At that moment, Ink Plum Like Painting appeared as well.

She sent a rocket gift and left a message: "Congratulations, streamer, on getting a new companion."

"Xiao Qing is following you now, so make sure you treat it well."

"Haha, Ink Plum Like Painting actually showed up."

"Rich lady, I'm hungry."

"Bro above, stop dreaming. If you want Ink Plum Like Painting to notice you, you first need the streamer's looks."

"Ink Plum Like Painting, look at me. I'm way more handsome than the streamer."

Lin Xuan glanced at the livestream room and saw that Ink Plum Like Painting had sent him a rocket gift, so he thanked her.

"Streamer, don't mention it. This is a gift for Xiao Qing. Since it's following you, you have to treat it better."

"Haha, even if you hadn't said so, I would treat Xiao Qing well. Since it decided to stay by my side, it's family."

"Wow, I never expected the streamer to say that."

"Family? Streamer, I want to be your family too."

"Bro above, if you want to be the streamer's family, you can reincarnate right away, become a cute animal, and then keep him company."

"Haha, I'm dying."

Ink Plum Like Painting: "Streamer, I see you haven't signed a contract with the platform yet. Have you considered it?"

Seeing her comment, Lin Xuan was slightly stunned. Could Ink Plum Like Painting be someone from this platform?

After thinking it over, he answered seriously, "To be honest, I don't have any plans to sign with a platform for now."

"After all, as you know, I started this livestream to show everyone my daily work as a forest ranger, share the animals in the jungle, and encourage everyone to protect animals, love small animals, and not abandon them so easily."

Ink Plum Like Painting: "I see. But if you ever want to sign with this platform, please let me know in advance."

Ink Plum Like Painting did not say anything more.

However, Lin Xuan felt that even if Ink Plum Like Painting was not affiliated with the platform, she must have strong connections to it.

Thinking this, he smiled. "Then I'll thank you in advance."

"Alright, everyone. I won't be answering your questions for the time being, because we've reached our destination."

After saying that, Lin Xuan switched the camera to the drone's view. Through the drone, the viewers spotted at least five or six wild rabbits in the flat grassland.

"Streamer, I see them! One, two... six! There are exactly six wild rabbits!"

"Wow, I see them too. Even the smallest of these six rabbits probably weighs around two pounds, right?"

"A two-pound rabbit, if you grill it, would cost at least seventy or eighty yuan each!"

"Yeah, seeing wild rabbits reminds me of the grilled rabbit I had last time. It was really delicious."

"Xiao Qing, stay here and wait for me. We'll be eating soon."

Upon hearing Lin Xuan, the White-lipped Bamboo Viper slithered to the side. It climbed onto a rock, raised its upper body upright, and stared ahead. When it noticed movement in the grass, its glossy black eyes immediately lit up.

Holding a wooden stick, Lin Xuan slowly approached step by step, trying not to make too much noise.

Very soon, he spotted a wild rabbit about five meters ahead.

He gripped the stick firmly and waited for the right moment. The instant the wild rabbit leaped up, he hurled the stick in his hand straight at it.

Then, with a bang, Lin Xuan hurried over.

"Did that hit?"

"The streamer is amazing! A hit every time!"

"With luck like that, it would be a shame if the streamer didn't buy lottery tickets."

"Yeah, he might even become a millionaire."

Lin Xuan reached the rabbit and saw one lying on the ground, its gray fur flecked with yellow, its back an earthy brownish-yellow with irregular black spots along its spine.

He lifted the rabbit by its ears and gauged its weight. This wild rabbit weighed close to three pounds.

A three-pound wild rabbit meant they were in for a treat tonight.

"Streamer, how much does that rabbit weigh?"

"Looks like around three pounds, right?"

"If it really weighs that much, then the streamer and Xiao Qing are in for a good meal tonight."

Lin Xuan held the rabbit's hind legs with one hand and gripped its head with the other. Then he twisted sharply, snapping the wild rabbit's neck.

"This wild rabbit weighs around three pounds. We can finally have some meat tonight."

Only after finishing did Lin Xuan answer them.

"Oh, looks like I guessed right. It really is around three pounds."

"What was the streamer doing just now?"

"I was worried that the rabbit wasn't dead, so I quickly snapped its neck. That way, it was truly dead."

"After all, if it wasn't dead and it suddenly came back to life while I was skinning it later, that would be bad."

"Haha, I've never seen a rabbit come back to life."

"Bro above, has your family never killed a chicken for New Year?"

"I remember visiting an uncle's house before. When they killed a chicken, they didn't cut its throat deeply enough, so it didn't die."

"When they scalded it with hot water, the chicken actually jumped out of the bucket and ran away."

"Haha, that can happen? What happened after that?"

"They killed the chicken again, and then it ended up on the table."

"Wild rabbits are pretty much the same."

"Wild rabbits jump too quickly. If it wasn't dead, and this is the jungle, it would be hard to chase down if it ran away."

"This viewer is right. If you catch a rabbit outdoors, you can deal with it quickly the way I did. Also, if you're camping in the wilderness and need to handle living animals, try not to kill them near your campsite."

"Otherwise, the smell of blood can easily attract other predators. That would be dangerous."

Lin Xuan explained while reminding the viewers.

"Thanks for the lesson, streamer. I understand now."

"I understand too. Next time I go camping, I'll camp somewhere with more people. That way, if any wild animals show up, there'll be someone to help."

"That's right. If everyone is traveling or camping outdoors, it's best not to go alone. Having a few friends makes things much more convenient."

Holding the wild rabbit, Lin Xuan left the grassland.

He returned to the White-lipped Bamboo Viper, waved the rabbit in front of it, and smiled. "Xiao Qing, we can eat wild rabbit meat tonight."

"Hiss, hiss~"

Xiao Qing flicked its tongue, seeming happy as well.

"Let's find a place with a stream, then skin the rabbit. Once it's skinned, we can take it back."

With that, one man, one snake, and one dead rabbit set off together to find a place with running water.
