Chapter 47: Preparing Pork

Wu Xuan expressed his determination to latch onto a powerful ally, following closely behind Shi Nianqing with an exceptionally well-behaved demeanor.

Armed with a dagger and an axe, they retraced their steps to the location where they had set traps along the path.

Those mother pigs were still hanging from the trees, swaying gently, having lost their lives long ago.

However, the little piglets were still full of vitality. Wielding the dagger, they cut down the mother pigs from the trees, packed up their gear, and dragged the entire haul over to the bank of the small stream.

There was simply too much prey to handle easily...

Suddenly, the dust covering the fierce beast surged violently. Then, with a loud bang, it was completely blasted apart by Hu Gao's formidable strength.

"Sister-in-law, let's not make it a bother, forget it. I won't wait for Brother Shen anymore, I'll be leaving first." With that, Ding Changsheng started to get up to leave, but Li Hongfeng suddenly pressed him back down into his seat.

Su Fengnuan shook her head. "What is there to see in your jokes? I only came to check on your injuries. Since you are quite alright, I'll take my leave." As she finished speaking, she flicked her precious sword, which grazed past Lin Kelan's cheek and embedded itself deeply into the armrest of Fengyang's chair.

The Grand Princess of Northern Zhou and the Prime Minister exchanged nods, instantly raising their alertness to the utmost to handle the crucial matters about to be discussed.

"Headmaster, what on earth is going on here?" At the grand entrance of the sword pavilion, a righteous-looking middle-aged man with dignified features raised his eyes and stared intently into the depths of the pavilion. Beside him, the old steward could not help but ask.

"They didn't say who they were. I'm not scared because of that, but rather because they know everything—even where my house is located! That's what I'm worried about. Tell me, what should I do if something goes wrong?" Yin Jing said with deep anxiety.

Having said that, Xia Mengning made to turn and leave. Seeing this, Yinghua hurriedly stepped forward to grab the hem of Xia Mengning's skirt, and with a sudden, violent exertion, coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood.

That path was exceptionally clean. After walking for a stretch, the light ahead began to fade, plunging the surroundings into pitch darkness.

"...... Fine." Miss An took it, tilted her head back, and gulped it all down. She was thirsty anyway, and after drinking every last drop, she handed the cup back to him.

Mother Chen looked up, met Xia Mengning's cold gaze, paused for a moment inwardly, and turned to walk out.

His mighty reputation was not inferior in the slightest to that of Emperor Tiancang. Back in the day, he was also one of the Ten Sovereign Lords, and his sovereign-level secret techniques naturally made countless people green with envy.

At the encampment of the Apocalypse Tank Regiment, after a night of bustling activity, the returning troops quietly began to recuperate, undisturbed by ripples.

"Splendid! This time, both my Heaven-Locking Robe and Haotian Sword can be upgraded!" Chu Yan said with a smile.

The reason Qi Xiao had not flown into a rage and launched a massive invasion was precisely because this battle forced him to re-evaluate the strength of the Su family. Otherwise, acting rashly would still result in taking a massive loss and suffering a disastrous fate.

Upon hearing Qiu Yong's words, Li Quan and Liang Yongbai instinctively stepped back a few paces, gazing at him with wary expressions.

"Young Master Cui possesses extraordinary literary talent and is renowned as the prodigy of Jizhou. Your esteemed name is like thunder to the ear, and Yudie truly admires you. My Lord of Nanjun has also long yearned for your presence!" Yudie said with a coy smile.

Right at this moment, as the instigator of it all, Chu Yan experienced a transformation within his Heart of Taboo after several days of refinement.

Seizing the exact moment, Second Grandpa hurled his rifle like a javelin, driving it viciously straight down the throat of the man-eating crocodile. The crocodile clamped down and swallowed it right as Second Grandpa yanked a cord, causing the rifle to detonate inside the creature's throat.

This time, a neighborhood in the eastern suburbs of Mutu City was randomly selected. Enemy activity was detected one kilometer away, and the two sides immediately engaged in battle.

Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward Zhang Yi. At the same time, a peculiar gleam flickered in everyone's eyes.

As the golden light continued to intensify, Lin Yi felt his body growing increasingly robust. After slowly absorbing all the golden light in the immortal cave into his body, Lin Yi knew he was not far from achieving the Immortal Body.

The moment the door swung open, a piercing glare of white light stabbed into A Zhi's eyes, the burning pain so intense that he could not even keep his eyes open.
