Chapter 1511: Chapter 1511-shock

Richard’s ability was all in his mouth. He was still talking big, but he did not know that the crisis was coming. The owl’s claws were very sharp. If it was caught and taken away, it would be a big deal.
Zhang Zian picked up the walking stick. He had only wanted to scare the owl away, but he had hit the owl by chance. Perhaps it had treated him like a stone and was not prepared for it. Anyway, it fell directly from the air to the ground.
Without waiting for it to turn around and take off again, fina ran over nimbly and pressed its paw on its body.
“Which demon dares to assassinate this great master?” Richard finally reacted. Although it was scared, its mouth was not idle.
Zhang Zian was actually quite lucky to be able to hit it, because owls were not known for their speed when flying, but for their silence. Before their prey could react, they had already quietly approached. If it were not for the few cats that had heard the very slight movement and reacted, he would definitely not have noticed its arrival.
He put on gloves to prevent being scratched by fina, then squatted down and picked it up from under Fina’s paws to observe it carefully. He found that it was an endangered spotted owl.
This kind of owl only lived in the forests on the west coast of North America. It was seriously threatened by human activities, mountain fires, and the invasion of foreign species. Its number was decreasing day by day. The United States even introduced a strict Northwest Forest Act for it, which greatly curbed the logging in Northern California and Oregon.
Just as its name suggested, its white feathers were covered with brown spots, especially around its eyes. The spots formed circles around its eyes, and when it did not move, it looked like an obese quail.
However, it was a little strange. This kind of owl was usually active at night. It was still daytime, and although there was fog, it was still daytime. Why would this owl attack Richard?
“Kaka! You idiot, hold it down for me, I’m going to teach it a lesson as a warning to the others!” Richard called out like a fox exploiting a Tiger’s might.
The spotted owl writhed its body helplessly, and its hook-like beak occasionally let out a gurgling sound.
“It’s injured. ” Zhang Zian checked and found that a piece of feather on the inside of its wing was charred black and had a slightly burnt smell. He could rub it with his fingers and find many small black particles, which were carbonized protein.
“Kaka! It seems that this guy was also struck by lightning, so it came to attack me in a daze. In the end, it was scared to the ground by my domineering aura as the king of all birds …”
Richard chattered on and on, but in order to hide the shock in his heart, he saw that the owl’s claws were as sharp as steel hooks. If he had been successfully ambushed just now, he would probably have to load a file and start over again …
“Nonsense! How did the owl get struck by lightning?” He retorted.
“Why not? For example, if it was sitting on a tree branch pooping, then a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the tree, causing it to lose control of its bladder and bowels, just thinking about it is exciting!”
“Hehe, you’re talking as if you birds have a ‘restriction’ to lose …” He was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with it. “How can the inside of the wings be charred black after being struck by lightning?”
Richard could not answer, but he did not want to admit defeat, so he tried to change the subject.”Then tell me why?” Could it be that it didn’t hold the candle properly when it was playing with the wax drop?”
Zhang Zian said,”I’ll seal your beak with wax one day!”
After chatting for a while, the other elves were also curious about why the owl was injured under its wings, so he speculated,””First of all, it’s not a burn. It was indeed electrocuted. The voltage was high, but not to the extent of lightning. So, I think it wasn’t struck by lightning, but accidentally touched the electric net and got burned by the high voltage.”
“An electric net?” The elf was surprised.
Zhang Zian nodded. He guessed that the owl might have swooped down on its prey while it was hunting in the fog-but the moment it flew over the power grid-the inner side of its wings might have touched the power grid, or it might not have actually touched it. It might have just brushed past it lightly-or even been separated by a short distance, but maybe because the air was too humid-even if it did not directly touch the power grid-there would be electric sparks between its wings and the power grid.
Although the owl was not immediately killed by the electric spark, its flying agility had obviously been affected. Otherwise, it would not have been killed by the stick.
There was no doubt about the importance of wings to birds. With its wings injured, its hunting efficiency was severely reduced. Its brain and nerves might have also been affected, which was why it attacked Richard in the day.
“Why is there an electric net in the forest?” The elves asked in confusion.
“The power grid is the most likely option. Otherwise, I can’t think of anything that can shock it. If it’s an electric wire, it’s usually wrapped in insulating rubber, so it won’t be hurt by the electricity. As for the power grid … Although this is a National Park, there are still a few areas that are private land. The owner has the right to set up power grids on private land, which is different from the situation China ” He explained.
Even in the National Park, the owners of private territories still had a high degree of autonomy and even had the right to cut wood, but there was a size limit. Small trees could be cut at will, but trees over a certain size had to be applied for. Mahogany was absolutely not allowed to be cut, and it was certainly not a problem to build a power grid.
But ordinary people wouldn’t build a power grid in their private territory, as it might hurt their neighbors, children, and pets. Someone must be trying to cover up some secrets.
As for what the secret was … He and the elves all thought of the venison slaughterhouse, or Peter Lee’s Secret base.
In any case, the injured owl was quite unlucky. Since they had encountered it, they had to give it something to eat. They could not leave it alone because there were only about three to four thousand of such owls left in the wild. After all, it was rare to see prey as stupid as Richard.
He didn’t put down his backpack, but took out a bag of dried meat from the bag on famous’s back. After tearing it open, he soaked it in water and tried to feed it.
The spotted owl was probably famished, as it did not hesitate to stretch out its beak to peck at the dried meat, gobbling it down.
He fed it a few more, and it accepted all of them with a smile. Soon, it finished the bag of dried meat.
“Good boy, he can really eat. Is this guy a pig?” “You don’t even have the manners to eat,” Richard said in disdain.
“Be careful, I’m going to let it go.” He said.
“Gah?” Richard was so scared that he quickly flew to old time tea’s side and said,””Grandpa tea, we are good friends, right?”
Old time tea advised,”to save a person to the end is to help a Buddha to the West. Since this owl bumped into us, it must be fate. If we let it go, I’m afraid it won’t be able to hold on. Why don’t we take it with us?”
