Chapter 178
Chapter 178
In the forest, the gigantic corpse of the Longhu Beast was lying there like a small hill.
The young man from Floating Snow City was still proud of himself, thinking that he had successfully deceived the other party. However, the next moment, the young man trembled as if he had been electrocuted.
"Impressive. You actually killed the Longhu Beast. You really put me to shame."
The burly man laughed and walked out from the darkness.
"Hehe, young and fearsome. Not bad. You have a bright future." The old man smiled.
"Trash. Not bad. You didn't show off before. I didn't expect you to be an expert." Zi Chen teased the other party.
The three of them appeared and walked side by side.
"It's you guys. Didn't you leave?" The young man's body trembled as his eyes flashed coldly.
Swoosh.
The blood-red spear that he had just put away appeared again, emitting a strong killing intent.
"Aiyo, a forbidden weapon."
The burly man let out a strange cry, but he did not move.
"Young man, let's talk nicely. Why do you have to use weapons?" The old man smiled, not caring at all.
Zi Chen curled his lips and shrugged, not saying anything.
"What's there to talk about? I killed the Longhu Beast. The token can only belong to me." The young man shouted.
"You alone? But there are four of us here. Don't you think being selfish is shameless? Good things should be shared." The old man asked.
"Why should I?"
"Then why should you keep it all to yourself?"
The young man pointed at the forbidden weapon in his hand and said, "Because of this. As long as I'm ruthless, all of you will die. At that time, you won't even be able to keep your lives, let alone the token. If you know what's good for you, leave quickly."
"Forbidden weapon?"
The old man smiled and said, "I admit that it's powerful, but it depends on who is using it. Do you think you can kill us with it?"
"Of course." The young man was confident.
"Then you can try. I don't dare to say anything else, but the three of us together can block the attack of the forbidden weapon. Unless you dare to use all the energy of the forbidden weapon in one go, but I don't think you have the strength to do so." The old man smiled.
"I can't use it at full power, but three times is more than enough to kill you."
"Then what do you think will happen if the three of us use the diamond to block the front?"
"You." The young man stopped talking.
The diamond was exceptionally sturdy. Although it had lost the Gold Essence, its sturdiness was still there. Even powerful forbidden artifacts could not break through it. When the three of them worked together to activate the diamond, they could indeed block the attacks of forbidden artifacts.
The young man was discouraged. He glanced at Zi Chen with resentment. It was all his fault. If it weren't for that stupid stone, he would have had the forbidden weapon. With just that old bastard and that old bastard, they wouldn't have dared to come forward.
"Alright, share."
The young man gritted his teeth, unwilling and unwilling. His eyes were filled with resentment, as if the three of them had done something that angered the heavens and the people.
"Alright, kid, don't look like you just ate a dead dog. Hurry up and find the token," the big man urged.
"Hmph." The young man gritted his teeth and stepped forward with his sword.
An hour later
"Where is it?"
"Where's the token?"
The young man began to roar, his voice rolling like thunder.
Not far away, the mountain-like corpse was gone. In its place was a beast head that was split into two, a huge piece of beast skin, large pieces of beast meat, four limbs, some extremely clean beast bones, and a pile of internal organs.
The young man spent an hour to clean the Dragon-Tiger Beast from top to bottom. Everything was cleaned out except for the token.
"Where is it? Where is the token?" The young man roared. At this moment, he was about to break down.
It was fine if they shared the token. After all, they had gained something. But now, they didn't even have the token. A rare forbidden artifact was wasted just like that.
'I hate it.'
He roared at the sky, extremely unwilling. He looked at the old man and the big man and shouted hysterically, "Where's the token? Where's the token?"
Both of them shrugged and smiled, indicating that they didn't know.
"Where's the token?" The young man roared at Zi Chen.
"Idiot, how would I know what the token is? Maybe that pile of shit is the token. You keep it first." Zi Chen said angrily.
"You're courting death."
The two of them almost fought, but the old man and the big man pulled them away.
"I'm asking you where the token is."
The young man was about to go crazy. He felt more wronged than Liu Bo. At least the latter wanted to protect his subordinates, but he was purely looking for trouble. He was just here to give away a forbidden artifact.
The young man was roaring, but the three of them didn't dare to ignore him. They just treated him like a mad dog that needed to vent.
Another half an hour passed.
The smell of barbecued meat came from the forest.
"Not bad, this thing is really nutritious."
Zi Chen held a piece of golden barbecued meat in his hand and tore it off. The grease spread and the fragrance filled the air.
"It is indeed nutritious. This is a mutated beast. It can nourish the body. Eat more." The big man's mouth was also full of barbecued meat. His words were a little unclear.
"Yes, eat more, eat more."
The old man was also smiling. He looked like he was enjoying it.
In the distance, the young man was holding his head with his hands. His eyes were red and he was blaming himself. A forbidden artifact was wasted just like that.
After eating a big mouthful of meat, Zi Chen felt warm in his stomach. It was as if he had eaten a pill. This warm current flowed directly into his body. It was very comfortable.
"It's really good stuff."
Zi Chen's eyes lit up. Looking at the mountain of meat beside him, he was thinking about how to bring all these things.
"Eating meat alone isn't enough. We should have some wine." The big man was unhappy.
"Wine? This is the wilderness. What kind of wine is there?" Zi Chen asked.
"Why not?"
