The Flame Eagle King lost interest in watching any longer, swooped down, picked up the flower in its beak, flapped its wings, and flew away.
"Ah! My flowers!" Lin Yue, who was still desperately fighting the gibbon, looked on with eyes wide with rage.
The Flame Eagle King, who had already flown far away, rolled his eyes disdainfully upon hearing the heart-wrenching howl: What do you mean, "your flower"? It's clearly my flower!
······
Two days later, in the southern part of the wasteland.
The warriors of the Youqi tribe are diligently training for the second stage, honing their physical strength.
The newly joined warriors of the Xiongqi tribe have begun their first stage of training, with the thirty warriors running desperately across the grassland.
As the warriors' physical training led to a massive increase in their appetite, the number of herbivores in front of the caves was also decreasing rapidly, causing rumors to circulate among the herbivores that they should not approach the territory of the two-legged beasts.
So now the warriors' hunting grounds are getting farther and farther away, but the warriors don't care anymore; they consider going far as exercise.
Chen Ke taught the women to recognize various useful elixirs and to prepare them according to the methods provided by the system. These would be their capital for living in the Shenya Dynasty in the future.
Chen Ke has begun cultivating the third realm, refining his skin to create a membrane, which greatly increases the defensive power of his skin.
Breaking through this barrier grants the skin strong resistance to fire and ice, making it difficult for ordinary swords to penetrate. Furthermore, it allows control over heat dissipation, the ability to freely close all 480 million pores, and the ability to control skin color depth for invisibility and camouflage. The body membrane also aids in respiration, allowing the user to remain underwater for up to an hour without issue.
During battle, the muscles swell with blood, the veins become as thick as tree roots, and the skin and hair can transform into animal fur or even scales depending on the technique.
Chen Ke did not cultivate that kind of technique, but instead cultivated the technique he obtained when he transmigrated before, the Supreme Taiyi Technique, which simply and directly enhanced his physique and combat skills.
At this moment, Chen Ke was soaking in boiling medicinal soup. The newly made stone pot was huge, placed on a stone with a raging fire burning underneath.
This is the scene that the Flame Eagle King saw when it flew back at high speed with the flower in its beak.
Startled, he spread his claws and flapped his wings to land.
"Are you going to cook yourselves since you have nothing to eat?" King Flame Eagle asked anxiously, spitting out the flower from his mouth.
Chen Ke opened his eyes and saw Yan Ying Wang staring intently at him, gripping the edge of the stone pot.
"No, I was practicing body refinement. You came back from picking flowers?"
"Oh, right, my flower!" The Flame Eagle King picked up the flower from the ground again and handed it to Chen Ke.
The moment Chen Ke received it, information about the flower appeared in his mind.
Blood Spirit Flower, a Heavenly-grade Immortal Herb. Only one Blood Spirit Flower can bloom from 100,000 Blood Spirit Vines, and it only blooms once every three years. When the flower first opens, it is snow-white and transparent. As it blooms, bright red veins appear on the petals, like blood. It is best to pick it at this time. Eating it can refine the Blood Spirit Sacred Bone, and one will surely become a Martial Saint in the later stages.
"My God, didn't the female lead Lin Yue eat the Blood Spirit Flower? Later, she, her maid, and her son all became martial saints revered by everyone." The system suddenly exclaimed loudly.
Chen Ke was also somewhat surprised; this was too much of a coincidence.
Seeing Chen Ke's surprised expression, Yan Ying Wang assumed he was stunned by the flower, and a smug look immediately appeared in his eyes. "How is it? Isn't this flower beautiful? Isn't it more beautiful than the ones you picked before?"
Chen Ke: ""
I never expected the Flame Eagle King to have such a strong competitive spirit...
Do you know what this flower is called?
Flame Eagle King scoffed, "Whatever it's called, just tell me if it's pretty or not!"
Chen Ke: "...Beautiful."
The Flame Eagle King raised his head arrogantly, "Remember to fry those 'liu liu worms' for this great king."
"Okay, I'll fry as many as you want." After saying that, Chen Ke paused for a moment and asked, "Where did you pick these flowers?"
Flame Eagle King: "The Wilderness Forest."
Chen Ke thought to himself, "No wonder it took so long. But Lin Yue also escaped into the Wilderness Forest. According to the plot, she should have picked and eaten the flower, but now the Flame Eagle King has brought it back..."
Did you encounter anything while picking the flowers?
Flame Eagle King: "We encountered a group of gibbones and a female biped."
A female two-legged creature? It took Chen Ke a while to realize that two-legged creatures are humans, and a female two-legged creature... that most likely means Lin Yue.
When Chen Ke asked about this, Yan Ying Wang, wanting to show off his intelligence, continued, "She even tried to steal my flowers, but how could I let her succeed? I just grabbed the flowers with my mouth and picked them, while she was still fighting with those gibbones!"
Just as he finished showing off, Flame Eagle King froze. Oh no! Would the two-legged beast in front of him blame him for not saving the female two-legged beast? After all, winter was coming soon, and two-legged beasts couldn't survive the winter in the Wild Forest, could they?
Just as Yan Ying Wang was worried, Chen Ke praised him directly, "Well done!"
Flame Eagle King: ? ? ?
Chen Ke: "Thank you. These extra flowers are very important to me. It's amazing that you didn't let that person take them."
The Flame Eagle King's tail suddenly twitched, but he didn't notice, still stammering modestly, "...I'm...just average, after all, I am the Flame Eagle King..."
Chen Ke smiled but didn't expose him. He told Yan Ying Wang to tell the tribesmen to go dig up crickets and he would fry them for him that night.
The Flame Eagle King was extremely excited and flew away with a flap of its wings.
Chen Ke looked at the Blood Spirit Flower in his hand and chuckled. Without the Blood Spirit Flower, Lin Yue couldn't achieve the Saint Bone, which would make their revenge much easier.
At this moment, Lin Yue finally escaped from the gibbons in the wild forest. She was covered in blood, her clothes were tattered, and her hair was disheveled. She was in a terrible state, and there was no trace of the noble and aloof fairy of the Divine Kingdom of Lin Yue.
Moreover, the mere thought of the Blood Spirit Flower being snatched away by that wretched eagle right under her nose makes her so angry that she grits her teeth and her face contorts with rage.
"Heh heh, Flame Eagle King! Just you wait, one day I, Lin Yue, will avenge myself for stealing your beauty!"
The Flame Eagle King, whom Lin Yue remembered vividly, exclaimed, "Ah, right, right, catch the slippery bugs!"
Buku jumped up with joy upon realizing he had guessed the Flame Eagle King's meaning. "Yes, Lord Flame Eagle King, I'll go tell them right now!"
With Buku's help, the tribesmen in the cave soon came out with tools such as wooden sticks and stone axes.
"Ah, it's been a long time, Lord Flame Eagle King."
Flame Eagle King: "Hahaha, long time no see."
"Greetings, Lord Flame Eagle King."
"Haha, hello, hello." King Yan Ying couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Alas, being too popular isn't good either. Now he doesn't even have time to admire the moon alone at night.
While the tribesmen were busy digging for worms for the Flame Eagle King, Chen Ke ate the Blood Spirit Flower without hesitation.
