My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 676 - 228: Honey Candy

The Mammoth’s exposed flesh was already somewhat rotten, but Du Xixi, due to a moment of interest in the past, had carefully perused these extinct prehistoric giants, and naturally recognized it by its thick fur.

She had always been curious about what such a prehistoric beast would taste like. Unexpectedly, while she never got to experience this on Blue Star, here in this different time and space, she was already recklessly grilling a large chunk of Mammoth meat.

On the surface, Du Xixi seemed to look at this massive corpse with nostalgia, but only she knew that she was already starting to savor the taste of Mammoth meat in her mind.

To be honest, it wasn’t bad.

Looking at the Mammoth’s fur stained with dried blood, she had no desire to touch the giant beast. However, her mouth was already responding to Ke Lian’s question: "Mammoths, also known as hairy elephants, are tall and strong, with sturdy legs bearing four toes each, and a particularly large head. They lack lower incisors, and the upper ones are long, curving upwards and outwards. Their skin is very thick, and they have a thick layer of fat... because they lived in extremely cold times!"

As Du Xixi spoke, she felt a bit puzzled: "I remember you guys told me that the daytime temperatures in this world would get increasingly higher, while at night, it would gradually drop to below ten degrees? This doesn’t seem like an environment suitable for Mammoths’ survival."

Leaving the night temperatures aside, Du Xixi had personally experienced the daytime heat since arriving. If it weren’t for the cooling effect of her clothing and 2569 stepping in as a "cooling expert" to cool her down from time to time, she feared she would melt under the scorching summer sun.

The Mammoth’s thick skin and layer of fat alone were enough to make one sweat just looking at it. Yet Ke Lian and the others had hunted this Mammoth during the day, suggesting that Mammoths in this world came out during the day as well...

Du Xixi frowned, realizing that her food-oriented brain wasn’t suited for pondering perplexing biological questions. Ke Lian and Mo Feng, having heard her words, also found this world quite peculiar.

Mo Feng, occasionally oblivious, was completely focused on the Mammoth now, not questioning how Du Xixi knew of Blue Star’s animals. After a moment’s thought, he boldly guessed, "Could it be that these Mammoths are mutated? I’ve heard that many Insect Clans mutate; one moment they’re crawling on the ground, the next they’re flying, catching people completely off guard."

Mammoths and the Insect Clan? Du Xixi raised an eyebrow oddly at this connection, finding Mo Feng’s speculation very much in his character. What surprised her, however, was that Ke Lian quite agreed with Mo Feng’s guess: "It makes sense, this Mammoth might really be mutated!"

Du Xixi: ...

Her intuition told her it wasn’t mutation that led Mammoths to wander around during the day. However, Ke Lian and Mo Feng, these two were truly "birds of a feather," and Du Xixi didn’t know how to refute, so she sighed with a smile, "I’m getting a bit hungry, why don’t we head back? I think 2569 should have the skewers ready by now."

The three of them had come out just to show Du Xixi the Mammoth’s corpse, and since they’d seen it, it naturally was time to head back for dinner. With the aroma of grilled skewers awaiting, Ke Lian and the others were quite eager to avoid the Nutrition Supplements.

As the three walked shoulder to shoulder toward the cave, Du Xixi suddenly turned back to look at the Mammoth’s corpse, a trace of sadness in her eyes. She wasn’t pitying the Mammoth killed by Ke Lian and the others. The law of the jungle had always been the rule of survival, just that... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

In the face of death, people always have some idle lamentations, right? Du Xixi was no exception.

Ke Lian noticed Du Xixi’s actions, perhaps sensing her shift in emotion, he reached out and held her hand, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing." Du Xixi snapped back to reality, gently shook her head at Ke Lian, then leaned a bit closer to him, allowing his comforting presence to envelop her, "I just miss the kids a bit, especially Sansi. You haven’t met him yet."

Sansi...

Ke Lian’s heart tightened; after all, it was his child. Though he deliberately avoided thinking about him, now that Du Xixi mentioned it, Ke Lian couldn’t suppress the guilt in his heart: "If we hadn’t been sucked into the wormhole, maybe I could have ended the war sooner and gone back to see the kids."
