Tang Rao took a deep breath, then squatted down, and once again pulled out the barbecue grill and firewood from his Space Token, busily starting a fire all by himself and then skewering meat as if he hadn't sensed the Dark Demon Leopard behind him.

The aroma of the meat slowly drifted out, and the burning firewood crackled.

Right after that, Tang Rao also took out a jar of wine, setting it to the side.

The scent of wine mingling with the fragrance of meat was immensely tempting.

In the area untouched by the fire's glow, the Dark Demon Leopard slowly emerged, its deep, black eyes fixing on Tang Rao.

"Ah?! Lord Dark Demon, how did you get here?" As soon as Tang Rao saw the Dark Demon Leopard, he immediately acted shocked, standing up straight from the ground with a somewhat frightened expression.

"Didn't you just barbecue some meat? Why are you doing it again?" The consciousness of the Dark Demon Leopard transmitted.

Tang Rao had a somewhat conflicted expression.

"Uh... Lord Dark Demon, you ate all the barbecue just now, and I didn't get much, so I was thinking of finding a place to eat a bit more for myself." Tang Rao slightly lowered his head.

The Dark Demon Leopard was slightly astonished, perhaps not having expected Tang Rao to come up with such a reason.

But thinking about it, it seemed that indeed all the barbecued meat had been eaten by it.

"This meat, upon reflection, is just ordinary." The Dark Demon Leopard laid down, giving Tang Rao a cold look.

"Lord Dark Demon doesn't know, but those were the most common types of meat. If there's meat from a higher-class beast, the taste would definitely be out of this world."

"Oh? Does it really depend on the type of meat?"

"Of course, not to hide it from Lord Dark Demon, I've discovered some things in these caves. Look there, that's the corpse of a Spiritual Beast. If its meat is barbecued, the fragrance would be so heavenly that it would waft for miles." Tang Rao pointed to a Spiritual Beast corpse nearby.

The Spiritual Beast corpse was not large, roughly half the size of the Dark Demon Leopard, unattractive, entirely blackish, and hairless. If one really had to describe it, it looked like a short version of a snake.

And the Golden Core energy was emanating from this Spiritual Beast's body.

"Are you sure?" The Dark Demon Leopard seemed somewhat doubtful.

"I swear on my life." Tang Rao raised his hands.

The pitch-black eyes of the Dark Demon Leopard swiveled, and it stood up, walking over to the Spiritual Beast corpse, then abruptly thrust a claw into the corpse's abdomen, pulling out a pearl emitting a faint light: a Golden Core!

"Try barbecuing it." After taking the Golden Core, the Dark Demon Leopard tossed the corpse to Tang Rao.

"Hehehe, what a treat." Tang Rao smiled broadly, acting as if he hadn't seen the Dark Demon Leopard's actions of taking the Golden Core at all.

Then, Tang Rao took out a skinning knife, struggling to make a cut in the skin of the Spiritual Beast.

Next, he directly reached into the cut, pulled out the inner organs, and cleaned them with clear water.

The Dark Demon Leopard did not notice that when Tang Rao was dealing with the internal organs, the Space Token suddenly lit up, and something from within the body of the Spiritual Beast was tucked into the Space Token by Tang Rao.

Soon after, Tang Rao propped up the whole Spiritual Beast to roast.

"Lord Dark Demon, you can rest for a few hours now. By the time you have rested well, the meat will be ready," Tang Rao said with a smile, appearing utterly sycophantic.

The Dark Demon Leopard nodded. It had been fighting with this Spiritual Beast earlier, using up a considerable amount of strength.

Otherwise, those birds would not have been able to come close to this range of mountains; they would have all been killed long ago.

For the first two hours, Tang Rao was diligently barbecuing the Spiritual Beast, also constantly keeping an eye on the Dark Demon Leopard.

After two hours, Tang Rao took out something he had snatched from the body of the Spiritual Beast from the Space Token.

