Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 646 - 53: Exploring the Domain of Senluo

(Thanks to the book friend "Jiliao Chengshuang" for the generous reward)

From the moment Qiongqi died, Tang Xian was already certain that it would be difficult to find another creature in this world that posed a fatal threat to him. The subsequent battles would probably only have two phases, a boring bout of trading blows, followed by it turning into a unilateral slaughter by him.

Or one could say from the moment he encountered Tang, this world was not much different from the Pyramid World; he had truly squeezed into the top of the food chain.

But he remained very alert; in this world rife with countless monsters, Tang Xian was convinced that the Court of Myriad Beasts must still have some hidden depths. What he needed to do was to continue to perfect himself.

Further west of the Nether Valley, on human maps, it has always been marked in red.

For humanity, it was a forbidden land.

Indeed, some brave souls had formed teams to venture into these lands, paving the way for others to follow. Even though the work Tang Xian was doing delved much deeper than those pioneers, he didn't let this make him arrogant. His heart was always filled with gratitude towards the scholars who had summarized various kinds of knowledge with their lives over the past few centuries.

"According to the exploratory guides left by the wise predecessors, after crossing the Nether Valley, what follows is the Evil Senluo Domain. This is a vast region, significantly larger than the Tianque Plains where your clansmen once stayed. It's a dense forest of Marshal Trees. There are quite a few calamity-level and disaster-level creatures."

Passing the time on the road, Tang Xian would also educate Bai Mansheng, Tang Xiaojiu, and others.

Bai Mansheng found that humanity was indeed a very magical race. In the stories she read, and in Tang Xian's narrations, this race, reptilian in its perseverance, always managed to accomplish many great feats that were hard to imagine.

It seemed very hard to estimate the limits of this race.

The Evil Senluo Domain, in Tang Xian's view, was a jungle that truly deserved the title of "sea" even more than the Sea of Trees, except that this region's flora was very uniform, consisting solely of huge Marshal Trees.

This type of tree met all the needs of the animals dwelling in the trees, thick and lofty with abundant foliage. The countless Marshal Trees spread across this jungle also gave the Evil Senluo Domain a sense of depth, making the already vast place seem even more extensive.

Tang's group had a smooth journey and arrived at the border of the Evil Senluo Domain.

The food they ate along the way was Qiongqi meat.

Very few people eat cat meat because it's sour and cooking it requires a high level of culinary skill.

Qiongqi is not in the feline family, nor is its meat as sour as that of cats; it resembles a tiger with wings. But its meat is delcious.

Tang Xian compared and felt that this could be categorized as tiger meat.

Unfortunately, slaying Qiongqi and consuming its flesh did not bestow him with Qiongqi's ability to sever everything.

Tang Xian became increasingly anxious; dealing with the Court of Myriad Beasts was secondary, while his true goal was to improve himself.

He had acquired unlimited defensive power, but lacked basic offensive capabilities and reaction speed.

Even in terms of telekinesis, he wanted to enhance his abilities.

The expansion of these abilities had hitherto made no progress—zero.

The experience of being down on his luck truly wasn't pleasant. Tang Xian had tried some metaphysical approaches as well.

Along the way, he had performed many ritual killings full of ceremonial significance, such as choosing specific weather, specific times, specific body parts, but all to no avail.

Tang Xian felt the malice of this world, but all he could do was continue to hunt according to Ju Mang's list.

After arriving at the border of the Evil Senluo Domain, Tang Xian did not hurry to venture further inside.

Even with his sense of smell, he could not detect the entire scope of the Evil Senluo Domain, so he first set up camp in an area rarely tread by others.

By now, he didn't need anything like red line grass; in this place, such plants had long since disappeared, and for the creatures of Evil Senluo Domain, the efficacy of red line grass was very weak. There were many disaster-level creatures here, and Tang Xian even discovered several calamity-level creatures.

Merely within the range of his olfactory detection, he already felt that this place was far more dangerous than people's imagined red zones.

...

...

Tang Xian remained calm. After setting up the tent, his first course of action was to start cooking food, at the same time instructing Tang Xiaojiu and Tang to learn as well.

Tang was not dumb; although he spoke very bluntly, maybe because of his introverted nature, he was more focused and performed even better than Tang Xiaojiu.

Immediately, Tang Xiaojiu felt panicked. There was no one else to study with before, and good or bad depended on her alone. But now with another person, there were benchmarks and comparisons to be made, making it very easy to discover if she lazed around, right?

"Meat Meat brother, can you not study so seriously?"

"Tang Xian, food, I, study."

His speech was still very fragmented, but Tang Xiaojiu could understand him.

Tang Xiaojiu pouted her lips. Life is hard, the little fox sighed.

"Meat Meat brother, I'll give you tasty food later, so could you please stop reading?"

A few minutes later, Tang Xiaojiu decided to make another effort to try not to be the bottom of the class, even though there were only two people in the Tang Clan's tutoring class.

How did the saying go? A fox's nature is always cunning; little nine had already gained a sort of cleverness, thinking that if she couldn't compete in head-on study, she'd succeed through indirect, circuitous efforts.

But Tang was really like a living rock.

"More study, more to eat."

Tang Xiaojiu's eyes revealed a sense of disillusionment. It was too tough; Meat Meat brother had already discovered that the essence of studying was to have more food, making it impossible to trick him now.
