Chapter 226 Sneak Attack It just so happened that the time she had been training outside had really exhausted her both physically and mentally. She thought she had to wait until the training period was completely over before she could return to the sect, but she didn't expect to be able to go back early. She was so happy that she didn't have time to refuse. As for the danger that the master mentioned, Zhou Ling actually didn’t take it seriously at the moment. First of all, the biggest threat to her safety had been killed by her in the secret realm. The Demon Lord's soul fragment, which already knew their identities, must not be kept. Now that the soul fragment has been destroyed, who can still know that the real owner of the Hengyue Sword is her? Even if they still have doubts, they are just guesses at most. Without any evidence, they still regard themselves as the one who would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go. This level of danger is much less than an all-out counterattack after identifying the target. Zhou Ling was happy and relaxed, and she coaxed her master into calming down. She ran to the deck with some snacks to bask in the sun. She stayed in that secret place for several months and was almost numb from it. No matter how well the sunlight and moonlight are imitated, they are still fake after all. They are not as comfortable as the real sunlight shining on your body like we have now. "I want to eat, too."
A voice sounded in her mind. Zhou Ling paused while stuffing the dried meat into her mouth. She glanced up and saw that the spirit beast bag hanging on her waist had loosened its opening. She could vaguely see the eyes of a chicken inside, looking at her from a distance. "I'm eating pork jerky and pork jerky. Are you sure you want to eat that?" In order to show the minimum respect to the big cow, Zhou Ling gave up eating beef jerky during this period. Although Da Niu has said more than once that it is okay and he should eat it, and although he is also a cow, Zhou Ling eating beef jerky does not mean he is eating it. Although Daniu was very reasonable, Zhou Ling just couldn't eat the beef jerky... "Please be kind. Since you were reborn from the ashes last time, your feathers are different now. You look like you are not an ordinary chicken. Master and uncle are in the cabin. If I let you out and they see you, they will see a ready-made divine beast! What do you think they will do?" This is not Zhou Ling's conspiracy theory. It is true that all the mythical beasts in this world have become extinct. It is not as simple as a rare animal. If one is found, it will probably be captured and studied by the whole world. In her spare time, Zhou Ling reads a lot of miscellaneous books, and she knows the records about mythical beasts best. In the world of immortal cultivation, the concept is that humans are humans and beasts are beasts. No matter how powerful you are, as long as you are a beast, you are born one level lower than humans. Therefore, in the world of immortal cultivation, demon beasts are necessary materials for cultivators to kill, and spiritual beasts, if raised well, can be the mounts, companions or assistants of the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation. If they are not raised well, they are also used as materials. There are also mythical beasts. Mythical beasts only exist in legends, but what kind of legends are they? It’s the kind that can be fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, braised or stewed, and each dish is different! That’s right, although the mythical beasts are powerful, most of the records about them are actually recipe types. Just like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Zhou Ling didn't think there was anything special when she read it for the first time. After all, she was also a human and had been exposed to these things since she was a child. Small animals were more or less related to food ingredients, and even insects could be linked to food ingredients. Except for some inedible ones, almost everything could be eaten. The phoenix is a relatively famous species among mythical beasts. There are even many more cooking methods for it. In addition, of course, the uses of various ingredients on it are also recorded in great detail. For example, animal tendons can be used for certain things, animal blood can be used for certain things, and even its skull has a unique function! Zhou Ling could imagine that as long as Erniu showed a little bit of the fact that he had the blood of the Phoenix in the crowd, he might end up in the pot of some big boss the next second. "Gah!" Erniu didn't reply in his mind, but just made an unwilling sound, and the sound came out of the spirit beast bag, which gave Zhou Ling a headache. "Okay, I know you're depressed. Speaking of being depressed, can you be more depressed than me? Who is your master? It's me! I take care of your food and drink, and now I also have to take care of your safety. In short, you should have some ideas in your mind. If you don't want to be taken advantage of, just speak honestly and don't show up. Especially after you come back to the sect with me, there are many people in the sect, and you can't show your face at all, understand?" Zhou Ling's tone became unusually stern, and Erniu couldn't help but shrink his neck. "Know……"
His voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, but luckily it sounded directly in my mind, so I didn't have to prick up my ears to listen. As a party involved, how could it not know about what the young master said and the so-called speculations? Before it becomes powerful, if it is discovered by someone, it will become an ingredient recorded in the recipe and become a delicacy served on the table. Once it becomes powerful, if it is discovered by someone, it will cause bloodshed in the entire world of immortal cultivation and trigger a war for it. And it itself will still become food and material afterwards. Why are the predecessors of their Caifeng clan almost dying out? Because their appearance is difficult to disguise, and because as long as they come into contact with humans, death is inevitable! Except... Zhou Ling and her blood ancestors. "Forget it, forget it. I'll give you one. Remember not to make any noise and don't come out." What kind of expression could a chicken have on its face? But Zhou Ling could see infinite sadness and loneliness in its eyes. Out of kindness, a piece of dried meat was thrown into the spirit beast bag, and Erniu opened his mouth and caught it steadily. "Thank you, Xiao Ling'er, it smells so good! My Aunt Zhou's cooking skills are comparable to those of a fairy chef!" The loneliness in Erniu's eyes disappeared, and was replaced by the twinkling starlight after harvesting delicious food. After all, who says chickens can't eat meat? They are omnivorous animals that can eat insects and meat. It's just that the opportunities to eat meat are too rare and they didn't have the chance to eat it before. Now that I'm following the little master, isn't it only natural to eat a piece of meat occasionally to improve the diet? Zhou Ling ignored it, resealed the spirit beast bag, and continued to chew on the spirit stones and bask in the sun. The master's ship was moving very fast. There was a wind-proof barrier at the front of the bow. At this time, I could only see the clouds in the sky moving rapidly backwards, but I could not feel any wind. It was actually very comfortable. If it weren't for the hidden arrows that suddenly came from the clouds, no matter how fast Zhou Ling dodged, the sharp arrows would still brush past her ears and cut off a few strands of her hair. She thought she could still lie peacefully on the recliner and take a nap, but now... how could she take a nap! "Mother!!! Master!!!" As several defensive magic weapons he was carrying were activated instantly, Zhou Ling shouted for reinforcements in a timely manner. (End of this chapter)
