Beauty and the Bodyguard

"It would be great if Lin Yi, a fool like him, had a lot of good jade in his hands!" Meng Tong couldn't help but look forward to it.

It is his innate nature to like to relax and dislike work. Compared to working hard in the mining area every day, taking a few pieces of scrap jade from Meng Jueguang in exchange for Lin Yi's good jade, this kind of thing is obviously more in line with his wishes. .

In fact, Meng Tong is starting to regret it now. He regrets why he was so big-mouthed and let slip that Lin Yi, a fool like him, couldn't distinguish good jade from waste. Looking back now, he was really stupid!

If he hadn't leaked it at the beginning, then the other newcomers wouldn't have known that they could exchange scrap jade with a fool like Lin Yi for good jade. In this case, wouldn't all the good jade in Lin Yi's hands belong to him?

That's a full fifteen dollars of good jade. Even if you work hard for three months in the No. 7 mining area, you can't earn half of the fifteen dollars! If that were the case, why would I have to work so hard to drill into the mining area every day? I could just lie in the cave and count the jade!

But this kind of good thing can only be thought about in the mind. Even if Meng Tong is not smart, he still knows that if that happens, most of the good jade he got from Lin Yi will still fall into the hands of Meng Jueguang. The best he can do is It would be nice to drink some thin soup along with it.

After sighing for a while, Meng Tong had no choice but to continue reporting to the mining area as usual. However, when he walked through the long underground corridor and was about to enter the mining area, he suddenly stopped.

"What the hell?" Meng Tong couldn't help but look around. In just a split second, he clearly caught a glimpse of a black and white shadow running past his eyes, moving very quickly.

An ordinary person might not be able to react, but Meng Tong is also a heaven-level Dzogchen master. Although he didn't see what it looked like clearly, he was already sure that the shadow that just passed in front of his eyes must be A spiritual beast.

"Spiritual beast! That meat is much more delicious than the meat of ordinary beasts!" Meng Tong couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he thought of this.

Logically speaking, when one's strength has reached the level of a heaven-level master, one can already completely live without grains. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through daily practice, it is far enough to meet one's own needs, and there is no need to ingest food to replenish energy.

However, this does not mean that all masters above the heaven level will stop eating at all. In fact, due to the habits they have developed in the past, most practitioners will still eat a little from time to time. Of course, they will not eat at this time. It’s a necessity, but it’s purely to satisfy greed.

Take Meng Tong as an example. He has become a heaven-level master who can live without food a few years ago, but he still maintains the habit of eating all kinds of delicacies every day, and even goes out to hunt a few rare animals every now and then. The beast fights the tooth festival.

According to his experience, no matter how rare a beast is, the taste of its meat is still far inferior to that of a spiritual beast.

You must know that spiritual beasts are equivalent to cultivators among beasts. Even the weakest and lowest level ones are the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Their meat is not only far more delicious than ordinary beasts, but more importantly, it contains spiritual energy. It is a rare nourishment even for practitioners. Its efficacy is not comparable to that of elixirs, but it is not much worse.

Before Meng Tong came to the Yingxin Pavilion, he often used the spirit beasts in the deep mountains and old forests of the North Island to beat teeth and sacrifice them. Of course, they were relatively weak yellow-level or even non-level spirit beasts. Firstly, they would not be too laborious to capture, and secondly, they would not be too difficult to capture. It is very important not to make too much noise and attract other people's attention.

Tianjie Island is different from the secular world. In the secular world, as long as you have the strength, you can hunt any spiritual beast. But this is not possible on Tianjie Island. Even if you are hunting a weak spiritual beast, once this kind of thing is exposed, then It will be a huge trouble.

There is no other reason. On this Tianjie Island, spiritual beasts are cultivators just like humans. Even when they are powerful, they can turn into human forms. On the road to pursuing the way of heaven, everyone is on an equal footing with each other.

The South Island of Tianjie Island is the well-known island of spirit beasts, where a powerful spirit beast clan gathers. Its power and strength are not inferior to any human sect.

The message issued by the spirit beast clan made it clear that anyone on Tianjie Island who dares to hunt a spirit beast will be regarded as an enemy of the entire spirit beast clan and will fight to the death. And this appeal, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the spirit beast clan, has been recognized by several top sects on the Central Island.

In this way, not only the lives of the spirit beasts on the south island of Tianjie Island, but also the lives of spirit beasts distributed on other islands, have been protected to a certain extent.

However, the real sphere of influence of the spirit beast clan is ultimately limited to the southern island of Tianjie Island. Although human masters in other places may be taboo in public, they may not really take this statement seriously in private. Something happened.

Just like Meng Tong, a cultivator who is used to beating teeth as a sacrifice, he will never kill any spiritual beast indiscriminately in front of others, but behind the scenes, he has eaten as many as eighty weak spiritual beasts in his mouth. Anyway, as long as no one is discovered and reported, it will be done without anyone noticing or ghosts noticing.

"I wonder what kind of spiritual beast it could be!" Meng Tong's eyes lit up, and he immediately turned around and began to search around for the shadow just now.

It has been more than 20 days since he came to Yingxin Pavilion. Due to the surrounding environment, he has not been able to eat a bite of meat. After holding it in for so many days, his mouth has already faded out of bird feathers. At this time, a spiritual beast came to the door. There is no reason to let it go.

Both the inside and outside of Lingyu Hall are heavily guarded, but only in the corridor before the entrance to the mining area, there are no guards.

This was convenient for Meng Tong. After all, if there were guards everywhere, he wouldn't be able to catch the spirit beasts openly, otherwise he would have to be arrested as a suspicious person.

However, Meng Tong searched around the corridor, but could not find the shadow of the spiritual beast just now. When he finally planned to give up and returned to the mining area angrily, he found the black and white figure again in front of the gate.

"Jujuan Bear?" Meng Tong's eyes suddenly widened as he looked at the young figure in front of him who was trying to sneak through the door.

Standing upright, it is less than half a person tall. It has a round head, a chubby body, and is covered with milky white fur. Only its eyes, ears and the ring of fur on its chest are dark. This is clearly a curly. Curly bear cub.

Of course, this cannot be said to be a pure cub. If we look at age alone, this curly bear is at least a dozen years old!
