128: Chapter 128 Do hyenas grow up eating shit?

"Well said, Old Crocodile!" An Ke laughed heartily.

He was very satisfied with Old Crocodile's approach of pulling out the weeds by their roots.

If it were him, he would have also eliminated them all to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"Wahahaha!"

Having received praise, Old Crocodile laughed out loud, feeling very happy.

Sister-in-law Crocodile was also beaming with pride, running to An Ke to claim credit.

"Little friend, This mother keeps her word, doesn't she?"

"As long as This mother is here, you won't be in any danger, little friend."

Earlier, Sister-in-law Crocodile had been extremely ferocious when facing the pack of Hyenas.

With terrifying bite force combined with sharp teeth, she could cripple a Hyena in one bite.

At the same time, her thick tail was also a fearsome weapon.

A single tail whip could easily break a Hyena's bones.

It could be said that these Hyenas had no resistance at all before Sister-in-law Crocodile.

Little Scar and the others hardly needed to act; they only had to watch from the side to prevent the Hyenas from escaping.

The two crocodiles had wiped out the Hyenas in one fell swoop.

They were truly worthy of being called top-tier bodyguards!

Since Sister-in-law Crocodile was seeking credit from An Ke, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

He chuckled and praised Sister-in-law Crocodile as well, saying:

"I have always believed in Sister-in-law."

"Having Sister-in-law by my side gives me a full sense of security."

Being praised like this, Sister-in-law Crocodile was so happy she could fly.

She laughed so hard she shook, saying, "Oh my! Little friend, your tongue is so sweet."

"If Old Crocodile had even a tenth of your silver tongue, I wouldn't have to get angry every day."

Being dissed, Old Crocodile was somewhat speechless.

How could he not even have a tenth of An Ke's eloquence?

Didn't he just recite a beautiful line of poetry?

"Wildfires cannot burn it all away; the spring breeze brings it back to life!"

Look! How rhyming, what a beautiful poem?

However, Old Crocodile naturally didn't dare to argue with his wife; he was truly afraid of ending up like his brother-in-law, missing a leg.

Therefore, he changed the subject and said excitedly:

"Little friend, can these dog-things be roasted and eaten?"

On the side, Little Scar and the others were also very interested.

Monkeys are omnivores, after all; they want to taste a bit of everything.

An Ke nodded, "Of course they can be eaten."

"It's just that they don't taste good."

"Trust me, you definitely won't want to taste it."

An Ke wasn't joking.

Hyena meat is extremely unpalatable, even for carnivores like lions.

They won't eat Hyenas either.

There was once a lion who didn't believe it and took a bite of Hyena meat, only to end up vomiting for a long time.

An Ke's words made Sister-in-law Crocodile and Little Scar feel regretful.

However, Old Crocodile refused to believe it.

"Little friend, I, Old Crocodile, still intend to try it."

He felt that even if it tasted bad, how bad could it be?

Before meeting An Ke, he sometimes even ate rotting carcasses.

That kind of taste was barely acceptable.

So, regarding fresh food like Hyena, he planned to have a taste.

It was also to satisfy his curiosity and add an achievement to his life.

Seeing Old Crocodile's persistence, An Ke shrugged, "Since you want to eat it, I'll satisfy you."

Old Crocodile was overjoyed and thanked An Ke repeatedly.

An Ke didn't waste words and began roasting the Hyena meat.

Hyena meat looked no different from ordinary meat.

The only difference was that they had very little fat and were full of toughness.

This kind of meat looked unpalatable at a glance; it would become very dry and stringy after roasting.

Soon, the Hyena meat, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, was finished roasting by An Ke.

All around, Little Scar, Three Hairs, King Kong, and the other animals cast curious glances.

When they saw this piece of roast meat, they couldn't help but drool.

"Great King, this meat looks so delicious."

Not just Little Scar, but the other animals also expressed that this piece of Hyena meat didn't look special and didn't seem unpalatable.

An Ke just smiled and said nothing.

He handed the piece of Hyena meat to Old Crocodile.

Old Crocodile came over happily to take it with his mouth.

But after thinking about it, he chuckled and looked at his wife:

"dear one, do you want to take the first bite?"

"As the saying goes, ladies first, especially my beautiful wife."

Sister-in-law Crocodile shook her head irritably: "This mother refuses."

She wasn't like Old Crocodile, curious about new foods.

Since An Ke said it wasn't good, it definitely wasn't.

Letting Old Crocodile eat first was like letting him test for poison.

"Hehehe, then dear one, I won't be polite."

Old Crocodile no longer hesitated, took the Hyena meat in his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

However, this swallow immediately caused trouble.

The taste of the Hyena meat exploded on Old Crocodile's taste buds; an extremely foul stench filled his mouth and esophagus.

The smile that had been plastered on Old Crocodile's face instantly collapsed.

He retched violently, vomiting out the Hyena meat from his stomach.

The frustrating part was that although the meat was successfully vomited out, the taste remained in Old Crocodile's stomach.

It made Old Crocodile feel extremely miserable.

"Do these dog-things eat crap all day?"

"This taste is so... *blegh*!"

Old Crocodile cursed while retching.

Outside, the viewers in the live broadcast room felt it was a novelty to see Old Crocodile vomit.

"Hyena meat can actually make a crocodile vomit?!"

"For animals, as long as it provides nutrition, they can usually eat anything..."

"Yeah! I saw a video before where a lion was eating animal intestines, squeezing out poop as it ate."

"Holy crap!? Stop talking, the mental image makes me want to puke."

"Just how bad is Hyena meat that it can make a crocodile vomit?"

In the program, Coach Zhao, who usually had little presence, seized the opportunity.

He immediately smiled and shared some knowledge: "The reason Hyenas are unpalatable is that their bodies secrete a special mucus, also known as 'Hyena butter.'"

"This butter contains pheromones used for communication within their pack."

"It can be smelled by their companions from four kilometers away."

"But for predators, this butter is a nightmare."

"It makes the Hyena's meat taste foul."

Professor Wu nodded beside him: "Coach Zhao is absolutely right!"

"That's why in the wild, even if a lion kills a Hyena, it won't eat it."

"They will only carry the carcass around as a show of force to intimidate other Hyenas."

"..."

In the broadcast, An Ke shrugged helplessly, "I told you, Old Crocodile."

"You just wouldn't believe me."

Old Crocodile, who was still retching, wanted to cry but had no tears. He was filled with regret. "I, Old Crocodile, promise to always listen to the little friend's words from now on."

"Your words are the truth!"

On the side, Sister-in-law Crocodile and Little Scar were incredibly relieved.

Fortunately, they hadn't tasted it, otherwise, they would be the ones vomiting right now.

At the same time, all the animals reached a silent consensus in their hearts.

That is, they must believe An Ke's words.

Old Crocodile was a typical example.

Although Old Crocodile was uncomfortable, he didn't delay the group's progress.

After a brief rest, An Ke and the animals set off, heading towards the First Camp.

This lake was not far from the First Camp.

By crossing the hills, traversing the grasslands, entering the woods, and following the stream, they could reach the First Camp.

As soon as An Ke's group entered the woods, they were immediately noticed by Tiger Mom and Leopard Mom.

After smelling the familiar scent, both were overjoyed.

An Ke was back!

But when they caught the scent of the Old Crocodile Couple, their expressions darkened.
