Chapter 33 A Dangerous Delicacy

It must be said that Po Tian Ying was quite skilled. It flew above the herd of horses, flapped its wings, and the thirty-six chestnut horses obediently followed behind it under its guidance.

When the horses reached the hillside, they stopped and refused to move forward no matter how much they were urged, their eyes filled with fear.

Cheng Xiaofan frowned.

"Po Tian Ying, fly around Bai Mang Lake and declare your dominion over this territory!"

Cheng Xiaofan said with a stern face, "Anyone who disobeys, kill without mercy!"

"Jeeeee--"

Po Tian Ying let out a piercing shriek that split the clouds and rocks, soaring into the sky and circling along the lake shore.

Everywhere it circled, it let out a long cry.

Truly the overlord of the sky, the king of beasts on the ground.

All sorts of wild beasts hiding at the foot of the hills along the lake or in the woods and grass, upon hearing Po Tian Ying's shriek, were terrified and scurried out in panic, fleeing over the mountains.

Seeing that the dangers around the lake had been cleared, the more than thirty chestnut horses, flicking their tails, happily galloped towards the lake.

"Amazing, my Po Tian Ying!"

"Po Tian Ying is truly awesome!"

"Streamer, I don't think this is a proper solution. What if the wild beasts return after you leave?"

"Yeah, I've also considered this problem!"

"Can there be a foolproof solution?"

"God, you are my idol. In this world, you are the one I trust the most. I believe you definitely have a way!"

Facing the barrage of comments from the viewers, Cheng Xiaofan smiled calmly and said, "Thank you all for your concern for these horses!"

"Don't worry, after Po Tian Ying establishes its dominance here, the wild beasts from the primeval forest will not dare to cross this line for at least four or five years."

"Anyone who dares to trespass on this territory, Po Tian Ying can track them by scent and swiftly find and kill them!"

"Alright, today's stream is over. See you next time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, comments immediately flooded the live chat.

"No, it's already noon. What is the streamer having for lunch? Can you share it with us!"

"Yeah, even if we can't taste your delicious food, it's good to feast our eyes!"

"This is a good suggestion, streamer, don't break my heart!"

"Sweetie, please grant the fans' request. Only by pampering your fans will they love you!"

Cheng Xiaofan couldn't bear to refuse his fans' requests.

With no other choice, he nodded.

"For lunch today, I'll take you to see how mountain folk eat climbing tree turtles!"

As Cheng Xiaofan spoke, he got up and left the lakeshore, heading towards a densely wooded area.

As he walked, he explained to the fans what a climbing tree turtle was: "As the name suggests, a climbing tree turtle is a mountain turtle that likes to climb trees to catch insects to eat."

"This type of climbing tree turtle is rarely seen elsewhere, but we have quite a few here."

"Climbing tree turtles generally rest on trees during the day and only hide in the crevices of rocks in mountain streams at night."

"To get this mountain turtle during the day, you have to search in the woods near the mountain streams!"

In fact, Cheng Xiaofan had already spotted a mountain stream. As he entered the woods, he casually cut a long tree branch and stripped off the twigs.

While using the branch to sweep through the grass, he also scanned the trees beside him with his eyes.

"There are often venomous snakes hidden in the grass by this mountain stream, so when searching for climbing tree turtles, don't forget the dangers under your feet."

Along the way, he picked out several venomous snakes from the grass.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death! Where did so many venomous snakes come from!"

"It seems that eating a climbing tree turtle is quite dangerous!"

"Streamer, why don't we eat something else!"

"Yeah, let's eat something else. Eating such dangerous delicacies, I'm really sweating for you!"

Seeing the comments on the live chat, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "For me, a few venomous snakes are nothing dangerous. The real danger is eating the climbing tree turtle itself."

"Climbing tree turtle meat is fine and tender, very fresh and fragrant. However, most mountain people rarely eat it because it's too dangerous. If not prepared properly, one might lose their life."

Instantly, many comments flooded the live chat again.

"Ah, streamer, are climbing tree turtles poisonous like pufferfish?"

"Streamer, hearing you say that, I'm really terrified for you. Please stop, don't eat this kind of thing anymore!"

"Delicious food is precious, but life is even more so!"

"God, I swear to you, I will never urge you to stream about delicacies again!"

"God, I agree with the person above!"

Cheng Xiaofan could feel the genuine concern of the netizens from the comments, which also warmed his heart.

As a descendant of Shennong, how could he not handle a few venomous snakes!

With his sense of smell alone, he could detect several hidden snakes from tens of meters away.

It was just that Cheng Xiaofan didn't want to reveal his abilities right under people's noses, so he deliberately used a tree branch to poke around in the grass.

"Thank you all for your concern. I'm really fine!"

He said with a smile, "I grew up in the mountains, and among the children, I was the most mischievous. I've done countless things like climbing trees to get bird eggs, going into rivers to catch fish, and secretly catching climbing tree turtles without my parents knowing."

"Woof woof!"

Just then, Tao Qi Bao arrived.

After hearing his master's words, he immediately protested loudly. Like master, like dog. And what was that saying again?

Right, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked!

So, I, Tao Qi Bao, am influenced by you!

"Get lost!"

Cheng Xiaofan immediately froze as he read the meaning from Tao Qi Bao's contemptuous gaze.

This darn dog is looking down on me!

"Woof woof!"

Unexpectedly, this time Tao Qi Bao didn't leave but instead leaped into the air and flew over Cheng Xiaofan's head.

"Are you trying to rebel!"

Cheng Xiaofan roared after him, then was instantly stunned.

He saw Tao Qi Bao crouched on a treetop, a climbing tree turtle in its mouth.

The climbing tree turtle was as large as a washbasin.

It was estimated to weigh at least fourteen or fifteen pounds.

Normally, climbing tree turtles don't weigh more than five or six pounds at most. It was unexpected to find such a large one.

A characteristic of climbing tree turtles is that the larger they are, the more tender and delicious their meat is, and it is also a great tonic.

With a "thud," Tao Qi Bao leaped down from the tree and presented the climbing tree turtle to Cheng Xiaofan as if it were a treasure.

Cheng Xiaofan took the climbing tree turtle, waved it in front of the camera a few times, and said, "Hello everyone, this is a climbing tree turtle. It differs from ordinary mountain turtles in that its shell looks like an inverted bowl."

"This climbing tree turtle is too big, its shell is like an inverted washbasin."

"A netizen just asked if climbing tree turtles are poisonous like pufferfish?"

"Yes, they are indeed poisonous. However, the difference is that pufferfish poison is usually in their internal organs, while climbing tree turtles are poisonous throughout their bodies!"
