Chapter 6: Meerkats

The fire crackled and sparks exploded, and sparks splashed on the sizzling snake meat that was being roasted, and Ansu cut off a piece and tasted it, and only after making sure it was cooked before removing the snake meat from the fire. Snake meat www.biquge.info may contain parasites, and it is best to eat it after it is completely cooked. Ansu had hunted a python before, and after peeling the skin, he could find wriggling white parasites hidden in the meat, although disgusting, Ansu still removed those parasites and eggs, and roasted the snake meat and ate it. But then every time she had to cook snake meat, she would carefully check for parasites, and she didn't want these things to be parasitic in her body.

Rattlesnake meat tastes like chicken and fish, which is a delicacy in the world for Ansu, who hasn't actually eaten meat for many days. Eating some meat, drinking a little water, when the stomach gradually filled, An Su felt a feeling of happiness all over his body, and then looked at the sunset desert, thorn bushes and other kinds of beauty. The cold eyes were also covered with a soft glow under the reflection of the sunset and the flames.

Early the next morning, without rattlesnakes in her way, Ansu climbed the rock wall smoothly, and she stood on the high cliff face and looked around. At this time, the sun had just risen over the horizon, and under the dark blue sky, the vast expanse of desert slowly unfolded before her eyes, and the continuous sand dunes, the huge cacti standing silently, the gray-white rocks and the shrubs that struggled to survive in the cracks of the rocks were once again colored in the morning light.

Ansu stood on a high place, the cool wind ruffling the hair on her forehead, revealing a pair of sharp eyes. It was impossible to go to the west, for she had already walked it, and the north and south were still deserts with no end in sight, and the east was ......

Ansu lowered her head and pondered. There was also a desert to the east, but she seemed to see something on the eastern horizon, like mountains and trees, and she couldn't see it clearly.

A loud cry suddenly sounded from the sky above, and Ansu looked up and saw a black bird flapping its big wings, flying overhead, and flying eastward. Ansu immediately made a decision and headed east!

It is not difficult to see that this place has just experienced a fire, which burned the already sparse dead grass on the grassland. In the smoke that has not yet dissipated, you can still see bright red sparks. The ground was burned black, and the ashes of the grass and trees scattered with the smoke and dust......

When Ansu came here, he saw such a scene.

Fortunately, the fire has been extinguished, otherwise the fire would have escaped. Boots stepped on the charred black earth, and you could still feel the heat rushing. Ansu walked through it, looking for some animals that had been burned to death, but no, the place was so desolate that there was nothing but smoke and fire. Ansu covered her mouth and nose with her hands and quickly walked through the fireland.

It was a fire, Ansu thought as she looked at the blackened trunks and yellowed leaves. The trunk of this tree resembles an upright vase, with a round belly and a slender neck, and the top part forked into many small branches like fan bones, like a giant mushroom.

Ansu stopped because she smelled a sweet scent on the tree. The scent came from the bark of the tree, which had been burned like charcoal. Ansu's throat couldn't help but move, and she immediately drew her saber and shaved away the charred bark, revealing the flesh that was still emitting heat inside. She cut off a piece with the tip of a knife and tasted it, and she actually tasted the taste of sweet potatoes, with a hint of sweetness. Ansu's eyes lit up, but she was still very careful not to eat more.

That night, Ansu stayed next to a mound not far from the mushroom tree, and when night fell, you could see the light of the fire all around, so she didn't feel cold. Ansu leaned against the mound and closed his eyes to rest.

In the middle of the night, Ansu heard the sound of clattering the bark from the mushroom tree, and she immediately clenched her saber and opened her eyes. In the faint starlight, she saw several black dots moving over the sweet potato tree. She narrowed her eyes and dived like a cat.

Alien gophers have sharp claws and rodents, they look like mice, but their bodies are longer than normal mice, as if they have been elongated. They tear open the bark with their two paws, bury their heads in the tree, and eat merrily. Suddenly, their ears moved, and a cloud of sand and dust kicked up, and they disappeared into thin air, leaving only a few holes in the ground.

An Su thought that he was exposed, but soon found that this was not the case, and in the deserted grassland, a figure gradually appeared.

A burst of electricity hit her body, and Ansu shuddered, opening her mouth and forgetting to breathe. Could it be them? Could it be?! She couldn't help but stand up and ran over excitedly. The figure also seemed to have spotted Ansu, but instead of running towards Ansu, he turned and fled, his tail slashing through the air like a slap on Ansu's head.

Ansu's footsteps only paused, but he still caught up.

The shadow appeared to be injured and fell to the ground after running a short distance. Ansu seized the opportunity to catch up, bent her knees against the shadow of the shadow, grabbed one of its hands with one hand, and pulled it behind her back, the saber in the other hand already across its throat.

The black shadow screamed in pain, and muttered a word in his mouth, so that the knife in An Su's hand did not cut down. Although she couldn't understand what it was saying, she knew that it was different from normal animal sounds, and it seemed to be some kind of language. Ansu is no longer surprised, there are all kinds of strange tribes on the alien planet, she may have encountered one of them, she does not want to be hunted down.

"What are you?" Ansu thought for a moment and asked in the alien lingua franca he had learned in the Naga. The creature was neither a human nor a monkey, but it could stand like a primate. A pair of round, large eyes took up almost half of the head, and the small mouth protruded slightly, revealing off-white fangs. Ansu frowned, she seemed to have seen this animal somewhere.

"Meerkat, rainbow meerkat." Rainbow Meerkats gasped, "Don't, don't kill me. ”

Rainbow Meerkats speak lingua franca, but do not seem to be proficient.

"What are you doing here?" Ansu didn't let her guard down in the slightest.

"Food, I'm so hungry." Rainbow Fire Meerkat said angrily.

After Ansu's eyes adjusted to the darkness, he looked at her more closely, and found that the rainbow meerkats had multiple burns on her body, making her originally shiny fur look dirty and messy, and there seemed to be blood flowing from between her legs.

Ansu let go of her restraints and stood up, still keeping a safe distance from her. She saw the rainbow meerkat's claws, sharp as a small dagger.

Rainbow Meerkat struggled a few times, but still couldn't get up again, she turned a pair of big eyes to look at Ansu, with a plea in her eyes: "That...... Please help me! "Rainbow Meerkats have never seen humans, and they think that Ansu is one of the countless tribes on the alien planet.

An Su was silent for a while and turned to leave, and the Rainbow Fire Meerkat hurriedly stood up and shouted, "I am the queen of the Fire Meerkat Clan, as long as you save me, I will definitely repay you well!" Ansu didn't look back, and the rainbow meerkatat fell to the ground, feeling countless eyes in the darkness around him, and despair swelled in his heart.

"Eat." Ansu threw three pieces of meat cut from the mushroom tree onto the rainbow meerkat's body, and said lightly. The meerkat's reciprocation was not taken into account at all, but the meerkat's plight happened to touch her heartstrings. Ansu couldn't help but shake a little as she watched Rainbow Fire Meerkat gobble up, she wanted her teammates to be treated well in difficult situations, although she didn't want them to get into trouble.
