Eternal Dragon Emperor Chapter 20 20: Drilling Wood for Fire

Ye Tian knew the danger, but he was prepared. The mont the Gale Wolf unleashed its Wind Blade, he leaped with all his might toward another large tree.

'All Ye Feifei felt was worry, nothing but worry. Ye Tian is too bold! To think he'd choose such a thod. Anyone else would have been scared stiff long ago.'

Ye Tian made this decision because he had spotted a branch on the opposite tree that was just within his grasp. He was very confident in his judgnt of timing and distance.

BOOM! The Gale Wolf's Wind Blade struck the tree, causing the entire trunk to shake. A massive hole appeared where it hit. One more strike like that, and the tree would be snapped in two.

After successfully grabbing the branch, Ye Tian quickly climbed toward the top. This tree was already very close to Ye Feifei's position.

On the ground, the Gale Wolves let out furious howls when they saw their prey had moved. The ear-piercing cries shot straight to the sky.

Ye Tian kept moving, successfully reaching the tree where Ye Feifei was hiding. The Gale Wolves shifted their position as well, completely surrounding the new tree.

"Ye Tian, you scared to death just now! What if you missed the branch and fell? How can you be so reckless?" Ye Feifei said as she looked at him.

"I wouldn't do sothing I wasn't sure about! See? Everything's fine now, right? Don't worry! It's not too safe here either. We should climb to the top of the tree first!" Ye Tian said with a laugh.

Seeing the sweat on Ye Tian's forehead, Ye Feifei knew he must have been nervous too, but she chose not to point it out.

The two of them quickly climbed to the treetop and found a huge branch to sit on. The Gale Wolves on the ground were dumbfounded, circling the base of the tree endlessly.

A few Gale Wolves even shot Wind Blades at the tree, but they had already lost their chance. If they had attacked Ye Tian while he was in the air, they might have had a chance of hitting him.

This tree was a hundred ters tall. No matter how powerful the Wind Blades were, they couldn't reach that far.

Ye Tian and Ye Feifei sat quietly in the tree, while the Gale Wolves lay on the ground, waiting. It was as if they were thinking, 'You'll have to co down eventually! If you don't, you'll just starve to death.'

"Ye Tian, it looks like these things are planning to wait us out. We have to find a way to get out of here, or we'll starve to death!" Ye Feifei said.

Ye Tian knew exactly what Ye Feifei ant. In truth, he was also racking his brain for a way to escape.

"If my Power Realm were as high as yours, maybe I could fight them. For now, all we can do is wait! At least we didn't drop the wolf leg! It can last us for two days," Ye Tian said with a wry smile.

"We're not going to eat it raw, are we? I can't do that. I've never eaten raw food in my life," Ye Feifei said, dismayed.

"There are plenty of dead branches on this tree. We can roast it! I can't believe you're being so picky when we're in such a dangerous situation!" Ye Tian laughed.

"I'm not afraid as long as you're by my side. I believe we'll get out of here!" A touch of vulnerability appeared in Ye Feifei's eyes.

"Wait here. I'll go get so dead branches. It's not like these Gale Wolves are leaving anyti soon!" After saying that, Ye Tian started searching for dead branches right there on the large tree.

Roasting at in a tree was a first for Ye Tian. Before long, he returned with an armful of dead branches.

Ye Feifei was deeply touched. 'It was already difficult to move around in the tree, yet not only had he held onto the wolf at, but he was also trying to figure out how to cook it for her.' Unconsciously, her affection for Ye Tian grew a little more.

"Feifei, did you bring any flint and steel?" Ye Tian asked, setting down the dead branches.

"Flint and steel? I never carry that kind of thing. How are we going to start a fire without it?" Ye Feifei realized at once that eating roasted at was going to be very difficult.

Ye Tian closed his eyes and thought for a mont before saying, "I have a way even without flint and steel, but it'll take so ti. Wait for a bit!"

After speaking, Ye Tian left again. A mont later, he returned with so dry leaves in his hand.

"What are you going to do with those dry leaves? Don't tell you can start a fire with them?" Ye Feifei asked, confused.

"Give your sword. I'm going to try an old-fashioned, primitive thod!" Ye Tian said with a grin.

Ye Feifei was filled with curiosity. She watched to see how Ye Tian could possibly start a fire. 'It seems utterly impossible.'

Ye Tian selected a smooth, dead branch and used the sword to sharpen its tip. He then carved a hole in another, thicker dead branch and placed the dry leaves on it.

"It'll just be a mont! Heh heh!" Ye Tian chuckled.

Then, Ye Tian placed the sharpened stick into the hole and began to rub it back and forth rapidly. He was drilling wood to make fire.

Ye Feifei understood at once. "Ye Tian, you're so clever! To even think of drilling wood to make fire, that's amazing!"

The two of them talked and laughed in the giant tree, completely forgetting about the ferocious Gale Wolves watching them covetously from below.

Ye Tian circulated his Dragon Spiritual Power and frantically rubbed the stick in his hands. Soon, it began to smoke, and then a small fla appeared.

The fla imdiately ignited the surrounding dry leaves. He had successfully made fire by drilling wood.

"Alright, now we can roast the at! Even without any seasoning, I'm sure this will be a delicious al—a one-of-a-kind delicacy!" Ye Tian said.

Then, Ye Tian cut the wolf at into several pieces, skewered them on prepared branches, and a treetop barbecue began.

"It slls so good! Ye Tian, I've never had such an interesting and exciting barbecue. Thank you!" Ye Feifei said with a smile.

"Eat up! We need to recover our strength. We still have to figure out a way to get out of here," Ye Tian laughed.

After eating the roasted at, the two began to chat. Ye Feifei knew more about the world than Ye Tian did, and as they talked about everything under the sun, Ye Tian learned quite a few useful things.

"Next year is Lisha City's triennial family competition. The top five will get to go directly to Linyuan Academy for their Cultivation. It's a place countless people dream of going," Ye Feifei said.

"Linyuan Academy? Sounds pretty impressive! You want to get in too, right, Feifei?" Ye Tian asked.

"Of course. At Linyuan Academy, you get the best conditions for Cultivation. Their Spirit Stones and Martial Skills are all top-notch—except for the Celestial Dragon Academy in the Imperial City, of course," Ye Feifei said with a smile.

"There's also a Celestial Dragon Academy? That must be a place only mbers of the Royal Family are qualified to enter, right?" Ye Tian asked curiously. 'This Ye Feifei really knows a lot.'

"More than half the students at Celestial Dragon Academy are from the Royal Family, but there are others there too. Those people are all the most outstanding in both talent and strength! It's basically impossible to get into Celestial Dragon Academy. I'll be perfectly happy just to get into Linyuan Academy," Ye Feifei said with a smile…
