Su Jiancheng nodded knowingly and did not stop her.

With such a prodigy in the team, of course we should make the most of him.

Niu Erzhu picked up a piece of roasted, unseasoned mutated rat jerky and whispered to Black Hawk, "Brother Black Hawk, do you think macaws can eat jerky?"

Lan Yu was initially unmoved when she saw the root-like thing, but her eyes lit up when she heard it was dried meat.

Seeing Lan Yu craning his neck, Black Hawk moved the arm carrying Lan Yu a little further away. "Parrots eat bird food, melon seeds, and maybe some high-protein insects at most. Who eats dried meat?"

The mutated rat jerky was thoroughly chilled and cleaned beforehand. After being roasted into jerky, it has a strong meat texture and is easy to chew. As soon as it is taken out, it smells delicious.

Lan Yu smelled the aroma of the jerky and her mouth watered instantly. Seeing the jerky getting further and further away from her, she no longer cared about maintaining her composure.

It quickly spoke up, "Food? Of course parrots can eat meat! Let me have a taste, I'm injured."

The two exchanged a glance and gave each other a mysterious smile. Niu Erzhu instructed, "It's just a little bit. With your size, eating this little bit shouldn't be a problem."

Lan Yu craned her neck, "Quickly, let me try it."

It snatched a small piece of jerky from Niu Erzhu's hand, flew to a nearby rock, pressed it down with its claws, and pecked at it a few times with its sharp beak, tearing off a piece of jerky.

After Blue Feather finished eating a piece of meat, Black Hawk looked at it leisurely and asked, "Was the rat meat delicious?"

Blue Feather froze, its mouth slightly agape, the bits of meat hanging from its lips falling off. It stared incredulously at Black Eagle and Niu Erzhu, demanding, "This is rat meat?!"

In that instant, Lan Yu felt like her world had collapsed.

Normally, macaws will never eat any animal meat. They will only consume a small amount of animal carcasses under extreme conditions, and even then, it will not be when they are hunting.

Macaws won't touch food that birds of prey like eagles and hares eat.

Macaws eat 99% plant-based food, so it never expected to find such an irresistible smell in rat meat. For it, this was a complete violation of its ancestors' nature.

The group found Lan Yu's completely petrified state hilarious and all broke into smiles.

After realizing she had been tricked, Lan Yu puffed out her chest and angrily cursed, "You actually made fun of me! How despicable, absolutely despicable!"

"Alright, you want to keep going? Go feed the crocodiles then! If you're so capable, try venturing into Wolf King Valley all by yourself!"

Blue Feather was so angry that its feathers bristled, and it flapped its wings and flew away.

The group was left stunned and at a loss for what to do.

"Are all birds this temperamental?"

As if he had caused trouble, Niu Erzhu asked Black Eagle in a low voice.

Black Hawk paused for a moment, "It seems... that birds aren't very patient or cunning."

Niu Erzhu covered his face. "Oh no, I've messed up."

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Leng Yuexiu, who was absorbing energy mist on the other side, wondering how he would explain himself later.

Black Hawk, seemingly unconcerned, patted Niu Erzhu on the shoulder and said, "Good luck to you."

As soon as Lan Yu flew away, her figure gradually shrank.

Immediately afterwards, they heard the sound of air cutting through the air behind them, and when they looked over, they saw a familiar figure.

Cheng Kaixi was taken aback and spoke first, "Isn't that the peregrine falcon that was blasted away by Captain Leng?"

Su Jiancheng narrowed her eyes. "Really? It dares to come?"

Then, the sound of a gun being cocked was heard, followed by a loud bang as bullets whistled towards the peregrine falcon.

The peregrine falcon paused in mid-air, a bullet piercing its body, feathers and blood splattering everywhere, before it fell unconsciously, finally landing with a thud on the ground.

The one who drew the gun was a rabbit. With its enhanced eagle eyes, it was absolutely unerring as long as it had a gun in its hand.

He had already retrieved the Desert Eagle. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he reluctantly explained, "Birds are vengeful. If they really intercepted and killed that blue parrot, we would have no one to send messages."

Su Jiancheng gave a thumbs up, "As expected of our team's best sniper, at this distance, to hit the target with a single shot from a pistol without aiming is something only you can do."

The rabbit's lips curled up slightly, clearly pleased with Su Jiancheng's praise.

Su Jiancheng walked to where the peregrine falcon had fallen. "Given Lan Yu's petty nature, it probably wouldn't believe us even if we told it we helped it kill its nemesis. How about we carry out a 'decapitation operation' and take the peregrine falcon's head with us? That would serve as proof, wouldn't it?"

Leng Yuexiu looked at Su Jiancheng speechlessly. He had heard everything that had just happened behind him, but he hadn't participated.

"Do you really need a bird's approval?"

After being teased by Leng Yuexiu, Su Jiancheng waved her hand and said, "Look at you, you're so boring."

Bai Mengyan had already withdrawn her thoughts. When the gunshot rang out, she instantly withdrew her thoughts and prepared to defend herself; it was instinctive.

Of course, this will also cause the energy fluctuations of her spatial ability to spread.

After briefly learning the whole story from Cheng Kaixi, Bai Mengyan also gained some understanding of the situation.

She whispered, "No wonder I saw Blue Feather when I was investigating. It flew very fast and looked like it was not to be trifled with. I thought it had something urgent to report, but it turns out it lost face."

Leng Yuexiu checked the time; it wasn't even ten minutes into his break.

He glanced at everyone and said, "Since no one is tired, the break is over. Gather together."

Snow Leopard Black Hawk, a seasoned veteran, looked at Niu Erzhu with an unmistakable meaning: 'It's all your fault.'

Niu Erzhu had no way to express his grievances. Black Hawk and Su Jiancheng were both involved, but now they're framing him. It's so unfair.

Leng Yuexiu didn't seem inclined to dwell on this minor incident, but he spoke first.

"As you've heard, we'll be passing through the habitat of the Nile crocodiles. Using wind-based speed boosts isn't suitable for traveling quickly. We need to be ready to fight at any time as we pass through."

"However, this is the time when they are sunbathing, and they are mentally confused and slow to react. In the best-case scenario, we can pass through without disturbing them."

"Of course, this is on the premise that the mutated Nile crocodile still follows its primal instincts. If the mutated gene changes this, Xiao Yan and I will take turns activating our special abilities to ensure that everyone passes through quickly."

"Does anyone else have anything to add?"

Leng Yuexiu looked at everyone one by one. After waiting for two seconds without anyone speaking, Bai Mengyan spoke up, "I will lead the way from now on. I just scouted the area ahead and found a safe place to settle down before entering Wolf Valley."

She thought for a moment and then added, "The crocodiles are indeed sunbathing in the shallow waters now, but they are much larger than any crocodiles we've ever seen. Everyone should be prepared."

“If we go 800 meters ahead from here, we will enter their territory. In terms of numbers, they are more numerous than the information provided by Gray and Blue Feather, so it is almost impossible to bypass them. We can only choose to go through the sparse areas.”

"There are other animals in that area besides Nile crocodiles, but I didn't have time to look closely, so everyone please be careful."
