Chapter 643 Encounter.
Shi Lang's cold voice made the people tremble, and they did not expect someone to approach them all of a sudden. The group of cultivators was dressed in soft leather armor, and they all had a short sword tied to their waist, while two also had bows and arrows tied at their backs.
Shi Lang was not scared. Even if these people were in the Immortal Lord realm, they were not his match. He held his spear and walked over with lighting sparks flickering over the body of his weapon.
The group had five people: three men and two women. Watching him approach so aggressively, the people placed their hands on the hilts of their swords and were ready to attack when the young man in the middle stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, we did not know that you set up this barrier."
lightsΝοvεl ?οm Shi Lang did not wish to escalate the situation and asked, "Can you tell me what you intend to do here?"
The young man gave a sheepish chuckle and said, "We thought someone must have hidden a treasure here, so we came to check. I apologize for the misunderstanding."
Shi Lang sighed and shook his head. He said, "It is good that you did not proceed further. The tree does not only have barriers around it but also a killing formation."
His calm tone sent chills down the spines of the five people. They did not expect Shi Lang to have gone to such an extent. One of the group members spoke using spirit communication, 'Since he has put up a killing array, it must be a treasure. Why not the five of us attack him and take the treasure for ourselves?'
The young leader replied, 'Brother Man, are you blind, or have you turned into a dimwit? Can you not sense the bloody smell surrounding him, or is your perception of killing intent turned nil?'
His words directly choked the desire to battle in his fellow teammate. The group watched as Shi Lang lifted the arrays and climbed the top of the tree with ease. He found Yu Xiedi sitting in the lotus position with her eyes closed.
She was in a deep meditative state. He smiled and did not disturb her, and looking at the side, he found that all the snacks were finished already. He rested for a few minutes before he found that the little girl opened her eyes and was surprised. She asked, "Master, when did you come back?"
Shi Lang replied softly, "A few minutes ago. How are you cultivating? Do you have any doubts about the spirit acupoints?"
The little girl nodded and discussed the importance of the spirit acupoints. She even mentioned other doubts, and Shi Lang explained things to her patiently. Yu Xiedi nodded, and just when she wanted to say something, her stomach grumbled. Shi Lang smiled when he watched her look down with a tint of red on her cheeks.
He chuckled and said, "Come, little foodie, I shall cook some wolf meat for you."
The girl raised her head with a surprised expression on her face. She did not expect Shi Lang to be so nice to her. The terran held her in his arms and brought her down to the ground. The cultivation group did not leave, but they set up a camp a short distance from his spot.
Shi Lang did not bother with them. He placed Yu Xiedi on the ground and walked ahead. The girl was extremely sensitive. She also sensed the presence of the cultivators and grabbed onto Shi Lang's sleeve. The terran smiled and patted her head gently before he walked ahead.
They came to a small clearing, and Shi Lang bought out the corpse of a leaf wolf. He cleaned the corpse with great proficiency and taught her how to do it in the future. Yu Xiedi did not show any appalled expression of the process. It could be because she has seen a lot of bad things already.
Then he collected some dry wood and then gathered them in a place. Yu Xiedi was akin to a tail following behind him. Shi Lang smiled and taught her everything necessary for survival in the world. He set a fire alight and placed the cleaned-up meat pierced with a skewer next to the flame.
Yu Xiedi watched the situation silently and then watched Shi Lang patiently rotate the skewer. The girl did not know what Shi Lang was doing, but her tongue was licking her lips. The terran smiled and said, "Have some patience, Xiao Yu."
The girl nodded, but her eyes were reflecting the gradually cooking meat. Shi Lang spread some drops of oil and some condiments on the meat, and a strong fragrance emitted from the meat. Yu Xiedi was having a hard time controlling herself. Shi Lang blew on a skewer and handed it to the young girl.
The girl almost snatched the skewer and opened her mouth to take a big bite when Shi Lang said, "Xiao Yu, learn to restrain your heart. It will not run away, and I will not let anyone snatch what is yours. If you act too hasty, the food that you like so much might burn your mouth."
Yu Xiedi was listening to him, but her control was not too good, and she bit into the hot meat. The scalding sensation on her tongue made her spit out the chunk of meat, and she exclaimed in pain. Shi Lang did not inch forward to help her, which was the growth process. A human would not mend their ways until they have stumbled over and fell to the ground.
Yu Xiedi calmed down after the burn and slowed down to eat. She looked at Shi Lang, who nodded faintly as she continued. Suddenly, the girl turned her head around and spotted the five cultivators coming over from the tree line. She stood up and rushed to behind Shi Lang. The terran asked, "What do you want?"
