Chapter 722: Chapter 318 Hungry_1

After walking for a while, Qin Shou could no longer hold it in. Just as he was about to speak, Chongba suddenly made a gesture for silence, then pointed ahead.

Next, Chongba took a step forward. There seemed to be an invisible wall there, and he just passed through it.

Qin Shou followed Chongba and stepped out. The scenery before his eyes changed instantly!

He saw a huge black dragon lying in front of him, soundly asleep, its mouth and nose breathing out streams of white mist... the very mist Qin Shou and the others had just seen.

Even more eerie was the fact that the dragon’s body was covered in countless tentacle-like things, which were wriggling and twisting constantly within the mist.

At that moment, one of the tentacles retracted, and at its end was the eerie human figure with glowing green eyes that Qin Shou had seen earlier! Only now did Qin Shou realize that it was indeed a humanoid thing, looking more like a humanoid cactus.

The cactus was dragging along a strange creature. Whether the creature was dead or asleep, it was utterly motionless, allowing itself to be manipulated at will.

The cactus threw the creature directly into the dragon’s mouth, and as the dragon breathed, it just happened to swallow it.

Eight Trigrams Furnace was about to transmit a message but was also stopped by Chongba, who wrote in the void: "Don’t make a sound."

Following his lead, Eight Trigrams Furnace wrote: "Damn, how lazy does this guy have to be to come up with such a way of eating? Chongba, do you know him?"

Chongba nodded and wrote, "He is also one of the dragon kind. Some say he should also be a son of the Ancestral Dragon, but while everyone knows about the Nine Sons of the Dragon, few have heard his name. However, logically speaking, he should’ve died long ago. How come he’s here?"

Qin Shou glared at Chongba and wrote: "Can you get to the point? What exactly is this thing? How does it eat, does it need soy sauce or something?"

Chongba: "$#$%&..."

Chongba glared at Qin Shou and wrote: "Can you be serious?"

Whining, Qin Shou wrote: "I wish I could, but for some reason, I’m getting hungrier and hungrier."

Qin Shou wasn’t lying. Ever since the eyeball had fled from his stomach, he felt as if it had been emptied, leaving him somewhat hungry. Then the sensation of hunger grew stronger...

Especially after arriving here. The white mist seemed capable of inducing hallucinations, so almost ceaselessly, plucked chickens, cooked ducks, and running roasted piglets flew past his eyes...

These visions made Qin Shou even hungrier, to the point where he sometimes saw the giant dragon as a dragon and sometimes as a huge sausage...

Knowing Qin Shou was a creature where his stomach took precedence, Chongba hurriedly wrote: "This isn’t an ordinary creature; it’s the tenth son of the dragon, Shen! He excels at creating environments. His dragon breath is different from other dragons; it can create illusionary mirages. Those tentacles and cactus-like things on his body are his Illusion Slaves. The Illusion Slaves are responsible for capturing creatures who trespass into the illusionary mirage for him to eat and replenish his energy. Shen loves to sleep; typically, he’d sleep for hundreds of thousands to millions of years as if it were nothing."

Upon hearing this, an image immediately flashed through Qin Shou’s mind: an oasis amidst a sea of sand! It seemed that those who entered the desert would encounter an illusionary mirage and lose their way, ending up dead beyond dead.

However, once Qin Shou thought about the sand, he got distracted and began to examine it in the sand grain by grain, looking like plump grains of rice... And then he was even hungrier!

Gulp.

Qin Shou swallowed his saliva and, pointing to his stomach, wrote: "I can’t take it anymore; I need to find something to eat."

Chongba wrote: "Look at the top of his head; that’s the Shen Eye, the only way out of the illusionary mirage. Let’s sneak by quietly, don’t startle him. As for those Illusion Slaves, they can’t see us right now because my turtle shell is still burning. Be careful not to fly or cause too much fluctuation of Yuan Qi. Let’s move quietly."

Qin Shou scratched his head and, after looking at their average height of 1.3 to 1.4 meters and then at the kilometer-tall eye of the Shen, wrote, "Without flying, can you tell me how we are going to get up there?"

Chongba also scratched his head, his face full of helplessness, and wrote, "Let’s think of something, two heads are better than one."

Qin Shou, rubbing his belly, wrote, "You two think about it; I’m so hungry my heart’s panicking, I’m going to find something to eat."

While talking, Qin Shou had already taken out his Xumi Bag and taken out the last bit of food, throwing it into his mouth.

However, what frustrated Qin Shou was that the food he originally requested, though extraordinarily tasty, didn’t contain much Yuan Qi. Especially that one time when he desperately swallowed treasures in an attempt to stop the major conflict between the Demon Clan Heavenly Court and the Human Clan Heavenly Court, he had consumed a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Now he was running out of supplies.

Therefore, after eating for a while, the deliciousness only made him feel even more unbearably hungry.

Qin Shou ignored Chongba’s constant hand-waving on the side; he didn’t want to see hand gestures right now, he just wanted to find a solution to his problem.

Either get out or get something to eat, otherwise, he felt like he might starve to death.

Qin Shou walked around the huge dragon, which was large, but much smaller in comparison to those dragons that he had seen in the past that were as massive as mountains. At most, this dragon was like a train with more than twenty carriages—only it appeared as though all its passengers had been let out to find food.

Also, Qin Shou noticed that the tail of the Shen occasionally twitched, unsure if it was having nightmares or just not sleeping soundly.

Thinking about those passengers going out to find food, Qin Shou’s eyes suddenly lit up!

Find food?

Qin Shou immediately laughed...

Right at that moment, the Eight Trigrams Furnace and Chongba ran over, with Chongba writing, "Don’t run too far; the smoke from the burning of my turtle shell can’t cover a very large area, if you run out, you’ll be discovered by the Illusion Slaves."

Qin Shou pointed at the Illusion Slaves and wrote, "What happens if I am discovered?"

Chongba wrote, "They will attack you."

"How will they attack?" Qin Shou asked.

Chongba said, "Illusory attacks. Those creatures you see, they are not dead, but rather they’ve fallen into an illusionary mirage and can’t wake up. Others think they have died in the mirage and then their souls hypnotize themselves into self-destruction. In any case, this mirage thing is very tricky."

Qin Shou stroked his chin and wrote, "Tricky... Can you eat it?"

Chongba wrote, "What?"

Qin Shou asked, "I mean, things like this Shen Qi, can you eat it?"

After thinking for a while, Chongba said, "All the energies of the universe are none other than forms of Yuan Qi, and the illusionary mirage of the Shen is itself just a kind of Yuan Qi manipulation, so yes, it should be edible?"
