“Crunch?? ”

Accompanied by a crispy sound, Shen Qian’s Caged Rabbit finally arrived fashionably late after everyone had tasted the Beggar’s Chicken. Shen Qian deftly divided it into several portions for everyone to taste. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Unlike Qin Lang’s Beggar’s Chicken, the naturally tight meat of the wild rabbit became crispy after being grilled on an open flame, almost completely losing its moisture.

Its color had turned into a strange deep red due to the sap of the Cherry Red

Blood Tree branches seeping in.

“Here, have a taste!” Shen Qian picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, chewing with a “crunch crunch” sound. Her face showed a look of enjoyment; she was evidently satisfied with the delicious food she had cooked this time.

However, thinking that her food was still inferior to Qin Lang’s Beggar’s

Chicken, her expression couldn’t help but frown.

This absurd guy!

Qin Lang took a piece and tasted it carefully, quickly showing a look of surprise.

The Cherry Red Blood Tree had a special, savory scent, which when mixed with the grilled rabbit meat, made the taste of the rabbit meat even more substantial and tempting.

The tree’s slightly spicy sap seeped into the rabbit meat during the grilling process, adding a spicy taste to the rabbit meat, which didn’t have too many seasonings.

With its crispy taste, it indeed tasted quite special.

It felt like eating jerky, but the freshly grilled and still steaming rabbit meat was obviously not comparable to jerky.

Weaving the Cherry Red Blood Tree into a cage not only fixed and bounded the rabbit meat, allowing it to take shape, but also allowed the sap to permeate evenly into every comer of the rabbit meat.

It indeed was a unique way of cooking.

Zhou Tianhao on the other side also tasted this delicious food, nodding in satisfaction, “This Caged Rabbit is also delicious. Its crispy taste is very different from the Beggar’s Chicken.”

“But if let me choose between the two, I choose the Beggar’s Chicken.”

Zhou Tianhao’s conclusion did not surprise Shen Qian. After all, after tasting the Beggar’s Chicken, she knew she had no chance of winning this time.

She had anticipated it already, so naturally, she didn’t feel disappointed. The girl looked at Qin Lang with slight annoyance, “Just you wait, I will surpass you next time!”

However, after saying that, she herself started laughing.

“Ok! The food just now was not even enough to fill a tooth gap!” Zhou Tianhao chortled, at the same time took out the Mountain Sparrow and snake meat he had gathered, “Let’s continue cooking!”

“Ok, I’ll start making Mushroom Mustard Fish Soup first.” Qin Lang stood up, handled the big fish he had caught and other ingredients, started making the soup, and then processed the other ingredients.

“I will help too!”

The other two naturally wouldn’t just sit and watch Qin Lang work. Soon, the three of them were busy preparing their dinner amidst laughter.

The evening breeze blew gently.

By the time the three had had their fill, the sun had already set deep into the forest, with only the red glow of the evening sky lighting up the west.

After cleaning up the traces of their outdoor meal, the three of them sat on the soft grass, casually chatting.

Behind them, the eight food spirits had somehow gathered together and were quietly chatting amongst themselves.

It’s said that the dining table is the best place to get closer to each other. After two meals, not only did Zhou Tianhao and Qin Lang become more familiar with each other, but the eight food spirits also got to know each other better, instead of just sticking to their own partners like before.

“Gurulu!”

Dan Bao quietly pulled Lark aside and handed him a specially reserved Roasted Sparrow Leg.

“Krara?”

Lark blinked his eyes, salivating at the sight of the Roasted Sparrow Leg. At the same time, he was somewhat puzzled by the unexplained eagerness of this newly acquainted little guy.

“Gurulu gudududu hi…”

Dan Bao’s yolk-like head swayed up and down, left and right inside its body, gesturing to imply its intentions. Lark’s face showed a look of realization.

“Krara!”

Lark gave Dan Bao a confident look, then contentedly bit into a sparrow leg, showing a satisfied expression.

“Gurulu!”

Seeing the other party accepting his gift, Dan Bao showed a joyful look, and turned his head to look at Spicy who was following him.

“Chacka!”

Spicy gave Dan Bao an approving look as if to say ” good boy”, then looked around, picked up another sparrow leg in his mouth, and handed it to Lark.

“Klara?”

There was a look of confusion on Lark’s face.

There’s another one?

“Chacka chaba kaka…”

Spicy fluttered his long ears just like Dan Bao, expressing the meaning he wanted to convey.

“Klara!”

Lark gladly accepted another sparrow leg, apparently acceding to some request from Spicy.

The three food spirits quickly returned to the other five food spirits. The others noticed the traces of oil at the corner of Lark’s mouth and collectively expressed their disapproval.

So you guys had a private feast!

“Klara-”

Lark rolled his eyes.

This is what I earned through my own efforts!

However, when his companions asked how he earned it, he remained silent, only showing a mysterious smile.

The trio of Qin Lang, including Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao, did not notice the strange behavior of the food spirits.

Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Shen Qian stretched lazily. Her face was full of anticipation, “Although I’ve traveled quite a few times, I mostly stayed in hotels. This is the first time I am spending a night in the wild!” She looked at the tent behind her that was meant for her occupancy, and her face was filled with eagerness to try something new. But soon, she became worried, “In the wild, will we be attacked by wild beasts from the forest while we are asleep?”

“That’s a possibility, given that we are in a public place,” Qin Lang paused slightly.

In his previous life, he had similar experiences, and the general solution for safety issues at night was to travel in groups and take turns keeping watch at night. If there were any problems, the person on watch would wake the others.

Just as he was about to suggest this plan and discuss the night watch order with the others, Zhou Tianhao, who stood beside him, began to speak with a cheery tone.

“This problem is not hard to solve.”

“Brother Zhou, do you have a solution?” Seeing Zhou Tianhao’s confident demeanor, Qin Lang halted his words, deciding to hear his solution first.

“Jiela has a combat skill called Dark Curtain Watch.” Zhou Tianhao pointed at one of the food spirits who were huddled together and chatting, and said with a smile.

“So, that’s the solution!” Qin Lang’s eyes lit up.

jiela is a four-star food spirit belonging to Zhou Tianhao. When the trio had jumped from the top of a waterfall before, they had slowed down by using jiela’s combat skill, Wind Singing Whirlpool.

The nature-based combat skill, Dark Curtain Watch, provides extraordinary sensory abilities, perceiving everything in darkness, while drawing strength from the darkness itself to speed up the user’s recovery.

Unless this skill is paired with a corresponding skill that creates darkness, it becomes rather useless in training competitions. After all, the competition couldn’t possibly be held in the dark.

However, in the wilderness at night, there’s no doubt about the usefulness of this skill.

“At night, there’s an endless supply of energy to restore Jiela’s strength and keep her energized. Therefore, we can sleep in peace.”
