Chapter 21 Setback

The loss was a bit severe, and Fang Yue said awkwardly, "I was swallowed just now, and I didn't see what was around clearly. I didn't think so much."

Naturally, everyone wouldn't blame Fang Yue. They tried their best to salvage what they could. Some of the supplies were salvaged, and two horses were still alive, but they had suffered serious burns. After some emergency treatment, they could still pull the carriage for a while, but no one knew how long they could last.

The only good news was that although they had encountered many things tonight, no one had died, but everyone was injured to varying degrees.

"Xiao Ye, this place is not suitable to stay for long. Wash off the stench on your body, then let's pack up and leave here quickly!"

Han Daren said with a solemn expression.

Setting up camp here, they first encountered the Bi Gua Gui (Jade Toad Ghoul), and then the smell attracted a giant Bi Gua Gui, let's just assume it was attracted by the smell.

In short, this area is definitely not safe, and there might be even more bizarre creatures lurking around.

If it were a resting place with a relatively small number of ghouls, even if they killed the Bi Gua Gui, it wouldn't matter if they didn't wash away the stench of blood, because the other ghouls would be far away.

But this place is obviously not like that.

The giant Bi Gua Gui came so quickly, which shows that it was originally nearby. Who knows how many other ghouls are lurking around? The right thing to do is to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

Fang Yue naturally had no objections.

He took off his clothes, casually used some clear water to wash off the stench, and then burned the clothes with the Flame Heart Technique. The matter was considered settled.

But Lin Ling's work of sorting out the team's supplies was more complicated.

In addition, Lin Ling was seriously injured and could only give instructions verbally, leaving Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu to do the work, which made things even slower.

It was only after Han Daren's repeated urging that the sorting was hurriedly completed, and the team set off immediately.

"Ye-ge, help me roast the frog legs."

The horses pulling the carriage looked like they were about to collapse, so no one rode the horses. Everyone walked on their own two legs.

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu trotted a few steps, approached Fang Yue mysteriously, and pointed to a large, partially missing frog leg tied to the back of the carriage.

Fang Yue was stunned, "You want to eat this thing?"

"Yes, yes! It will definitely increase my attributes!"

Last time she ate Shi You Chong (Oil-Eating Worm), she seemed to have gotten a taste for it, and was particularly interested in the corpses of ghouls.

Of course, she only eats cooked food, and it has to be delicious. For this reason, she also carries various seasonings with her.

Fang Yue didn't hesitate. He ignited a flame on his fingertip, picked up the big frog leg, and increased the heat. Soon, a fragrance wafted out.

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu quickly started sprinkling bottles and cans next to her, but her skills seemed to be lacking. It was completely random sprinkling.

Fang Yue saw that she had sprinkled the same seasoning several times, and the taste would definitely be too strong.

"You usually don't cook for yourself, do you?"

"No!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu said confidently.

As she spoke, she felt that the fragrance was about right, and asked Fang Yue to stop.

"Maybe it's not cooked yet? This is a frog leg, there are a lot of parasites."

"Ah? Ye... Ye-ge, don't scare me. We're in the game, these are ghouls, there shouldn't be parasites, right?"

"I'm just guessing, anyway, it's always right to cook it a little more."

"Uh..."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was obviously still a little resistant to bugs and such, so she agreed.

Fang Yue roasted it for a while longer before putting out the fire and handing it to Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu.

She didn't stand on ceremony, carefully tore off a piece of meat, observed it carefully for a while, and then took a bite...

Then, she spat it out with a "wah" sound.

Fang Yue: ???

"Are there parasites?"

"No... it's too disgusting..."

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's eyes were tearful, her eyes glistening with tears.

"What about the attributes? Did they increase?"

"I didn't swallow it..."

"Then eat it!"

"Ah... I, I can't eat it."

"Close your eyes and imagine this thing is a cake, you can do it."

"Cake... cake cake cake!!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu hypnotized herself, then took a small bite, and her eyes widened instantly.

"How is it?"

"Increased, increased! Ye-ge, it increased by 0.2! Just with this small bite!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu became excited, but her emotions quickly froze again, because she had put too much abstract seasoning on this thing, turning it directly into dark cuisine. It was as difficult to swallow as it could be.

Attributes versus taste, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu chose the latter, but she was also afraid that Fang Yue would hold her head down and make her eat this thing. That scene would be too beautiful.

With a dry laugh, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu said, "Ye-ge, I, I'll eat it slowly myself, you can go do your thing."

"Okay, I'll call someone to supervise you."

Ah?? There's even supervision...

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was about to cry. She knew that eating the original, unseasoned frog legs would be better than the current dark cuisine!

After Fang Yue left, he really called someone to watch her, and Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu could only eat slowly with tears in her eyes.

In fact, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was doing well. She was only suffering from eating, while others cultivated hard, which was even more tiring and bitter, and their attributes might not increase as much as hers.

Because of the previous example of the Shi You Chong, Fang Yue knew that some things that Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu could eat, others couldn't.

Even he, because of the blessing of the Breath of the Night, was qualified to eat it, and even then, killing a mere Black-Rank mid-stage ghoul didn't increase his attributes by much, let alone eating its meat.

Looking back at the rear of the team, Lin Ling was lying on the carriage, her face a little pale. Although she had taken medicine, there was no danger to her life, but her injuries were still serious and needed to be recuperated.

"Ye-ge, we've had a bad start."

Jing Yan came over at this time and said in a low voice.

Fang Yue glanced at him, his left hand holding Xiao Xuedou, and his right hand holding Han Daren's head, directly turning into a nanny.

"Don't worry, it was my oversight before. I thought that with you guys around, plus the village road was safe, it should be fine for me to cultivate for a while. Now that this has happened, I have some responsibility. On the road ahead, I will be fully vigilant and will not give the ghouls a chance to attack the team again."

With Fang Yue's guarantee, Jing Yan immediately felt relieved.

Fang Yue's previous achievements were still vivid in his mind. With Fang Yue around, the team should be safe and sound.

"Xiao Ye, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that Jing Yan was okay, Han Daren suddenly said.

Fang Yue was stunned, took Han Daren from Jing Yan, and asked strangely, "Han Daren, what is it?"

"The giant Bi Gua Gui you killed before should have been coming for you."

"Coming for me?"

Fang Yue was stunned.

He exited the cultivation state and just burst out killing, without thinking so much. Now, hearing Han Daren say this, he couldn't help but frown.

"That doesn't make sense. You guys killed the Bi Gua Gui and got the scent of blood, which attracted the giant Bi Gua Gui. Why would it come specifically for me?"

"That's what I thought too, but the truth is that it was like that. At that time, Lin Ling and the others attacked the giant Bi Gua Gui with all their strength, but it went straight for you, completely ignoring the others."
