On the self-cultivation of a foodie

The stewed snake soup is finally ready.

As soon as Jing Lihu lifted the lid of the pot, the scent of the snake soup after adding the seasoning instantly filled the air. Even Xia Jing and Xie Pang couldn't help swallowing, not to mention they were knocking on the bowls and waiting for the soup. Jiang Haiyan.

When Jing Lihu was still making soup just now, Jiang Haiyan had already taken out his big bowl from the storage bag. When other people saw the super bowl in his hand that was bigger than a washbasin, their expressions immediately changed. It's all a little bad.

Jiang Haiyan took a big bowl full of snake soup very calmly, then sat down on a big rock, and drank it leisurely. A grass-eating snake doesn't have much meat, so Jiang Haiyan swallowed the soup after a few mouthfuls. Finished.

Seeing that Jiang Haiyan drank the snake soup cleanly and almost licked the bowl, Jing Lihu heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked Jiang Haiyan with a smile, "How is it? Is the taste okay?"

Jiang Haiyan licked the corner of his mouth: "It's not bad, but it's far worse than my cook."

"Your cook?" Jing Lihu raised his eyebrows.

"...But it's okay, you guys have passed the test."

Jing Lihu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled slightly: "Thank you very much."

"It's just not full yet," Jiang Haiyan rubbed his stomach, "Do you have anything else to eat?"

Xia Jing and Xie Pang, who witnessed Jiang Haiyan eating non-stop all day long: "..."

Jing Lihu said with some regret: "We didn't bring much food. After all, the storage bag has limited space, but I brought a lot of Bigu Dan. Do you need it?"

"Bigudan? I don't want that stuff," Jiang Haiyan was very disgusted, "Let's forget it, let's go back. After I go back, I have to let my cook treat me well." But soon, he remembered that his cook was like this The leader of this martial arts test, unless all candidates pass the test in advance or give up the test, Shen Heqing will stay here for a few days.

While Jiang Haiyan was snorting and drinking the snake soup, Xia Jing and Xie Pang had already picked off their target Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass and put it into the storage bag. There was no companion spirit beast. The Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass became very simple, with almost no difficulty. Of course, if the grass-eating snake was still there, they would definitely have to spend a lot of trouble.

Xie Pang couldn't help looking at Jiang Haiyan with complicated eyes. When he and Jiang Haiyan were assigned to the same team at the beginning, he refused in his heart. After all, Jiang Haiyan made him feel too dangerous. He was vigilant, but he had to admit that teaming up with Jiang Haiyan made their martial arts test go very smoothly... This guy is so strong that he seems to be cheating. Unfavorable times, I'm afraid it's as simple as squeezing two ants to death, right?

Jing Hexian nodded: "Since we have already got the things, let's go back early to avoid any accidents."

Everyone also nodded, Jiang Haiyan also put the big bowl back into the storage bag, patted the ashes on his buttocks and was about to start, but at this moment, a scream came from a distance.

The scream was so sharp that it almost went straight into the sky, piercing the eardrums of Jiang Haiyan and the other sharp-eared demon cultivators.

"What's going on?" Xia Jing was the least courageous, he was startled by that voice.

Jiang Haiyan picked out his ears and frowned slightly: "It seems that someone is calling for help."

"Calling for help? What's going on? Shall we go and have a look?" Xia Jing was a little hesitant. Logically speaking, since everyone is an examinee, it's better for them not to meddle in their own business. Seconds, the result may be one place behind others. Even if the candidate is really in danger, there are guides nearby...

Jing Lihu listened for a while, then suddenly said: "There seems to be something wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xia Jing immediately widened his eyes.

"I heard a lot of noisy voices... It seems that there are many spirit beasts gathered together."

"Come together? Why? Beast tide?" Xia Jing asked in surprise.

Jing Lihu shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it either."

Jiang Haiyan stroked his chin and suddenly said, "Let's go and have a look."

Everyone else was a little surprised, after all, Jiang Haiyan didn't look like a person who would draw his sword to help when he saw injustice.

Jiang Haiyan didn't explain, turned around and crawled towards the direction of the sound. The rest of the people looked at each other and looked at each other. Finally, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and followed.

Soon, a few people came to the edge of a cliff, and under the cliff, there was a small plain full of various spiritual plants.

They have never seen such a dense place of spiritual plants in the forbidden area before. Those strange and various spiritual plants grow in this small plain in a friendly and harmonious way, without invading or disturbing each other. The picture appears calm and full of vitality. But at this time, this peace was completely broken.

