Jin Lu looked at Tang Xian so certain and decided not to say anything more.
There was indeed a powerful aura about Tang Xian, difficult to discern its boundaries.
She didn't feel any malice, and thus, their cooperation was tentatively established.
Tang Xian's knife didn't stop as he processed the dog at.
Soon, another bonfire was lit.
He took out the remaining seasonings from his props bag, not too distressed to use them, as they were ant for eating, and frugality wouldn't create more.
He sared the at with a mix of black pepper, chili powder, salt and pepper, cumin, and a dipping sauce made with garlic and various seasonings, then applied the chili oil evenly onto the fatty wolf at. The aroma quickly aroused Jin Lu's appetite.
This rich fragrance also made Tang Xiaojiu's mouth water.
A whole Hell Fla Wolf was laid out there, and Tang Xian said,
"I don't have much seasoning left, but we'll have enough for tonight. You have sharp teeth and claws, so why not help cut the wolf at? Try to cut it as finely as possible, in chunk-sized pieces, and I'll handle the cooking?"
Jin Lu nodded, unable to resist the unprecedented rich aroma, and said,
"I didn't expect this at could be eaten this way."
Tang Xian couldn't cut the at into the tiny granules, then eat them skewered on sticks.
Skewered eating like this is actually quite enjoyable; if you deliberately remove the skewers and place the food on dishes, it loses so fun. The real pleasure cos from eating from the top to the bottom of the skewer in one go.
However, at the mont, Tang Xian really couldn't do this.
He had cutlery and forks in his props bag.
When it was ti to eat, he used a fork to cut the at, and Tang Xiaojiu followed suit.
Jin Lu was not as particular as the two of them, whether drinking water or eating at, her posture was quite bold.
Tang Xian noticed that his favorability finally reached seventeen points; with a little more effort, it would enter the range of twenty.
From twenty to thirty points, they would hit it off as if they had known each other for a long ti—I imagine that would be a safe zone.
He could still stay here tonight.
He didn't eat much, so he started looking at the surrounding steles.
Tang Xian didn't recognize the characters on these steles, so he asked,
"Does every island have these steles?"
"So do, so don't," Jin Lu answered, chewing on the at.
Tang Xian nodded and asked,
"Do you know what is written on them?"
"Not sure, but a long ti ago, when I was a child, the wise n from the Beast Courts said these are ancient Eden words, recording the history of the world."
The Beast Courts?
Tang Xian felt sothing was off—if the Beast Courts knew about this place, did it an that this organization approved of Jin Lu and the others being bred by the Sea Demon?
"Do you know the content of the stele texts?"
"It seems like a prophecy—about the overlord of the seas waiting for its master."
"The Sea God?"
"How could Lord Sea God possibly have a master."
Tang Xian didn't speak. According to the Pyramid's Stele description, if the Sea God was the Sea Demon, then it indeed had a master.
That would be… an ancestor of his own.
Thinking this, he felt a bit out of his depth as the Eden progeny for not even being able to understand the Eden language.
Tang Xian shook his head in self-mockery.
Soone must be able to understand it, so he noted down every symbol. Although he couldn't grasp their anings, he could morize their order forcibly and write them down later when he encountered creatures from Eden or ancient beings.
So, Tang Xian used this rote morization thod to imprint all the characters from the stele into his mind.
Jin Lu suddenly thought of sothing and asked,
"How do you plan to leave this island? Even if you kill the Great Tengu, you can't leave."
"I don't expect to leave right away; we'll take it one step at a ti. You ntioned before, right, that these islands can move?"
"Yes. Sotis, we can even see other islands, the distance between them unprecedentedly short, as if they are about to join together."
Tang Xian considered for a mont—if that was the case, the closest description to the Sea God would be the squid with hundreds of deep-sea tentacles.
It lifted large islands with so of those tentacles.
In any case, according to Jin Lu's description, no matter which form, the Sea God is enormous, without any doubt.
In human legends, the ocean is just a swimming pool for the Sea Demon.
Tang Xian stopped pondering and asked,
"Can my sister and I find a cave to stay at your place tonight when the tide cos in?"
"Will there be at like this at night?"
"Of course."
"No problem. Actually, even if there's no at, it's fine. If you really help defeat the wolf pack tomorrow, you'll be my friend forever."
Tang Xian smiled and said nothing.
It wasn't long before Jin Lu took Tang Xian and Tang Xiaojiu to a dwelling place amid the structures reminiscent of Mayan ruins.
Tang Xian eventually chose a cave.
He didn't ask for more and lay down quietly to rest with eyes closed.
Tang Xiaojiu occasionally asked so naive questions.
"Tang Xian, are we trapped here? I understand now that there's a big monster under the sea, preventing us from leaving."
Tang Xian replied,
"That's the situation for now, but that big monster might not be our enemy."
"What do you an?"
"I can't say for sure, but I will take you out of here, and we will go back to our Treehouse. Trust , it won't be too long."
Tang Xiaojiu nodded.
Tang Xian wasn't just comforting a child.
