"Do you think steaming, braising, or grilling would be tastier?" Lin Qing said casually.
"Senior, no! I don't taste good. My flesh is bitter. The Vermilion Bird and the Vermilion Yan are delicacies in the world. Although I am also one of the Four Fiends, I really don't taste good."
"By the way, my blood is delicious. If you spare my life, I am willing to be your mount and let you taste my blood every day."
The Sky-Devouring Sparrow didn't want to die, so it could only beg for mercy. In order to live, it disregarded everything else.
"My God, that's the Sky-Devouring Sparrow, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts! Venerable One, such a person has actually become food."
"That's good. Who told this ferocious beast to try and devour my tribe?"
"Thank you, God, for saving us!"
"Thank you for your great grace, God!"
Immediately, all the tribesmen knelt down and prayed to Lin Qing in gratitude.
"You can die in peace now. Don't worry, I'll steam some of you, deep-fry some, braise some, and grill some. I'll try every method on you."
After Lin Qing finished speaking, his divine power transformed into a giant hand, which directly tore off the head of the Devouring Sky Sparrow. Instantly, a large amount of blood splattered onto the ground.
Lin Qing collected the corpse of the Devouring Sky Sparrow, looked at the giant creature with some unease, and then casually tossed it aside.
"The head of the Sky-Devouring Sparrow is yours." Without saying more, he transformed into a golden light and disappeared into the horizon.
"Good, haha! The gods have actually bestowed upon us the head of the Sky-Devouring Sparrow. Quick, gather the men!" The clan leader laughed.
The tribe's spirit priest was especially excited, because he was a black sparrow, and with the head of the Sky-Devouring Sparrow, his evolution was now guaranteed.
Because of the head and precious blood of the Sky-Devouring Sparrow, decades later this tribe will become increasingly prosperous, with many powerful figures emerging, and its fame will resound throughout the surrounding hundreds of thousands of miles.
It was also because the gods had spoken and bestowed this upon their tribe that the surrounding giant cities and tribes dared not come to plunder them, since they dared not risk offending a god.
"Let Xiao Hong go, but as for Maoqiu, you're out of luck."
In just a few minutes, Lin Qing caught up with Mao Qiu, and then, to Mao Qiu's horrified gaze, Lin Qing slapped him so hard that he was seriously injured and passed out.
Lin Qing caught the fur ball, fiddled with it for a while, and it transformed into the same shape as when he first met the little guy. Lin Qing even sealed away the memories in his mind.
Immediately, Lin Qing carried the fur ball to the location of Shi Village after the migration and threw the fur ball into a large lake nearby.
Chapter 571 The Imperial Capital of the Stone Kingdom
"With my dragon blood, Willow God shouldn't be asleep anymore!" Lin Qing muttered to himself.
With a flash, Lin Qing appeared outside Stone Village.
Because Lin Qing suppressed the four ferocious beasts, the giant tortoise also broke through the sky and left. Liu Shen did not wait in the void, but directly moved the village.
"Willow God, I've got the Mountain Treasure. Here you go." Lin Qing stood under the Willow God tree and handed the Mountain Treasure to the Willow God.
"Whoosh!" A branch quickly curled up the mountain treasure and then disappeared into the soil.
"Hmm." Liu Shen didn't say much, just responded.
Lin Qing said, "Okay, I have to go now. I have some things to take care of. I'll come back to visit when I have time."
"By the way, give the Qiongqi meat, the Devouring Sky Sparrow meat, and these drinks to the villagers. I won't see them again."
Lin Qing took out a large pile of snacks and drinks and placed them by the tree. Then he took out a piece of Qiongqi meat that was several hundred meters long and a small bottle of the meat of the Devouring Sky Sparrow, as well as their precious blood.
“Okay, I will pass it on to them,” Liu Shen said.
Lin Qing nodded, then glanced at the little one eating in the stone house, and with a flash, disappeared into the stone village.
The moment Lin Qing disappeared, the villagers saw the large pile of snacks and drinks that had suddenly appeared under the willow tree, just like the rest of the villagers.
Of course, what shocked them the most were the two pieces of ferocious beast meat that were shimmering with divine light. Clearly, Lin Qing had come in stealth mode earlier.
After spending some time, Lin Qing found Hu Xiaoxue, who was still capturing ferocious beasts. The girl was indeed very dedicated.
The dozens of new storage bags are already one-third full.
"Xiaoxue, there's no need to catch any more. Ordinary ferocious beasts are enough." Lin Qingfei looked down at Xiaoxue with a smile from mid-air.
"Ah, young master, alright." Xiaoxue immediately released the hundreds of ferocious beasts that had been trapped, and then flew to Lin Qing's side.
Lin Qing asked, "How many ancient remnants were captured this time?"
Hu Xiaoxue smiled as if showing off a treasure: "Young master, this time we had a great harvest. We caught eight ancient species. We originally caught more than a dozen, but several of them were humanoid, so we released them after extracting their essence and blood."
"Hmm, not bad, well done." Lin Qing ruffled Xiaoxue's hair and praised her.
Xiaoxue seemed to enjoy it very much: "Hehe, thank you for the compliment, young master."
Suddenly, Lin Qing removed Xiaoxue's mask and said softly, "You don't need to wear the mask anymore. It's more pleasing to the eye to look at someone with such a beautiful face."
