167: Chapter 167 Unprecedented! Pterosaur Stew!

Initially, everyone had felt sorry for Little Scar.

A warm face pressed against a cold butt.

But once they remembered he had eight wives, everyone's expressions changed.

Wait! Little Scar, you already have eight wives and you still want to mess with her?

She looks so delicate and innocent, clearly inexperienced with the world. Little Scar, don't you feel any guilt?

The crowd collectively hoped the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey would remain this aloof and ignore Little Scar.

Inside the live broadcast room.

After being dejected for a moment, Little Scar perked himself up.

Back when he was the Monkey King,

courtship had always been incredibly easy.

Now that his courtship was facing a challenge, he actually felt a bit excited.

What he loved most was a challenge.

Little Scar chuckled and said to the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey:

"The milk and honey were brought over from the Great King."

"They can be considered the Great King's things."

"Beautiful lady, just treat them as a gift from the Great King to you."

However, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey still didn't take them.

But this time, instead of a direct refusal, she said to Little Scar:

"If you do exactly as I say, I will accept this gift."

Little Scar was immediately overjoyed. "Beautiful lady, just say the word, and I'll definitely do it."

Under the direction of the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, Little Scar went to An Ke's side.

"I'm standing by the Great King's side now. What next?" Little Scar laughed.

Then, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey walked over.

She reached out and placed the milk and honey from Little Scar's hands into An Ke's hands.

Then, the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey took them back from An Ke's hands.

She didn't look at Little Scar the entire time, only at An Ke.

Finally, she said to An Ke, "Thank you for the gift, Big Brother."

Little Scar's mouth hung open slightly. "Was that really necessary?"

"It's the same thing anyway. Wouldn't it be the same if you just took it from my hand?"

"You blockhead monkey! Do you even understand the importance of ritual?"

...

After the interlude, with Kata leading the way,

An Ke's group set off once again.

The light mist in the Bamboo Forest remained.

Looking at the Bamboo Forest through the mist, Kata couldn't help but say, "It's truly beautiful!"

"It gives off a hazy, Dream-like aesthetic."

An Ke smiled. "It is beautiful, but it's very disadvantageous for us."

Visibility in a Bamboo Forest isn't great to begin with.

Now, with an added layer of mist, visibility was even more restricted.

"True!" Kata had originally been in an appreciative mood.

But now, that sense of appreciation vanished completely.

In these conditions, it's easy to get lost or suffer a Beast Attack.

But for some reason, Kata wasn't worried at all.

Having An Ke's group following behind him made him feel extremely safe.

With His Excellency An Ke here, any danger could be resolved.

Kata's thinking was correct.

An Ke wasn't worried about getting lost or a Beast Attack at all.

It went without saying that their group's combat power was off the charts.

As for the former, it was nothing to An Ke, who possessed top-tier wilderness survival knowledge.

He had over a hundred ways to determine direction.

Even if they did get lost, the food reserves in his Portable Space were enough to keep them worry-free for days.

There was also a simple and crude method.

That was to let King Kong 'uproot the mountains'—no, 'uproot the bamboo.'

At this moment, King Kong was 'playing' with some bamboo.

The rest of the journey proceeded without incident.

Along the way, An Ke collected many plants.

There were vegetables and medicinal herbs, such as yams and potatoes.

This left Kata, who was watching from the side, looking dazed.

He didn't recognize many of the plants An Ke deemed useful enough to collect.

So it turned out that gold was scattered everywhere here?

"Excellency An Ke, your... your knowledge is simply incredible."

Kata admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Soon, it was noon.

Lunchtime had arrived.

An Ke had been looking forward to lunch for a while because he planned to stew pterosaur soup.

It could be said that this dish was unprecedented and would likely never be seen again.

When he shared this idea with the animals and Kata,

the animals were all very interested.

King Kong was the first to get excited. "I'm going to taste what my ancestors were like!"

Three Hairs spat out the nuts stored in his cheeks.

"Little Mouse is going to eat a Dinosaur~"

Tiger Mom smiled. "I wonder what this bird we've never seen before tastes like."

Leopard Mom nodded, though being more steady, she thought further.

"Could this kind of bird be poisonous?"

Since no one knew anything about an animal like a pterosaur,

it was uncertain if it was toxic.

An Ke smiled. "Don't worry! Pterosaurs aren't poisonous."

"King Kong is actually right! Dinosaurs can be considered the ancestors of birds."

"So you can think of it as eating a new species of bird."

Little Scar tilted his head and chuckled at the Golden Snub-nosed Monkey.

"Lady, if you find it delicious later, I'll give you my portion too."

The Golden Snub-nosed Monkey said flatly, "No need."

"I want what Big Brother gives me."

The animals were all curious about the meat of this entirely new species, the pterosaur, finding it very novel.

In the entire group, only Kata felt awkward.

What was happening?

Eating a Dinosaur?

He never imagined that in his lifetime, he would have the honor of eating Dinosaur meat.

In the outside world, the viewers were getting excited.

"Holy crap! Boss An and the others are going to eat pterosaur meat."

"This should go down in the history books—the first person to eat Dinosaur meat."

"Isn't that obvious? Dinosaurs on Blue Star have been extinct for so long; you couldn't eat them even if you wanted to."

"Even the world's richest people or top celebrities wouldn't get this chance."

"I wonder if Dinosaur meat tastes good."

"I really want to try it."

"My standards aren't high; I just hope I can eat some pork soon."

"..."

Almost everyone was curious about whether a species like a Dinosaur would be delicious.

Inside the live broadcast room.

Kata looked at the dense Bamboo Forest surrounding them and couldn't help but frown.

"Excellency An Ke, I'm afraid we won't be able to set up Camp for the next few days."

There was simply no space nearby for An Ke to place the Camp.

And it was quite unnecessary to chop down all the surrounding bamboo.

After all, they were only taking a brief rest and wouldn't be staying here long.

An Ke, however, didn't seem concerned. "Isn't that simple?"

"King Kong, clear out an open space!"

Upon hearing this, King Kong immediately perked up. "Mission accomplished! Mission accomplished!"

Ever since he gained his immense strength,

he couldn't suppress his desire to show off for even a second.

He had been waiting for An Ke to give him an order.

Now, the opportunity had finally arrived.

King Kong soared into the air.

Next, his claws grabbed onto one of the bamboo stalks.

As he exerted force with his wings, the bamboo was violently pulled out by sheer strength.

However, King Kong didn't pull it all out.

Because the root systems of bamboo are intricate.

The rhizomes, commonly known as Bamboo Whips, can sprout a bamboo shoot at every interval.

So, sometimes when you see a dense Bamboo Forest, it's very possible it's all part of a single organism.

This was also why An Ke didn't use the Portable Space.

Although the Portable Space could directly store plants,

it would store the entire plant as a whole.

If An Ke stored the bamboo, it would likely destroy the Camp inside the storage space.

To be more extreme, what if this entire Bamboo Forest was actually one single plant?

Putting that into the Portable Space would inevitably crush the Camp.
