The two looked at each other, both somewhat curious.

This world seems quite different from the orc world.

The little gray cat was still diligently helping to groom, while the giant wolf transformed back into a little white wolf, wagging its tail in front of the little gray cat, tilting its head, and staring intently with unblinking eyes.

After staring for a while, the little white wolf suddenly turned its head to look in a certain direction and shouted a warning, "Woof!"

The others noticed as well. "It seems the Cloud Scorpion is back. Everyone, prepare for battle."

Wu Jiong: "Me too."

Everyone made room for him and said with determination, "Don't worry, we will protect the guide together and ensure he doesn't suffer any harm."

Wu Jiong: "Hmm."

As they spoke, the sound of flapping wings came from ahead.

Jian Mo, who was directing the little gray cat to groom its tentacles, looked up again.

And just like that, he saw a swarm of insects as big as helicopters, six or seven of them flying toward them. Some of them had black, venomous stingers on their tails, which looked terrifying.

Jian Mo got goosebumps all over, couldn't help but rub her arms, and shouted to Wu Jiong, "Be careful!"

Wu Jiong turned around and made a gesture to reassure Jian Mo that everything was alright.

Just as the two were exchanging words, various kinds of light burst forth from the others, and then various Spirit Body transformed into giant beasts, rushing towards the swarm of flying Cloud Scorpion.

The little white wolf, transformed into a giant wolf, followed at the very back, neither advancing rashly nor launching an attack.

It watched for a while, and once it understood how the other Spirit Body dealt with the Cloud Scorpion, it leaped forward. Relying on its agile movements and seasoned hunting experience, it directly avoided the Cloud Scorpion's mouths and stingers, and bit one of them from the Cloud Scorpion.

With a snap, the giant wolf killed a Cloud Scorpion.

The other Cloud Scorpion were preoccupied with other Spirit Body beasts and had no energy to pay attention to this side.

However, upon witnessing the death of their companions, these insects emitted sharp chirps, appearing extremely enraged.

Fortunately, the others were reliable enough to hold off the Cloud Scorpion and prevent it from attacking the giant wolf.

Wu Jiong's gaze was calm as he directed the giant wolf to seize the opportunity, aiming at a Cloud Scorpion on the side. It then leaped up, pounced, and snapped it to death with a snap.

The giant wolf bit two Cloud Scorpion in succession, and everyone knew its fighting power, so they quickly cooperated from the sidelines.

I don't know if it was because everyone was in good spirits, or if the giant wolf was just that fierce.

Soon, the entire group of Cloud Scorpion were swarmed down.

Everyone asked Wu Jiong to rest, and then took a dagger to cut open Cloud Scorpion's chest and take out two pieces of crystal-clear breast meat.

Each Cloud Scorpion has these two pleural lobes, which look like lychee flesh when removed, and are very beautiful.

They consulted Wu Jiong and Jian Mo: "The breast meat of the Cloud Scorpion is hard to store, why don't we just roast it and eat it? It's also good for the Spirit Body to eat, so let's nourish the Spirit Body."

Wu Jiong: "Either is fine, just do it according to your habits."

Everyone readily agreed and scattered to get to work.

Soon someone picked large leaves, marinated the Cloud Scorpion's breast meat, placed it on the large leaves, wrapped the leaves tightly, covered it with a layer of mud, and then roasted it over a fire.

Jian Mo looked at the beggar's chicken-like cooking method and couldn't help but take a second look.

The little gray cat has already calmed down the giant octopus monster enough, so there's no need to rush.

This group of people clearly has extensive experience in wilderness survival.

Jian Mo could tell from just a few movements that the grilled breast meat they made would be delicious.

Sure enough, before long, a complex aroma wafted from the fire.

The aroma is somewhat like meat, somewhat like seafood, and has a very subtle fruity note; it smells wonderful.

Jian Mo felt a deep-seated hunger, and even when she asked the little gray cat to soothe the giant octopus monster, she was a little distracted.

Everyone diligently turned over the mud bales, pulling them out one by one, and after a short while, they said, "Alright, we can eat now."

After everyone had exchanged names, someone personally unpacked the mud package, placed the translucent, lobster-like Cloud Scorpion breast meat on clean, fresh leaves, and gave two pieces each to Jian Mo and Wu Jiong.

The person who delivered the breast meat said, "The breast meat of the Cloud Scorpion is very special; even Spirit Body can eat it. Thank you for your hard work just now."

Jian Mo: "No need to be polite. I'll have my Spirit Body come over first, eat something, rest, and recover my strength before I help your companions."

Everyone quickly replied, "Of course."

So everyone sat down to eat.

The little gray cat and the little white wolf each received a piece of breast meat. Their round eyes were full of curiosity as they lowered their heads to sniff the meat and then tried to eat it.

When the little gray cat took its first bite, Jian Mo felt a warm sensation in her soul, somewhat similar to the satisfaction brought on by hormonal changes after eating sweets.

This feeling is amazing, and quite intense.

Although the little gray cat is Jian Mo's Spirit Body, it clearly exhibits emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

After taking its first bite, it jumped up, slammed its front paws on the ground, and then began to slurp and munch.

Jian Mo looked at the little white wolf beside her, who was eating even more enthusiastically and was now wolfing down its food.

Fortunately, the Cloud Scorpion's chest flesh had no thorns, otherwise Jian Mo would have had to perform thorn removal surgery on the little white wolf after counseling the giant octopus monster.

Wu Jiong sat down next to Jian Mo, watching him look around, then tore off a piece of breast meat and held it to his mouth. "Try it, it's delicious."

Jian Mo opened her mouth and took a bite. Instantly, an indescribable taste spread throughout Jian Mo's mouth.

It was an exquisite freshness, like rising mist that enveloped him entirely.

For the first time, he realized that deliciousness could be so overwhelmingly delicious. It was as if his appetite was boiling, making his heart itch, and before he had even swallowed one bite, he wanted to eat another.
