Chapter 138

After cleaning it up, he stewed it together with the magic potion packet that Xie Juanhan had prepared in advance.

The soup had thickened by this point.

A fresh aroma wafted out with the steam, filling the entire campsite with its fragrance.

I'll make a dipping sauce later, with some grape vinegar, fish soy sauce, fish powder, lemon juice, and a big spoonful of Spicy Clam powder—it'll be absolutely delicious dipped in it!

The moment Harper and the others thought about it, they started to get hungry.

Telingewei looked up at them. "What are you yelling about?"

Harper and the others had been holding their chests high, proudly announcing that they had returned with delicious prey.

Upon seeing the Demonic Beast in Telingewei's pot, they immediately stopped howling and instead fawned over Telingewei's legs, rubbing against them several times.

Telingewei looked at the prey they brought back. "Should we clean and marinate this game, and roast it for a midnight snack?"

Harper and the others shouted in agreement, "Aww!"

Xie Juanhan also heard the commotion, hurriedly finished his work of condensing Dragon Power Crystal for the day, transformed into a dragon, and flew out of the valley.

"It smells so good!" Before even reaching the temporary camp, Xie Juanhan couldn't help but take two deep sniffs.

He transformed back into human form and landed. "Is it soup today?"

Telingewei nodded. "The stewed meat will make you want to drink some soup later; it'll whet your appetite."

Xie Juanhan: "I don't need an appetizer, I'm so hungry I'm practically starving."

Telingewei guessed as much as he had, and opened the soup pot, ladling out a large bowl of soup and meat for him.

Xie Juanhan didn't mind that the cooking wasn't quite right and the meat was still a bit tough. He took the soup bowl, released some of the cold air to cool the soup down a little, and then gulped down most of it.

Telingewei mixed a dipping sauce in a bowl and placed it on the tree stump next to him.

He pinched the meat bone, stuffed the meat into the dipping sauce, and spun it around to coat every side of the meat with the sauce.

Then, he tore off a large piece of meat and chewed it with satisfaction.

Telingewei served soup and meat to the furry creatures as well.

With the meat in his mouth, Xie Juanhan freed his hand and released some cold air into their food bowls.

The furry creatures immediately buried their heads in their food.

Xie Juanhan finished one bowl and went to get a second one.

After the first bowl of soup and meat, he finally calmed down a bit and was in the mood to talk again.

"Did you come to see me just now?" Xie Juanhan asked Telingewei, a meat bone still in his mouth.

Telingewei nodded. "I took a look when I put the meat in the stew."

Xie Juanhan asked, "So what do you think? Has the environment of the Land of the Fallen God changed? Has the rainfall decreased?"

Telingewei said very seriously and with absolute certainty, "No, the Land of the Fallen God looks exactly the same as before."

Xie Juanhan used the vast magical elements of the Land of the Fallen God to condense Dragon Power Crystal, but he did not want to damage the local environment.

These days, they have been observing the impact of extracting magical elements on the local environment.

Fortunately, the local natural environment doesn't seem to have a strong connection to magical elements, and there haven't been any issues over the past few days.

Xie Juanhan felt slightly relieved, took out a crystal bottle from his spatial arm ring, and shook it with a hint of pride. "I've condensed fifty-seven Dragon Power Crystal today."

Telingewei: "Is it hard?"

Xie Juanhan said, "It's alright, I don't feel anything except for being a little hungry."

Xie Juanhan had to stop and adjust every time he condensed a Dragon Power Crystal.

He condensed the energy quickly, but the whole process was not easy.

Seeing the heartache in Telingewei's eyes, Xie Juanhan didn't kiss him properly in front of the furry creatures, plus his lips were smeared with soup, making it inconvenient to kiss him.

Xie Juanhan tilted his head and nuzzled Telingewei's head. "Thanks to you handling the logistics."

Besides helping draw magic circles, Telingewei also took Harper and the others hunting every day.

Harper and his Companion Beast are generally not very strong and cannot hunt particularly high-level prey.

Although Moli and Nibote are quite strong, their daily prey mainly consists of level two Demonic Beast.

Hunting level three Demonic Beast is extremely dangerous for them; it will inevitably result in bloodshed.

If you encounter a level 4 Demonic Beast, the situation will reverse; they will become the prey.

Only Telingewei would faithfully hunt level four Demonic Beast every day and then bring them back to Xie Juanhan to nourish him.

After the number of level four Demonic Beast in the area decreased, he flew to more distant places to fight, and occasionally he would also go to fight sea fish.

With so much food as a foundation, Xie Juanhan was able to condense so many Dragon Power Crystal.

It can almost be said that these Dragon Power Crystal were created by their collective efforts.

Xie Juanhan took another sip of soup and squinted his eyes contentedly.

