As his consciousness gradually recovered, Nian Bing gradually remembered everything that had happened before. He opened his eyes abruptly and found himself in the wilderness. The sun shone on his body, bringing a burst of warmth. The fresh air made him feel much better.
Looking down at his body, Nian Bing could not help but scream. The hedgehog vest was still there, but none of the scrolls on it was left. That was money! And it was energy. Nian Bing used a whole month to make these scrolls. Just the research and analysis of the various scrolls' functions and combinations had cost him a lot of effort. But now, it had all been used up.
Fatso, where's Fatso? The first person Nian Bing thought of when he woke up was Fatso. Of course, he was not worried about Fatso's safety. He was worried about Feng Nu who was in Fatso's space bag. If Fatso was killed by his explosion, then wouldn't Feng Nu …
Just as Nianbing was filled with regret, a slow voice sounded from behind him. "What's wrong? Are you awake? Good, good! Looks like I'm going to have something delicious to eat. Hehe. "
Nian Bing turned around and saw Fatso leaning against a big tree, looking at him with a smile. Seeing that Fatso was fine, Nian Bing was relieved. At least, this proved that his Feng Nu was still alive. That was enough.
"Damn it, you damn Fatso, what are you made of? I had so many magic scrolls and you didn't die."
Fatso looked at the unwilling Nian Bing and smiled. "You have a lot of magic scrolls, and most of them can cause a chain reaction. Unfortunately, the strength of a single one is not enough. Even if I didn't run at that time, it wouldn't have caused any harm to me. What a pity, those scrolls are still very good. If they were under the control of your mental strength, the power they could achieve should be even greater. But now, it only flattened a small mountain and a forest. Those things are easy to make, right? You don't seem to feel any pain when using them. "
"Bullshit. You don't feel bad at all. Those are all my treasures! "Looking at the fatty's expression, he said. Nian Bing was on the verge of tears. The other party's strength was much stronger than he had imagined. Could it be that he was a Magic Warrior on par with Swordsman? No, it can't be that simple. He's too strong. How can a Swordsman neutralize two of my spells so easily?! This Fatso was unimaginably terrifying.
Fatso looked at Nian Bing's flustered and exasperated expression. He stood up and walked over. "Kid, don't overthink it. This was the first competition. Does that count as your loss? At that time, you didn't have the ability to fight anymore. "
Nian Bing snorted and said, "You're so much stronger than me, how can I possibly win? What realm has your Dou Qi reached? Even my magic couldn't do anything to you. "
Fatty smiled and said, "I'm very lazy, but. But that doesn't mean I'm stupid. If the power of your magic scrolls could be added together, let alone me, even those guys who call themselves gods wouldn't be able to resist. Unfortunately, the power of magic is very difficult to stack. Even if you could stack one or two, you wouldn't be able to stack them all. None of the magic scrolls you sent out were a threat to me, so I took you and ran away. Didn't you think about yourself at that time? The power of so many magic scrolls exploding, I'm afraid your body wouldn't be able to handle it. "
Nian Bing was silent. That's right! If he was still there, I'm afraid …. He raised his head and looked at Fatso. "So you're saying that you saved me?"
Fatso laughed and said, "Of course, you don't have to thank me. You just have to use your real skills when cooking."
Nian Bing snorted and said, "Only a ghost would be grateful to you. Fine, I admit defeat this time."
Fatso's eyes revealed a trace of joy. "Good, then you can start cooking for me now."
Nian Bing said, "Fatso, how about I discuss something with you?" Since he couldn't defeat him, he could only use his wits. Although he was very confident in himself, especially in his future development, he also knew that if he wanted to defeat this Fatso in front of him, he would not be able to do it in a few years.
