Five Frozen Centuries

Chapter 266: Roast Meat

Wei Huo had saved Greenland to get a guide. As a messenger, he had to be familiar with the surrounding mountains. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen to be a messenger.

Besides, Greenland’s willpower was tough enough. Wei Huo could feel that.

Greenland was indeed a straightforward and strong-willed Scotsman. The Scots were just like the people of China’s great prairie. They lived in harsh environments at high altitudes and fed on grazing. The Scottish shepherd dogs helped them herd their area. Their fur was very long so they could survive in the harsh conditions of the land.

Greenland rubbed his temples. His head still hurt, and he felt dizzy. However, his strong willpower allowed him to survive.

He did not decline his benefactor’s request.

Wei Huo said, “Lead the way. Go and find the commander you mentioned. On the way, introduce the Western Continent to us. Don’t worry, food and safety are not a problem.”

Greenland told Wei Huo solemnly, “Your Excellency, you saved my life. Scottish people repay kindness. My life is yours, but I still have a small request.”

Wei Huo said, “Just say it.”

Greenland said, “Your Excellency, our commander is a brave, kind, and strong-willed person. I hope you can help him remove the Thinking Lock.”

Wei Huo said, “Wait until I see the commander you’re talking about. People in that position can’t remove the Thinking Lock easily. I know this better than you.”

Wei Huo had secretly removed the Thinking Locks on many people’s minds, but not everyone could accept this outcome. The collapse of their worldview made them mentally unstable. Some people would even commit suicide. Most people’s willpower was not firm enough. Not everyone’s willpower was firm if they had a higher position. However, the higher one’s position was, the greater the harm caused was.

Greenland sighed. “He is really a good man...”

Greenland then started leading the way. The Western Continent was different from the Northern Continent. Although there were steep mountains in the Northern Continent, there were also places that were flat and easy to walk on. However, the Western Continent was almost filled with rugged mountain paths. There was not a single blade of grass in these places, which were filled with jagged rocks. There were also all sorts of uneven mountain passes.

As they kept moving forward, they did not encounter any flat ground along the way. They almost crossed whole mountains.

As they walked through a valley, they were attacked by a group of Crawling Dragons. They were Rare-ranked creatures that looked like Western Dragons. They had scales on their bodies, but their limbs were similar to the limbs of beasts.

There were hundreds of them, and they all rushed over when they saw Wei Huo and the others. Then, Xiao Bin and Zhou Song attacked along with their pets. Hundreds of Crawling Dragons were killed in less than 10 minutes.

Greenland was shocked when he saw hundreds of Crawling Dragons get killed in an instant, but he praised them. “Great warriors, you’re too powerful. This power might be able to resist the Black Dragon that destroyed the world!”

Then, he found an empty space and built a fire before he said, “Benefactors, please let me show you my cooking skills. I’ll let you have a taste of Scottish roasted meat.”

Zhou Song, who was confused, said, “I’ve only heard of the chicken wings in Northern Orleans. What does Scottish roasted meat taste like?”

Greenland was confused. “Northern Orleans? I’ve never heard of it. Is it a famous place in the Northern Continent?”

Zhou Song was speechless.

Not every place that included the word ‘north’ was in the Northern Continent.

A few minutes later, Greenland placed the Crawling Dragon’s meat on burning charcoal and started roasting it. After a while, the fragrance of the meat spread out. Zhou Song and Xiao Bin could not help but swallow.

Ten minutes later, Greenland had roasted the meat until it was fragrant and tender. At that moment, he suddenly took out a bottle of sauce. It was unknown what material the sauce was made of. However, as soon as the lid was opened, everyone smelled a mellow fragrance.

He poured the sauce on the meat and plated it on huge tree leaves before serving it to everyone.

No one was polite or arrogant. Everyone, including Wei Huo, was holding the leaves and chewing on the meat.

The first bite made a look of enjoyment appear on everyone’s faces.

Zhou Song said, “This taste is really unique, especially the sauce. It’s really delicious.”

Xiao Bin had been the City Lord for a few years and had eaten many delicacies. However, this was the first time he had come to the Western Continent to taste the delicacies there. He thus said, “This is really a unique delicacy. Every race has its own unique delicacies.”

Wei Huo savored it carefully. Moments later, he asked, “What material is this sauce made of? Do you have the seeds?”

Wei Huo started looking for seeds again. There were already many different types of plant seeds stored in his storage space. These plants were all very special. They either had a unique taste or unique effects. They were all very unusual.

Upon hearing Wei Huo’s question, Greenland immediately said, “This is made of a plant called Barna Beans. Some other plants are used as supplementary ingredients.”

Greenland said that he did not have the seeds of such plants on him. However, if he arrived in the city under the command of the commander, he could obtain the seeds of these plants.

Zhou Song had followed Wei Huo for a long time, and Xiao Bin had followed Wei Huo for a period of time. They had both realized that Wei Huo liked collecting special plants, mostly fruits and crops, but they did not know why he collected them.

After eating the roasted meat, the group continued their journey. Along the way, they encountered more and more Crawling Dragons. The Crawling Dragons’ heads would often peek out. Some would move alone, some would fight in groups, and others were ferocious. They would pounce on any living creature they saw.

However, no matter how many Crawling Dragons there were, they could not do anything to Wei Huo and the others. As they gradually entered the Western Continent, some gigantic Crawling Dragons started appearing. These Crawling Dragons were similar to crocodiles. They were strong and had sharp teeth. One of them had even reached the Epic stage.

However, even an Epic-ranked creature could not do much to Wei Huo. Without needing Wei Huo to do anything, Zhou Song and Xiao Bin charged forward and killed the Epic-ranked Crawling Dragon.

After killing the Epic-ranked Crawling Dragon, they walked for a long time. During this process, Wei Huo’s path underwent some weird changes. Meanwhile, his Nirvana Domain began a new transformation.

This time, the plants he passed by were no longer dead. There was a weird change. The plants were not dead, but their leaves had turned black. The fruits that grew were also black. The trees seemed to have stopped photosynthesizing and were growing faster at night.

If an animal accidentally ate the leaves or fruit of these plants, its newly-grown fur would turn black. At the same time, its temperament would change.
