Because of the new members, Luo Xingzhou did not have enough at lunch, nor did Mi Luo and Chen Kangning. Then Chen Kangning took the initiative to get a Stellar Beast he had hunted from his space button and went to the river to clean it. Luo Xingzhou reluctantly started grilling again. During this time, he instructed the two to look for plants and fruits that could be used as seasoning.
The three of them shared most of the newly grilled Stellar Beast. They packed the rest to save for the evening, or they could fill up when they were hungry halfway through. Then they set off, satisfied, to continue to explore this foreign planet.
When they encountered the Stellar Beast, Cannibal Flower Jiu Tang was very well-behaved and cooperated with Mi Luo and Chen Kangning in hunting, which made the audience of Mi Luo and Chen Kangning's Live Channels also praised Jiu Tang. Occasionally glancing at their compliments to Jiu Tang, the audience of Luo Xingzhou's Live Channel held back their laughter.
"Do you think Jiu Tang is not in the right state this afternoon? It feels lazy."
"I think so too. It's possible that it's working lazier because it ate too much and hasn't digested the food yet."
"That's right. Baby Jiu Tang is obviously so aggressive. It only shows its good side to Luo Xingzhou. So, guess when Mi Luo and Chen Kangning will see Baby Jiu Tang's real side? Will they be shocked then?"
"Haha, that's an evil idea. It's hard to say. I hope they'll be able to hold on and not get scared."
Chen Kangning was a Water Powerman, so Luo Xingzhou didn't have to worry about finding water when he stayed with them. In the evening, he and Mi Luo provided the ingredients, and Luo Xingzhou only had to cook the food. After a good meal, the three of them spent the night in the new cave they had found.
Luo Xingzhou was somewhat wary of the two, but he didn't mind teaming up with them. After spending half a day with them, Luo Xingzhou also got a good idea of their temperament. Mi Luo was a sunny, enthusiastic boy. The atmosphere will be very lively where he was present, while Chen Kangning was mature and prudent, like a big brother, whose defensiveness may not be less than Luo Xingzhou. Moreover, Luo Xingzhou could see that Chen Kangning took considerable care of Mi Luo. Perhaps it was the presence of Chen Kangning that made Mi Luo so happy and at ease.
Although Mi Luo was enthusiastic, he also kept a certain degree of respect for others. He did not ask Luo Xingzhou what he should not ask. So Luo Xingzhou still joined the two of them on the third day, and Mi Luo couldn't wait for Luo Xingzhou to keep them company. Even though he had only eaten three meals cooked by Luo Xingzhou, he felt that he could not live without Luo Xingzhou for the rest of the month at Survival Live Show. Without Luo Xingzhou, he couldn't imagine how he and Chen Kangning would be able to keep their bellies full for the rest of the show.
They had gone from chewing jerky and drinking nutrients to enjoying the delicious food. It would be too hard for him if they had to return to the days of chewing jerky with nutritional fluid.
That afternoon, they were walking through a swamp. Mi Luo almost got stuck in it. Before Chen Kangning and Luo Xingzhou could help, Mi Luo had already changed into his beast form, a Cat-like beast with a light, agile physique. He jumped out quickly and agilely when only one foot was trapped inside. In a flash, he was back to Chen Kangning's side.
Mi Luo's fur in his cat form was black and yellow. At this time, he fluffed up, which made Luo Xingzhou want to pet him. The cat-like beast clung to Chen Kangning's arms. While smoothing his fur, Chen Kangning looked ahead vigilantly and said, "There's something in the swamp. Let's leave."
Luo Xingzhou did not delay. He turned around and walked in the opposite direction of the swamp.
After walking for a while, he looked back. He did see a dark shadow emerge from the swamp. He didn't know what kind of powerful creature was hiding inside. But some of the viewers of the Live channel knew that the swamp was where one of the contestants had been buried on the first day.
"It's so scary. It was so close. Luckily, it was Mi Luo who fell in... Catlike Beastmen just have an advantage in that area."
"It's okay. Even if it wasn't Mi Luo who fell in, Luo Xingzhou's Jiu Tang would have come to help. Think about the first day when Luo Xingzhou first awakened his powers."
"That's right. Jiu Tang would be able to drag people out quickly."
Luo Xingzhou could not see the Live channel's real-time comments. Therefore, they did not know that one player had already sacrificed in this swamp. Even though Luo Xingzhou had relied on Jiu Tang to kill a Level B Stellar Beast, he didn't dare to step into the swamp easily. He knew that the farther away from here, the better.
As a Catlike Beastmen, Mi Luo was a very qualified hunter. They had been walking in the opposite direction of the swamp for over an hour when Mi Luo first spotted something strange.
"Have you noticed that the footprints left on the ground by the beasts here are all going forward but not coming back?" Mi Luo parted the weeds to see the paw prints left by the beasts on the dirt. Beastmen were more sensitive than others to the scents and traces left by beasts and Stellar Beasts.
Chen Kangning said, "Then we should be more careful next. If anything goes wrong, we'll retreat back."
"Okay." Luo Xingzhou had no objection.
The audience of the Live channel was also discussing enthusiastically.
"What could be wrong? Isn't it normal to have only going footprints? Maybe the place ahead has abundant water and grass resources, which are more suitable for beasts and Stellar Beast to survive."
"Let's wait and see. No matter what the environment is, it's never a bad thing to be alert. I think these three are pretty good, and they work well with each other."
"Right. We admit that Luo Xingzhou is good. Mi Luo has found the right teammate."
