Thump~
Qin Ze casually tossed the charred Hunting Beast onto the ground.
Then, he skillfully removed the Soul Orb and placed it into his storage ring.
What are you looking at?
Qin Ze turned around and saw Zhan Li staring at him in astonishment.
How did you do that?
Zhan Li found it hard to believe.
The Hunting Beast can hide in the void for a short time.
It's as slippery as an eel.
Qin Ze was able to catch it so cleanly and efficiently.
That's outrageous.
Qin Ze said calmly, "Nothing special, just practice makes perfect."
Nowadays, Qin Ze understands Hunting Beast like a farmer understands manure.
Having raised Big Black for so long, he not only knew everything about Hunting Beast, but he also had an uncanny ability to spot them.
No one in this world knows how to Hunting Beast better than him.
The beast tide was so large that the Hunting Beast were insignificant in comparison and did not attract the attention of the soldiers on the battlefield.
After dealing with the Hunting Beast, Zhan Li reopened the Shelter Space and went inside with Qin Ze. All that remained was to wait quietly.
Faced with several rows of soldiers, the beasts fell like wheat.
As the number of monsters continued to dwindle, the surviving soldiers on the front lines had completed their regrouping and launched an attack on the beast tide from the rear.
Caught between a pincer movement, the beast was utterly powerless to resist; it was only a matter of time before it was completely annihilated.
Qin Ze sighed again.
Is this the foundation of a powerful civilization?
Eradicating the beast tide was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
Three hours later, the beast tide was completely wiped out.
Another unit marched out of Torch City to begin clearing the battlefield and treating the wounded.
"Let's go into town."
At this moment, the main city gates were wide open.
Because a beast tide had just ended and the scene was quite chaotic, coupled with the cover of the Shelter Space, Qin Ze and Zhan Li easily slipped into the city.
Torch City is mostly comprised of white-domed buildings.
Like Penglai City.
The buildings here are all three or four stories high; there are no tall buildings.
Zhan Li, familiar with the place, led Qin Ze to a hotel and booked a suite using a fake ID.
Qin Ze naturally took over the master bedroom and threw himself onto the soft bed.
Zhan Li, standing outside the door, had a dark expression on her face.
What a shameless bastard! This room was clearly booked by him.
"By the way, does your Maka Race have any special delicacies? Take me to try them later," Qin Ze asked.
Zhan Li said irritably, "Eat, eat, all you ever think about is eating."
Qin Ze offered his answer, "The easiest and quickest way to understand a civilization is to start with their food."
Zhan Li was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and went to the second bedroom by herself.
More than an hour later, the two, having rested, went out to "hunt for food".
I happened to see the team that had recently fought off the beast tide returning to the city.
Every soldier had some kind of injury.
Regardless, they ultimately annihilated the beast tide, greatly boosting their morale.
After the army had passed, Qin Ze and Zhan Li crossed the road and entered the restaurant across the street.
It was lunchtime, and the restaurant was crowded. Qin Ze chose a seat by the window.
Zhan Li ordered a few specialty dishes, and then the two waited for the food to be served.
Qin Ze unleashed his mental power, absorbing all the conversations of the diners in the entire hall.
" The Gate of the Abyss has been closed to all for the past few days, and I don't know when it will end. I want to go home."
"Your family isn't from the capital, are you?"
"Hehe... you think too highly of me."
"It's good that they're not in the capital. I heard the capital has been besieged by those rebels."
"What kind of outdated information is this? The rebels have already been utterly defeated, and in just a few days, they'll be able to freely enter and exit the Gate of the Abyss."
"Sigh... I hope so."
"There's war going on in many parts of the Northern Continent right now. In my opinion, Torch City is actually safer."
Qin Ze raised an eyebrow.
The Maka Race appears to be engaged in a civil war.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
Qin Ze took two bites, and the taste was, to put it mildly, indescribable.
The Maka Race don't have much talent in cooking.
Looking at the dishes before him, he couldn't help but think of the famous "Stargazing" dish.
Zhan Li, on the contrary, ate with great relish.
Seeing that Qin Ze didn't touch his chopsticks, he couldn't help but ask:
"Why aren't you eating? Didn't you just say that we should start understanding a civilization through its food?"
Qin Ze smirked. "Pretend I didn't say anything."
At that moment, a man who was over two meters tall and had a muscular build pushed open the door and entered.
He was wearing a long black robe that completely covered his body.
His face was also hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to see clearly.
In an instant, all the diners in the restaurant were drawn to it.
But the crowd only glanced at it a couple of times.
This is the Abyss, filled with all sorts of strange and unusual creatures, which everyone is already used to.
The man sat in an empty seat not far from Qin Ze and the others, and simply ordered a bowl of noodles.
The two people at the next table kept glancing at the man while whispering among themselves.
"Given his build, could it be...?"
Shh! Don't let him hear. It's none of our business.
"Tch~ What's there to be afraid of? These uncivilized primitives are now walking with their tails between their legs, everyone wants to beat them up."
As he spoke, he glanced at the man again and deliberately raised his voice.
"A bunch of ungrateful bastards, they're not even as good as dogs."
"At least if I toss a dog a bone, it will wag its tail at me."
"Primitive people are primitive people; their brains are probably no bigger than a fist. Expecting them to understand the word 'gratitude' is simply wishful thinking."
These words resonated with and were echoed by other customers in the restaurant, who then launched into a barrage of criticism.
"This is going to be good." Zhan Li grinned.
Qin Ze was puzzled, but out of the corner of his eye he suddenly saw a deep blue bloom.
The man in the long robe raised his right hand, and a fierce blue flame knocked the two who had initially been making veiled insults to the ground.
The restaurant fell completely silent.
The man in the long robe slowly rose, lowered his hood, revealing a rugged and resolute face, and a pair of unique red eyes.
" Blue Flame People?!"
A storm raged within Qin Ze's heart.
The man in the long robe said in a deep voice to the two people on the ground, "Apologize."
"I apologize for what you just said."
The man's face was full of disdain. "Why should I apologize? Does a son-in-law have the right to betray his master?"
The man in the long robe took a step forward, Blue Flame Release at the same time, causing the temperature in the restaurant to rise rapidly.
I'll say it one last time.
"Apologize."
The man, with his neck stiff, retorted, "Those who are lowly should be aware of their lowly status."
Do you understand what the phrase "living under someone else's roof" means?
"Sorry, I forgot that your brain capacity makes it difficult to understand such complex vocabulary..."
boom--
Angry blue flames erupted from the robed man's body, and the talkative man was knocked out of the restaurant, crashing heavily onto the long street outside.
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.
Good heavens, Level Six Martial Artist.
Everyone else in the restaurant looked apprehensive.
After all, they had all participated in that "discussion" just now.
The talkative guy fell hard and lay on the ground clutching his chest, shouting repeatedly:
"The son-in-law has betrayed his master!"
