"good."

Kongming smiled slightly and affectionately patted her hair. His Guoguo was kind and had good taste in making friends.

In one hour, nearly two kilometers of broomcorn were picked clean, and the males would even dig up the best ones by the roots and hand them over to Shengxia.

Bear Seven came running over, carrying a huge broom seedling, looking at the orange fruit with deep affection, and said happily.

"Guoguo, look, I found another big one."

Cheng Guo looked up and saw that it was indeed very big, taller than her. She chuckled and took a bite of the jerky, then stuffed a bite into Xiong Qi's mouth, saying indistinctly.

"Hmm, it's really big! Take it to Xiaxia."

With a mouthful of dried meat in his mouth, Xiong Qi, as if injected with chicken blood, handed the broom stalks to Wolf King, who happened to be walking over, and excitedly turned and ran away.

Guoguo praised him! His Guoguo is so sweet!

Wolf King looked at the huge plant that had suddenly appeared in his arms, smiled knowingly, carefully placed it next to Sheng Xia, and spoke gently.

"Is it hot in summer?"

As he spoke, he used his supernatural power to absorb the surrounding heat, cleaned himself, and then leaned down to kiss her lips.

Shengxia reached out and hugged his head, stood on tiptoe to deepen the kiss, then pushed him away and put the broom seedling with roots that Xiong Qi had dug up into her spatial storage.

She turned around and said with a smile, "It's not hot. Are you tired?"

The Wolf King chuckled, "Not tired."

The male in the distance felt a sudden chill, his eyes narrowed, and he instantly straightened up, warily looking around.

Yang Yuan smiled sweetly and said in a childlike voice.

“It was my father, Wolf King, who used his superpower. Everyone, don’t worry. Ah Qing and I are watching. No bad beasts are coming.”

"good."

The group of males breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the three little ones with affection, and then lowered their heads to continue their work.

Aoki's eyes instantly lit up. The little cub was so cute, transforming into human form at such a young age.

And he's so smart, he'll definitely be the strongest warrior in the future!

After gathering all the wild vegetables, the males set up a pot on the spot, keeping only what they would eat that day, and washing, blanching, drying, and storing the rest.

Continue on the journey

Under the blazing sun, dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, making the forest, which had been baked by the sun for most of the day, both dry and hot.

It hadn't rained for a long time, and the woods were completely dry. Normally, this place would be like a steamer, stuffy and hot.

It's hot but not stuffy right now, which is tolerable. I thought to myself, riding on the back of a golden lion in the height of summer.

Suddenly, a faint, putrid smell wafted over, much like the smell when you first enter the miasma forest.

In the sweltering summer heat, he straightened his back, his pupils dilated, and he warily looked around.

A verdant primeval forest, surrounded by giant trees with lush foliage, loses some of its mystery and gains more of its majestic grandeur without the presence of moss.

It looks beautiful, everything is normal.

The stench of decay lingered around her nose, and seeing that the other beasts seemed oblivious, Shengxia's heart skipped a beat.

Why do the other beasts seem to have missed it?

Just as I was about to ask, I heard Ah Qing's childish voice ask, "Daddy Wolf King, is this the same scent we saw last time with Big Flower?"

Sheng Xia looked over in surprise; it turned out they had all smelled it…

Wolf King curled his lips into a kind smile and began the on-site teaching in a gentle tone.

The three little ones listened intently, their heads tilted back, and the teacher's movements were so practiced it seemed like they had done it tens of thousands of times.

"Yes, Ah Qing is really smart. The stench of the beast-eating flower is strong and can travel a long distance to attract insects to eat it."

Relaxing in the sweltering summer, I pricked up my ears to listen curiously, while casually stroking the soft fur beneath my hands.

Aoki felt the touch on his body and became excited.

He turned around and rubbed his huge golden head against Shengxia's hand, laughing heartily as he spoke.

"Xia, do you want to go see the Beast-Eating Flower? I guarantee you've never seen one before, it's as big as a beastman."

It sounds a lot like a modern carnivorous plant. Modern ones don't eat people, but I wonder if they eat orcs here?

"Does such a big flower eat orcs?" Sheng Xia asked curiously.

"They don't eat orcs, they only eat insects and small wild animals that fall in. If an orc accidentally falls in, he can get out quickly."

He'll just get covered in a stench. Don't ask him how he knows; he experienced it firsthand when he was a kid.

A clear, crisp voice came from behind. The giant panda took two steps closer and stood next to Shengxia.

Shengxia turned around in surprise, her face full of amazement. It was indeed amazing, and she wanted to see it.

Her thoughts were written all over her face, and her expression was easy to understand. Hu Xue blinked, and a beautiful smile curved her lips.

"Sister Xiaxia, shall we go take a look?"

"We can go see it!" Sheng Xia's eyes lit up, and she turned to ask Cheng Guo, "Does Guo Guo want to go see it?"

Chengguo stared wide-eyed with curiosity and nodded repeatedly.

"Go! I want to see it!"

After walking to the right for almost ten minutes, Shengxia saw the beast-eating flower.

The stench was overwhelming, and Sheng Xia almost vomited. She covered her mouth, her almond-shaped eyes wide with disbelief. How amazing!

It is about two meters in diameter, has no stem or leaves, and a single flower, making it look like a giant fungus.

The Rafflesia, also known as the man-eating flower or the chewer, grows in tropical rainforests. It has a strong stench and is very large, but it does not eat people; it only eats insects.

"Are you alright?"

The wolf king's gentle voice rang out from the side. As soon as he finished speaking, he lifted her off the lion's back and let her sit in the crook of his arm.

In the height of summer, she nestled in his wolf-like embrace, her cheek pressed against his cool chest, and shook her head with a soft laugh.

"It's okay, it stinks too much. Let's go after we've finished looking at it."

"good."

Shengxia turned to look at Chengguo and found her excitedly looking around in Manghe's arms. When she met Shengxia's eyes, Chengguo called out.

"Xiaxia, let's go, it stinks here!"

Walking down the street, Chengguo sighed.

"I never imagined a flower could grow like this, so big and even has a nest."

Shengxia nodded: "Yes, it's amazing."

She had only seen Rafflesia in geography textbooks, and the shock of seeing it in person was indescribable.

There are countless amazing plants.

Sure enough, in the height of summer, I saw several "toilet bowls" (Nepenthes) that were more than five or six times larger than modern Nepenthes.

A type of pitcher plant

It was about the size of a toilet, but she dared not actually use it as a toilet. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be filled with digestive fluids mixed with the corpses of mosquitoes.

She shook her head and looked away.

"Don't go any further, change direction."

Wolf King's expression remained unchanged. He suddenly stopped and spoke in a gentle tone that left no room for argument.

Shengxia looked ahead curiously and saw many long pitcher plants: "What's going on?"

She looked at it again, and it seemed fine.

"The bat tribe's settlement is ahead. Let's change direction and continue."

Silver Wolf cautiously surveyed his surroundings, then gently answered Sheng Xia's questions.

bat?

In the height of summer, a chill ran down Shengxia's spine. Her hands unconsciously gripped the golden fur tightly, and she abruptly bent down, shrinking her entire body into the fur.

Suddenly a warm current poured down, and Shengxia was stunned. Her long-awaited period had arrived.

Before I could even be surprised, a strange male voice came from the pitcher plant ahead.

"What's that smell? It smells so good... There's a female!"
