“Uh–” Qin Yue burped in satisfaction, and his face could not help but reveal a sense of joy. In the memories of the citizens of the Federation, the word ‘gourmet’ was just an empty phrase, until now… This roast meat could be considered to have completely enriched the meaning of that word.

The tip of his tongue seemed to still be filled with the unique fragrance of the roast meat. It was so smooth, tender, and succulent. With a bite, the fat exploded, and mixed with the fresh and fragrant meat, the taste was simply so beautiful that one could not forget it…

Qin Yue narrowed his eyes in happiness, he felt that the entire world had been saved by a meal of roasted meat!

“Enough! The aftertaste is enough. Hurry up and help. We still haven’t found a place to stay tonight!”

Mo Yang patted Qin Yue’s shoulder fiercely and summoned him from the gourmet world. He looked sideways and saw that Mo Chu was bending down to pick up tree branches, preparing to build a simple version of a shed.

“Don’t!” Qin Yue immediately stood up and rushed up with a fawning look, swiftly snatching the dried branches out of Mo Chu’s hands. “These small things, leave them to me. Don’t hurt yourself!”

These were magical hands that could make gourmet food! How could she do such a small thing?

“Umm…” Faced with Qin Yue’s fawning look, Mo Chu could not help but nod in amusement. “Then I’ll go to the side to take a look.”

“No need!” Qin Yue shook his head righteously. “You should rest well. Leave such a small matter to us.”

Then, contrary to his previous tired state, he built the shed in high spirits.

Even though Qin Yue said so, Mo Chu was not idle either. He still helped to tidy up the shed.

Mo Yang was an expert in this area. Under his command, in less than half an hour, the simplified version of the shed was built.

“You guys go to sleep first.” Qin Yue lit a fire in front of them. The red light reflected his rough facial features, showing some warmth. “I’ll keep watch.”

The magical beast that they ate earlier was already a high-level tier 6. From this, it could be seen that the cultivation level of the magical beasts in this Magical Region should not be too low. Now that night had arrived, it was the best time for them to attack. Someone had to keep watch. If they all slept, they would probably be swallowed by the magical beasts without knowing anything!

“Let’s take turns.” Mo Chu thought for a moment and said softly, “There should still be nine hours before daybreak. We’ll each keep watch for three hours. We’ll probably wake up the other person when it’s about time.”

“There’s no need.” Mo Yang shook his head and looked at Mo Chu lovingly. “Qin Yue and I will keep watch alone. You should go and rest first.”

“Right.” Qin Yue could not help but agree. “You should rest well. Tomorrow, we will fight for another magical beast and have a good meal!”

Clearly, Qin Yue still had a lingering attachment to the barbecue from before.

“No!” Mo Chu frowned. Today, when they were walking towards the Magical Region, the two of them had sandwiched her in the middle. She was safe, but their minds were extremely tense. If they did not take this opportunity to rest well, they would probably be even more exhausted tomorrow!

“Alright, you guys go to sleep!” Mo Chu pushed the two of them into the shed, her tone resolute. “I’ll guard first today. When it’s about time, I’ll go wake Mo Yang up.”

“How can that work?” Qin Yue, this big guy, was buried underground like a heavy iron block. How could Mo Chu push him?

“You don’t want to eat meat tomorrow, right?”Mo Chu glared at him!

Hearing this, Qin Yue immediately felt as if his weak spot had been poked. He shivered, but he still hesitated and refused to leave.

“Fine! If the two of you continue to be in a stalemate like this, I’m afraid that the entire night will be wasted.” Mo Chu spread her hands. “Then what should we do tomorrow?”

Seeing the determination in Little Chu’s eyes, Mo Yang finally compromised. He sighed softly and went forward to rub the hair on Mo Chu’s head. “Alright, then pay attention to your safety. Call me when the time is right.”

“Okay.” Hearing this, Mo Chu revealed a smile.

After the two of them went in to rest, she sat in front of the bonfire. At this moment, the entire Magical Region seemed to have been pressed to pause. All of a sudden, it became quiet. Only the sound of shallow breathing could be heard behind her.

The night sky was bright and filled with stars. The cold wind that occasionally blew over was also dispersed by the heat of the bonfire.

