Chapter 28

First update, everyone still add to your favorites, although the new book is not thick, but your favor is the motivation for me!

"YOU treacherous humans, you are all bad, bad, bad." After being bound by Kaka's spider silk, Xiao Hua easily lifted the big-beaked bird from the tree. When the big-beaked bird was brought to Cook, it kept shouting.

"Hmph, dare to call my beautiful white teeth buck teeth, Da Huai, what should we do with this black guy?" Xiao Hua roared, eager to try.

"Da Huai?" Cook's face turned green.

"You are our leader now, I am Xiao Hua, aren't you Da Huai?" Xiao Hua scratched his head in confusion and asked.

"Um, that makes sense, phew! What nonsense, I solemnly warn you, if you call me that again, I'll cut off your thing down there." Cook threatened with a bad temper.

"Down there?" Xiao Hua was still confused, but then he looked down and quickly closed his legs, looking at Cook with caution.

"Call me Boss in the future, but not Da Huai. Besides, do you see the word 'bad' in the name of a bad person?" Cook said afterward.

"Then how do I call Xiao Hua?" Xiao Hua was puzzled.

"Because you are not a person, no one would believe you are a bad person, right?" Cook asked with a smile.

"I believe, I believe, you two are in cahoots..." the big-beaked bird interjected.

"Hmph, try saying it again, this knife doesn't recognize people. Xiao Hua, should we roast this guy or make soup?" Cook held a shiny dagger and pressed it against the big-beaked bird's beak, teasingly asking Xiao Hua.

"Not much meat, only soup. Look at this black guy, what else does he have besides fur and a big mouth?" Xiao Hua, unaware of Cook's plan, looked around and answered.

"My meat is not tasty, not tasty. There's a big guy over there with tasty meat, don't eat me, I have no meat." The big-beaked bird struggled and shouted when it saw the two in cahoots really wanted to eat it.

"Hehe, I'm not afraid. Xiao Hua, I have a good suggestion. I know the best way to eat this guy is to slowly roast him but not to kill him. This guy will definitely be very thirsty. Then we put a bowl of various seasonings in front of him and slowly roast him for a few hours. Eventually, he will drink all the seasonings. Then we pluck his feathers. Imagine, his meat will be fragrant from the inside out." Cook said with a wicked smile.

"Great, great, but we should also smear honey on the outside and stuff mushrooms inside the belly?" Xiao Hua's mouth watered, nodding and making suggestions.

"Boss, Boss, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, don't kill me, I don't have a girlfriend yet! Ah! Ah! Ah!" The big-beaked bird's small eyes were full of fear, and it finally shouted loudly.

"Hmph, if you want to live, answer my questions honestly, or you'll be in trouble." Cook saw it was scared enough and said, of course, there was no sound to human ears.

"I agree, I agree, I'll tell you everything." The big-beaked bird nodded quickly, saying.

"What's going on, he's calling you Boss too, isn't that only for me, Xiao Hua?" Xiao Hua, puzzled, looked at Cook and the big-beaked bird, scratching his head in confusion.

"A wolf, are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Cook's face was serious. According to the big-beaked bird, there was a hunter on the cliff ahead, very agile, who had been there for several days. He was in a cave he dug behind a large rock on the cliff. Cook looked through the gaps in the dense forest. The view from the cliff was very good, clearly the outermost outpost of the Ceylon Empire's alert line. What made Cook most difficult was that the hunter had a wolf as a pet.

"Um, a big gray wolf, it's the worst, I almost got eaten by it." The big-beaked bird, seeing Cook's expression, was a bit confused but still confessed.

"Big gray wolf, Boss, are you planning a big fight? I said this black guy has little meat!" Xiao Hua's eyes lit up when he heard "big gray wolf."

"Um, there's a big gray wolf and a person ahead. I want to take the wolf for its meat, but the person won't agree." Cook said, his eyes turning.

"Um, I'm best at this. Boss, I strongly request a leg, at least half a leg, after we succeed." Xiao Hua then patted his chest and bargained.

"Your small body?" Cook clearly used a provocation tactic, but although Xiao Hua had intelligence, it was not yet as logical as a human.

"Hehe, I'll tell you, Boss, I used to tease all the big gray wolves in the forest. They can't climb trees, so they are easy to deal with." Xiao Hua said with a grin.

