The mountain tortoise's daily routine consists of wandering around in the Abyss.
Over time, the turtle's back became covered with dust and pebbles.
Seeing that Qin Ze Qin Ze sleeping like a log, Zi Yue casually picked up a small stone and threw it at him.
Zi Liangchen frowned and glanced at her, and she finally quieted down.
"Brother, these aliens don't look any different from us," Zi Yue whispered.
Zi Liangchen said calmly, "Behave yourself, or I'll have to take you back ahead of schedule."
"No!" Zi Yue grabbed Zi Liangchen's arm and shook it. "I don't want to go back yet."
Their hushed conversation was overheard by their clones.
After a brainstorming session, the Stinking Cobbler came to a conclusion.
These brother and sister are probably young masters and ladies from a wealthy family in the Spirit Clan who have secretly run away to play.
The next morning, Qin Ze, who had a good night's sleep, sat up and stretched.
He first used the map that came with the communication card to determine the direction the tortoise was heading down the mountain.
Then he took out pots, pans, and utensils and began preparing breakfast.
Zi Yue scoffed, "I've never seen such a lazy cultivator wandering the Abyss as you."
"Want some?" Qin Ze lit a fire.
Zi Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded sheepishly. "Eat."
Whether it's one meal or two, it's still a debt; we can just pay it all off together later.
Zi Yue sat down by the fire, hugging her knees and quietly watching the flames.
Qin Ze prepared a simple breakfast.
Century egg and lean pork congee, fried egg and bacon.
Smelling the enticing aroma of the porridge, Zi Yue couldn't help but swallow hard.
"So, what do you usually eat?"
Qin Ze was very curious.
It's just a pot of porridge, why make such a big deal out of it?
Zi Yue shook her head. "I haven't eaten anything since I broke through to the Level Three Martial Artist."
"When we were hungry, we would eat some fruit, and when we were thirsty, we would drink water by the waterfall."
Is this how a human being lives?
Qin Ze cast another sympathetic glance at the girl.
"You're so pathetic."
Zi Yue straightened up and said seriously, "Excessive desires will only become your weakness."
"The strong must abandon all desires."
Qin Ze out a bowl of porridge. "Then you don't need to eat it, future strongman."
Zi Yue snatched the bowl from Qin Ze's hand, saying matter-of-factly, "Why shouldn't I eat? I already paid!"
Qin Ze chuckled, "Just a few taels of silver?"
Zi Yue took a bite of the porridge, and it was so hot that she stuck out her tongue.
Owe money doesn't mean you haven't paid it.
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth, then ladled out another bowl of porridge and looked at Zi Liangchen.
"Don't worry about him, he won't eat it," Zi Yue said.
So the Spirit Clan are all ascetics?
Such spiritual practice is far too boring.
Qin Ze only ate one bowl of the pot of porridge; Zi Yue devoured the rest.
Qin Ze glanced at the girl's flat stomach and wondered where all the food had been stored.
"Nausea!"
Noticing Qin Ze's gaze, Zi Yue said fiercely.
Qin Ze shrugged. "You can rest assured, you're very safe with me."
Zi Yue, understanding the unspoken meaning in Qin Ze's words, wished she could pounce on him and bite him to death.
whoosh whoosh--
A series of whistling sounds suddenly came from afar.
Zi Liangchen suddenly opened his eyes, his whole body on alert.
Qin Ze looked up at the sky and saw a passenger airship trailing black smoke as it crashed rapidly toward the ground.
Behind the airship, in the dark red clouds, a colossal creature was moving about, its shape indistinct.
Zi Liangchen leaped up and shielded Zi Yue behind him.
Qin Ze waved his hand, and all the pots, pans, and dishes were put away.
Rumble--
The passenger airship plunged into the distance, several hundred meters in front of the mountain tortoise.
This airship was so thick-skinned that it didn't disintegrate even after falling at such a high speed.
As the gate opened, a large group of panicked people rushed out.
At the same time, under the dark sky, the enormous creature finally revealed itself.
It is a Abyss Puppet with a wingspan of nearly 100 meters.
It flew slowly through the air.
The passenger airship appears to have collided with it, causing the accident.
Zi Yue's eyes lit up. "We're really lucky! We've encountered an Abyss Puppet! This will save us a lot of time going to the Myriad Races Black Market."
Qin Ze was somewhat surprised.
Judging from the girl's words, it seems they have a way to control the Abyss Puppet?
You should know that back then, Brother Yuanzi and Lao Dao were powerless against the Abyss Puppet.
"By the way, where are you going?"
Zi Yue suddenly asked Qin Ze.
Qin Ze replied, " The Myriad Races Black Market."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yue looked at him warily.
"Really?"
Qin Ze: "Believe it or not."
Zi Yue scoffed and then tugged at Zi Liangchen's sleeve.
"Brother, let's take him along too."
Zi Liangchen remained silent.
Zi Yue smiled, then coldly said to Qin Ze, "Consider yourself lucky!"
"I'll take you to the Myriad Races Black Market later; we'll be there before dark."
"As for travel expenses... two hundred crystal stones will suffice."
Qin Ze nodded. "Okay, then you still owe me one hundred crystals."
Zi Yue asked doubtfully, "It's clearly even."
Qin Ze explained, "Breakfast costs two hundred."
Zi Yue's face immediately darkened. "A swindler!"
Just as she was about to argue with the unscrupulous merchant, Zi Liangchen suddenly spoke up, "Here he comes."
"Come closer to me." We'll discuss this further after Zi Yue finishes her business.
Qin Ze stood next to the girl.
"Why... why are you so close to me! Move away!" The girl's face flushed slightly.
Qin Ze remained silent.
I didn't do anything.
Your face is as red as a teapot.
"Didn't you let me get close?"
Zi Yue turned her head to the side.
The bone eagle had already flown directly above the three of them.
Zi Liangchen was the first to soar into the sky.
Sensing someone approaching, the bone eagle instinctively launched an attack.
Zi Liangchen then raised his right hand, and a faint green glow emanated from his palm.
The bone eagle immediately lowered its raised talons and lowered its head.
Qin Ze observed the entire process.
Is this the profound heritage of the five Ancient Race?
To other civilizations, the Abyss Puppet, a ferocious beast resembling an apocalypse, is like a pet.
Let's go.
The green light emanating from Zi Yue enveloped Qin Ze, and then the two floated together toward the Abyss Puppet.
Soon, all three landed on the bone eagle's back.
Zi Yue said softly, "Take us to the Myriad Races Black Market, and do it quickly."
As if it understood, the Bone Eagle flapped its wings slightly and flew rapidly toward the Myriad Races Black Market, at a speed at least ten times that of the Mountain Tortoise.
Seeing the amazed expression on Qin Ze's face beside her, Zi Yue Yangyang.
She thought Qin Ze was amazed by her ability to control the bone eagle, but that wasn't the case.
The moment he stepped onto the bone eagle's back, Qin Ze suddenly felt a subtle, almost imperceptible connection between himself and the Desolate God Bloodline.
Qin Ze still remembered that the last time he faced Abyss Puppet in his Desolate God Form, Abyss Puppet turned and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.
He didn't sense any connection between the Desolate God Bloodline and himself that time.
Is it because the strength of the bloodline has increased?
Since absorbing the Relic of the six-winged angel, Qin Ze has gained even greater control over the power of the Desolate God.
Blood-red Divine Markings appeared in his right eye.
The bone eagle, which was flying at high speed, suddenly stopped.
Zi Yue's questioning voice followed.
Why did it stop?
