After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 448 Looking forward to the future, today's morning
Based on the current information, Liang He could tell that the group of ruthless people would scout out the locations in advance when selecting the animals to be harmed.

"To avoid revealing their identities, they wouldn't do it themselves; they would definitely hire someone who is completely unrelated to them."

Langton integrated the existing information with his understanding of those nobles and made a reasonable analysis.

Since this kind of animal cruelty has occurred multiple times, it means that an industry chain has been formed.

“There must be a third-party organization involved that carries out the hunting for them, records the video, and then uses publicity reports to show the guests that the mission has been completed.”

The more power is concentrated in a place, the more likely it is to have shady deals.

These shady transactions all employ similar methods.

"They're too cunning! How is Liang He supposed to gather evidence like this?"

Leila slammed her hand on the table in anger, feeling both outraged for the victimized animals and worried about Liang He, who was about to investigate the matter.

"They're being so cautious, what if they find out you're investigating this..."

"I'm not afraid. I'd rather they know."

Liang He has her own ideas.

She launched a high-profile investigation into the matter, and the other party's reaction was limited to one of two things.

"They either get scared and stop, or at least I protected the other animals from suffering the same fate."

Although this means she can't avenge the victimized animals immediately, in the long run, she has plenty of time to slowly find the real culprit.

"Or they will be provoked, or even challenge you, and deliberately harm the animals you want to protect, but in doing so, they will be more likely to expose themselves."

Following Liang He's train of thought, Landon quickly understood her intention and frowned slightly.

Liang He is putting herself in danger. Even if those people are forced to stop, they will definitely hold a grudge and seek revenge in the future.

"I said, I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come."

Compared to the danger, Liang He would rather eradicate the cancer once and for all than leave any hidden dangers.

If the other party were to move such an open transaction to a clandestine operation, given the vastness of the interstellar space, she truly wouldn't be able to find out.

"But isn't this a bit too risky?"

Evelyn also disagreed, believing that Liang He didn't need to make herself a target.

"Risk and reward are directly proportional."

The greater the risk, the higher the potential reward.

In Liang He's opinion, this method is very good.

"Now that you've made up your mind, you need to take good care of yourself."

Cedriel, who had been silent all along, let out a rare deep sigh and then turned his gaze to Elius.

"You protect her."

Although Elius was the leader of the space pirates, they should theoretically be considered enemies.

But when it comes to Liang He's matter, Cedril is willing to believe Elius.

He believed that even at the cost of his life, Elius would ensure Liang He's safety.

"I will."

Elius, unusually, did not argue with Cedril, but agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Evelyn and Lyra naturally didn't say anything more.

As I said before, once Liang He makes a decision, basically no one can change it.

"So... I hope that when we get together again next time, we'll both be there for each other, just like we are today."

The group exchanged knowing glances, their eyes brimming with uncontrollable smiles, their lips curving upwards.

A gentle sea breeze swept by, bringing life to this friendship.

Happy days are always short-lived, and going our separate ways after the trip is inevitable.

After saying goodbye to one good friend after another, Liang He, Elius, and Liang Jia, along with their three furry companions, embarked on a new journey. "Woo-hoo!"

"Meow!"

The snow leopard and the platinum lion playfully frolic in their daily lives, showing no signs of the caution or wariness one might expect when first arriving in their new environment.

Watching them roll around in the sand, turning over and over, Liang He shook her head helplessly.

"They all adapt quite well."

Liang He originally didn't plan to bring the furry creatures along, mainly because she was worried that they wouldn't adapt to the desert environment.

However, after asking Huo An, he said that the orcs' beast form was not that fragile, and the environment had little impact on them. As long as they had food and water, there would be no problem.

So, after consulting with the furry creatures themselves, Liang He decided to bring them along.

"Jiaojiao, are you thirsty? I'll give you a bowl of chilled milk."

Xuanjiao, who was less active, hid in the shade of the tent, his eyes slightly narrowed, staring straight ahead, clearly feeling sleepy.

"Uh-huh!"

Upon hearing about the chilled milk pudding, Xuan Jiao instantly perked up and nodded quickly.

Liang He, charmed by his cuteness, immediately fulfilled his request and brought him a bowl of chilled milk.

Since learning that they were beastmen, Liang He has been much more lenient with their diet than before, and the furry creatures' meals have been getting better and better.

"Okay, drink slowly, no rush."

After settling Xuanjiao in, Lianghe picked up the map again and began to ponder the possible locations where the red-maned lion might appear.

“Lions are social animals, and I looked around the neighborhood but didn’t find any lion prides.”

Liang Jia reported her investigation results to Liang He.

Of course, he didn't go to investigate alone; at Liang He's strong insistence, Elius accompanied him.

"Hmm, it seems we need to go further in."

They are actually quite close to the edge of the desert, so it's normal that they can't find any trace of the lion pride.

"It should be heading towards the oasis, where there is plenty of water and the environment is relatively better."

Animals aren't stupid; they'll naturally flock to water sources.

But precisely because of this, they are easy targets for ambushes, not only by animals but also by humans.

"Shall we rest for the night and set off tomorrow morning?"

It was already sunset, and nighttime was not a good time to travel in the desert.

Even with aircraft, caution and safety must be prioritized under these conditions.

"it is good."

Actually, Liang He never planned to travel at night, otherwise he wouldn't have set up a tent.

So she readily agreed to Elius's suggestion and began preparing dinner.

"Luckily, Goring prepared large flying vehicles for us, otherwise, with three people and three beasts crammed together, there wouldn't even be enough room to put our supplies."

Thankfully, Golin had thought things through; otherwise, if Liang He and the others had waited until they arrived at Crimson Flame Star to prepare these things, who knows how much time would have been wasted.

"How about we just have some noodles and a can of meat for dinner tonight?"

Due to limited desert conditions, Liang He couldn't possibly carry a whole aircraft full of fresh vegetables and meat, so he mainly relied on canned food.

"Okay, I'm not picky about food."

"No problem, I'll help."

Elius volunteered to help Liang He, while Liang Jia carried kitchen utensils such as stoves down from the aircraft.

Seeing Liang Jia, who had been tormented by the black wizard and was pale and thin, now looking like a young man after more than a month of careful feeding, Liang He was very gratified.

"Once things are settled here, we should start thinking about the two of you."