The big man turned his head and looked at the young man on the other side. He shouted, "Hey, little guy, give me a few bottles of wine."
The young man ignored him. He was about to go crazy.
"Little guy, I'm talking to you. Wine, hurry up and give me wine."
"Wine, I want wine."
"Don't knock. I just want wine, not your forbidden artifact."
The big man kept talking. He was very noisy.
The young man was angry, but he couldn't do anything about it. He was really annoyed by the shouting. He took out three bottles of wine and threw them over.
"Drink, drink to death."
Each of them had a bottle. The big man opened it and took a sip. The fragrance of the wine filled the forest. At the same time, he kept talking.
"Good wine."
Suddenly, the young man was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
This wine was taken out from a spatial treasure, causing Zi Chen to feel a burst of envy and jealousy. He thought to himself, as expected of a disciple of an aristocratic family. He had power and backing, but his strength wasn't that great, yet he had a forbidden weapon and a spatial treasure.
The fragrance of the wine and meat filled the forest. The three of them ate heartily.
After eating to their heart's content, the three of them lay on the ground. They were too full and needed some time to digest.
In the distance, the young man was so hungry that his stomach was growling. Unfortunately, the barbecued meat was eaten by the three of them.
"Okay, now we should discuss how to find the token." The old man closed his mouth and said faintly.
Zi Chen immediately sat up and asked, "Isn't it gone?"
In the distance, the young man also pricked up his ears. The big man was indifferent. He was holding a wild grass in his mouth.
"Gone? Who said it's gone?" The old man asked.
"We ate all the meat. How can there be a token?"
"It's not here, but it doesn't mean it's not in other places." The old man said firmly.
"Are you sure?" Zi Chen sat down again. He didn't believe it at all.
The young man also turned his head and cursed in his heart. Old liar.
"Ten thousand years have passed. Even the Dragon-Tiger Beast has mutated. Maybe there's something wrong with the token. If it's not here, it could be somewhere else."
"Who would believe you? Maybe it was taken by the Martial Ancestor's people." Zi Chen curled his lips and closed his eyes to rest.
"It's not that I'm looking down on them, but they don't even know the name of the sect from 65,555 years ago. They are just a bunch of people who think they've hit the jackpot. They have high standards but little ability. Even if a token is placed in front of them, they wouldn't know."
Zi Chen sat up again. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course. And I'm sure that the token is within a dozen miles. Let me rest for a while and then we'll look for it together." The old man closed his eyes after saying this.
"Since it's there, let's go quickly. What are we waiting for?" The young man was the first to jump up. He was full of energy again.
Zi Chen also got up and urged them.
"No, my old arms and legs need to rest."
"Then let the ragged cloth carry you."
In the end, the four of them set off. The old man naturally walked, but the ragged cloth refused to carry him. He almost took out a forbidden weapon because of this.
With the small mountain where the Dragon-Tiger Beast was previously at as the center, it was undoubtedly a huge project to search inch by inch in a radius of more than ten miles.
It would take at least a few days with just the four of them.
Moreover, the four of them didn't trust each other and couldn't search separately. They could only search together, which was more time-consuming.
On the first day, the four of them returned at night. After a tiring day, they ate meat and drank wine again. The mountain-like beast meat here was simply very nutritious.
"Ragged cloth, you should put some of this meat in your spatial treasure. This way, we won't have to keep coming back," Zi Chen suggested.
"Chen Long, do you dare to say that again?" Chu Fei said coldly.
"Okay, Chu Fei, put some of this meat in your spatial treasure. This thing is very nutritious," Zi Chen said.
"Hmph, what do you think a spatial treasure is? A rotten bottle? You put all kinds of rubbish in it. Besides, is this a spatial treasure, country bumpkin?" Chu Fei said disdainfully. He took a bite of the barbecued meat and swallowed it.
With the small mountain as the center, four figures appeared within a dozen miles. They left early in the morning and returned late at night to search for the token.
One day, two days, three days, five days … A total of seven days passed, but the four of them found nothing. Even the mountain-like barbecued meat had decreased by a third.
The four of them searched during the day and cultivated at night. With the Vaporized Spirit Qi and the nutritious beast meat, Zi Chen's strength was increasing. There were changes happening almost every day, which attracted a lot of surprised gazes.
Occasionally, he would see a beast guarding a spiritual herb. Zi Chen would go forward and use his iron fists to smash it, and then refine the spiritual herb.
"He's really a monster."
The three of them admired Zi Chen very much. Only the old man and the big man admired him from the bottom of their hearts. However, Chu Fei didn't mean it. Moreover, the way he looked at Zi Chen was always with a strange light, which made Zi Chen feel a chill in his heart.
After ten days, they finally searched the area within a dozen miles, but found nothing.
"Old thing, are you lying?"
Chu Fei said impolitely. When they first met, he called the two of them seniors. Now, he was calling them old thing and old piece of cake.
Zi Chen didn't sympathize with the other party. He didn't believe this old thing anymore. His mouth was full of shit, and he was talking nonsense.
"Absolutely. I dare to use my dignity to guarantee it," the old man said solemnly.
"Do you have dignity?" Chu Fei rolled his eyes, and Zi Chen also agreed.
The group moved forward aimlessly, full of anger.
"Bang."
Zi Chen kicked a sharp stone sticking out of the ground. The scene of the stone being kicked away didn't happen. Instead, Zi Chen hugged his leg and jumped up.
