Everyone stared in disbelief at the prey still thrashing about on the ground.

And that dead snake that sent chills down your spine.

"Clang."

Su Muyao dropped the bowl in her hand, spilling instant noodle soup all over the floor.

Sun Wuji was the first to react, jumping up excitedly and pointing at the prey on the ground, shouting:

"Holy crap! Sister Ning! My God!! A feast! This really is a feast!!"

"That's really impressive!"

Jiang Yao stared in shock, then revealed an expression of admiration.

Xie Huaiye's tightly pursed lips finally relaxed.

He looked at Yan Ning, a complex light flashing in his deep eyes.

There was surprise, approval, and a hint of inexplicable curiosity.

He didn't say anything, but quickly stepped forward and quietly checked Yan Ning's body for any injuries.

Yan Ning wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the abundant spoils on the ground.

She glanced at the diverse expressions on everyone's faces, finally fixing her gaze on Su Muyao, a faint smile playing on her lips:

"So? Is that enough to shut some people up?"

In the live stream, viewers flooded the chat with comments upon seeing this scene.

[Holy crap! Ning Jie is amazing! She caught a chicken and a rabbit with her bare hands, and even a snake along the way? Her skills are like those of a Valkyrie of the Wild!]

[Hahaha, does Su Muyao's face hurt? Who was just babbling about how Ning Jie wasn't good enough?]

[The one in front, Su Muyao is so stubborn she could crack a walnut! Waiting for Sister Ning to prove her wrong!]

Wait, that snake! It's all brightly colored! Sister Ning, be careful! Is it poisonous?

Exactly! Hunting is exciting, but if not handled properly, accidents can happen!

[Stop arguing, let's see what Sister Ning does first!]

In the video, Su Muyao crossed her arms, slightly raised her chin, and spoke with a deliberate air of indifference:

"Ha, bringing them back is one thing, but do you know how to handle them? Don't end up ruining things and making the camp all bloody."

"This snake looks terrifying, do you dare touch it?"

Yan Ning had just put down her things when she heard this, and she didn't even lift her eyelids.

She deftly pulled a small folding pot from her backpack and went to the stream to fetch water.

As she walked, she replied casually, her voice low but carrying to everyone's ears, including the live stream:

“I grew up in a Taoist temple in the mountains. Chopping wood, carrying water, and processing mountain products are all part of my daily life. What’s a little bit of this?”

The live stream chat was immediately flooded with comments like "666" and "Sister Ning is awesome!"

Su Muyao's face stiffened for a moment, but she said stubbornly, "Is that so? Then I'd like to see how you're going to deal with these things."

What followed was a series of incredibly smooth and skillful maneuvers that left everyone dazzled.

She boiled a pot of water, quickly scalded the pheasants and rabbits, and then took out a small, gleaming hunting knife.

With flashing blades, the movements were precise: plucking hair, gutting, removing internal organs, and cleaning—all done in one smooth motion.

The technique was so clean and efficient that it didn't seem like survival in the wilderness, but rather like working in a Michelin-starred kitchen.

Finally, Yan Ning used a sharpened branch to skewer the two cleaned prey, which were then placed on the campfire.

[My god! That knife skills! Was Sister Ning a culinary goddess before?]

I was stunned. That speed is faster than my mom killing a chicken!

[Where's Su Muyao? Come closer! *Slap slap slap!*]

Su Muyao pursed her lips, her eyes flickering, unable to find fault with her, and could only hum in response.

Finally, it was the snake's turn.

Yan Ning focused intently, first using a branch to precisely press down on the snake's head, and explained:

"This snake isn't poisonous; its markings just look scary. I didn't intend to catch it, but it suddenly darted out and tried to bite me."

[Snake: I should have known better than to bite you! I've run into a living devil!]

[Snake: I didn't even manage to bite you, and you're already trying to kill me!]

Yan Ning skillfully pried open the snake's mouth with a knife, removed the fangs, and then with a swift stroke of the knife, easily peeled off a whole sheet of snake skin along the snake's belly, revealing the pinkish-white snake meat inside.

After cleaning it, she cut the snake's body into several pieces.

[Ugh, it gives me goosebumps just watching, but Sister Ning is so steady!]

Peeling snakeskin with bare hands? I declare Sister Ning my new idol!

[Su Muyao's face turned pale, hahaha, where did her arrogance go?]

Qi Minghao swallowed hard, then quietly nudged Feng Jun, who was smoking next to him:

"Brother Jun, this Yan Ning is a ruthless killer, even more ruthless than a ruthless person! Did we underestimate her before?"

Feng Jun exhaled a smoke ring, squinted at Yan Ning's busy figure, and said:

"Tsk, it's just that mountain girls are a bit bolder. What does it mean to handle some wild animals? Don't panic."

The snake meat was placed in another small pot, along with some wild ginger and a few bay leaves that were picked along the way to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma, and then it was started to stew.

Sun Wuji leaned closer, looking at the snake segments bubbling in the pot, and said cautiously:

"Sister Ning, are we really going to drink this snake soup? Is this stuff... even safe to drink?"

Yan Ning was turning the roasted chicken and rabbit over the campfire; oil dripped down, and the aroma was already spreading.

Upon hearing this, a confident smile appeared on her lips, the firelight reflecting in her bright eyes:

"What are you afraid of? Snake soup is a good thing; it dispels wind and dampness and is very nourishing!"

"In the mountains, this is considered a rare delicacy. You are lucky to be able to eat it."

Poor Sun Wuji, he was terrified, hahaha!

[Sister Ning says it's very nourishing! Trust Sister Ning!]

As time passed, the roasted chicken and rabbit over the campfire turned an enticing golden brown, with crispy skin and tender meat.

The aroma of charred oil, mixed with the scent of unknown spices, filled the entire camp.

On the other side, the snake soup had also turned milky white.

The spiciness of wild ginger and bay leaves masked the fishy smell, leaving only a mellow and delicious flavor.
