Chapter 802: Chapter 802: Fishing for Spirit Beasts on the Battlefield Chapter 802: Chapter 802: Fishing for Spirit Beasts on the Battlefield Feng Jun was truly getting a bit bored, actually going back to deal with the Spirit Beasts attacking the city walls.
Strictly speaking, after occupying the Pillar of Clouds, one should actively attack those besieging Spirit Beasts, otherwise what’s the point of the pillar’s restraining power?
He pondered for a mont and thought, since the Spirit Beasts are no longer attacking the Pillar of Clouds, then I might as well lure them into attacking.
This idea smacked a bit of a death wish, but being outside the city walls in the vast whiteness, he was genuinely worried that if the wall fell while he was still defending it—it would be a aningless struggle, out of touch with the rest of society.
He felt he needed so combat, to prove he was still participating in this great battle.
As for thods to attract enmity, he didn’t need to be taught—Ji PingAn said, “You mustn’t cook on the city walls!”
Feng Jun took out a bowl of Spirit Rice, placed two pieces of Spirit Beast at on top, heated it in the Earth Plane’s microwave, and then set it on the Pillar of Clouds.
This thing… really worked!
The first to pounce over was a Purple Gold Eagle, incredibly fast, and highly intelligent at that; it didn’t eat cooked food but knew that where there was such a fragrance, there must be Human Cultivators.
It was fast, but Feng Jun was faster, charging at it with a three-slash combination from his sabre.
Although the Purple Gold Eagle was incredibly agile, where could it escape the Mysterious Primordial Saber Technique? It violently flew to the side, at the sa ti stretching out its claws towards the Long Blade.
With that one slash, Feng Jun cleaved off half its claw and also wounded one of its wings.
The Purple Gold Eagle was tricky mainly because of its huge size. Even though Feng Jun had severely injured it, it managed to struggle and fly away, and with a sweep of its wings, it sent Feng Jun flying off the Pillar of Clouds.
However, Feng Jun had a deep mory of the Pillar’s location and swiftly flew back to it, but unfortunately, he lost the opportunity to pursue and kill the Purple Gold Eagle.
What frustrated him more was that with a flap of its wings, not only did it send him flying, but it also knocked the bowl of Spiritual Rice al and the two pieces of Spirit Beast at right off the Yuntai.
Yet, what followed was interesting—the fallen Spirit Rice attracted a swarm of Iron-Eating Ants, but those two pieces of Spirit Beast at were snatched away by two wolf-like Spirit Beasts.
Looking at the Iron-Eating Ants below, Feng Jun felt slightly egg-teng: fighting these creatures wasn’t interesting, and they posed no small risk, a classic example of sothing unessential; even if you call yourselves Spirit Beasts.
However, this discovery expanded his thinking: since that’s the case, I might as well find another way to deal with them.
What was he thinking of? Fishing… that’s right, using food, like fishing for Spirit Beasts.
He first carefully analyzed the requirents, then did a test, and sure enough: the avians in the sky rarely liked cooked food, and those Spirit Beasts that did like cooked food mostly couldn’t reach the Pillar of Clouds.
To verify this guess, he sacrificed quite a bit of Spirit Rice and Spirit Beast at, but… the price paid was worthwhile.
Next, he took out a piece of cooked Spirit Beast at, weighing over a pound, tied it with a steel wire, and let out about ten ters of wire, so the at was less than twenty ters above the ground.
Soon, the aroma of the at attracted omnivorous Spirit Beasts, including the omnivorous Goldflake Rock Sheep and Dryfire Turtle, as well as carnivorous creatures like Sand Lizards—actually, Sand Lizards weren’t fussy and would eat anything.
For them, the piece of Spirit Beast at wasn’t large, but it was still at after all; one Goldflake Rock Sheep even leapt up violently, wanting to snatch the at with its impressive jumping ability.
Feng Jun shook the wire fiercely, causing it to miss, then lowered the Spirit Beast at again.
After three attempts, on the fourth, the Goldflake Rock Sheep jumped up and bit fiercely into the at.
Almost at the sa ti, a deep voice rang out, “Retract~”
Indeed, for Feng Jun, what he was doing now was really no different from fishing, except the mobile phone’s plane was in water and the Earth Plane was on land.
No matter what he caught, he just had to pull the thing over to the Earth Plane.
Gazi and Little Celestial Master had just returned to the Bamboo Forest and were about to sit down to ditate when they heard Feng Jun calling out, “Gazi, Wenji… hurry over and lend a hand.”
The two of them rushed out again, and on seeing the huge creature on the ground, they were sowhat dumbfounded, “Is this… a sheep?”
That was the Goldflake Rock Sheep, which looked not much different from the rock sheep of Earth Realm, except… it was just too large.
In the Earth Realm, a sheep weighing over a hundred pounds was considered big, but this rock sheep was at least a ton and a half; moreover, rock sheep were lean, making them appear even larger than hippos.
“This is the at I’ve prepared for everyone,” Feng Jun quickly brought out a large tub, “Hurry up, catch the blood… while it’s just died, we need to let the blood out fast, or the at tends to sll too strong.”
Thankfully, both Gazi and Little Celestial Master weren’t squeamish about blood, and they quickly began to bleed the sheep, but as they did so slowly, the blood flowed gradually.
Gazi had seen sheep slaughtered back in the county town and couldn’t help but comnt, “This sheep… has too little blood.”
