I Just Won't Play By The Book Chapter 69

“Katz… Katz…”

Sitting around the barbecue rack, Wu Qingce and a few other mystic beasts were eating the Soul Devouring Beast crispy roasted meat. Every bite was an extreme enjoyment.

“Brother Jiang, do you have any more chili?” Wu Qingce, who had swallowed another big mouthful of meat, looked at Jiang Beiran and asked. Jiang Beiran, who had finished the meat and was drinking sour plum soup to digest his food, glanced at him and said, “Don't be greedy for a moment of pleasure. Have you forgotten the last time you stayed in the toilet for an entire day?”

“I can't care about it anymore. Your roasted meat is a heaven match with chili. It's a waste of God's gift if I don't eat it with chili.”

Jiang Beiran sighed and smiled. He then grabbed a handful of chilies and handed it to Wu Qingce.

“Thank you!” Wu Qingce took the chili with both hands. Just as he was about to take the meat, he found that there was only one piece left on the plate.

Without any hesitation, Wu Qingce's right hand reached out towards the meat, but he did not expect the other three claws to also grab it.

One hand and three claws were competing in the air, and a low growl came out of his throat.

Jiang Beiran did not intend to stop him. It was always a pleasant experience to see his own food being snatched by others.

In the end, one man and three beasts tore the meat into four portions and ate them separately.

“Ah! Brother Jiang's delicious food is the best in the world!” Wu Qingce rubbed his round tummy and shouted.

“Come, drink some sour plum soup to relieve the spiciness.” Jiang Beiran said as he handed a porcelain bowl to Wu Qingce.

Wu Qingce, who was so full that he did not want to move, reached out his hands and took it. “Thank you, Brother Jiang.”

“Gulp… gulp…”

After taking two mouthfuls of the refreshing sour plum soup, Wu Qingce shook his head and said, “Brother Jiang, this sour plum soup has a strong taste. It's cold on the mouth and moderate in sweetness and sourness. It tastes like a pure mash in your mouth. It's really wonderful!”

“These are all the words I taught you.” Although Jiang Beiran said so, he was secretly happy.

as se

Seeing that Wu Qingce was enjoying himself so much, the three mystic beasts couldn't help but look at Jiang Beiran with a fawning expression, wanting to ask for a taste.

“I only brought a pot. There's no share for you guys.” After ruthlessly rejecting the three mystic beasts, Jiang Beiran stood up and started to pack up the barbecue tools.

“Oh, I almost forgot.” Jiang Beiran, who was packing up the pitchfork, suddenly raised his head and shouted to the Blood Shadow Beast, “Open your mouth.”

The Blood Shadow Beast, who was still feeling regretful about not being able to drink the sour plum soup, thought that there must be something else delicious, so it immediately opened its bloody mouth. “Whoosh!”

SC

A white pill flew into its mouth and instantly melted into its saliva.

“Gulp…”

Before Blood Shadow Beast didn't taste anything, it looked at Jiang Beiran with a pair of puzzled eyes.

Jiang Beiran looked at the confused Blood Shadow Beast. He answered casually as he tidied up the supporting frame, “The pill that I gave you is called Dead in A Month Pill. It's made from seven different poisonous insects and the red crane crown. After you eat it, it won't cause any trouble at first. But after a month, your mystic energy will flow backward, and your body will explode and die. Oh, maybe if your body is strong enough, you can still die with your body intact.”

As it listened to Jiang Beiran's casual words, more sweat appeared on the Blood Shadow Beast's head. In the end, it hurriedly put its claws into its mouth and dug at its throat. “Don't waste your energy. The poison has already spread throughout your body. You can't spit it out.”

“Awoo, awoo… #@* & Amp;”

When it heard that the poison could no longer be spat out, the Blood Shadow Beast rolled on the ground anxiously. Its voice was full of grievances and complaints. Although Jiang Beiran could not understand what it was saying, he could roughly guess from its tone. “Don't be anxious. If there is poison, there is an antidote. If you come to this birch forest every other month, he will come and give you the antidote.” Jiang Beiran said as he pointed at Wu Qingce.

