chapter 224 part 2
"Not necessary."
The Green Leaf Witch spoke faintly, spearing a piece of roasted meat and putting it in her mouth, chewing unhurriedly.
"Oh." Enri ducked her head and spoke in a low voice, taking back the soup she had offered. She then found a corner and sat down.
She was still a little afraid of the ever-aloof Miss Cuiye. However, after interacting with her, she realized that while she might not be as gentle as the Lord Captain, she wasn't a bad person.
"It smells so good. With so much diced meat and fine salt, it's delicious even with simple cooking," Enri thought to herself, holding the steaming bowl of meat soup in both hands and taking a gentle sip. She lifted her head, quickly glanced at everyone, then lowered her head again, savoring the soup.
The Lord Captain isn't picky about food, but he likes to drink boiled water. I'll have to prepare more tomorrow.
Miss Cuiye eats roasted meat sprinkled with fine salt. Her stomach doesn't look big, yet she can eat enough for two or three people at once. Maybe powerful mages just eat a lot.
And then there's Xiao Hei, who has the biggest appetite and likes to eat raw meat.
Thinking of this, Enri couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Given Xiao Hei's appetite, she felt the supplies they bought in E-Rantel wouldn't last more than a few days.
No wonder the Lord Captain had given her 20 gold coins to buy supplies. She had originally thought she would never be able to spend it all.
*Rustle~*
A faint sound came from the dim wilderness in the distance.
The Green Leaf Witch paused her chewing, looked up first in Tang Zheng's direction, and then lowered her head to continue eating.
"ROAR!"
Suddenly, a ferocious roar echoed out. A fat giant bear, over three meters long, emerged from the distant wilderness.
With crimson eyes fixed on their location, it charged over without hesitation.
Seeing this, "Ah!" Enri let out a scream, a look of terror on her face. She nearly dropped the soup bowl in her hands.
"So noisy!" The Green Leaf Witch frowned at Enri and snapped coldly.
Enri quickly clapped a hand over her mouth, but the fear on her face did not subside in the slightest.
"Plant Entanglement."
The Green Leaf Witch calmly looked at the charging, frenzied giant bear, raised a hand glowing with emerald green light, and aimed ahead.
*Swish! Swish!*
The weeds on the ground transformed into vines, shooting up from the earth and easily ensnaring the crazed giant bear, binding it in place.
"ROAR! ROAR!"
The giant bear roared continuously, trying to break free from the vines, but the rapidly growing vines bound its legs and pulled it to the ground.
At this moment, the evil spirit hound stood up. Its sharp eyes fixed on the giant bear as it strode forward unhurriedly on all fours.
It came to a stop before the struggling, roaring giant bear, which was a full size larger than itself.
The evil spirit hound lifted a foreleg and swung it down casually.
*Splat!*
The roaring stopped abruptly. The giant bear's head was smashed by the claw, splattering into a mess of gore.
The evil spirit hound licked the corner of its mouth, opened its jaws, picked up the giant bear's corpse, and carried it back to devour.
Enri's shoulders trembled slightly as she stared, dumbfounded.
"Cuiye, you're on watch tonight." Tang Zheng hadn't even lifted his head from start to finish. After finishing his meat soup, he stood up and instructed the Green Leaf Witch.
"Yes, Lord."
The Green Leaf Witch also rose and replied respectfully.
Tang Zheng yawned and walked towards the tent. That frenzied giant bear seemed to have been lured here by someone.
They had only just left E-Rantel, and they were already being attacked.
"They're really impatient. But this bounty won't be easy to claim."
Tang Zheng glanced in the direction of the dark night, reached out to open the tent flap, and walked in. He had no interest in the group that had lured the giant bear.
The only thing that piqued his interest was the assassin organization, Ijenia. They clearly wouldn't make a move this early.
Only after gathering sufficient information would they launch a fatal sneak attack.
After entering the tent, a thought moved in Tang Zheng's mind: "Teleport."
*Swoosh!*
His figure vanished into thin air.
The Green Leaf Witch subconsciously glanced towards the tent, then looked away and continued eating her roasted meat.
Inside the lava zone.
Tang Zheng conversed with the dwarven artisans as usual, then continued soaking in the dragon blood. During this time, as his body gradually absorbed the dragon blood, he could feel that his Poison Resistance was about to level up again.
As sunlight broke in the east, Tang Zheng's eyes snapped open, a hint of joy on his face. "It's done!"
*Splash!*
The crimson dragon blood slid down his body.
Tang Zheng waved his hand, collecting it into his item box, then looked at the passive on his stat panel:
...
Passive: Poison Resistance II
Effect: Effective against poison attacks (of approximately Lv 30 or lower).
...
Passive attribute resistances were extremely difficult to obtain. Acquiring this passive ability through dragon blood was an absolutely unexpected surprise for Tang Zheng.
"The effect of soaking in dragon blood is getting weaker and weaker, but it looks like I can still absorb more."
Steam rose from Tang Zheng's entire body. He watched as the crimson marks on his skin's surface slowly faded and were absorbed, speaking softly to himself.
After waiting for the aura on his body to mostly dissipate, he activated his teleportation magic and left the lava zone.
*Whoosh!*
The tent flap was pulled open, and a rush of cold air poured in.
Tang Zheng stepped out of the tent, sniffing the mostly dissipated bloody scent in the air. He saw several corpses lying in the distance.
