Chapter 55: Mountain Beast Roar
Chapter 55: The roar of mountain beasts
@@@@First update, please collect, recommend, reward, and all support!!!!
Nie Fan stood by the cauldron, watching the meat in the pot being penetrated and submerged bit by bit by the boiling spiritual liquid. Stirring it from time to time, the refreshing aroma became stronger and wafted out.
The beasts and ferocious birds outside have become restless, and some of them even let out low roars, as if to express their eagerness.
After almost half an hour, Nie Fan fished out a piece of meat, looked at it, and poured some soup into it. When he felt it was almost ready, he extinguished the fire under the cauldron and walked outside with the cauldron in his arms.
Roar~, chirp~
Upon seeing Nie Fan's movements, all the beasts and giant birds roared lowly, their eyes flashing with an eerie light in the darkening night.
Nie Fan placed the cauldron on the flat ground outside the cave. Immediately, the aroma filled the cauldron and continued to spread around. Some animals and birds finally couldn't help but approach, but none of them came within ten steps of Nie Fan.
They formed a circle and looked at the tripod and Nie Fan with eager eyes and green light.
Nie Fan looked at the group of beasts that never entered, fished out a liver-like piece of meat from the cauldron, and looked at the eagle that brought the wild boar.
The eagle immediately understood what Nie Fan meant, flapped its wings and flew down from the branch, watching Nie Fan chirp and land on the four-legged tripod.
Nie Fan put the piece of red meat, which he didn't know whether it was liver or heart, to the eagle's mouth. The eagle immediately opened its mouth, as fast as lightning, and with just one peck, it swallowed a wild boar's liver.
The eagle raised its neck and ate the liver, then raised its head and looked at Nie Fan quietly.
Nie Fan naturally knew what it meant, but he did not continue to fish for it. He stirred the cauldron and said in a moderate voice: "One is enough."
The eagle's eyes were filled with green light, and it raised its head slightly, as if to tell Nie Fan that it could eat again.
Nie Fan remained calm and looked at it without making a sound.
The eagle also looked at it like this, standing on the tripod, its feathers were clean and smooth, its neck stretched out, looking quite like a majestic general.
None of the surrounding beasts made a sound. They looked at the confrontation between one person and one beast, with very humanistic and doubtful expressions in their eyes.
Not long after, the originally majestic eagle suddenly emitted white air from its mouth, its whole body began to stir, and the feathers all over its body gradually became wet.
Chirp~
Soon, the eagle couldn't stand it anymore, so it called out to Nie Fan, flapped its wings and was about to fly away.
Nie Fan nodded and said: "Fly for a while longer and then find a place to sleep."
Chirp~
The eagle screamed again, as if it understood what Nie Fan meant, it flapped its wings and took off, disappearing in the darkening sky in an instant, but its clear and urgent cry could still be heard in the distance.
.
"It's your turn." Nie Fan looked at the dozens of strange beasts in front of him and fished out a piece of meat.
As soon as Nie Fan finished speaking, an otter-like beast that was three or four times as big as Nie Fan and looked quite ferocious ran towards Nie Fan quickly.
Nie Fan threw his hand and a piece of meat flew over. It opened its mouth and swallowed it directly.
Based on the previous experience with the eagle, Nie Fan knew that wild beasts had the habit of eating until they were full. He did not look at it, but looked directly at the next beast that looked like a wolf and a dog, and threw a wild boar leg bone at it.
When it saw it, it immediately jumped up, picked it up, turned around and ran away, hiding somewhere to gnaw on the bones.
Then Nie Fan threw another piece of meat out and was caught in the mouth of the beast that always looked like an ape. It climbed up the tree in twos and twos and started eating by itself.
Nie Fan didn't care about anything else and fished out the meat from the cauldron piece by piece and distributed it to the beasts in front of him.
But before he finished dividing the food, the otter that was still sitting there eagerly and refused to move suddenly started to fidget and walk around in place, snorting white air from its nose, shaking its body and snoring.
Then, the wolfdog that ran away from nowhere also ran back, with its tongue hanging out, gasping for air, and its hair sticking to its body, as if it had just jumped out of the water.
The ape kept jumping on the tree, then pulled the branches with its two arms and kept flipping between the trees. When it stopped, it screamed for fear of hitting its chest, and then continued to jump.
Nie Fan ignored them, clapped his hands, divided all the meat in the cauldron, and then turned back to the cave.
Not long after, various roars resounded in the originally quiet mountain forest. They continued to echo and reverberate in the mountain forest. Listening from a distance, it sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Nie Fan looked outside the cave. There were people flapping their wings in the sky, jumping around on the trees, running back and forth on the ground, fluttering in the water, bumping into trees, and leaning against rocks.
The digger kept his expression motionless, took a deep breath, and looked at the three-legged cauldron in front of him.
After adjusting Ling Ye, Nie Fan drank it in one breath, placed the Seven Kills Sword at the door, and then he meditated while holding his breath.
"Professor, what are these sounds?" In a flat place under Nie Fan Peak, Hao Yanmei, who had just set up her tent, listened to the strange sounds coming from the mountain, and couldn't help but nervously looked at the professor not far ahead and said
.
The professor fixed a rope and looked up towards the mountain. He frowned and said, "I can't tell the difference either. I didn't hear these sounds last time I came here."
Guo Hanxiang, Zhao Hecheng, and Ning Xue also stood together and looked towards the mountain. They heard the roar echoing in the mountain, accompanied by the cold wind, which became more and more shrill, which made their hair stand on end and made them feel worried.
"It's the smell of medicinal liquid." Suddenly, Ning Xue frowned slightly and said.
"Medicinal solution, what medicinal solution?" The professor turned back and looked at Ning Xuedao.
"It is a liquid made by mixing various Chinese herbal medicines, stirring and cooking." Ning Xue answered the professor softly, looking at the dark mountain with doubts in her eyes. She was familiar with various Chinese herbal medicines and could tell from the smell of the liquid.
She could tell which herbs were used, but the smell made it impossible for her to determine what ingredients were in it!
Could it be that there are masters of Chinese medicine on the mountain? Ning Xue secretly guessed.
The professor looked at Ning Xue with a slightly strange expression. No matter how he sniffed, he couldn't smell any peculiar smell.
"Then, is it safe for us to sleep here at night?" Guo Hanxiang couldn't help but asked worriedly as he listened to the weird roars on the mountain getting louder.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately turned to look at him. This time, no one had any weird expressions on their faces, nor did they try to challenge him. Several people looked at each other with expressions of contemplation and worry.
It's okay not to know, but listening to the strange noises of various beasts in the mountains, none of the five people felt at ease.
"Let's keep watch," the professor glanced at a few people and said, "Han Xiang and I will keep watch in Hecheng for the first half of the night, and you can come in the second half of the night."
Zhao Hecheng glanced at Ning Xue, pushed up his glasses and said, "Okay."
Although Guo Hanxiang was nervous, he still pretended to be calm and said: "Okay."
"Then let's all go back to our tents. We'll continue going up the mountain tomorrow morning and we'll be fine if we find the entrance to the mountain." Seeing that several people looked a bit wrong, the professor said in an encouraging tone.
Zhao Hecheng and Hao Yanmei looked at each other and saw that the professor had turned around and entered the tent. Although they were anxious, they followed him into his tent.
Ning Xue smelled the increasingly rich aroma in the air, frowned again, and whispered with a slight flash of eyes: "What kind of prescription is this? Just smelling it makes me feel comfortable..."
