Chapter 970

Guo Shier nodded. "That's good. It's a small place. Peace is a blessing."

Suddenly, Nan You shouted, "We're here …"

Guo Shier looked up and saw a white line in the sky. He knew it was the reflection of the water. "We can finally rest. Sigh, I'm hungry …"

Falconer and the others' stomachs began to growl. It was normal for altar-level professionals not to eat for more than ten days. But they couldn't go without food for a long time. Hawk Demon smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't want to say it, but Twelfth, I can't take it anymore. It seems like I haven't eaten for many days, right?"

While they were discussing what to eat, Qi Wuzhen suddenly appeared from the side and said with a smile, "What do you want to eat?"

Guo Shier held back his laughter and said, "We were discussing. I think black beetle meat is good …"

Qi Wuzhen asked, "Can the worm's meat be eaten?"

Guo Shi 'er swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "It's delicious."

Qi Wuzhen said, "I only know that insect eggs are delicious. I don't think I've eaten insect meat."

Falconer laughed. "Shier is a master of rune food."

Qi Wuzhen nodded. "I admit. I've eaten his rune food. If I eat anything else … the taste will be much worse."

Guo Shier said, "It's not that I'm good at cooking. It's just that the ingredients here are too good."

Wang Ke 'er shouted from the front, "We're here." Then she rushed down. It was a huge island. There were more than ten peaks on the island. Countless small rivers and streams were distributed among the mountains. The island was densely covered with trees. There were no signs of people. It was obviously an uninhabited island.

Qi Wuzhen hovered above the island. She looked around and said, "There are no powerful mutated rune beasts on this island. Let's go down."

They landed by the lake. Guo Shier couldn't help but sigh. The water here was extremely clear. They could clearly see the bottom of the lake. There were schools of silver fish swimming leisurely in the water.

It was a standard natural environment. Guo Shier had never seen such a clean lake in his previous life. But in this life, he had seen too many sceneries of Mei Li. Every time he saw it, he would sigh.

Qi Wuzhen said, "I'm hungry."

Falconer, Luo Zhan, and Nan You also laughed. "Shier, cook something delicious. It'd be best if it's special." They had been fed by Guo Shier's food.

Wang Keer looked at everyone in confusion and asked, "Captain, what's good to eat?"

A group of foodies. Guo Shier scratched his head. "We'll have a bug feast today!"

Wang Ke 'er didn't know how good Guo Shier was at making rune food. She had never eaten bugs before. She looked at them in confusion. They all looked like they were about to drool. She asked, "Can bugs … be eaten?"

Guo Shier said, "Yes, I'll eat the black beetles." Poor black beetles. Not only were their spirits extracted, but their flesh was also eaten.

The black beetles looked ugly. They had a black shell. Not only did they have armor on their bodies, but they also had countless spikes. They looked very ferocious. Wang Ke 'er lost her appetite just by looking at their appearance. She said, "Forget it, you guys eat. I'll eat jerky … Hey, what's with your eyes …"

Falconer smiled. "Okay, one less person. I don't mind."

Qi Wuzhen grinned. "Dummy, don't regret it later."

Wang Ke 'er was confused. "Regret? What do I have to regret? "She said in a daze. She didn't understand why she would regret not eating bugs.

Guo Shier didn't say much. He directed Falconer and the others to quickly level a piece of ground. It was a very simple job. First, they used virtual talismans to press the ground. Then, they used a few more virtual talismans to fix the ground. Soon, a flat ground of about ten square meters was formed.

Taking out the bodies of six black beetles, Guo Shier began to cut them up. Soon, he determined a few parts. Based on his experience, he only used the meat of the legs and chest. He gave up on the rest. Soon, a large amount of bug meat was cut up and put into a few big copper basins. Then, he took out some fresh meat of mutated rune beasts.

Guo Shier said, "Nan You, go and catch some fresh fish."

Nan You flew to the lake. He sent out virtual talismans and formed a virtual talisman net. Soon, he fished out hundreds of foot-long silver fish. After choosing a dozen big fish, he asked, "Shier, there are a lot of prawns here. Do you want some?"

Guo Shier said, "Yes." In his previous life, his favorite food was prawns and crabs.

Wang Ke'er was dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why it took so much effort to have a meal. Usually, she would have jerky and bread, or at most a pot of hot soup.

Qi Wuzhen sat on the side, waiting with a smile. She said expectantly, "Prawns? Can these small things be eaten? Oh, why did you use level-four mutated black beetles? Aren't there more advanced Black Armored Hornets? "She had never noticed such a weak creature.

Guo Shier explained, "Mutated rune beasts with higher levels are hard to cook. Level-four mutated black beetles are enough. You don't need higher-level ones. The lake prawns are good stuff. You will know when you eat them." He took out a lot of spices and vegetables from the Plant Concealment Amulet. Without these ingredients, it would be hard to have a good taste.