"Oh? What do you want to discuss with me? It's best if it's related to food. I love talking about food, it will increase my appetite. "
Nian Bing reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "You see, you're so strong, how can I compare to you? Don't talk about fighting once, even if a mage fought me ten times, a hundred times, I still wouldn't be able to win against you. How about this, you specify a number and let me cook for you. If I finish this number, you will return Feng Nu to me, okay? This won't be a loss for you! Moreover, although my cooking skills are outstanding, there will always be a time when you get tired of eating it. After you give me the number, I will introduce you to a good chef. "
Fatso's eyes revealed a trace of light. "What you said seems to make some sense, but I prefer to sleep. Generally, after a big meal, I will have a good sleep. No, I can't promise you. If I say an astronomical number, you won't do it! Kid, why do you have so little confidence in yourself? Among ordinary people, there are only a few who can open the Sky's Eye at your age. You know, the Sky's Eye is unique to those who call themselves gods. With this thing, as a mage, your future progress will be very fast. One day, you will reach a level where you can contend with me. "
"Sky's Eye? What's that? "Nian Bing's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously thinking of the transparent ball between her eyebrows.
Fatso said, "It's normal that you don't know. Ordinary people rarely know about the existence of the Sky's Eye. The Sky's Eye can be said to be a person's third eye. Everyone has it, and it is unique to humans. The Sky's Eye can see things that the original two eyes can't. However, ordinary people's Sky's Eye is automatically closed after birth. Although I don't know how you opened the Sky's Eye, being able to open the Sky's Eye has endless benefits for your future development. "
Nian Bing stared blankly for a moment, saying, "Is it that good? Why don't I feel it? It's just that using it to see things seems to be a bit clearer. "
Fatso snorted disdainfully, saying, "What do you know? The space between the eyebrows is where the acupuncture points are. What you opened is not only the Sky's Eye, but also your spiritual cavities, even if you are a fool. As long as your Sky's Eye is opened, your spiritual cavities will also open, and you will become a smart person in a short time. Acupuncture points are very mysterious. It is said that there are seven acupuncture points in the human body. If you can open all of them. You can become a real god. And the Sky's Eye is one of the most important of the seven acupuncture points. "
Nian Bing thought for a moment, saying, "You said so much, but I still can't see the true use of the Sky's Eye. I am not a fool to begin with, so it doesn't matter if I become a bit smarter. Could it be that the Sky's Eye is better than the innate domain? "
Fatso unhappily said, "You really don't know anything. What is the innate domain? If that thing can be compared to the acupuncture points. Then there is no such thing as the Godly Continent. I am not too clear about the true use of the Sky's Eye. In any case, I can tell you that with this thing, in less than ten years. You can become a mage at the very least. "
"What did you say? Nian Bing stood up in shock. Even the dizziness in his head couldn't make up for the shock in his heart. Ten years to become a Divine Descent Master? Is this really possible?
Fatso laughed, saying, "Very surprised, right? Now you know the benefits of the Sky's Eye. The Sky's Eye has another name, it is called the Trial's Eye, also known as the Eye of Discernment. With it, you can see many things that you normally can't see and understand many things that you can't understand at all. Any knowledge will become easy in front of you. With the Sky's Eye, it is also very beneficial for opening the other six acupuncture points. Not to mention you, even in the Godly Continent, there are not many people who can open the Sky's Eye first. You should know that every time an acupuncture point is opened, the difficulty of opening the next one will double. And if the Sky's Eye isn't the first to be opened, it will inevitably be the last. As far as I know, the so-called strongest god in the Godly Continent only opened six acupuncture points. After thousands of years of effort, he still couldn't open the Sky's Eye. But if you can be the first to open the Sky's Eye, then it will be much easier to open the other six acupuncture points in the future. Although the difficulty will increase one by one, the increase will be half. If you calculate according to time, you can save at least two-thirds. "
Nian Bing's heart shook, he suddenly thought of a possibility, "Fatso, could it be that you are a god from the Godly Continent?"
