Whether it was the firelight or the aroma of roasting meat that drew them in, there were quite a few guys hiding in the bushes a hundred meters away from them.

Moreover, these creatures varied in size, and even those that were natural enemies were now peacefully hiding together, seemingly waiting for some opportunity.

"Sister, what should we do? There's too much of this."

Tang Nan didn't even bother to eat the meat; her little hands kept rubbing back and forth, as if she wanted to pounce on all the wild animals at any moment.

Tang Yue sat on the ground quietly eating her meat skewers. These guys were all skilled now, so there was no need for her to grab the meat. "Second brother, there's so much, take as much as you want. As long as you can carry it, you can take as much as you want."

Tang Nan chuckled upon hearing this, his big eyes narrowing into slits. That's great! He'd better get started. He'd already eaten a roasted leg of lamb and a quarter of a lamb chop; he wasn't hungry at all now.

"Hehe, little sister, you eat first, and your second brother will get you more if you need more."

The person who had been speaking had already disappeared. Sun Jinan also sensed the commotion around him. He smiled and got up, "Little Yueyue, you eat slowly. I'm going to stretch my arms and legs."

Tang Bei and Chang Yin got up and left without a word. Tang Yue clicked her tongue twice; it seemed these people still had that kind of gene in their blood.

Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that she still had quite a few of the things she caught in the Qinling Mountains last time, even though tigers and leopards had eaten quite a bit, rabbits just couldn't reproduce. Tigers and leopards probably ate rabbits more often to save her food.

In addition, there are rolling mountains in her space, and she has never seen what's in them. She thinks there must be plenty of small animals.

Otherwise, she would have liked to try making it herself. But too much was unnecessary; she was usually too busy to even think about cooking. Besides, back in the South Island, taking out any meat required someone to watch over it—it was too much trouble.

"If we get out," Tang Yue laughed. "With my methods, I can get my hands on any good food without lifting a finger. These prey... well, I'm really not interested."

When they returned, everyone had a smile on their face. Chang Yin symbolically carried two roe deer, while Sun Jinan carried two wild goats. Tang Bei and Tang Nan only had one goat and one roe deer in their hands.

After throwing the prey on the ground, Sun Jinan clicked his tongue and said, "Battalion Commander, how are we going to carry all this back?" Actually, when Sun Jinan asked the question, his eyes were also looking at Tang Yue.

There was nothing she could do; she was now Tang Yue's bodyguard, and even if Tang Yue didn't say anything, he could still guess some things about her.

However, some things are better left unsaid.

Sun Jinan had another thought: the battalion commander and Tang Bei and Tang Nan were both better than him, yet they hadn't hunted many prey. Could it be that they...? But he didn't dwell on it. Some things, you just don't know until you see them.

Tang Yue nodded, "Okay, I'll handle it myself later."

The group nodded. They hadn't brought much with them up the mountain, so leaving now would be easy.

"You guys go first, I'll catch up with you later. I forgot to take something."

None of them asked Tang Yue what she hadn't taken; there was no need. She knew what she was doing.

Tang Yue strolled slowly inside. Although it was the middle of the night, it didn't affect her vision at all. Using her spiritual power to clear a path, Tang Yue walked along the mountain trail, her eyes drawn to the various abundant resources available.

The tall walnut tree was laden with heavy walnuts, their dark green husks gleaming faintly in the moonlight. Tang Yue gently reached out, and the walnuts, as if answering a summons, detached themselves from the branches and flew into her spatial dimension.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Yue casually put two walnut trees into her space. She rarely used this space except for storing things, so she should make good use of the good things.

After rounding a bend, a chestnut grove came into view. Plump chestnut pods hung from the branches, some already split open, revealing the brown chestnuts inside.

Tang Yue smiled and waved her hand. The entire chestnut forest seemed to be enchanted, with chestnuts falling in a flurry and disappearing into her space in the blink of an eye, leaving only empty branches swaying gently in the breeze.

The chestnut trees were not spared either. Continuing on, several wild kiwi trees climbed among the rocks and trees.

On the vine, fuzzy kiwis clustered together densely. A hint of surprise flashed in Tang Yue's eyes. These wild kiwis were pure, natural delicacies. With a thought, she stored the kiwis in clusters into her spatial dimension. The vine swayed gently after losing its fruit, as if bidding them farewell.

Not far along, we came across another grove of wild dogwood. The clusters of bright red dogwood fruits were dazzling in the night, like rubies set among the emerald green branches and leaves.

Tang Yue knew the medicinal value of Cornus officinalis, so she naturally wouldn't let it go. With a wave of her hand, Cornus officinalis fruits fell into the space like raindrops, adding a precious medicinal reserve to the space.

As Tang Yue walked, she came to a stream, where a large patch of spider lilies grew. These spider lilies were in full bloom, their petals long and curled, like fireworks bursting forth.

Although Tang Yue was interested in its ornamental value, she valued its potential medicinal research value even more. As she moved, the Lycoris radiata was also put into her space, quietly waiting for future exploration.

Next, she picked up everything she could find: gastrodia elata, morel mushrooms, ginseng, honey, and schisandra berries. These things grow deep in the Qinling Mountains, a remote and sparsely populated area where no one dares to venture into the mountains to collect them.

No one collected it, and apart from the animals eating some, it all went to waste. Tang Yue collected it without any guilt.
