Chapter 561 Barbecue
Zhang Yan ignored these people at all and kept sitting there cross-legged, calmly closing his eyes and concentrating.
Soon everyone had set up the tents and lit the fire, and the hunters also came back with their prey. Some caught hares and wild boars. In short, they were all very delicious beasts when roasted. These are only the lowest beasts, so they are the most numerous and the easiest to catch.
Everyone gathered around happily roasting meat and drinking wine. They talked and laughed together. They felt very happy. The atmosphere seemed to be harmonious. Everyone was laughing very happily. Zhang Yan looked at everyone and felt that He was in a very happy mood. Once upon a time, this was the life Zhang Yan wanted most.
But now everything has changed. In this world, only strength is king. Without strength, everything is in vain. Everything is based on strength. Although these people are enjoying these fast times , but once they encounter any danger, their weak cultivation will not even have the strength to protect themselves, and they can only be at the mercy of others. This kind of passive thing is not what Zhang Yan wants to see.
Although Zhang Yan envied their current state, he didn't want to be like them, because Zhang Yan was burdened with too many things. He had to work hard to practice so that he would have enough strength to protect the things he cared about, and at the same time also Let yourself live long enough so that you can find his parents.
Zhang Yan doesn’t want to be inactive for the rest of his life. Since he has chosen this path of cultivation, Zhang Yan will keep going and reach the top, reach the peak that everyone wants to reach, and reach the legendary Immortal Emperor. When the time comes, everything will be under his control, and that will be the real turning of one's hands into clouds and rain.
At this moment, Zhang Yan felt that his thoughts were clear, and his whole soul seemed to have been sublimated. Zhang Yan felt that his soul power had improved a lot again. Although his cultivation level had not improved, Zhang Yan felt that his soul power had improved a lot. The power has improved a lot, but the improvement of soul power is more difficult than the improvement of cultivation. Not only that, the white soul seed in Zhang Yan's consciousness suddenly sprouted.
Zhang Yan had never paid attention to his sea of consciousness before, but this time Zhang Yan noticed that the soul seeds in his sea of consciousness had sprouted. Zhang Yan felt strange for a while, but he didn't know what was going on.
Even Jingxinlian doesn't know what is going on with Zhang Yan's sea of consciousness. It has never seen such a strange sea of consciousness. However, since Zhang Yan's soul power has increased, it proves that it is against Zhang Yan's soul. It was good, Zhang Yan didn't care, but let it go. After all, he had been absorbing Zhang Yan's spiritual power. Every time Zhang Yan practiced spiritual power, he would absorb a portion of it. Although Zhang Yan was helpless, he He ignored it, after all, his soul power was always improving, which was a very good thing for Zhang Yan.
The most vulnerable part of human warriors is soul power. Because it is very difficult for humans to practice soul power, soul power skills are particularly precious, especially treasures that can defend the soul, and are even more precious. Zhang Yan's soul power is extremely powerful, and it can also improve with the improvement of his cultivation. This is a huge benefit to Zhang Yan, and it is not too late for Zhang Yan to be happy.
Zhang Yan was feeling his consciousness, and at this time the old man from before smiled and shouted: "Sir, you can come and eat with us. These newly hunted wild boars and hares taste very delicious."
"Elder, what did you ask him to do? Didn't you see that he was practicing there? He doesn't even bother to eat with people like us, so we'd better leave him alone." The third young master snorted and said in a sinister tone: " I don’t know how hard this kid is practicing, he can’t feel any spiritual energy fluctuations.”
Zhang Yan opened his eyes, walked over with a smile, sat next to the old man, and sat around the fire with everyone. The old man handed Zhang Yan a piece of rabbit meat and said with a smile: "Try it." Try our roasted rabbit. It’s spiced with the spices we developed ourselves. The roasted meat is very fragrant. Please try it.”
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I can already smell the aroma here even when I'm sitting far away. It's really the most fragrant barbecue I've ever smelled. You're welcome."
