His square face held a deep, still composure, with a hint of worry showing through.
The rich aroma of at wafted across the field.
A beast leg large enough to startle anyone was skewered on a steel spear and roasting over a fire, occasionally dripping fat with a sizzling sound.
Seeing that the skin of the pork had turned golden brown, Zong Shou carefully applied another layer of fragrant oil and sprinkled on so spices, making the delicious scent even more enticing.
The Wild Toothed Pig, weighing over four tons, had been divided into several portions.
At least half was fed to the Horned Cloud Horses nad Stepping Cloud Colts, mixed in with their hay, and they were eating it with great relish.
Only three legs remained, and besides the one currently being roasted, Yiin Yang and Su Chuxue had taken one each, eating until their mouths were dripping with oil.
The forr still maintained so semblance of decorum in his eating, but the latter completely disregarded her image.
It was as if she wished she could swallow the bones and all, munching voraciously and looking at Zong Shou with eyes full of admiration.
“It’s so delicious!
Gulp!
Truly delicious!
Young Master’s roasting skills have improved so much compared to before—” said Chuxue, with her voice muffled by the mouthfuls of at, making it hard to understand without paying close attention.
Zong Shou couldn’t help but smile.
Chuxue was his maid, born of the Tiger Cat branch of the demon clan.
Though she had a beautiful appearance, her nature was greedy and restless.
While she appeared gentle and elegant, like a lady from a noble family, she could hardly sit still for a mont, and this was especially true when eating, always surprising those around her.
Her na, Su Chuxue, suggested a purity and tranquility like the first snow, but apart from her skin being as fair as frost and snow, her temperant and deanor had nothing to do with such a na.
As for the so-called demon clan, according to records from later ages, they were descendants of ancient forebears who, in the fight against the rampaging Alien Barbaric Beasts that terrorized the land, infused their own bodies with the blood of powerful mutant beasts to enhance their combat prowess.
But after the end of that brutal era, these people beca ostracized by humanity and eventually ford their tribe, hence the origin of the demon clan.
Ten thousand years later, this group was nearly extinct, and Zong Shou had only seen them in gas.
He casually sliced off a piece of roasted at with his dagger and ate leisurely.
Then, Zong Shou’s gaze drifted unintentionally back toward the carriage beside him.
“Uncle Yiin, with a great enemy still lurking nearby, isn’t it a bit improper for us to make a fire and halt here?” asked Zong Shou.
Although he had stayed on the carriage for seven days and had not personally seen Yiin Yang Chuxue fight with anyone, the fresh scars and nurous holes that almost penetrated the iron plates of the carriage’s walls were telling.
So spots even had bloodstains, which were quite harrowing.
Clearly, before his arrival in this world, there must have been grave dangers.
For the past two days, the two of them would often leave to hunt, claiming it was rely for ga, but every ti they returned, they were covered with the thick scent of blood—not from beasts, but from humans.
Upon hearing Zong Shou’s concern, Yiin Yang visibly paused, but then continued to eat his at nonchalantly, his voice coolly responding, “Princely Heir, please be at ease.
Within six hundred miles, all has been cleared.
There are only hawks and eagles following day and night.
Whether we make a fire or not does not really matter.
Chuxue and I also need ti to recuperate—”
Zong Shou looked up and indeed saw several small black dots shuttling through the clouds.
His heart sank again, knowing that with these ‘eyes’ in the sky, the enemy could easily track their movent.
Moreover, given the conspicuousness of their carriage, it was virtually impossible to conceal their tracks.
It seed they really were in close proximity to a great enemy, in a situation as precarious as a pile of eggs.
However, what concerned him more at that mont was Yiin Yang’s way of addressing him.
Chuxue called him Young Master, but Yiin Yang called him Princely Heir.
In the demon clan, Princely Heir undoubtedly refers to the successor of the Demon King!
Among the hundred branches of the demon clan, many were unruly and insubordinate.
Being an heir to the Demon King without the strength to fight was almost certain to lead to a dire fate.
Sighing, Zong Shou continued to eat the Wild Boar at in his hand until he was about ninety percent full.
He then felt warm currents moving throughout his body.
Zong Shou stood up straight and moved to a more open area, beginning to exercise his body—bending at the waist, leaning forward, stretching his limbs, reminiscent of popular weight-loss exercises from future generations.
Su Chuxue, having finished her leg of pork, ripped half of another perfectly roasted front leg to eat, and watched curiously.
“You’re practicing those strange poses again, they look so odd and can’t be used to fight.
Young Master, is this sothing you learned from Coastal Academy?
Those Spirit Masters only deceive people, always talking about ‘teaching without discrimination, embracing all under the heavens’—”
Zong Shou ignored her and focused on his movents, ensuring each action was perford perfectly.
The Basic Cultivation thod was not an ancient inheritance but rather a creation by players in the “Divine Emperor” ga.
Its purpose was to guide the body to absorb energy from the outside world and assimilate it for personal use.
Practicing it alongside the Inner Breath Heart thod was greatly beneficial, especially during the basic cultivation stages, potentially increasing efficiency by at least thirty percent.
Zong Shou was one of the originators and developers of this thod.
Before arriving here, he had been studying up to the seventh set of exercises, which unfortunately were not completed before the Cosmic Extre Destiny Book appeared and sparked the battle among the Seven Emperors of the Cloud Realm.
Subsequently, he inexplicably arrived in this world.
At this mont, with each movent Zong Shou completed, a strand of energy would be forcefully guided by him into the Qi Sea within his lower abdon.
