1451 Your World…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The pitch-black sky, the swamp that filled the land, and the ruins formed a sense of dense gloom and oppression.
In this dark and drowsy world of Suix, there was actually a campfire and a human old man beside it.
This scene was bizarre.
Xu Qing couldn’t tell if the other party was a human, monster, or a god… However, the vigilance and nervousness in his heart had reached the extreme. This was because he could sense that ever since he stepped into the outer sea, that faintly discernible gaze… had come from this place. To be precise, it had come from the old man in front of him.
This answer was also the source of his nervousness.
The other party’s intentions were unclear.
Xu Qing could roughly imagine that the other party had been paying attention to him ever since he stepped into the outer sea until they met at this moment… To be able to do this meant that the strength of the person in front of him had probably surpassed the Divine Platform.
‘Could he be trapped here?’
Just as this thought rose, it was immediately denied by him. He had come into contact with many gods and understood that there were some terrifying existences who could read someone’s thoughts with just a glance.
Hence, he put away all his thoughts and bowed to the old man.
“Greetings, Senior!”
At the side, Erniu’s face was pale and his pupils contracted. His body trembled slightly and the churning in his heart was already monstrous.
With just a glance from the other party, he felt as though his soul had been seen through. All his secrets seemed to be revealed.
Erniu searched his memories and was very sure that he had never seen this old man in front of him. Even with the memories of his previous lives, he was unfamiliar with this person.
However, his uniqueness allowed Erniu to judge the other party’s cultivation more accurately than Xu Qing.
‘What realm is this? Summer Immortal? True God? Or… above the Summer Immortal? Above the True God Realm?’
At the thought of this, the captain’s breathing became hurried and his scalp felt a little numb. He hurriedly revealed a fawning expression and bowed respectfully to the old man who was grilling.
“Junior Chen Erniu greets Senior. Thank you for granting me this name. I will definitely do my best to repay such a great kindness in the future! In the future, I’ll be called Fur Monster!”
When Erniu’s words landed in Xu Qing’s ears, they immediately resounded like thunder.
He understood his eldest senior brother too well. It was extremely rare for the other party to be so respectful immediately.
One had to know that even facing Jade Flowing Dust, Eldest Senior Brother only bootlicked.
But now, he actually said that the other party had granted him a name…
To be able to make Eldest Senior Brother do this, Xu Qing felt how terrifying this old man was even more deeply. Hence, he became even more careful. Beside the fire, the old man had a spurious smile on his face. His gaze then landed on Xu Qing and Erniu again.
“Fur Monster, you have the aura of a curse on you… Interesting. Why do I feel like you were the one who cast this curse on yourself? You’ve had quite a past, I’ll consider you a human for now.”
As soon as he said this, Erniu laughed awkwardly.
As the old man spoke, he flipped the iron meat skewer in his hand over. Waves of rotting smell spread out, making one feel nauseous. However, after he smelled it, he swallowed his saliva, as if the meat was very delicious.
“Are you guys eating or not?”
The old man asked.
Xu Qing hesitated.
Erniu hurriedly shook his head. Ever since he ate the cold air and hair grew all over his body, his stomach had been a little bad during this period. Most importantly, he didn’t dare to eat it.
Although he had once felt that there was nothing his stomach couldn’t digest, looking at the old man’s gaze, he felt that it was better not to eat.
“We won’t eat. Erm… we came here after eating our fill.”
When the old man heard this, his expression darkened.
Immediately, the oppressive feeling in the surroundings intensified. The sky rumbled as though it was about to shatter. The ground churned and fog rose. The swamp seemed to be about to dry up!
This scene caused Xu Qing and Erniu’s hearts to skip a beat.
Erniu’s expression instantly turned solemn. He then turned to look at Xu Qing with an incomparably solemn expression.
“Junior Brother, hurry up and accompany the elder to eat. Respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue of our human race. The old man is old and you are young!”
Xu Qing glanced at Erniu and pondered inwardly.
He understood the meaning in the captain’s words. This old man was bizarre. If they continued to refuse, the old man might fall out with them. Moreover, his body was special…
At the thought of this, determination appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes. He walked to the fire and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing Xu Qing coming over, the old man threw a meat skewer over.
Xu Qing’s expression was solemn as he took it. He looked at the meat skewer in front of him and smelled the nauseating taste. He gritted his teeth fiercely and placed it to the side of his mouth to take a bite.
At the next instant, his expression suddenly became strange. He lowered his head and looked at the meat skewer in his hand before taking another bite. After chewing and swallowing, Xu Qing felt the incomparable deliciousness and the heat in his body. After taking three to five bites silently, he finished the meat skewer.
Not far away, Erniu was a little curious when he saw all of this. Just as he was about to ask Xu Qing, the old man beside the fire had an inexplicable smile on his face as he looked at Xu Qing.
“Is it delicious?”
Xu Qing nodded. This meat of unknown origin could be said to be the most delicious thing he had eaten in his life.
The old man smiled and grabbed at the empty space to his right. Immediately, a loud sound rang out from his right. A wall of flesh seemed to have been absorbed from afar and came over with an overwhelming force.
This wall was as tall as the sky and vast and endless. It was like the wall of this world. As it got closer, the world seemed to become smaller.
Finally, the vast meat wall stopped beside the old man. The old man’s hand slashed across the meat wall and cut off a piece of meat, skewering it on an iron stick before continuing to roast it.
This scene caused Xu Qing to gasp.
Erniu’s eyeballs almost fell out as he stared fixedly at the wall…
How was this a wall? This was clearly the flesh of this terrifying creature!