Zhang Yan took the barbecue in his hand as he spoke, but before Zhang Yan could eat it, Xiao Bai on his shoulder jumped up and snatched the barbecue away from Zhang Yan's hand, and stood beside Zhang Yan, taking a big mouthful. When he ate it, he was obviously attracted by the aroma.
Xiao Bai's actions made everyone laugh. Seeing Xiao Bai's cute kitten, everyone couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it. However, as soon as they stretched out their hands, Xiao Bai snorted deeply, scaring the people on the side. He immediately retracted his hand.
Zhang Yan explained with a smile: "I, a novice, don't like others to get close to him. No one can touch him except me."
Everyone didn't say anything after hearing this, but when they saw Xiaobai devouring a rabbit in three or two mouthfuls, and standing there with his tongue sticking out and licking his mouth, with an expression on his face that he still wanted to eat, everyone was immediately stunned. He laughed again and continued to feed the little white rabbit meat.
The old man also thought Xiaobai was very cute, and said with a smile: "Eat, these meat tubes are full. We have hunted a lot of prey, so you can eat more if you like."
Zhang Yan couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous when he saw Xiao Bai's greedy look. He thought to himself, who would have thought that a divine beast, the Yin Yang God-killing Tiger, would follow everyone here to grab barbecue and eat it. If this was spread, no one would believe it.
But Zhang Yan knows Xiaobai’s appetite. If he lets go and eats, these things will not be enough. Even if he comes with these things, he will not be able to eat them. This tiger’s appetite is no joke, so Zhang Yan Someone on the side said in a low voice: "Enough is enough, just eat some. Don't really finish all the meat. So many people haven't eaten it."
"What a joke, can such a kitten eat all this meat?" The third young master on the side snorted and said disdainfully: "If you let him eat freely, I won't believe this evil. If he finishes eating Let’s go hunting again. There’s a lot of game in the woods, so he can’t eat more of it.”
Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he glanced at Zhang Yan, thinking, have you heard what he said? Since there were a lot of people here, Zhang Yan didn’t let Xiao Bai speak in order to prevent Xiao Bai from looking too shocking. However, Zhang Yan understood Xiao Bai’s meaning and couldn’t help but nodded and said, “Since everyone is like this I said it, then just go ahead and eat."
Zhang Yan was not polite after saying this. After all, as a foodie, Zhang Yan couldn't walk away after seeing the delicious food. Zhang Yan also picked up a hare and ate it. The rabbit meat was roasted so that it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside. When you bite into it, oil will burst out of your mouth. Combined with the aroma of the special spices and the unique aroma of the meat, it is really an endless aftertaste.
Zhang Yan and Xiao Bai ate together without any concern for the people around them. Xiao Bai ate very quickly, and Zhang Yan was even faster than him. The two of them seemed to be competing in speed. They were less than ten years old. Two roasted wild boars and a dozen roasted rabbits were all eaten within minutes. After finishing the meal, Zhang Yan patted his belly and said with satisfaction: "It's really delicious."
Since Zhang Yan is a body cultivator, his food intake is also very alarming. These foods will also be converted into the power of qi and blood and stored in Zhang Yan's body. However, the power of qi and blood converted by these foods is relatively small. For Zhang Yan It is of no use at all, so Zhang Yan doesn't eat at all on weekdays, and warriors with high cultivation levels don't need to eat. They eat purely to satisfy their greed.
Xiaobai also patted his belly. After eating so much, Xiaobai's belly didn't bulge at all, and his eyes were still shining, as if he still had something to say.
The people around were completely dumbfounded at this time. They never thought that this man and one beast could be so edible. This was a portion for nearly twenty people, and one man and one beast had eaten them all. The most important thing was this cat. How old are you? It's not as big as a wild boar's head, but it can eat so many things, which is an eye-opener for everyone.
The third young master who had spoken before was also stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Yan and this kitten to be so edible. He couldn't help but waved his hands and said, "What do you think I'm doing? Why don't we go hunting quickly? Otherwise we can Are you hungry at night?”