"Um, let's set a trap first. Kaka, help you. We'll kill the big gray wolf, and I'll give you a leg." Cook pondered for a moment, looked around, and had an idea.

Cook's first instinct was to go back and find Lori, but then he thought Lori wasn't as strong as he imagined, and at night, a mage's combat ability was almost zero.

"Boss, are you going to deal with the big gray wolf? I know there are two types of fruits nearby. Eating one type is fine, but eating both together makes you weak. Last time I ate two small halves and almost fell from the sky and died, if I hadn't landed on a tree." The big-beaked bird said when it heard about dealing with the big gray wolf.

"Um, that's a good idea, let's see the terrain first." Cook moved cautiously, using the bright moonlight to look at the terrain from a distance. There was no way, wolves have very sensitive noses.

"Kaka, weave a web here, try to make it as big as possible." Cook came to a downhill position, a steep slope of about two meters. He pointed to a spot below the slope and instructed Kaka, who obediently came down and quickly started weaving a web. In just a few seconds, the web was set up.

"Kaka, are you sure this will work?" Cook almost fell over when he saw it. The web was large, about two meters square, but only a few spider threads were on it.

"No, no, no!" Kaka made some progress and said two words at once.

"Alright, Xiao Hua, your task is simple, just attract the big gray wolf here. I'll hide below the slope. Of course, you need to hit the person with these fruits first. If the person eats them, that's best. Then you attract the big gray wolf here. As soon as the spider threads block it, I'll kill the person." Cook's plan was simple because a complex plan would be a dream to expect Xiao Hua to execute.

"Hmph, teasing others is my specialty, Boss, just wait." Xiao Hua was very excited, bouncing away in a few jumps. Cook sat calmly below the slope, not afraid of wolves. In his previous life as a security guard, his hometown had wolves and foxes, and he had killed many. Of course, he had powerful weapons then—firearms!

Pelin was a hunter and a first-level scout of the Ceylon Empire's Royal Guard. The first level was the lowest, but being a first-level scout in the Royal Guard was still considered talented, as the selection process was extremely strict. Pelin looked at his partner, a jungle giant wolf, a rare breed, three times the size of a regular jungle wolf, with jumping and attacking abilities far beyond ordinary. Its three-meter-long, nearly 1.5-meter-tall body was the best mount in the jungle. Pelin looked up at the starry sky, cursing in his heart: "How could there be people from the Roland Empire in this damn place? There are a bunch of mosquitoes, and after half a month, I haven't seen any creatures except a pesky bird, let alone people."

"Bang!" Just as Pelin was muttering, he suddenly felt a pain in his head and saw a chipmunk standing on a large rock, throwing some unknown wild fruit at him. The fruit had bite marks on it.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff!" Pelin picked up a small stone and threw it hard, but the chipmunk was very agile and hid as soon as Pelin raised his hand. After Pelin missed, the wild fruits rained down on him one after another.

"Hehe, beasts are beasts, they don't know I want to change my diet. I've been eating dry rations for half a month and don't want to eat them anymore." Pelin looked at the wild fruits thrown by the chipmunk, which had recent bite marks. He was very pleased to collect them. Although Pelin was a hunter, the Roland Empire was subtropical, while the Ceylon Empire was temperate. The basic method for a hunter to identify poisonous fruits was that poisonous fruits would not be eaten by animals, which was the simplest way. A chipmunk was clearly not a highly toxic animal, so if a chipmunk could eat it, a human could definitely eat it. Of course, Pelin was right, a single type of fruit was edible, but mixed together, it was a different story.

"Quack, quack, quack!" Maybe the fruits were finished, the chipmunk started throwing small stones. However, there were few small stones on the large rock that the chipmunk could move. Pelin looked at the small creature and chuckled softly.

"Damn human, eat up, eat yourself to death. I'll go deal with that big guy, you just keep eating." The chipmunk was Xiao Hua, who muttered softly, threw the last stone, and chattered away before slipping down the cliff.

"Um, a bit astringent, but better than nothing." Pelin bit into the fruit thrown by Xiao Hua, nodded, and said, completely unaware that a big-beaked bird was lying limp on the ground, one foot weakly waving.

"Really? It's that effective?" Cook looked at the big-beaked bird on the ground and couldn't help but say, because the bite marks on the fruits were from Cook's experiment with the big-beaked bird, but he didn't expect the effect to be so quick.
