126: Chapter 126 A Group of "Depressed" People!?

Therefore, Sister-in-law Crocodile attached great importance to the memories before this departure.

She carefully roamed every corner of the lake.

On An Ke's side, he took the Camp out from his Portable Space.

A vast, empty clearing once again saw the appearance of a massive Camp.

Whether it was Little Scar and the others, or Three Hairs and King Kong, having seen this so many times, they still found it unbelievable.

"If Little Mouse had this ability, I could store endless food~" Three Hairs was extremely envious.

An Ke rubbed the little fellow's head.

He said to it, "Go patrol nearby, see if you can find more Flintlock Parts."

"Yes, sir~ Master!"

The Hamster agreed without hesitation, immediately climbing down from An Ke's shoulder and scampering off.

On the scene, An Ke began making arrangements for the barbecue.

Another barbecue feast was coming up!!

Of course! The food in the Portable Space was eaten first, while the newly barbecued food was directly placed into the Portable Space by An Ke.

It's worth mentioning that the Portable Space has a very bug-like characteristic.

That is, anything placed inside will maintain the exact state it was in when put in.

In other words, as long as food remains inside the Portable Space,

it will never rot or spoil.

And other items like supplies will also remain perfectly preserved, not oxidizing or corroding.

Even hot food placed inside the Portable Space will still be hot when taken out.

An Ke was very satisfied with this characteristic of the Portable Space.

It's fucking awesome!

In the future, even if he goes to a desert, a death zone like Lop Nur, he won't need to worry.

Food, water, supplies, shelter... none of it will be a problem!

"The only downside is it can't be used for fermenting or brewing certain things..."

Some things require waiting for fermentation and brewing.

For example, beer, pickled vegetables, etc...

After all, once these things are placed in the Portable Space, they remain in the state they were put in.

"If only I could control this characteristic," An Ke mused inwardly.

That way, he could keep whatever he wanted in stasis, and let other things follow the normal flow of time.

Actually, An Ke wasn't too disappointed about this.

After all, the Portable Space can be upgraded.

Who knows, after an upgrade, An Ke might be able to control this characteristic.

During this period of contemplation, Old Crocodile kept bringing fish.

It's worth mentioning that this time, there were also several Turtles.

Old Crocodile was extremely excited; he wanted to try if this new thing tasted good after being grilled.

Even Little Scar and the others were salivating, eagerly anticipating the taste of this fresh food.

However, when Little Scar and the others saw the Turtle's thick shell, they couldn't help but feel troubled.

"Great King, this thing's shell is so hard. Can it be eaten?"

Little Scar couldn't figure out how to grill this Turtle.

"Of course it can!" An Ke said confidently,

"But it won't taste good prepared now. Let's set it aside for later, after I make some Seasonings."

"With Seasonings, it will taste much more flavorful."

If Turtle is cooked without Seasonings, the fishy smell is very strong, and the texture isn't great.

So, if you want to eat this thing, it's best to have Seasonings first.

Unless you're truly starving to the point of dizziness.

Old Crocodile, Little Scar, and King Kong were quite disappointed but obediently followed An Ke's suggestion.

Next came the familiar grilled fish.

The aroma of grilled fish filled the air, spreading continuously.

Right at that moment, An Ke was the first to sense something abnormal because his [Spider Sense] was triggered.

Fortunately, the sense was at its weakest level, meaning the danger was still far away.

He was just being watched.

An Ke immediately stood up, his gaze following the source of the sense.

Soon, he saw pairs of eyes on a distant mound, glaring fiercely at him, Little Scar, and the others.

"I didn't expect this pack to not have gone far and still be lurking nearby."

An Ke was quite surprised.

The footprints near the Camp earlier belonged to these creatures—they were the most brutal predators, Hyenas.

They also have a nickname: Proctology Department Heads, or "Ball Removal" Experts.

Unlike carnivores like lions and tigers, Hyenas don't directly kill their prey.

Instead, they start biting from the prey's lower body, pulling out their intestines and liver, eating them bit by bit.

Making the prey watch themselves being eaten alive, dying in agony.

When the Hyenas on the distant back slope met An Ke's gaze, they immediately bared their teeth.

That was a show of intimidation towards An Ke.

"Oh? Unaffected by [Natural Affinity]?" An Ke was quite surprised inwardly.

But he quickly had an answer.

After all, something similar had happened before.

Back then, when eight large Water Buffaloes attacked the Camp, they weren't affected by [Natural Affinity] either.

So, most likely, this pack of Hyenas in front of him were prey arranged by the [National Fortune Game] for a Beast Attack.

Just didn't know which unlucky soul was killed by the Hyenas.

Beast Attacks are conducted at night.

It wasn't night now, so it couldn't be a Beast Attack arranged by the [National Fortune Game].

Most likely, they were animals left over from a previous Beast Attack.

Beside him, King Kong and Little Scar also noticed the pack of Hyenas on the back slope.

King Kong, who had been happily eating fish, immediately flapped his wings and flew into the air.

Shouting loudly: "Dogs! Dogs!"

"Enemy attack! Protect the King!"

All around, Little Scar and the others picked up their weapons, confronting the distant Hyenas, ready to fight at any moment.

Originally, Little Scar and the others wanted to see if they could scare the Hyenas away.

But these "Proctology Department Heads" had no intention of letting An Ke and his group go and began slowly approaching.

Without the cover of the back slope, An Ke and the others quickly ascertained the enemy's numbers.

There were seventeen in total, not too far off from An Ke's earlier estimate.

In the live broadcast room, the sudden appearance of the Hyena pack instantly energized the viewers.

However, unlike before, the viewers this time weren't too tense or worried.

They even felt quite excited.

"Hey! Not bad!"

"I was getting drowsy, but an exciting scene has arrived."

"fight!!"

"By the way, do you think if the two giant crocodiles were here, these Hyenas would still dare to approach?"

"Obviously! Hyenas are the scoundrels of the wilderness; they dare to challenge anything."

"They even dare to steal food from lions."

"They're practically the 'Hyenass' of the wilderness..."

"..."

After the previous "false alarm," the viewers learned about the Monkey troop's terrifying combat power.

Now, Dragon Country was very confident in The monkeys' fighting ability.

With weapons in hand, how could they possibly lose to this pack of Hyenas?

Of course! The most crucial factor was the presence of the Old Crocodile Couple.

Although this pack of Hyenas was slightly larger than normal Hyenas,

it wasn't to an exaggerated extent.

The Old Crocodile Couple could easily kill these guys.
