Luo Qingcheng and the others looked at each other, as if to say, "This works?"
One bag of spicy strips is all you need?
Lu Yuan took out two bottles of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) and two packs of spicy strips. This time, he didn't throw them away, but walked over directly.
"Brother Niu, this is called wine, and this is spicy strips. Come on, I'll drink with you."
Lu Yuan's form of address has changed again.
Half an hour later...
"Brother, this Erguotou liquor is really good, and these spicy strips are delicious too!"
"By the way, tell me, what's wrong with your body?"
"You're not going to tell me that your father slept with a female dragon, so you were born..."
"Or perhaps your mother was..."
If a human had said that, Lu Yuan would have killed him with a single blow long ago.
Because that's calling him a bastard.
But the Kui Niu says it differently, since in their view, certain aspects are not divided by race.
"Brother Niu, this is what happened, back then..."
Lu Yuan briefly recounted what had happened, but many details were modified.
"No wonder. The human body can hardly withstand the essence of the Demon Dragon King. Luckily, your body is strong enough, otherwise you would have died long ago."
Kui Niu sighed as he put the last spicy strip in his mouth and started licking his fingers, just like a three-year-old child licking his fingers after eating candy.
“Brother Niu, you’re right, that’s why I traveled all this way to find ice-attribute spiritual fruits to neutralize it.”
Lu Yuan finally brought the topic back to the present.
"The Ice Condensation Fruit can indeed fuse with the essence blood of the Demon Dragon King within your body."
"Okay, I'll give you three, but I only need one."
Kui Niu was quite generous; after all, one is bound to be obligated to accept gifts and food, and this principle applies everywhere.
"No, no, Brother Niu, two are enough for me. Any more would be a waste."
Men are strange things, including males.
They were fighting over a single Ice Condensation Fruit a while ago, but now they're pushing and shoving each other to give it up.
In the end, the topic ended with a 50/50 split.
"Brother Niu, how old are you?"
Kui Niu shook his head:
"I can't remember exactly, but I've eaten this Ice Condensation Fruit more than a dozen times."
This surprised Lu Yuan.
"Eat it more than ten times?"
"You won't come every time the Ice Condensation Fruit ripens, will you?"
Kui Niu nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Of course, before it's ripe, other guys will naturally guard it. I'll just come when it's almost ripe."
"It's so cold here, I don't like staying here."
A phrase suddenly popped into Lu Yuan's mind: "picking the peaches" and "making wedding dresses for others."
I must say, this method is actually quite good.
"Brother Niu, I admire you!"
"By the way, there are so many large cracks here, why don't you go over there?"
The Kui Niu was taken aback; it didn't quite understand what the so-called great crack was.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to explain.
"So you were talking about a portal to another world!"
“I dare not go there. My inherited memories tell me that the most terrifying thing in this world is not the Four Divine Beasts or the Four Ferocious Beasts, but humans.”
"My ancestors repeatedly warned me not to go to human territory, but you seem quite friendly to me."
"They even gave me such delicious food."
Kui Niu naturally refers to spicy strips.
"Actually, there's a teleportation channel like you mentioned in my territory, in a cave, but I ignored it."
"I can eat whenever I want and sleep whenever I want here."
"Why bother with all that trouble? You might end up dead, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"By the way, I have a lot of good stuff. When you come back with me another day, I'll give it all to you."
Lu Yuan was overjoyed; the treasure that Kui Niu mentioned must be pretty good.
"Brother Niu, these fruits won't ripen anytime soon. I'll go get a magical beast and make you some barbecue."
Lu Yuan and Kui Niu were on friendly terms, drinking and eating barbecue, having a wonderful time.
Meanwhile, on one of the teleportation channels, some people were in trouble. At that moment, seven or eight people were desperately trying to escape.
These people were sent by White Tiger City and Vermilion Bird City. There were forty people in total, and now this is all that's left.
"There's a cave over there, let's go in and hide quickly."
About five minutes later, seven or eight people finally hid in the cave and covered the entrance.
"Damn it, they're basically sending us to our deaths. Forty people, and in less than a minute, only a few of us are left."
The speaker was named Song Ping, one of the suicide squad members sent by White Tiger City.
"Song Ping, what are you saying? Aren't we all here to die?"
"I just hope they keep their word, otherwise I'll haunt them even as a ghost!"
This person's name is Zhang Chao, and he was sent by Zhuque City.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Zhang Chao's words, Song Ping burst into laughter:
"Even as ghosts, we are still wandering spirits! This is another world; do you think ghosts can return to Earth?"
"Now is not the time to think about that. We should be thinking about how to find Lu Yuan."
Upon hearing that they were looking for Lu Yuan, Zhang Chao shook his head.
"Song Ping, are you stupid?!"
"You've seen how dangerous this place is. We might not even get very far before we get killed by monsters."
"We can just stay here. The teleportation portal is not far away. Lu Yuan will come sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Song Ping's eyes lit up.
What Zhang Chao said actually makes a damn good point.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the Ice Condensation Fruit ripened.
Lu Yuan and Kui Niu each got two, and everyone was happy!
Lu Yuan was about to eat the Ice Condensation Fruit when he got it, but fortunately, the Divine Diagram's spiritual power stopped him in time.
"Master, it's too cold here."
"Once the Ice Condensation Fruit starts to take effect, the cold air will invade and, combined with the climate here, will freeze you into an ice sculpture. That would be quite a sight."
The elf spoke while making jokes.
"Where should I take it?"
As Lu Yuan asked the question, he put away the Ice Condensation Fruit.
"Find a warm place with a pool of water, soak in the water to drink it, and then circulate your inner energy."
Lu Yuan understood, so he started talking to Kui Niu about it. Kui Niu pointed Lu Yuan in a direction and then told him where he lived.
Tell Lu Yuan to go and see it whenever he has time.
Lu Yuan then gave Kui Niu two more bottles of baijiu and three packs of spicy strips before they parted ways.
Almost a day passed, and Lu Yuan and his group arrived at a valley.
There are no roars of monsters here, only birdsong and fragrant flowers, and a lake with crystal-clear water.
"Brother-in-law, this place is so beautiful!"
"I feel it's much more beautiful than Earth!"
"The area is now riddled with holes by monsters and zombies. I don't know how long it will take to recover to its pre-apocalyptic state."
Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that Zhang Xiaorui, who was always cheerful and lively, also had a sentimental side.