Fatso stared blankly for a moment, only then did he realize that he had said too much, "You can think whatever you want, it doesn't matter if you want to think that way. But, I'm not thick-skinned, I will never call myself a god. What's so noble about a god? The so-called gods are actually all f * cking humans, they are nothing more than putting gold on their faces, what's the point?"
Nian Bing's heart shook intensely, he smiled bitterly and said, "Fatso, no matter what, you are at least a demigod guy, why do you have to make things difficult for an ordinary human like me? Don't tell me you like to eat so much? Do gods need to eat too? "
Fatso snorted and said, "I already said, there is no such thing as a god in this world, those are people who call themselves gods. Since they are humans, of course they need to eat, it's just that those who are strong can not eat for a long time and rely on the energy in their bodies to maintain their lives. Eating is an art. It's also something that people can enjoy from birth to death. In my heart, there's nothing that can compare to eating. So, I'll never change this hobby of eating for the rest of my life. "
Nian Bing took a deep breath, Fatso did not seem so scary, but why did he tell him so much? Yes, he must have thought that he would not be able to escape from his grasp no matter what. God, it was actually a demigod who captured Feng Nu, it seemed that if he wanted to rescue his beloved woman, he would have to go through an incomparably long process.
"Kid, what are you thinking? Don't worry, although I like to eat, I am still very reasonable. It doesn't matter what you want to do, I will not restrict your freedom, but I will always be around you. If you want to run, that's fine, as long as you don't want your wife's life, you can run as far as you want. By the way, there's something I can tell you. Although your wife is locked in my interspatial bag, she can see everything that happens outside. You have to work hard. Maybe she'll be very touched when you save her. You don't have to be afraid that I can't find you, your spiritual power has already been locked on by me, unless you leave the continent, otherwise, I can find you no matter where you are.
Nian Bing took a deep breath and said, "It seems that you are going to eat me? “
Fatso smiled and said, "What do you think? “
"Alright, it's settled then. However, Fatty, I have a question. Can you answer me?
Fatso nodded and said, "Of course, I don't know how long I will eat you in the future, so answering a few questions is nothing. Go ahead and ask. "
Nian Bing nodded and said, "You made the things called apertures sound so magical, so how many apertures have you opened?"
Fatso's face stiffened, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "My cultivation method is different from that of ordinary people, so the increase in my strength has nothing to do with the apertures. I can't answer your question. However, if we look at the strength of the other apertures apart from the Celestial Eye, my current strength should be equivalent to about two and a half apertures. "
"Is the Celestial Eye very different from the other apertures? Are the other apertures directly related to one's strength? " Nian Bing immediately asked the question in her heart. Since she couldn't defeat Fatso, the best way was to constantly improve her strength, and to improve her strength, this Fatso beside her was her target. Many of the things he brought to her were things she couldn't imagine, so she had to ask more. He seemed easy to talk to, and if she could learn some knowledge about cultivation from him, it would undoubtedly be a great benefit to her. After all, this guy was a Demigod!
Fatso nodded and said, "Of course there is a big difference. The Celestial Eye can be said to be the spiritual acupoint of the Seven Apertures. It doesn't improve strength, but it improves learning ability and adaptability. You will slowly understand in the future. When the Celestial Eye is opened, your body will gradually change. Of course, if you want to obtain more strength, you will have to practice more. Only then can you fully utilize the Celestial Eye."
