Chapter 390
A pot of turbid wine, a sad song of love, a life of insolence!
A hero walks the world with a sword, lofty sentiments stain the blue sky with blood!
This was a poem that described the glorious life of a legendary ancient god, and it was a fitting description for Xiao Chen, who was on a long journey. However…
Xiao Chen did not bring wine, he only brought a yellow dog that could transform into The Lion King.
Sad Love. If Su Qingyi never woke up, or if she died before Xiao Chen invited the Alchemist Sage, then Sad Love would appear.
Xiao Chen seemed to be very low-key on the surface, but he was extremely arrogant on the inside.
Xiao Chen was not a hero. He did not travel the world with a sword, nor did he have lofty sentiments, but he was using the sword in his hand to fight for his lover!
Ten days had passed since they set off from Blood Sun City. Xiao Chen rode The Lion King for a distance of one thousand kilometers a day, so they had traveled about ten thousand kilometers in ten days. At this moment, they had already reached the northern border of the Death God Tribe.
In these ten days, Xiao Chen and Da Huang rarely entered the cities they passed by. Other than having three meals a day and sleeping for a few hours, the rest of the time was spent on the road. Thankfully, Xiao Chen’s Dantian automatically cultivated the Power of Desolates, so there was no need for Xiao Chen to worry about it. He only needed to focus on the road, and cultivating on the road would not delay either.
When they encountered a city or a village, other than replenishing their rations and drinking water, Xiao Chen and Da Huang basically chose to take a detour. When they needed to enter a city, Xiao Chen would choose to walk, allowing Da Huang to transform into an ugly yellow dog. This way, he would not attract attention. If he were to enter a city in the form of The Lion King, it would cause chaos in the city.
The Slaughter God Tribe bordered the Moonwatch Tribe and the Suntreading Tribe in the north. Xiao Chen could choose to enter any tribe to leave the Slaughter God Tribe because the Fire Spirit City was located in the northern region of the Qilin Kingdom. The Fire Spirit City belonged to the Spirit Beast Tribe, and the Spirit Beast Tribe was the largest tribe in the Qilin Kingdom.
The Fire Spirit was the abbreviation of the Fire Spirit Beast. The Fire Spirit Beast was also known as the Qilin Beast on the Wilderness God Continent. It was the most powerful and auspicious spirit beast among the spirit beasts. This was also the reason why the Qilin Kingdom was named after it split from the Wilderness Divine King Dynasty.
As for why the country’s name was based on this, the reason was very simple. It was because the Qilin Country’s King, Ouyang Tiande, was very fond of and revered the powerful Qilin beast. He regarded the Qilin beast as the national beast and thus named the country Qilin Country.
Spirit beasts actually still belonged to the wild beasts, but they were the royal family among the wild beasts. For example, Da Huang belonged to a kind of spirit beast. The White Tiger King and the Black Panther King were also spirit beasts. It could be said that any wild beast above the sixth level could become a spirit beast. Spirit beasts had the intelligence of ordinary people, so they were distinguished from the lower level wild beasts by humans.
On this day, Xiao Chen and Da Huang entered the periphery of the mountains at the junction of the Slaughter God Tribe and the Moonwatch Tribe. This large stretch of endless mountains had a name, and that was the Hundred Thousand Mountains. As for whether there were a hundred thousand mountains, no one knew. Anyway, there were countless mountains, so people simply called this large mountain range the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Xiao Chen stood on a small hill and looked up. He found that the Hundred Thousand Mountains were endless. Even the distant horizon was the shadow of the mountains. He couldn’t help but frown, and then he relaxed. He said to The Lion King beside him, “Da Huang, let’s eat some food first and then hurry on with our journey. We will strive to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains within ten days and enter the Moonwatch Tribe!”
“No problem, Big Brother, just look at my ability. Haha!
Oh, I’m hungry. Hurry up and take out the barbecue for me to eat. “Da Huang confidently transmitted his voice. He didn’t put the Hundred Thousand Mountains in his eyes at all.
