Chapter 284: Competition Grows Ever More Intense

These people came to thank Ye Zhangqing and them, while praising, they also presented many treasures, all stolen from those demon beasts.

Obviously they regarded Ye Zhangqing and them as like-minded people.

This time, Xu Jie didn't refuse anyone, accepted everything on the list, and still said with a smiling face to everyone.

"Brothers, my Robber Forest's rise is imminent, but we must never relax; today's harvest is good, tomorrow we must continue, Huling is the opportunity for my Robber Forest's rise."

"That's natural, my Robber Forest will surely make Huling tremble at the wind this time."

"Exactly, use Huling to exalt the might of my Robber Forest."

Having been stirred to hot-blooded fervor by Xu Jie's few words, after bidding farewell to these Robber Forest heroes, the group then returned to Spirit City.

"Will we go again tomorrow?"

While cooking, Ye Zhangqing asked Xu Jie, who was cutting meat beside him.

"We definitely have to go; it's not easy to come to Huling, and today we didn't even manage to get a single Tiger Race."

Although Huling is said to be the Tiger Race's territory, not only Tiger Race live there; it can only be said that the Tiger Race is the hegemon of Huling, commanding other demon races.

To capture the Tiger Race, one must go to even deeper places.

Hearing the crowd's discussion, the four spirit frog essences not far away turned pale-faced at this moment.

They watched helplessly as these humans skinned and deboned the demon beasts, processing them.

Looking at those demon beasts, they felt as if they were seeing themselves, fearing that one day they too would meet such a fate.

At this moment, the female spirit frog essence weakly said to the male favorite beside her.

"Why don't we produce some more, make an effort.........."

They can still live because they can continuously produce spirit frog essence; but once they lose their usefulness, death is not far off.

Moreover, recently the disciples have been very dissatisfied with their breeding speed; the female spirit frog essence fears following in the footsteps of those demon beasts.

Hearing that, several male spirit frog essences nodded dumbly; being a bit tired is better than dying.

Immediately, several spirit frog essences began to move, and even the insect queen beside them, though its intelligence is low, also started producing wood insects recklessly.

"Yo heh, usually you can't budge them with a hit, what's going on today?"

Seeing this, Xu Jie laughed; hearing the words, a male spirit frog essence gave an embarrassed laugh.

"Um... today I'm in good mood, suddenly got the feeling."

"Is that so? But I hope you can keep this feeling going, best to have it every day rather than occasional bursts, understand?"

"Understood, definitely, definitely."

Tonight's dinner was very abundant, with bear paws, braised bear meat, and stir-fried black wolf meat.

Competition remains fierce; anyway, with the addition of those brutes from Dragon Elephant Peak, the disciples of Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak also have to bring out their true skills.

Techniques like Cotton Palm and Entangling Hand are useless.

The disciples of Withered Wood Hermitage can only watch from the sidelines; this is not a battle they can join.

"Senior Sister, I want to eat."

"If you want to eat, just go up."

"Then I'm going?"

"Go ahead."

Really can't hold back, a disciple wanted to go up and test his firepower.

But having just joined the battle, before even a breath passed, he was directly thrown out.

Only saw a Dragon Elephant Peak disciple pout and complain.

"Where did this little nun come from? Busy, get to the side."

Indeed he was just thrown out; seeing this, the other Withered Wood Hermitage disciples instantly dismissed the idea of fighting—this really is completely unwinnable.

Look, it's completely like a chick, utterly unable to fight back.

"Ah, just suck in the aroma."

Xiuling helplessly sighed and said.

"But we can't even inhale the aroma."

The aroma is almost impossible to inhale; the reason is none other than these Dragon Elephant Peak disciples.

Moreover, as the positions of disciples of each rank were determined, those Dragon Elephant Peak disciples who failed to secure a spot gathered outside the kitchen, frantically inhaling the aroma.

Their sturdy builds seemed to give them unmatched lung capacity.

With the violent rise and fall of their chests, not only the aroma, but even the damned air seemed to be sucked dry in an instant.

"I... I can't catch my breath."

"Inhale, ha, inhale, ha..........."

"Shī xiōng, don't inhale anymore, I can't breathe."

The surrounding air, with the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples' frantic inhaling, became extremely thin in an instant.

"Just this, you still want to inhale the aroma? Damn, that's pure fantasy."

The Withered Wood Hermitage disciples wanted to cry but had no tears; not being able to eat is fine, but now they can't even inhale the aroma.

"Senior Sister, I want to go home."

Moreover, the Jade Maiden Peak and Divine Sword Peak disciples are also extremely dissatisfied with this.

"You guys have had enough, damn it, even fighting over the aroma?"

"Then you guys inhale too."

"This is what you said."

In a moment, the disciples of Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak all employed Entangling Hand and Cotton Palm, techniques originally used to bind people, now instead winding around the aroma and drilling into everyone's noses.

Watching strand after strand of Línglì threads, entwined with aroma and air, continuously drilling into the nostrils of the two peaks' disciples, the Dragon Elephant Peak disciples were dumbfounded.

Holy shit, cotton palm and twining hand can still be played like this?

This thing can still lock in the scent?

You don't understand, this is a realm-level cotton palm.

Ordinary cotton palm naturally can't do this, but realm-level cotton palm is different.

What is the realm? Simply put, it means having one's own insight, with mastery not inferior to the creator of this technique.

At this point, the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples' mastery of twining hand and cotton palm is estimated to truly be no worse than that of the creators of these two techniques.

Perhaps even the predecessors who created these two techniques couldn't use cotton palm and twining hand to lock in air and scent, but the Divine Sword Peak and Jade Maiden Peak disciples did.

Dao Yi Sect disciples, to sniff a bit of fragrance, each displayed their divine abilities.

The nearby Withered Wood Hermitage disciples were dumbfounded: 'Are these the disciples of Dongzhou's number one sect? Their mastery of techniques has reached such a terrifying level?'

Right now, not only eating, but even sniffing a bit of flavor requires a skill at hand; otherwise, like the Withered Wood Hermitage disciples, you'd find even breathing difficult.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen, those who snatched a spot ate so comfortably.

"Delicious, today's food is even more delicious."

"Of course, these are all freshly caught ingredients."

"Oh, senior brothers, you went to Huling?"

"We encountered some forest bandits, calling themselves the Holy Thief 'Dry Rice Person', the Divine Thief 'Dry Rice Fairy', thinking to fish in troubled waters, so we caught some of them."

"Oh."

While talking, they brought up the forest bandits; the disciples chatted casually, but at this moment, a Divine Sword Peak inner door disciple named Wang Five had a strange expression.

"Dry Rice Person? Damn, isn't that me?"

Back then, he was influenced by Junior Sister Jin Min, went alone to Huling for training; amidst various coincidences, for some unknown reason, he suddenly got the idea to steal the Demon King's treasure vault.

In the end, he successfully stole the Black Tiger Demon King's treasury, and left behind the name 'Dry Rice Person'.

"Are they talking about me?"

Also among the Jade Maiden Peak disciples, there is an inner door disciple named Song Yi, who also harbors doubts in her heart.

"Aren't I the Dry Rice Fairy? Why would the forest bandits know?"