"As for the other apertures, each of them can make a qualitative leap in your strength. Of course, this qualitative leap is different, because each aperture has a different ability to improve. I'm not very sure about the concretization, so you will have to slowly explore it yourself. You have already opened the Celestial Eye, so you will gradually feel it. At first, I found it strange. In that competition, your strength seemed to be very ordinary. How did you suddenly become so powerful in just one day? It's because you've opened your Heaven's Eye acupoint. You've only just opened it. Slowly train yourself. "
Nian Bing's eyes revealed a trace of coldness. "Fatso, I am very grateful for you telling me this. If you can let Feng Nu go, I am willing to follow you and cook for you before my strength surpasses yours. How about it? How lonely would the Phoenix Maiden be if she were to be locked up in your space bag! Don't you know how uncomfortable it is to be lonely? "
Fatso said indifferently, "Loneliness is uncomfortable, but it is also the biggest test for a person. Don't worry, didn't I tell you that she can't find everything outside? I won't let her go crazy. Moreover, it's quieter in my space bag, and it won't affect her cultivation. It will only be good for her and not bad. I definitely won't let her out. Hehe, kid, I like to see you anxious. This fatty is also very knowledgeable about food. A chef, under different moods, can make different dishes with the same ingredients. I think, for the sake of your wife's safety, the dishes you make must taste good. "
Nian Bing was speechless. He realized that Fatso was much more cunning than he thought. When he tried to trick him, he seemed to be very honest and did not hide anything at all. However, once he tried to think of a way to let Feng Nu go, he was more cunning than anyone else. It was impossible to threaten him, but it was also difficult to tempt him.
"Alright, I have wasted so much time talking to you. Fatso's stomach was swelling. Quickly. Quickly cook for me. I want to eat the dishes that you are good at. I heard that you can make some kind of Ice and Fire Nine Dragons dish, and I want to eat that. Don't worry, even though Fatso's stomach is big, he doesn't eat much. You just need to make twenty simple dishes for me to eat, and that's about it. After all, good dishes are about quality and not quantity. "
"Damn, twenty dishes is not much. However, looking at your stomach, it seems that you can really put it down." However, Fatso. There's something you don't seem to realize. Making top-notch dishes requires a lot of ingredients, and only good ingredients can make good dishes. I don't think you have prepared that many ingredients. "
Fatso's face froze, "Materials? This? I do have a little here, but there are only two pigs. Three sheep and two cows. Can these be used to make your Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire? "
Nian Bing snorted, and said: "Do you think I only know how to make barbecue? This is the wilderness. Don't tell me you want to eat a wild vegetable feast? "
Fatso scratched his big head that didn't have much hair, "I only cared about you cooking for me, but I forgot that the ingredients are the most important. Then let's find a place. It's not too far from here to the Capital City. At that time, there will be land to eat. "
Nian Bing shook her head: "No, I can't go to the Capital City. Everyone knows that I won the New Mage Competition there. I'm afraid that Emperor Hua Tian won't let me leave so easily. Since I've already left the city, I can't go back. If you want to eat, then find another city. Let me say this first, I don't have a single cent on me. You have to pay for the ingredients. My poor magic scrolls! That's all I have. I was prepared to use it to exchange for money at any time, but now I have nothing. "
The smile on Fatso's face became bitter, "This, this money is indeed a problem. I don't seem to have much either. "
Nian Bing laughed, and said: "Aren't you very capable? That's good! You can sell your art and earn some money. With your ability, it shouldn't be a problem to earn enough money to eat. "
"Bullsh * t, I'm a dignified … how can I sell my art? Kid, just follow me, I naturally have a way. Let me think, there should be a city further away from here. If we fly there, it shouldn't take too long. "
Nian Bing sat on the ground and said: "Fly? I can't fly now, how do you want me to fly without magic power? "
Fatso was stunned, and said: "Alright, I'll carry you and fly. You can recover some magic power and cook for me later. Kid, I'm warning you, don't try to play tricks. If you fall from the sky, hehe, you know the result." Nian Bing only saw a blur in front of her, and in the next moment, her body had left the ground. Fatso actually held her under his arm and flew up high. In the blink of an eye, everything on the ground became indistinguishable.
So fast, how did he fly? Nian Bing's flying speed was definitely not half of Fatso's. Her heart was full of doubts, was this magic? No, there was no fluctuation of magic! Could it be Dou Qi? Could Dou Qi fly?