Mo Chu blinked and raised her head, staring at the stars in the night sky in a daze. She only felt a sense of tranquility in her heart. Suddenly, there was a burst of noise from the side, which was particularly clear in the quiet night sky.

Mo Chu frowned and looked to the right.

“What are you doing? Are you going to steal my energy fluid?” Unlike the quiet and warm atmosphere on Mo Chu’s side, Qiao Hongmei’s camp was now a mess!

“What nonsense are you talking about?” The man who had asked for water from Mo Chu and the others raised his head, his face full of resentment and anger. “I have my own energy fluid! Why would I steal yours!?”

Since their stuff was confiscated, they could only place the energy fluid and the dagger close to their bodies. Just now, when everyone was in a daze, a scream rang out, waking all of them up!

“You didn’t steal it from me, why did you put your hand in my pocket?” another man yelled with red eyes.

Since they had been selected to participate in this training, it meant that some of them had a high chance of passing this training and eventually participating in the once-in-a-century Galactic Combat. This might be a good opportunity for them to make a name for themselves in the Federation! Who would want to miss this opportunity?

However, the most important thing right now was to survive this one month. As for the energy fluid… Naturally, the more the merrier. It was inevitable that some people would try to pull some tricks.

“Ha, stop quibbling!” The man covered his pocket tightly and sneered with disdain, “If you want this energy solution, then go hunt some demonic plants and demonic beasts yourself! If you don’t have the ability, then think of some unorthodox methods. To think that you can come up with something like that!”

“I told you, I didn’t steal it!” the man shouted angrily, but his eyes flashed with a trace of guilt. “You’re f*cking spouting nonsense again! Believe it or not, I’ll kill you!”

“Come on! Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Seeing that the dispute between the two was getting more and more intense, the people around them could no longer turn a blind eye to it. They quickly stopped one of them. “Alright, stop messing around. Go to sleep now. Do you still think that you’re not tired enough today?”

If the two continued to argue like this, they would not have time to sleep anymore. The situation would be even worse the next day!

The two men stared at each other for a while like they were fighting a chicken. They finally calmed down after being pulled to the side.

“Humph! It’s only the first day, and they’re already fighting amongst themselves?” The baby-faced soldier sneered, looking at the screen, he could not help but shake his head and sigh as he commented, “This year’s quality is even worse than before!”

If he allowed such a person to directly participate in the Galactic Combat, it would be a disgrace to the Federation!

“Don’t say that,” Guan Sheng interjected. He raised his head to the other screen. “I think these three little guys are pretty good!”

Qin Yue’s loyalty, Mo Yang’s calmness, and Mo Chu’s wisdom were all appreciated by the few of them, especially Mo Chu’s insistence on keeping watch at night.

One had to know that due to the Federation’s special treatment of women, many women had begun to take this behavior for granted. They had even gotten used to men’s thoughtfulness and devotion. A woman like Mo Chu was truly a rare existence!

“That’s true.” The baby-faced soldier nodded with an appreciative look on his face, “I finally understand why Marshal Ning chose Mo Chu. Look, her character is very different from that of an ordinary woman. She’s smart, decisive, and straightforward… She has so many merits!”

“That’s enough.” The serious soldier glared at him, his words tinged with a hint of a smile. “Marshal Ning isn’t here, so you don’t have to suck up so hard anymore.”

“Who’s sucking up?” The baby-faced soldier glared at him. “I’m telling the truth!”

“That’s enough.” Guan Sheng shook his head and changed the topic. “When do you plan to go in?”

“Don’t worry.” Hearing that, the baby-faced soldier smiled and rubbed his chin. His eyes were full of cunning. “At most, we’ll let them relax for another two days. That should be enough…”

…

With a creak, a section of the dead branch was burned off.

Mo Chu added some more dead wood into the fire. After a moment of dimness, the fire continued to burn brightly.

The later half of the night, the colder the wind became. Fortunately, there was still this fire, or else they would definitely catch a cold. Mo Chu rubbed her hands. Seeing that it was almost time, she turned around and walked into the shed.

Mo Yang and Qin Yue were sleeping soundly. They were indeed very tired during the day. As soon as they laid down, they quickly fell asleep.

