Chapter 1340 1340: So Hungry!
"Perhaps!"Qin Feng sniffed the fragrant wild game and said, "But if it does attract them, that's great. This is our territory; when have we ever been afraid of outsiders?"
"But, Sister Lin said their strength seems quite strong, and you've only partially recovered..." Ning Tingxue was still a bit worried.
"No matter, we can't let that group act arrogantly here." Qin Feng shrugged and sprinkled some salt and pepper onto the wild game. The aroma intensified and filled the cold, icy air, making even the heavens drool.
Ning Tingxue remained worried as the wild game was caught in the North Country Forest Mountain, comprised of little spiritual beasts. Their scent could travel miles in the clear air and would soon be discovered...
On the mountain peak.
The snow-covered Bing Chenzi and Little Jue remained motionless.
But Bing Chenzi's brows were deeply furrowed, increasingly concerned about an incident.
He was at the Saint Level.
He could clearly sense a group of people moving towards the mountain top, about two or three hundred meters away. They seemed to have very powerful detection devices. If they got closer, they would surely detect him using his power here!
Although he didn't fear them, once they fought, the remaining array of the Seven Stars Formation would completely collapse, and the Ksitigarbha Demon would be unleashed!
"Damn it! It's all Qin Feng's fault!!"
Sweat dripped from Bing Chenzi's forehead.
Beside him, Little Jue whispered, "Grandpa, should I go out and deal with them?"
"No, you're not a match for them."
Bing Chenzi sighed.
"Then what should we do?"
Little Jue asked again.
Bing Chenzi quickly gestured for her to keep quiet, as he had sensed that the group had already reached the peak!
At the slightest hint, it would all be over!
At this moment, on the peak.
"I'm exhausted!"
After climbing to the top, everyone was panting heavily.
Even though they were masters, top experts,
They had been searching in this area for a long time. They assumed it would be an easy task, but it turned out to be time-consuming. Here, there wasn't even any food, and they had been hungry for a while.
"I miss yesterday's rabbit bones, I wonder who roasted them, even the leftover bones smelled great."
One person slumped on the ground, rubbing his rumbling stomach.
Another person scoffed beside him, "Those were obviously someone else's leftovers. Isn't it shameful for you, a dignified Nine-star Knight, to eat leftovers?"
"Tsk, it's only because you couldn't outcompete me last night."
The person replied.
The three leaders, the Great Mage, Quasi-Saint Knight, and Quasi-Saint Boxer, were also exhausted.
The Boxer said gloomily, "Hurry and use the compass to detect!"
The Great Mage was about to conduct a detection, but was stopped by the Quasi-Saint Knight, who also sat down, saying, "Let's wait a bit longer. If there's nothing after the detection, we'll have to head to the next site, so we might as well rest a bit here first."
The Great Mage insisted, "We've been here for a long time. The task is urgent. I heard that Hua Country's Dark Department's Lin is searching too. If she finds it, how will we report back? Can you bear the responsibility?"
"..."
The Quasi-Saint Knight and the Quasi-Saint Boxer exchanged glances and reluctantly said, "Five minutes, let's rest for five minutes before detecting. Is that okay?"
Nearby.
Behind the snow-covered Bing Chenzi and Little Jue.
Bing Chenzi heard they would start detecting in five minutes and didn't know what to do.
Are they really unable to guard the Ksitigarbha Demon?
Damn it...
Just then,
The Quasi-Saint Boxer suddenly said, "Huh? Why does this pile of snow look odd? Why is there such a large heap of snow on the peak?"
"Oh no!"
Bing Chenzi's heart skipped a beat as he heard the Quasi-Saint Boxer slowly approaching.
Little Jue also tensed up, ready to strike at any moment.
Just as the Quasi-Saint Boxer was about to brush away the snowdrift, and Bing Chenzi was preparing to act, a breeze blew by, carrying a peculiar scent. Someone caught a whiff and suddenly exclaimed, "Quick, look over there!!"
"What happened?? Did you discover Man of Extreme's traces??"
The Quasi-Saint Boxer, along with the Great Mage, the Quasi-Saint Knight, and others, all turned their gaze.
"No, it's not that. I smelled roasted meat. At first, I thought it was an illusion, but it's real!"
Excitedly, the person pointed downhill.
Although the mountain peak was high, and normal people would see nothing more than ants from up there, these were top-tier experts. Their extraordinary vision immediately picked out three people grilling meat at the foot of the mountain!
Just a whiff made it seem as if they could taste that delicious, savory meat.
Instantly.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow continuously, including the Great Mage, the Quasi-Saint Knight, and the Quasi-Saint Boxer, who was about to brush off the snowdrift.
"How about… we send someone to fetch that roasted meat?"
Someone suggested.
"Sirs, I'd be willing to make the trip!"
Not waiting for a reply, someone immediately started rushing downward!
Seeing this, others hurriedly said, "I'd also be willing to make the trip for you!"
They instantly dashed down the mountain.
In the blink of an eye.
The mountain peak only had the three leaders remaining: the Great Mage, the Quasi-Saint Knight, and the Quasi-Saint Boxer.
All three had their eyes twitching with anger.
The Quasi-Saint Knight angrily said, "This group of rascals is more unruly than ever. I'm going to teach them a lesson!"
"Yes, they need some disciplining!" The Great Mage headed down too.
Only the Quasi-Saint Boxer remained, snorting coldly, "You two are just afraid of the roast meat getting finished, right?"
Saying this, he also went down.
In the snowdrift, Bing Chenzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That was close..."
"Yeah, we almost got exposed." Little Jue blinked and said, "By the way, who's roasting the meat? It smells so good! I can smell it even through the snow pile..."
As she spoke, she wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.
"Hmph!"
Bing Chenzi's face grew aloof, angrily saying, "That damn Qin Feng, leaving me trapped here, it's been ages since I've had meat..."
…
Down the mountain.
Qin Feng, Ning Tingxue, and Sister Lin, now dressed, were savoring the roasted meat. Initially, Ning Tingxue and Lin were worried that Qin Feng's actions would attract those overseas people, but as soon as they started eating, they were utterly immersed in the aroma of the barbecue.
Seeing how ravenous the two were, Qin Feng chuckled and said, "Looks like the meat turned out well. But you should watch out; the battle might start soon."
"A battle? What battle??" Lin asked while eating.
Just after she spoke.
Suddenly, a large group of people rushed down the hill!
"Damn it! It's the Black Hawk Group!" Lin's brows furrowed as she quickly finished her last bite.
Soon.
The group swiftly descended, recognized Lin, and burst into laughter, "So it's Hua Country's Dark Department's Lin. We've been looking for you too. Seems like killing two birds with one stone!"
As they spoke, their eyes were fixed on the bone Lin had just finished gnawing, unable to help wiping the drool from their mouths...