A few huge spirit beasts rushed into this small plain like crazy, crashing and rolling around in the originally peaceful small plain, smashing some low-level spirit plants without companion spirit beasts to pieces, and Although those spiritual plants with companion spirit beasts survived temporarily, their companion spirit beasts could not stop the simultaneous attacks of several spirit beasts, and soon several companion spirit beasts were knocked into the air, and several spirit plants Plants were ruined miserably, and a few poor companion spirit beasts were bitten by a large spirit beast and torn in half.

After those large spirit beasts had ruined the spiritual plants, they started chasing the three demon cultivators running in front of them. Obviously, they chased the three demon cultivators all the way to this small plain. Xiu ran wildly, and one of them screamed pitifully from time to time. It seemed that the scream that Jiang Haiyan and the others heard just now was made by this demon cultivator.

After those few spirit beasts, dozens of spirit beasts rushed in. They didn't know what medicine they took wrongly, and they chased and drove away the three demon cultivators together, even the most powerful high-level demon cultivators. , probably didn't have the courage to face the siege of so many spirit beasts, let alone three little monsters who hadn't become spirits for a long time.

"What's going on?" Xia Jing was shocked, "Why did they chase those three people?"

"Could it be that the exam task given to them by the alliance is to steal the eggs of these spirit beasts, but they were unfortunately discovered by the egg's mother when they were stealing the eggs...so they were hunted down by the whole family?" Xie Pang frowned and guessed, "But No... these spirit beasts are not of the same race."

Jing Lihu was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "This is not right."

Xie Pang rolled his eyes: "Even a demon can see that something is wrong." Isn't this nonsense!

"No," Jing Hexian also frowned slightly, and said, "These spirit beasts seem to have been confused."

"Have you bewitched your mind?" Xia Jing was shocked.

Jing Lihu nodded, and he smiled helplessly: "You probably have heard that the racial talent of our fox clan is charm, so I have seen many people who have been confused by their minds since I was a child. It looks like he has been deluded now."

"So that's it!" Xia Jing suddenly realized, "What do you mean, this group of spirit beasts were confused by someone, so they chased and killed those three people together? Who did it?"

"Could it be your clan?" Xie Pang looked straight at Jingli Lake.

"Impossible," Jing Lihu smiled wryly, "Why don't you doubt me?"

Xie Pang said seriously: "At first I wanted to suspect you, but you have been with us all the time and have no time to commit crimes."

"Thank you for clearing my innocence, but it's not me, let alone my clansmen." Jing Lihu shook his head and smiled, "Although the charm technique of the fox clan is world-famous, it can only be done to one person at a time. If people use it, even the most powerful elders of the fox tribe can only confuse three or four people at a time. If our charm technique is so powerful, we would have been driven to death long ago." Their Fox Clan's charm technique is already quite dangerous. If they could control so many people at once, they would have been driven to death by jealous people long ago.

Jiang Haiyan stroked his chin, and asked thoughtfully: "Deceiving people's hearts... Could it be that group of demon cultivators who did it?" Haven't they seen people whose minds were bewitched by demon cultivators before?

"Demon cultivator? It's quite possible." Jing Lihu frowned, "The magic skills practiced by those demon cultivators are all kinds of evil ways. Maybe there really is a magic skill similar to the Fox Clan's charm technique. Since It’s a demon cultivator, so it’s not surprising that he can control so many spirit beasts at once.”

"There is really a magic cultivator?" Xia Jing was shocked, and he soon became worried.

But at this moment, the three demon cultivators who were chased by the spirit beasts had already reached the end of the small plain, and in front of them was the cliff where Jiang Haiyan and the others were standing, and there was no way to escape.

And those dozens of spirit beasts that seem to have been confused, approached the three demon cultivators who were driven to the end step by step. Their eyes were slightly red, and they had big ferocious mouths, showing sharp and Terrible teeth, with flesh and blood remaining in the gaps between the teeth, the three demon cultivators were so frightened that their legs became weak, and one of the demon cultivators gave a long scream and then changed back to its original shape - a big chicken.

While digging his ears, Jiang Haiyan said to Xia Jing and Xie Pang next to him, "No wonder his voice is so loud. It turns out that his original shape is a chicken."

Both Xia Jing and Xie Pang broke down a bit: "That's not the point! The point is that they are dying!"

Do they want to save people?

But the question is, are they saved?

Besieged by dozens of spirit beasts together, and they are all huge spirit beasts, not only low-level spirit beasts but also middle-level spirit beasts, not to mention that they are just little demons who have just become fine, even those I am afraid that the high-level monks will be killed when they come!

However, those three demon cultivators who were on the verge of life and death obviously planned to fight to the death. They all changed back to their original forms and launched a fierce counterattack towards those spirit beasts. The native chicken threw itself at a large spirit beast. Oh, screaming and pecking at the head of that spirit beast...

