Chapter 1096 Ah Chou

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As night fell, a bright moon rose into the sky. The sand and gravel on the Gobi Desert glowed coldly under the cold moonlight. Due to the lack of vegetation and water, the temperature difference between day and night was extremely great. The hot stones in the day could fry meat, and it was cold to the point of freezing not long after nightfall.

Chu Jun sat cross-legged on the top of a wind-eroded rock pillar, feeling an incomparably dense moonlight essence. He circulated the first layer of the Moon Frost Art while mobilizing his divine sense to repair the damaged divine sea. Although Chu Jun's divine sense could not be released, it was still possible to repair the internal injuries of the Divine Sea. Fortunately, fellow initiate Chu Jun and Dual Divine Technique had evolved a divine ability to heal the wounds of the Divine Sea. Otherwise, the Divine Sea would never be able to be repaired unless he could find a Little Divine King-level God Race to heal him.

Time spent cultivating always passed very quickly, The bright moon sank to the west, The sun rose in the east, Chu Jun stopped cultivating. After a night of treatment, Only then did Shen Hai's injuries slightly recover. However, Chu Jun was not discouraged. At this rate of healing, In less than a year, the divine sea of boils would be completely healed. In another ten or so years, the divine sense of heaven should be able to be released. Although it could only be released for a very short distance, it could at least open up the small world and storage magic treasures. A small life was equivalent to an additional layer of protection. As long as one dodged into the small world, there was no need to worry about being found by the people of the Divine Palace. After recovering completely, they would go to look for other people.

It had been more than two days since he had entered the God Realm, but Chu Jun had been fleeing, and he had no time to digest the series of events that had taken place during this period of time. Now that he had cultivated all night, facing the morning sun, breathing in the cold morning air, his thoughts were strangely calm and clear, slowly sorting out what had happened in the past few days.

Although Chu Jun wasn't sure if the Jade Emperor was Zhao Yu or not, judging from her desperate attempt to save him that day, Yu'er's consciousness was extremely likely to dominate the Jade Emperor. Moreover, Huang Bing wasn't as cold and heartless as she appeared on the surface. It was obvious that she still had feelings for him. No matter what, she had to find the two of them, as well as Xiao Xiao and Sister Qing.

As for the Nine Cauldrons and the Heavenly Tribulation, it was gradually becoming clear. Judging from the God Race's reaction, the Nine Dragons Cauldron should be something they had created, but they didn't know what they wanted to do with it. Both the Jade Emperor and the Ice Emperor should know that the legend of absorbing Nine Dragons True Qi to become a supreme being was a trick. In other words, the Ice Emperor was clearly using him to help the Demon King absorb Nine Dragons True Qi to enter the God Realm through the entrance of the Nine Cauldrons. The Jade Emperor's purpose was obviously to enter the God Realm. However, the Underworld Emperor didn't know that the legend of the Nine Cauldrons was a scam. He forcefully snatched the Nine Dragons Cauldron from the Demon King and became a scapegoat. If he hadn't been rescued by the Jade Emperor and the Ice Emperor, his fate would have been similar to that of the Underworld Emperor.

Right now, what Chu Jun was most worried about was the human realm. He heard from Patriarch Three Lives that the Fallen Immortal calamity back then was related to the Nine Dragons Cauldron. That day, the Nine Dragons Cauldron was activated. I wonder if the three realms also suffered a world-destroying calamity. Xiangjun and Fei Fei, they don't know what to do now.

"When we find Xiaoxiao and the others, we need to find a way to return to the Mortal Realm as soon as possible!" Chu Jun said to himself.

Just as Chu Jun was deep in thought, a weak cough floated in the wind. Although Chu Jun's divine sense could not be released, his cultivation was at such a level that his ears were quite strong. Even a slight noise of a hundred meters in radius could not escape his ears. Of course, he could only be on guard against some idiots who could make noise. Cultivators with a certain cultivation level would not make noise easily.

Chu Jun floated down from the wind-eroded stone pillar. He saw that ragged-clothed woman curled up under the stone pillar and slept. Her body shrank under the cold wind in the morning, and she coughed lightly from time to time.

Chu Jun couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. The temperature here was very low at night. Of course, he wasn't afraid of the cold. However, this woman clearly hadn't cultivated before. After being frozen here for a night, she didn't say a word. She was indeed a stubborn fellow.

As soon as Chu Jun walked to the woman's side, she immediately opened her eyes vigilantly. When she saw that it was Chu Jun, she closed her eyes again.

Gulu … A stomach rumble rang out.

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the woman curled up on the ground and asked, "Ah Chou, are you hungry?"

The woman opened her eyes and nodded.

Chu Jun did have some wine and Grain-repelling Pills, but they were all in his interspatial ring. However, his divine sense couldn't be released now, and he couldn't even bring out any food. As for his surroundings, it was either sand or stone, and even grass was hard to find, let alone food and water.

"Stay here, I'll go find out if there's anything to eat!" Chu Jun flew into the air and searched the distance.

However, Chu Jun searched for dozens of kilometers around. He couldn't even find a single bird feather. The entire mountain was covered in gravel and stones. He found a small lake. Unfortunately, it was that kind of weak water. Naturally, he couldn't even find a single piece of fish poop.

Chu Jun returned to his original location dejectedly. He discovered that Ah Chou was no longer here. He had gone around for four rounds but still couldn't find him. He dared to take advantage of this opportunity to escape. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he felt that it was impossible. If he wanted to escape, she should have left last night.

