"Once he calms down completely, this old bastard will definitely make a move. If he realizes that the clan leader and his men haven't arrived in the south yet, we'll be in trouble."
Putting away his mocking expression, Meng Yuqing's tone became serious. "You were able to draw him in because you could move your own father's bones. And he was suddenly attracted to me when he was looking for you because I used energy to attack him."
"As the god he considers himself, he must have recognized that this energy wasn't something a normal beastman or sub-beast could wield. That's why he assumed I had some connection to the continent."
"Or maybe he thought I also gained power from the mainland. And since you and I are obviously on the same side, he must think that my way of gaining power is more legitimate than his."
"He would see me as a threat, so he would suddenly give up looking for you to attack me. The faker's heart must be weak. When the real one appears, he will definitely find a way to make it disappear."
"So, maybe the thorn in his side has changed from you to me now." Meng Yuqing touched his chin. "Anyway, I'm going to try to harass him for the next two days. The longer I can keep him here, the better."
After listening to Meng Yuqing's words, Xuan put his head on his forelimbs and said after a long while, "Then let's try it first."
Meng Yuqing stroked the leopard's head and said, "When the clan leader and the others return, we should hurry to the place where the system said we can gain power."
"I guess the octopus monster won't do any more small tricks, but will do something big. At least we need to have the power to restrain him."
"Okay." Xuan replied softly.
It was already dark when the hunting trio returned. They had caught a medium-sized beast. Mu had also prepared the other side dishes and was just waiting for their main course.
With Meng Yuqing and Xuan Zai, they brought all the ingredients, and Ya also picked a lot of wild vegetables while hunting.
Meng Yuqing took out an iron plate and a barbecue iron net from the space.
After placing the iron plate on the stove, Meng Yuqing said to the others, "If you want to eat barbecue, you can grill it yourself, and I will make teppanyaki. If you want to eat, please sign up. I only want you to taste it, not to fill your stomach."
Orcs can eat, but it is impossible for Meng Yuqing to prepare teppanyaki for four adult orcs.
Before Xuan Heya could say anything, Mu Helian and Lie all squatted in front of Meng Yuqing, and the elementary school student raised his hand.
"I, I, I want to eat." Mu spoke first.
Lie was next, "I want some too. I remember you brought some bearded beast meat with you, Yuqing. I want to eat that!"
But just as he finished speaking, Xuan walked up to him and grabbed his throat. "It's good enough to have something to eat, why are you so picky?"
Lie waved his hands and feet and begged Xuan for mercy.
Although Xuan is injured now, it doesn't mean that he can beat Xuan now.
Lian glanced at Lie, with a hint of gloating in his eyes, and said, "Yuqing, I'm not picky, I eat everything, help me first."
Instantly, Lie cast a condemning look at Lian, "Sinister villain!"
Meng Yuqing completely ignored the people who were making a fuss over food. He knew what the "whiskered beast" Lie was talking about was, it was squid. He had made grilled squid several times before, and the taste had been unanimously praised in Qingshan City.
When the aroma of food wafted out, the people who were fighting stopped at the same time.
After putting everything on the iron plate into bowls, Meng Yuqing gave each of them a bowl to shut up those guys.
After finishing the meal, Meng Yuqing seemed to remember something and looked up at "God" again. "God" was still looking at them with those cold and ruthless eyes.
Meng Yuqing poked the system and asked, "Doesn't this guy need to eat?"
The system was stunned for a moment before speaking, "Although he hasn't reached the realm of the so-called god, he is already different from humans."
"What about You? What about Xuan's biological father beast? What's going on with him?" Meng Yuqing thought of You's huge beast-shaped corpse that was not in line with common sense.
"His power has surpassed that of a human, but his essence remains human." The system's tone was somewhat dejected. "He's been recognized, and all he needed to do was go there. But then the gods took drastic action, and he was worried about the tribes in the north and all those suffering because of the gods' existence. He planned to take everyone south before leaving, but was ultimately stabbed in the back by the Thorn Tribe."
"Is that so?" Meng Yuqing felt a little regretful.
Compared to the Obsidian Tribe, which confronted the power of God head-on in the north, snatched people from God and protected all the tribes in the north.
Qingshan City is located in the south, protected by barriers, and has stable development. It is indeed difficult for God to reach out to it, but to a certain extent, it has indeed allowed God and his forces to do whatever they want in the north.
But both routes have their own advantages.
Before returning to the tent, Meng Yuqing drew out a strand of energy, formed it into a small ball the size of a marble, and threw it towards the "God".
When the small ball exploded next to the "God's" eyes, the people who were preparing to rest heard the unpleasant and uncomfortable sound again.
"What's wrong?" Lian was so scared that he stretched his neck to look at the giant octopus.
"It's okay, let's go to sleep." Xuan turned into a beast, walked to the side of the tent, lay down and said lazily.
But they were destined to have a bad sleep tonight, as the "God" would be making that unpleasant sound all night long.
The next morning, Meng Yuqing crawled out of the tent with dark circles under her eyes and threw herself on Xuan's stomach, rolling around. "I regret it. I shouldn't have chosen the night."
Xuan gently patted Meng Yuqing's back with his tail to comfort him.
On the other side, Lian was also lying on the grass pecking at the grass with a depressed look on his face. It wasn't that the voice of "God" kept him awake, but as soon as he closed his eyes after hearing the voice, the miserable scene of them being chased before would appear in his mind, and he couldn't sleep well at all!
However, Xuan didn't pay any attention to Lian's thoughts. After finishing his breakfast, he said coldly to Lian with his thirty-seven-degree mouth, "It's almost time. I have to keep an eye on the Baicang beast."
Lian's eyes swept over the people in front of him one by one, and then he resigned himself to his fate and flew towards where the Baicang beast was.
Mu and Lie had already walked to the side and transformed into beast forms to start sparring. Ya sat on the side with his arms folded over his chest as the referee.
"Lie wins this round!" Ya announced the result of the first round coldly.
"Come again, come again." Mu shook off the grass and dust on his body and walked into the designated area again.
Lie said with a smug expression, "I won, you have to change your opponent, I won't fight you."