“Isn’t it enough?” Tang Wenji asked curiously, “That’s half a tub already.”
You should know that this is not just an ordinary basin; it’s one that Feng Jun carries with him, capable of being used for bathing outdoors.
Gazi glanced at her, “You didn’t say how big the sheep was… If it were alive, at least this much could have been taken out.”
Tang Wenji looked at Feng Jun, “Brother Jun, can you bring back a live one? If the blood isn’t drained properly, it won’t taste good.”
“You think I don’t want to?” Feng Jun glanced at her, unable to hold back a smile and said, “Be satisfied, being able to get a dead one is already pretty good… Rember, we can’t just give this at to anyone; it’s the genuine Spirit Beast at, an internal benefit for our manor.”
Tang Wenji’s eyes darted around, “That spider just now, was that also a Spirit Beast?”
“Of course it was,” Feng Jun nodded, “otherwise why would Hua Hua be so happy?”
Tang Wenji was taken aback, “Such a big spider, all for Hua Hua?”
Feng Jun looked at her with a blend of laughter and tears, “Would you eat that spider if it were given to you? Eating that spider is beneficial for its cultivation level.”
Gazi perked up when he heard this, “So eating this… sheep at, is it beneficial for our cultivation levels too?”
“Of course it’s beneficial,” Feng Jun replied earnestly, “Previously, we had so little Spirit Beast at that we didn’t feel much eating it, but if we eat it every day… it’s very helpful for improving cultivation levels.”
Right now, what Gazi wanted most was to advance in rank, and Zhang Caixin’s repeated promotions were quite a stimulus for him, “Then, Boss, get more of it, one sheep… I could eat it all by myself.”
“You could eat it all by yourself?” Tang Wenji was genuinely unconvinced this ti, “Could you finish this sheep even if you ate ten pounds a day, in a year?”
Gazi glanced at her, dismissively responding, “This sheep doesn’t even have two thousand pounds of at, want to bet on it?”
“Alright, stop arguing,” Feng Jun interrupted their dispute, handing Gazi a Storage Talisman, “Take the sheep, later find soone to skin and debone it, and quickly get soone to build a cold storage. I’ll think of a way to see if I can bring back more Spirit Beasts.”
“I know how to skin and debone,” Gazi nodded, using the Storage Talisman to stow away the rock sheep, then after pondering for a mont, he asked again, “Brother Jun, this area… it doesn’t lead to an Otherworld, does it?”
He had seen a huge spider appear just a short while ago, and now a huge sheep, both of which didn’t seem like creatures of this world, so he couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild—after all, he enjoyed reading web novels.
“It even leads to the Tang Dynasty!” Feng Jun replied with a mix of laughter and tears, shaking his head, “You’re overthinking it… By the way, don’t let this news out, both of you keep it a secret, and make sure no one else cos over… Well, Teacher i being the exception.”
He had once taken Feng Jing to the Mobile Phone Plane, so he wasn’t worried that she wouldn’t understand; it’s better to forget about the others, though.
However, just as he said no one else should co over, he heard a loud “caw,” and King Crow flew over again.
Crows originally have very keen senses of sll, not to ntion the blood of the dusky gold rock sheep contained a rich concentration of Spiritual Energy.
It was usually quite afraid of Feng Jun, but now it had a big boss, and it had just seen the boss blackmail Feng Jun for a scarily huge spider, so it flapped its wings and brazenly flew towards the big basin of sheep’s blood.
“Get lost!” Gazi raised his hand to shoo it away, “You ran off so fast just now, and now you know to co back to snatch so easy pickings…”
After they had left, Feng Jun didn’t rush into the Mobile Phone Plane but instead sat and ditated for a brief mont to regulate his breath.
Although there were no outsiders in the manor, continuously producing Spirit Beasts like this wasn’t quite appropriate—the disciples might not say anything, but having suspicions in their minds wasn’t good either.
When it was about eight o’clock, and it was getting dark, Feng Jing arrived.
She had gone to work during the day, firstly because she couldn’t always be lazy and miss work, and secondly, because Zhang Caixin was consolidating her realm, and Feng Jing didn’t want to go to the Bamboo Forest; she rather went to her workplace to pass the ti.
When she ca back in the evening and heard that Feng Jun had brought over two Spirit Beasts in a row, she quickly ca to see if she could be of any help.
Seeing her co over, Feng Jun greeted her with a smile, “Since you’re here, you might as well stay; I’m going over there.”
“Wait a mont,” Teacher i hastily said, “Do you want to go with you and help out?”
“That’s a battlefield; you won’t be of any help,” Feng Jun responded with a smile, “You would only be going there to et your end if Cultivators and Spirit Beasts clash.”
Teacher i’s mouth moved slightly, and in the end, she sighed deeply, “Are we really that useless?”
Feng Jun heard that and laughed, “It’s a process that’s needed; you just concentrate on your cultivation…”
The next mont, he made a slight gesture with his hand, and a massive turtle appeared on the clearing.
“What is this…” Teacher i was stunned for a mont, then couldn’t help but laugh and say, “That was quick.”
“Not really quick,” Feng Jun replied as he removed the wire from the turtle, smiling.
“Wasted two pieces of Spirit Beast at just to lure back this guy… but its at isn’t bad to eat. I’ve already got one in my Storage Bag, so you take this one and later put it in the cold storage.”