“Brother, wake up.” Mo Chu half squatted down and gently shook Mo Yang’s shoulder.

Very soon, Mo Yang opened his eyes drowsily. He stretched out his hand to wipe his face and carefully stood up. “Alright, I’ll go out to watch the night. You Sleep well here for a while.”

Mo Yang’s hand pointed in another direction.

Mo Chu looked down and her heart could not help but feel warm.

The simple shelter was divided into two parts. One part was where they lay earlier. The two of them used their bodies to block the wind. The bottom was made of hard branches and only a few leaves were spread, the other side was much warmer. Apart from the branches and leaves, there was also a thick layer of coat on top. It looked really cozy.

“Alright, go to sleep. I’ll go out first.” Mo Yang gently patted Little Chu’s head and strode out.

Mo Chu felt very good and quickly fell asleep.

When she woke up, the sky was slightly dawn. The rising sun was rising in the east, dyeing the sunset red.

“You’re awake?” Qin Yue walked over in big strides, looking energetic.

“Yes.” Mo Chu smiled and nodded. She put some water into their energy fluid bottle. “You guys wash up first.”

“Sigh, no need, don’t waste it…” Qin Yue waved his hand carelessly. When he saw Mo Chu’s slightly darkened eyes, he finally swallowed the rest of his words.

“Don’t worry, I can still provide this little bit of water.” Mo Chu raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Sigh, alright.” Qin Yue also nodded and did not dare to say anything else. He could only sigh in his heart that this woman was really different. Back then, when the men in their team encountered a mission, it was very normal for them not to wash up for over ten days!

Unfortunately, their actions of washing up happened to fall into the eyes of Qiao Hongmei and the others who were leading the group.

Heh, they were instantly enraged! Look at how they begged yesterday. Mo Chu was not even willing to give them any water. Now, they were actually extravagant enough to use it to wash up?

After wiping her face that was covered in dust, the fury in Qiao Hongmei’s eyes burned even more fiercely!

“What? Didn’t you say yesterday that this water was very precious?” Qiao Hongmei deliberately raised her voice. “Why are you still using it to wash up now?”

Mind your own business! Mo Chu rolled her eyes and carefully wiped her face with the water in her hands. Instantly, she felt a lot more refreshed.

Seeing Mo Chu like this, Qiao Hongmei was even more furious! Her puffed-up chest trembled violently a few times, causing the man beside her to drool!

“We were about to die of thirst yesterday. You said it with conviction, but now, your actions are proof that you’re a hypocrite, right?”

Although Qiao Hongmei and the others had many people, they did not have a leader. They were even more unconvinced of each other. Not to mention building a shelter like Mo Chu and the others, they did not even start a fire. The first half of the night was not that cold yet, however, because of this theft, no one slept well. Later on, the cold wind blew and they could not fall asleep!

As a result, all of them had red eyes and looked haggard. When they were tired, they could easily burst out in anger! Qiao Hongmei provoked them with a few simple words, and the men behind them did not look right.

“What, are you going to make trouble?” Qin Yue strode forward with a cold light in his eyes.

“Ha! Cause trouble? How could I have the ability?” Qiao Hongmei snorted lightly, her eyes turning, “It’s already good enough if you don’t bully us!”

Hearing this, Mo Chu could not help but turn serious. Qiao Hongmei was not stupid. Qin Yue had clearly asked about her alone, but she had immediately roped in the group by using the word ‘us’.

“What, are you going to fight?”

As expected, after Qiao Hongmei said this, the expressions of most of the people behind her turned ugly. A man even strode out and stared at Qin Yue with an indignant expression. Looking at his red-eyed stance, he would probably start a fight if they did not get along!

After not seeing each other for a period of time, Qiao Hongmei had become much smarter.

Mo Chu stood at the back and saw the entire situation clearly. If the two groups of people really started a fight, they would not be able to win. After all, there were only three of them and they were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. They would definitely be at a disadvantage!

Seeing the smug look in Qiao Hongmei’s eyes, Mo Chu hurriedly took a step forward and pulled Qin Yue, and she stood in front of him. “Yesterday, when Mo Yang and I were chasing after the magical beasts, we saw a stream ahead. Do you guys want to go and take a look?”