As if seeing the doubts in Nian Bing's heart, Fatso quickly flew while saying: "Why can't Dou Qi fly, it's the same kind of energy, so Dou Qi can naturally do what magic can do, it's just that the way to do it is different. How is it, my flying speed isn't slow, hahahaha. "
Nian Bing's face showed a helpless and bitter smile. Facing such a powerful Fatso, he really didn't have any way. Now he could only take one step at a time. Fortunately, this Fatso seemed to really want to eat and didn't have any intention to harm him, otherwise, he was afraid that he wouldn't even know how he died. Thinking of this, he temporarily accepted his fate, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the mystery of the Tian Yan point that Fatso said. If he wanted to defeat this demigod Fatso, he could only continue to work hard.
… …
"What? Nian Bing disappeared? "Emperor Hua Tian frowned slightly.
Prince Rong said somewhat helplessly: "I also don't know what this brat is thinking, he didn't come to the banquet last night, and when I sent people to look for him, he was already gone. Your Majesty, do you want me to send people to capture him? "
Hua Tian shook his head and said: "Forget it, Elder Rong, we are brothers. I believe in you, after all, he is a member of your Rong family, a fallen leaf will eventually return to its roots, one day he will come back. Oh, right, those two brats from the Langmu Empire seem to be restless, it's not good for us to make too much of a fuss with them, I'll have to trouble you to send people to escort them out of the country. "
Prince Rong's eyes flashed with a cold light. He said indifferently: "I've already noticed their movements. They thought that they were very secretive. However, they forgot that this is our territory, what is there that we don't know? Your Majesty, now that our army is strong, I think that after a few more days. It's time for us to act. "
Hua Tian sighed softly and said: "Elder Rong! Perhaps I'm really old, and the spirit of my youth has long been worn away. I'm not very interested in war, and I don't want to ruin the empire that I've painstakingly built because of a wrong decision. Do you understand what I mean? "
Prince Rong looked at his Xing Yuanmin brothers and smiled faintly. He said: "I naturally understand what you mean, I've also thought about it for a long time before deciding to propose an attack. Our secret forces have been established for a long time, if we don't let them move around, how can they be sharpened? In terms of form, at least on the surface, the Qilu Empire is allied with us, but this time, two of their magicians are dead. I've already sent an envoy with gifts to apologize, and the Ottoman Empire's vitality has been greatly damaged after the last battle. If they want to recover, it won't be a matter of one or two days. When we have military operations, they can't wait to avoid us, and naturally won't come forward to throw away their lives. Just the Silver Feather Knights alone will take a long time to recover. Therefore, now is the best time for us to strike. I wish to personally lead a team to the Langmu Empire. My goal isn't to destroy them, but to plunder them like how the Auland Empire did. Only by fighting a monster and nurturing a battle can we maintain the strength of our army at its strongest state. Once the time is ripe, what's wrong with going against the entire continent? Don't you want to see the Huarong Empire unify the continent in your lifetime? "
Emperor Hua Tian's eyes lit up, "Elder Rong, you seem to be very confident!"
