Chapter 2484: What expression is this?

At this moment, the three Beyond the Heavens foreign races stared dumbfounded at Ye Zhangqing and his six companions, wearing expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

How is that possible?

Why is this happening?

Uh-oh, those two are Ancient Immortal Realm cultivators; retreat now.

This sea snail had its effect, but the anticipated scene didn't appear; instead, swarms of marsh fish were caught one wave after another.

At first they didn't react, until the central Beyond the Heavens foreign race suddenly woke up, shouting in alarm, "Quickly leave!"

Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, who took action, were not Immortal Emperor Realm cultivators at all—not even Immortal Venerable Realm—but Ancient Immortal Realm cultivators.

This is utterly absurd; what are Ancient Immortal Realm cultivators doing in Great Marsh Lake?

No wonder the marsh fish pose no threat; with that level of cultivation, they're beyond what marsh fish can handle.

But these three Beyond the Heavens foreign races, trying to leave now, is obviously too late.

Only then did Ye Zhangqing's figure appear behind them, smiling faintly as he spoke.

"In such a hurry, where are you trying to go?"

Although I don't know which race these three Beyond the Heavens foreign races belong to, just by appearance you can tell they are not Human Race.

And Great Marsh Lake is almost entirely Human Race territory; Beyond the Heavens foreign races rarely appear, and even if they do, they're courting death and will soon be exterminated.

I never expected to encounter Beyond the Heavens foreign races upon my first arrival at Great Marsh Lake; this luck is not bad.

As his words fell, a terrifying pressure descended; under this pressure, the three Beyond the Heavens foreign races couldn't even muster the thought of resistance.

They were never strong to begin with; otherwise they wouldn't have come to Great Marsh Lake, and would only dare act sneakily behind the scenes.

They were easily subdued; when Ye Zhangqing brought them before Tianlin and the others, the youth immediately spoke.

"Water Spirit Clan? How could they appear in Great Marsh Lake?"

"Water Spirit Clan?"

Ye Zhangqing was doubtful; immediately, the youth gave a frank explanation.

The Water Spirit Clan is one of the Beyond the Heavens foreign races; they are naturally affinity for water, and although there are many kinds of water beyond the heavens, to the Water Spirit Clan, any kind of water is harmless to them.

Moreover, in water, the Water Spirit Clan can enhance their combat power, exerting their strength even better than elsewhere.

But the Water Spirit Clan is not near Great Marsh Lake; how could they appear here, and moreover, only these three worthless individuals came alone?

"Those marsh fish just now were probably being controlled by them; the Water Spirit Clan also has the ability to control aquatic demonic beasts."

The youth finally added.

After all the fuss, it turned out these three worthless ones were behind the scheming; now the matter is clear, and everyone's gaze naturally fell on these three Water Spirit Clan members.

Tianlin even seemed to think of something, his eyes lighting up, then unconsciously swallowing his saliva, his gaze hot as he scanned up and down these three Water Spirit Clan members.

Soon they felt Tianlin's gaze upon them; there was no helping it, mainly because he was too enthusiastic, the fervor in his eyes impossible to hide.

Moreover, under such a gaze, for some reason, the three Water Spirit Clan members unconsciously felt a chill in their hearts.

Whether captured, alive or dead, they had already accepted it.

But the human cultivator before them, looking at them with his eyes, was completely off.

This wasn't a normal gaze; it was like looking at… looking at a plate of food.

Did this human cultivator want to eat them?

An unimaginable guess immediately surfaced in their minds, though this guess was indeed somewhat too absurd.

Is this person sick? Wanting to eat them?

"What expression is this?"

One of the Water Spirit Clan members could no longer bear the pressure, coldly looking at Tianlin and questioning.

"Just give it to us straight; what's the meaning of staring at us like this?"

However, the next second, Tianlin's words left the three Water Spirit Clan members dumbfounded, confirming their guess.

Only then did Tianlin turn his head to look at Ye Zhangqing, asking with an expectant expression.

"Brother Ye, are these Water Spirit Clan members ingredients?"

"Huh??? You really are treating us as ingredients."

Upon hearing this, the three Water Spirit Clan members were stunned; "Listen, what kind of tiger-and-wolf words are these—could they even come out of a person's mouth?"

This person is definitely sick, with a major problem.

But as soon as Tianlin said that, the others also looked at Ye Zhangqing with expectant faces.

Before, they hadn't thought of that, but being reminded by Tianlin, it actually seemed possible after all.

Although they had never eaten Water Spirit Clan before, they hadn't previously encountered Ye Zhangqing either.

Those Immortal Chefs in Immortal City, compared to Ye Zhangqing, are utterly useless; just because they didn't notice doesn't mean Ye Zhangqing can't.

Numerous gazes locked onto them; in an instant, the three Water Spirit Clan members panicked completely.

Something's off; these few Human Race cultivators are extremely off.

They really want to eat us; the problem is, you guys are perverts—do you even eat Beyond the Heavens foreign races?

Being killed isn't scary, but being eaten is completely different; after all, this is something they never even imagined.

But now, they simply can't escape; there's no way to run.

Fortunately, finally, under the gaze of Tianlin, He Muqin, and the five others, Ye Zhangqing shook his head.

"Cannot."

Just now the system had no response; obviously the Water Spirit Clan is not an ingredient, so there's no way.

Upon hearing this, the five people's eyes flashed with disappointment at once; meanwhile, the three Water Spirit Clan members also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness they can't be eaten; otherwise they'd probably already be in the pot by now.

Just now, those humans' gazes were really too fervent, too frightening, making their scalps go numb involuntarily.

They hadn't even fully relaxed when they only heard Tianlin say casually.

Since we can't eat it, let's just kill it; keeping it is useless, and later we can still go to Heavenly Palace to receive a reward.

In Beyond the Heavens, Heavenly Palace naturally fully supports Human Race cultivators killing extraterrestrial races.

So regardless of not being a large-scale campaign organized by Heavenly Palace, in Beyond the Heavens, Human Race cultivators out there, as long as they can kill extraterrestrial races.

Then they can go to Heavenly Palace to receive a certain reward according to their race and cultivation level.

The amount of the reward has long been announced; cultivators who have long resided in Beyond the Heavens all know it well.

So in Beyond the Heavens, Human Race cultivators are indeed very enthusiastic about killing extraterrestrial races; after all, there are many benefits.

Out there, upon encountering extraterrestrial races, if they can win, they almost never leave any survivors, let alone let them go.

So, hearing Tianlin's words, others also didn't find it strange; encountering extraterrestrial races out there and still being able to easily kill them—otherwise, would they keep them for the New Year?

Hmm, then let's kill it.

"Tianlin, you make the move; later we'll go to Heavenly Palace to exchange things."

"Three Water Spirit Tribe members aren't many, but there are plenty of choices; that's enough."

"Then I'll make a move."

"Wait a moment."

Hearing those few people talking to themselves, the three Water Spirit Tribe members immediately went numb.
