After confirming that the Hunting Owl was active in the nearby valley, Chen Wen immediately had an idea.
He planned to see what the Hunting Owl group was up to and also find out where they would camp today.
If they camped nearby, Chen Wen thought he could visit them tonight.
Oh right, he could also call Vikram for this.
This was a ready-made top-notch fighter!
With this in mind, Chen Wen said: "Golden Eagle, follow the Bear, the two of you act together, but don’t get close to the herd."
Hearing this, the Golden Eagle slightly nodded, somewhat understanding.
It couldn’t quite grasp why Chen Wen wouldn’t let the Tibetan Horse Bear meet the other team members.
But Chen Wen didn’t have time to explain too much.
He looked at the Tibetan Horse Bear and said: "Bear, take the Golden Eagle to the vicinity of the foot of the mountain you mentioned, okay?"
The Tibetan Horse Bear nodded: "Sure, I also need to head back there."
Chen Wen nodded, then instructed: "And remember, if you encounter that group you mentioned, don’t get close! Don’t even let them see you, understand?"
The Tibetan Horse Bear was puzzled and was about to ask why when Chen Wen, as if guessing its thoughts, said: "Don’t ask why, later the Golden Eagle will explain to you. You two stay together, and if you have questions, ask the Golden Eagle!"
Hearing this, the Tibetan Horse Bear held back its questions and nodded.
After instructing the two animals,
Chen Wen mounted the Li Ma, gently nudging its head. Li Ma immediately began to move, catching up to the direction of the group.
As Li Ma moved away, Chen Wen’s final words drifted to the animals’ ears: "Remember! Always stay safe!"
...
Chen Wen departed.
The two animals looked somewhat confused at his retreating figure.
But the Golden Eagle quickly understood the situation, urging the Tibetan Horse Bear to head towards the mountain foot it had mentioned.
The Tibetan Horse Bear started running, with the Golden Eagle flying over its head, explaining the situation.
Soon, the Tibetan Horse Bear understood as well.
It couldn’t help but say: "You mean, those two-legged creatures aren’t hunting for food, but just for our skin and teeth, they killed so many animals?"
The Golden Eagle nodded, saying seriously: "They are very dangerous and cruel, so you must remember to stay away from them!"
Hearing this, the Tibetan Horse Bear angrily said: "I understand! But if I get the chance, I will make them pay for it!"
The Golden Eagle nodded solemnly: "They will pay for it! But we can’t do it alone; we need to help Chen Wen, who knows how to deal with them!"
This relatively friendly two-legged creature is named Chen Wen?
The Tibetan Horse Bear matched the solemn tone: "Alright! I will help Chen Wen! We will help Chen Wen together!"
...
Meanwhile, Chen Wen,
quickly reached the vicinity of the herd.
Seeing Chen Wen return, Vikram immediately said: "Chen Wen! I have something to tell you!"
And Chen Wen spoke almost simultaneously: "Vikram! I have a discovery!"
Both paused for a moment after speaking.
Vikram quickly said: "I’ll go first, it’s about the Hunting Owl!"
Hearing this, Chen Wen didn’t continue to interrupt but gestured for Vikram to continue.
Vikram then continued: "I noticed that the Snow Leopard you tamed seemed a bit off; it kept making noises and even tried to alert me with its eyes and paws on the ground. Only then did I realize there was an issue!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Wen looked at the Snow Leopard.
The Snow Leopard roared twice at Chen Wen, who understood its meaning: there was a scent of blood ahead!
Not from the valley’s direction, but directly ahead of their changed route.
The blood scent was not strong, even very faint.
But it was very fresh!
Chen Wen frowned slightly, looking ahead.
If it was a blood scent, this direction seemed to overlap with the foot of the mountain that the Tibetan Horse Bear spoke of!
He nodded, indicating he understood.
Vikram asked: "So what was it you wanted to say..."
"Pretty much the same as your side. I just received some news; three people from the Hunting Owl appeared near the foot of a large mountain ahead," Chen Wen said.
Vikram initially wanted to ask if the source of the news was reliable but considering Chen Wen’s position as a host, he refrained.
"So what do you plan to do now? Go over to check the situation?" Vikram asked.
Chen Wen nodded: "We definitely can’t pretend nothing happened. I feel we both have enough combat strength. If we truly encounter the Hunting Owl people, we have the ability to confront them. But it depends on you; if you think it’s feasible, let’s go check it out."
Hearing this, Vikram had no hesitation: "Sure, let’s take a look. I feel the people there should be core members and might have intelligence on the Hunting Owl Headquarters, which I really need right now."
"However, if they are core members, there might be firearms involved. We should observe first to confirm this aspect before attacking if they don’t have firearms. What do you think?"
Vikram’s words were reasonable, and after some thought, Chen Wen agreed to his proposal.
The two finished their discussion and decisively left the main group with their weapons.
Chen Wen let Vikram go first and then discussed with Xiong Ma about the terms for reverse selection.
Hearing it could gain some abilities from other animals, Xiong Ma was quite excited.
It enthusiastically agreed to the matter.
Having spent so much time together, it felt Chen Wen wouldn’t harm it.
Thus, with Xiong Ma’s cooperation, Chen Wen quickly enabled Xiong Ma to reverse select several terms.
[Giant Strength] was a must, as this term could give Xiong Ma greater power. It also wanted terms that enhanced combat abilities.
However, after choosing this, Chen Wen rejected the idea of Xiong Ma selecting more combat terms and instead had it choose some related to survival and longevity.
Soon, the reverse selection was complete.
Chen Wen asked Xiong Ma to take care of the Snow Leopard family while letting them follow from a distance.
Meanwhile, he and Vikram each rode a horse, heading towards the mountain foot.
...
After about an hour, when both Chen Wen and Vikram’s mounts were somewhat tired,
the keen-eyed Chen Wen saw the Golden Eagle circling.
It had hurried along with the Tibetan Horse Bear and was now near the mountain foot.
In front of Chen Wen was a towering mountain range, so high that he could see the heavy snow belt at the top.
The mountain was not small by any measure!
Chen Wen recalled the map he had seen but couldn’t remember the mountain’s name.
However, this wasn’t important; what mattered was that at the mountain’s foot, Chen Wen saw a familiar off-road vehicle—a modified Hunting Owl off-road car!
