Chapter 1270: Chapter 279: Li Hao’s Ingredients 2
Mi Xueyao stared intently at the Ancient Demon Tide and said, “Did you see? Among them, the Reincarnation Clan is patrolling everywhere and not engaging in battle. They must be looking for us!”
Li Hao was stunned and asked, “Didn’t the Ancient Demon Commander escape to report earlier? How… can they transmit intelligence so quickly?”
“Hmm?”
Mi Xueyao looked at Li Hao in confusion, saw his puzzled expression, and thought for a moment, assuming Li Hao had made a slip of the tongue, she explained:
“Within the Ancient Demon Clan, there is a reincarnation world where information transmission travels millions of miles in a single breath, even the king-level can’t keep up.”
Li Hao was struck dumb, understanding that in a battlefield, intelligence is critical, and it was no wonder the Ancient Demon Clan was so formidable with their terrifying intelligence transmission capabilities.
“How do you know all this?” Li Hao asked.
Mi Xueyao snorted lightly, “I am at the Immortal Monarch Realm, we’ve been battling the Ancient Demon Clan for a hundred thousand years. Wouldn’t I have discovered such secrets?”
Li Hao nodded, realizing that most of the Immortal Monarch Realm from the Human Race must have been aware of this secret.
“It seems you know quite a bit,” Li Hao remarked, his words holding a hint of deeper meaning.
Mi Xueyao didn’t think much of it but kept her eyes fixed on the Ancient Demon Tide, her gaze flickering. Suddenly, she whispered:
“We need to take a detour, we can’t go back now. They’ve secretly prepared defenses here, if we approach, it will definitely alert them…”
She glanced around, her eyes suddenly filled with resolve, and said, “We’ll do the opposite, follow me!”
Li Hao shook off her hand, saying, “You go, I want to go back.”
Mi Xueyao hurriedly said, “You’re in the same situation as me now, if you go you’ll alert them too. You have no idea what detection methods they have.”
Li Hao said nothing, choosing instead to hide his aura and keep moving forward.
Approaching the Ancient Demon Tide, suddenly, Li Hao saw several Ancient Demons fly up, a dazzling mirror floating above their heads, illuminating the starry sky.
The mirror kept flipping, its frame embedded with skulls, appearing quite grim.
Li Hao’s face slightly changed, and he hurriedly stopped, feeling a premonition that if he got closer, he would be locked by that mirror.
In his Realm, nurturing a Heavenly Dao Infant, his intuition was already influenced by the unseen Heavenly Dao, and was extremely accurate.
Whoosh!
Mi Xueyao’s figure flickered, instantly teleporting in front of Li Hao, enveloping him in the Immortal Path Law, dragging him back several tens of thousands of miles to their previous position.
“You almost got yourself killed!”
Mi Xueyao glared at Li Hao angrily and said, “Do you know what that is? That’s the Reincarnation Clan’s Three-Life Secret Technique. Earlier, that Ancient Demon Commander marked you, through this Three-Life Secret Technique, any disguise is useless unless you cultivate into an Immortal King, shielding yourself with an Immortal Country to evade even a trace of the force of fate from the Three-Life Secret Technique.”
Li Hao didn’t refute this time, only furrowing his brows, realizing the means the Ancient Demons possessed were not merely strong Primordial Spirits.
“Let’s hide here for now and wait for a chance during their chaotic battle.”
Mi Xueyao suggested.
Li Hao nodded, for now, their only choice was to wait until the Ancient Demon Clan and the Yan and Chu armies were locked in a fierce battle before he had a chance to return.
At this moment, with the Ancient Demon Tide ahead, he found himself situated behind the Ancient Demon Army.
“Let’s go.”
Mi Xueyao stopped wasting words and used the Immortal Path Law to conceal Li Hao’s aura, ensuring no others among the Ancient Demons would notice them as long as the Reincarnation Clan didn’t use the Three-Life Secret Technique to pursue them.
“In that case, let’s return to the first line of defense.”
Li Hao suggested.
Mi Xueyao recalled their initial location where there weren’t any Ancient Demon Army, and she also knew the main deployment areas of the Ancient Demon Army. She immediately nodded and said, “Alright.”
The two retreated from the second line of defense back to the first line.
