As he watched the sci-fi styled fighter jet disappear into the horizon, Chen Chu couldn't help but wonder, "How could a long-range bomber jet enter this area?"
This place was still at the intersection of the outskirts and the middle section of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, and the clouds in the sky weren't very dense, allowing Chen Chu and the others to vaguely see the aircraft flying by.
An Fuqing also frowned slightly, "There must be something going on; otherwise, military jets wouldn't appear in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range."
Chen Chu nodded slightly.
The Southern Exotic Beast Battlefield was divided into two parts, with military activities primarily taking place on the Plain of Ten Thousand Beasts, while the mountainous areas were designated as the school's base for training students.
Now that military aircraft had entered the mountains and deployed something, it indicated that an incident had occurred.
In fact, for the vast Exotic Beast Battlefield, humans had absolute control.
Regardless of the countless mutated beasts or the chaotic spatial magnetic fields shrouded by the mist of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, the military could mobilize overwhelming force at any time.
However, under normal circumstances, there was no need to do so; after all, killing a batch of mutated creatures would only lead to their reproduction.
Instead, it was better to treat this area, including the mutated beasts, as an ordinary resource production site, while also providing a training ground for the new generation of students to accumulate practical combat experience.
Chen Chu gazed deeply at the small dot that had fallen beyond the peak at the end of the horizon, preparing to check it out tomorrow.
The cliff where An Fuqing was located had a good terrain, backed by a mountain and facing a cliff, with only sparse weeds far off on either side. Therefore, a fire pit was quickly lit.
While An Fuqing sat in front of the fire, warming the dry rations she had brought,
In the darkness, Chen Chu returned with a two-ton black stone on his shoulder and a mutated beast resembling a wild bull, over five meters long, dragging behind him.
Casually tossing the beast's carcass aside, Chen Chu placed the stone down with a thud and looked at An Fuqing, "Classmate An, please use your sword to flatten this piece of steel stone."
"Flatten the stone?" An Fuqing asked, puzzled, as she approached, taking out her Extraordinary Battle Sword that radiated a white halo.
"Flatten it this way, don’t make it too thick, about two centimeters will do. I need three stone stools and four small stone feet…"
Under Chen Chu's guidance, An Fuqing soon shaped the iron-like steel stone into the desired forms.
Then, under the watchful gaze of the girl and the young man standing with his hands behind his back at the cliff's edge, Chen Chu piled up a stone slab to cover half of the fire pit.
Next, he washed it with water carried in his storage space, followed by a series of small bottles of seasoning.
Then, he cut a large piece of fresh beef from the mutated beast's corpse, using a small knife that exhaled golden-red blade qi to slice it into thin pieces, placing them on the stone slab over the fire.
Sizzle!!
Instantly, the beef released oil, and as Chen Chu brushed on the sauce, a rich meaty aroma spread, intertwined with a spicy cumin flavor.
Watching this scene, An Fuqing momentarily froze, as did the young man in white standing at the edge of the cliff.
When the first batch of over a dozen meat slices was nearly ready, Chen Chu called out, "Come on, Classmate An, try the stone slab barbecue I learned from Li Hao."
"And you, Brother Zuo, who has been standing over there... cough, come join us for a meal; don't be shy."
As he spoke, Chen Chu took out two pairs of chopsticks from his storage space, placing them beside the stone slab, gesturing for An Fuqing and the young man, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, to come and eat together.
Drawn by the aroma of the meat, An Fuqing didn't hesitate and took a seat on one of the stone stools.
