Lingfeng and Zhuiyue, these two Radiant Falcons, have completely shed their naivety as fledglings and grown into awe-inspiring and powerful birds of prey.

Their size surpasses that of any known falcon on Earth; with their wings fully extended, their wingspan reaches an astonishing four meters, casting a shadow large enough to cover a small patch of bushes.

Their appearance has undergone a dramatic transformation, perfectly confirming Lin Feng's initial imagination of the name "Radiant Winged Ice Falcon," and even exceeding his expectations in its magnificence.

Their feathers are no longer simply silvery-white, but have a unique, translucent texture, as if sculpted from millennia-old ice in the far north.

Each feather, from root to tip, contains flowing icy liquid, delicate yet resilient.

Miracles happen when the sun shines on them.

Light penetrates their ice-crystal-like wings, refracting into a seven-colored halo that shines like millions of diamond facets simultaneously.

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—each color is pure to the extreme, intertwining and changing, shimmering and dazzling, forming moving neon lights, so magnificent that it is hard to believe that this is life that nature could give birth to.

Especially when they take flight, with each flap of their giant wings woven from ice crystals and light, countless tiny, iridescent ice crystals, like stardust imbued with life, fall from their wingtips.

These ice crystals traced brief but dazzling trails in the air, making a soft "rustling" sound, like the wind blowing ice bells, ethereal and melodious.

Under the sunlight, the ice crystals refracted sparkles, like fairies in a fairyland spreading blessings, a truly breathtaking sight.

Their beaks and claws also became even more terrifying.

Its curved beak, as if meticulously polished from the finest obsidian, gleamed with a chilling, unsettling light at its edges.

Its sharpness is enough to easily pierce through several layers of tough animal hide, and even leave deep marks on hard rocks.

Their claws are also jet black and shiny, each one like a finely forged scimitar, with thick toe bones covered with fine, metallic scales. Once they grab their prey, there is almost no chance of escape.

And their eyes are no longer filled with the innocence and curiosity of their early life.

Now, those are the eyes of a true ruler of the sky, like two exquisite sapphires set in an ice-carved, jade-like head.

When they gaze at you, you can clearly feel the pride, majesty, and an innate disregard for the weak that they embody.

The Radiant Falcon, which can be ridden after reaching adulthood, has not yet fully reached the peak size of its species.

But Lin Feng could already imagine what a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight it would be when they truly matured and soared through the heavens.

They are not only powerful fighting partners, but also a perfect masterpiece of nature's artistry on this strange planet.

Lin Feng's training of them has also entered a new stage.

He was no longer satisfied with letting them hover within his territory, but began to consciously guide them to take longer and more difficult flights.

He would ride the White Moonlight at breakneck speed, with Ling Feng and Zhui Yue following high in the sky.

Their speed is astonishing; with a flap of their wings, they are like two silver lightning bolts, easily overtaking wildebeests running at full speed.

They perform all sorts of incredible maneuvers in the air, sometimes swooping down like arrows, stirring up strong air currents that send sand and gravel flying; other times they gracefully hover, using updrafts to effortlessly climb to higher altitudes, becoming two tiny dots at the edge of the horizon.

Their frost power also grows stronger as they grow.

It is no longer the tender chill that could only freeze into thin ice.

Nowadays, when Zhuiyue gets excited, a high-pitched cry accompanied by the flapping of its wings can spray out a large amount of thick white cold air from under its wings, instantly covering the grass and trees within a radius of several meters with a thick layer of frost, and the temperature of the air will drop sharply.

Lingfeng, on the other hand, is more focused on precise control. It can condense cold air into the shape of ice cones. Although the range is not far, the power is concentrated enough to pierce through tough leather.

Lin Feng often quietly admires their majestic figures in the sky during his spare time from training.

Every time he saw their icy, feathery figures, he could feel the aura emanating from them, a fusion of ultimate beauty and ultimate danger.

Wangcai had long been accustomed to these two "brothers and sisters" in the sky, and under Lin Feng's guidance, they had even formed a preliminary synergy.

Wangcai keeps watch on the ground, and if it detects anything unusual, it will let out a specific low growl.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng and Zhui Yue would immediately ascend to conduct reconnaissance and deterrence from the air.

Lin Feng knew that they were rapidly growing into his most reliable allies. And this strength would play a decisive role in unpredictable crises to come.

Night fell upon the shelter.

Unlike the usual silence and lurking danger, the courtyard of Lin Feng's shelter was filled with a long-lost warmth and... fragrance that almost brought tears to one's eyes.

Ling Feng and Zhui Yue slept peacefully in the wooden house.

Their breathing is even and powerful, foreshadowing their vigorous vitality.

After confirming that the two little ones were in stable condition, Lin Feng's nerves, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed.

A tremendous sense of joy and accomplishment filled his heart, prompting him to have the unprecedented idea of ​​indulging in a "luxury".

"Tonight, let's have hot pot!"

When Lin Feng announced the decision with a relaxed smile, the eyes of the six women lit up almost simultaneously.

In this arduous and extraordinary struggle for survival on an alien planet, any enjoyment that belongs to the "civilized world" is enough to exhilarate one.

In the center of the courtyard, a specially selected section of sun-shaped wood, about half a meter in diameter, was placed properly.

Its massive canopy had long been pruned, and now, the soft orange-yellow glow emanating from its leaves was like a giant natural lantern, illuminating the entire courtyard as bright as day and dispelling the chill of the highland night.

Even more remarkably, it also steadily emits a pleasant heat, making those sitting around it feel warm.

A large iron pot, skillfully modified by Lin Feng, is now steadily placed on a simple stone stove, with ironwood burning inside.

Inside the pot, the milky white broth was bubbling and churning, emitting a rich and mouthwatering aroma.

This soup base is Lin Feng's masterpiece.

The main ingredient, of course, is the leg bones of those robust black giant sheep in the sheepfold.

This alien sheep has extremely delicious and tender meat with no gamey smell, and its bone marrow is also very rich.

Lin Feng selected the freshest leg bone, washed it repeatedly with spring water, and then added "wild spices" and a few pieces of bark peeled from "cinnamon clove wood".

After the bark is dried, it emits a rich fragrance that is very similar to a mixture of cinnamon and cloves, making it an excellent seasoning for removing fishy smells and enhancing flavor.

As the temperature rises, the essence of the bone marrow gradually infuses into the soup, and the spiciness of the wild spices and the unique aroma of cinnamon and cloves interact and sublimate to form an indescribable complex fragrance.

The aroma overpowered the entire courtyard, and even Wangcai, who was sleeping, couldn't help but sniff and make a satisfied gurgling sound in his throat.

The main ingredient, of course, is the thinly sliced ​​black giant lamb.

Lin Feng's knife skills had become incredibly refined through countless attempts to dismantle alien beasts.

With a flick of his wrist, the sword seemed to come alive in his hand, and slices of mutton, each one evenly thick and with a clear texture, fell like red snowflakes, neatly arranged on a "plate" made of huge leaves.

The mutton is bright red in color, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat, resembling the finest marble patterns, making it incredibly tempting to look at.