Seeing this, Erniu licked his lips and hurriedly spoke.
“Elder, um… actually, I wasn’t full earlier…”
“I’m not full either!” The old man calmly spoke and passed another skewer to Xu Qing.
Erniu felt aggrieved but he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only look at Xu Qing eagerly.
Xu Qing hurriedly took it and ignored Erniu as he continued eating.
The burning sensation in his body grew increasingly intense. Every time he took a bite of the meat, his aura would erupt explosively.
The current him naturally understood that this meat skewer could be said to be an opportunity for him!
His soul was nourished and its connection with his body became even closer.
Hence, he took one bite after another.
Erniu became increasingly anxious and he almost drooled. However, he didn’t dare to get close. In the end, he could only silently tell himself, ‘Isn’t it just a piece of meat? What’s the big deal…’
Just like that, under Erniu’s eager gaze, Xu Qing and the old man each ate several skewers, but Xu Qing finally couldn’t eat anymore.
Although he still wanted to eat it and his body could accommodate it, his soul showed signs of saturation after it strengthened by a great extent.
When the old man saw this, a smile appeared on his face.
“Since you like it so much, fine. I still have some fruits here, so I’ll roast them.” As the old man spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed at the air. Immediately, a string of black grapes flew out of thin air and landed in his hand.
There were more than 30 grapes clustered together, and every one of them was plump.
However… after Xu Qing looked over, he vaguely felt that they were a little familiar.
This lasted until he saw that these grapes were actually trembling. Moreover, one of them had a gap like an eye.
Xu Qing’s heart trembled violently.
“This is…”
Erniu felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His heart was also trembling violently.
While the two of them were in shock, the old man pinched a grape with two fingers. After a faintly discernible heart-rending wail, he pulled it down and threw it to the side.
Immediately, the grape grew larger.
It transformed into a huge eye that emitted a piercing light.
It was the sun that appeared in the divine dream Xu Qing and Erniu had encountered on their way.
At that time, Erniu had said that this god was terrifying and Its dream was actually half-real.
And now… such a god actually appeared in the old man’s hand and became a fruit in his words.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and Erniu’s mind rumbled.
They stared blankly as the old man cut off some flesh from the huge sun and made a few skewers…
He was about to roast them.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and immediately stood up, speaking respectfully.
“Senior, let me do it.”
The old man smiled and passed them to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing caught them and felt a huge force erupt in his hand, causing him to fall abruptly. At the next instant, he circulated his cultivation and used all his strength in his body before he could barely hold them steadily.
He placed them tremblingly on the fire.
Erniu looked at the grapes. The desire in his heart was endless, so he immediately patted his chest.
“Senior, 1 think this fire is about to extinguish. I’m good at blowing fire. I’m very good at it.”
As he spoke, Erniu ran over and squatted there, blowing at the fire.
The old man looked at the two of them with a spurious smile but he didn’t stop them.
Just like that, under Xu Qing and Erniu’s efforts, the grapes were finally roasted.
The first skewer naturally belonged to the old man.
For the second skewer, Xu Qing looked at his eldest senior brother who was working hard.
“Give it to him,” the old man said casually.
Erniu was excited. He took the grape flesh skewer from Xu Qing and ate them in big mouthfuls, his eyes shining.
Xu Qing took a deep breath and took a bite. Immediately, his body rumbled.
After his soul was saturated, it actually strengthened again, especially the divine source in his body, which also began to surge.
For a moment, other than the sound of the fire burning and swallowing, there was no other sound.
A long time later, Xu Qing really couldn’t eat anymore. Seeing that his eldest senior brother wasn’t satisfied, he simply passed half of his skewer over.
Erniu was instantly touched and wolfed down the food ravenously.
When the old man saw this scene, he patted his stomach and stood up.
“It’s fate that we met. The little thing I am waiting for is about to arrive. In that case, this old man will leave.”
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Qing and Erniu.
“Although you aren’t my clansmen, you’re still humans. However, the world you’re in actually attracted Desolate… I wonder if it’s a good or bad thing for the living beings of your world.”
“As for you, kid…”
The old man looked at Xu Qing.
“The one who helped shape your physical body, they must be your elder. They’ve got quite the courage and walk a wild path, bold and daring. But you shouldn’t have come to the Primordial Sea. Your aura here will affect all the star rings.”
“This is also the reason why I lured you here after sensing you. I wanted to see your body formed from the flesh and blood of Desolate.”
“This is an unprecedented path.”
“The human race in this world has too little understanding of the Primordial Sea, so it’s normal for them not to know the reason why they shouldn’t come here.”
As the old man spoke, his gaze landed on Xu Qing’s eyes that were filled with admiration.
“Kid, your character isn’t bad either. You know how to come and help. You’re not someone who eats for free. This Fur Monster has also contributed. Forget it, I’ll help you remove the dirty things on your bodies.”
As he spoke, the old man waved his hand.
Immediately, a fiery wind blew toward Xu Qing and Erniu.
At the next instant, Xu Qing heard a mournful wail echoing behind him.
Two blurry souls transformed from his and Erniu’s bodies. They rolled back in the hot wind and floated into the distance. These two souls fused and transformed into the little girl they had met earlier.
It had never left!
After appearing, the little girl looked at the old man in horror.
“Scram,” the old man said calmly.
The little girl trembled and instantly disappeared.
Xu Qing and the captain’s hearts stirred. They immediately stood up and thanked him. There were countless questions in their minds and they were about to ask.
The old man suddenly lifted his head and looked up with a smile.
“The little thing 1 am waiting for is here..”
