Soon, a pile of firewood had been set up on the ground, and two Thunder-Patterned Tiger legs were roasting over it, already turning golden brown.
Shi Teng sprinkled some cumin, and the aroma of the meat wafted through the air.
Shi Hao couldn't stop licking his lips, drool running down his chin.
Shi Teng cut off the best piece of the leg meat and handed it to Shi Hao, "Eat up, you little glutton!"
"Hehe!"
Shi Hao took the roasted meat from Shi Teng, not even bothering to wait for it to cool, blowing on it as he devoured it.
Shi Teng was also cutting off a piece, ready to eat, when a roar came from a distance!
"Roar!"
It was the voice of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird.
Shi Teng's expression shifted slightly. "Not good, the Golden-Winged Peng Bird is in danger!"
He leaped up and, with a few bounds, rushed into the forest.
Shi Hao, with a roasted tiger leg in his right hand, quickly followed.
Not far away, the Golden-Winged Peng Bird was trapped by a rope emitting golden light. Several slender female cultivators in purple robes were standing nearby.
At this moment, Shi Teng had no interest in admiring their long legs.
He leaped into the air, shouting, "Let it go!"
One of the female cultivators came forward to meet him. Their fists collided, and the female cultivator was immediately sent flying.
Shi Teng slammed heavily onto the ground.
The leading woman's eyes flashed with a fierce light. A slender sword appeared in her hand, and she slashed towards Shi Teng.
The speed was extremely fast, and the sword's shadow arrived instantly.
Before Shi Teng could react, a tiger leg immediately smashed towards the woman.
The girl's delicate figure trembled slightly, and she slashed out several times with her slender sword.
The tiger leg was immediately chopped into dozens of pieces, scattered on the ground, and the entire air was filled with the smell of roasted meat.
Everyone's faces were somewhat puzzled.
Although the Golden-Winged Peng Bird was bound on the ground, it was excitedly pecking at the roasted meat on the ground.
The two landed on the ground. Shi Teng wanted to untie the golden rope binding the Golden-Winged Peng Bird, but the rope looked soft yet was incredibly tough, impossible to break.
The girl said in a low voice, "Don't waste your effort, you can't untie it!"
Shi Teng ignored the girl's words completely and took out a sharp blade, gently cutting at the rope.
He cut for a long time, but there was still no reaction.
It seemed this thing was indeed a treasure.
Shi Teng stood up and said, "Release my mount, or don't blame me for not knowing how to cherish the fair sex!"
The other woman beside her spoke up, "Hmph, like master, like mount. Your bird, no, your mount just tried to seduce our Butian Pavilion's spirit beast, the White Phoenix!"
Only then did Shi Teng see that behind the four people stood a spirit bird with white feathers. Although it wasn't as large as the Golden-Winged Peng Bird, it looked very spirited.
Shi Teng's lips curled into a slight smile. "Heh, you lot can go find men, but your sect's spirit beasts can't find a man?
Isn't that a case of the officials being allowed to set fires while the commoners aren't allowed to light lamps!"
Hearing Shi Teng's flippant words, the woman's face flashed with a fierce glare again.
With a wave of her right hand, a ball of white light immediately smashed towards Shi Teng.
Shi Teng didn't take it seriously at all. His right hand grabbed the incoming white light, and with a slight squeeze of his fingers, the white light was instantly crushed by Shi Teng.
The woman was instantly furious and was about to pounce on Shi Teng.
The leading woman blocked her path and said in a friendly tone, "I didn't expect a young man like you to have such cultivation. We are disciples of Butian Pavilion, and my name is Xia Youyu.
What the young man just said makes sense. Let the spirit beasts handle their own affairs. We were the ones who were abrupt just now!"
After chanting an incantation, the Golden-Winged Peng Bird's golden rope flew into Xia Youyu's hand.
"This is our Butian Pavilion's treasure, the Binding Spirit Rope. Once ensnared, even Heavenly Cave Realm cultivators can't break free!"
Shi Teng nodded. "Hmm, at least you're sensible. Unlike some others… no chest, yet still so fierce!"
"You…"
Bai Yun, standing nearby, flushed with anger at Shi Teng's words, but didn't know what to say in response.
"Butian Pavilion, if I have time, I might even go there to sign in. Where is your Butian Pavilion located?"
Bai Yun said angrily, "Hmph, someone like you, even if you went, our Butian Pavilion wouldn't want you!"
Xia Youyu raised her hand, signaling Bai Yun to stop speaking.
Then, she took a token from her waist and handed it to Shi Teng. "I see that your talent is quite good, young friend. If you haven't joined another sect, you could join our Butian Pavilion. This token contains information and the address of our sect. Please accept it!"
Shi Teng nodded. "Alright! But stop with the 'young friend' stuff, it sounds weird. I'm Shi Teng, the Teng from Shi Teng!"
"Farewell!"
Shi Teng and Shi Hao leaped onto the back of the Golden-Winged Peng Bird.
Shi Teng grinned. "You've got skills, kid. You just got out, and you've already snagged a spirit beast from the Butian Pavilion. Didn't get the short end of the stick, did you?"
The Golden-Winged Peng Bird made a buzzing sound, seemingly very excited.
Just as they were about to leave, Xia Youyu spoke up, "Brother Shi, we've discovered a treasure ground. Would you be interested in exploring it with us?"
"Treasure ground? Seems more like a graveyard to me. You wouldn't happen to be harboring grudges and trying to lure me into a secluded spot to kill me, would you?"
Xia Youyu was so angry she didn't know what to say.
After a pause, she continued, "We of the Butian Pavilion are a righteous sect, we would never do such underhanded things. To be honest with you, young friend, we've discovered a Qilin Cave, and a Mixed-Blood Qilin has taken up residence inside.
We just went there, but we're no match for it, so we retreated.
If we add Brother Shi, and with the treasure we have, even if we can't kill it, we can still trap it.
It's said that Blood Bodhi grows inside, and consuming one can greatly increase one's cultivation!"
Shi Teng nodded. Xia Youyu sounded very sincere, and from Shi Teng's experience of flirting with girls over the past ten years, she definitely wasn't lying.
Blood Bodhi, sounds pretty good, I like it! "Lead the way!"
Bai Yun was a little displeased. "Senior Sister, why are you taking this kid? Isn't that just adding to the chaos!"
Xia Youyu's tone was icy. "Shut up. If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Besides, we're no match for that mixed-blood Qilin!"
With that, they leaped onto the White Phoenix's back and headed deeper into the Great Wilderness.
At this moment, the Golden-Winged Peng Bird caught up. Although the two birds could fly faster, they were now flying side-by-side.
Occasionally, their heads would gently nuzzle each other.
"Damn! I'm getting fed a mouthful of dog food!"
Xia Youyu and the others couldn't help but lower their heads slightly. They were actually being shown up by their two mounts. Pathetic.
The four of them flew for nearly an hour before landing on the ground.
Standing on the mountaintop, they could feel the intense power of fire.
Xia Youyu said, "This is a volcano, and that opening ahead is where the Fire Qilin lives!
We fought it earlier and injured it. If we can work together to kill it, we're sure to have a big harvest!"
