The wind was biting cold, and the dense reed bushes swayed incessantly in the wind, with cries of unknown animals occasionally echoing from within.
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from a clump of reeds by the riverbank. Many grey wild ducks and birds flew out from it in panic, scattering everywhere.
Immediately after, a silver-white snow wolf the size of a husky ran out chasing them. Its two hind legs exerted force, and it leaped towards a grey wild duck, agilely pinning the duck under its body.
"Eric, your hunting skills have improved again." Sam parted the reeds on both sides and walked out smiling. He lifted the grey wild duck that Eric was pinning down with his claws, skillfully clipped its flight feathers on both wings, and then tied it with the rope in his hand.
Looking closely, a large string of ducks was already tied to his rope, making noisy "quack quack" sounds of unwillingness.