Stir-fried lake prawns, steamed bug meat, silverfish mushroom soup, and braised mutated rune beast meat. Finally, Guo Shier took out a pot of black beetle eggs. He washed them, marinated them with seasonings, and ate them raw.

A few big copper basins were filled with dishes. Guo Shier said, "Let's eat!" He washed his hands and picked up a bug egg from the copper basin. He tried to eat it, and a strong aroma spread in his mouth. He said in surprise, "Damn, this is super delicious. Delicious!"

Wang Ke'er looked at the people fighting for food. She was actually very hungry. She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and picked up a piece of braised rune beast meat. She didn't dare to eat bug meat, but she didn't have any resistance to mutated rune beast meat. She was completely convinced after just one piece of braised meat. The taste was something she had never tasted before.

Then, she reached out to grab the lake prawns. The stir-fried lake prawns and the spices Guo Shier had collected from this world tasted very good. Wang Ke'er couldn't stop after eating one.

Finally, Wang Ke'er couldn't help but eat the bug meat. She had no choice but to eat. She could tell from their expressions that it was delicious as she watched them gobble down the worm meat in big bites.

After eating to their heart's content, everyone was very satisfied. Wang Ke'er had never eaten such delicious food. She was completely convinced by this meal. She thought to herself, "If I can eat this kind of food often, it won't be bad to stay in this team."

Qi Wuzhen said, "I will go to the mountain in front to refine the sacrificial artifact. You guys wait on the island, don't come up to the mountain. When I am refining, there will be a lot of noise." Without waiting for anyone to answer, her figure slowly faded away. She left the lake and went to the top of the mountain.

Boom!

Guo Shier and the others looked at the mountain in the distance with their mouths agape. A part of the mountain was actually forcibly split off. When the smoke and dust dispersed, the mountain had become half a platform. The top half of the mountain had disappeared.

Falconer smiled bitterly and said, "What is this?"

With a flash of red light, a ten-layered sacrificial altar appeared on top of the mountain. It looked very magnificent.

Guo Shier couldn't help but shake his head. Qi Wuzhen had always been this unscrupulous. She didn't act like a woman at all. She was more like a ruthless bandit. He said, "This is too much of a commotion. Half of the mountain has been destroyed just to build a platform?"

Wang Ke'er curled her lips and said, "Showing off!" She only dared to say this after Qi Wuzhen left.

Guo Shier's eyes glanced at her butt. Wang Ke'er couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "You … where are you looking at?"

Falconer and the others couldn't help but laugh. Guo Shier innocently said, "I'm not looking at anything. You are thinking too much. Haha."

Wang Ke'er was so angry that she kept stomping her feet. Guo Shier said, "I wonder what kind of treasure Sister Zhen is going to refine. Strange, I have never seen Sister Zhen use a sacrificial artifact."

Falconer said, "With her strength, there shouldn't be any difference whether she uses a sacrificial artifact or not."

Wang Ke'er pricked up her ears to listen. She was actually very curious about Qi Wuzhen. After being spanked, although she was very angry, she couldn't help but admire her. She was no match for Qi Wuzhen at all.

Boom!

This time, it wasn't an explosion. It was the sound of a rising flame. A flame shot up to the sky. The flame was actually more than ten thousand meters high.

The whole island was blown by a strong wind. The flame sucked in the surrounding air. Driven by the flame, it quickly rose into the sky. The air in all directions immediately filled up the gap, forming a violent gale that was like a hurricane.

Guo Shier exclaimed, "Is this refining a sacrificial artifact … or burning a wasteland? So scary."

The flame burned for more than ten minutes before it suddenly shrank back. From the lakeside, Guo Shier and the others could clearly see the pagoda-like sacrificial altar. They could also see Qi Wuzhen. From below, Qi Wuzhen's figure was only the size of a sesame seed. But from the dazzling light in front of her, they could see it clearly.

Wang Ke'er regretfully said, "It's a pity that she didn't let us go up to see."

Guo Shier said, "Alright, Sister Zhen is starting to refine a sacrificial artifact. She won't come down for a while, so we can take a break. Uncle Falconer, Uncle Luo, help me clear an empty space. I want to release a talisman house."

Wang Ke'er said, "Also help me clear an empty space. I also have a talisman house!"

Guo Shier said, "Nan You, come and help."

They worked together. Soon, two empty spaces were cleared in the forest about a hundred meters away from the lakeside. Two different style talisman houses were released.

On the seventh day, the sacrificial altar on the mountain peak once again let out a rumbling sound.

The sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Heavy rain started to pour. Guo Shier leaned on the door frame of the talisman house. He stared at the mountain peak and said, "This sound and heavy rain … could it be caused by refining a sacrificial artifact?"

Suddenly, Qi Wuzhen's voice was heard. "Shier, come to the mountain peak!"
