35 -34: Becoming Stronger by Eating Continuously_1
As evening approached, Little Loach discovered a fist-sized pearl that emitted a faint glow near a small mountain-like rock at the bottom of the river!
Little Loach was extremely excited, but Owen Bertram was very alert, holding back Little Loach and not letting it rush forward immediately.
In the dim riverbed, this radiance quickly attracted a large school of fish.
These Fierce Fish had curved knife-like fins, each about three feet long, with tiny mouths but thick armor-like scales.
It made one doubt that the fish scale armor worn by Wood Dynasty soldiers could rival their defense.
There were at least a thousand of these fish, excitedly swimming around the glowing pearl, occupying a large area of water.
Suddenly, a peculiar wave erupted from beneath the pearl.
The river water shook violently, and the huge school of fish was instantly stunned.
Hidden far away, Little Loach was dazed by the power, causing Owen Bertram to suffer a severe headache as well.
When Little Loach recovered, it saw a giant clam appear beneath the pearl, as big as a two-story building.
The clamshell opened, revealing countless slender tendrils inside, so numerous they could not be counted!
Each tendril had pierced through a Fierce Fish, then all the tendrils retracted, swallowing the entire school of fish without any escaping.
The giant clam slowly closed, and the glowing pearl disappeared along with it.
Little Loach shuddered and obediently followed Owen Bertram’s arrangement to return, but Owen Bertram remembered this location.
Right now, Little Loach was no match for it, but in the future, who knew?
Little Loach’s growth rate was extremely fast, and that “future” would not be too far away.
Owen Bertram put today’s harvest into the Brocade Pouch.
Little Loach jumped ashore, transformed on the spot, its body rapidly shrinking, and Owen Bertram put it back into the Wooden Bottle.
Little Loach complained that it was very uncomfortable and too crowded.
“It’s because you’re too greedy and got fatter recently,” Owen Bertram complained, but he was already planning to find a bigger Gourd.
Upon returning to the village, Owen Bertram found out from Uncle and others that a new person had arrived in the village.
It was a middle-aged man with a sorrowful face named Blair.
Owen Bertram sighed secretly.
Such incidents were not uncommon, with new people coming into the village nearly every month.
Naturally, they were full of sorrow because they could no longer survive outside.
At the entrance to the village, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was nowhere to be seen.
Owen Bertram thought she had left and pouted his mouth.
“She didn’t even bother to say goodbye.”
…
In the County Town, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow had booked the entire third floor of the largest restaurant.
The delicacies in front of her had already been replaced six times.
The restaurant owner and a few helpers trembled in fear on the second floor, looking up in terror.
“Still eating?”
“And eating so fast.”
“Could it be some monster?
How can a normal person eat so much?”
Upstairs, Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow had finished eating again and knocked on the table.
“Why isn’t the next dish being served?”
With mournful expressions, the helpers shoved each other, none daring to go up.
The owner had no choice but to toughen up and serve the food himself.
After coming down, his legs were still trembling: “Hasn’t the person who went to the County Government Office to report the incident returned yet?”
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow knew that her behavior was somewhat startling, but she couldn’t help it.
She only started eating today and discovered that her Heterotext was somewhat unfathomable.
As long as she continuously enjoyed various delicacies, her Heterotext would absorb the “color, fragrance, and taste” to enhance her abilities!
Of course, cultivation could also work, but no cultivator could cultivate continuously.
But one could always eat.
Cultivators had powerful physiques, so this kind of worldly food was almost completely digested as soon as it entered their stomachs.
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was genuinely disheartened by Owen Bertram’s actions.
After discovering her Heterotext’s abilities, she decided to eat to her heart’s content.
Of course, it would affect her beautiful and elegant image.
But who knew her in this small county town?
As long as no acquaintances knew, it never happened!
There wouldn’t be such an opportunity when she returned to the city. freēwēbnovel.com
So Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow ate continuously until now.
The County Government officials finally arrived.
The owner, already covered in cold sweat, eagerly greeted them.
Then, he exclaimed excitedly, “County Magistrate, you came personally, that’s great!”
County Magistrate waved his hand to pass the owner, stepped onto the third floor, and saw Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow.
He cupped his fists and bowed, “Chief Flag, it is indeed you!
That’s great!”
The owner and a few helpers looked at each other in confusion.
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow’s face turned red as she delicately took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth.
“Oh, does the County Magistrate need me for something?”
“It’s about a confidential matter; shall we discuss it at the County Government Office?”
“Alright.”
As long as no one asks why she, a weak woman, can eat so much, it’s fine.
…
In the County Government Office, the County Magistrate instructed for eight colored cakes, eight kinds of candied fruit to be brought up, and a pot of tea: “Chief Flag, please try these.
They are made by the best pastry shops in our county.”
“Mmm, put them down, let’s talk about the main issue first,” Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow said.
However, her Jade Hand deftly picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth.
“This matter concerns the Extinct Village.
Recently, many cultivators have come to the county.
Some have already gone to the village.
These outsiders don’t know the dangers of the village, and my multiple attempts to dissuade them have been futile.”
“In the past few days, more and more cultivators have gathered, seemingly forming alliances, preparing to go to the Burning Hillock behind the Extinct Village and seize some mysterious treasure.”
The County Magistrate was heartbroken, “Aren’t they just courting death?!”
“Moreover, the evil energy in the Extinct Village is strange and inexplicable.
Even if these people don’t die, they will turn into demons.
Once they come out, they will surely cause harm.”
“I even suspect that the Team Leader and government official who got killed halfway were the cultivators’ doing.”
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow’s eyes flickered, asking, “What is the origin of that Burning Hillock?”
“There is no exact record in the County Chronicles, but it’s rumored among the people that a powerful demon is buried within, and it’s because of this demon’s persistence in death that the area around the Extinct Village is shrouded in evil energy.”
“It’s said that there was once a Great Realm cultivator who specifically investigated the Burning Hillock, but never came out.”
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was visibly surprised, “The Third Great Boundary?”
The County Magistrate gave a bitter smile, “It’s just a rumor, but according to our county’s records, no one has indeed ever come out from the Burning Hillock.”
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow nodded, “I will be staying in the Extinct Village for some time, and I will keep an eye on this matter.”
“Thank you so much!
I won’t disturb your rest any longer.”
The County Magistrate took his leave, leaving behind a table full of delicious food, which Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow was extremely satisfied with.
…
Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow set off early the next day to return to the Extinct Village.
Before leaving the city gate, she went back to the restaurant and left behind a box of silver: “From now on, send ten banquets outside the Extinct Village every day.”
The owner was dumbfounded.
What was this operation?!
“Not enough?”
The owner hurriedly shook his head, “It’s enough, enough!”