Stewed, braised, roasted, oven-roasted— Telingewei prepared a variety of meals for him, and every flavor was delicious.

For a high-level being like him, as long as the energy contained in the food is large enough, it will taste delicious.

It will be even more delicious if cooked carefully.

Xie Juanhan often felt a deep and immense love in the food that Telingewei had prepared.

Harper and the others didn't eat much, and they were full quickly.

Telingewei was full too.

There was still about half a pot of soup and meat left in the pot.

Xie Juanhan transformed back into his dragon form and devoured the remaining food.

After eating, a small bulge was noticeably visible on the long, White Dragon's belly; it was round and very elastic.

Nibote stared at the dragon's bulging belly, his claws itching to strike, but was lashed out by the dragon's tail.

The White Dragon won't let you touch it.

"Meow!" Nibote jumped away quickly.

The White Dragon watched as Telingewei returned after tidying up the camp, and placed the enormous dragon head on his lap.

Telingewei reached out and hugged the White Dragon, gently touching White Dragon smooth, cool, and elastic translucent scales.

As White Dragon drifted off to sleep, he suddenly remembered. "I saw some little messenger birds flying towards the camp today. Did Eermirisi and the others reply?"

They had written to the Gargoyle Eermirisi long ago saying they wanted to visit him.

Their journey was repeatedly delayed, and they were later stranded in the Land of the Fallen God, so they simply wrote another letter.

Besides sending letters to Eermirisi, they also wrote to the Weaving Fairies and Goblin in the Magic Forest, asking them to watch over their homes.

Little messenger birds frequently visit their makeshift camp.

Telingewei: "Yes, it's a letter from Eermirisi. He told us there's no rush and we should set off when it's convenient for us."

The White Dragon's voice became muffled with exhaustion. "It won't be long before I've used up almost all of my water magic element. I'll see if I can use earth magic element. As for fire magic element, I really can't."

Telingewei: "Then we'll leave when we're done."

The day they left came sooner than they had imagined.

A few days later, Xie Juanhan sensed that the chaotic magical elements in the Land of the Fallen God were gradually calming down, and the dark clouds had even dissipated somewhat. He knew that this couldn't continue.

"A total of four thousand seven hundred and forty-four Dragon Power Crystal," Xie Juanhan said to Telingewei after Dragon Power Crystal. "Fewer than I expected."

"But it's large, and the total volume and number of them are quite considerable," Telingewei said.

Xie Juanhan looked at the Dragon Power Crystal, each slightly larger than a soybean, and quickly accepted this consolation. "That's true, in terms of volume, we haven't lost out this time."

Xie Juanhan stood in the temporary camp, looking at the Land of the Fallen God not far away. "This is truly a nice place."

Telingewei: "If we come back in a few years, it should slowly recover to its original state."

Xie Juanhan: "Wait! It can still be restored?"

Telingewei nodded. "As the ancient battlefield of several major battles, it's been buried several layers of soil; the actual locations of the battles are underground. In a few years, when the underground magical elements rise up, it will return to its original state."

Xie Juanhan sincerely said, "That's wonderful."

Now that they no longer needed to condense Elemental Crystal in the Land of the Fallen God, they prepared to set off for the highlands as originally planned.

They went back to say goodbye to the Pixie of the mage tower, and then flew up to the higher ground.

On the evening of the fourth day, they met the Gargoyle Eermirisi, who was waiting at the top of the palace complex.

Eermirisi's first words to them were, "Long time no see! The little Griffin has grown so much, and... well, it's gotten fat too."

Just as Nibote was about to greet them excitedly, his expression cracked upon hearing this. "Meow?!"

These days, Xie Juanhan has been eating a lot of food to replenish his energy.

Harper and the others ate along with them.

However, Harper and the others, being Companion Beast, don't easily gain weight.

Moli was quite restrained and didn't gain weight.

Only Nibote remained, happily following the White Dragon, eating five meals a day plus a midnight snack, growing directly from Griffin into Griffin ball.

Nibote, who was proudly showing off his large wings and smooth, long feathers, was no longer proud at all.

It slumped down dejectedly, no longer wanting to pay attention to the Gargoyle: "Aww?"

Eermirisi reached out his large hand and patted its head, saying, "Your name is Nibote, right? You look so strong and imposing! Aren't you, Nibote?"

See you tomorrow!

Chapter 138 [VIP]

The Gargoyle Eermirisi has long lived alongside the Griffin on the highlands.

He genuinely liked these large lions with wings.

Ruffling Nibote's head wasn't enough.

He also grabbed Nibote's two thick front paws and pulled him up.

"You're so tall!" Eermirisi's eyes were full of admiration. "Almost as tall as me."

This was the first time Nibote had been pulled up like this by a "person," and his round eyes were filled with confusion.

It stood on the ground with its two strong hind paws, its belly slightly raised.