It was a pouch, the size of a fist, radiating an eerie green.

A Poison Sack!

Tang Rao hadn't expected at all, that whatever he thought of would come to him; he had just been thinking of acquiring a Golden Core Stage Spiritual Beast's Poison Sack, and now it was in his hands.

The Golden Core Stage Spiritual Beast that had been killed by the Dark Demon Leopard happened to be a Poisonous Spirit Beast.

And the Dark Demon Leopard, having clearly only seen the importance of the Golden Core, hadn't paid any attention to the Poison Sack.

Tang Rao didn't know when the Dark Demon Leopard would make its move, so he could only finish making the Poison Spirit Pill as quickly as possible.

Having the Poison Spirit Pill in hand was his only slim chance of survival.

...

It seemed that there was no distinction between day and night here, always shrouded in a constant pale whiteness.

Five hours later, the sky was still white, without any change.

"Huff..." Standing up in a certain cave in the mountains, Ying XianDa stretched leisurely, his spirit almost fully recovered.

As for his injuries, they had also mostly healed.

"Hm? What is this smell? The aroma of meat?" Ying XianDa suddenly sniffed and was somewhat surprised.

"Such a rich fragrance, and such a dense dispersal of Spiritual Energy. Is someone grilling spiritual beast meat? At the very least, a spiritual beast of the Fusion Stage!" Ying XianDa muttered to himself, then immediately after, his face lit up with joy.

At least, this meant there was someone nearby.

After all this time, he had finally encountered someone.

"Let's go!" Ying XianDa shouted, rushing out of the cave, following the tantalizing scent all the way.

Not more than fifteen minutes later, Ying XianDa came upon a gentle slope, and above the slope was a deep cave.

Outside the cave, there was a person sitting, holding a piece of meat in his hands, with a jug of wine by his side.

Munching on the meat, sipping from the wine.

Tang Rao!

After seeing the person's face clearly, Ying XianDa's heart surged with excitement, he had never imagined he'd run into Tang Rao here.

It was too much of a coincidence! Indeed, too much of a coincidence!

Tang Rao, heaven is not letting you off!

Ying XianDa's heart throbbed uncontrollably, feeling as if after searching through the crowd a thousand times, in a sudden glance back, they found the man standing in the dim light.

"Tang Rao!!!" Ying XianDa couldn't contain himself and let out a furious roar.

Upon the gentle slope, Tang Rao was slightly startled, blinked twice, put down the spiritual beast meat from his hands, and with a face full of surprise, looked toward Ying XianDa below.

Damn, we can actually run into each other like this?

It seems, heaven is indeed quite generous to both of us.

"Today, will be your death day!" A murderous intent burst from Ying XianDa's eyes.

He had absolute confidence that he could take down Tang Rao.

After all, he was a late-stage Fusion Cultivator!

"Ying XianDa, I think... you better just leave." Tang Rao said to Ying XianDa, sincerely, he truly meant it.

But obviously, Ying XianDa did not accept Tang Rao's good intentions.

"Ha ha ha, Tang Rao, are you scared?! Meeting me here is your bad luck! Without Meng Jiuxuan, without the Lord of Frost, I'd like to see how you strut!" Ying XianDa roared loudly.

"Really, you… hurry up and leave, I mean it." Tang Rao waved his hand earnestly, looking very serious.

"Die!" A long spear suddenly appeared in Ying XianDa's hand, his Spiritual Energy violently erupted.

"Ah..." Seeing Ying XianDa unleash his Spiritual Energy, Tang Rao shook his head helplessly.

Ying XianDa, you're insisting on courting death, I've already warned you, but you wouldn't listen...

Releasing Spiritual Energy would surely disturb the Dark Demon Leopard in the cave.

Disturbing the Dark Demon Leopard's rest, I don't know how many seconds you can hold on, but I do know, you will surely die a very miserable death.

"Roar!!" And just at this moment, a fierce roar came from the cave, filled with anger and savagery!
