"Oh." The falcon hunter lowered his head and said dejectedly, but he didn't leave, following him at a distance.

Ye was washing her face by the stream when he saw her looking at the fruit on the tree. He swiftly flew up, picked some, and gave it to Ye. Ye glanced at him but didn't take the fruit. Instead, she climbed the tree herself, picking fruit and storing it in her own space as she went.

The falconer watched from under the tree with its wings spread.

Ye was somewhat helpless. This was a world where humans didn't even have basic fabric, so naturally they had no concept of underwear. After she arrived, she was still wrapped in large leaves, but she had modified them, making them wider, and she was wearing underwear underneath. When he stood under the tree and looked up at her, it was as if he was staring at her underwear.

"Falcon Hunter, why don't you leave?" Ye didn't go down, but sat on a thick tree trunk and asked the eagle below.

"It would be dangerous for me, a female, to be alone in the forest."

"Then can you stay alive? Team up with me." She wasn't being coy; it was all about survival. The beast that had kept her busy that day was a cub. She couldn't guarantee her luck would always be this good. If she encountered an adult beast, even with firearms, she might not be able to escape unscathed.

"You don't mind? I can only transform into human form at night, and no female has ever been willing to form a bond with me."

A contract? Ye hesitated for a moment. Their understanding of living together seemed to be different. She wanted to find a companion, but in this world, it seemed that the most stable relationship was a male-female contract.

"It doesn't matter, it won't interfere with hunting. Besides, I can't have babies anyway, do you mind?"

"No, no, no." The falcon hunter flapped his wings excitedly: "Many female orcs never have cubs in their entire lives, this is nothing."

The more powerful a race is, the more difficult it is to reproduce. Orcs are not as concerned about the fertility of females as human tribes are.

"Alright then, since neither of us minds, let's discuss how to live together."

"How, how should we discuss this?" Eagle Hunter suddenly felt a bit hot.

Just like that, there are females?

"Before I was abandoned by the tribe, the shaman said that he had received a message from the totem spirit that this cold season would be very cruel and that we must migrate to a warmer place," Ye Xian told him what he knew.

"Let's go too," Eagle Hunter decided immediately.

"I don't know where to go." Ye was in a dilemma. She tried to follow the direction the tribe had left in, but there were no fixed paths in the forest, and she couldn't determine the exact route they had taken.

"I know where it's warmer," the falcon said confidently, flapping its wings. Having wandered for so long, it was quite familiar with the terrain.

"Let's go then," Ye said decisively.

"Come on, come on, uh, how do we go? How about I fly with you?" the falcon hunter said hesitantly. He had never flown with a female before and didn't know if he could handle it.

"You're not going to drop me, are you?"

"No, I've never handled a female before, but I shouldn't throw you off."

Ye thought it was unreliable, so she found a branch level with him and sat down, facing him: "Will the place you're taking me to have many resources, uh, I mean, a lot of game, fruit, and edible wild vegetables?"

"The prey is plentiful, and there should be plenty of fruit too. What kinds of wild vegetables are edible? Non-toxic herbs?"

"Yes, it's what human tribes usually eat," Ye explained further. Shouldn't eagles be omnivorous?

"I don't know about that. The eagle-clan beastmen, both male and female, only eat meat, and maybe a little fruit at most."

"You don't even eat grass seeds?"

"I won't eat it."

"Oh, how long will it take to get to where we're going?" Ye began to make a plan in her mind.

"It will take me six days to fly with you." The falcon hunter thought for a moment. If he flew there himself, he could get there in three days, but with a female, it wouldn't be that fast. He also needed to allow time for rest.

According to what she heard from her original tribe, the cold season would arrive in about thirty or forty days. After arriving at her destination, she would need to arrange for warmth at her camp.

"I'll stay in this area for five days, gather some wild vegetables and fruits, and then we'll leave. By the way, is there a cave where we're going? Hopefully, it won't be taken over by someone else."

"No, that place is very high, and there's only one small cave. Human tribes wouldn't choose that place." If it's occupied by a lone wild beast, then he'll just have an extra meal.

"Okay, right, you're an eagle. There's a patch of snake fruit over there. Help me get rid of those poisonous snakes. I want that patch of snake fruit." Ye suddenly remembered that patch of delicious little fruit.

"I'll transform into human form tonight and pick them, so you don't have to work so hard," Eagle Hunter said, taking full responsibility.

"That's too much trouble. Just help me deal with the snake. Oh, can you remove the venom sac from the snake? I want to eat snake meat."

"Yes, you can have some soon, but human females won't like raw snake meat. It's very fishy."

"That's alright, we'll just make a fire and roast it."

The falcon hunter suddenly remembered that the female had said she had fire. Could it be that her fire was in her little cave?

The place where the snake fruit grows is a bit far away, so in order to save time, Ye decided to take the Flying Eagle Express and get used to long-distance flight in advance.

After landing, Ye's legs felt a little weak. It wasn't a problem with the falcon, as it flew very steadily and slowly. Her legs felt weak because she wasn't used to flying at high altitudes without any protection.

"Are you alright?" The falconer cradled her with his wing and asked worriedly. Was his back not broad enough, making the female uncomfortable?

"It's okay, would you mind if I tied two ropes to you?" Ye had already come up with a solution while desperately gripping his feathers in mid-air.

"Sure, but what's the rope?" Eagle Hunter readily agreed.

In Ye's idea, she would tie a cloth bag to the falcon's body, and she could lie or crawl inside the bag, which would be on the falcon's belly, so she wouldn't be helplessly exposed to the wind on its back.

"Great, Ye is so smart."

"I might be different from the females you've met before," Ye said, offering a heads-up.

"I know, Ye is better than them."

In the snake fruit thicket, Eagle Hunter had her stand aside and quickly shooed all the venomous snakes out. He then caught a few snakes that looked delicious, killed them, and piled them up to the side.

Ye began picking snake fruits. The beast-shaped eagle hunter couldn't handle those small fruits, so Ye sent him to the stream to deal with the snakes piled up on one side.

"Can you handle prey in beast form?"

"Yes." The falcon hunter carried the snake to the stream, quickly extracted the venom sac from the snake with its mouth, and then, with the help of its claws, peeled off the snake's skin.

Ye looked at the venom sac he had prepared, and the snake skin was still very intact. He took out two basins and said, "Put the snake skin and the venom sac in the basins respectively."

"Okay." Eagle Hunter glanced at the exquisite stainless steel basin, and agreed without asking a single question.
