Chapter 131: Chapter 131

Little Loach was eating at the bottom of the water, chewing each bite with gritted teeth and grinding it fiercely.

But your taste is barely acceptable.

Sigh, I still want to eat my delicious food, wuwuwu, I am so disappointed and wronged.

The huge demon beast, along with the medicinal power of the strange grass it had eaten before, all went into Little Loach’s belly. Even though Little Loach was eating and digesting with all its might, the creature was just too big. It could be said that this was the fullest Little Loach had been, aside from the time it ate that strange plant.

After eating - it became round like a ball - lazily lying at the bottom of the water, it didn’t even want to move its whiskers.

Owen Bertram sensed his younger brother’s condition and attached his soul to take a look, then sighed helplessly: Why not split this into two meals?

He shook his head, not wanting to lecture his younger brother anymore. If it could change, it would have changed by now.

Owen Bertram was at the construction site of the outpost, carrying stones with everyone else. According to the current progress, the project would be completed in more than ten days.

When it was mid-afternoon, he called for Little Loach to come back, but Little Loach, feeling drowsy, said: I won’t be going back today, I really don’t want to move.

Elder Brother expressed understanding and even got used to it, not worrying as much as he did in the beginning. However, you can play outside, but you have to provide enough public food. Oh, no, you have to provide enough reciprocal nourishment.

Elder brother knows that you ate especially well today, don’t think that a small, warm snake-like flow will be enough to send me away.

Little Loach still couldn’t forget about that delicious food and knew that if it really wanted to eat it, it would need Elder Brother’s help. So today, it tried its best, working hard throughout the night. When the sky was about to brighten, a massive warm flow came rolling in, and it was no less impressive than the previous Tier-3 demonic beast!

In one breath, Owen Bertram ignited the meridians from his left arm to his right leg, as well as the meridians from his right arm to his left leg! The Peach of Response and the Commander’s Token got along well, unlike the left chest spiritual cavity, where the Golden Sword Artefact and the Gourd Responding Items were at odds. These two went from the spiritual cavity as the starting point, sailing in opposite directions.

When they reached the end point of the ignited meridians, each turned back and met in the right chest spiritual cavity, revolving around each other nine times and then changing positions to sail to the other half of the meridians.

The effect was much better than the two responsive objects in the left chest.

The Eight Desolations Human Clan had twelve main meridians, and the perfection of the Ignition Acupoint Level was to ignite all twelve main meridians. However, Owen Bertram compared this with his experience from his previous life and wondered if there were also "Eight Extraordinary Meridians"?

But in this world of cultivation, there is no mention of anyone overflowing beyond the Ignition Acupoint Level, like the Ran Cavity Level, after reaching the perfection of the Ignition Acupoint Level.

"Has the cultivator of this world not discovered the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, or does the human race here not have these eight meridians at all?" Owen Bertram wondered.

This huge warm flow was already very satisfying for Elder Brother, but this time, younger brother was really putting in the effort and giving a lot: there is also a seed, I will give it to you during the day.

Owen Bertram’s eyes lit up, a seed? Now that you mention it, I am not sleepy anymore.

The last seed - of course, it was a real, physical seed - was the Mysterious Mechanism Seed. This odd treasure had subdued Little Wang and the others, starting Owen Bertram’s journey as a hidden boss in the Horizon Bureau.

What would the seed be this time?

After daybreak, the construction site of the outpost became busy again. Owen Bertram found an excuse to inspect the Riverside alone and left. The military officers wanted to accompany him for protection, but he sternly refused... then hurriedly left - mainly because he couldn’t hold back the first spring of the morning any longer.

He ran straight to the Gourd Vine and quickly ’released the flood’.

The mountain breeze blew, and the seven gourds gently swayed. Owen Bertram uttered a sound of surprise - the little ones had been working hard lately, and the original seven gourds of various sizes had almost reached the same size!

Old Second to Old Seventh had almost caught up with Old First.Everyone was frantically trying to outdo each other, creating a positive competitive atmosphere.

"Not bad, not bad." Owen Bertram grinned, secretly boasting about the richness of his own stream.

In this world, everything grew much larger. For example, these gourds had grown to almost five feet in size. As their skins turned darker, they were almost ripe.

The Boss secretly cursed in his heart, "You bastards only work hard when there’s profit to be made! At first, you were all so cautious, but after seeing him, you all started competing with me for resources!"

Owen Bertram turned and left, and the Gourd Elder gave his brothers a silent scolding.

But the brothers didn’t talk back, instead focusing on grabbing nutrients as fast as they could.

Owen Bertram arrived at the riverside and whistled. Brother jumped out of the water, shrinking in size and landing on Elder Brother’s hand, crying pitifully.

Owen Bertram petted it comfortingly, saying, "Alright, alright, we’ll figure something out so that we don’t lose that delicacy. You can be certain the cave is important to it, or else it would’ve left after the first time. It’ll be back sooner or later, but it’ll be even more cautious now that it knows we have a hiding skill. We have to think of a plan..."

Only then did Little Loach obediently spit out a seed.

Unlike the Mysterious Mechanism Seed from before, this seed was pitch black and covered with intricate, mysterious golden patterns.

The moment Owen touched it, he understood: a Fern Seed.

It came from the spirit grass that was swallowed by the giant creature. It could be planted and carefully nurtured to produce poisonous leaves and fruits, among other things.

The whole plant was valuable medicinal material, in no way inferior to the spirit grass consumed by the giant creature, and it could be repeatedly harvested.

"What a great find!" Owen’s eyes lit up, then immediately thought about the potential surprise of planting this spirit seed in the Gold Soil created by modifying the stone mill.

"After the outpost is built, I’ll plant it."

Owen Bertram patted Brother’s head in satisfaction and released him back into the water, "Alright, go find food."

Owen continued upgrading his Mechanical Dao Soldiers. But less than a shichen later, Brother returned angrily, angrily informing Owen that someone was trying to steal from his snack storage again!

Outside the Iron Spear Underground Palace, a giant Softshell Turtle was lurking around.

"Tire-3 Demonic Beast," Owen thought to himself, "even stronger than the Giant Crocodile from last time." After cultivating the Soul Puppetry Skill, he could tell at a glance that this Softshell Turtle was a puppet as well.

"It came from upstream of the river, just like the Giant Crocodile!"

Owen’s expression turned solemn: the Iron Spear Underground Palace had attracted the attention of a powerful being from the upstream Extinction Domain.

"But why isn’t it coming here personally? Instead, only sending a Tire-3 Demonic Beast... trying to mimic The Calabash Brothers?"

"Unless there’s some reason why it can’t leave the Extinction Domain."

Matthew had told him that the Extinction Domain had an eruption cycle, and the Demon Beings that came out would become increasingly powerful. In other words, that powerful existence might one day break free on its own.

"Heh, when it manages to come out, I’m afraid my dear Brother will have grown up enough to swallow it whole." Owen wasn’t overly worried.
