Chapter 9: Tom
Before dawn, the black beetle burrowed almost entirely into the rotting leaf layer and disappeared without a trace.
The black beetles within five meters of the kitten were not so lucky, they were still trembling, and they didn't even have the strength to escape, as if the fierce species that surrounded Tang Chen last night had nothing to do with them. The kitten used its front paws to flick the black beetle around it at will, and the black beetle that it had dialed never moved again, as if it was scared to death!
Tang Chen was dumbfounded.
There are only two reasons to explain the current situation.
Either the kitten is the natural enemy of the black beetle, or it is the absolute suppression of the rank!
Tang Chen didn't know the black beetle, but the strength and aggression shown by the black beetle, the grade must not be low, if they didn't dare to move because they were absolutely suppressed by the kitten, how high was the rank of the kitten?
The kitten raised one of its front paws and landed on the back of a dead black beetle, and the carapace that Tang Chen couldn't pry open with a knife was easily scratched by it, revealing the golden flesh inside. The kitten took advantage of the situation and flicked it with its little paws, and the beetle that had broken its shell rolled accurately in front of Tang Chen.
"Well done, hero!"
Tang Chen grabbed the black beetle that rolled over, used a knife to quickly pick out the meat in the shell, and threw it on the dinner plate next to him. The black beetle is the size of a fist, but the meat that can be eaten is on the back, a black beetle can only pick out two pieces of meat the size of a fingernail, fortunately, the number of black beetles scared to death by kittens last night is very large, one person and one cat work together, and the dinner plate is almost full.
"Meow!"
The cat responded, raising its tail triumphantly as it kicked a beetle with a broken shell.
"Today we will change the way we eat, boiled. ”
"Meow meow!" The kitten can understand human speech, but it can be expected to have a normal conversation with Tang Chen, obviously it is difficult for a strong cat, so the fish is unwise and agrees with it, calling once to agree, and calling twice to object.
"Against? Eating too much barbecue is not good for your health, at a young age, don't have such a heavy taste!"
"Meow!"
"This place is a desperate valley, and I don't know how long it will take to find my way out, and I don't have much spice with me. Now that I've used up the barbecue ingredients, what should I do if I want to eat it in the future!"
Tang Chen was in a rather unhappy mood, not because of the kitten, after dawn, accompanied by the kitten, he spent half a day exploring the rest of the road, basically sure that this was a desperate valley surrounded by peaks, Tang Chen naturally couldn't be happy.
"Meow!"
The kitten tilted her head and thought for a moment, and was convinced.
"I don't know how long I'll be here, so I'll give you a name. ”
"Meow!"
The boy remembered an animated character, the hapless cat, who brought countless joys to his childhood.
"Your name is Tom. ”
"Meow!" the kitten didn't care, and lazily responded.
"I knew you'd agree. Tom!"
"Meow!"
"Tom!"
"Meow!" Little Tom stopped and looked at Tang Chen in confusion, it didn't understand how Tang Chen could be so happy that he rolled on the ground with joy. From Tom's point of view, Tang Chen's tumbling seemed muddy, neither agile nor beautiful, and he almost touched a plate full of beetle meat, which made little Tom worried.
Boiled beetle meat, Tang Chen specially prepared some dipping water.
The beetle meat is also quite delicious to dip in, at least little Tom is very satisfied, it has lived in the valley for so long, it has been living by eating black beetles, no matter how Tang Chen cooks it, the taste is much stronger than eating it raw. Since then, the kitten has never raised any objections to Tang Chen's food cooking method.
What satisfied Little Tom even more was Tang Chen's care for him.
Dipping and eating, this action is too difficult for the kitten, and it almost knocked over the dipping dish on the first attempt, and it was Tang Chen who helped it complete this step and put the boiled beetle meat dipped in it on its plate.
Little Tom understood this as kindness, what it didn't know was that Tang Chen mainly didn't want to waste the seasoning......
Tang Chen discovered that the black beetle meat contained rich spiritual power.
He didn't deliberately stimulate the spiritual power in the flesh, but after eating the meat, the spiritual power in his body was overflowing and swollen, and he had to meditate and pranayama, and after meditating, he found that the spiritual power in his body increased even more than three days of meditation. Tang Chen, who had studied the knowledge of food refining, immediately realized how precious such an ingredient was. If it is put outside, such a good ingredient as black beetle meat will make all refiners excited.
Tang Chen loves food and life, he is unwilling to devote his precious time to cultivation, in his opinion, it is a complete waste of limited life, and life will lose its luster from then on. Although he had been preaching that cultivation was useless, in fact, Tang Chen was still very envious of the long life of a high-ranking cultivator, and he had dreamed more than once that it would be a wonderful thing if eating spiritual food could quickly improve his cultivation.
If you are promoted, you will live longer.
Live longer, eat more!
Eat more!
Eating delicious food while growing his cultivation is Tang Chen's dream.
He doesn't think it's nonsense.
Isn't it true that the refiner is preparing spiritual food just to speed up cultivation?
The black beetle meat is rich in spiritual power, which is of great help to improve Tang Chen's cultivation. In the past, Tang Chen might have been happy for a while at the aura effect of the black beetle meat, but now, being trapped in the Desperate Valley really made him unhappy, and being trapped here for one more day meant being cut off from the food of the outside world for one more day.
The loss is so big......
After eating, Tang Chen, who did not give up, searched for a way out along the cliffs of the valley again.
Having already walked around a circle, and there was no threat from any fierce beasts in the valley during the day, Tang Chen used the Flowing Wind Technique, and the speed was much faster than when he first explored. The kitten sat on Tang Chen's shoulder, squinting its eyes and dozing off, no matter how fast Tang Chen was, it could sit firmly.
After two rounds of searching, Tang Chen's face became more and more ugly.
He searched very carefully, and there were many plants climbing on the mountain wall, most of them with developed vines, some like creepers, and some with large and small gourds. Tang Chen specially found a tree stick, and when he saw the place where the vine leaves were luxuriant, he used the stick to pick or poke it to see if there were any mountain crevices or caves hidden by plants.
To his disappointment, nothing was discovered.
There is no road!
He doesn't want to be stuck here, he's going to get out!
There are many delicacies waiting for my brother to taste outside, how can he waste time here?
Standing in front of the mountain wall and looking up, the wall stands with a thousand blades, and the cliff is cut off by clouds and mist, and you can't see the end of the mountain peak.
Under the clouds, the height of the mountain peak is close to a kilometer, and I don't know how much geometry there is above.
The whole valley is as good as that.
Tang Chen had commented that even if the total height of the mountain peak was only a kilometer, the chance that he would be able to climb it was very small. The cultivation is too low to fly, there are no professional climbing tools in hand, and you can only rely on simple tools to climb, and it is impossible to complete it at a kilometer altitude. If it is the same cultivation as a body cultivation cultivator, the probability of climbing out may be slightly greater, but it is not much bigger, if Tang Chen's chance of climbing out of the valley is one in a thousand, the physical cultivation is about five in a thousand.
Tang Chen was now extremely hopeful that he would have a magic weapon for flying or climbing.
He still remembers a few advertising words.
