Chapter 3654: Meng Tong’s greedy mouth
Translator: 549690339
“It’d be great if that idiot Lin Yi had a lot of good Jade in his hands!” Meng Tong couldn’t help but look forward to it.
It was an innate nature to hate hard work. Compared to digging in the Kuangqu all day and taking a few pieces of useless Jade from Meng jueguang to exchange for Lin Yi’s good Jade, this was much more to his liking.
In fact, Meng Tong was starting to regret it. He regretted that he was so big-mouthed back then and let that idiot Lin Yi know that he couldn’t tell the difference between good and bad Jade. Now that he thought about it, he was really stupid!
If she hadn’t let it slip, the other newbies wouldn’t have known that she could trade useless Jade for good Jade with the idiot Lin Yi. Wouldn’t all of Lin Yi’s good Jade be hers then?
That was a total of 15 pieces of good Jade! Even if he worked hard in the seventh Kuangqu for three months, he would not be able to earn half of those 15 pieces of jade! If that was the case, why would he have to go to the Kuangqu area every day? he could even lie down in his cave abode and play with spirit Jade!
But this kind of good thing could only be imagined. No matter how stupid Meng Tong was, he knew that if he did that, the Jade he got from Lin Yi would most likely end up in Meng jueguang’s hands. At most, he’d be able to get some leftovers.
After sighing for a while, Meng Tong had to report to Kuangqu as usual. However, when he passed through the long underground corridor and was about to enter the mining area, he suddenly stopped.
“What’s this?” Meng Tong couldn’t help but look around. He had clearly caught a glimpse of a black and white shadow darting past his eyes. The Shadow’s movements were quite Swift.
A normal person might not have been able to react in time, but Meng Tong was a Sky Class full master after all. He didn’t see what it looked like, but he was sure that the shadow that had just passed him was a spirit beast.
“A spirit beast! That meat is much more delicious than the meat of ordinary wild beasts!” Thinking of this, Meng Tong couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.
Logically speaking, Sky Class Masters should be able to completely skip eating and just absorb the Qi from the world every day to meet their needs-they didn’t need to eat anymore.
However, this didn’t mean that all the Sky Class and above didn’t eat. In fact, most of the practitioners would still eat from time to time due to their habits. Of course, it wasn’t necessary for them to eat now, and it was purely to satisfy their cravings.
Take Meng Tong for example-he’d been a Sky Class for years already, and even though he didn’t need to eat, he still had the habit of eating all sorts of delicacies every day, even going out every few days to hunt a few rare beasts for a sumptuous meal.
From his experience, even the meat of a rare wild beast could not be compared to the meat of a spirit beast.
One must know that spirit beasts were equivalent to cultivators among wild beasts. Even the weakest of them were the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Their meat was not only far more delicious than ordinary wild beasts, but more importantly, it contained spiritual energy. Even for cultivators, it was a rare tonic. Its effect was not comparable to that of medicinal pills, but it was not much worse.
Before Meng Tong had come to the welcoming new pavilion, he had often feasted on the spirit beasts in the deep mountains and old forests of the North Island. Of course, they were all relatively weak spirit beasts of yellow rank or even non-class, so it was not too difficult to capture them. Secondly, it would not cause too much of a commotion and attract the attention of others. This was of great importance.
The Sky Class Island was different from the secular world. In the secular world, as long as you had the strength, you could kill any spirit beast you wanted. But on the Sky Class Island, you couldn ‘t. Even the weakest spirit beast could be killed. If this kind of thing was exposed, it would be a big problem.
There was no other reason. On this Sky Class Island, spirit beasts were cultivators just like humans. They could even transform into human forms after becoming stronger. In the pursuit of the heavenly Dao, everyone was on equal footing.
The southern part of the sky-class Island was known as the spirit beast Island. The powerful spirit beast clan gathered there, and their strength was no less than any human sect.
The declaration issued by the spirit beast clan clearly stated that anyone who dared to kill a spirit beast on the Sky Class Island would be regarded as an enemy of the entire spirit beast clan, and they would not rest until one of them was dead. This declaration had been acknowledged by several top sects on the middle Island through the relentless efforts of the spirit beast clan.
This way, not only the spirit beasts on the southern part of the sky-class Island, but also the lives of the spirit beasts on the other islands would be protected to a certain extent.
However, the spirit beast clan’s true power was ultimately limited to the South of the Sky Class Island. Although the human masters in other places would avoid it in public, they might not really take the declaration seriously in private.
For example, a cultivator like Meng Tong, who was used to eating, would never kill a spirit beast in front of others. However, behind his back, he had eaten at least 80, if not 100, weak spirit beasts. Anyway, as long as no one found out and reported him, he would be able to eat him up without anyone knowing.
“I wonder what kind of spirit beast it will be!” Meng Tong’s eyes lit up. He immediately turned around and began to search for the figure.
He had been in the welcoming new pavilion for more than twenty days. However, he had not been able to eat a single bite of meat because of the surrounding environment. He had been holding it in for so many days that his mouth had long lost its flavor. Now that a spirit beast had taken the initiative to come to his door, how could he let it go?
The spirit Jade Hall was heavily guarded both inside and outside. However, there were no guards in the corridor in front of the mining area.
This made things convenient for Meng Tong. After all, if there were guards everywhere, he couldn’t openly capture spirit beasts, or he would be arrested as a suspicious person.
However, Meng Tong searched around the corridor but could not find the shadow of the spirit beast. When he finally decided to give up and resentfully returned to the Kuangqu, he once again found the black and white figure in front of the gate.
“A Curly Bear?” Meng Tong’s eyes widened when he saw the small figure sneakily trying to sneak through the gate.
When it stood up, it was less than half the height of a human. It had a round head, a chubby body, and a body full of milky white fur. Only its eyes, ears, and chest were black. It was clearly a Curly Bear cub.
Of course, it couldn’t be said to be a pure Cub. In terms of age, this Curly Bear was at least a teenager!
