"Master, after we split up, I met a group of powerful fellow tribesmen. They were very hospitable. Not only did they treat me to a lot of delicious food, they also invited me to join them."
I don’t know if it’s because he was infused with Xuanyin Qi, but the yellow color on the little ant’s body has become much darker now, and it seems to be developing towards dark yellow, and there is also a hint of cold and sharp aura.
Su Rui couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He had originally assigned the reconnaissance mission to this guy, but later he followed Hu Mei'e to Izumo Cave and didn't have time to call it back. Unexpectedly, it found the organization so quickly. It could be regarded as completing another small goal of "recruiting brothers".
Su Rui was still counting on it to go to Tongqu County to deliver a letter to Magistrate Su, the little fox demon and the others about his safety. However, letting it go back alone seemed unreliable, so Su Rui let it develop its own tribe first and then see how to deal with it.
"You stay outside and develop the power in your hands. I will come out every once in a while to infuse you with true energy. After you have subdued a group of your own kind, I will assign you tasks!" Su Rui instructed the little ant in his mind.
"Master, please rest assured. I have seen the queen ant today, and I promise that I will become the king of ants soon!" There was a hint of excitement in the little ant's tender voice. No one knew what this guy had experienced.
Su Rui didn't bother to make a development plan for it. He told it to go out on its own and then let it go.
The vague connection between him and the little ant was not a true master-servant relationship, in which he did not control life and death. Instead, it was a bit like a kitten raised by humans, a relationship of feeder and being fed. The difference was that the food he fed was the relatively rare true qi.
When they arrived at the "Xiangshuitan", Su Rui jumped off the deer monster's shoulder.
The little deer demon had been running all the way and was already exhausted. When it saw Su Rui stop, it thought he was just taking a short rest, so it licked some water from the pond to quench its thirst. Running all the way seemed to make it feel a little bit of the value of its existence, and the fear in its eyes actually lessened a little.
"I am going back to the mountain gate. If you are willing to follow me, find a safe place nearby to hide and wait for my call. If you are not willing, leave here, otherwise you will be hunted as food by my fellow disciples!" Su Rui patted its shoulder and said to it slowly.
Upon hearing this, the little deer demon was immediately overjoyed and responded uncertainly, "Really? Can I really leave now?!"
Su Rui nodded and said, "Of course you can leave. Speaking of which, I owe you a favor for carrying me over mountains and across rivers for such a long time..."
When the deer heard it was time to leave, it turned around excitedly. After running a few steps, it hesitated, turned back, and asked Su Rui with wide eyes, "Can I bring my people to join you? They haven't awakened their bloodline yet, and they usually just become blood food for the mountain kings!"
Su Rui nodded uncertainly, thinking, "It's just protecting a group of wild deer, so it shouldn't be a big problem!"
Seeing Su Rui agreed, the little deer demon couldn't help but jump a few times excitedly on the spot, then ran away happily.
Seeing the moon had risen, Su Rui simply lit a bonfire by the "Xiangshui Pond" and pulled the bear's body from the small cloth bag. He planned to roast a large bear paw as a reward for his hard work, then return to the mountain gate to cultivate. But after removing the paw, he found that the blood had been replaced by green smoke, and the appearance of the paw was clearly poisonous. He then remembered that Hu Mei'e had killed the bear with the Green Flame Flying Fork. It was likely that the bear's body had been burned by the Green Flame poison. He didn't know if eating it would be poisonous!
"Looks like we can't eat it anymore!" Su Rui lamented. However, this area is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, so there should still be plenty of pristine bears. He'd find an unsuspecting bear and try his hand at the bear paws.
After Su Rui moved the bear's body to a place far away from the pond and discarded it, he walked around the nearby mountains and forests, hit two pheasants with stones as hidden weapons, took them to the downstream of "Xiangshui Pond" to process them, and then roasted the pheasants.
In his small cloth bag were some wild fruits he had collected two days ago, which were perfect for seasoning. As for the leopard, civet cat, and forest python corpses in the small cloth bag, Su Rui felt that they would not taste good when grilled, and he also planned to use these monster corpses to try out the corpse refining technique, so he left them alone.
After a busy time.
As the sizzling fat dripped into the fire, the two pheasants roasted golden by the fire were finally ready to be eaten.
Su Rui was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back and his mouth was watering.
Just as he took one from the barbecue grill, a withered arm suddenly appeared and snatched the pheasant from his hand.
Su Rui looked sideways and saw a short, white-haired old man who snatched his roast chicken and started to chew it directly. The scalding grease did not affect his biting speed at all.
Even hungry dogs will guard their food, let alone Suri, whose eyes are turning green with hunger.
So he attacked angrily, intending to take the roast chicken back. But once he attacked, he found that he couldn't even touch the old man's clothes. He was even more angry, and he refused to believe it, so he directly rushed into him with his sixth-level Golden Bell Cover.
However, the old man was still happily chewing the roast chicken while dodging Su Rui's attacks without leaving a trace, making him run around in circles.
Su Rui didn't stop until he lost his temper after being fooled. His rationality returned, but how could he resolve his depression? He could only mutter to himself, trying to comfort himself: "This old man is quite pitiful. Just think of it as respecting the elderly and loving the young... Really pitiful, he's starving to the point of being just bones..."
