Chapter 1340: Chapter 1339: Encounter with the Wild Dog Again
Ouyang Ting looked at the bunny meat in Ling Fengâs hand with some reluctance and said with a grin, "Brother, how about we discuss something?"
Seeing Ouyang Tingâs wolf-like gaze, Ling Feng cautiously replied, "What do you want to do?"
"Well... one piece of bunny meat is definitely not enough, why donât you give me yours too." Ouyang Ting chuckled, "As they say, when helping someone, help them all the way!"
Ling Feng looked at this young expert with slight disdain. Even though he was at the Sea of Gods Realm, Ling Feng wouldnât yield because of this.
"If you want to eat, cook it yourself!" Ling Feng said crossly, "Youâve already taken one piece of my bunny meat, do you want to take a second one?"
Ouyang Ting chuckled, sitting beside Ling Feng, savoring the increasingly aromatic roasted bunny meat, and said, "What do you mean by taking? Our chance encounter is fate, and youâre so stingy about me eating one piece of your bunny meat. I... I wonât eat yours for free!"
As he spoke, Ouyang Ting flipped his hand, and a jar of fragrant wine appeared: "Meat without wine is quite dull, isnât it? How about I eat your meat, and you drink my wine?"
Ling Feng sniffed the aroma of the wine and found it richer and the Vital Energy more abundant than Yan Feishuangâs Royal Spirit Wine.
"Alright, deal!" Ling Feng clapped his hands.
Soon, there were seven or eight roasting racks by the fire, each holding a skinned rabbit.
"By the way, brother, my name is Ouyang Ting, and I donât know yours!" Ouyang Ting curiously asked, "Why would you appear here in the Heavenly Punishment Forest?"
Heavenly Punishment Forest? Ling Fengâs eyes narrowed. He knew of the Heavenly Punishment Forest from the records, as it was the top of the Ten Great Forbidden Lands of the Divine Realmâno wonder there were Monster Beasts of the Sea of Gods Realm everywhere here!
"Iâm Ling Feng!" Ling Feng said rather helplessly, "Would you believe if I said I wandered in here by mistake?"
"Of course I believe!" Ouyang Ting shrugged and said, "With your God Realm cultivation, you dare enter the Heavenly Punishment Forest. Itâs fortunate you didnât encounter Monster Beasts of the Sea of Gods Realm!"
As he spoke, Ouyang Tingâs face showed a bit of resentment. He was still a bit annoyed by the actions of the wild dog earlier.
"I wonder why Brother Ouyang entered the Heavenly Punishment Forest?" Ling Feng drank a sip of Ouyang Tingâs wine, feeling a surge of heat from his Dantian, making his True Qi flow a bit faster.
Ouyang Ting sighed and said, "Itâs a long story. Anyway, I have to stay in the Heavenly Punishment Forest for a full month, but Ling Feng, itâs best you leave here soon; this is just the outskirts. They say deeper in, there are celestial beasts of the Azure Sky Realm. Even if itâs not a celestial beast, a monster beast of the Sea of Gods Realm is not something you can handle right now!"
Ling Feng nodded; Ouyang Tingâs words carried a hint of goodwill, catching Ling Feng by surprise.
The two conversed for a while longer, but neither probed into the otherâs identity, only discussing their own experiences.
Even so, Ling Feng could deduce Ouyang Tingâs identity was certainly extraordinary; from his speech and mannerisms to his cultivation, it was evident he was a scion of a noble family. However, with Ling Fengâs knowledge, he was unaware of the prominence of the Ouyang Family in the Divine Court.
At this moment, Ling Feng reached out beside him but grasped empty air.
The skewer of roasted meat that had been beside him had vanished.
Ling Feng clearly remembered that while chatting with Ouyang Ting, the skewer of roasted bunny meat was still there. So, in a moment of carelessness, his roasted meat disappeared?
"Brother Ouyang, did you notice anything strange around here?" Ling Feng whispered.
Ouyang Tingâs brow furrowed slightly: "Speaking of strange... did you take my roast meat? Ling Feng, thatâs not fair of you..."
Ling Fengâs expression changed: "Your roast meat is also gone?"
"What do you mean? Yours too..." Ouyang Ting wasnât a fool; he naturally understood Ling Fengâs meaning.
"But... I didnât sense anyone elseâs presence there!" Ouyang Ting said, puzzled. "Could it be thereâs someone beyond the Sea of Gods Realm around us... wouldnât that be someone of the Azure Sky Realm?"
At this point, Ouyang Tingâs face turned unpleasant.
He hadnât ventured deep because he knew there were Azure Sky Realm monster beasts deeper in the Heavenly Punishment Forest. He hadnât expected there to be experts of the Azure Sky Realm in the outskirts.
"It doesnât necessarily have to be an expert of the Azure Sky Realm!" Ling Feng said gravely, "I think itâs more likely... a type of monster beast that can conceal its presence. If it were truly an expert of the Azure Sky Realm, why would it be sneaky like this?"
đłđżđđđđČđđ»đđđđ„.đđ đ
Ouyang Tingâs eyes lit up, "Right, that makes sense. It really startled me earlier; if I found out what it was..."
Before finishing his sentence, Ling Feng and Ouyang Ting spotted a sneaky wild dog creeping out from the side.
"Why is this dog following us? It didnât get killed?" Ling Feng was a bit surprised; he had underestimated the dogâs vitality.
"Youâre the pesky dog!" To Ling Fengâs surprise, Ouyang Ting exploded next to him.
It was just this pesky dog that led him into a fight with that giant lizard. If the giant lizard hadnât been gravely injured, he might truly have perished.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Ting couldnât suppress his anger.
"Prepare to die, pesky dog!" Ouyang Ting said, his body turning into lightning, charging towards the wild dog.
The wild dog was startled and turned around to flee.
"Wild dog, if youâve got guts, donât run!" Ouyang Ting missed his strike, saw the wild dog escape, and yelled as he chased after it.
"Brother Ouyang, be careful..." Before Ling Feng could finish, Ouyang Ting had already vanished into the forest chasing the wild dog.
Ling Feng shrugged and sat back down to continue roasting meat, though he was now very interested in the wild dog.
Even though he didnât know the breed of the dog, being able to ignore the cold of a deep pool, bite off the Seven-Color Ghost Lotus, and escape from the pursuit of Sea of Gods Realm monster beastsâanyone could tell this dog was extraordinary.
Moreover, the dog had swiped two pieces of roast meat right under his and Ouyang Tingâs noses!
"If Iâm not mistaken, Ouyang Ting might not be able to deal with that wild dog!" Ling Feng sighed, took a bite of roast meat, drank a sip of the wine, and showed a satisfied expression; the roast and wine were truly a perfect pairing.
"Awooo!" Ling Feng noticed a flash before him; the wild dog unexpectedly stood in front of him, showing a plaintive expression.
