Special War God

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhongnan split the hunted spirit deer into two halves and lit a bonfire. Then he carefully cut off the ribs and leg meat of one half, sprinkled them with various rare seasonings needed for body refining, such as fairy salt, spiritual dew, black ze, green pepper powder, dragon back pepper, etc., which he took out from the storage magic weapon, and then strung them together with the evil-repelling wooden branches he made after practicing.

He skillfully built several grills and roasted the large skewers of spirit meat on the bonfire, while softly chanting an ancient cultivation tune: "The vast sky is where my heart is, and flowers are blooming under the rolling green mountains. What kind of rhythm is the most elegant and free, and what kind of song can make people laugh happily..."

Soon after, the aroma of barbecue containing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rose up, which made Xia Zhongnan feel deeply satisfied and peaceful.

Just as he was immersed in the singing, Tu Shan Fang'er quietly sat on the huge spirit stone beside him and exclaimed: "What a delicious smell of roasted spirit flesh, and that song that sounds like the sound of nature!"

Xia Zhongnan replied: "Fang'er, you are hungry too, right? I have prepared it for you." Then, he handed a piece of whole deer meat to Tushan Fang'er and said: "Try it."

However, Tu Shan Fang'er did not take the piece of raw meat, but frowned slightly and said, "My cooking skills are far inferior to yours, and I can't get those precious seasonings."

Xia Zhongnan asked doubtfully, "Hmm? Don't all foxes mainly eat raw food?"

Tu Shan Fang'er glared at him and then turned away. At this time, Xia Zhongnan realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly grabbed a bunch of golden and crispy Lingzhang ribs and chased after him, saying, "Hey, I was just kidding you, don't be angry, look, this one is the best."

However, Tu Shan Fang'er still stood with her back to him. Xia Zhongnan could only walk around to her and was about to explain, but he found that Tu Shan Fang'er was in tears and sobbing silently.

Xia Zhongnan rarely saw women crying, so he was a little panicked at this moment. He carefully wiped her tears with his sleeve and apologized: "I just wanted to play with you. Of course I am willing to cook for you. Don't be angry!"

However, his words seemed to intensify Tu Shan Fang'er's emotional fluctuations. She could no longer hold back her tears and finally squatted on the ground and cried softly.

Xia Zhongnan understood that Tu Shan Fang'er was obviously really heartbroken, but he really couldn't figure out why this was happening. He could only keep apologizing and felt extremely regretful. He wished he should not have started this barbecue.

After a long time, Tu Shan Fang'er finally calmed down and took the skewer of roasted deer meat handed to her by Xia Zhongnan.

Xia Zhongnan sighed helplessly: "Fang'er, you have been practicing for many years, why do you act like a little girl when you get angry?"

After saying this, Tu Shan Fang'er's eyes turned red again. Xia Zhongnan was so annoyed that he wanted to slap himself. How could he be so ignorant of his own limits?

Tu Shan Fang'er held back her tears this time, and responded with a choked voice: "In Big Brother's heart, I am just like an animal. This kind of disregard and contempt makes me feel extremely sad."

Xia Zhongnan's heart was suddenly hit hard, and he instantly realized that he had indeed played a very bad joke. Not only did he ignore Tu Shan Fang'er's feelings, but perhaps deep in his heart, he had never really regarded Fang'er as a person with emotions and dignity, which was why he said it so casually...

Xia Zhongnan felt deeply guilty for his ignorance and gaffe, and silently slapped himself hard.

Seeing that he was about to blame himself, Tu Shan Fang Er quickly grabbed Xia Zhongnan's wrist and said earnestly: "Brother, please don't hurt yourself. Fang Er will never cry again in the future, and will not make you upset!"

Xia Zhongnan's heart softened instantly, and he embraced Tu Shan Fang'er and said softly: "It was my behavior that was a beast! From now on, I will never let Fang'er shed tears again!"

The two of them comforted each other, and then sat side by side beside the blazing spiritual flame. They stared at the dancing flames and tasted the roasted spiritual food made from spiritual materials.

After this storm of "misunderstanding", the relationship between the two became closer and closer, as if they were a pair of experienced companions who no longer had any grudges against each other.

