Chapter 317: Entering Boundless Heaven (2)
“What is this? It’s so ugly!” Leng Ruoxue said disdainfully, her beautiful eyes full of provocation.
“You’re the ugly one!” the earth alligator roared furiously.
“Freak, it said I’m ugly!” Leng Ruoxue complained coquettishly.
“It’s okay, Xue’er. I don’t mind,” Freak teased with a light smile on his lips.
Leng Ruoxue nodded with satisfaction and deliberately said loudly, “Okay, what should we do with this big guy?”
“Although this thing is ugly, I heard that its meat is quite delicious.” Freak’s shiny black eyes sized up the earth alligator.
“Damn humans, I won’t let you go. You’re dead!” the earth alligator roared. It was so angry! These two damn ugly monsters actually discussed how to deal with it in front of it and said that they wanted to eat its meat. Hmph! It would let these two humans know who would be eating whom!
With a frightened face, Leng Ruoxue snuggled up to Freak. “Freak, we’re being threatened. I’m so scared!”
“Don’t be afraid. I will protect you,” Freak said domineeringly.
Seeing Leng Ruoxue and the others ignoring him, the middle-aged man shouted again, “Hurry up and run! Leave this place!”
“None of you can run away. I’ll deal with them after I kill you,” the earth alligator said confidently to the middle-aged man. It quickly raised its giant tail, bringing forth gusts of wind that hit the middle-aged man like knives…
“This ugly thing is quite powerful,” Leng Ruoxue said coldly.
“Quill, go teach it a lesson,” Leng Ruoxue ordered. If she didn’t do anything, the people she finally found with great difficulty would die.
“Yes, Master.” Quill jumped into the air and flew above the earth alligator. His huge eagle claws directly pressed on the earth alligator’s head. With a crack, his sharp claws instantly sliced through its head. The mountain-like earth alligator didn’t have the slightest ability to resist and died…
Uh!?The middle-aged man and the youth looked at the scene in front of them in astonishment, dumbfounded.?This… this black eagle is really too fierce and terrifying…?They were speechless for a long time…
When they returned to their senses, Quill had already skinned and cleaned up the mountain-like earth alligator…
“Thank you for saving us.” The middle-aged man led the youth to Leng Ruoxue and the others and bowed respectfully in gratitude.
“It’s nothing. Don’t take it to heart,” Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
“This earth alligator…” Leng Ruoxue looked at the earth alligator again but was interrupted by the middle-aged man before she could say anything.
“Of course this earth alligator belongs to you,” the middle-aged man said tactfully. Although these people were Spiritual Sovereigns on the surface, they had to be from a big family to have such a powerful eagle. Moreover, these people were his saviors. Even if they were not, he would definitely not be able to afford to provoke them. He knew his limits.
“I’ll take the skin and spirit crystal of the earth alligator. We’ll share half the meat,” Leng Ruoxue said generously. Although she had saved them, she also needed their help, so she wouldn’t be stingy when it was time to be generous.
“Ah! Thank you, Miss.” The middle-aged man was stunned, but he quickly reacted and didn’t decline, his face full of gratitude.
“Miss, I might be weak, but please feel free to tell me if there’s anything you need my help with,” the middle-aged man continued. He really didn’t expect that not only did he keep his life, but he could also obtain half of the earth alligator’s meat. Although half of the earth alligator meat wasn’t much compared to the value of the entire earth alligator, it was a considerable windfall for him, enough for his family to eat for half a year.
“I do have something to ask you,” Leng Ruoxue said indifferently.
“Please ask away, Miss,” the middle-aged man said very respectfully.
“I want to know where we are and what’s the situation here,” Leng Ruoxue asked bluntly.
“Miss isn’t from the Boundless Heaven Continent, right?” the middle-aged man said in realization.
“No.” Leng Ruoxue didn’t intend to hide it.
“Miss, our continent is called the Boundless Heaven Continent. We are currently in the northernmost region of the Prayer Mountain Range in the Boundless Heaven Continent. There is little rain all year round here, and the weather is hot. Therefore, this can be considered the poorest and most barren region of the Boundless Heaven Continent. Moreover, the population here is very small,” the middle-aged man explained simply.
“Where is the nearest town?” Leng Ruoxue asked.
“Miss, to be honest, there are mountains everywhere here, and it will take at least ten days to reach the nearest town.”
“Miss, my family lives in the village at the foot of the mountain. If you don’t mind, please come to my house to rest first. I’ll tell you in detail,” the middle-aged man suggested.
“Okay, take us to your house!” Leng Ruoxue nodded in agreement after some thought.
Seeing Leng Ruoxue and the others sitting on the black eagle’s back, the middle-aged man hesitated. “Miss, we…”
“Come up and lead the way for Quill,” Leng Ruoxue said.
“Yes.” The middle-aged man stored half of the earth alligator meat in his ring and then carefully sat on Quill’s back with his son.
“Don’t be nervous. Quill won’t throw you down.” Leng Ruoxue saw the father and son’s scared expressions and comforted them.
“Okay.” The middle-aged man nodded. Alas, there was no way he couldn’t be nervous! The blow that this black eagle used to kill the earth alligator had pierced too deeply into his heart. He was afraid just thinking about it.
