Chapter 842

Just a piece of wild beast meat to go with the drink, and no other reward is needed?

Xiao Feng was a little surprised.

Processing the entire corpse of a Xibi is already an enormous undertaking; he was prepared to offer almost a chief divine artifact–level reward as thanks.

I didn't expect Erdés to be so straightforward—he doesn't want any reward, just a big piece of roasted god-king meat!

"If... we take it out here, won't we scare the other people in the tavern?" Xiao Feng still had some concerns, he said.

A'gula immediately said: "Don't worry, everyone here is a guest of the First Divine Artisan. We'll give Babawu face; no one will have any ill intentions toward you. Hmm... of course, if you have such good stuff, you can't be too stingy—at least share some meat for free with everyone, right?"

Xiao Feng thought.

These drunks are all pretty generous; being able to earn Babawu's approval to stay here long-term, they probably aren't any villains.

Otherwise, a bunch of villains gathering together would be a den of thieves; they wouldn't stay peacefully in the depths of the Elemental Sea. With their strength, they'd have long gone and looted all the major divine kingdoms!

According to A'gula, we just need to give them some meat to eat; the cost isn't really anything.

So he nodded and said: "Alright, a bit of beast meat is nothing; this god-king corpse of mine is huge!"

Erdés was extremely curious, immediately calling out: "Come on, let's go outside! I want to see what a god-king–level wild beast actually looks like!"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Feng nodded.

The three walked out of the house together.

This rest area is a row of small cabins built on the far side of the lake, separated from the tavern by the lake; faint noises from over there can be heard.

Xiao Feng saw Da Bai flopping on the opposite shore, a crowd of drunks circling it, and from time to time he could hear Da Bai's cursing.

"Don't touch, don't touch, are you done or not, you damn bastards! I'm a spirit beast, not a chicken!"

"Holy shit, I told you not to touch me, yet you're still grabbing my leg—do you believe I'll slap you to death with one wing?!"

"Ahhh, save me! Xiao Feng, why the hell haven't you come to save me yet!!"

Da Bai, blocked by the drunks, was like a helpless little girl, suffering bullying.

Although it has strength level 252, facing these bigshots whose weakest are level 480 Sovereigns, it truly has no ability to resist.

Moreover, this place is small; even if it wanted to fly, it couldn't go far.

Xiao Feng came out of the house, Da Bai saw it and immediately shouted: "Hu

damn, you finally woke up! Save me~

Then it flapped its wings and flew straight over from the opposite shore.

From there came a hearty friendly laugh.

Xiao Feng jumped onto Da Bai's back, rubbed its neck, and laughed: "Sorry, I drank too much; if you're unhappy, I'll put you into my mount space."

"No! I want to see you put on a show and slap these drunks' faces until they go pop-pop!" Da Bai firmly refused.

Xiao Feng laughed: "I can put on a show, but I can't slap faces—they haven't offended me. Come on, let's go over."

Da Bai took off low, skimmed the lake surface, then flew back near the tavern.

This time no one came to tease it; instead they said to Xiao Feng: "Xiao Feng Warrior, your drinking capacity is not bad—you woke up so quickly?"

"Want to drink some more? Haha~"

"You're a hero—you downed six or seven catties of molten gold mountain's strong liquor in one go; among us all, you could rank in the top twenty!"

Everyone laughed; although there was no malice, Xiao Feng, who had been tricked into drinking five big cups of strong liquor, still felt a bit resentful.

He somewhat understood Da Bai's grievance, rubbed its neck, and said: "Let's just scare them, let these bad guys know how awesome we are!"

"Good! Bring it out, scare them to death!" Da Bai shouted fiercely.

Erdés and A'gula also flew over, saying to everyone: "Today Xiao Feng Warrior has a gift to give you all; please step back and make space."

"Oh? What gift? Is it food or drink?" The crowd looked curiously at Xiao Feng.

At the same time, they stepped back left and right, clearing an open space of about thirty meters.

Da Bai raised its neck, disdainfully saying: "With this little space, even a leg won't fit; we should change to a more spacious place."

"A leg won't fit? What a joke!" Nobody believed it, thinking this foul-mouthed big bird was just bragging.

Only Erdés and A'gula knew a bit more, showing surprised expressions.

"Could it be..."

The two looked at Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng jumped down from Da Bai's back, walked toward the nearby vast green meadow, and said: "We came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything good; this Xibi divine beast is a god-king, its corpse is huge. Today... let's give everyone a leg."

Saying that, he opened the storage function of the Grand Void Ring and took out the Xibi corpse inside.

"A Xibi divine beast?"

"A god-king?"

"One leg to divide among so many of us?"

"

The strong ones froze.

The next second, everyone's vision blurred!

Boom!

A colossal beastly form appeared on the meadow, suddenly sinking and emitting a tremendous rumble.

Its massive body and heavy weight directly sank the meadow!

"Holy crap, what is this thing!"

"So huge, this is way too big!"

"My goodness, this... this is... a god-king???"

Everyone widened their eyes, staring blankly at the Xibi's corpse, shocked enough to open their mouths.

Even Erdes and Aqila, who were already mentally prepared, were stunned by this 400-meter-long, over-200-meter-tall mythical beast's body.

They had seen huge-bodied powerhouses before, yet the Dragon Clan's chief god's body is famously enormous.

But even the largest Dragon Sovereign Chief God has a wingspan of just over 200 meters!

A flying dragon with a wingspan of over 200 meters and a tiger-shaped feral beast over 200 meters tall and over 400 meters long are completely different concepts!

It's like comparing a palm-sized bat to a cat!

The weight difference is at least several dozen times!

"My heavens, this... this leg, how long will it take us to eat it?" someone muttered.

Da Bai raised his head and puffed out his chest, proudly saying: "See? This is our strength! We've slain a god-king before, so you all better watch out—if you dare touch my leg again carelessly, my brothers will hit you with a Secret Art and send you straight to reincarnation!"

Everyone remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Feng said to Erdes: "Senior, please help extract the essence first, then we'll divide the beast meat and distribute it to everyone."

The feral beast's meat is a top-tier ingredient in the NPC world, and players who know how to prepare it can also make many delicacies.

Although slaughtering a wise god-king for meat seems somewhat cruel.

But that's how the law of nature works—survival of the fittest is perfectly normal.

The feral beasts also eat humans, demons, and the plant life of the Sacred Wood Tribe; all of this is part of a cycle, with no right or wrong.

Erdes said upon hearing that: "Alright, I'll first extract the essence. However, this feral beast is simply too huge; it will probably take some time, so please wait patiently."

The fire chanter Fakato laughed and said: "I'll go borrow some metal from Babawumi to make a super-sized grill; we can have a grand bonfire feast!"
