Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 563: Chapter 444: Teaching by Example

"Senior brother, just a bit further ahead is the territory of those rats. Later, you and I will split up and take action. Remember to grab the goods and then run. Junior brother... the junior brother will be responsible for covering for us."

"Are you sure that nest of black rats is only at the True Self Realm, without a Nirvana leader?"

"Yes, hehe, those rats have very sharp ears. Actually, as we speak here, they can hear us. If there were a Nirvana Realm rat king in the group, these little monsters would have come out to hunt us long ago."

"That’s good... Junior brother, take care of your own safety."

"...Oh."

"Alright, let’s move."

As soon as the words fall, two figures in the cave separate to the left and right. A dozen seconds later, Chen Moqing hears a series of fighting sounds coming from the darkness afar, accompanied by the screeching and strange cries of the rats.

Feeling a bit nervous.

Not too much.

Because over the past few days, Chen Moqing has grown accustomed to the working style of the two seniors and has roughly understood their group’s positioning in this underground world.

Above average, but not quite at the top.

If positioned among animals in the forest, Chen Moqing thinks a leopard fits their current positioning well.

The strong ones are too lazy to catch them, yet they can still prey on the weak.

As long as they’re careful enough, they can still survive.

"What exactly does that man want us to train for?"

Amidst the shouting and fighting sounds, Chen Moqing looks around.

In the darkness, there is occasionally a glow of red light, but apart from that, everything is empty.

What good is there to train in such a ghastly place?

As the roaring noises from afar draw closer, Chen Moqing silently moves a giant rock he had prepared in advance to the road entrance, ready to seal it once the two seniors rush through.

A dozen seconds later.

"Go!"

As two figures successively rush past Chen Moqing, he uses his strength to block the entrance with the stone and runs away without looking back.

It is a giant stone three meters long and wide.

Yet it cannot completely block.

At most, it can only obstruct them for a moment to buy the three some time.

Indeed.

Before they had run a few miles, the sound of stones exploding echoes from behind, followed closely by the strange screeches of the black rats, and the anger contained in them makes Chen Moqing suspect that this time the two seniors have taken something from them.

Just as Chen Moqing is thinking about this, he feels a tightening around his waist, and then finds himself hoisted onto someone’s shoulder, followed by a round object stuffed into his mouth, not knowing what it is.

It smells quite nice!

"Mm... mmm..."

"Shh, don’t scream, quickly eat!"

"Mm... I..."

"This is a good thing. According to those rats, it seems to be a Phoenix Essence Fruit picked from somewhere, a mysterious fruit only grown in places where a Phoenix cries blood. Not only will it strengthen your body, but it might also awaken fire elemental abilities... Don’t move, just swallow it quickly."

As he speaks, Shi Hao running continues to hold Chen Moqing’s mouth, pinching his neck to help him swallow.

It’s truly violent.

In the midst of the jolting, the three run for an unknown amount of time, before finally seeing a bit of firelight from afar, stopping at the edge of the radiance.

No further ahead.

Places with light are the habitats of the powerful wild beasts. If they rushed in, they would be deemed as provocateurs invading the beasts’ territory and might engage in battle with these ancient wild beasts possessing Peak Realm strength.

"Whew... Hehehe, quite thrilling indeed."

Casually tossing Chen Moqing to the ground, Shi Hao takes off the two vines hanging from his body, and walks to the corner of the red light, lazily stretching his arms to let slivers of the light shine on him.

"No further ahead, the territory ahead belongs to the Fire Flood Dragon. We can’t beat it." Carrying a bundle of vines himself, Wang Lin starts collecting the baby fist-sized fruit from the grouped vines.

"I know, hehe, but don’t worry, senior brother. Give me a few more days, I’m almost ready to break through to the Nirvana Realm. By then, teaming up with you..."

"Even teaming up won’t be enough."

Chen Moqing watches Wang Lin stand up with a handful of red fruits and walk towards him, placing them in front, signaling him to eat.

"We can’t even react to the speed of the Peak Realm. Even breaking through to Nirvana won’t change it, at best you’ll endure hits a bit more without just waiting to die after being crippled by these wild beasts."

Saying so, Wang Lin, seeing Chen Moqing not immediately eating the fruits, slightly furrows his brow, but then softens his expression again, reaching out to rub Chen Moqing’s head.

"Mo Qing, just make do with these for now. Once we’re out, senior brother will take you for some good food."

"Oh."

Without hesitation, Chen Moqing picks up a red fruit and takes a bite.

There’s not much sweetness.

A bit bitter, quite sour.

But it contains plenty of moisture, and also enough Spiritual Power to replenish his body.

As for Phoenix Essence, flame affinity, Chen Moqing feels nothing of sorts.

Chen Moqing isn’t one to fuss.

If it’s not delicious, it’s not delicious. As long as he can eat it.

However, he isn’t used to being taken care of by the two, especially when these ’senior brothers’ risk their lives to bring him goods from the lair of wild beasts, only to feed them to him...

This feeling, Chen Moqing doesn’t know how to describe.

Only knows he doesn’t like it.

A moment passed.

Seems like Shi Hao, bathing in the red light, has finished, and he playfully sits next to Chen Moqing.
