Chapter 7 Night Owl Snowy Owl

A piece of egg-yellow pudding on a wooden plate with black caramel on top.

Soaked in rum and wild berry jam, it looks beautiful in the light of the campfire.

[Black Pudding Monster Flavor Pudding: One Star. This pudding is made with black pudding monster gel as a coagulant, eggs, and milk. It has a chewy texture and a unique flavor. Your jumping ability is temporarily increased, and you can jump from higher places (small)]

"What a strange additional attribute."

Yeats thought:

"Geralt won't fall to his death easily if he eats it."

In Phantom Wings, there is a first-level wind spell called "Feather Fall", which can provide a buff effect of reducing falling damage to multiple team members at the same time.

According to the game settings, the Snowy Owl can learn this spell, but the prerequisite is that it has to have someone to learn from.

If you rely purely on your own comprehension, it depends on the individual talents of the magical pet.

Yeats turned his head and looked back.

Grey was seen squatting on the ground, watching the snowy owl eating, with a cute expression on her face.

The snowy owl was obviously very hungry. It ate the entire teppanyaki in one breath. Its yellow eyes slowly widened as if it was surprised.

Ye Zhi: “…”

I don’t know about his talent yet, but he is definitely a foodie!

"You two, come and take a look at the new dessert I made." Ye Zhi greeted the two.

Gray and Fokasse came over from both sides and stared at the pudding in his hand with serious looks.

"Which of you wants to try it first?" Ye Zhi looked around.

Gray shook her head frantically.

What a joke.

No matter how good it looks, it is still a pudding made of black slime.

Just thinking about it is scary!
"Master, if you really want to take the risk, let me try the food for you first!" Fokasi showed a determined look.

"N... forget it, I'll do it myself."

Yeats had no choice but to scoop up a spoonful of black pudding and put it into his mouth.

Gray was shocked: "You, you, you really ate the black pudding monster!"

"Master, are you okay? The antidote is here!" Fokasi was also very nervous.

Yeats ignored them and carefully savored the characteristics of this dessert, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that black pudding, weird pudding, would taste like this."

"What flavor?" Gray asked involuntarily.

Yeats slowly smiled with his white teeth and handed a new portion of pudding to Gray.

"Try it yourself and you'll know, right?"

A cold sweat ran down Gray's forehead. She held the plate in her hand and swallowed hard.

Calm down, curiosity kills the cat...

On the other side.

Fokasse trusted Yeats particularly. He took the pudding from Yeats, looked at him with faith, scooped a large piece of black jelly and put it into his mouth.

"Oh?" Fokasi was also stunned, "Why is it this flavor?"

"It should be the flavor given by the black pudding monster." Yeats said, "Some people may find it difficult to accept, but some people will like it very much."

"I think it's very good, a delicious dessert." Fucas said with a smile.

Gray listened attentively, with a strong curiosity on her face.

Looking at Yeats and Fokasse who were having a pleasant conversation, Grey decided to join in the conversation.

She took a deep breath, scooped up a spoonful of pudding, and put it into her mouth with trembling hands.

When it was only one centimeter away from her lips, the scene of the black pudding monster digesting a petrified sheep suddenly flashed through Gray's mind, and her face turned pale.

It's too late.

The hands are faster than the brain, and the flavor of the pudding has already blossomed on the taste buds. The unique slightly salty taste contrasts with the sweetness of milk and eggs.

Gray was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, Gray asked in surprise: "This pudding is actually salty?"

Ye Zhi nodded and said, "This is also the way it is made in Roland's court, so it's called salty pudding."

"How should I put it... It's so strange, but I really want to try it." Gray said vaguely, holding the spoon in her mouth.

"Didn't someone say..." Ye Zhi crossed his arms and said jokingly, "I will never eat food made by Warcraft again?"

"This... this is a dessert, it can't really be considered a dish."

Gray blushed as she scooped another large spoonful of pudding and stuffed it into her mouth in a huff.

Yeats folded his arms and smiled.

The mouth is really hard, harder than the iron plate of a petrified sheep.

Ye Zhi just ignored the snowy owl.

I can clearly feel that there are a pair of eyes silently watching me from behind.

Ye Zhi brought the pudding that was originally reserved for the Snowy Owl to it.

"I know you want to try it too."

Yeats said, "Don't move, I'll let you out."

Of course Snowy Owl didn't understand this.

However, the Snowy Owl is somewhat human-like and just enjoyed a meal of petrified lamb teppanyaki.

Its hostility eased a little, and it made no warning move, just staring silently at Yeats as he placed the pudding in front of it.

Then, Yeats reached out and held the snowy owl's round head to help it untangle the fishing net entangled around its body. The snowy owl struggled at first, but felt that Yeats was helping it, and gradually became docile.

Yeats couldn't help but touch the owl's soft, snow-white feathers.

Hiss...what a great feel!

After regaining its freedom, the snowy owl seemed a little uncomfortable. It shook its neck and feathers, took a few steps on the ground, then stopped and looked at Yeats.

Those yellow eyes were full of sharpness.

Ye Zhi thought for a moment and nodded.

Then the snowy owl spread its wings and flew away.

Seeing his magical pet fly away, Fokasi felt a little disappointed and turned around to comfort it.

"Master, even if a hunter wants to tame a magical pet, it is very difficult. Master, you don't have to be too sad—"

Phokas pounded the tree trunk, looking sad: "Ah, you really don't have to be sad at all!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Who is sad after all?

Say something.

Ye Zhi felt that taming a magical pet also depended on fate and destiny.

As I watched the Snowy Owl fly away, I heard the sound of its flapping wings getting closer in the darkness.

A smile slowly formed at the corner of Ye Zhi's mouth.

Hey, little guy, this is a strategy of playing hard to get!
"Hey, it actually flew back again." Gray said in surprise.

"Oh my holy light, it's true!" Phocas' eyes lit up and he regained his spirit.

The snowy owl flew several circles in the jungle, then turned back and landed on the ground, close to the pudding on the plate.

First, he moved his head from side to side, carefully examining the pudding, then he stretched out his beak and took a tentative bite.

The Snowy Owl's expression was stunned for a moment, then it pecked again, its yellow eyes widening with a look of wisdom.

"It should be saying that this taste is very special." Gray tried to identify the call of the snowy owl.

Ye Zhi was surprised and asked, "You know the spell [Talk with Animals]? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Not a spell."

Gray tapped her temple and said with a smug smile, "I relied on my Dragonborn intuition and translated it by feeling."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Jun's beast language book should be used!
After a hearty meal, the snowy owl simply stayed in the camp and stood on a tree beside the camp, looking alert to the surroundings, like a qualified sentinel.

+1 for team member reservation!

Ye Zhi thought to himself.

He is also an ice wizard, with built-in food refrigeration and preservation capabilities!
"By the way, Ye Zhi, if you can subdue the Snowy Owl, there will be another great benefit!"

Gray said excitedly: "If we can capture this owl, we can have it help keep watch at night!"

Yeats: "But snowy owls are active during the day."

"Ah? Isn't it an owl? How can there be an owl active during the day?" Gray was puzzled.

"The snowy owl is an outlier among owls, the kind that is active during the day and rests at night," said Yeats.

"But look at it, it's so energetic, how can it show any intention of resting?" Gray pointed with her finger.

The snowy owl stood in the night, its eyes as big as bells.

Ye Zhi: “…”

After a long silence, Ye Zhi said in a deep voice: "I know the reason."

"Oh?" Gray pricked up her ears and listened.

"there is only one truth--"

Yeats affirmed: "This snowy owl is a night owl."

"So it feels sleepy during the day and energetic at night!"
