While they were talking, the thunder tiger beast was almost pickled.

Jiang Xue used her spiritual power skillfully and carefully placed the huge thunder tiger beast on the barbecue grill.

She was very skilled. While turning the roast meat, she meticulously applied sesame oil with a brush. Every time the brush head touched the meat, a mouth-watering "squeaking" sound was heard.

Time passed quietly, and the gray-haired old man couldn't wait to taste the fragrant meat of the thunder tiger beast.

The old man looked at the delicious food that Jiang Xue had grilled with salivating eyes. The aroma of meat spread in the air, stimulating his taste buds. He licked his lips while looking at the meat.

After a long wait, the Thunder Tiger Beast was finally baked!

"You can eat it now!" The old man couldn't wait to reach out and tear the meat, but was stopped in time by Jiang Xue with the oil brush in her hand.

"Old man, it's still very hot after it's just been baked!" Jiang Xue said helplessly. How greedy this old man is.

Jiang Xue took out a sharp dagger from the space, which was just right for cutting meat.

"Girl, I didn't expect you to be so well-equipped!" The old man watched Jiang Xue cut the meat piece by piece with excitement. He was drooling as he watched from the side.

He didn't care whether the meat was hot or not, and just picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth: "Hmm... girl, your cooking skills are really good, this meat is so delicious."

The old man felt that the barbecued meat he had eaten before was not fit for human consumption. Compared with the meat grilled by Jiang Xue, the meat he had eaten before was really not good enough for him!

"Girl, do you need a helper? See if I can do it!"

The old man used to think it was good to live in seclusion in the mountains and ignore worldly affairs. Now that he has met Jiang Xue, who has good wine and good meat, he wants to fight for his future life!

"I'm in need of talented, loyal talents. Are you considered someone who loves drinking and eating meat?" Jiang Xue joked while cutting meat!

After all, this old man is stronger than them. In this world where martial arts is respected, she dare not believe him easily. She just thought that the old man was playing a joke on her!

"No, I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe it?" The old man said anxiously, looking at Jiang Xue's face full of distrust.

"Then what can you do? How strong are you?" Jiang Xue asked the two questions she was curious about all at once.

"I can tame beasts. I have dual spiritual roots of water and earth. My strength level is at the 2nd star of the Void Refining Stage!"

"Uncomfortable with the climate and water?" Jiang Xue said with a smile after hearing that.

She really didn't expect that there were people with dual spiritual roots that happened to be the dual spiritual powers of water and earth.

What Jiang Xue didn't know was that this old man was a famous beastmaster in Tianlong Country ten years ago. Later, for some unknown reason, he lived in seclusion in the Ghost Forest!

"An old man who loves to drink and eat meat, you were the number one beastmaster ten years ago, right? Master Kong!"

Nangong Jue picked up a piece of meat and skillfully placed it on the green leaves. He rolled up the green leaves and handed them to Jiang Xue's lips. He looked at the old man suspiciously and asked.

Jiang Xue hesitated for a moment, then quickly opened her mouth. At that moment, Nangong Jue stuffed the delicious dish of meat wrapped in vegetables into Jiang Xue's mouth without hesitation. Jiang Xue chewed the food slowly, savoring it.

"Yes, it's me..." The old man said as he took out the white wine that Jiang Xue had handed to him. He opened the bottle cap and drank and ate meat leisurely, enjoying the fun and responding to the questions raised by Nangong Jue!

"Master Kong, I have heard a little about your past! Simply avoiding the problem will not solve any problem. What needs to be settled must be settled eventually!" Master Kong, Nangong Jue, advised earnestly.

However, Kong Lao did not respond, but continued to raise the bottle of white wine in his hand and drink it down one cup after another.

Ten years ago, his strength was only at the Jindan stage. After that, he left that place and began to travel around, cultivating spiritual power, eager to become stronger and fight back again.

During these ten years, no one except himself knew how he survived. After leaving the imperial capital of Biluo, he wandered around and finally came to the depths of this haunted forest.

When he first came here, his strength was only at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. In the beginning, he suffered a lot. The monsters were stronger than him. Not only could he not control them, he was almost swallowed by the monsters many times.

He could only survive in this place where people were eaten without leaving any bones behind by challenging monsters with similar strength to him.

The cave where he was was also one he broke into accidentally. His current strength was due to the beast tide some time ago, which allowed him to obtain the inheritance of the ruins there by chance. He also had this strength. He originally had the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, but because of the inheritance, he directly skipped two levels and came directly to the Refining Void Realm.

He felt that the best luck in his life was the beast tide that was caused for unknown reasons, which made him the current strength. However, what he didn't know was that his current strength allowed him to roam across this continent.

That's why Nangong Jue comforted him. With his current strength, he could take revenge on any hatred and wouldn't have to hide anymore.

"Old man, this wine of mine is very strong and has a strong aftereffect. Is it really okay for you to keep drinking like this?" Jiang Xue couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Old Kong drinking so heavily, and reminded him with concern.

"You're right, kid. We should face it." The old man let go of his gloomy mood, suddenly stopped drinking and said with a firm look in his eyes.

Mr. Kong shook his head and said, "Girl, you underestimate me. Although this wine is strong, it won't make me drunk."

The three of them had killed half of such a big thunder tiger beast. In fact, most of it was eaten by Old Kong. After Jiang Xue and Nangong Jue had eaten their fill, they each found a place to rest.

As night slowly fell, the three of them found different places to rest.

Therefore, on the following journey, because Kong Lao was a beastmaster, they traveled much faster in the Ghost Forest than before. Jiang Xue kept Tianbao with her all the way, and Tianbao brought her some good things from different places from time to time.

After all, with the existence of Kong Lao, the monsters in the depths of the ghost forest would stay away from him, which made it convenient for Tianbao to search for treasures within a safe range.

"Master, I found a big black hole over there. There are many treasures in it, but there is a powerful monster in it. I dare not go in." Tianbao said with his little head hanging down.

Jiang Xue was brought by Tianbao to the entrance of a cave. The entrance was very large. The light from the sky illuminated a few meters inside the cave. It was pitch black further inside.