“Ah? me?” Wu Qingce pointed at himself and asked.

“Of course!” After burying the charcoal with soil, Jiang Beiran clapped his hands and looked at the Blood Shadow Beast. “The poison will be completely cured after you consume 17 or 18 antidotes, it will be over before you know it. Now, let's go and see the Thunder Spirit Flower.”

Although Blood Shadow Beast was extremely wronged, it definitely could not beat Jiang Beiran in a fight, so it could only follow obediently.

Therefore, the two people and three beasts slowly walked to the depths of the birch forest. Under the lead of the Blood Shadow Beast, Jiang Beiran quickly saw the Thunder Spirit Flower that was about to bloom.

“Wow… What a rich lightning energy.” Wu Qingce moved a little closer to the Thunder Spirit Flower and felt his hair stand on end. Even his hair had exploded.

Just as Jiang Beiran was about to go up and check the status of the Thunder Spirit Flower, two options suddenly popped up.

[ Option 1: Observe the Thunder Spirit Flower at close range. Reward for completion: Five Thunder Palm (black grade high tier)]

[ Option 2: Retreat to fifty meters. Reward: Random Basic skill point + 1]

“Huh!?” Jiang Beiran was stunned when he saw the two options. He only knew there was a Thunder Spirit Flower, but he did not know much about its details. From the option, it seemed to be quite dangerous.

After choosing option 2, Jiang Beiran shouted, “Everyone, retreat!”

Wu Qingce and the Blood Shadow Beast who understood Jiang Beiran's words quickly stepped back. Although the Thunder Patterned and Demon Beast didn't know what Jiang Beiran said, they quickly followed after them when they saw them step back. When Jiang Beiran retreated fifty meters away, a “boom” and the system notification ( Chosen quest completed. Reward: Go playing + 1] sounded at the same time.

Raising his head, Jiang Beiran saw a black cloud slowly drifting over.

“F*ck… Tit's tribulation!?”

Jiang Beiran could understand what was going on. This “tribulation cloud” was obviously attracted by the Thunder Spirit Flower.

Jiang Beiran was lamenting that this flower really had a card up its sleeve when a bolt of lightning cut through the night sky and struck down.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, the lightning struck the Thunder Spirit Flower that was still in its bud state. After being struck by the lightning, not only was it fine, but it even began to bloom.

“Amazing.”

Although Jiang Beiran did not know much about the Thunder Spirit Flower, he still knew that normal Thunder Spirit Flowers did not need to undergo a 'tribulation' when they bloomed. From this, it could be seen that the flower in front of him was definitely a special species.

Although ordinary Thunder Spirit Flowers couldn't be listed on the rare flower list or the rare flower list, this one… might be a special one.

While Jiang Beiran was thinking, the second bolt of lightning struck down again.

“Again!?”

Seeing the second bolt of lightning strike the Thunder Spirit Flower steadily, Jiang Beiran and his companions were stunned. This flower was too sturdy.

After nine consecutive bolts of lightning, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and the Thunder Spirit Flower finally bloomed.

This was also the first time Jiang Beiran saw such a miraculous blooming process. The top of the Thunder Spirit Flower, which had its petals fully unfolded, was blue. The lower it went, the lighter it became. When it reached the stamen, it was almost white. The flower's center was a rare silver-gray color. It was straight and upright, like a lightning rod. At the same time, three options appeared in front of Jiang Beiran.

[ Option 1: Pick the flower later. Reward: Dance of the Thousand Lanterns (earth grade middle tier)]

[ Option 2: Directly consume the Thunder Spirit Flower. Reward: Mystical Steps (black grade middle tier)]

( Option 3: Pick the Thunder Spirit Flower and leave immediately. Reward: Random basic skill points + 1]