Her eyes were shimmering like rosy clouds, dreamlike and ethereal; her nose was delicate and straight; her lips were red and moist; her teeth were pearly white; she looked like a celestial fairy.
Xiaoxue blushed instantly, her heart pounding, unsure of what to say.
"Haha, let's explore the wilderness. We'll need to stock up on plenty of ingredients." Lin Qing said to Xiao Xue.
Instantly, the Little White Flying Star flew out of her body and then grew to a size of several thousand meters in the air.
With a thought, Lin Qing sent a golden beam of light to envelop the two of them, bringing them back to the Little White.
Welcome back, Captain and First Lieutenant!
"Long time no see, Xiao Jin," Lin Qing greeted him and jumped onto the sofa.
haven't seen you for a long time.
Lin Qing took out his phone and said, "Xiao Jin, go to Xiling Beast Mountain." (Miaobige Novel)
Captain, please enter the target location.
"Uh, I don't know. Never mind, let's go to the capital of the Stone Kingdom first. I've sent you the address." With a thought, Lin Qing sent the address of the Stone Kingdom to Xiao Jin.
The target location has been determined and we will arrive within fifteen minutes.
"Wait, don't rush. Take three days, Xiaoxue. Observe along the way and capture any different kinds of ferocious beasts you encounter."
"Especially ancient remnants and the like," Lin Qing instructed.
Speed adjustment complete, we will arrive at the capital of the Stone Kingdom in three days.
"Yes, young master." Xiaoxue smiled and then went to the control room.
The teleportation channel can transport living things outside the warship to any location on the Little White Ship, and Xiaoxue set the location in the main control room.
As soon as they teleported up, she would kill them and put them into her storage bag. Of course, she still had to keep an eye on the ground and the sky at all times.
Three days later.
Lin Qing and Xiao Xue arrived outside a city.
It was a colossal city, magnificent beyond compare, built from piece after piece of jasper. Its imposing city walls resembled a mountain range, and its towering city towers stood like a celestial palace, stretching across the land with an awe-inspiring presence.
The city has a large population and a large garrison. The city is covered with endless runes, like stars spinning and shining, and it exudes a special aura.
Behind the towering battlements, squads of soldiers patrolled, disciplined and impeccably dressed. Their armor gleamed, their weapons sharp and gleaming with a cold metallic sheen, and a palpable aura of killing intent permeated the air.
This is the ancient capital, naturally filled with elite troops, led by powerful generals, guarding the great city. This place is impregnable, especially after the city's array patterns are activated, the entire city will be shrouded in runes, making it difficult to conquer.
"The capital of the Stone Kingdom is truly magnificent." Xiaoxue stood beneath the giant city, looking up at it.
"It is quite big." Lin Qing nodded, and then led Xiao Xue through the city gate.
"Young Master, what are we doing now?" Xiaoxue followed obediently behind Lin Qing.
Because Lin Qing had removed Xiaoxue's mask, her celestial beauty was seen by the surrounding crowd.
The men stared wide-eyed at Xiaoxue like animals, their gazes defiling her. Even the women were no exception, captivated by her unparalleled beauty.
"Let's go to the largest restaurant in the capital first and try the food of the Stone Kingdom. As for the location of Xiling Beast Mountain, we can just ask any prince or nobleman later."
“Yes, young master,” Xiaoxue replied.
Although it was Lin Qing's first time in the capital, he led Xiao Xue to a very upscale restaurant, Yu Xuan Lou, with ease.
Yuxuan Tower has three floors. Anyone can enter the main hall, while the second floor is frequented by scions of prominent families.
As for the third level, only the sons of kings and nobles can enter; the real kings, nobles, and clan leaders are basically impossible to come here.
If you want to eat, just ask the chef at Yuxuanlou to come to your door; they don't have the time to come here to eat.
Because the view from the third floor was better, with a view of the distant lake, Lin Qing led Xiao Xue to the third floor.
The people in Yuxuan Tower saw Lin Qing and Hu Xiaoxue and immediately recognized them as important figures. They didn't even try to stop them, and the manager personally led them to a private room.
After Lin Qing and his companion ordered their food, the manager left the private room. Just as he was about to go downstairs, a voice rang out.
"You, come here!"
Chapter 572 Showing Off One's Skill Before an Expert
"You, come here." The door to a private room opened, and an old servant pointed at the steward arrogantly.
The manager stiffened, then walked into the private room with a smile.
Half an hour later, a table full of dishes was served, including various rare birds and animals, exotic flowers and fruits, all prepared using special cooking methods.
The entire private room was filled with all sorts of aromas, making one's mouth water.
"Young master, this Silver Scale Soup is our Yuxuan Restaurant's signature dish. Please enjoy it," the steward said respectfully.
"You can go now!" Hu Xiaoxue was interrupted by Lin Qing before she could finish speaking.
The manager bowed and left the private room.
Hu Xiaoxue asked with some confusion, "Young master, why won't you let me?"
"Hehe, it's nothing. This little bit is like drinking water. We'll settle the score with them after we finish eating." Lin Qing said, as he poured a bowl of silver scale soup with added ingredients.
"It's really good, very delicious. The topping didn't ruin the flavor at all; it even seems to have added to the umami."
"Let's make more of this seasoning later!" Lin Qing said softly.
"Really? I'll try some too." Hu Xiaoxue also ladled out a bowl of soup, her cherry lips slightly parted, her rosy lower lip imprinted on the rim of the ceramic bowl.
