"Ura la la! Look what we've discovered!"
Lin Yu'an quickly walked over and used the end of a birch spear shaft to brush away the loose snow in that area. As the snow was brushed aside, more "evidence" was revealed.
There were several things scattered on the snow, of varying lengths, black and white like sharp spines.
He carefully picked up the longest one, bringing it close to his eyes for a closer look. It was about ten centimeters long, an extremely hard, hollow keratinized spine.
The base of the spine was milky white, with a jet-black tip. The surface was smooth, but in the sunlight, structures like fishhook barbs could be seen.
"North American Porcupine!" Lin Yu'an finally confirmed the target he was tracking, and a determined smile appeared on his face.
"These are the quills shed while it was moving in the trees or rubbing against bushes. It looks like my luck today is truly good."
