The man chosen in the third level of the Black Servant Market was taken away by Sigrid, and only a tragic end awaited him.

Su Yang and Lin Anlan quickly left after exiting the gate, flying back to the other side of the cliff. Only after landing did Su Yang feel a sense of peace. This experience had changed his perspective on this world. Although his original world was also filled with materialism, this other world seemed more dog-eat-dog due to the presence of elemental power. At least so far, he hadn't seen any law enforcement agencies or national laws; instead, city lords, like those in ancient times, handled all kinds of livelihood issues. If this world had a sound legal system and effective oversight, would the human trafficking problem not exist?

Just as Su Yang was still pondering these questions, Lin Anlan patted him on the shoulder and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing." Su Yang came back to his senses and said to Lin Anlan's concerned expression, "Let's continue hunting."

"Oh, okay."

The two returned to the forest and continued deeper into it. After walking for a while, a small group of ferocious beasts appeared ahead. Lin Anlan, seeing the beasts ahead, cheerfully introduced them to Su Yang: "The beasts ahead are wood-elemental grass-warming beasts. Their meat is delicious, and their rank is only E. This is a good target, and there are quite a few of them."

Looking at it, Su Yang saw that the grass-warming beast was somewhat similar in size to a deer in the original world. Judging from its appearance, Su Yang believed that he would need to hunt at least two to achieve his goal of collecting 100 jin of meat.

After discussing it for a while, at Lin Anlan's suggestion, Su Yang activated the mist element skill "Hypervasion" and quietly moved forward. The forest was soon shrouded in mist. The grass-warming beast, which was originally very vigilant, seemed to have its senses blocked by the mist, or its senses were not as sharp as before, allowing Su Yang and Lin Anlan to get within five meters of each other.

The two agreed to each hunt one. Lin Anlan had already chosen her target, nocked an arrow, and aimed at a Grass Warm Beast. Su Yang waited quietly for the Grass Warm Beast closest to him to approach. Once they were within range of the attack, the two worked together in perfect unison and successfully killed two Grass Warm Beasts.

The sudden attack startled the grass-warm beast herd, and they scattered in all directions. After the fog dissipated, Su Yang excitedly went to the side of the grass-warm beast that had been killed, squatted down and examined it carefully. The grass-warm beast's fur was very soft and would be quite suitable for making clothes or cushions.

Without saying a word, Su Yang used his elemental power to condense a small knife and began to peel off the flesh of the Grass Warm Beast. Lin Anlan also drew her short knife and began to treat her own Grass Warm Beast. The two of them peeled off the fur one after the other. However, Su Yang's skills were not as good as Lin Anlan's. Although he also successfully peeled it off, some parts were inevitably damaged.

Next, they began to collect the beast meat. Lin Anlan cut open the belly of the Grass Warm Beast, took out all the internal organs and threw them aside. Then she told Su Yang that she was done collecting. Su Yang turned around and saw that Lin Anlan's so-called completion of collection meant the entire Grass Warm Beast carcass left after removing the internal organs. He immediately asked in confusion, "Can't we eat the internal organs?"

"Can internal organs still be used?" Lin Anlan was also asked: "We don't think we've ever eaten the internal organs of ferocious beasts here."

"It should be edible, let me pick some." Su Yang is a super offal lover. In the original world, his favorite food was tripe. He went to the pile of offal, poked around with his knife, found the stomach of the Grass Warm Beast, cut it open, and poured out all the fresh and undigested grass that the Grass Warm Beast had eaten. He then continued to pick.

Su Yang wasn't particularly fond of the liver and kidneys, so he set the heart aside and returned to his Grass Warm Beast. He picked out the stomach and heart there as well. He had originally planned to cut off some of the Grass Warm Beast's flesh and put it in his bag, but since both backpacks were already full of fur, there wasn't much room left. So, Su Yang decided to follow Lin Anlan's example and keep the entire Grass Warm Beast carcass, intending to deal with it later.

"How do we get there now? If we fly, can you handle the weight? The two Grass Warm Beasts together probably weigh close to 300 pounds." Grass Warm Beasts are different from other ferocious beasts. They have a lot of bones but little meat. Therefore, a Grass Warm Beast weighing about 150 pounds might only have 40 to 50 pounds of meat on its body.

"Let's give it a try, I don't know either."

The two immediately began to try, each carrying a Grass Warm Beast on their backs, and flew together into the air. This weight forced Su Yang to increase the consumption of elemental power, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to support the weight of the two people plus the 300-pound Grass Warm Beast corpse.

After assessing the situation, Su Yang said to Lin Anlan, "I feel fine. Hold on tight, let's go back." Then he flew back at full speed in the direction they had come from.

During the journey, Su Yang continuously changed the elemental power attribute that enabled him to fly, so that the elemental power of each attribute would not be completely depleted. After practicing before, Su Yang found that when the elemental power of each attribute was completely exhausted, he would be more sleepy at night and sleep for a longer time. However, if it was not completely exhausted, this would not happen.

After flying at high speed for nearly three hours, the two finally saw the familiar outline of the royal city. Using the royal city as a reference, they quickly found their Hidden Farm and landed steadily on the ground. The Icewing Hounds swarmed around Su Yang, circling him and showing great interest in the Grass Warm Beasts he was carrying. After temporarily driving them away, the two put the Grass Warm Beasts in the stream to wash away the blood on their bodies.

"I'm going to take a shower and change my clothes first. I'm covered in blood and feel a bit uncomfortable. I'll come and take over for you after I'm done," Lin Anlan said as she walked towards the house.

Su Yang stayed by the stream, cleaned all the animal meat, then brought over a few planks, rinsed them several times, laid them flat on the grass, placed the grass-warming beast on them, and took a knife to cut it.

When Lin Anlan came out, Su Yang had already begun cutting up the second Grass Warm Beast. "Let me help you," Lin Anlan offered to help after coming to his side, and Su Yang let her cut off the meat from the already cut Grass Warm Beast.

The two worked until dark before they finished processing all the meat. They took the meat back to their room and counted it. This hunting trip yielded eight animal legs, four internal organs, and a lot of chopped meat, weighing about a hundred pounds. As for the remaining bones, the Icewing Dog took them away as chew toys.

"Looks like we won't need to go out this winter. We have meat and vegetables, so we can get through the winter in peace." Su Yang's face was filled with happiness. As if remembering something, he asked, "By the way, An Lan, do you have any winter holidays?"

"Of course there is. The last day of the winter month is a festival celebrated by all the people on the continent, called the Qinggui Festival."

"Youth Return Festival? What does that celebrate?"

"My mother said it was to celebrate the return of spring and the return of greenery to the earth, since winter is quite difficult to endure."

Su Yang felt that the Qinggui Festival was similar in nature to the Spring Festival in his original world. Thinking about it carefully, this was the first time he had seen snow since arriving in this world, and also the first time he had the opportunity to properly celebrate a festival. An idea immediately popped into his mind, and he said to Lin Anlan:

"Then I'll take you to celebrate the Spring Festival in my hometown this year."