The entire battlefield was extremely vast, and Li Hao picked up Ancient Demon corpses in the first line.
In this starry sky, there were still sunrises and sunsets, though that blazing Divine Yang fell to an extremely distant location, as if sinking into the Nine Nether, completely invisible.
At that time, only the twinkling starlight remained across the sky.
Li Hao acted like a scavenger, picking up Ancient Demon corpses along the way. When he encountered relatively intact Human Race warrior corpses, he also collected them, planning to return their souls to their hometowns after his return to the city.
Even though he didn’t know the names of the deceased, in this huge battlefield, sharing the same race was enough reason for him to do this.
After several days of scavenging, the surrounding Ancient Demon corpses gradually diminished. Li Hao found a broken floating land amidst the stars as his place to rest, where chaos and scattered corpses were abundant.
Li Hao took out a complete Ancient Demon corpse and wielded Taowu, skillfully slicing through the Ancient Demon’s skin to prepare a meal.
He gathered Chaos Divine Fire in his palm, driven by immortal power, its strength and temperature dozens of times higher than before.
This perfected True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon corpse gradually sizzled and released fragrance as it was roasted over the Chaos Divine Fire.
Li Hao retrieved many spices he carried and painted into the void two kinds of specially aromatic trees. Once the trees materialized, he carved them into aromatic powder, sprinkling it on the Ancient Demon Meat. Under the rising temperature of the Chaos Divine Fire, it immediately emitted an extremely enticing aroma.
“What are you doing?”
Mi Xueyao saw Li Hao’s actions and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, her face showing disbelief.
In all these years, she’d seen the Ancient Demon Clan tearing each other apart and occasionally consuming members of their kind but never had she seen the Human Race eat Ancient Demons, let alone using them as culinary ingredients…
Her whole body felt a little cold.
Yet the drifting aroma made her involuntarily swallow.
The scent of the same race… how could it be so delicious?
Soon enough, Li Hao finished cooking, seeing the increase in culinary experience, he smiled contentedly and began devouring it.
The Ancient Demon’s flesh he prepared was crispy on the outside, tender within, melting in the mouth with a rich meaty fragrance.
As the Ancient Demon Flesh was digested within him, pure Primordial Spirit Power flowed into Li Hao’s body.
He felt invigorated, his Divine Sense slowly strengthening, his Primordial Spirit quietly growing.
Mi Xueyao sat quietly beside Li Hao, watching the Human Race youth’s delighted expression, feeling not only chills but also a strange impulse.
Could it truly be so delectable?
As Li Hao almost finished eating the large Ancient Demon, she couldn’t help but say, “Let me try it too.”
Li Hao glanced at her, initially not inclined to respond, but as a master of cooking, aside from his meticulous culinary standards, he had compassion for diners.
He sliced off a piece and tossed it to her, then continued eating on his own.
Mi Xueyao caught the roast meat Li Hao tossed over, the rich aroma rushing to her nostrils. Unable to resist, she took a light sniff and gracefully tore off a piece, sending it elegantly into her mouth.
As the meat’s fragrance spread over her tongue, her eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
The taste was divine!
She slowly finished eating, then eagerly tore off another piece.
As her pace quickened, Li Hao had already devoured the entire Ancient Demon.
He patted his belly, feeling the enhancement of his Primordial Spirit, the exhaustion from successive battles was entirely wiped away after this hearty meal.
Li Hao inwardly observed his Primordial Spirit, noting the addition of over a dozen Primordial Spirit Golden Veins, still slowly growing.
Li Hao couldn’t help but feel thrilled at such rapid progress. Under normal cultivation, reaching such Primordial Spirit strength would take years, even with advanced cultivation techniques, yet it might not yield such improvement.
“Is there any more?”
Mi Xueyao’s voice suddenly called out.
Li Hao opened his eyes, seeing her slightly embarrassed yet wanting more expression.
This woman is ruthless… Li Hao mused speechlessly, she was craving her own kind.
“If you want more, find your own ingredients.”
Li Hao replied.
He was unwilling to share the Ancient Demon corpse he had with her.
“Ingredients?”
Mi Xueyao heard Li Hao’s words and froze, it was the first time since her birth she had heard someone refer to the Ancient Demon Clan as “ingredients.”
