Chapter 700: Acknowledging a Demigod as an Elder Brother
When the corpses of thousands of beasts of Divine Ability Users and Controller beasts were placed in front of Fang Jueyu, he admitted, he was almost so happy he could faint.
Among these corpses, Controller beasts accounted for nearly one-tenth, which Fang Jueyu found almost unimaginable.
"Eh, I don't know what's going on, but recently there are fewer and fewer Transcender-level beasts. I don't know if it's because I'm eating too much lately. They run away at the sight of me. Today, I'll just make do with these!" Jin Gang picked up a cup of fragrant milk tea and drank it up, "Having a cup of milk tea after exercising is just perfect!"
"King of Pretentiousness, you do it, I'm not doing it anymore!" Fang Jueyu looked at Jin Gang in this state, and even he had to admit defeat after hearing those two sentences.
But thinking about it, there really wasn't anything wrong with it. To Jin Gang, any beast of Divine Ability User, Controller, or even Transcender level was all the same. It was just that Fang Jueyu's perspective was limited.
"Bro, is this enough? If not, I'll go kill some more!"
"It's enough, it's enough!" Fang Jueyu said hurriedly. Killing any more would practically be a genocide. Fang Jueyu didn't know if Jin Gang could finish eating all these thousands of corpses in one go, but he himself couldn't finish even one!
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going to take a nap first!" Jin Gang casually found a plant resembling a twisted-necked tree, leaned against it, and started dozing off.
"Let's get to work!" Fang Jueyu had already prepared all sorts of ingredients. These creatures were impervious to swords and spears when alive, but after death, with the loss of Cosmic Source Power, they were just a bit tougher than ordinary meat.
Fang Jueyu took out a delicate box, "Er Gouzi, dig out all those Life Crystals and store them away, don't let the energy dissipate. Later, I'll let you have some barbecue!"
"Woof woof woof!" Er Gouzi yipped in delight. It could sense the rich energy contained in the flesh, and even when cooked, only one or two parts of the energy would dissipate at most.
Given Er Gouzi's current level, the meat of a few Controller beasts would keep it processing for quite a while!
"Shing!" Fang Jueyu brought out a sharp boning knife, then tied a red ribbon on his forehead. At this moment, he felt his soul of youthful rebellion ignite.
"Lonely Nine Swords!"
"Ao Han Six Techniques!"
"Infinite Maha!"
"Outer Heaven Flying Immortal!"
Fang Jueyu used almost all the swordsmanship he had learned, and within seconds, he could cleanly carve the meat of one beast. A huge barbecue grill several tens of meters high was already set up beside him...
Jin Gang had fallen into a deep sleep, but suddenly, an overwhelming aroma of meat filled his nostrils. He opened his sleepy eyes, and the scene before him left him stunned.
On a barbecue grill dozens of meters high, a beast emitting a golden sheen was giving off a delicious fragrance, the meaty scent accompanied by the spicy aroma of chili peppers, garlic, and scallions, making it irresistibly appetizing.
"Bro... Brother Fang, is it ready? Can we eat it?" Jin Gang asked impatiently.
"Hang on a bit, it's almost ready," Fang Jueyu was using Source Power to conjure Nine Dragons Thunder Gang Fire to grill the beast, "but that Tinfoil Dragon should be done!"
"Tinfoil Dragon?" Jin Gang looked in the direction Fang Jueyu pointed to see a pit was dug up in the ground, and a Controller-level Bear Ape Sub-dragon wrapped in foil was buried there, a strong aroma wafting out from the gaps.
"So delicious, so delicious!" Jin Gang grabbed the foil, tore off a piece of meat, and tossed it into his mouth.
"So good! So good! I've never tasted meat this delicious in my entire life! Damn, how can there be such tasty stuff in the world? How am I supposed to go back to eating those bland and dry meats after this?"
"Done! Brother Jin Gang, catch!" Fang Jueyu tossed over the freshly grilled meat.
