THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD GOD
V3 #CH 314 IN FOREST
The distance between the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent is very far. If it was an ordinary walk, it would take approximately three days and if it used the help of a Beast or a horse, then the distance could be traveled in just one day.
But Heilong can not take out the Gremlin here because it is still daytime and there are still many residents who carry out their activities. He was afraid that the Gremlin's enormous body shape and face that was so savage, would scare the residents around here.
Heilong decided to walk past the extremely thick snow surface until the end he came upon a path that was the connecting path between the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent.
Before reaching the Eastern Continent, this path would take him to the Northland Forest which was the border forest between the Northern Continent and the Eastern Continent. It was in this forest that Heilong would take out the Gremlin because the forest was very quiet and vast, so it was very easy for Heilong to avoid the attention of the surrounding residents.
He used a bit of his wind energy power to walk, so his footsteps became increasingly lighter and became faster than ordinary people.
In just two hours, Heilong had arrived at the front of the road that led into the Northland Forest. Though two years ago when he had just set foot in this Northern Continent for the first time, it took him about five hours to travel between the Northland Forest and the Snow Jade Sect or the Thousand Sword Ice Graveyard.
“So it feels like walking using the power of wind energy. It was like walking him on a cloud. It does not feel tired at all and my journey becomes faster,” Heilong said as he pulled back the power of wind energy in both legs.
“You finally got here too. I've been waiting for days for your arrival here.”
Suddenly a man's voice emerged from within the Northland Forest and a man was walking towards where Heilong was standing.
Heilong could not see the man's face clearly because the situation in this forest was very dark. It was late afternoon and there were so many trees that were large and towering that it made the atmosphere inside the forest become very dark like night.
“Lin Chong Wei,” said Heilong slightly surprised when the man was already a meter away in front of him.
“Greetings Sir,” said Lin Chong Wei giving his greetings.
“Why are you here? Shouldn't you already be in the Eastern Continent together with Yang Shuo because I got the information that currently Uncle Yang Zhu and Yang Shuo are building the Bamboo Saung Pavilion in the Eastern Continent,” ask Heilong.
“True. Master Yang Zhu and Yang Shuo were currently in the Eastern Continent. I deliberately waited for Master here so that I could help secure your journey back to the Eastern Continent. I wanted to catch up with you when you were in the Snow Jade Sect, but I changed my intentions when I saw that all the inhabitants of the sect were women,” Lin Chong Wei replied.
“Did anyone else come with you?” heilong continued asking as he watched Lin Chong Wei carry two bags of drinks made from the skin of a Beast.
“He was my student, but a student in cooking education. Where is he now? I haven't seen him in a long time,” asked Heilong who didn't see Lu Zhan's presence around here.
“She is grilling meat in the middle of the Forest. Before I went to get some water to drink, I left behind a deer meat from my hunt today. I did not expect that in this forest there were so many golden horn deer. I am so lucky because I can sell those antlers and deer hides when I get to the Eastern Continent,” replied Lin Chong Wei.
“So we made camp in the middle of the forest?” heilong asked.
“True. Because it's easier for me to hunt in the middle of the forest. If we make camp on the edge of the forest, I will have a little trouble getting food because the vegetables around here belong to the people who live on the edge of this forest,” replied Lin Chong Wei while pointing at the resident settlement that looked like it had just been built because when he came to this Continent, the settlement did not yet exist.
“Since when are there residential areas around the border? Is that the residence of the border guard soldiers?” heilong said he saw the residential area nearby.
“It looks like Emperor Xuan Wu has increased the guard in the border region since the troops from the Demon Clan Kingdom attacked to the Northern Continent,” Lin Chong Wei retorted.
“It seems your words are true. Let's get to Lu Zhan's. I want to taste the roasted venison he made immediately. If it doesn't taste good, I'll give him a punishment,” Heilong smiled.
Lin Chong Wei dah Heilong directly walked over to enter the Northland Forest deeper and ignored the settlement of the Northern Continent warriors because he had absolutely no interest in anything that was there.
Heilong and Lin Chong Wei deliberately stopped a bit away from Lu Zhan's place, it was roughly five meters away and the two of them were observing everything Lu Zhan had done from the top of an enormous tree that was all around there.
From up here, Heilong could see very clearly as Lu Zhan burned a whole deer meat on top of a campfire. The fragrant aroma of the grilled meat instantly spread throughout the interior of the forest as he began to apply the seasoning from the grilled meat as he was flipping the meat.
“The cooking skills that Lu Zhan has improved a lot. It seemed like he had trained very hard and managed to master all the recipes in the records I gave him before I went to fight against the forces of the Demon Clan Kingdom,” Heilong said as he continued to observe Lu Zhan.
“For a few days living with him inside this Forest, Lu Zhan has always made me a wide variety of very good food. Was the cooking ability that Lu Zhan had before not as great as this?” asked Lin Chong Wei curiously.
“Before becoming my student, her cooking ability was good enough. Actually Lu Zhan was the main chef at Uncle Yang Zhu's Moon Mermindu Restaurant. But the cooking ability he had back then was not as good as it was now. It seems like he has been practicing cooking techniques very hard these few months,” Heilong replied.
Dao Xue Lian who was resting leisurely within the Heilong Soul World, suddenly opened her eyes. He could sense there was a strange energy outside of Heilong's soul world.
