Inside the pit was a small wild chicken. Just as Kim Haru had expected, its claws were stuck in the branches at the bottom of the pit. Upon hearing Kim Haru's approach, the chicken was frantically flapping its wings, trying to escape.
Kim Haru immediately grabbed it by the base of its wings and lifted it up.
Only then did he realize that the reason the wild chicken hadn't escaped wasn't just because of the branches at the bottom of the pit. There were also some plant roots wrapped around its legs.
The roots weren't thick—thin and delicate, they had entangled the chicken's legs, and despite its struggles, the chicken hadn't managed to break free. With a casual tug, Kim Haru easily pulled the roots off.
"You poor thing, what bad luck you've had," Kim Haru said, shaking the little wild chicken as he sighed.