After hearing the words, everyone walked towards the forest. Since they were all innate warriors, it was very easy to catch some wild animals. After a while, everyone came back. This time they caught four wild boars, two of them. After carrying more than a dozen hares back, we will continue to barbecue. This time we will ensure that there is enough to eat.
Xiao Bai had been staring at the barbecue grilling on the fire. He had eaten it raw before, but now he realized that it tasted better when grilled. It tasted really beautiful.
Zhang Yan looked at Xiaobai on the side, staring at the barbecue without blinking, and couldn't help but said with some contempt: "Look at your worthless look, why don't you stop drooling quickly?"
Everyone felt very funny when they saw Xiao Bai's appearance. After a while, the meat test was finished. Xiao Bai ate big mouthfuls again. Everyone also ate barbecue and chatted together. At this time, the carriage got off. A woman, who only had a relatively low level of physical training, came out and said with a smile: "How is the meat prepared for the lady?"
After hearing this, the third young master immediately handed over the meat in his hand and said with a smile: "This piece of meat is very good. Give it to my sister."
The woman took it with a smile, and then returned to the car. After that, there was no movement in the car.
Zhang Yan said a little strangely: "Isn't the so-called young lady in this car too strange? She never came out? Is it because she looks too ugly? Is she afraid of scaring people when she comes out?"
"What are you talking about? My sister is as beautiful as a fairy, but she just doesn't want to see anyone. If you dare to slander my sister again, be careful that I tear your mouth apart." The third young master immediately stared and was about to take action. If not The elders on the side stopped him, and the third young master was about to take action with Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "I spoke rudely, but I'm just curious."
The old man also smiled and said: "Our young lady is also a martial arts genius. It's just that she likes to be quiet and doesn't want to come out to meet people. In terms of appearance, she is a unique beauty."
Zhang Yan just smiled and nodded when he heard this, thinking that no matter how beautiful he was, how could he be as beautiful as Meier? Can she be as beautiful as Shi Yan? What's more, Zhang Yan has also seen a truly perfect and peerless beauty, that is, the beauty from Meizu, so he is not very interested in the young lady in this car, Zhang Yan.
However, while everyone was eating barbecue, footsteps suddenly came from all around. These footsteps were very neat. When everyone heard it, they all stood up and stood ready with their weapons.
"Protect the goods," the elder said loudly.
After hearing this, everyone immediately moved towards the goods on the side, stood there and looked around, looking around vigilantly.
But Zhang Yan and Xiao Bai still didn't move. The two of them were still eating barbecue. For Zhang Yan, the people who came were not worth mentioning. Zhang Yan had already noticed these people before they got here. The strength of the people was just some warriors with innate cultivation. Only the leading warrior was a warrior in the martial arts realm. Such a realm was simply ants in front of Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan ignored these people at all.
All these people jumped out from the surrounding woods. There were more than thirty people in total. They had an absolute advantage in numbers. Everyone became a little timid for a while. They shook the weapons in their hands with nervous expressions on their faces. Look at the person coming.
The elder looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "I wonder what you guys want to do?"
"What are you doing? This place is the territory of our Wolf Gang. All convoys passing here must pay tolls, otherwise no one will be able to leave here alive," the leader of the man with a scar on his face said fiercely.
The old man smiled when he heard this and said, "How much tolls do you want?"
"Ten thousand spiritual stones for each person, even if you lose one point," the scarred man said very domineeringly: "If you lose one spiritual stone, I will kill each of you."
"Ten thousand dollars?"
Hearing this, the old man said with some embarrassment: "We are also a small business, and these ten thousand spiritual stones are too much, right? Can you please give us some accommodation? After all, we are members of the Liu family."
"Liu family? What's wrong with the Liu family?" The scarred man snorted and said, "Even if the head of the Liu family is here, I won't give him face. Saying ten thousand yuan per person is ten thousand yuan."
"This," the old man was a little embarrassed. Ten thousand spiritual stones for this person were too many, and they couldn't come up with them at all.
