Chapter 1203

There were quite a number of people in the Rich Python Tribe. These people usually had their own missions, so they didn't know much about each other.

Every half a year, the Fertile Python Tribe would have a symbolic gathering. Of course, this gathering was not mandatory, and they could not come.

The purpose of the gathering was very simple. In addition to getting to know each other, it was to eat meat and drink wine. The meat was from the warbeasts hunted by the Virtual Realm. This was unique to the Zhan Wu Continent. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't transform into human form, but they were very strong.

Basically, to deal with the weakest soldier level warbeast, several Virtual Realm masters would need to work together. And the realm of a soldier level warbeast was only equivalent to Earth Prime.

It could be said that every Earth Prime warbeast could kill enemies above their level.

After killing the warbeast, the hardest material of the warbeast would be sold outside. As for the meat, because it was not valuable, it would be kept for the gathering.

The wine was of the worst quality, even worse than the one Ao De gave Zi Chen. One Rule Fragment could buy ten bottles.

But thinking about it, just ten bottles of wine could be exchanged for half of an Earth Prime's life, this thing was still very precious.

But even so, many people still couldn't drink such inferior wine. There were still many people looking forward to the half-yearly gathering.

In the evening, a bonfire was raised and a group of cultivators gathered.

There were more than two hundred people at this gathering, less than a hundred of them were in the Reality Realm, and the rest were in the Earth Prime.

When Zi Chen and Ao De arrived, the people here had already gathered in groups of three or five. When they saw Ao De arrive, they all stood up with respectful expressions. But when they saw Zi Chen next to Ao De, their expressions became a little surprised.

"Who is this person? Why is he with Ao De?"

"I've never seen him before. He should be a new Earth Prime."

There were whispers all around.

Ao De coughed softly and said, "Let me introduce you. This is the new Zi Chen. Everyone, please take care of him in the future."

As soon as Ao De's words fell, everyone's expression changed. They had been here for a long time, but they had never heard Ao De introduce a newcomer with the words "take care of him".

"He's just a punching bag," Chen Xiang said coldly in the distance.

On the other side, Jie Huan had also arrived. He introduced, "These are also newcomers. This is Chen Xiang, Luo Ao, Zeith, Dirk, and Morrison."

Gu Huan introduced three Emptiness Realm experts and two Earth Prime experts. Among the six people he brought this time, five of them followed behind Gu Huan.

After the introductions, the party began.

Zi Chen was pulled in front of a man by Auder. Zi Chen had seen this man once before. It was the same man who spoke to Auder before he entered the hall.

"Jesse, this is the Zi Chen I told you about," Olde introduced.

Jesse was wearing a suit of armor and his aura was concealed. However, Zi Chen could still feel a strong aura coming from him. He was probably one of the few experts in the Emptiness Realm.

"Greetings, Sir," Zi Chen said respectfully.

When Jesse heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Why are you calling me Lord? Since Aude brought you here, then we are family. Just call me Jesse from now on."

"Is this … appropriate?" Zi Chen hesitated.

Beside him, Auder smiled and said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Just call him Jesse."

Zi Chen nodded.

Xing Dao Li had said that in this world, no one could be trusted except for yourself. However, Zi Chen was very glad that he met Auder. This man was very good to him and it could be seen that he had a good heart.

In a world full of darkness and infighting, it was very rare for him to be able to maintain such a mentality. Of course, he was also a wonderful person.

After that, the three of them drank wine together.

The wine tasted very bad, even worse than the wine in the mortal world. However, Zi Chen felt very comfortable drinking it because he was in a good mood.

"Do you feel that the wine tastes bad?" Jesse suddenly asked.

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No, it's good when I'm in a good mood."

Jesse laughed when he heard this. "Haha, Aude was right. You are a wonderful person, a wonderful person."

Zi Chen seemed to have let go of the wine. He laughed and said, "To be able to sit and drink with an Earth Prime like me, the two of you are wonderful people."

The two of them were startled when they heard this. They looked at each other and then burst out laughing.

The hearty laughter came out frequently, causing many people to look at them. At the same time, it also attracted many complicated gazes.

Jesse turned his gaze back to the wine and said, "Those who live in this world are all cultivators, and they were also cultivators in the other world. They were even high and mighty and could get whatever they wanted. Naturally, they would not personally make wine. Therefore, this directly led to the fact that the entire Zhanwu Continent's wine quality is extremely poor, but the price is ridiculously high."

Pointing to the wine bottle in his hand, Jesse said, "This thing is actually brewed by us. It tastes bad, but it can still be sold for the price of one Rule Fragment or ten bottles, which is equivalent to half of an Earth Prime's life."

Zi Chen nodded. The things in this world were indeed wonderful.

Wine was more precious than life.

