‘Snake meat? Why don’t you say it’s the meat of an ancient divine dragon?’
Count Dracula and the Great Wizard both did not know whether to cry or laugh. They wondered since when did the Hua people become so good at lying. Many people said that they were honest, but now it seemed that was all nonsense.
Who was Yamata no Orochi? He was an SS-class spirit beast, the mythical monster of Sakura Island who possessed powerful abilities that could destroy heaven and earth. It would have been difficult for either of them to kill him, let alone take a piece of his flesh.
Such mythical monsters valued their bodies to the extreme, so how could he easily give away a piece of his flesh?
However, as the aroma that filled the air continued to burrow into their nostrils, Dracula and the Great Wizard began to feel a little hungry. Good food still tempted them.
The Great Wizard, in particular, was very captivated. Although he was very old, his only hobby was eating, and he had tasted everything he could eat on the planet. As an elderly wizard, only through eating could he feel pleasure and that his life was still going on.
In the distance, the chefs who had been abducted by the vampires were still cooking. They needed to do their best to make the most delicious dishes so that they would be chosen and their lives could be saved.
But the fragrance in the air made their hands shake a little, and they could hardly hold their kitchen knives firmly. They kept sniffing at the smell, immersing in the shock it had brought them. They wondered what kind of dish was that and why anyone in the world could cook a dish that smelled so good.
“My friend from Hua… I am Count Dracula. May I taste this delicacy of yours?”
Both the vampires and the wizard had expressed their desire to taste the snake soup. The main reason was that it was just too fragrant.
Bu Fang slurped and swallowed another mouthful of snake soup. The steaming broth flowed into his belly, making him feel a warm stream swimming through his body. He glanced at them, slightly twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, “This is a soup made from the meat of Yamata no Orochi. Do you really dare to eat it?”
Dracula and the Great Wizard rolled their eyes at the same time.
“You sounded as if it was true…”
How could a creature like Yamata no Orochi possibly die? As long as the spiritual energy sealing point was not fully opened and the evolution of the living beings had not reached its peak, the SS-class spirit beast was still considered an existence standing at the peak of the Earth. So, how could he be killed so easily?
They thought Bu Fang was lying to them.
Suddenly, Dracula and the Great Wizard froze. They saw that the array in front of Bu Fang began to rotate, and the bowl of snake soup he placed on it gradually disappeared as if it was taken away for tasting.
After a short time, the array gave its response. With a rumble, it rotated faster and faster, constantly discharging energy. At the same time, a thin film that enveloped it began to slowly melt.
At this moment, the bodies and minds of Dracula and the Great Wizard became tense, their eyes fixed on the thin film that was gradually melting. They knew that behind the array were the treasures in this spiritual energy sealing point.
How could there be no treasures in a sealing point where a quarter of Earth’s spiritual energy gathered? This was the common understanding of all the cultivators on Earth. They did not believe that so much energy would not produce any treasures after countless years of brewing!
While the two top superhumans could not take their eyes off the array, Bu Fang seemed very calm. He was still enjoying his snake soup. He had to admit that a slightly sticky delicacy like snake soup was very much to his liking.
As the rumbling sound continued to echo out, the sea began to shake. The tremor spread, causing the water to churn and rise in waves.
Outside the hazy fog, the Jewel was bobbing up and down, pushed by the waves rushing out from the spiritual energy sealing point. The sudden change made Chief Luo, the monk, and the others on the cruise ship suck in their breaths.
“It’s starting! The spiritual energy sealing point is about to be opened!”
Chief Luo and the monk exchanged a look. They were shocked and felt a little excited at the same time. All of a sudden, they heard a dull knocking sound. It made their hearts skip a beat. Hastily, they looked down to the sea.
Beneath the giant cruise ship, there seemed to be an invisible ring of energy spreading in all directions. Then, they saw a huge black shape slowly rising from the bottom of the sea, and soon it was even larger than the Jewel. There was a monster under the sea! The monk and the others were all terrified.
Meanwhile, a small boat approached from afar at a great speed. An old man stood on it and kept thrusting a bamboo pole into the water, making the boat seemingly fly. As it drew nearer, the old man wearing a straw raincoat and a hat jumped up from the boat, walked a few steps in the air, and landed on the cruise ship.
Just when the old man arrived, a sword light cut through the clouds in the sky and flew into the spiritual energy sealing point with monstrous killing intent. The superhumans on the deck felt a shock of cold run through them, and they shivered.
“Oh? Isn’t that the God of Sakura Island, Susanoo no Mikoto?” muttered the old man with a bamboo hat.
“Patriarch!” At the sight of the old man, Yu Ge let out a startled cry and fell to his knees. The plainly dressed old man was none other than the Patriarch of Penglai, a true Earth Immortal! “Why are you here, Patriarch?”
Yu Ge was excited. The patriarch was his idol. Now that he was able to meet his idol, how could he not be excited? Although Bu Fang was also very fearsome, in Yu Ge’s eyes, only the Patriarch of Penglai was his idol.
“How could I not come when the sealing point that occupies a quarter of the Earth’s spiritual energy is about to open? Besides, Yamata no Orochi from that tiny remote island of Sakura had broken the rules, so I don’t have to follow them anymore…”
The old man chuckled and then gently stroked Yu Ge’s head.
“It’s dangerous here. You guys should leave… Many Gods and Immortals from different places will come soon. With your strength, you will not be able to withstand the shock waves from the battle,” the old man said.
That gave the monk and Yu Ge pause, and they quickly nodded. Chief Luo turned his head and looked at the sealing point. Although he was a little reluctant to leave here, he knew that in front of the real almighty experts of Earth, he was still too weak.
“Don’t worry. As long as I am here, this spiritual energy sealing point will belong to Hua.”
With a smile on his face, Patriarch Penglai floated up and tapped his toe on Jewel’s bow. With a rumbling sound, the whole cruise ship sped away, cutting through waves and sailing toward the distance.
The next moment, the old man wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat stepped on a white cloud and flew toward the spiritual energy sealing point that was enveloped in a hazy fog.
“An Immortal! That’s a real Immortal!”