At dawn the next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Tu Shan Fang'er said, "Brother, we can set off now."

So, the two of them once again stepped on the leaves in the air, galloped between the branches, and rushed to their destination quickly.

Although the cultivators in the state of transformation have not yet achieved immortality, they can, with their profound cultivation and the power to control the vital energy of heaven and earth, leap more than ten feet high by borrowing just a little bit of power, as if they were flying close to the ground.

By noon, they had already climbed over the five sacred peaks and were approaching the heart of the Taowu Mountains. This area was also the easiest to trigger the sleeping beast Taowu.

However, just as they jumped over another steep mountain, three people suddenly appeared in front of them and blocked their way. Two of them were old acquaintances - Qiongqi and Zhuyan, and the other one was a strange monster with a human face, pig beak and tiger hooves. There was no doubt that it was Taowu.

Zhu Yan smiled evilly and said sarcastically: "Hey, you guys are quite good at picking the time. I've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

Taowu also watched the two of them leisurely, his eyes as sharp as a hunter examining his prey.

In contrast, although Qiongqi appeared ferocious on the outside, Xia Zhongnan could sense his inner fear. This seemingly arrogant attitude was actually just bluffing.

Surprisingly, Tu Shanfang'er, who seemed a little weak in front of Xia Zhongnan, did not show any cowardice in the face of the three fierce beasts blocking the road. Instead, she resolutely took a step forward and angrily scolded Taowu: "Taowu, do you want to block our way forward?"

Taowu responded, "Little fox, as long as you hand over this human cultivator beside you to me, I will let you go and will not embarrass you anymore."

Tu Shan Fang Er retorted: "You want to keep my friend, can you still say that you are not embarrassing me? Then let me compete with you again!"

Before she finished her words, a pair of magic swords suddenly appeared in her hands and she rushed forward.

Zhu Yan tightly grasped the huge spiritual pestle in his hand and roared: "Then let me deal with you!" He then stood in front of Tu Shan Fang'er, and the two sides started fighting fiercely.

It was seen that the "two" were fighting in full swing in an instant. What was unexpected was that Tu Shan Fang'er was also a powerful character in the battle. With her agile and swift body, she cleverly avoided Zhu Yan's sweeping spiritual pestle, and then quickly approached Zhu Yan, waving her two swords and launching a series of attacks.

As Zhu Yan was approached by her, the spiritual pestle, which was originally an advantageous long-range weapon, suddenly lost its advantage. He could only hurriedly move his hands to the middle of the spiritual pestle and try his best to parry and resist, but he was soon at a disadvantage.

It was the first time in Xia Zhongnan's life that he saw a practitioner using two swords, so he watched attentively.

He felt deeply that Tu Shan Fang'er was extremely agile and moved as swiftly as a rabbit. She never confronted Zhu Yan's attacks head-on, but each time she dodged the attacks with more agility than Zhu Yan, and then immediately counterattacked. The two swords in her hands flashed, pointing directly at Zhu Yan's vital points, either cutting his arms, stabbing his chest, or chopping his head. Xia Zhongnan thought to himself that if he were to be pressed so closely by her, he would probably not be able to withstand it.

Although Zhu Yan's skills were all extremely powerful, his attacks were unable to touch Tu Shan Fang'er, and his defense was ultimately unsustainable. After several rounds of fierce fighting, Zhu Yan was already in danger under Tu Shan Fang'er's fierce attacks, and he could not help but shout loudly: "Why don't you come and help me?"

Qiongqi seemed to have been left with a deep psychological haze by the previous blow to Xia Zhongnan, and hesitated and dared not approach. However, Taowu could clearly see that Tushan Fang'er was not afraid, which could be seen from her proposal to borrow Taowu's territory for passage.

Taowu ignored Zhu Yan's call and even seemed a little annoyed. It turned to Qiongqi and ordered: "You go to help Zhu Yan, and I will deal with this human cultivator."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taowu opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards Xia Zhongnan.

Xia Zhongnan snorted coldly: "You beast, are you trying to find a weak spot to attack?"

A jet-black iron spear instantly appeared in his hand. After dancing with the spear, he swung out a spear technique called "The Brave Is Invincible" and stabbed it directly at Taowu's face, determined to confront him head-on.
