Feng Mu: "Are you trying to kill me with exhaustion? Let's take a break before grilling again."
He kept facing the fire, and the temperature kept rising, making him sweat profusely. But as soon as he finished roasting, he immediately cut off the tenderest part with a knife and handed it to Jiang Cha.
Looking at the chicken's rear end in the bowl, Jiang Cha couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"I don't want this, I want chicken drumsticks and chicken wings!"
"Okay, I'll get it for you."
Feng Mu tossed the chicken's rear end to Cang Yi, who unexpectedly ate it immediately and then looked at them with drooling eyes, holding the bowl.
No, that's not right. It should be looking at the roast chicken that's being roasted over the fire.
None of the others had experience with barbecuing, and their knowledge of ginger tea was also limited, so Feng Mu was the only one who prepared it, which was quite a lot of work for him.
To ensure everyone could have enough to eat, Jiang Cha took out a stone pot and put the pheasant in to stew.
She had Mo Tu bring over all the wild vegetables and fruits and throw them in, and most importantly, her seasonings; when the water boiled, the aroma filled the air.
The lush trees around them concealed the slowly rising smoke.
The air was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees and the fragrance of earth.
The campfire illuminated Feng Mu's face, making it warm and bright.
The aroma of chicken and spices gradually spread, mingling with the surrounding natural scents, drifting through the air and wandering far away.
Lin Manman couldn't help but sniff, "It smells so good! I never knew pheasants could be cooked like this!"
Mo Tu wiped the sweat from her lips and muttered softly, "I was going to say I was full, but this stew smells so good..."
Upon smelling the fragrance, Bai Qi forgot all the pain in his body and couldn't help but stick his butt out and come closer. "What's in there? Why does it smell so good?"
Cang Yi's mouth was practically watering, and his eager gaze shifted from the roast chicken to the stewed chicken in the stone pot.
Although Jiang Cha only has the cooking skills of instant noodles, her spices are so effective that she can achieve such a result simply by adding water and simmering. While stirring with chopsticks, she said, "There are many kinds, but you wouldn't know even if I told you."
Feng Mu was also hungry, so he quietly pulled out a roasted chicken leg and ate it while continuing to roast it. However, his ears twitched involuntarily, as if he had noticed another sound.
The slight crackling sound from the fire is normal.
While the group of people were talking, there were also sounds of them chewing food.
But beyond these chaotic sounds, he seemed to hear the footsteps of wild beasts.
If only one or two animals are walking, they won't make such a loud noise; only when they are in a group will they attract his attention.
He finished the chicken leg in a few bites, then stood up with a serious expression. "Quiet, something's up."
Normally, Bai Qi would have noticed something was wrong long ago, but tonight, the night was too alluring, and he was seriously injured, so his vigilance was too poor, and he actually let a young fox get ahead of him.
He felt a moment of shame.
Everyone fell silent after hearing his voice.
Bai Qi and Cang Yi immediately sensed something was wrong, while Lin Manman and Mo Tu didn't notice anything.
Jiang Cha pressed his hand directly to the ground and soon heard the sound of wild beasts trotting the ground as they approached.
"Walk!"
She quickly reached for the stew pot and stored it in her spatial storage.
Cang Yi also mentioned the remaining pheasants, but Feng Mu shook his head, "Leave them, let's just run."
"OK!"
Cang Yi instantly understood his meaning. Without further ado, he threw it to the ground, transformed into his original form, and lay prostrate on the ground. "Little female, come on up!"
In this emergency, he had no choice but to reveal his ugly wings.
Unable to transform into beast form, Lin Manman and Mo Tu sat on Feng Mu's silver fox, while Bai Qi transformed into a small white tiger and was held in Jiang Cha's arms.
At this critical moment, they couldn't even be jealous, but Feng Mu and Cang Yi's eyes were like knives fixed on Bai Qi, as if they wanted to slowly and thoroughly kill him.
Jiang Cha, in mid-air, stroked the white tiger's little head; its fur was soft and delicate, and felt especially comfortable to touch.
Cang Yi snorted, "Originally, I didn't bring anyone except the little female. You better behave yourself!"
"Thank you, Brother Eagle."
Bai Qi blushed as he was touched, but his body was so stiff that he didn't dare to move. He still managed to thank Cang Yi, which made it difficult for Cang Yi to hold it against him.
They took to the skies and soon discovered what kind of wild beast was rushing toward them.
"Hydrangea!"
Cang Yi stared grimly at the hundreds of maned dogs running on the ground. They followed the scent and quickly came to their campfire.
Upon discovering a pheasant, they became bloodthirsty and quickly devoured the seven or eight pheasants, leaving not even the bones behind.
"Luckily, I ran fast."
Jiang Cha stroked the little white tiger's back with a hint of fear. "Cang Yi, follow A Mu and keep an eye on them. I'm afraid they're being watched."
"Um."
Cang Yi reluctantly agreed, after all, they were a group who had gone through thick and thin together, and he wouldn't just stand by and watch them get into trouble.
The bald feathers didn't affect its flight, but they certainly ruined its appearance. And the thought of a rival sitting on its back fueled its anger even more.
He searched for Feng Mu's figure with great speed and soon spotted the giant silver fox running.
"They don't seem to be chasing after us..."
No sooner had Jiang Cha finished speaking than the barking of the maned dog was heard.
"Tsk! What a dog's nose!"
Cang Yi quickly followed, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far from them.
Feng Mu, realizing his presence had been discovered on the ground, began to panic.
If it were him, escaping would definitely not be a problem.
However, with two burdens on his back, it was quite difficult to escape with them.
Moreover, in the darkness, his stamina was inferior to that of the hyenas.
"Why don't you put me down? Those hyenas seem to be chasing us."
Mo Tu turned pale with fright, but still tremblingly voiced her thoughts.
He didn't want to implicate others; although he wanted to live, he didn't want to cause anyone's death.
"Put me down. I can hold them off for a while, as long as you take my child with you."
Lin Manman sat on the back of the giant silver fox, occasionally turning her head to look behind her. The hyenas were chasing after her relentlessly. If this continued, they might all lose their lives.
"No need, you don't need to sacrifice yourselves."
As Feng Mu ran, he spoke, his voice slightly out of breath, "Keep running, I have a plan."
He glanced at the surrounding terrain, frantically trying to think of a solution, when suddenly he heard a voice calling out "Jiang Cha" from above.
"Ah Mu, Cang Yi said the Black Serpent Clan isn't far from here, you should run that way!"
Black Serpent Clan!
Snake King Pei Ling?
Feng Mu immediately remembered who that person was. With a way out, he ran faster and faster towards the Black Serpent Clan.
