Chapter 105: A Genuine Breakfast
She was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Be careful!"
"Rest assured, it's just an old sick cat with a head injury."
One man, one lion, faced off against each other. Zhang Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity as his internal energy was fully mobilized, and he had already made preparations for battle. The lion clearly sensed Zhang Jun's strength, being the king of beasts with sharp intuition that humans did not possess, so it hesitated to launch an attack.
The standoff lasted for ten minutes, and the majestic lion let out a desolate roar before slowly turning around and leaving. It had given up its confrontation with Zhang Jun, which was undoubtedly a wise choice.
As the lion walked away, Shangguan Meixue let out a long sigh of relief. She struggled to get up, but her legs suddenly went soft and she fell forward. Just as she hit the ground, a pair of strong hands caught her and a familiar voice whispered in her ear, "Useless woman, did the lion scare your legs weak?"
Shangguan Meixue unexpectedly did not refute him, she said in a low voice: "I was originally a woman, and it's only natural for women to be timid."
Zhang Jun was stunned, if she had said something back to him, he would have continued to mock her a few more times. But the other party's softness made him speechless, and he could only shrug his shoulders, unable to respond.
"When will they come to pick us up?" Shangguan Meixue gradually regained her strength and stood up to ask.
"It's hard to say, but it shouldn't take more than ten hours."
"What's next?" asked Shangguan Meixue.
"Sleep." Zhang Jun stretched and replied, "All the way until dawn."
Shangguan Meixue pulled out some dry grass from the swamp and spread it on the ground, then covered her head and face with her clothes and curled up to sleep. The clothes kept the mosquitoes away, and she slept quite soundly.
Zhang Jun did not sleep, he meditated and circulated his blood all night. Since entering the dark energy level, there has been a surge of internal energy in his body. He needs to constantly nourish this energy, letting it grow stronger and more perfect until it can fill his entire body.
The sky had unknowingly brightened up. When Shangguan Meixue woke up, she found herself resting her head on Zhang Jun's thigh. The latter sat still, seemingly not feeling any discomfort from this.
She felt a warmth in her heart and realized that Zhang Jun was actually a cold outside and warm inside person, although he teased her with his words, but secretly took good care of her.
She woke up and Zhang Jun also opened his eyes, asking: "What do you want to eat for breakfast?"
Shangguan Meixue blinked her eyes and said on purpose: "I want to eat fried eggs with milk."
Zhang Jun's eyes widened and he said, "Then do you want to eat elephant meat?"
Shangguan Meixue raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "You asked me what I wanted to eat, I just thought about it, didn't say I must have it, why are you being so fierce?"
Zhang Jun hummed and left without saying a word.
Shangguan Meixue wasn't worried at all, because she knew that this sometimes stupid and sometimes great man would definitely come back. It was a kind of unreasonable trust.
As expected, Zhang Jun returned half an hour later. Shangguan Meixue's eyes widened and her small mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg.
Zhang Jun had a football-sized ostrich egg in his left arm, a thin stone slab in his right hand, a string of animal fat and meat around his neck, and that water bag.
The water bag contains wild buffalo milk, and in order to squeeze the milk, Zhang Jun had a standoff with the buffalo herd. However, after he saved a dying young buffalo, the young buffalo's mother became exceptionally close and trusting of him.
Perhaps due to the Buddha's relic, Zhang Jun can feel the joys and sorrows of animals and easily let them sense his kindness or anger. Although there is no verbal communication between him and animals, they can understand each other's thoughts and intentions.
The nutritional value of water buffalo milk is higher than that of ordinary cow's milk and it tastes good, making it suitable for breakfast.
The fatty meat hanging from his neck was snatched from the jaws of a leopard. The leopard had just knocked down an antelope, and Zhang Jun arrived just in time. Coincidentally, this leopard had once witnessed Zhang Jun kill a crocodile, so it reluctantly chose to abandon its hard-won prey and left with a huff.
However, Zhang Jun was not greedy and only cut off a small piece of animal fat and a large piece of breast meat, leaving the rest behind. Soon, the hunting leopard came back and took away the remaining prey.
As for the ostrich egg, it was something he happened to stumble upon. A few large ostriches were killed by a pair of foxes, leaving several eggs lying in the grass. When the foxes were about to enjoy their spoils, Zhang Jun casually picked one up.
So, we have the ingredients for the omelette and milk as well.
Zhang Junsheng lit a pile of fire, then used stones to prop up thin stone slices, set them on the fire, and a simple griddle was made. He broke the ostrich eggs, carefully poured the egg liquid on top, and added seasonings.
Soon, the fragrant and savory steamed quail eggs became a dish that made Shangguan Meixue's fingers move with great enthusiasm.
Not only that, Zhang Jun also cut the pheasant's breast meat into thin slices and placed them on a stone board to fry. Soon, they were sizzling with oil and emitting a fragrant aroma.
A Swiss Army knife was taken apart and they each picked a component to use as a makeshift fork and knife, starting their breakfast.
Shangguan Meixue took a piece of fried egg and put it in her mouth, feeling that the taste was extremely good. She ate more than a dozen pieces in a row. Then she drank a sip of watered-down milk, which tasted just as good, no worse than regular milk.
After dinner, Zhang Jun patted his belly and said, "Let's hit the road."
Shangguan Meixue ate her fill, and she let out a rather unladylike belch. Satisfied, she said, "It's been ages since I've eaten so much, thanks for the breakfast."
"This meal is going to be eaten outside, at least 500 yuan, remember to pay me back." Zhang Jun said.
Shangguan Meixue sneered: "Don't mention 500 yuan, I can return you 5,000 yuan, you petty ghost!"
Two people walked along the river and stopped suddenly at noon because a tragic scene was unfolding in front of them on the prairie.
A young male lion is biting a younger cub until it suffocates to death. Three cubs' bodies are already lying on the ground, and only one cub is left screaming in terror, its front paws on the ground, roaring at the male lion.
The mother of the little lions tried to protect her children but failed, now she stood in front of the last one, trying to block the male lion.
"They're really pitiful." Shangguan Meixue said with great shock, her voice trembling.
Zhang Jun slightly furrowed his brow, remembering seeing such a situation on the show. A male lion would lead a pride for several years, and when it grew old, other young male lions would come to challenge it.
If the old male lion loses, it will be far away from the lion group and will probably die in the wild. The young male lion will take everything left by the old male lion and will bite all the young offspring of the old male lion to death, so as to let his own genes continue.
Zhang Jun thought of the sick male lion he had met not long ago, it was probably that defeated old male lion, who had been so seriously injured and didn't have much time left.
"Little guy, run away quickly!" Shangguan Meixue clenched her fists and stared intently at the only surviving little lion, hoping it could escape this disaster.
Zhang Jun sighed and said, "It's no use doing this." After finishing speaking, he went straight towards the lion group.

Today's update is not on time, it's a bit late, sorry about that.
