Chapter 1928: Chapter 180: The Advantage Is Ours! Strike!
…
Beyond the region.
In a wilderness so distance away from the human defensive zone, four humans were nestled inside a spacious cave.
The cave was deep, seemingly an abandoned nest of so magical beast, and it appeared to have been vacant for a while. Inside, the lighting was dim, and visibility was narrow, save for the flickering firelight from a bonfire in the center of the cave.
Beside the bonfire, the four humans each occupied a side, eating and chatting.
Of the four, one was a man with handso features, distinct contours, and a deanor that was aloof and cold. The other three were young girls, wearing energetic attire in different colors, each radiating youthful vigor with their unique beauty.
These four were naturally Immortal Palace disciple Zhang Huaibing, along with Wang Licui, Wang Ying Xuan, and Lan Wanyi, who had lured him here as a trio.
“I thought the outside would be really dangerous, but it turns out everything went smoothly,” Zhang Huaibing said, as he gathered firewood and tossed it into the fire, speaking with so emotion.
“Dangerous is true for the outer regions, but you should see who’s leading the way,” Wang Ying Xuan said with rightful confidence, “If you observe carefully, you’ll notice that both the defensive zones of the Immortal Dynasty and the fortresses of the Demonic Clan are built on strategic locations. Those places, to be blunt, are ‘key points for military battles’ and naturally perilous. But not every place outside the region is like this.”
“I’ve carefully calculated the route along the way, avoiding all possible marching paths and strategic spots, plus with Aunt Lici acting as a human-shaped magical beast detector, how could we encounter any danger?”
“Senior Brother Zhang, Sister Lici and Sister Yuxuan are truly formidable~ with their combined might as long as we aren’t rushing straight into a battlefield there’s generally nothing to worry about,” Lan Wanyi said with a smile, “These are standard operations, you’ll know more about it as you experience it more in the future.”
The three chatted casually, but Wang Licui did not partake in their conversation, instead she kept her gaze fixed on the current bonfire without blinking.
The bonfire was no ordinary fire, rather a Peculiar Fire she specifically collected for grilling at, with a temperature far beyond ordinary flas.
Even the pit beneath the bonfire, as well as its sides and bottom, were specially lined with Fire Crystal to gather the fire and increase the pit’s temperature.
Suddenly.
She sniffed the air, a smile appeared on her face: “It’s about ti. Co on, put out the fire.”
Hearing this, the other three also bead with joy, and without further ado, they hurriedly helped Wang Licui extinguish the fire. Then, using tools, they casually dug a huge mound of dirt out of the pit beneath the fire pile.
Wang Licui imdiately went to work, eagerly tearing open the mound.
Inside the mound was a magical beast that looked like a bird, with its delicate scales roasted to crisp, easily pulled off with a gentle tug.
As the mound was opened, an unstoppable fresh aroma exploded forth, instantly filling the entire cave.
The four couldn’t help but take a deep breath, enjoying the intoxicating scent.
Of course, a Formation had been arranged at the entrance of the cave long beforehand, or else the aroma could have attracted any magical beasts lurking outside.
“No wonder Old Wu couldn’t forget this taste, the aroma truly is overpowering.” Even Wang Licui, accustod to delicacies, found herself craving.
She had heard about this kind of magical beast from Wu Yinghao, nad the [Peculiar-Eyed Scale Pheasant]. In its juvenile state, it resembles a bird, and the at is said to be quite good, one of the magical beasts that humans can eat. As for the adult form, the at is very gay and not tasty.
She had thought it over at the ti, considering that since it looks like a bird, it should be possible to prepare it as Beggar’s Chicken.
Now, having finally found an opportunity to sneak out, she naturally caught a juvenile to try her idea and see if it tasted good.
As she spoke, Wang Licui had swiftly disassembled the massive bird-like magical beast, giving Wang Ying Xuan and Zhang Huaibing each a piece of wing tip, a single wing tip weighing dozens of pounds.
Both were already craving, and they couldn’t wait to take a bite after receiving it, their eyes lit up imdiately, nodding repeatedly in praise: “Delicious!”
The at had been marinated with spices and salt, and the flavors had thoroughly infused it, not only was there no hint of gaminess, but it was fresh and spicy with a rare fragrance, a distinct taste compared to Fierce Beast at.
Seeing their expressions, Wang Licui knew her thod was spot on, so she called Lan Wanyi to join her in eating.
The [Peculiar-Eyed Scale Pheasant], though edible, was still a magical beast, and even after draining the blood, its flesh still contained difficult-to-remove faint Demonic Qi. Human cultivators could eat it, but not too much, or else the indigestible Demonic Qi residue would affect their cultivation.
Wang Ying Xuan and Zhang Huaibing finished the wing tip and promptly stopped eating, unable to indulge further, rely watching wistfully as the remaining parts were claid by Wang Licui and Lan Wanyi.
Wang Licui and Lan Wanyi were no doubt bloodline devourers; their combat appetite when seriously eating was impressive. Within just a short while, the Peculiar-Eyed Scale Pheasant juvenile was reduced to a skeleton by the two.
Of course, most of it was eaten by Wang Licui.
Afterwards, Wang Licui smacked her lips, still feeling unsatisfied: “Too bad it’s a bit small, barely filled the gap between my teeth.”
