After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 47 Touching Anyone Makes You Stupid
"It's up ahead, just walk another twenty meters."

Looking at the pitch-black forest, Sang Tian remembered that snakes have a strong sense of heat and can directly pinpoint the location of their prey.

Walking twenty meters forward, sure enough, we encountered a Class C alien beast resting in the shade.
The beasts of the Floating Islands are highly aggressive. Only a very few beasts with high mental strength possess the ability to think; other beasts will attack any female they encounter.

“It’s C-grade.” Sang Tian tossed aside the flashlight, and before she could finish speaking, the three beams of red light from the Flame Bow had already shot out, hitting the lizard on the back.

The lizard's skin is tough, and the arrow only penetrated two or three centimeters, not enough to pierce through it.

"Help me, I can't solve this." Sang Tian didn't try to be brave and promptly asked Qing Zhi for help.

Qingzhi nodded, took off, and easily jumped onto the tree trunk. When he landed, he appeared behind the lizard. His movements were light and unnoticed.

He had somehow acquired a vine in his hand, and he swung it at the lizard with force.

The lizard's skin was torn and bleeding from Qingzhi's blows. Knowing it was no match for Qingzhi, it quickly changed direction and headed towards Sang Tian.

Sang Tian drew her bow tighter and released the string; the closer she got, the higher the damage from her Flaming Bow became.

A red light illuminated the surroundings, and three arrows shot into the lizard's body, this time penetrating seven or eight centimeters deep. The flames from the arrows began to burn the beast's internal organs.

The C-grade lizard was nearly killed, losing all strength to struggle.

Seeing that it wasn't quite dead, Sang Tian quickly fired three more arrows. This time, the arrows pierced through the lizard's body and were pinned to the ground.

She put away the Flaming Bow, and shone her flashlight on the beast, clearly seeing a heat emanating from the air.

"Could it have been cooked?"

"It's not that bad, let's take it back and check on it first." Qingzhi picked up the lizard by its tail and lifted it up.

Sang Tian and Qing Zhi returned to their resting place. The tents were already pitched, and Wu Lanyuan, who had been hunting, had also returned. The strange beasts they had imagined did not appear; instead, there were some oddly shaped wild vegetables piled up at their feet.

Bi Jingyan, who was preparing the meal, complained, "We haven't eaten meat for two days. Can't you bring some meat back? Why do we have to eat this vegetarian food?"

Wu Lanyuan froze as she picked vegetables.

"It's too dark, I can't see clearly." After saying that, he looked up at Sang Tian, ​​and when he saw that the girl's expression had relaxed, he knew that his guess was correct.

She doesn't want to eat the alien beasts; if they really fight back, she might not eat a single bite of food.

"Could you be any more perfunctory? Saying that is really smearing your tiger clan, that carnivores are eating wild vegetables." Bi Jingyan kept complaining.

"We're back." Sang Tian was worried that if she continued talking, Bi Jingyan would personally go and capture the strange beast.

Bi Jingyan looked up in response and saw the lizard in Qingzhi's hand. His eyes gleamed green, like a wolf that had been starving for a long time eyeing its prey.

Sang Tian stepped forward and shielded the lizard behind her. "No, this is my experimental subject!"

Bi Jingyan completely gave up the idea of ​​eating meat.

Qingzhi placed the lizard carcass on the ground, and the beastmen, except for Bi Jingyan, surrounded her.

Sang Tian reached out and stroked the dead lizard. The lizard's rough skin didn't feel particularly good to the touch, but she felt that her behavior was very similar to the protagonist's sister in an animated film—touching anyone would make them look stupid.

Half an hour later, Bi Jingyan finished cooking and said, "Let's eat."

"Let's go eat. Half an hour has passed and there's still no response. It probably won't work on the orcs." Sang Tian was getting impatient, and her stomach was rumbling.

She got up to help Bi Jingyan.

Bi Jingyan used wild vegetables to make a wild vegetable rice dish, fried wild vegetables, and a soup. The dishes were few, but the portions were large.

Having not had a hot meal in a long time, Sang Tian couldn't help but swallow hard when she saw the all-vegetarian feast. Even ordinary wild vegetables could be transformed into delicious dishes in Bi Jingyan's hands. This made Sang Tian once again affirm Bi Jingyan's culinary skills.

The six of them were halfway through their meal when Shen Jinxi and Zuo finally arrived at the mission point. The group was shivering from the cold of the high-temperature island and, coupled with the fatigue of a day's journey, everyone was listless.

As soon as they entered the woods, they saw a light, so they followed the source of the light.

As they got closer to the light source, the aroma of food filled the air, and their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

Seeing Sang Tian's mouth glistening with oil while eating, Shen Jinxi didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, she envied Sang Tian for having a hot meal.

She was so tempted that she swallowed hard, but she chose to hold back so that Sang Tian wouldn't laugh at her.

"Let's rest around here too," Shen Jinxi suggested, instructing the animal handlers to set up tents.

Sang Tian ate fried wild vegetables, which were coated with batter and tasted a bit like fried oyster mushrooms. Sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, it was the best dish of the meal.

She ate two bowls of rice and vegetables, and her upper abdomen bulged slightly, a sign that she was full.

"When did they arrive?" Sang Tian only noticed Shen Jinxi and her group after she had finished eating and drinking. They had already set up their tents and looked like they were about to cook.

Li Su took a sip of water. "I've been here for a while now, and I was just watching us eat."

She had exhausted herself today, and with the temperature dropping, she sat by the campfire, feeling warm and full. She yawned and felt sleepy.

"It's easy to have indigestion if you go to sleep right after eating." Wu Lanyuan glanced at her and casually reminded her, worried that she would fall asleep immediately.

Sang Tian had no choice but to stand up and prepare to digest her food in the vicinity.

"what--"

A scream echoed through the woods, drawing the attention of everyone present.

The sound was coming from Zuo Ya's tent.

Zuo Ya's beast-tamer rushed into the tent, and a few seconds later, a lizard was thrown out of the tent by the people inside.

The lizard scurried around in fright, focused solely on escaping, and showed no intention of attacking anyone.

Sang Tian's pupils dilated in shock. She and the other five beastmen all looked towards the spot where they had been standing. The dead lizard beast was indeed gone.

This means that the lizard crawling and scurrying around now is the same one from before!
"Should we bring it back?" The moment Sang Tian asked, Qing Zhi and Li Su had already taken action, and the remaining three also moved towards that direction.

Under the cover of night, the lizard darted into the woods.

Zuo Ya was terrified and turned pale. She watched as Sang Tian's beastmen disappeared into the forest, mistakenly believing that they were going to steal the beasts again, just like during the day. She was furious but dared not speak out.

"Xiaoya, what's wrong?" Shen Jinxi arrived late and went straight to Zuo Ya's side, offering her belated concern.

"When I was changing my clothes, I found a lizard inside. It scared me to death." Even now, thinking about it, Zuo Ya's heart is still pounding from the shock.

Seeing that Zuo Ya was unharmed, Shen Jinxi sensed that something was wrong.

While Zuo Ya was changing clothes without any warning, the strange beast did not choose to attack her.
"By the way, that lizard seemed quite afraid of people. I just called out once, and it actually backed away in fright. It looked really stupid."

When these words reached Sang Tian's ears, she gave an awkward smile.

Oh no, could she be Sang Wenya? Anyone who touches her is a fool.

I added an extra chapter yesterday, so be sure to read it! (Actually, I secretly added 10,000 words; if no one notices, I'll just say so myself!)
As usual, I'm asking for your monthly votes and positive reviews. I've noticed it's really tough climbing the new book rankings in the backend, so I need your help!
