Someone in the hall boldly asked, “Master, when can we start trading? We can’t wait any longer.”
“Exactly, exactly.”
Several hours had passed since they entered the mountain. It was almost noon. Everyone was not only hungry, but also anxious.
Master Kong Chen smiled. “There’s no hurry. It’s almost lunchtime. I’ve prepared a meal for everyone. We’ll talk in detail after you’ve filled your stomachs.” He waved his hand and the disciples behind him began to move the things.
Tables were placed inside one by one, and the food that flowed was also brought to the tables. Every table had wine and meat. It looked very good.
“Everyone, please!” Kong Chen gestured to them that they could take their seats.
Everyone, who was already hungry and tired, sat down. Someone carefully took out a silver needle and tried it on the food.
Yu Su and the others also took their seats. Leng Yan looked at Yu Su and gestured with her eyes. Should they eat or not?
Lu Feng smelled a strange fragrance from the food. This fragrance was like some medicinal herb with an alluring smell. He frowned slightly. He felt that this smell was a little familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere before.
Wen Chuan looked at Yu Su and wrote a word on the table with his fingers wet: Beast.
Yu Su nodded. She had also realized that there was nothing wrong with the food itself. The problem was the firewood used to cook. This firewood was mixed with Treasure Spirit Wood.
This piece of wood was extremely precious. Normally, it could be used to refine medicine and increase one’s level. On the other hand, Darkbeasts loved the taste of Treasure Spirit Wood the most. It was equivalent to a natural food lure. A little bit of it could make Darkbeasts go crazy. If a person ate this food, they would probably become a meal for wild beasts.
“Why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking?” Kong Chen walked over with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. Behind him was a group of Daoist masters.
Mo Ting looked at Yu Su and the others angrily. “Don’t be ungrateful. These dishes are all made with the best ingredients in the mountains. If it weren’t to welcome guests, ordinary people wouldn’t have such good fortune.”
Fu Yang pursed his lips. “We can eat if we want. What can you do?” He kept feeling that there was a trap. This group of people did not look like good people.
Mo Ting looked at him coldly. “Since you don’t like the food we provide, your team doesn’t have to eat. You don’t have to participate in the auction either.” If you don’t eat the food, you’ll be disqualified from participating.
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Qin became nervous. She immediately picked up her chopsticks and picked up some food in her mouth. She took a bite and swallowed it before saying, “Manager Mo, the two of us are sincere. You can’t disqualify the two of us.” Otherwise, their trip would have been in vain.
Chen Xi frowned and looked at Fu Yang. “Young Master Fu, just eat. You’ve worked hard to come here. Don’t tell me you’re going to return empty-handed?” He also began to eat.
Fu Yang gritted his teeth in anger. If he didn’t eat, he seemed to have become the villain of the entire team. “Alright, alright, I’ll eat, alright?” He picked up his chopsticks and started to eat.
Kong Chen looked at Yu Su and the others again and said with a smile, “The few of you have outstanding temperaments. It’s fate that we met. Let me toast you.” His eyes were filled with an unfathomable light.
Wen Chuan smiled and picked up his wine glass. “Master Kong Chen, please!” He had already crossed the realm of perfection and was only one step away from ascending. Therefore, all the poisons and herbs in the world were no longer effective on him.
Yu Su also picked up her cup. Seeing this, Xiao Han also picked up his cup. After suddenly drinking it, he snatched the cup from Yu Su’s hand. “I’ll toast to the master too.”
Yu Su picked up her chopsticks and began to pick up food. Seeing that everyone had already eaten, Kong Chen walked elsewhere in satisfaction.
When they were far away, Fu Yang threw down his chopsticks and pouted. “I really don’t know what these people are up to. It’s just an auction. Why are they up to so many tricks?”
Yu Su looked at Xiao Han and took out a bottle of medicine from her sleeve. She distributed it to them and said softly, “Just swallow it.”
This was the pill she had refined in advance. It could effectively prevent one’s aura from being exposed and also cover up the smell on their bodies. Just as the few of them swallowed the pill, the situation in the hall changed.
A group of unicorns barged into the hall and crashed into the crowd. Those who could not dodge in time were hit and their blood flowed all over the ground. The unicorns’ eyes were red, and sharp nails were exposed on their claws. The scales on their bodies were very messy.
“Ahhh…”
“Don’t come over, Master Kong Chen. What exactly are these things?”
“Oh my god, that’s terrifying.”
“Don’t chase me. I have nothing for you to eat.”
“Hurry up and save us. These unicorns are crazy. Hurry up and save us.”
For a moment, the entire hall was in chaos, and the people from Mount Zhongnan had already disappeared from the hall, leaving only the crazy unicorn and the merchants who came.