Chu Jun flew up into the air and searched the surroundings. She was finally found between two wind-eroded dunes, He couldn't help but curiously descend. The girl lay on a piece of rubble and gently removed the gravel. A scorpion the size of a thumb raised its tail and tried to escape under a nearby rock. However, Ah Chou's pitch black hand suddenly reached out and pinched its tail. He lifted it up and cleanly pinched off the needles and two large pliers.

The scorpion that broke its tail needle and pliers turned into a toothless tiger. A'niu pinched off the rest of her feet and put them into her mouth to chew. As she chewed, she turned left and right to continue searching.

Chu Jun couldn't help but be dumbfounded. At the same time, he felt a little sympathy. So this was how she survived!

Suddenly, Ah Chou turned around and looked at Chu Jun as if he had sensed something. He couldn't see the expression on his messy face, and he quickly turned around and continued to search for stones as if nothing had happened.

Chu Jun walked over and squatted down, looking for stones like A Chou. The latter looked at Chu Jun strangely and turned around to look at the other side.

Chu Jun smiled nonchalantly. He placed both of his hands on the ground and spat out spiritual energy. All the stones that were more than ten meters in radius instantly floated up. Nearly a hundred warped-tailed fellows of all sizes were stunned for a moment. They immediately fled in panic as if they had exploded into a pot. Chu Jun slammed his palm onto the ground and those fellows instantly flipped over. With a stretch of his pincisers, they all shook their tails to death.

Ah Chou was instantly struck by the Body Settling Curse, holding a scorpion with its tail cut off in its hand and forgetting to put it in its mouth.

Chu Jun removed the scorpion from Ah Chou's hand and chuckled, "It's not hygienic to eat it raw!" With that, he waved his hand and gathered more than a hundred dead scorpions into a pile that floated in the air. Then, he spat out the sun fire from his palm and roasted them.

Not long after, more than a hundred scorpions were roasted until they were greasy like fried hairy crabs.

Chu Jun picked out a big one and handed it to Ah Chou, saying, "The conditions are simple and crude. I'll let you taste it!"

Ah Chou took a deep look at Chu Jun and tore open the steaming scorpion to chew. Chu Jun himself also took one and revealed the steaming white meat inside. From the looks of it, it was quite appetizing. However, the taste in his mouth was really lacking, so Chu Jun was no longer interested after eating one. Ah Chou ate it with relish.

"Poor child, how long has it been since I've eaten cooked food!" Chu Jun said.

Ah Chou glanced at Chu Jun and continued to deal with the roasted scorpions!

Chu Jun said, "Oh right, why did you come all alone?"

"What is that brand on your forehead? Who branded it for you?"

"You don't have any other relatives or friends?"

Chu Jun asked a few questions in succession, but Ah Chou did not answer them. He just buried his head in eating. He did not know if he was extremely hungry, did he not want to answer Chu Jun's questions, or both.

Chu Jun frowned and waved his hand to sweep away all the scorpions. He said coldly, "Answer my question first before you can eat!"

Ah Chou looked coldly at Chu Jun. He held a half-shelled scorpion in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth. He turned around and walked away.

"Holy shit, you really have a personality!" Chu Jun stopped talking and helplessly said, "Alright, it's fine if you don't want to answer. Anyway, this is your personal matter. Come back and eat. Throwing it away will be a waste!"

Ah Chou expressionlessly turned around and walked back. He continued to eat with relish. He was not pretentious at all, and Chu Jun could only stare at him.

After eating more than half of the hundred scorpions, the girl burped contentedly and took out a handkerchief to wrap up the leftovers carefully. Chu Jun looked at this girl strangely. She was clearly dressed in rags and thin clothes. She didn't even have a bundle. He really didn't know where she had hidden her handkerchief.

"Ah Chou, why don't you follow me for a while? How about I send you back to the Domain when my injuries are healed?" Chu Jun said.

"No!" Ah Chou said decisively.

"Why?"

"No reason!" Ah Chou stood up and turned around to leave.

"What an autistic girl!" Chu Jun thought to himself, "It should be an autistic and stubborn girl!"

Plop … The stubborn girl who had just taken a few steps fainted on the ground.

Chu Jun couldn't help but be shocked. His first reaction was that the scorpions were poisonous. He hurriedly rushed over to help her up. He immediately felt the heat pounding on his face. He hurriedly reached out and touched her forehead. Who knew that the scarlet "X" would actually light up with a buzzing sound, bouncing Chu Jun's hand away?

Chu Jun couldn't help but be shocked as he stared curiously at the brand. A moment later, the "X" returned to its original state.

"This should be a seal or something. It looks very powerful!" Chu Jun thought to himself. He suddenly woke up from what Ji Wutan, the insect puppet, had said. A good beauty had been ruined by those old immortals from the Punishment Palace. Could it be that the Punishment Palace had placed this brand on her? If that was the case, then this woman's background wasn't simple either.

Chu Jun reached out and touched Ah Chou's forehead. He discovered that it was so hot that his hands were burning. It seemed that it wasn't because the scorpion was poisonous, but because this girl was sick. It was possible that she had caught a cold last night and had eaten so much hot meat for a while, so she fell ill.

Chu Jun used the Great General Illumination Technique. The cold and holy moonlight enveloped A Chou. Although the Great General Illumination Technique was a healing technique, it also had the function of purifying the spirit. It was a useless technique for treating wind chills.

A moment later, Ah Chou's body temperature finally returned to normal. He murmured in a daze that he wanted to drink water. He had eaten too much meat!
