A is in StarCraft, just disembarked from the Zerg Prince spaceship.

.......

After Gao Tian finished packing his backpack, he saw Lan still squatting there.

"What are you playing?" Gao Tian strolled over.

Then he saw a tiny, whimpering creature rolling on its back under Blue's hands. "Holy crap, a snow leopard!"

It has white, spotted fur and a large tail, and looks like it's been well-fed by its mother; it's so round that you can't see its neck.

So much meat. Lan looked up at him, her eyes filled with longing for food.

You look like a piece of meat to me! The sky suddenly rose, dragging the blue sky far away.

Thank you, I already anticipated what was going to happen.

Sure enough, not long after they left the spot, a huge beast suddenly appeared and disappeared from the distant, gray, rugged, steep mountain wall.

Resembling both a snow leopard and a tiger, it is probably a native mammal unique to this planet.

It was extremely dangerous. When it hid on the mountain wall, even Gao Tian, ​​who has always had sharp eyesight, did not notice it. Its fur blended perfectly with the mountain wall, demonstrating its superb stealth ability.

The beast, resembling a hybrid of a snow leopard and a tiger, stared intently at Gao Tian and his companions. Once it was certain that the two humans posed no threat, it turned and walked towards the whimpering ball of flesh to the side.

The snow leopard gently sniffed at the ball of flesh, then extended its tongue to gently lick its fur before using its sharp teeth to gently bite the scruff of the ball's neck and carry it away.

Gao Tian stood quietly in place, watching the snow leopard and the ball of flesh disappear from sight until they were completely out of sight, before finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

Although it's not that they can't beat them, nobody wants to fight a ferocious beast with cubs for no reason. Winning or losing is not good either; it's just a terrible situation.

Lan watched with regret as the tender little ball of flesh was taken away right before his eyes.

He sighed; the meat he had almost obtained had flown away.

"Don't sigh!" Gao Tian snapped at him fiercely. "Do you even know what that thing is before you play with it? If I hadn't seen it, you would have been carried off, believe me?"

"..." Lan told him with her eyes, "You're talking nonsense."

He wouldn't even consider a whole pack of these beasts a threat.

Gao Tianyi reached out and grabbed his head, then tucked it under his arm and flicked his forehead: "You're not convinced! You're not convinced!"

"Ouch!" Lan slapped him backhand.

Gao Tian, ​​with Lan in one arm and a bag in the other, began to walk up the gentle slope on the side of the mountain.

Lan was being carried around by him like another bag, struggling incessantly.

"Let's catch some sheep to eat when we go up the mountain, and I'll cook you some mutton soup." Gao Tian took out his skateboard, activated the hover mode, and let Lan sit on it while holding his bag, coaxing him.

"Don't even think about eating snow leopards, they're not exactly tasty."

Even if it tastes good, you can't eat it. Snow leopards are at the top of the food chain, and the higher up they are, the fewer there are. The death of even one snow leopard has a huge impact on the environment.

They don't look like social animals; this entire mountain range is probably the territory of that snow leopard. Killing that snow leopard would remove the natural predators from the argali sheep and rabbits, and the mountain's ecosystem would immediately collapse.

"snort."

Hearing that there was other food, Lan stopped struggling and obediently sat on the skateboard, but his face was still sullen and he was snorting at him through his nostrils.

Gao Tian: "Hmph, people are like little dogs."

Lan stopped humming and turned to spit at him.

Gao Tian pinched his face: "Spit again?"

If you spit again, I'll automatically take it as you sticking out your tongue to seduce me.

"Hmph." Lan sensed danger and stopped spitting.

Gao Tian laughed at him, calling him a "little dog."

Lan was furious and wanted to jump off his skateboard to hit him.

"If you jump down, you'll have to climb the mountain with me," Gao Tian reminded him as he crossed a very steep rocky slope.

Lan jumped down, head down.

Climb it if you want, the Crown Prince has never been afraid of anything. If a male insect can climb a mountain, there's no reason why a female insect can't.

Unlike the mountains designated as tourist attractions, the uninhabited peaks lacked walkways and paths; in many places, the cliff faces were vertical at ninety degrees. Gao Tian used his light blade to secure himself in the rock face and then reached up to climb over.

Lan shouldn't be able to get up, right? Gao Tian peered down and discovered that Lan hadn't lost him at all; not only hadn't lost him, but was also much more relaxed than him!

