The moonlight was like water, its silvery glow outlining the contours of the trees, while the distant mountains disappeared into the night, leaving only a vast shadow.
A gentle breeze swept by, lifting sparks that danced in the wilderness darkness.
The crackling flas reflected in their eyes as Chen Yuan and the little ones worked together to handle the Silver Snow Sturgeon.
After the Spiritual Energy Revival, the rule banning open fires in the wild had beco aningless.
After all, Fire-type Pet Beasts often spewed flas, and if they were really banned, it seems all Fire-type Pet Beasts would end up imprisoned.
Moreover, the ban on open fires outdoors was due to the risk of vegetation catching fire and spreading, making firefighting difficult.
But now the wild was filled with various attribute Pet Beasts, all ready to extinguish fires as soon as they occurred.
The mountain was not like ho, with limited resources, so Chen Yuan had to resort to the most primitive cooking thod—grilling fish.
During his college days in Yu City, he had eaten Sichuan-style grilled fish several tis.
Sichuan-style grilled fish differed significantly from traditional barbecue thods, employing a unique "grill first, then stew" approach, blending the essence of grilling and stewing, resulting in a delicious taste.
In Chen Yuan’s view, anyone traveling to Yu City must try Sichuan-style grilled fish at least once.
However, given the current conditions, he had to skip the "stew" step.
With Mr. Xiong’s help, Chen Yuan first cleaned and prepared the Silver Snow Sturgeon, removing its silvery scales to reveal ice-like translucent fish at.
A light touch revealed its extraordinary elasticity and icy cold sensation, much different from any fish he had eaten before.
"Knife, please."
Chen Yuan extended his right hand, and Cola trotted over with a little knife in its mouth.
With great effort, Chen Yuan made several cuts along the back of the Silver Snow Sturgeon and then sprinkled salt, ginger powder, cooking wine, and pepper over it, using his hands to massage the seasonings into the fish’s body.
These seasonings were in small bottles, easy to carry.
Chen Yuan had long anticipated unexpected situations on the mountain, so improving their als was a welco bonus.
While the Silver Snow Sturgeon marinated, Chen Yuan glanced at Mr. Xiong, who was drooling, and said, "I need a little honey."
Soy sauce mixed with honey creates a sauce that enhances the fish’s flavor.
"Roar roar roar!"
Mr. Xiong imdiately understood, wiped away his drool, grabbed the Bear Cub, and ran out of the cave.
"Aw aw aw!"
Cola wanted to tag along in search of honey but was stopped by Chen Yuan: "Do you want to turn into a honey-loving dog again?"
"Aww....."
Cola seed to recall unpleasant mories and shook its head vigorously.
Chen Yuan continued, "Call the Fla-tailed Fox and the Ice Fox over."
The Silver Snow Sturgeon was about three and a half ters long, and although its body was flat, it had plenty of at, more than the two little ones could eat.
"Not necessarily..."
"The Fallen teor Horned Beast and Mr. Xiong are both big eaters."
Simply put, the Fallen teor Horned Beast’s appetite is equivalent to the combined appetite of all the little ones on the farm, minus Cola.
Cola has a decent appetite.
Run Run Duck belongs to the small-eater category but eats frequently throughout the day, with als ranging from early breakfast, breakfast, lunch, afternoon al, dinner, late dinner, midnight snack, hard work reward al, cloudy day unhappy al, sunny day happy al...
Basically, if it wants to eat, there’s always a reason.
With these thoughts flashing by, Chen Yuan whispered, "This Spirit Fish is Level 3 and can use cold-type skills, which might be greatly beneficial to the Ice Fox."
"Aw aw."
Cola responded, but then reluctantly glanced at the Silver Snow Sturgeon, unable to move its paws.
Seeing through Cola’s thoughts, Chen Yuan smiled kindly and reassured, "Don’t worry, we won’t eat it before you co back."
Hearing this, Cola finally forced itself to look away, turned around, and ran towards where the Fla-tailed Fox rested.
But it kept looking back every few steps, dragging out the short distance over a long ti.
Fortunately, Run Run Duck and the Electric Flying Cat weren’t here, or Cola wouldn’t be so at ease.
"Aw～"
To return as quickly as possible, Cola used [Wind Stepping] without hesitation, a gentle breeze rising under its feet, its light brown fur wildly fluttering as it charged forward at top speed.
It dashed recklessly, like a ghostly figure weaving through the forest, a gentle wind rustling the golden leaves, producing a crisp sound near its ears.
As it proceeded, so Pet Beasts gathered together, sharing food much like they had at Crescent Lake. Suddenly, a gust of wind whooshed through, startling the little ones so much they didn’t even take their food with them as they scattered.
"Aw aw!"
The barking faded into the distance, and the little ones peeked from various hiding spots. Once they were sure it was safe, they regrouped to enjoy their dinner.
In so areas, fierce battles were occurring. One side was a massive and ferocious Pet Beast, while the other was a small yet agile little Pet Beast, the combat ferociously explosive.
Cola paid no attention, enveloped in a whirlwind, as it whooshed past them.
Cola’s formidable presence caused both Pet Beasts to retreat, their eyes watching Cola quickly vanish, their fierce battle coming to a halt.
"Roar..."
What a powerful fellow.
"Hiss..."
Do you feel the sa way?
The two originally battling creatures exchanged glances, suddenly feeling a lack of interest.
In the eyes of that powerful Pet Beast that had just passed, our fight must have been rather boring, or it wouldn’t have bothered to stop.
