After a long time, everyone, who had used a spirit stone to recover, stood up in succession from their state of sitting upright.
“So hungry.”
Everyone was shouting out and very quickly, they glanced towards the corpses of those spirit beasts.
Under Pan Tao and Zheng Rui’s guidance, they lit a bonfire and cut off the meat on the bodies of the spirit beast into pieces. Then they used a tree branch to string the pieces of meat together and racked it above the bonfire as they roasted the meat.
Not long after, an alluring fragrance came from the cooked meat that had been properly roasted.
The row of people, who were starving to the point that they found it difficult to endure any longer, all munched on the spirit beasts’ meat in large chunks, using them to fill their stomachs.
“How appetizing!”
“This is fresher, more tender, and more delicious than the food at home!”
“It’s not that easy to eat a spirit beast’s meat. This time, everyone’s stomach is sure to be satisfied!”
They were all surrounding the bonfire, as they tore through the pieces of meat. They ate until the corners of their mouths were soaked with oil and their faces had smiles of satisfaction plastered on them.
At this moment, only An Ying, whose strength had been consumed the most, and Nie Tian, who had sank into a state of deep sleep and was still not able to recover, were unable to enjoy the culinary delicacy.
“There are more than enough spirit beasts here. We roast some for An Ying and Nie Tian. Once they have fully recovered, they can eat it the first moments after they awaken.” Pan Tao instructed, as he nibbled on an oily beast leg.
“Okay.” Someone replied.
“Elder Brother Pan, what is the matter with you? Why are you defending that punk in all respects?” Zheng Rui held a small knife in his hands, as he cut the meat piece by piece, pretending that he was eating in a refined manner. “Could it be that you have forgotten that we almost fought with that punk?”
As for the other youngsters, they were similarly puzzled as to why Pan Tao would take care of Nie Tian so much. Once they heard what Zheng Rui had to say, they all looked in his direction.
“Times have changed.” Pan Tao had a serious expression on his face. “He was the first to sense the Earth Lizard when it sneakily attacked Jiang Miao and helped Jiang Miao escape a calamity. From that moment onwards, he was already one of us.”
“Regardless of what his status is outside, I hope that all of you will treat him as a comrade in the Green Illusion Realm.”
“There is a possibility that we will come across even greater dangers from now on. If everyone harbours disloyalty towards one another and we are unable to trust one another, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to leave the Green Illusion Realm alive.”
There was a sense of justice in the words that he had spoken sternly.
“Pan Tao is right.” An Ying who had opened her eyes took over and spoke. She first gave a look of praise to Pan Tao, before she started to reprimand Zheng Rui. “You should learn more from Pan Tao and not have a belly the size of a chicken’s gut. I have only just realised that Pan Tao’s capabilities of bearing heavy responsibilities is so much stronger, than what I previously imagined through, this journey in the Green Illusion Realm.”
Pan Tao humbly lowered his head, lacking in confidence as he quickly said. “Do not say it like this. I only feel that the most important thing is unity.”
Zheng Rui, who had been reprimanded, felt aggrieved and thought to himself in his heart, “Before we arrived, was it not you who secretly instructed us to teach Nie Tian a lesson?”
“He has also woken up.” It was at this moment that the baby-doll faced Jiang Miao noticed that Nie Tian had also opened his eyes.
“Go and deliver him something to eat.” An Ying instructed Jiang Miao with only a sentence.
The small, translucent, jade-like hands of hers helped herself as she seized a huge, piece of cooked meat from Zheng Rui’s hands. She directly shoved the huge piece of meat into her mouth in a bold and unconstrained manner, fiercely biting a chunk out of it and started to chew on it.
“Zheng Rui, why are you behaving like the young ladies? This is the Green Illusion Realm and not the Ling Bao Court anyway. You’re doing nothing more than just eating. Is it really necessary for you to use cutlery and make it so refined?”
She mumbled to herself, not articulating her words properly.
Having her say such words to him, Zheng Rui, who was pretending to be refined, also felt embarrassed and could only put away his small knife.
At that moment, Jiang Miao also grabbed a cooked piece of meat that came from the Cold Armour Rhinoceros’ body and arrived at Nie Tian’s side.
“This is for you.” Jiang Miao timidly handed it over to Nie Tian.
“Oh, thank you.” Nie Tian, who had slept until he felt slightly dazed, conveniently took the piece of meat from her hands and immediately started to wolf it down his throat.
That piece of cooked meat was at least five Jin and disappeared into Nie Tian’s mouth in an extremely short period of time without leaving any scraps.
Jiang Miao stood at the side and watched with her eyes wide and her mouth hanging wide open.
After he had swallowed the huge piece of cooked meat, Nie Tian didn’t have any feelings in the slightest and was still as incomparably famished as before.
“Is there some more?” He looked at Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao nodded her head once and quickly said, “There is! There is still a lot too!”
Once she spoke, she quickly ran to where An Ying and the others were at and took out another piece of cooked meat that was even bigger.
Nie Tian helped himself to it. After he had taken it into his hands, he dealt with the cooked piece of meat that was more than eight Jin with lighting fast speed, as quick as before.
A surge of warmth gradually rose up from his abdomen and after carefully perceiving with rapt attention, his eyes suddenly lit up.
When he was diligently trying to comprehend it, he realised that the traces of warmth seemed to originate from that piece of meat that he had swallowed…
That piece of meat came from a grade one spirit beast that had just died not long ago.
