Chapter 938: Chapter 239: Subduing the White Tiger and Refining the Divine Pill
The rice was cooked a bit slowly, but the snake meat was roasted first.
Chen Jie took a piece of snake meat, sprinkled salt and spices, mainly cumin.
Then Chen Jie put it into his mouth, and suddenly a burst of indescribable deliciousness surged as the fat exploded in his mouth.
The python’s meat was quite good, the flavor was mild, without any strange taste, the texture was delicate, and the fibers were relatively long, breaking apart into strips as you ate.
In terms of taste, it was somewhere between chicken and frog meat, having both the freshness of chicken and the delicacy of frog meat — truly delicious.
Chen Jie ate one piece and found the taste pleasant, so he cut several more pieces, skewered them on branches, and stuck them into the ground, while flames roasted them. Chen Jie thought for a moment and took out a small wine jar from his storage ring.
High-proof liquor, this Chen Jie kept as backup alcohol for disinfecting injuries outdoors.
However, the delicious snake meat tempted his craving for alcohol, perhaps he should sip a little.
Sizzle~ Ah!
Chen Jie drank with satisfaction, and at this moment the rice was ready too. Chen Jie ate a mouthful of fragrant rice, paired it with snake meat, and sipped his liquor.
Outside, the moon was bright and the stars sparse, truly adding to the experience.
While Chen Jie was eating and drinking, suddenly the entrance dimmed, and a giant creature walked in.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jie shivered.
With a wave, he drew out the Chrysalis Short Blade, and at this moment, the giant creature that had entered also froze.
Thus, man and beast stood there in a standoff.
After a long time, the giant creature wanted to leave, but its injuries were too severe, coupled with fatigue, excessive blood loss, and with a plop, it collapsed to the ground, unable to move.
Chen Jie was full of caution at this moment because the entity that entered his cave was none other than the White Tiger.
The White Tiger lay on the ground, eyeing Chen Jie cautiously, both human and tiger were extremely vigilant.
The scene was tense for a moment.
Holding the knife, Chen Jie stared at the fierce tiger before him and saw the White Tiger was gravely injured, its white fur stained red.
Covered in blood, it looked pitifully tragic, probably with only half its life left.
There it lay, regretting its decision to come here, not expecting this to be the cave of that hairless monkey. Though this monkey’s strength was average, with its current state, it feared it couldn’t defeat it.
If it suddenly attacked to kill, how could it resist?
Now it wanted to escape, but it couldn’t.
The severe injuries left it immobilized, an easy prey, truly escaping the wolf’s mouth only to fall into the hairless monkey’s trap.
Chen Jie frowned, considering the heavily injured creature — should he take the risk and kill it?
But a cornered beast is dangerous.
Yet if he killed it, the tiger’s penis and bones were great tonics.
But…
Chen Jie looked at the White Tiger lying there pitifully, hesitating to act — firstly, frightened it might retaliate in desperation and injure him; secondly, Chen Jie felt a bit of sympathy for the White Tiger.
At this moment, seeing Chen Jie motionless, the starving White Tiger opened its mouth and began eating the snake’s internal organs left by Chen Jie.
It hadn’t eaten properly for a day, only drinking a few gulps of wolf blood during the recent battle, but consumption was greater and not enough.
Pondering this, the White Tiger finished the snake’s internal organs, then stretched out its tongue to lick at its wounds.
Seeing this, Chen Jie thought for a moment and casually tossed a piece of roasted snake meat to the White Tiger.
Gurgle…
The White Tiger eyed the snake meat before it, hesitated, then opened its mouth to lick it, finding the taste quite nice.
Immediately, the White Tiger opened its mouth and crunched down, eating all the snake meat.
Even the bones it chewed to bits.
After finishing a piece of snake meat, the White Tiger raised its gaze to Chen Jie, eyes filled with longing and a hint of expectation.
Seeing this, Chen Jie tossed over two more pieces of roasted snake meat.
The White Tiger promptly devoured them, bones included.
Seeing the White Tiger looking over, Chen Jie asked casually: “Want more?”
To his surprise, the White Tiger nodded.
Chen Jie was taken aback: good heavens, it could understand human speech.
Chen Jie asked: “Can you understand what I’m saying?”
The White Tiger nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Jie was delighted, having something to talk about was great, being able to relate more than a mere beast.
Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at it and asked: “Hungry?”
The White Tiger nodded, and Chen Jie threw all the roasted snake meat over, and the White Tiger ate.
Chen Jie added: “Let’s agree then, I’ll treat you to meat, and you won’t bite me, alright?”
The White Tiger nodded.
Chen Jie said: “Ah, that’s it, we’ll be friends. In life, man, cough, tawny creatures like us, a friend is a road. Look at your beastly relations, tangled up like that.”
The White Tiger ate meat with a puzzled expression.
It understood the word ‘friends,’ but the words that followed, not a bit.
But it didn’t stop it from wolfing down its meal, now looking at Chen Jie with a face full of expectation.
Seeing it like this, Chen Jie looked at the peeled raw python, tossed it over saying: “Here, eat.
The White Tiger bit into the bloody raw python, took two bites, paused, then threw the python back.
Chen Jie looked surprised: “All full?”
The White Tiger remained silent, only shook its head, eyes fixed on the fire.
Seeing this, Chen Jie was stunned, asking the White Tiger: “Want it roasted?”
The White Tiger might not understand what roasting was, merely continued pointing at the fire.
Chen Jie laughed and said: “Okay, you rascal know how to eat, you’re probably the first tiger in the tiger world to enjoy cooked food.”
