He said in a deep voice, "Shi Xiong, go start a fire and cook! Make sure everyone eats well and gathers their strength!"
Shi Xiong received the order with both hands as if holding a sacred object, his face full of reverence, and replied loudly, "Rest assured, young master! I, Shi Xiong, will do my utmost, making sure the food is perfect in color, aroma, and taste, so everyone can eat with great spirit, gathering energy for the impending battle!"
He then walked briskly towards the makeshift "tent kitchen," his steps light and powerful.
Arriving at the "kitchen," Shi Xiong carefully placed the combustible ice in place.
Afterward, he took out a fire stick and blew on it forcefully, sparking a flame that instantly ignited, like a ray of hopeful light suddenly shining in the darkness.