Aude also sighed and said, "Yes, this thing is extremely bad, but the price is not low. But thinking back, we lost a lot of people to get this recipe."

Jesse drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp and said, "At that time, there were a total of ten of us, called the Ten Brothers. We went to the Black Tribe to rob something. We got it, but only five of the Ten Brothers survived."

The two of them were reminiscing about the past.

"There were only five of us left, but in the end, Second Brother and Fourth Brother also left."

Looking at the bonfire in front of him, Aude was a little absent-minded. After a moment, he adjusted his mood and asked, "Third Brother, why did Second Brother and Fourth Brother leave?"

Jesse's expression became gloomy. He shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure about this, but it is said that it is because of Ying 'er."

"Ying 'er, Second Sister-in-law." Aude was startled.

Jesse shook his head and said, "I don't know the details. It's just my guess."

Aude's expression changed several times, but in the end, he fell silent.

"Punching bag, so you are here." Suddenly, a voice sounded from not far away.

Zi Chen, who was drinking and listening to the other's reminiscence and gossip, was startled. He immediately turned around. Jesse and Aude also turned around. Their expressions had returned to normal.

"Punching bag, it's me." Luo Ao came forward with wine.

"And me, punching bag." An Emptiness Realm expert came forward.

"It has been five months since we parted, punching bag. I miss you." Chen Xiang also came over with a smile.

He glanced at Zi Chen with disdain, then looked at Jesse and Aude and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lords. We are here to reminisce with Zi Chen."

Aude nodded expressionlessly. Jesse, on the other hand, was very interested. He asked, "Of course we can reminisce, but I don't understand. He is clearly called Zi Chen, so why do you call him punching bag?"

Chen Xiang's interest was piqued when he heard this. Moreover, this was also the purpose of his visit, so he said, "Lords, you may not know, but when he first came, he looked like he was being bullied. Moreover, the Lord Leader also said that he was a punching bag, the kind that did not fight back and did not talk back when scolded …"

After wantonly making up Zi Chen, Chen Xiang 'inadvertently' looked at the wine of the two lords and said in surprise, "Eh, punching bag, you are drinking with the two lords. Why don't you take out the good wine you have?"

"Good wine, what good wine?" Jesse asked.

"Monkey wine, very mellow. We have never tasted it before, but we have smelled it from afar. Almost all of us are drunk just by smelling it. Unfortunately, punching bag contributed this wine to Lord Leader, so we can't drink it." This time, it was Luo Ao who spoke.

Zi Chen said indifferently, "There is no more wine, you can leave. Moreover, we don't seem to be familiar with each other, so you can't control what wine I drink."

They did not expect that punching bag would not give them any face today and even dare to refute. The faces of several people became a little ugly.

Jesse looked at Zi Chen and asked, "Zi Chen, you really have monkey wine."

Zi Chen nodded and said, "There is one more."

Chen Xiang heard and shouted, "You are lying, you just said there is no more. You dare to deceive Lord Leader."

Zi Chen coldly glanced at Chen Xiang and said indifferently, "Scram."

Chen Xiang's face changed again, and he was furious. However, after meeting Zi Chen's cold gaze, his heart trembled, and then he abruptly stopped what he was going to say.

Jesse turned around and looked at the five people with ugly faces, and said jokingly, "He already asked the five of you to scram, why are you still not leaving?"

The faces of the five people became even more ugly, but they did not dare to be rude. After bowing, they left.

Of course, when they left, the five people's eyes were filled with hatred.

Regarding this, Zi Chen slightly frowned, but he quickly shook his head. No matter what Jesse's words meant, it was not a big deal.

It was just an Emptiness Realm Expert, it was not like he had not killed one before.

After the five of them left, Jesse looked at Zi Chen, who didn't seem to care at all. He laughed and said, "Zi Chen, we're all friends. How could you hide something from us? That's too much."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "This is not hiding it, but I feel that it has a bad influence. After all, there are so many people here, and we are the only ones who drink good wine."

"Who cares what influence it has, let me tell you, in this world, the only influence is one's fist, strength, and battle power. Whoever has the biggest fist and the strongest strength is the boss. Not to mention me, even if you have the strength, go challenge Big Brother today and defeat him, then the position of Patriarch will be yours."

"In this world, there are no rules, strength determines everything." Jesse said.

Zi Chen heard this and smiled bitterly, "I naturally know this, but I don't have the strength, so shouldn't I be more low-key?"

Jesse said with a mocking smile, "Low-key, sitting with us, it is impossible for you to be low-key, and … according to my observation, you don't look like a low-key person."

"Well, I was successfully provoked by you."

Zi Chen smiled, then threw out two bottles of monkey wine, and took out one for himself.

In the distance, after seeing this scene, a cold smile appeared on Jie Huan's face.
