Chapter 2288: Recruitment
"The other two?" She leaned against the trees and shook the wine gourd in her hand gently. With her eyes squinted and her voice absent-minded, she was like a cat basking in the sun in the afternoon, filled with a languid air.
She looked at the devilry cultivator with a weird smile and answered him unhurriedly. "They are dead."
Hearing this, the devilry cultivator"s eyes shrank. "Did you kill them?"
Feng Jiu took a sip of wine. "No, they died under the claws of ferocious beasts. I saw them being torn to pieces by a group of fierce beasts and their bones were all gnawed away."
As soon as she uttered this answer, the people around held their breaths and looked at the man in azure. Those two devilry cultivators were dead? Then, how did he manage to come back alive?
According to what he said, he was not far away when the two devilry cultivators were besieged and ripped to pieces by a group of ferocious beasts? When they thought of this, everyone"s expression changed. Their probing and measuring gazes were fixed on the man in azure.
When the devilry cultivator heard this, he couldn"t help but feel frightened and took a few steps back. He initially had thought to stir up trouble to teach the young man a lesson, but now he had some hesitation.
He stared at the young man for a long time. Seeing that the young man looked calm and leisurely with a languid air all over his body, neither surprised nor afraid as if he had no care in the world. Thus, the devilry cultivator withdrew quietly and didn"t dare to do anything to the young man.
Feng Jiu stood leaning against the big tree, her gaze sweeping the crowd quietly with half-squinted eyes, taking a panoramic view of their looks. Her eyes fell on the cultivator whom she had taken a fancy to a few days ago.
This immortal sacred cultivator was filled with a ferocious aura and had a tough and st.u.r.dy build. Such a man should be recruited to be her subordinate, but she still had no chance to make him submit.
Instead of recruiting them separately, it would be better to let them look for her.
With this idea in mind, she sat cross-legged under the tree, took out a barbecued leg from the s.p.a.ce, ate meat and drank wine with contentment.
When the cultivators around smelled the meat, they couldn"t help moving their gazes to the man in azure. When they saw the scene, the corners of their lips twitched.
Was this person intentional? They hadn"t smelled meat for months but he sat there eating meat accompanied with wine. They couldn"t help gulping their saliva.
They tried their best from looking at him, but the rich and dense aroma of meat filled the air, making them take a deep breath involuntarily. However, the more they smelled the meat, their bellies that felt not much hunger earlier had now growled loudly.
At the sound of their drumming bellies, although everyone had a straight face, many of them still looked embarra.s.sed. They were once reckoned to be one of the best, but now they lose face just because of a lump of barbecued leg meat.
In front of so many people, they felt very embarra.s.sed to put aside their pride to s.n.a.t.c.h food. So, those devilry cultivators and evil cultivators had gloomy faces. Their eyes were staring gloomily at the contented Feng Jiu. They were all thinking of looking for a chance to kill this kid. They believed that there must be food in his s.p.a.ce!
"I"m going to start a team. Are any of you interested?" Feng Jiu asked directly with a glance at those cultivators.
