After Jiang Si brought back the anesthetic rhizomes, she had Bailiman and Aisar crush them. The plan was to filter them into a liquid later, making them easier for the Dai Mao vulture to digest.
Meanwhile, she went to retrieve the fishing net.
As she reached the shore, a mischievous seabird pecked her on the head a couple of times.
Jiang Si ignored them, so they swarmed her, seemingly testing her temper.
If Jiang Si didn't lash out, they would treat her as prey to be hunted.
The instant one of the seabirds flew at her again, Jiang Si shot out a hand. SWISH. She clamped down on its neck, sealing its fate. A second later, she snapped it and tossed the body onto the ground.
The other seabirds, which had been about to close in, instantly realized Jiang Si was not to be trifled with. They wisely beat a hasty retreat, terrified that she would turn the tables and hunt them instead.