Prince Rong smiled faintly and said: "Oh you, at that time, your spirit has been worn down. You're clearly testing my ability to grasp the situation. With our current situation, there's no need to take a share of the Qilu Empire. As long as we leave two hundred thousand soldiers to guard the eastern border, I don't believe they'll dare to act blindly without thinking. Although the Langmu Empire is a tough nut to crack, it's still very easy for me to leave a few teeth marks on it. "
Hua Tian smiled, "No, you're right. For the army to maintain its strength, war is the best baptism. However, you have to remember our old policy. In order to avoid strong hatred between different races, we can burn and plunder, but we can't kill civilians. It's time for our secret forces to strike. How do you plan to fight? "
Prince Rong took a few steps forward to Hua Tian's side and said in a low voice: "This time, the war must be sudden. I have two objectives. First, the Langmu Empire's Langmu Plains are flat, fertile, and rich in all kinds of resources. Therefore, our primary mission is to plunder. I plan to lead three hundred thousand soldiers into battle. A hundred thousand of them will be combat troops, while the remaining two hundred thousand will be transportation and supply troops. We'll plunder as much as we can. As for the second objective, it's even simpler. An elite cavalry regiment from the Langmu Empire will be attracted to us, and then we'll destroy them with lightning speed. You know very well how much resources it takes to nurture a powerful cavalry regiment. As long as we can accomplish this second objective, even if the Langmu Empire wants to retaliate, they won't dare to act rashly. "
Hua Tian was somewhat surprised: "A hundred thousand combat troops? Isn't that a little too little? "
Prince Rong's eyes were filled with confidence, "It's not a little, definitely not a little. Although these troops aren't enough to occupy a city, nor to destroy the Langmu Empire, they're more than enough to destroy their elite troops. Don't tell me you still don't know the strength of our secret forces? "
Hua Tian's eyes lit up, "Alright, we'll do as you say. Prince Rong, listen up. "
Prince Rong bowed and said: "Your subject is here."
Hua Tian said seriously: "I order you to lead the army to attack the Langmu Empire. You'll be in charge of all military operations, including the imperial family. If any of the soldiers don't listen, execute them first and report later."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Prince Rong straightened his back and looked towards the north. He thought to himself, 'Ice Goddess Priestess, just you wait. Langmu's weakening is only one step of my operation. As long as I'm alive, there will be a day when my cavalry will step onto the land of the Ice Moon Empire. Nian Bing, you have to do your best. Grandfather will try his best to create all kinds of situations within the next ten years. I hope that the day I unify the continent will also be the day you destroy the Ice Goddess Priestess.'
Hua Tian continued: "Also, since we're going to use troops against the Langmu Empire, there's no need to send their people off this time. Other than those two contestants, the rest of the spies who dared to invade our country will all be eliminated. I wonder if the old man from the Langmu Empire will feel heartache when thousands of elite warriors and dozens of high-level magicians are destroyed? Hehe. "
Prince Rong thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, we can let that prince go, but that girl with the innate domain, shouldn't we also leave her behind? A person with such a powerful innate domain is a great threat to our future. "
Hua Tian shook his head and said: "No, after all, they came to participate in the competition. We can't let them get hold of any information that can be used against us. Let them go. Don't tell me that our great country is afraid of a magician? That Qianhuan Bingyun should also be let go. Elder Rong, you understand what I mean. "
Prince Rong smiled, "I understand, of course I understand. Your view of the big picture is always much better than mine. That's why I said that among us three brothers, you're the most suitable to be the Emperor. Oh right, that guy Old Su has been very quiet recently! I'm going to be born soon. Shouldn't we find him for a drink? "
Hua Tian laughed in spite of himself and said: "Oh you, you must be thinking about those jugs of hundred-year-old plum wine in Old Su's house. Alright, I've been wanting to drink for a long time. This time, we'll use it as a farewell party for you. I believe he won't miss it. "
The two old men with ulterior motives looked at each other and smiled. It was as if they were young again.
… …
"What? Nian Bing disappeared? "Mu Jing frowned and looked at her brother.
Mu Rong nodded and said: "I've already sent more people to look for him. The competition just ended half a day ago. I hope he hasn't left the city yet. Could it be that he felt something? Why is he moving so quickly? "
Mu Jing frowned and said: "That's impossible. Our movements are already secretive enough. How could he have found out? Brother, send more people. We must find his whereabouts. This person is very important. I didn't expect him to have such deep attainments in magic arrays. Although it was a bit of a trick, he still won against Bing Yun. Just from this point alone, he's worth us spending more effort to win him over. If we can let the champion of the Five Kingdoms New Magician Competition publicly announce that he's joining our Langmu Empire, it will greatly benefit our country's reputation. "