Stream?

Hearing Mo Chu’s words, the people who were filled with anger immediately shifted their attention.

They had not drunk water for a whole day and their throats were fuming. At this moment, when they thought of the sweet stream water in the stream, they could not help but reveal a look of desire.

“Is what you said true?” Qiao Hongmei stared at Mo Chu suspiciously. She did not believe that she would be so kind as to reveal such an important piece of information to them.

“Whether it’s true or not, why don’t you go and take a look yourself?” Mo Chu glanced at Qiao Hongmei indifferently.

At that time, they were standing on a tall magical plant and could indeed vaguely see a small stream. However, it was quite far away. Moreover, there were Energy Bombs buried in the ground. They did not have any tools to store water, so there was no need to take such a risk.

However, when the others heard this, they could not help but be moved.

They looked at each other and then directly left Qiao Hongmei’s large group. “We’re going to find a water source, so we’ll leave first.”

As soon as they finished speaking, they walked toward the direction that Mo Chu was pointing at. Just yesterday night alone was enough for them to see clearly that with so many of them staying together, something would happen sooner or later. They might as well form small groups, perhaps it would be safer.

The departure of this group of people also brought along the others. However, in the blink of an eye, only a few people were left behind Qiao Hongmei.

“Why? Are you still planning to follow behind us?” Mo Yang glanced at them indifferently.

Qiao Hongmei bit her lip and endured the pressure as she followed behind Mo Chu and the others.

Looking at Mo Chu’s back, Qiao Hongmei’s eyes could not help but flicker. Half a year ago, she had never thought that the Qiao Family would fall into such a predicament, and all of this was because of a country bumpkin from District 12!

However, as long as they could unravel the mystery of Spirit Food, then all the problems would be solved! Qiao Hongmei clenched her fists firmly. Such a good opportunity was right in front of her eyes, she absolutely could not miss it!

In the next two days, Qin Yue acted like he was on steroids. Whenever he saw a magical beast, he would immediately pounce on it! Sometimes, he did not even need Mo Yang’s help to beat a magical beast back. Then, he would stare at Mo Chu with an infatuated look on his face.

These were all delicacies. Delicacies!

Mo Chu turned over the meat in her hands. She raised her head slightly and met Qin Yue’s greedy look. She could not help but sigh. The power of food was indeed powerful!

Even Mo Yang, who was standing at the side, could not help but hold his forehead. Qin Yue’s expression was simply impossible to look at!

Qiao Hongmei and the others behind him were also extremely busy at this moment.

After expending a lot of effort, they finally managed to defeat a magical beast. It was the same type of magical beast as Mo Chu and the others.

“Do you really know how to do it?” A man was nervously staring at Qiao Hongmei.

“What’s the big deal?” Qiao Hongmei gripped the dagger in her hand tightly, her gaze firm. “I’ve Memorized Mo Chu’s every move just now. There won’t be any problems.”

As she spoke, she slashed with the dagger, she slashed the entire magical beast open. The position and strength of the slash were almost exactly the same as Mo Chu’s.

She then sliced open the meat, strung it up, and placed it on the bonfire.

After he was done with this series of actions, Qiao Hongmei could not help but let out a soft sigh. She rubbed her taut wrist. Finally, it was about time.

Unfortunately, she was happy too early. This barbecued meat was a skill. If the fire was not properly controlled, the barbecued meat would not be able to turn into a delicacy.

Thus, the few of them happily placed the skewer on the fire. Then, the bright red flames licked it. In the blink of an eye, the skewer of meat was completely charred. The fat dripped down and the fire became even more intense, then, the skewers became even more charred!

“Ah–” Seeing this, Qiao Hongmei could not help but exclaim, and her expression changed! She hurriedly went forward to put the skewers down. However, she did not expect them to be so flustered. They pushed and pushed, and almost threw the skewers into the fire!

After a long while, the skewers were barely cooked, but they were also thoroughly charred. Not to mention the fragrance, just looking at them made one lose their appetite!

“Umm… Is this even edible?” As he held the meat skewer in his hand, the man could not help but look a little worried. This thing was poisonous. What if something happened to them after eating it? What would they do?
