Chapter 417: Eating Meat

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Long Liu glanced at the Fire Phoenix suspiciously.

He saw that the body of the Fire Phoenix, which was heavily tied up, was unharmed, but the flames on its head and tail were slightly dimmer than when he first caught it.

Long Jiu said that the meat of this bird was comparable to the delicacies of the mountains and seas. At first, Long Liu did not believe it until three bundles of the fire rope that was tied to the Fire Phoenix were burned off. In addition to all the miraculous operations just now... Long Liu began to believe that this bird had the bloodline of an ancient divine beast.

“Long Liu, take good care of this bird! Otherwise, if you have to endure it at night, don’t even dream of eating meat! Haha!”

The surrounding men still could not stop their jeering. After all, Long Liu was really quite unlucky. Not only did he catch this strange beast at the first moment, but he was also given the responsibility of looking after it by the leader. He was really miserable at the moment and did not get any benefits at all.

That was why everyone laughed at him so impudently, laughing at him for being too dutiful and honest.

“So noisy!”

All of a sudden, a strong wind blew in the forest. Everyone only felt that within the span of a breath, a wave of energy-containing pure Dou Qi spiraled up in the air and finally shot up to the sky, scattering along with the clouds.

“Oh no! It’s Long Jiu! Is he angry?”

Long Liu had originally intended to tease those men, so he stopped and went to sit down to rest. However, Long Jiu’s overbearing aura suddenly pounced on him, firmly suppressing Long Liu, who was the closest to him, and he was unable to move his body at all.

“Cough!”

Long Liu squeezed out a syllable from his throat, and his face was immediately kicked away by Long Jiu’s kick. Long Liu’s body was penetrated by a surge of Dou Qi, and his body flew five meters away uncontrollably.

There was a loud sound, and the tree trunk that was as thick as the waist of a two hundred kilogram fatty broke into two pieces where Long Liu fell.

“Si...what a terrifying strength...”

It was unknown who said this in the team, but soon after, Long Jiu slowly stood up under the admiring gazes of the crowd.

His black robe fluttered in the air even though there was no wind, and his seductive smoky makeup seemed to have the power to bewitch people’s hearts, like a scorpion that could see through one’s heart.

Long Jiu was in charge of leading more than ten people in this mercenary group. He had forgotten how many days he had spent searching for the flower of the cliff.

Just now, Long Jiu was sitting outside the tent on the only chair with a cushion. When he closed his eyes to rest, he inadvertently received the signal from the higher-ups.

Yes, Long Jiu possessed high-level Dou Qi, and his strength far exceeded that of everyone on the field. And because of his special ability, he did not have the ability to fight directly.

Regarding the skill of information transmission, it could be said that he had practiced it to the acme of perfection.

“Someone from the Carol Association?”

Audrey almost cried out in surprise, and she quickly reached out her hand to cover her mouth. She did not expect to meet someone from the Carol Association on the way to pick the flower of the cliff.

She saw that Long Jiu’s robe was lifted in the breeze, revealing the pattern of a masked snake and a rose on his collarbone. It was enchanting and bloody!

“Boss...boss! Do you want to eat meat?”

Long Liu recovered his strength quickly and quickly climbed to the front of his boss. He stretched out his dirty hands and wanted to hug Long Jiu’s feet.

“I don’t know if you want to eat meat or not, but I’m sure that your meat must be very stinky!”

Long Liu was so scared that he shivered when he heard the half-threatening words. He immediately withdrew his hands and did not dare to reach out his hands to blaspheme anymore.

“Recently, has the organization sent any messengers over to deliver a message?”

Long Jiu meditated for a few days. His mind was clear, and he did not have any desires. He did not eat or drink, but there was no sign of fatigue at all. He was in a state of high spirits.

“Reporting to the boss! There’s still no news from the organization!”

The men were also very respectful towards Long Jiu. At that moment, no one dared to make a sound to tease him. They all knelt on the ground and did not even raise their heads, as if he was a God at the moment.

“Oh.”

Audrey stuck her head out, wanting to see the appearance of Long Jiu, but her position was really not in the right place. She could not find him properly, so she could only see the back of his head.

“Since the organization hasn’t assigned any tasks, then I will now represent the organization to arrange some matters for you...”

In fact, Long Jiu did not need to receive the mission information from the Carol Association on paper. His intuition was amazing, and he could use his Dou Qi to spread to collect the information in the air.

In addition, Long Jiu’s own soul had a connection with the energy source of the Carol Association, so he was always the first to know about the situation of the organization.

Just now, when he recovered from his meditative state, he caught the recent news of the Carol Association organization and received good news.

However, Long Jiu did not sense the specific good news. Firstly, he needed to use his mental strength and time, and secondly, the interns of the Carol Association were too stupid and noisy, which interrupted his peaceful spiritual sense.

“Long Liu, you did a good thing today. You’re in charge of finding a way to kill this broken bird, so let’s eat barbecue together!”

“Then you, yes, it’s you. Clean up the traces of our battle in front of us, as if we’ve never been here before!”

“And in the last two days, I’ve felt the abnormal fluctuation of the cliff flower, and I still have the strength to go out and investigate more! I want to go back as soon as possible!”

As the orders were issued, the group began to stop fooling around as they had two days ago. They began to gather their minds and take action.

“In addition, before that, I think it’s necessary to call our new friends out for a warm welcome ceremony!”

Audrey had not thought of how to rescue the Fire Phoenix, but she did not expect a small rock beside her to explode under her feet.

Audrey jumped in fright. She could not hold her breath and was exposed to the air.

“It’s...a woman... ?”

The men were like bloodthirsty zombies. When they saw Audrey’s young and beautiful face, they looked like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, emitting a faint, vicious light.

“Oh!”

This person was indeed powerful!

Audrey clenched her fists. Under her calm eyes were surging emotions.

This was great. It would be difficult for her to escape after exposing her figure. How was she going to save the Fire Phoenix? This was a headache.

“Hmm, she’s young. Although she’s a girl, her strength is not bad. At least she’s more powerful than the people under me.”

Long Jiu narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Audrey. He did not know what kind of fighting technique she used to transform her Qi into a physical form. At that moment, Audrey’s body floated in the air.

“Damn it! What do you want? Let go of me!”

It was as if there was an invisible hand grabbing Audrey’s neck in the air, making her unable to breathe.

Audrey hammered and kicked, but it was as if she had smashed into a ball of cotton-like battle spirit. She kicked a few more times, and her neck was strangled even tighter. Audrey wanted to use all her strength to push away his control.

At that moment, the aura in her chest began to circulate crazily.

Long Jiu looked at Audrey’s pained look and smiled bloodily, revealing the Carol Association pattern on his neck.. It was dark and charming.
