Lin Yu'an and George immediately pointed their binoculars in that direction.
Indeed, more than a kilometer away from them, there was a blurry white object.
It remained motionless, but its shape and size resembled a Dall sheep lying down to rest.
Old George adjusted his binoculars to the highest magnification, observed for a while, and shook his head, "Something's wrong. It's too still, and that posture... a bit stiff. Take another look."
His experience made him skeptical from the start. Dall sheep are very alert animals, and even when resting, they make small unconscious movements to sense their surroundings.
The three of them lay behind the cold rocks, staring intently at that white spot.
Time ticked by, and the "target" remained like a white sculpture.
Stan's excitement had mostly faded, and even Lin Yu'an started to think it might just be a rock.
Then, a dramatic scene unfolded.
A cloud floated in front of the sun, causing the light and shadow on the hillside to shift.
