The group ravenously devoured their meal, and soon the skeletons of the pig-rabbits were all that remained.
Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei had long since abandoned any pretense of decorum. Their sole thought was:
"Eat quickly, the meat is almost gone!"
Jiang Fan and Yao were already restraining their appetites, ensuring the girls ate more, yet the meat continued to dwindle.
"If only we'd looked around for more pig-rabbit nests!"
Dai Xiaomei was filled with regret. She never dreamed the meat of these pig-rabbits would be such a rare delicacy.
"If only we'd roasted more earlier."
Zhou Niannian's eyes also turned a predatory green, fixated on the remaining pig-rabbits in the pen.
If a passerby had seen their gazes, they would have thought they'd encountered ravenous wolves.
Jiang Fan smiled helplessly at their expressions and gestured for Yao to reduce the fire by half.
Compared to women, men were more capable of controlling their appetites when faced with the temptation of delicious food.
Dai Xiaomei and Zhou Niannian were already contemplating eating like this three times a day, with a major feast every five days.
If they continued at this pace, not only would the pig-rabbits here fail to reproduce, but the entire species might be eaten to extinction by them.
After reducing the campfire by half, the remaining flames were just enough to finish off the last pig-rabbit.
The group continued their feast, while the viewers in the livestream room were already on the verge of drooling.
"I can't take it anymore. Do these people consider our feelings?"
"Exactly! The well-fed don't know the hunger of the starving."
"Are pig-rabbits that delicious? Is this a food broadcast performance?"
"If it's a performance, their acting is too good. Even if they were eating mud, I'd want to try it."
"Ordering delivery, ordering delivery, to calm my restless heart."
In an instant, various delivery orders flooded all the delivery platforms.
All products related to rabbits were swept clean from every store.
Just days after major delivery platforms were overwhelmed by Jiang Fan, they had now added numerous servers and were on high alert.
The platform capitalists prepared to seize the opportunity for a massive profit, extracting wool from the common folk.
An unexpected turn of events occurred. Orders poured in like a flood, yet there were very few delivery drivers accepting them.
A large number of empty orders floated around, ignored by all.
The grand scene from a few days ago had vanished, leaving the platform operators frantic.
But the delivery drivers were all watching Jiang Fan's livestream and had no time to accept orders.
"It's okay to not make money for a day. Appreciating delicious food and beautiful women is more important."
"Right, watching this, my stomach is growling too."
"Let's fill our stomachs first, then continue watching Jiang Shen's livestream."
"Heh heh, eating before watching the livestream is better than watching it on an empty stomach."
"Why order delivery? Do it yourself, and you'll have plenty to eat."
The delivery drivers' group chat was filled with such self-reliant sentiments.
Pitiful male viewers, with empty stomachs, waited at home, almost kneeling to lick their screens.
Jiang Fan and the others continued their feast, devouring everything in sight. Both pig-rabbits were reduced to skeletons.
Dai Xiaomei's eyes glowed green. If not for the livestream, she would have undoubtedly gnawed on the bones themselves.
After a moment's thought, Dai Xiaomei suddenly picked up a skeleton and walked towards the nearby bushes.
Zhou Niannian blinked in surprise and asked,
"Where are you going?"
"Idiot, for a bathroom break, of course!"
Dai Xiaomei replied indignantly.
Zhou Niannian thought, "That's not right. Shouldn't you bring toilet paper for that? Or at least pick some leaves.
Why are you bringing such a large skeleton? Are you planning to wipe with it..."
She knew it was for wiping, not for insertion, and the skeleton wasn't a chrysanthemum for tea.
Dai Xiaomei, of course, intended to find a place to secretly gnaw clean the skeleton.
She stood up and walked towards the bushes, ready to begin.
From within the bushes, there was a rustling sound.
Startled, she took a few steps back, clutching the skeleton, and hurried back.
Jiang Fan and Yao also heard it. Their hearing was much sharper than Dai Xiaomei's.
Jiang Fan first stoked the campfire. Most venomous snakes and fierce beasts feared fire, and would not dare approach a place with flames.
After a while, the beast not only didn't leave, but it drew closer.
Even from a distance, Jiang Fan could hear the beast's breathing and footsteps.
Judging by the sound, it was a large animal.
It was already nearing the bushes!
Dai Xiaomei, terrified, retreated, put down the skeleton, and trembled as she picked up a glowing branch.
Zhou Niannian, mimicking her, grabbed a metal fork for defense.
Jiang Fan drew his protective knife, broke off a piece of pig-rabbit bone, and threw it into the bushes.
A large animal wasn't necessarily a fierce beast. If it were an herbivore, it wouldn't touch this bone.
However, after the bone was thrown, Jiang Fan immediately heard smacking sounds.
This creature not only ate the meat but ate it with great relish.
Zhou Niannian's face turned pale.
"Tiger, lion, dinosaur?"
Jiang Fan initially wanted to laugh, thinking of a dinosaur. Her imagination was truly rich.
Then, Jiang Fan became serious.
This wilderness was vastly different from the ordinary world. Even self-tracking spheres and an endless golden sea had appeared.
Under such circumstances, it wasn't impossible for a dinosaur to suddenly appear.
The monster seemed to have finished gnawing the bone, and then kicked it back towards Jiang Fan and the others.
Jiang Fan's gaze swept over it. The bone bore deep teeth marks and claw marks.
This monster's bite force was extraordinary, no less than that of a crocodile.
Its arm strength was also considerable, capable of leaving claw marks on hard stone, no less than that of a gorilla.
Jiang Fan, as if facing a great enemy, took out his small knife and assumed a fighting stance, ready to counter at any moment.
On the other side, Yao also tensed up, his muscles taut.
"Wild... wild beast..."
He also adopted a fighting stance.
In the livestream room, the audience, whose stomachs were rumbling with hunger, also grew tense.
"Heh heh, we finally get to see Jiang Shen in action."
"What kind of terrifying thing could make both Jiang Shen and the wolf-child so wary?"
"Tiger? Python? Dinosaur? Godzilla."
"Godzilla vs. Jiang Shen?"
"I know! It's the pig-rabbits. They ate the pig-rabbits, and the King of Pig-Rabbits has come for revenge."
"This King of Pig-Rabbits must be at least five meters tall, with a tail over thirty meters long."
"Is that a pig-rabbit, or a tadpole with a big head!"
"Jiang Shen, hold on! Don't die young."
Despite the dire situation, they hadn't seen any monster, and they weren't on the scene.
No matter how critical it seemed, they were still making jokes.
The footsteps and beastly breaths grew closer, and the bushes in front of Jiang Fan and the others were slowly being pushed aside.
Jiang Fan was ready. No matter what animal it was, he would first use [Beast Intimidation] to subdue it.
Even tigers and lions would be more wary.
He only needed to seize the opportunity, quickly close in, and stab directly at its vital spot with his knife.
"You attract its attention, I'll go take care of it."
Jiang Fan whispered to Yao.
Yao nodded, lowered his body, and held the knife in his mouth.
Just then, the bushes were fully parted, and the beast fully revealed itself.
Jiang Fan roared, unleashing his full [Beast Intimidation], and lunged at the monster.
The beast was startled and froze.
Jiang Fan was also stunned.
This... completely black and white, with dark eye sockets, dark ears, a white round face, and a plump body.
This, wasn't this a panda?
