I Can Record Wonders

Chapter 176: Ghost Shadows in the Mine, Desert Wolves Howling

Spirit Turtle Island, Ao Tou Island.

The night enveloped the entire sea area.

The waves repeatedly crashed against the shore.

The three Scenic Masters were still gathered around the "White Turtle Map" as before.

In the center, the "White Turtle Map" still floated, but the white turtle in the map had turned black.

"The Secret Realm should have turned dark as well."

Red Sun Scenic Master looked at the rolled-up map and muttered softly.

Beside him, White Lotus Scenic Master didn't speak. She was disguised as "Xuan Twenty-Nine" and rarely spoke to avoid revealing her true identity.

On the other side, Black Feather Scenic Master responded, "Yes, the excitement is just beginning now."

...

White Turtle Secret Realm.

As night fell, the originally gloomy mine became pitch black.

Drip...

Drip...

Water droplets frequently fell in the mine.

In the darkness, the footsteps became hesitant.

"What a damn place. Where is the exit?"

Chen Mo stopped and leaned his upper body against the wall, sliding down along the stone wall.

He had been wandering in the mine all day, but instead of finding the exit, he only got more lost.

"If I couldn't find it during the day, there's no hope at night."

In the pitch-black mine, Chen Mo smiled bitterly, shook his head, and extended his hand. A maple leaf appeared in front of him.

Rustle...

The maple leaf turned into a flame, instantly illuminating the entire mine.

Chen Mo looked around. It was dim, dilapidated, and full of pits and holes.

Now, every mine seemed the same to him.

In the end, he gave up trying to identify them and took out a token from his pocket.

"I wonder how my senior brothers are doing."

"Worst case scenario, I'll crush it and leave."

Chen Mo pouted with a hint of frustration, but quickly dismissed the thought.

"No, I can't let people look down on me, especially her..."

For some reason, a white figure flashed through his mind.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo put away the token again. Regardless, he should rest in the cave for the night before making any decisions.

"White Turtle Old Man" was a master of formation, so there must be a maze in this cave that prevented him from finding the way out.

But how could he break this maze?

Chen Mo sat cross-legged in the corner, pondering a way out.

Rustle...

Just then, the flickering flame suspended in mid-air.

He furrowed his brows slightly, feeling dissatisfied. "There's wind here? How is that possible?"

As the flame flickered, the shadows in the mine also swayed.

And in that moment, Chen Mo suddenly opened his eyes.

"Yes, this is clearly a cave, so where is this wind coming from?!"

"The exit?! It must be the exit!"

He was ecstatic and immediately moved his finger. The burning maple leaf floated ahead.

The flame was small, only illuminating three feet in front of him.

Looking further, he could only see darkness.

Rustle...

Another sway.

"Hehe, the exit must be in the direction where the wind is coming from!"

Chen Mo was overjoyed and quickly widened his eyes to look.

But in the next moment, the smile on his face froze.

A faint orange light fell on the wall in front of him.

Among the pitted minerals, a shadow flashed by.

...

The desert night was much cooler.

For Zhou Ye, who had been staying on Red Mountain all year round, it was a kind of luxury.

Seeing that night had fallen and the strong wind showed no signs of stopping, Zhou Ye had no choice but to find a wind-sheltered sand dune to hide behind.

The desert during the day is already enough to give people a headache, and at night he doesn't dare to expect anything more.

Zhou Ye understands that this desert is a huge maze.

Relying solely on blind searching, not only will he not be able to find a way out, but he will also exhaust himself.

In that case, it's better to hide and conserve Essence Nurturing.

"I wonder how my junior brothers are doing?"

The yellow sand is unusually soft, and sitting on it feels strangely comfortable.

A trace of exhaustion flashes across Zhou Ye's face as he casually takes out a black pot from his space and places it in front of him.

He pours some water into the black pot and then infuses it with Origin Qi, causing flames to immediately burst out from the bottom of the pot.

"Regardless, I can't go to sleep on an empty stomach."

As a gourmet, Zhou Ye can give up cultivation, but he can never give up eating!

Sleeping on an empty stomach is torture for him!

Gurgle~

Soon, large and small bubbles start to boil in the water in the black pot.

Hot steam rises in clusters.

"The water boils so quickly, and it's even using indirect heat~"

After saying that, he takes out various seasonings and medicinal ingredients from his space and adds them all to the boiling water.

In just a few breaths, a strong aroma starts to emanate from the black pot.

Zhou Ye stirs the soup and when it reaches the right temperature, he reaches into his pocket again, but this time he takes out various ingredients.

Among them, there is actually a large lump of unidentified beast meat, weighing over ten kilograms, with a mix of fat and lean, a reddish color, and a very appetizing appearance!

A smile appears on Zhou Ye's lips.

Swish~

Astral Projection of a kitchen knife.

Swish swish swish~

The knife flashes continuously, and the lump of beast meat visibly diminishes.

Behind the lonely sand dune, Zhou Ye is enjoying his meal.

Gulp~

They are tender and juicy when eaten.

Unlike the previous swallowing sound, this time it seems a bit difficult.

In the nearby black pot, pieces of white meat are tumbling in the boiling water.

Zhou Ye picks up a piece and eagerly stuffs it into his mouth.

He doesn't think it's an ordinary wolf.

But in the blink of an eye, the large lump of beast meat from earlier has disappeared.

The sound from afar comes again.

While others are fighting for their lives in the Secret Realm, Zhou Ye is showing off his hot pot.

This time it's the sound of him swallowing saliva.

Clatter~

As soon as they are cut off, they fall directly into the pot.

He has a spatial token that can directly store live creatures or fresh ingredients.

Zhou Ye's eyes widen, and the fat on his face trembles.

"Delicious~"

"That... is the howl of a wolf?!"

"Delicious~"

Eating hot pot and singing...

The meat slices are as white as lotus flowers, with a mix of fat and lean, and after being cooked with spices, they not only have the fragrance of meat but also the aroma of seasonings.

"Ah~"

The chopsticks, along with the piece of meat, fall into the pot at the same time.

Zhou Ye's movements suddenly stop.

And there are no other junior brothers competing with him, so he enjoys it even more.

The fierce beasts in the desert are also hungry!

While others eat shaved noodles, Zhou Ye directly shaves the meat.

This lump of beast meat was bought from the Red Mountain small market and stored in it before, so it is still very fresh when taken out.

The meat slices are as thin as cicada wings, and can even be seen through the flames.

The rich aroma drifts in the wind to a distance.

"So fragrant~"

With each stroke, a piece of meat flies out.

"Ah~"

Although the desert night is cold, he is sweating profusely and his stomach is growling.

In his hand are two chopsticks, with a translucent piece of meat trembling between them, emitting a faint white steam.
