Chapter 85-86
Chapter 85: Mysterious Spirit Beast (Part 2)
The fatty was shocked as he looked at the other side with a surprised gaze, "Really?"
The Blood Wolf's big brother nodded. Remembering the scene in the mountain range, his eyes revealed a deep fear.
The fatty returned to Ye Yu Xi's table with a serious expression.
"Fatty, what did they say?" Qing'er saw the fatty's serious expression and was very curious.
Ye Yu Xi saw the fatty's ugly expression and said in a soft voice, "There is danger in the mountain range?"The fatty drank a mouthful of tea and said in a small voice, "They said they received a mission from the Spiritualist Guild to kill Purple Thunder Monkeys, but this quest's reward was very high, ten times higher than normal. Many mercenary groups were moved by this, but not a single one succeeded. The injuries they suffered were caused by a mysterious spirit beasts they encountered while looking for Purple Thunder Monkeys."
"Mysterious spirit beasts?"
"Un, they don't even know what it looks like, it's speed was very fast."
"Then did they find the Purple Thunder Monkeys?" Ye Yu Xi softly held the chopsticks in her hand and pondered something.
The fatty shook his head and sat at the table for a brief period of silence.
Ye Yu Xi narrowed her eyes. It seems their cultivation trip into the Heaven Mountain Range wouldn't be too lonely!
Eating a few things, their group left the restaurant and headed into the Heaven Mountain Range not far away.
When they approached the Heaven Mountain Range, a strong natural aura could be felt. Perhaps it was because this was the edge and there were usually human activities here, so the air was filled with the rotting scent of dead leaves and corpses.
A cool forest wind blew and this clear air made everyone feel refreshed.
There was an official road into the Heaven Mountain Range. This official road was made over a thousand years ago, so it was relatively safe, but there were a few cases where spirit beasts harmed people.
But at the same time, safety also meant that it was very hard to encounter precious spirit beasts or herbs near the official road.
So unless they were in a rush, mercenary groups did not take the official road. Ye Yu Xi's group was the same, walking a short distance and directly entering the forest.
They walked in the forest for a while. At the beginning there were a few small roads to walk on, left behind by those mercenary groups. After a while, there was only towering trees and plants, and the occasional sound of an insert or bird, or the roar of a beast.
The fatty had a straw hat as he opened the road in front of them. The ice cold blade in his hand kept moving back and forth, cutting the tree vines and plants.
"Fatty, what are you wearing the straw hat for!" Qing'er followed behind the fatty. Seeing the fatty's strange appearance, she was very curious.
The fatty turned around and revealed a smile, "You don't know about this." Pretending to be mysterious, "There are many trees here and if a bird in the tree poops, bringing a hat can block it. This fat master is being thoughtful."
"Che! What being thoughtful. Perhaps there will be a gust of wind that will blow you away." Qing'er thought that it had a special use, but she couldn't help rolling her eyes after hearing what the fatty said. She soon began to tease the fatty.
The fatty looked at Qing'er in an uncaring way and his small slit eyes turned into circles, "This fat master comes from a line of thieves. Wanting me to take out what I stole, eh, other than the boss, if anyone else wants my things, there isn't even a chance!"
"Go and keep bragging! One day your belly will explode from your bragging."
Ye Yu Xi and Bai Jin Yi were walking at the back of the group. Seeing the fatty and Qing'er arguing even louder, they knit their brows, "Be quiet you two and focus on your surroundings. We're almost in the Purple Thunder Monkeys' territory."
"Boss, isn't it just Purple Thunder Monkeys? I can catch one each time I grab out. As long as they dare come, I promise….."
Hua la!
"Be careful!"
Chapter 86: Mysterious Spirit Beast appearing
When the fatty was saying those boastful words, the trees one both side began to shake.
Ye Yu Xi felt a sense of foreboding and gave a warning, but she was still late.
The fatty felt a chill on his head.
Pa.
Something had stepped on his shoulder.
"Who!" The fatty turned around and looked all around, but there were only shaking branches and leaves around him.
Everyone stopped and vigilantly looked around.
Ye Yu Xi coldly looked at the shadows under the trees around them. That figure had been moving too fast and had come too suddenly, so even if it was her, she only saw a shadow. But she could be certain that the figure was not a person because people couldn't be that small.
Their team was surprisingly silent.
Bai Jin Yi was standing at the back and a strange light flashed in his dark pupils. He muttered in a low voice, "That small, could it have been mutated….."
The strange feeling in the air slowly wore down the fatty's patience.
"What is this turtle doing! If you have the skills, this fat master skin you!" The fatty looked out with his little eyes as he loudly cursed out.Ye Yu Xi saw the fatty's serious expression. That mysterious figure had made the fatty lose face in front of her and the others, successfully angering the fatty. Ye Yu Xi quickly reminded, "Fatty! It's only a single straw hat……"
"Humph, humph~~" The fatty spat out and cursed a few times. Although his anger did not disappear, he still did not lose his mind.
Qing'er skipped over to the fatty's side and slapped the fatty's shoulder, "Fatty, it's just a straw hat, you're actually getting serious."
They continued moving forward as their vigilance increased a bit.
After walking for four hours, Ye Yu Xi's group found a relatively flat ground to take a rest. Seeing the traces of a fire on the ground, this should have been cleaned after someone had rested here before.
Qing'er dragged her feet beside the fatty, "Fatty, I'm hungry. Isn't all the dried food with you, take a bit out for me to eat."
"How can I let you eat dried food in the forest. Just wait, I'll be right back." After saying this, the fatty walked into the depths of the forest.
Ye Yu Xi and the other began to plan their next steps. The main reason for coming out this time was to train their wilderness survival skill and as for hunting Purple Thunder Monkeys, it was secondary.
After a while, the fatty came back holding two rabbits.
Qing'er and the others helped with the fire. After walking for so long, even with the support of their internal spiritual energy, even Ye Yu Xi's stomach was feeling a bit hungry.
"Fatty, you also have these skills?" When Qing'er saw the fatty skillfully skinning the rabbit, this was the first time she felt the fatty was not hateful.
The fatty revealed a look of pride, "Of course, this fat master's roasting skills are first class. Thinking of the past….."
Ji, ji, cha, cha! Huo Ling stood on Ye Yu Xi's shoulder in his bird form.
"Fatty, Huo Ling said that if you keep talking about roasting, he will have you treat him to another meal." Ye Yu Xi translated for Huo Ling.
The fatty roasting the rabbit immediately closed his mouth and awkwardly explained, "This…..What is roasting, I have never heard of it before. Don't you think so, Huo Ling? He, he."
Huo Ling turned her little head and did not look at the fatty at all. It chirped a few words to Ye Yu Xi, "Master, I'm going to play." Then it flew off into the sky.
After a few minutes, the rabbit's meat was tender from the fatty's roasting. There were waves of roasted meat's smell that wafted out and raised everyone's appetite, making them drool.
