Chapter 1456: That’s Not How It Works
While Zhou Wen was using the technique of stealing the sky and replacing the day, he had already put on the Dragon Prison Armor and grasped the Immortal-Slaying Sword.
Tsukuyomi's strength was enough to threaten her existence, so he was definitely not an ordinary creature. Zhou Wen didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, because that might cost him his life.
But when Zhou Wen was teleported to the place and saw the situation clearly, he still opened his mouth in shock and was speechless for a long time.
Zhou Wen didn't know what kind of planet this was. It looked very huge, with gravity much stronger than that of the Earth. It also had an atmosphere, but it was obviously different from the Earth's atmosphere.
There are rocks everywhere here, and between the two peaks in front, there is a stick made of unknown material, with a huge strange beast on the stick.
There was a flame rising up from between the two mountains, and it looked like it was roasting the strange beast.
But Zhou Wen had seen that strange beast before. Its body was like a cosmic-level manta ray, with transparent flesh and blue veins flowing inside.
Although Zhou Wen had only seen this thing twice, he had a very deep memory of the powerful aura of a natural disaster creature on it. It was definitely not an ordinary human-level natural disaster creature.
Now it was being roasted, and one could faintly smell the aroma of meat. It was obviously dead.
Tsukuyomi sat on a stone beside her, supporting her chin with one hand and holding the companion egg Zhou Wen gave her in the other. The companion egg was broken, and judging from the nail marks on it, it was obviously broken by Tsukuyomi herself.
"What's going on?" Zhou Wen asked puzzledly.
"We're having barbecue, but there's no barbecue ingredients and no wine. You should have some, right?" Tsukuyomi said to Zhou Wen with a smile.
"That companion egg isn't meant for you to use like this..." Zhou Wen said, taking out the seasonings and wine he had placed in the chaotic space.
"I don't like drinking red wine. Do you have any sake?" Tsukuyomi looked at the red wine Zhou Wen took out and shook his head.
"I thought women all liked to drink that." Zhou Wen took the red wine back, took out a large bottle of sake, and took out the wine jug and wine glass.
At the foot of the mountain where the strange beast was being grilled, Qiao Ji cut a piece of meat from the beast and put it on a tray and brought it over.
The meat is as crystal clear as a small river shrimp. After being roasted, it turns golden brown on the outside and milky white on the inside. Although no seasoning has been added, it already exudes the aroma of meat and oil.
The difference between exotic beast meat and shrimp meat is that there is a lot of fat in its meat. After roasting, the fat melts into oil and penetrates into the chewy meat, which not only retains the moisture in the meat, but also makes the meat more fragrant and tender.
Qiao Ji placed a wooden table between Zhou Wen and Yue Du, knelt in front of the table, and cut the roasted meat on the plate into slices. Because this was not ordinary meat, the temperature was extremely high. Qiao Ji opened the wine pot and poured some sake on it. Immediately, she heard a sizzling sound, as well as the mist rising from the meat and the aroma emitted by the contraction of fat.
Only after the temperature of the meat dropped to a certain level did Qiao Ji start to sprinkle seasoning on it.
After preparing the barbecue, Qiao Ji put the cups in place, poured wine for Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi, and waited aside.
"Thank you for the wine." Tsukuyomi held the jade-like wine glass, covered it with his sleeves, drank the wine in the glass, smiled at Zhou Wen, and put the wine glass on the table.
"Thank you for the meat." Zhou Wen raised his wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
Kneeling in front of the table, Hashihime picked up the wine jug and filled both of their cups.
"Try it and see if it tastes good." Tsukuyomi said.
"Then I won't be polite." Zhou Wen was really a little hungry. He took the chopsticks handed to him by Qiao Ji, picked up a piece of barbecue and put it into his mouth.
Zhou Wen had heard before that in ancient times, there were immortals who cultivated themselves to a certain level and no longer needed to eat or drink.
Zhou Wen felt that it was just a gimmick to bluff people. The higher the degree of evolution of the biological body, the stronger the power it could burst out, the more energy it needed, and the more it would eat.
Of course, it doesn’t necessarily have to be food. Those immortals may also have more advanced food, such as concentrated vital energy liquid and so on.
In any case, Zhou Wen doesn't have the ability to not eat. Although he can go without food for a long time, that will consume his accumulated energy and there is no benefit.
As the barbecue entered his mouth, his teeth bit into the meat and he immediately felt the gravy seeping out. It mixed with the seasonings and filled Zhou Wen's mouth with the aroma of the meat.
"Delicious!" Zhou Wen chewed it for a few times and felt that the meat was tender, smooth and fragrant, and its deliciousness was indescribable.
"Then eat more. I can't finish so much." Tsukuyomi pinched the wine glass with his fingers and took a sip.
"This meat is really good." Zhou Wen praised while eating.
Anyway, the body of the strange beast was as huge as a mountain. Even if he ate as much as he wanted, he wouldn't be able to eat much. It wouldn't even be a drop in the bucket. There was no need to be polite.
Tsukuyomi just watched Zhou Wen eat, but he didn't pick up his chopsticks, occasionally tasting a little wine in the glass.
After Zhou Wen ate four or five slices of roast pork, he felt something was wrong. In his stomach, he felt a chill spreading to his limbs and bones, just like swallowing ice cubes in the summer.
"How can this meat contain so much vital energy?" Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised to find that what was gushing out was actually vital energy, and it was extremely pure vital energy.
No, it’s not just pure, it’s a high-level vital energy. The vital energy itself has unique properties and is much more advanced than Zhou Wen’s own vital energy.
That kind of vital energy merged into Zhou Wen's body, which had a lot of effects on his body. Zhou Wen could clearly feel that his physical condition was improving.
Zhou Wen was becoming more and more surprised. Generally speaking, after a dimensional creature dies, most of its vitality will dissipate, and only a small portion can remain in the corpse.
Zhou Wen wanted to ask Tsukuyomi, but it was too late. The barbecue he had eaten caused a large amount of vital energy to burst out, and the terrifying vital energy swept through his body.
Zhou Wen could only concentrate on practicing the Yuan Qi Jue to guide the Yuan Qi, otherwise his body would be destroyed by the large amount of Yuan Qi.
Because of the influence of the vital energy, Zhou Wen's body became crystal clear, like a crystal man, and the vital energy was still continuously radiating.
Tsukuyomi waved her sleeves, and Hashihime immediately flew towards the body of the strange beast. Hundreds of ghosts also descended at the same time and pounced on the corpse of the strange beast.
As the monster was being eaten by hundreds of ghosts, its flesh and blood quickly decreased, and a strange light emanated from the ghosts' bodies.
Tsukuyomi just drank and looked at Zhou Wen with a smile, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Zhou Wen felt that his various qualities had probably reached the limit of the fear level, and there was really no way to improve them any further.
But the vital energy continued to merge into his body, making him feel that some of his qualities were still getting stronger.