"Haha, just good? I think Mi Luo is dying to be Luo Xingzhou's pendant! If he leaves Luo Xingzhou, how will he live the rest of his days in this show?"
"Mi Luo is crazy about food! Not to mention him, I want to try Luo Xingzhou's barbecue after watching the live stream. I'm drooling watching them eat so well."
The audience was laughing and joking in the comment section, while Luo Xingzhou and Mi Luo were on high alert. Because the surrounding area was too quiet. This was weird. In a forest, the sound of insects and birds should be incessant. But as they went further, even the insects disappeared.
Influenced by Luo Xingzhou, Jiu Tang, which was lying on his shoulder, also stood up. At first glance, it looked like a snake, with its head held high and ready to strike.
About two miles ahead of them, two girls were admiring the big field of flowers in front of them with a gleam in their eyes. They were also the participants of the Survival Live Show.
Huo Zhijun was a tall girl. She was a former sports influencer and had lots of fans on Stellarnet. At this moment, she also showed her feminine side, holding her face and exclaiming, "It's so beautiful! I can't even express in words how beautiful this flower sea is. I never expected that there would be such a beautiful view on this planet."
Her companion, Lena, was also a good figure. She has a pair of long legs. Ever since the two beauties met and teamed up, the number of viewers of their live channels had soared. At one point, they had more viewers than Luo Xingzhou.
Lena was in awe, "Yeah! It is so beautiful. When this planet is developed, we can come back here to visit."
Like them, the audience was immersed in this beautiful flower sea on the Live channel. Various compliments appeared in the live comments. The viewers commented that the two beauties were as beautiful as the scenery where they were in. Moreover, they posted many screenshots of the live broadcast in the comment section, all of which showed the perfect, flawless beauty of the two girls.
Of course, the endless praise was interspersed with some disapproving comments. But these voices were quickly drowned out by the praise, unable to attract the attention of others.
A few people found this flower sea was beautiful in a somewhat weird way. Why did no insects or birds appear in this area? Not even a single bee for honey was seen. They didn't hear anything except the wind and the awe-inspiring voices of the two female runners. This was so weird. Unfortunately, their voices could not be transmitted to the two players in front of the camera. They had no way to warn the two girls to raise their guard.
The two couldn't help but take steps forward toward the sea of flowers.
"Wait! Look! There's a beast running past them."
"Ah!"
Now more people have noticed the bizarre scene. Many shouting comments appeared in the real-time comments. Because, as soon as the small beast passed by Huo Zhijun and Lena and reached the flower sea, a vine suddenly rushed out from the flower sea and tied the beast up. Immediately afterwards, a huge and different flower emerged from behind, and ate the beast in one bite. The audience could even clearly see the beast struggling and writhing in the giant petals that sometimes closed and sometimes opened. But the beast soon stopped moving. Then the flower retracted. Nothing strange could be seen in the flower see.
"Crap! Run! Don't go any further!"
"Oh my God, did none of these two actually notice this bizarre scene?"
"Can't you see that the two of them don't look right anymore? Didn't they say there was a fragrance before? I suspect that the fragrance has a psychedelic effect! The two girls are bewitched. They are going to become the prey of this flower monster."
"God! Somebody help them."
"Everyone else is spread out! How could anyone happen to be nearby? And Huo Zhijun and Lena are already very competent runners. The others may not be able to save them."
"Look! Someone is coming from behind! Quickly! Save our Zhijun and Lena!"
"Holy shit! The flower sea? It turns out that Mi Luo and Luo Xingzhou were right in their suspicions. They actually come to the Sea of Flowers too." Some viewers switched between several live channels and noticed, "Look guys! You guys look at Live channels number 5 and 7! This flower sea is a man-eating monster."
Many viewers quickly switched channels to have a look. Then after switching back to the channel they just had, they could only send out a string of exclamations expressing awe in the comment section. They didn't know whether to ask Luo Xingzhou and his companions to save the girls or to pray for them to run away. The first priority of the Survival Live Show was to stay alive, not to be kind and save others. If they went to save others, they might not only not succeed in getting the two girls out, they would probably get their own lives into it.
Luo Xingzhou could not hear the comments from the audience of the Live channels. They first smelled the fragrance of flowers, and then saw a large field of swaying flowers like a sea. The wind blew, and the petals danced with the wind. It was a beautiful picture.
"It's so beautiful," Mi Luo couldn't help but walk forward, "Let's camp and have a picnic here today, can we?"
Whenever he saw something, the first thing he thought of was food. However, the audience watching the show for his sake wanted to hit him on the head with a hammer to wake him up.
"Is this the time to think about what to eat? You don't want to be eaten by weird demon flowers accidentally, do you?"
Chen Kangning was also fascinated and followed Mi Luo up. He had always put Mi Luo first. Naturally, he gave whatever Mi Luo asked.
Luo Xingzhou looked at the flower sea and felt a chill at the bottom of his heart. In the past life, he had been a Cannibal Flower all his life. He understood this trap too well. Now he and his former form, Cannibal Flower, were one. The fragrance of this flower was not even the slightest bit tempting to him, but to others it was different.
Luo Xingzhou was immediately alerted, "Chen Kangning, bring Mi Luo back! This field of flower and fragrance are not right."
Hearing Luo Xingzhou's voice, Chen Kangning winced, then looked fiercely toward Mi Luo. Sure enough, something wasn't right here! Immediately, he summoned a ball of water and poured it on Mi Luo.