"Holy crap, a climbing rope!"

Lan held a gun in his hand, pulled the trigger, and the gun fired a sharp grappling hook that plunged into the rock wall with a "whoosh." Then the grappling hook unfolded and locked in the rock wall, and like riding an elevator, the rope retracted and pulled Lan up.

Gao Tian's eyes reddened; he assumed it was the equipment the First Army had provided to Lan, and he rummaged through his bag: "Why don't I have any?"

Are you treating alphas like livestock? You deserve to be crawled on, right?

Lan looked at him smugly. Nonsense, the Ninth Army of the Zerg Empire has developed a new capture gun that can be used in space. Only one prototype has been produced and mass production hasn't started yet. If Bi Shen weren't the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, even he wouldn't be able to get one. How could a wild insect like you have one?

Lan fired another shot at the mountain wall to the side, and flew up in a flash.

"Wait for me!" Gao Tian struggled to climb up.

Blue peers down from above.

Male insects are just inferior.

We can't catch up.

Hehehe.

......

They found a natural cave halfway up the mountain to spend the night.

The cave entrance is located on a mountain wall quite high off the ground. Inside, there is a spacious cave with a huge, dried-out bird's nest made of branches, which looks like the long-abandoned nest of some kind of giant bird of prey.

The branches from the bird's nest can be tidied up and used to build today's campfire.

Today's prey was a very large adult ibex, caught by Blue.

When they encountered the herd of argali sheep, Gao Tian was exhausted and collapsed on a rock, unwilling to move. He said he would rest for a while before catching them again. Just then, Lan fired directly at the herd of argali sheep, and the grappling hook gun proved to be of great use.

The hook pierced straight through the neck of a large ibex, which collapsed without uttering a sound and was dragged back by the hook.

"Lamb soup!" Lan excitedly dragged the large ibex, weighing over 100 pounds, back home.

".......OK."

Gao Tian got up and took over.

Skinning, bleeding, and eviscerating.

The lamb hind leg, bone and all, is chopped into small pieces and put into a pot to simmer. The ribs are cut into pieces, sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, and placed on the fire to roast. The meat from the lamb foreleg and back is sliced, seasoned, and skewered on a wire mesh, placed a little away from the fire, in preparation for roasting some lamb jerky.

Lan stared at it without blinking.

As the aroma begins to waft up, take a deep breath and exclaim, "It smells so good!"

I was so intoxicated by the fragrance that my eyes almost turned into those of a beast.

Gao Tian told him to throw away the remaining sheep skeletons.

Quickly blink and revert to beast form.

When Lan went to throw away the sheep bones, she detected the scent of other creatures in the wind.

He sniffed around and realized it was the same ruby ​​with cubs from earlier that day; it was still with them.

After thinking it over, Lan figured the Ruby Beast should be able to recognize the aura of a higher-level female insect, so it wouldn't run up there to seek its own death. He ignored it and walked back.

Unconsciously, I walked along whistling: "Sheep, sheep, sheep, worm-infested mutton, so fragrant, so fragrant, it's intoxicating."

Gao Tian was sitting by the fire watching the lamb ribs roast, when he heard Gao Tian whistling in the distance. Amused, he asked, "So happy?"

"Mmm." Lan sat upright by the fire, waiting for the meal to be served.

You said it before, that the insects will need to be well-fed from now on.

......

That night, Lan, who was determined to eat his fill, used his two stomachs to show Gao Tian what a glutton really was.

Even after removing the skin, bones, and internal organs, an adult Himalayan blue sheep still yields at least forty pounds of clean meat.

...Blue ate almost half of it.

By the end of the meal, Gao Tian was terrified, fearing that he would burst his stomach at any moment.

When Lan finally stopped, Gao Tian asked him, "Are you full?"

"I'm full." Lan smiled demurely.

It's delicious, really delicious. Even if Gao Tian wasn't a male insect, he would still be willing to give him the title of imperial chef and then grant him a household registration on the capital star.

"Stand up so I can see you," Gao Tian said.

Although he didn't understand why, seeing that they had enjoyed the dinner, Lan still stood up and turned around in his line of sight.

Twenty pounds is a very large piece of meat.

But Lan's belly didn't even bulge out; it was as if everything he ate had been quickly digested.

Gao Tian's expression immediately changed.
