hut and then ascend, giving a front close-up of the white fox, which had run several dozen meters away.

The white fox seemed very interested in the fish near the door, standing there reluctantly, appearing to linger and not willing to leave.

It had all white fur, sharp ears, and a delicate snout, along with very beautiful eyes—it was extremely attractive.

"Wow, a white fox! There really are white foxes, so beautiful!"

"So beautiful, it kind of looks like my Samoyed at home, but even more slender."

"Does the streamer have some romantic debts from a past life? There’s a white fox coming to repay you."

"Streamer, be careful, in our area both foxes and goblins are considered supernatural, capable of bewitching people."

"I am a fox that has cultivated for a thousand years..."

"What are you all thinking? Prey that’s delivered itself to our door—let Little White have a go. It doesn’t look much bigger than the Wolf Weasel we saw last time; it should be an easy catch. Wouldn’t a fox fur collar be nice?"

"+1 to the above. I almost forgot about Little White. Can the streamer catch it?"

The war-mongers in the audience were relatively rational at first, but after someone suggested letting Lin Yang deploy the falcon for hunting, they started to clamor in agreement.

Letting Little White hunt a juvenile Wolf Weasel was already beyond his expectations, and that happened by accident after Hai Dongqing chased the swan.

After confirming that the Wolf Weasel posed no threat to Little White, Lin Yang chose to watch and allow the hunt.

However, Wolf Weasels and foxes aren’t the same; although the Arctic fox with its white fur looked beautiful as if about to ascend to immortality, it was much more agile than the Wolf Weasel. If Little White were to attack and err, getting bitten or even killed, his reputation as an Eagle Hunter would be tarnished.

Lin Yang shook his head, "An eagle of Little White’s size can’t hunt an adult Arctic fox, everyone please stop egging me on."

Arctic foxes are extremely clever animals that primarily feed on Snow Rabbits, mice, and the like. Their agility is far superior to that of Wolf Weasels. Despite similar body weight, they pose a much greater threat to falcons."

Another important point is that Arctic foxes are protected animals in the region we’re in; they have a very low population density and are not allowed to be hunted.

Having the rare opportunity to see one up close, I suggest we try to make friends with it instead."

"What? Make friends with a fox? Aside from eagle training, does the streamer also tame animals?"

"Yes, yes, if we can’t hunt it, making friends is fine too. I’m curious, how are you going to do it?"

"The white fox is so cute, it would be great if it could be tamed."

Lin Yang shook his head, "Don’t think too much, everyone. I know a little about training eagles, but taming animals, I do not understand. Don’t set your expectations too high. The fox we’re seeing is likely an adult and very wary of humans. It will be difficult to gain its trust.

However, it seems to be starving, and we have plenty of fish on hand. Maybe we can work something out and build some rapport. These little guys are clever, so there might be a chance for a close encounter."

After Lin Yang finished speaking simply, the chat finally quieted down a bit.

You can’t blame the viewers for having such high expectations, as his previous demonstration of eagle training had surprised everyone, naturally raising their anticipations.

Lin Yang knocked the frozen dogfish off the ice using a wooden stick and brought it back into the snow hut, leaving only the drone to continue scouting at a low altitude of about three meters.

Although he didn’t understand animal taming, he possessed a bit more knowledge of these common-sense things than regular people.
