G's Keen eyes caught sight of several
Footprints of varying depths near a
different water flow they appeared to
belong to some large animal that had
come to drink and subsequently crossed
the stream Chong xingang followed gian's
gaze and noticed the tracks as well
judging by the direction of the
footprints they seem to have headed west
we should hurry back he suggested giangi
withdrew her gaze and turned towards the
Eastern direction of their Refuge as
they passed the pond giangi spotted the
enormous Turtle once more peing at them
however upon making eye contact with
Chong xingang it swiftly vanished
entirely unlike a creature known for its
sluggishness Gian G thought little of it
after all it was a spirit turtle and it
was not surprising that it moved faster
than an ordinary Turtle the two
continued their descent exploring along
the way when they stumbled upon a small
Bush adorned with vibrant red and green
fruits Gian crouched down to scan it and
discovered that the fruits belonged to a
plant known as bitter spicy fruit when
unripe in green they were purely bitter
while the ripe red ones were entirely
spicy now they had a delightful array of
edible fruits sour Sweet Bitter and
spicy perfect for culinary Endeavors
Gian G plucked a few of each and added
them to the basket she picked up a green
bitter spicy fruit washed it by the
stream and handed it to Chang xingang
it's very sweet give it a try Chun
xingang accepted the fruit and popped it
into his mouth hole after chewing for a
few seconds he attempted to maintain a
stoic expression but the bitter flavor
contorted his features he quickly dashed
to the stream to rinse his mouth Gian
doubled over in laughter it's not
poisonous a good remedy is often bitter
consider it a way to cool you down once
gian's laughter subsided she grabbed a
bucket and hurried up stream to fill it
with two buckets of water I certainly
don't want everyone drinking your
mouthwash each of them carried two
buckets of water as they returned to
their Refuge Chun xingang wasted no time
and began boiling water to prepare the
Sonic chicken Gio looked on in disbelief
at the size of the wild chicken her jaw
nearly dropping Doo all the animals on
this island grow so large that enormous
grass fish from this morning was
astonishing and now there's such a
gigantic chicken noticing Chun xingang
silence G will approach Gian G to chat
Gian recounted their days hunting
escapades and the Summits conditions
including the amusing incident of
tricking Chung xingang into tasting the
bitter spicy fruit Gil burst into
laughter earning a puzzled glance from
Chong xingang what on Earth are those
two women laughing about this is beyond
embarrassing but that spider was truly
massive and the fruit was exceptionally
bitter I simply couldn't hold it in no
she couldn't let them see her
embarrassment she must maintain her
composure Chun shingun s by the iron pot
his mind racing as he prepared to
process the Sonic chicken once the water
boiled he deafly plucked the bird's
beautiful feathers skillfully
eviscerated it and cut the chicken into
manageable Pieces Just as Gian G was
enjoying her sweet sour fruit she
suddenly shivered why was it so chilly
surely it wasn't about to get cold again
turning around she saw Chun xingang
holding the basket in one hand and a
dagger in the other having completed his
task tonight's dinner was once again to
be be prepared by GLE it wasn't that
they were unwilling to assist but rather
that Chang xingang was a culinary
Butcher and Gian G was the inventor of
dark Cuisine although Gian G could
manage some simple dishes the memory of
her previous culinary disaster deterred
giu from taking any risks the entire
Sonic chicken was far too large for the
three of them to consume so they
ultimately prepared only a quarter of it
