Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 150: The Beast of the Hollow in the Shadow! (Additional chapter for 2400 monthly tickets in April)

Noticing the presence of a third person under the shade of the trees, Xiao Qing silently moved closer to Yue Li.

It didn't pay much attention to this guy of unknown origin, because in its perception, the other party's strength was very weak.

But it still immediately told Yue Li the situation in secret.

Yue Li's eyes flickered slightly, and she did not turn back to look at the other person's location, as if she knew nothing. She still hugged her knees with her hands, looking at the man and the beast practicing sword by the stream with a smile on her face.

Soon, Shuihua and Xiaohong returned with various fruits and two weak spirit beasts they had hunted. Xiaohong sprayed flames and began to cook skillfully.

Ever since Qin Chuan discovered that this guy had a talent in this area, he gave the arduous task of cooking to Xiaohong. Xiaohong lived up to everyone's expectations and is now becoming more and more experienced, and her cooking skills are no less than Qin Chuan's.

Soon, the two men and four animals sat together in the shade of the trees, with a clean tablecloth in the middle. Inside were piles of various edible fruits that had just been picked and still had water droplets on the surface, as well as roasted animal meat that was roasted to a golden color, sizzling with oil, and exuding a rich and mouth-watering aroma.

There was also a pot of soup, which was made by stewing a few fish that Shuihua had caught. The soup was milky white, fresh and not fishy. It did not need too much seasoning, but it made Yue Li, who had tasted it, marvel again and again.

"It's starting!"

Qin Chuan swallowed his saliva and tore off a beast leg with his bare hands. Under the golden skin, there was a large piece of white and tender meat attached to the bone with juicy juice visible in the sun, making people want to take a bite immediately to taste its delicious flavor.

Handing the beast leg to Yue Li, Qin Chuan blew on his palm, then tore off another beast leg and took a bite.

The meat has a tender texture under the crispy skin, and the fat under the skin is integrated into the meat after being fully roasted. Several spices from this world remove the last bit of greasiness and make the meat aroma multiply.

The rich fragrance that quickly filled his mouth and nose made Qin Chuan's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but give Xiaohong a thumbs up.

Sure enough, this kind of thing should be done by fire-type spirit beasts.

"Squeak~"

Xiaohong shook her tail proudly. She didn't eat meat, but held the nuts picked specially for her. Her sharp teeth skillfully split the surface, revealing the kernels wrapped in layers.

Shuihua and Xiaoqing were equally rude.

When Water Splash opens its big mouth, some of the food on the tablecloth will be chewed away and soon disappear, no matter whether it is fruit or animal meat.

Xiaoqing's claws were as sharp as knives. He quickly tore the meat into large chunks. He gave half to Shuihua and slowly tore the other half into shreds and swallowed it.

Generally speaking, Shuihua eats faster than Xiaoqing, and then looks at the meat that Xiaoqing has not finished eating with a greedy look.

At this time, Xiaoqing would glare at Shuihua fiercely, as if saying "I will beat you to death if you dare to move."

Among the four spirit beasts, the one with the most elegant and peculiar eating manner is probably Ice Cream.

It only needs to land lightly above the food, cover the food with the hem of its body, and the food will disappear in the next moment.

As the two men and four beasts quickly devoured the food, the amount of food on the tablecloth was visibly reduced.

At this moment, a very light sound of swallowing saliva was heard nearby.

The four elite Lv30 spirit beasts caught the sound instantly. Except Xiaoqing who had expected it, the other three spirit beasts immediately looked towards a place under the shade of the trees with puzzled expressions.

"what happened?"

Qin Chuan poked his head out from the beast steak that was half the size of his face. He had a blank expression and some oil stains on his cheeks.

"Wipe it off quickly."

Looking at Qin Chuan's somewhat funny eating habits, Yue Li couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. She put down the food in her hand, took out a handkerchief and handed it over.

After Qin Chuan wiped his face clean, she spoke slowly, "While you were teaching the ice cream knife skills, an uninvited guest came."

"uninvited guest?"

Qin Chuan followed the gaze of the four beasts, but only saw tender green grass leaves.

Invisibility? Or underground?
Or something else?

While many speculations emerged in his mind, Qin Chuan spoke loudly, "Don't hide, we have found you." One second, two seconds, three seconds later.

In the sight of the two people and four beasts, a ball of dark fire suddenly appeared on the grass leaves covered by the shadow of the forest.

The fire was not hot, and although it had the form of fire it did not have the attributes of fire.

Absorbing the power from the surrounding woods, the ball of black fire grew larger and larger, from its original fist size to the size of a basketball. Then, with a muffled "bang", the flames exploded and transformed into a somewhat strange-looking spirit beast.

It looked like a black cat without a single color on its body, but its head was covered by a dark white bone helmet, with only one furry ear exposed.

In the place of the other ear, there was a forest white horn, and a ball of black flame was burning on the top of the horn, which was exactly the same as the flame when it appeared just now.

There are clear cracks on the mouth and nose of the bone helmet, but it is impossible to see the inside clearly.

What concerns people most are the dark and empty eye holes on the bone helmet.

The moment it appeared, the spirit beast subconsciously trembled in front of the four elite spirit beasts. Although its eyes were empty, its subconscious backward movement and clamped tail clearly expressed its fear.

It did not choose to escape. Instead, it stared at the food on the tablecloth, twisting its body from side to side, revealing its inner hesitation.

The spirit beast scanning results appeared in front of Qin Chuan and Yue Li at the same time.

[Spiritual Beast Race: Shadow Flame Cat]

[Spiritual Beast Attribute: Dark]

[Spiritual Beast Level: Juvenile Level 10]

[Spiritual Beast Status: Uncontracted]

[Spirit Beast Introduction: The dark spirit beast Shadow Flame Cat is friendly but timid. It likes to hide in the shadows and observe its surroundings quietly.]

Hide in the shadows and observe your surroundings?
This is very consistent with the situation of the Shadow Flame Cat in front of him just now.

But when it comes to the issue of timid character, there is a question mark.

A juvenile-level spirit beast can face four elite-level spirit beasts without running away. This courage is almost as good as ice cream.

Or...is it really hungry?
"Come here, I'll give you some food."

Qin Chuan picked up a fruit and motioned Shadow Flame Cat to come over.

The four beasts looked at each other and restrained their breath.

As if it had sensed the goodwill of Qin Chuan and his party, the Shadow Flame Cat's trembling gradually subsided. It took a few cautious steps forward, and seeing that the four spirit beasts, which were extremely terrifying in its eyes, did not stop it, it immediately became bolder and quickly approached Qin Chuan.

But it did not take the fruit from Qin Chuan's hand. Its empty eyes looked at the barbecue in front of Qin Chuan in silence.

"So you want to eat meat." Qin Chuan suddenly realized.

Right.

The Shadow Flame Cat is, after all, a Lv10 larval spirit beast, so finding food to fill its stomach is not a problem. The only thing that interests it is barbecue, which it has never eaten before.

It seems that he is not just starving, but a real foodie.

Tearing off a piece of meat and handing it to the Shadow Flame Cat, Qin Chuan watched it instantly turn into a pitch-black flame that enveloped the meat. After a moment, it restored its form and the meat disappeared. A smile flashed in his eyes.

Come to think of it, I seem to have a special affinity with black cats.

The shadow leopard that first entered the dream world is a leopard, which is reasonable because it is also considered a cat.

The mutated black cat he saw in real life later became his opponent in the final moments of the assessment.

Now, it's a black cat again.