Jin Gang felt that just eating it this way wasn't satisfying enough. He transformed into his original form and took a big bite out of the roast, which was dozens of meters high.
"So delicious! Brother Fang, your skills are amazing!"
"Er Gouzi, you should try it too!" Fang Jueyu tossed over some grilled meat from a Divine Ability User-level beast.
"Woof woof woof!" Er Gouzi wagged its tail and began happily gnawing. With Er Gouzi's appetite, it could easily consume over a dozen beasts' worth of corpses.
Jin Gang devoured one after another, hundreds of beasts' worth of grilled meat disappearing without a blink. Fang Jueyu almost couldn't roast them fast enough to keep up with his eating speed.
But even so, Fang Jueyu was delighted inside. After all, he had just acquired over 1,600 Divine-level Life Crystal Cores and more than 400 Controller-level Life Crystal Cores. If Mohe were to devour them all, he could even reach the peak of Divine Ability User in a short time!
"Wah wah wah, it's so delicious!" As Jin Gang ate, he started crying. Maybe that's just what food lovers are like.
"Oh dear, poor thing, doesn't even know how to swear," Fang Jueyu shook his head and started eating too. As the grilled meat went down his throat, it instantly transformed into a warm current coursing through his body. His bodily strength, which had almost stagnated, began to surge again!
"Xiao Yi, this..."
"Hahaha, this is the effect of beast flesh. Normally, beasts of the same level as Martial Artists often have twice the strength and physical resilience. Their flesh can alter a Martial Artist's vitality, so the more, the better."
"Damn, then I need to eat more too!" Fang Jueyu eagerly joined the feast.
"Burp~" A dog, a person, and a beast, the three of them lay sprawled on the ground. Er Gouzi and Jin Gang were full to bursting, and Fang Jueyu was exhausted. Without his Shadow Clone Jutsu, there was no way he could have handled all this grilling alone. Even so, each clone still roasted about 100 beasts.
"I can't help it, I'm just too happy today. Brother Fang, I, Jin Gang, want to be your brother!"
"Uh?" Fang Jueyu was stunned, "Aren't we already brothers?"
Although at first, Fang Jueyu almost got eaten by him, the gain of so many Life Crystal Cores made that resentment disappear long ago. Moreover, Jin Gang, as a beast, was far less scheming than humans, innocent and somewhat adorable. Fang Jueyu actually liked him quite a bit.
"No, I mean among us beasts, brothers through a soul contract!" Jin Gang said seriously.
"Host, this is your big break! Quick! A soul contract like this isn't as binding as a pet contract or slave contract, but at least it's an equal contract. From now on, he can't harm you!"
"There's such a contract?"
"By the Beast God above, I, Jin Gang, hereby form a soul contract with Fang Jueyu. From now on, through glory and disgrace, we shall share wealth and honor. If I break this oath, may my god crystal shatter, and my soul be damned for eternity!"
A deep blue mark appeared and floated above Jin Gang's forehead. After he recited this, runes appeared on the mark.
"Damn, that's hardcore!" Fang Jueyu marveled. But what did he mean by god crystal?
"Brother Fang, it's your turn!"
"Oh oh oh," Fang Jueyu quickly mimicked his style and declared, "By Lord Guan above, today I, Fang Jueyu, and Jin Gang become sworn brothers! Though not born on the same day of the same month in the same year, may we die on the same day of the same month in the same year. If I break this vow, may my manhood shrink by ten centimeters and never rise again!"
As soon as he finished, more lines appeared on the mark, then it transformed into two beams of light that shot into both of their foreheads. At that moment, Fang Jueyu realized he had formed a unique bond with Jin Gang!
"Damn! I'm incredible now! I basically have a Demigod for a big brother. In this Root Universe, I can definitely strut my stuff!"
"Brother Fang, what were you saying just now? I didn't understand a word."
"Oh, that's the most venomous vow from our Godrich Civilization, even scarier than having your soul scattered!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. I, Jin Gang, am truly moved. No, I'm hungry again, I'll go catch some more beasts!"
