My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 695 - 234 Animal Potpourri_2

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? We came out together, so of course we should act together." Mo Feng scratched his head, walked over to Du Xixi’s side, and leaned clumsily against a large tree, nearly losing his balance. Despite that, he continued speaking warmly to Du Xixi, "And where isn’t a place to go? Don’t treat us as outsiders, sister-in-law. It’s just as well that we check out what the Iron-eating Beasts really want to do."

"Hahaha! Exactly, exactly!" Chen Dan was now quite familiar with Mo Feng, perhaps because they once took care of Ke Lian and the others together. The two had become good brothers who shared everything with each other.

Chen Dan agreed with Mo Feng and helped him up from the ground, where he had comically fallen: "The Iron-eating Beasts in this world seem different from the ones in our interstellar space. It’s a good chance to broaden our horizons."

With these two leading, the others had no objections. Hearing this, they all chimed in:

"The Iron-eating Beasts of the Iron-eating Beast Empire are social animals, but those two Iron-eating Beasts we saw earlier seemed solitary. Their fur was dirty, maybe they fought over territory."

"Do Iron-eating Beasts eat meat or plants? I remember when the Iron-eating Beast visited our Military Department, it seemed to especially enjoy the steamed bamboo shoots from the third cafeteria!"

"Hiss... the Iron-eating Beast is quite tough! Are the steamed bamboo shoots from the third cafeteria edible for humans? I only ate them once, and felt uncomfortable the whole night after returning to my dorm!"

"The Iron-eating Beast, of course, is an Iron-eating Beast, maybe their digestive system is different from humans?"

"So what do Iron-eating Beasts really eat?"

"Iron-eating Beasts, eat iron!"

"..."

Originally, Du Xixi felt quite uneasy, thinking that it was too much to ask everyone to accompany her. But after hearing these strange and amusing conversations, she couldn’t help but be amused and started to let her imagination wander as well.

Speaking of which, Iron-eating Beasts seem to be omnivores. The ones on Blue Star eat both meat and vegetables but usually prefer bamboo shoots and similar, which is why many people assume they are herbivorous.

However... Du Xixi had never seen the Iron-eating Beasts on Blue Star eat iron, but in the Star Era, they are "famous" across All-Star for eating iron. Could the time-space differences between Blue Star and the Star Era also change the dietary preferences of the Iron-eating Beasts?

The scene had become quite lively, but Ke Lian didn’t want to restrict everyone too much in this unfamiliar world. Sometimes, after being restrained for so long, there’s a need for some way to release emotions.

He walked over to Du Xixi’s side. By now, the group had unconsciously shifted their positions, and when they looked up, they were in the direction the two Iron-eating Beasts had left: "Xixi, don’t stray too far from 2569. If there’s any danger, find a way to return to the cave with 2569, and we’ll find a way to get out of trouble ourselves."

Du Xixi did not stubbornly argue about her strength but seriously nodded in agreement. Although she was quite capable, frankly speaking, her level of coordination with Ke Lian and the others would significantly reduce her effectiveness by at least half!

Facing formidable enemies, what the team needs most is teamwork and coordination. Coming from the Military Department, even if they hadn’t had much interaction before, they had spent a considerable amount of time together and were very in tune with each other, ensuring no one would hold back the group.

But Du Xixi only knew Mo Feng and Ke Lian well among this group. To have a tacit collaboration with everyone was wishful thinking, and she might become a burden, dragging everyone down when it was time to really cooperate.

Since they had chosen a path whose dangers were known, Du Xixi and 2569 didn’t walk at the very end but stayed in the rear of the group. Mo Feng and another strong officer covered the rear, which would make it easier to support Du Xixi and 2569 if they needed to leave.

The group proceeded at a moderate speed toward the direction the Iron-eating Beasts had left, and Du Xixi’s heart was beating in an unusually peculiar rhythm, making her nervous. Especially when she heard a roar from the Iron-eating Beasts in the distance, she felt all her blood boil, and after pressing her hand to her chest, she felt like her heart might jump out.

Du Xixi and her group stopped in their tracks, as a large green "curtain" appeared in front of them, obscuring their view of what lay beyond. This "curtain" was made of an unknown vine plant, which had climbed up a few gigantic trees and grown wildly, with long and dense vines hanging down. Even a rather strong wind couldn’t lift them completely.