Several people who witnessed all this fell into silence, while Jiang Haiyan sighed: "What a courageous chicken, a fighting chicken among roosters!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the chicken was slapped and flew far away by the provocative spirit beast.

As for the other two demon cultivators, they were also scumbags with a fighting power of [-], and they were quickly blown away one by one.

After the monster beast at the front slapped the three demon cultivators away, it opened its mouth wide and let out a long roar, and then approached the three demon cultivators who had returned to their original form step by step...

Everyone was worried in an instant, but after Jiang Haiyan condescended to look at the original form of the three demon cultivators, he suddenly licked the corner of his mouth and said: "Chicken, duck, goose...everything is delicious, how can I bear it?" Do you want to die?"

The original forms of the three demon cultivators were actually chickens, ducks, and geese. How could Jiang Haiyan have the heart to refuse?

"Wait a minute, there are so many violent spirit beasts below, don't you want to fight alone?" Xie Pang saw that Jiang Haiyan seemed to be planning to go down, so he quickly stopped him. No matter how powerful Jiang Haiyan was, he couldn't fight alone Dozens of irrational spirit beasts?

"That's right, don't be impulsive!" Even the most kind-hearted Xia Jing is quite rational at this time, "Let's use the sound transmission talisman to call some guides over!"

"That's right, the sound transmission talisman..." However, before Xie Pang finished speaking, Jiang Haiyan jumped down and went down.

"Jiang Haiyan!" Xia Jing and Xie Pang were startled, as if they saw a little sheep fell into the pack of wolves.

Before they hesitated whether to go down to help, Jiang Haiyan, who jumped in front of the native chicken, was already touching his chin, squinting his eyes and looking at the huge spirit beast in front of him. A spirit beast that resembles a cow, but is much larger than an ordinary cow: "... I don't know how the taste compares to beef."

The spirit beast, which was much bigger than Jiang Haiyan, trembled twice under Jiang Haiyan's squinting eyes.

It obviously sensed the danger. If it was different, it might have turned around and ran away long ago, but now it has lost its mind, and only hunger and the desire to kill are left in its mind. Soon, those desires to hunger and kill have overcome it. Fear, its eyes are getting redder.

It opened its mouth wide and raised its head, let out a wolf-like howl, and even saliva flowed out, dripping all over the ground. After the long howl, it kicked its legs and rushed towards Jiang Haiyan.

Everyone couldn't help but sweat for Jiang Haiyan.

"Are you hungry?" Jiang Haiyan chuckled, "What a coincidence, I'm hungry too..."

So everyone broke into a cold sweat for the spirit beast again.

Then, when the spirit beast rushed towards Jiang Haiyan like a bullfight, when it rushed to Jiang Haiyan aggressively, it was knocked out by Jiang Haiyan's familiar punch, and fell to the ground the next moment.

After witnessing all this, Xia Jing couldn't help but turned his head and asked Xie Pang: "Is that guy really a candidate for the Alliance Cheng Accuracy Examination with us?" tiger?

Xie Pang hesitated for a moment: "Probably so?"

Even Jing Hexian and Jing Lihu, who have always been calm, were surprised. If they read correctly, the leading spirit beast was a mid-level spirit beast...a mid-level spirit beast was stunned with one punch , How powerful does this have to be?

It stands to reason that the king is the first to capture the thief, and after defeating the leader, the other guys should also run away at this time, but it is obviously not a reasonable situation now, these dozens of spirit beasts have completely lost their minds, although the leader The guys were easily knocked down, but they were not deterred at all, they were still drooling and trying to approach Jiang Haiyan.

But at this time, both Xia Jing, Xie Pang and Jing Hexian, Jing Lihu were very calm in their hearts. Jiang Haiyan, the guy who opened up... probably can really single out dozens of spirit beasts present!

Just when they didn't know whether they should look forward to seeing Jiang Haiyan single out dozens of spirit beasts, suddenly a person appeared and broke the scene.

That person used a teleportation talisman and suddenly appeared in front of them out of thin air.

Shen Heqing glanced at Xia Jing and the others first, and then he saw Jiang Haiyan at the bottom of the cliff. When he saw Jiang Haiyan single-handedly fighting dozens of spirit beasts, he immediately frowned, and then he jumped quickly , also jumped off the cliff.

Jiang Haiyan was still playing with great interest until Shen Heqing suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shen Heqing frowned: "Why are you alone?"

He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Haiyan's wrist.

Jiang Haiyan disagreed: "I can handle it by myself..."

But soon, he noticed that Shen Heqing's hands were trembling slightly, he paused, and didn't continue talking.