When it came to the barbecue, its pair of small lantern-sized golden eyes immediately lit up, and there were signs of saliva flowing out of its bloody mouth. Its expression was like the expression of a greedy yellow dog. In addition to the fact that it could transform into a yellow dog, people really suspected that it was the crystallization of a yellow dog and a lion.
“Da Huang, why don’t you transform and shrink first to remind me?
Otherwise, a barbecue chicken won’t even be enough to fill the gap between your teeth. Haha! ”
Xiao Chen looked at the huge mountain like The Lion King and smiled to remind him. He then took off the food package on his back, put it on the ground, and opened the package. Suddenly, more than a dozen roasted chickens and ducks appeared in front of Xiao Chen and Da Huang.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, Da Huang transformed into a small yellow dog. He then pounced over and opened his mouth to pick up the largest roasted duck. He ran to the grass at the side and sat down. After that, he wolfed down the roasted duck. In just a short while, a roasted duck that weighed about two catties had entered his stomach.
After finishing the roasted duck, Da Huang wasn’t satisfied. Obviously, he wasn’t full yet. He looked at Xiao Chen, who had just picked up a roasted chicken. He was a little embarrassed and transmitted his voice: “Big Brother, I want to eat more.”
Swish! Swish!
Swish! Xiao Chen directly grabbed two roasted chickens and a roasted duck and threw them at the expectant Da Huang. He pretended to be angry and said, “Da Huang, eat as much as you want. What’s there to be embarrassed about? You can even finish all of them. If it’s not enough, Big Brother will hunt some wild beasts and roast them for you. Remember, we are brothers. We don’t have to be so particular. Do you understand?”
“Ah?
Big Brother, I said something wrong. Can I eat one more roasted duck as punishment?
Haha! ”
Big Yellow was slightly taken aback, but he immediately reacted and took the initiative to admit his mistake. Towards the end of his sentence, he started to act strangely again. He looked like a complete gangster and scoundrel dog. Where was the majesty of a lion king?
“Here!”
Without another word, Xiao Chen grabbed another fragrant and fat roasted duck and threw it to Da Huang.
Da Huang opened his mouth and caught it with lightning speed. He then stopped talking to Xiao Chen and continued to fight with the roasted meat on the ground.
“Hehe.”
While eating the roasted chicken, Xiao Chen looked at Da Huang’s crazy eating manner with interest. A gentle smile appeared on his cold face, but he sincerely thanked Da Huang in his heart. “Da Huang, my life was saved by you, twice. Not to mention roasted meat, I won’t hesitate to die for you. We will be best brothers forever.”
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Chen and Big Yellow were full. The man and the dog sat on the soft grass and rested. This was their habit. After eating and drinking, they would rest for an hour before continuing on their journey.
The two brothers didn’t talk. Da Huang simply closed his eyes and took a nap.
Xiao Chen didn’t close his eyes to rest. He thought about his grandfather, Su Qingyi, Zhu Qingmei, and Liu Ruyue. His expression was sometimes happy, sometimes painful, sometimes happy, and sometimes sad. It was very complicated.
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen stopped thinking about his family. Instead, he thought about his own strength. The day before yesterday, when he was on the road, Xiao Chen’s cultivation broke through to the second level of the Blood Bear Realm. His strength had improved a lot. As long as he could reach the third level of the Blood Bear Realm, which was the lowest requirement of his grandfather, Xiao Chen could go to Desolate City to find his grandfather, Xiao Batian.
However, even if his cultivation broke through to the third level of the Blood Bear Realm in a few months, Xiao Chen couldn’t immediately find his grandfather. This was because he had to find and invite one of the two alchemist sages to treat Su Qingyi, who was in a vegetative state. People in a vegetative state couldn’t eat. They could only be fed with some elixirs to maintain their lives. It could be dangerous over time.
Xiao Chen didn’t pay much attention to the Dantian that was cultivating the Power of Desolates. He only needed to pay attention to the two blobs of blood-colored energy to see if there were any changes. However, if the blood-colored energy really did harm to Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen had no way of stopping the blood-colored energy’s destruction.
