Chapter 55: Reversal of the Wheel of Fate (1/2)
“Seventy meters!”
Nie Tian’s eyes shone with a bright light as he sat there upright, trembling slightly with elation.
Not long ago, when they were searching for the Frost Python in the glacier area, the range of his psychic awareness was merely fifty meters.
That was the best he could achieve after several significant upgrades, as well as after exhausting his psychic power several times in a row.
Clearly, he didn’t expect that after eating the Lurker Lizard meat and strengthening himself he would have such a significant improvement in psychic power.
“Good stuff! It’s absolutely good stuff!”
As soon as he remembered that An Ying and others had diarrhea after having the Lurker Lizard meat, he couldn’t help but start cheering in his heart.
The second grade spirit beast meat could not only speed up his cultivation, but it could also strengthen his fleshy body.
The strength of his fleshy body, on the other hand, could benefit his psychic power, enabling him to holistically increase his strength!
As of that moment, he suddenly felt much more excited about the Green Illusion dimension trial, as if the Ghost sect and the Blood sect weren’t the terrifying entities he’d thought them to be.
As for the discussion between Jiang Lingzhu and An Ying, he had completely lost interest. All he wanted to do was consume all the Lurker Lizard meat as fast as possible.
“But the weather in the desert…”
Looking over towards the distant corpse of the Lurker Lizard, his brows furrowed as a question occurred to him.
The desert was different from the glacier area, where he was able to carry raw spirit beast meat on his back without any trouble.
Because of the cold weather there, spirit beast meat could remain fresh for a long time before it spoiled.
In the desert, however, it was burning hot. Without special processing, meat would rot fairly rapidly in a short time, making it inedible.
“From the look of it, I need to air-dry the meat. Only in this way will I be able to carry it with me and consume it over a longer period of time.”
With these thoughts, he stood up and took a step towards the Lurker Lizard corpse.
Seeing him rise to his feet, Jiang Miao didn’t think twice before hurrying to catch up. Curious, she asked, “Nie Tian, what do you want to do?”
“I’m going to make some Lurker Lizard jerky!” he answered.
“Let me help you!” said Jiang Miao.
Nie Tian was surprised. “Do you know how?”
“Nope.” Jiang Miao replied honestly. “But you can teach me.”
“I don’t know how either,” Nie Tian said, smiling wryly.
“Ahhh?!” Jiang Miao turned to look at Guo Qi who was sitting not far from them. “Eldest Brother Guo, do you know how to make jerky with spirit beast meat?”
“Sure,” Guo Qi replied.
“We may not run into more spirit beasts in the desert, and we’ll still need to eat,” Jiang Miao said. “Since elder sister An Ying and those guys are in discussion, and we don’t have much else to do, why don’t we make jerky out of the spirit beast meat?” Said Jiang Miao.
“Okay, I’m in,” Guo Qi said, nodding.
When they were in the glacier region, and the Ghost sect disciple had suddenly showed up wearing the Grayvale sect’s clothes, Guo Qi had nearly been ambushed and killed. Thanks to Nie Tian’s acute perception, and the immediate attack he launched upon the Ghost sect disciple, Guo Qi had narrowly escaped.
No matter how he used to think of Nie Tian, now that Nie Tian had saved his life, he nodded in consent, even though he wasn’t completely willing.
Ye Gumo from the Cloudsoaring sect smiled and said, “I’ll help you guys, too.”
He didn’t participate in the discussion among Jiang Lingzhu, An Ying, and the others. As soon as he had finished recovering with his spirit stones, he sat down at a place not far away from Nie Tian, secretly observing him.
He caught every word of the conversation between Nie Tian and Jiang Miao, and realized that making spirit beast jerky would provide sufficient food for everyone to eat for a long time.
Since they were grouped together now, and wouldn’t split up in their future endeavors, they needed to work together. Therefore, he stepped up.
“Thanks,” Nie Tian said, smiling.
Ye Gumo laughed out loud and said, “You’re welcome, we’re doing it for everybody.”
While talking, Nie Tian and Jiang Miao started cutting meat off the spirit beasts with Ye Gumo and Guo Qi’s assistance.
After discussing for a while, it seemed that An Ying and the others had finally reached an agreement.
When they saw that Nie Tian and his companies were making jerky, they also realized that it could solve their future food problem, so they all pitched in.
However, before getting started, Pan Tao released another signal into the air.
A pitch-black line of smoke shot up into the heavens, distinctly visible in the desert sky.
“Now that we’ve restored our full strength, even if the evil witch returns, we won’t fear her any more.” Pan Tao arrived by Nie Tian’s side and said, “Although the Grayvale sect’s Yuan Feng is a troublemaker, he isn’t stupid. Since he has been attacked by the Ghost sect in the glacier area, he won’t dare to stay there any more.
“As long as Yuan Feng is alive, he’ll definitely come to the desert like we did.
“Perhaps Yuan Feng has already led the Grayvale sect’s survivors into the desert. It’s hard to say.
“This signal is intended for Yuan Feng and his group,”Pan Tao explained to Nie Tian while cutting meat off the Lurker Lizard. “I hope they can find us the way we found the Cloudsoaring sect’s people.”
“We’re not going to return to the glacier area?” Nie Tian asked.
Pan Tao was very frank. “No, we’re not.The people from the Blood sect are currently here in the desert. If we were to head over to the glacier region, the Blood sect and the Ghost sect would very quickly join forces. Therefore, we made the decision to wait for a short while to give the Grayvale sect a chance to find us.
“The signal has been released. If they don’t show up any time soon, it probably means that they are dead.
“In that case, if we make a rushed decision and go back to the glacier area, we would possibly have to face the Ghost sect and the Blood sect with just our two sects’ forces.
“That wouldn’t be the wisest move.”
Nie Tian was surprised by his words. “Do you plan to set up camp in the desert?”
“No.” Pan Tao shook his head. “Whether Yuan Feng and him group can find us or not, we’ll leave the desert, and go look for Zheng Bin of the Mystic Mist sect in the volcano area. Upon entering the Green Illusion dimension, Jiang Lingzhu and Zheng Bin already had an agreement that Jiang Lingzhu would lead her group to the desert, while Zheng Bin would led his group to the volcano area.
