"Abu, one alive, one dead."
"Round Head, seven alive."
"Fist, two alive."
"Otter Kai, one alive."
By the riverside.
Liang Qu flipped open a small booklet and recorded with a charcoal pencil.
Fat Catfish, twenty-one alive.
Unable to Move, seven alive, four dead.
Round Head, forty-three alive.
Fist, twenty alive, two dead.
Otter Kai, two alive.
Overnight, the rankings of the creatures had changed significantly. Calculating by the score of alive and dead, with Round Head counting as half, it still surpassed Fist, jumping to first place, with Fat Catfish in second, no longer tied with the other creatures.
Fist fell to third place, Unable to Move fourth, and Otter Kai fifth.
"It's come full circle."
Liang Qu tapped the booklet's cover.
Fat Catfish had a talent for catching fish, which was evident a few years ago.