At the moment when he grabbed Jiang Haiyan's wrist, Shen Heqing finally let go of the high hanging stone in his heart. He calmed down, but still looked dignified: "The situation is not good, let's go quickly."

"What happened?" Jiang Haiyan was puzzled, he rarely saw such a serious expression on Shen Heqing's face.

"Many spirit beasts and spirit plants in the forbidden area rioted, eating and hurting people like crazy," Shen Heqing frowned, "it should be the demon cultivator, and the worst thing is that there is something wrong with the formation in the forbidden area, we can't You can’t get in, you can’t get out, and none of us can get out now.”

"The moment I knew about the spirit beast riot, I immediately wanted to come to you. Along the way, I saw several demon cultivators bitten to death by spirit beasts, and saw the broken bodies of those demon cultivators who were torn apart. I was very scared, scared You will too... Fortunately, I have found you now.

Shen Heqing lowered his eyes, and with a little force, he grabbed Jiang Haiyan's hand tightly.

"Don't worry, what can I do," Jiang Haiyan smiled and comforted, "Then what should we do now? Since we can't enter or exit the forbidden area, aren't we trapped here?"

"The chairman is also in the forbidden area now. He asked us guides to find candidates and take them to the center of the forbidden area..." Shen Heqing paused, "That should be the last safe place in the forbidden area."

"That's what you said when you entered the forbidden area before." Jiang Haiyan cast a sideways glance at Shen Heqing, "You said that the forbidden area should be the safest place in the entire cultivation world."

Shen Heqing smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that those demon cultivators could even destroy the formations in the forbidden area?"

"Then are you sure that the center of that forbidden area is safe?" Jiang Haiyan raised his eyebrows, very suspicious.

"Even if we're not sure, there's nothing we can do. That's our only retreat now," Shen He said calmly, "In short, I'll take you there first, and then make plans."

"Wait a moment."

Just when Shen Heqing was about to take Jiang Haiyan up, Jiang Haiyan suddenly yelled.

"What's wrong?" Shen Heqing frowned slightly.

Jiang Haiyan pointed to the three demon cultivators on the ground, and then pointed to the fallen spirit beast that looked like a cow: "Take them with you, and this one, reserve food."

Shen Heqing nodded, stuffed the cow into the storage bag, and soon, they returned to the cliff again.

Shen Heqing calmly repeated what he said to Jiang Haiyan just now to Xia Jing and the others: "...So, we are going to the center of the forbidden area now."

Xia Jing and the others naturally saw that Shen Heqing helped Jiang Haiyan stuff the spirit beast into the storage bag just now, and they couldn't help thinking, could it be that the reason why Jiang Haiyan jumped just now...was actually to store food?

They looked at Jiang Haiyan's satisfied expression silently, and they always felt that the truth was true.

"The center of the forbidden area, what is it?"

Xia Jing couldn't help but ask, the alliance had banned them from approaching the formation near the center of the forbidden area before, so how could this not make them curious?

"You will know when you go." Shen He said calmly.

"Then let's go." Xie Pang didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

Jing Hexian looked down the cliff, stared at the dozens of spirit beasts for a while, and suddenly said: "Those spirit beasts seem to be getting more and more irritable."

"Really?" Hearing this, Jiang Haiyan also lowered his head and looked down. The dozens of spirit beasts that he had molested severely just now became more and more irritable after realizing that the prey that was about to arrive was missing. , the already red eyeballs were even more bloodshot, and their every move became more and more manic. They rushed and rolled around, ruining those spiritual plants to pieces, and some spirit beasts even fought and bit each other up.

"...Like a zombie." He commented seriously.

Jing Lihu frowned slightly: "They have completely lost their minds."

"Let's go, if you stay any longer, you don't know what will happen." Xia Jing was worried.

Seeing those dozens of spirit beasts losing their minds, their hearts were a little heavy, and they even began to wonder, could it be that the entire forbidden area is full of these mindless spirit beasts?

Soon, Shen Heqing used a teleportation talisman, and the next moment, they appeared beside a river.

This is a magnificent river, the river is very wide, almost endless, and there is a small broken fishing boat parked by the river.

The fishing boat was very small and shabby, but they soon recognized the shabby fishing boat... Wasn't it the place where they took the literary exam?

In addition to them, there are many candidates and guides who have just arrived on the shore. All the guides look very solemn. It seems that their current situation is really not optimistic.

Shen Heqing stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Haiyan's hand, and at the same time said to Xia Jing and the others, "Get on the boat."

Jiang Haiyan paused, and suddenly grabbed Shen Heqing's hand with his backhand.

Shen Heqing lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, then he opened his five fingers and clasped Jiang Haiyan's five fingers, and the two fingers intertwined.
