"Seventy meters!"
Nie Tian's eyes shone with a bright light as he sat there upright, trembling slightly with elation.
Not long ago, when they were searching for the Frost Python in the glacier area, the range of his psychic awareness was merely fifty meters.
That was the best he could achieve after several significant upgrades, as well as after exhausting his psychic power several times in a row.
Clearly, he didn't expect that after eating the Lurker Lizard meat and strengthening himself he would have such a significant improvement in psychic power.
"Good stuff! It's absolutely good stuff!"
As soon as he remembered that An Ying and others had diarrhea after having the Lurker Lizard meat, he couldn't help but start cheering in his heart.
The second grade spirit beast meat could not only speed up his cultivation, but it could also strengthen his fleshy body.
The strength of his fleshy body, on the other hand, could benefit his psychic power, enabling him to holistically increase his strength!
As of that moment, he suddenly felt much more excited about the Green Illusion dimension trial, as if the Ghost sect and the Blood sect weren't the terrifying entities he'd thought them to be.
As for the discussion between Jiang Lingzhu and An Ying, he had completely lost interest. All he wanted to do was consume all the Lurker Lizard meat as fast as possible.
"But the weather in the desert..."
Looking over towards the distant corpse of the Lurker Lizard, his brows furrowed as a question occurred to him.
The desert was different from the glacier area, where he was able to carry raw spirit beast meat on his back without any trouble.
Because of the cold weather there, spirit beast meat could remain fresh for a long time before it spoiled.
In the desert, however, it was burning hot. Without special processing, meat would rot fairly rapidly in a short time, making it inedible.
"From the look of it, I need to air-dry the meat. Only in this way will I be able to carry it with me and consume it over a longer period of time."
With these thoughts, he stood up and took a step towards the Lurker Lizard corpse.
Seeing him rise to his feet, Jiang Miao didn't think twice before hurrying to catch up. Curious, she asked, "Nie Tian, what do you want to do?"
"I'm going to make some Lurker Lizard jerky!" he answered.
"Let me help you!" said Jiang Miao.
Nie Tian was surprised. "Do you know how?"
"Nope." Jiang Miao replied honestly. "But you can teach me."
"I don't know how either," Nie Tian said, smiling wryly.
"Ahhh?!" Jiang Miao turned to look at Guo Qi who was sitting not far from them. "Eldest Brother Guo, do you know how to make jerky with spirit beast meat?"
"Sure," Guo Qi replied.
"We may not run into more spirit beasts in the desert, and we'll still need to eat," Jiang Miao said. "Since elder sister An Ying and those guys are in discussion, and we don't have much else to do, why don't we make jerky out of the spirit beast meat?" Said Jiang Miao.
"Okay, I'm in," Guo Qi said, nodding.
When they were in the glacier region, and the Ghost sect disciple had suddenly showed up wearing the Grayvale sect's clothes, Guo Qi had nearly been ambushed and killed. Thanks to Nie Tian's acute perception, and the immediate attack he launched upon the Ghost sect disciple, Guo Qi had narrowly escaped.
No matter how he used to think of Nie Tian, now that Nie Tian had saved his life, he nodded in consent, even though he wasn't completely willing.
"Very well!" Everyone chimed in with her.
"It's Yuan Feng!"
Soon, Yuan Feng and Yun Song appeared in the distant horizon.
At first glance, both of them seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and their tattered clothes were covered in bloodstains.
It was hard to tell whether those bloodstains were their own or from Ghost sect disciples.
Faces pale and eyes spiritless, they had completely lost their previously imposing aura.
As soon as they approached and saw the trial takers from the Cloudsoaring sect and the Spiritual Treasure sect, Yuan Feng's eyes glittered with the light of hope.
"Finally, we've found you!" Yun Song cried out loud. "We ran into Ghost sect disciples in the glacier area! Everybody was killed. My cousin and I are the only survivors!"
He was trembling with the excitement of a drowning person who had just caught sight of a rescue boat. "It's a good thing that you guys are here! Hurry. Let's go back to the glacier area and kill each and every one of them!"
An Ying cast a cold look towards Yuan Feng. "We've waited for you for a long time. Let's go. Don't waste our time. We're heading to the volcano area to find Zheng Bin from the Mystic Mist sect."
Yun Song yelled, "Why do we go find them? We should return to the glacier area to kill off the Ghost sect disciples, and then continue with our trial!"
"Shut the hell up!" Zheng Rui put on an unfriendly expression. "We've already taken a huge risk by waiting for you. I don't care how many of you died! As long as you're with us, you'll take orders from us. You're in no position to tell us what to do!"
"Cousin." Yun Song looked piteously at Yuan Feng.
Yuan Feng's swept everyone with his bleak gaze, and after a moment of silence, he said coldly, "Listen to them."
If he still had his team, Yuan Feng would never fear the Spiritual Treasure sect or the Cloudsoaring sect. However, times had changed. The only people who remained on his team were himself and Yun Song. They could only listen to the other two sects.
"We have a lot of spirit beast jerky," Nie Tian mentioned. "Somebody has to carry it for us. Why don't we let them do it? What do you guys say?"
"I agree!" An Ying nodded.
"It's only fair!" Zheng Rui chiming in.
Jiang Lingzhu agreed. "Yeah, they have to do something."
Yun Song said angrily, "We haven't had the chance to recover yet!"
Nie Tian grinned. "We don't need people who don't work."
"Fine, I'll do it!" said Yuan Feng, voice cold and firm.
"Well then, I'll do it, too." Yun Song had no choice but act obediently.
"Good, now this is the way to behave," said Nie Tian, with a foxy smile.
