Chapter 371: Sect’s Voice Transmission
“What are you eating? I want some too!”
After finishing the bear paw, and with the beef brisket undone, Nalan Xinxin turned her gaze to the meat stick in Victor’s hand.
Nalan Xinxin was too young and inexperienced, so she did not know what the tiger whip actually was. She was not like the others, who quietly waited for the beef brisket and did not even look at Victor.
It was inevitable. Even someone like Leng Wuyou, who had never been picky with food, found it hard to accept something like the tiger whip…
“You want to eat it? You want me to share it with you?”
“Sure, sure!”
“Ahem… Xinxin, you can’t eat this thing.”
“Eh? Why?”
“It’s not easy to explain. In short, you can’t eat it.”
Nalan Lengling’s face was slightly red. Her vague words could not stop the craving in Nalan Xinxin’s stomach. She took the tiger whip and took a bite.
“Isn’t it delicious? It’s tender and smooth. It’s not worse than bear paws. Sister, try it.”
“I’ll pa.s.s. You eat it.”
Nalan Lengling was surprised at Nalan Xinxin’s amazing appet.i.te. She looked at Victor who kept eating and asked curiously, “Are you very hungry?”
“Yes… Ever since I ate the Blood Burning Pill, my body feels very empty. I can’t eat my fill no matter how much I eat.”
After eating a tiger whip that was about a meter long, Victor ate more than half of the beef brisket. However, the hunger did not subside at all, which made Victor feel slightly puzzled.
Ever since he started fasting, Victor rarely felt this kind of hunger.
“Strange… I clearly didn’t do anything… could it be that my qi and blood power have improved again? But it doesn’t make sense. First, I didn’t make a breakthrough, and second, I didn’t exhaust myself. What’s the reason?”
Puzzled, Victor decided not to think too much. After all, the place was full of delicious food. He would think about it after he was full.
Just like that, under everyone’s astonished gazes, Victor ate another cow leg, a pair of the back legs of the stubborn stone clam, and half of the lamb chop from the electric horned rock lamb. Finally, he stopped eating.
“Hmm… I’m just half full now. Strange, when did I have such a large appet.i.te.?”
Victor’s body shape did not change much, and his cultivation had not broken through. Victor suddenly became curious, where did all the food he ate go?
“w.a.n.g… w.a.n.g Cheng, are you okay?”
Lian Hua poked Victor’s stomach, but there was no change.
“I just ate a little too much. What can happen to me?”
Victor did not know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and turned to look at Nalan Lengling. He asked in puzzlement, “Senior sister, do you have any idea about my sudden increase in appet.i.te?”
“It’s hard to say. It could be a side effect of the Blood Burning Pill, or it could be that your qi and blood power has begun to transform. There are many reasons. As for the specific reason, we can only wait and ask master when we go back.”
“Okay.”
Victor nodded. Only then did he realize that he had been eating until dawn.
“In that case, let’s get ready to set off,” said Nalan Lengling.
“Senior sister, are you really not going to the source of the beast tide to take a look?”
“Haven’t we already discussed this? Ignore this beast tide and complete the talisman edict.”
“I know. I’m just asking.”
Victor curled his lips. Just as he was about to leave, a familiar voice came from his chest.
“w.a.n.g Cheng, w.a.n.g Cheng, can you hear my voice transmission?”
“Master? What happened?”
“Do you know where Nalan Lengling is? I can’t contact her.”
“Master, senior sister is with me. If you have anything to say, just tell me.”
“That’s good too. It’s like this. A mountain treasure has appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountain. The sect has decided to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion. The disciples of the other four elders have already left for the Hundred Thousand Mountain. You and Nalan Lengling will also go there immediately.”
“Master, we’re already in the Hundred Thousand Mountain, and we’re not too far away from the mountain treasure.”
“Why are you in Hundred Thousand Mountain? Forget it, none of this matters. How many people are there in total?”
“Eight people. Apart from me and senior sister, there’s also w.a.n.g Cui and our friends from the outer sect.”
“The outer sect… is too weak… How about this, you let w.a.n.g Cui lead the team and lead the other five people back the way they came. You and Nalan Lengling are responsible to understand the situation.”
“Master, I’m afraid that won’t do. We came to the Hundred Thousand Mountain to complete a grade one talisman edict.”
Victor sighed softly and tactfully rejected.
“If this mission can be completed, I’ll count it as two grade one talisman edicts. Each of the eight of you will receive a reward. In addition, you won’t be punished for failing the talisman edicts you’ve received.”
“Thank you, master. I’ll go with senior sister to investigate the situation. If something happens, I’ll inform master immediately.”
After saying this, Victor cut off the supply of spiritual power. Then, he turned around and looked at Nalan Lengling with a smile.
“Senior sister, it’s hard to disobey master’s orders.”
“In that case, there’s no other way. w.a.n.g Cui, are you confident in bringing them back to the sect?”
“Senior sister, what do you think? I’m only a foundation establishment cultivator…”
“What should we do…”
The biggest problem now was that they had already arrived at the central area of the Hundred Thousand Mountain. If they wanted to return to the Fire Sect, they would have to pa.s.s through the mountain where the bandits gathered. With the cultivation base of six foundation establishment cultivators, they were basically food for them.
“How about this, senior sister, you ride the flying crane and send them back. I’ll stay here and wait for you.”
“But, the flying crane can’t sit seven people.”
“Sigh, isn’t this simple? Haven’t you heard of the Indian third brother[1]?”
“What third brother?”
“You’ll know soon.”
Victor waved his hand and gestured for the flying crane to come over. Seeing this scene, Nalan Lengling chuckled. She was just about to inform Victor that the flying crane had followed her for many years and had always ignored the orders of others.
However, in the next second, Nalan Lengling words slapped her face.
The flying crane immediately flew to Victor’s side and used its head to rub against Victor’s chest in a flattering manner.
“Sorry for making you go through this. In this situation, you’ll ride on the flying crane, hold Nalan Xinxin, and let my sister hold Lin Zihui. As for the three men, just hook them with its claws. With the flying crane’s speed, it will take three days tops to leave the Hundred Thousand Mountain.”
“No, the flying crane won’t be able to hold on. It needs to rest too.”
“This…”
Victor thought that his method was perfect. Who would have thought that the flying crane was so unreliable?
“I have another idea. Senior sister, did you bring the Turtle Breath Pill?”
“I did bring it… Are you planning too…”
“Yes, although the storage ring can’t store living things, after taking the Turtle Breath Pill, a human can enter the storage ring.
“Although the effect is only for one day, we can let them take it every other day. Although it’s a little depressing, it’s better than crossing the Hundred Thousand Mountain, isn’t it?”
“Now that things have come to this, we can only do this…”
Nalan Lengling turned around and asked for everyone’s opinion. No one rejected the unexpected matter. Lian Hua obediently sat on the spot without saying a word.
