C226 Passing by

Zheng Lei stood beneath the Fusang Tree and saw numerous beams of light suddenly appear in the sky. His heart was filled with joy as he smiled and said, "The sun has finally come out."

"Hey, boy, the sun is up. Where are you? Waiting to be baked dry? " The young man stood outside the Fusang Tree and shouted at Zheng Lei.

Zheng Lei turned his head to look at the sun. At this moment, the sun wasn't as hot as he had imagined, but it was the sun after all. No matter if it was real or not, it wouldn't be too far off.

Zheng Lei didn't dare to be arrogant. He didn't want to be roasted until he was dried. Hearing the young man's words, he didn't say anything else and turned around to leave.

Just as he took a few steps forward, Zheng Lei felt a surge of energy coming from behind him. Although it was fire elemental energy, he noticed that the fire elemental energy that had submitted to him was obviously not of the same level.

In the three kingdoms, one was like a firefly, while the other was like the splendor of the moon.

In almost an instant, Zheng Lei could feel the fire elemental energy around him giving birth to a submissive will, even affecting him. He even had the impulse to turn around and bow down to the sun.

Zheng Lei gritted his teeth and increased his speed. Bearing with the immense pressure, he shot out of the Fusang Tree's range like an arrow.

When he turned around to look, the sun had already risen. In the area around the Fusang Tree, except for the Fusang Tree, all the plants had been burned away without a trace. Even though Zheng Lei had a large amount of fire elemental energy protecting his body, he still felt a faint burning sensation on his back.

When the sun didn't exist in this world, Zheng Lei didn't have much of a reaction. But now that the sun had appeared, Zheng Lei suddenly realized that the world was complete after the sun had appeared.

"Kid, what do you feel? It's pretty good, isn't it? " The young man walked up to Zheng Lei and asked.

"En, so cool. You can try it."

"Oh, come on, I'm not going to be broken up by the sun. I still have a lot of youth left to waste. Isn't it a pity that it's gone like this?" "Besides, I haven't finished all the dishes you made, so I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"If you really don't have any left, then there's no need to feel regretful."

"Hmm? "Why?"

"What's there to regret about if he's gone?"

The young man blinked and said, "That's right. I didn't expect you to be so open-minded."

"What's the use of seeing it? It was something that belonged to him. If he worked hard, it would be his, not his. Even if he took it, he might not be able to use it with his life. "Just like this sun, if I were to run up to the Fusang Tree and steal the egg off, I probably won't even be left with anything." Zheng Lei watched with lingering fear

"Sun egg? "Hahahaha, this is the first time I've heard someone say this, it seems like this trip wasn't in vain." The young man smiled happily.

"In vain? That means, you're not a godly being? " Zheng Lei asked.

"Mm, you can say yes, you can also say no." The young man looked up at the sun and said.

"What's going on? Are you, or aren't you? "

"Where are you at Water God? Did he say 'they'?"

"You mean that schizophrenia?" Zheng Lei asked in surprise.

"Psychosis? But if you can figure it out, they're not schizophrenic. They really came from two parts, just like I do now. "

"So you also have schizophrenia? Damn, why am I always suffering from schizophrenia? How are you guys? "

The young man helplessly said, "I've already said that it's not about schizophrenia. Basically, in every trial, the guardians are made up of two parts, but according to the circumstances, different parts will be presented in front of you. I've directly divided them into two parts, but the other part hasn't come either, do you understand?"

"Oh, I see. You're not well yet." Zheng Lei nodded.

"Damn!" Don't you understand? Forget it, I'm not going to explain it to you anymore. I know it's not going to work, so you should start cooking. "

Zheng Lei nodded his head and said, "Mm, okay, once the dishes are ready, I can smoothly pass the test. After carefully calculating, I don't know how long I've been in there, and I don't know if the outside world has changed."

"You still don't know?" The young man asked doubtfully.

"Do you mean the situation where time stops?" Zheng Lei asked while preparing the items.

"Ah, yes, so you know."

"Of course I know." As he spoke, Zheng Lei's hands didn't stop moving.

Gradually, the young man stopped talking, because the ingredients in front of him made him drool once more.

After everything had been tidied up, Zheng Lei held the pot that the young man had given him. Without even moving his hands, a fire suddenly appeared at the bottom of the pot. It appeared out of thin air where it should be.

Zheng Lei discovered that the dishes made by controlling the fire elemental energy were much more delicious than usual. The control over fire elemental energy allowed Zheng Lei to easily control the temperature of the dishes and his understanding of the wood elements allowed him to understand what temperature these ingredients required.

At the start, Zheng Lei was still a little unfamiliar. As he continued to proficient himself, Zheng Lei's movements were like a continuous thread. One dish after another was completed in Zheng Lei's hands and then eaten by the young man at the first possible moment.

Strangely, Zheng Lei did not feel the slightest bit of hunger. Although he was very confident in the dishes he cooked, he did not have the urge to eat them.

After Zheng Lei put down the wok and finished his happy work, empty plates were placed in front of him. The floor was a mess, filled with leftover plates, while the young man sat in the middle of the pile with satisfaction. His belly was bulging and he looked like he was eating himself full as he gently rubbed his stomach.

"How's the taste?" Zheng Lei said as he carried the last dish.

The young man rubbed his belly and said, "It's really too delicious. I can't hold it in any longer. I've finished all the dishes."

"Have you eaten your fill?" Zheng Lei asked.

"I'm going to die." The young man said as he gently rubbed his belly.

"But there's still one more dish, what should we do?" Why don't we just collapse? " After he finished speaking, Zheng Lei acted as if he wanted to throw it away.

The young man quickly shouted, "Hey, don't …"

Zheng Lei turned around and looked at the young man, and pretended to be serious: "What's wrong? Is there anything else? "

"Don't fall, I still want to eat."

"You've already eaten so much, and you still want to eat?" Zheng Lei chuckled.

The young man nodded with some hesitation and said, "Alright, you can give it to me."

He took the dish and looked at it, then raised his head and curiously asked, "What's the name of this dish?"

"More than a year, how can we cook without fish?"

"Fish?" Where did you get the fish? How come I didn't know there were fish here? " The young man obviously didn't believe him.

Zheng Lei smiled mysteriously and said, "Eat a mouthful first, then you can speak."

The young man dubiously picked up a piece of meat and placed it in his mouth. He exclaimed, "Why is it a radish?"

"Radishes, of course. There's no fish here."

The young man picked up another piece of radish and gently placed it in his mouth, carefully savoring the taste.

After a while, the young man reached out his hand and lightly patted his stomach. Instantly, his stomach slowly returned to its normal state, as if he had lost everything in it with a single pat.

"Alright, you've passed the test. Don't make the rest of the soup, I'll be eating until I'm full if you can cook it. Besides, I also saw during your cooking process that your control over the fire has reached the required level, so you can leave." The young man slowly ate the last plate as he spoke.

"You're letting me go just like that? "So you don't have anything to give me?" Zheng Lei said as he looked at the young man.

The young man stared blankly for a moment before asking, "No, don't tell me that I still need to give you something?"

"Uh, if you don't have it, then forget it." Zheng Lei turned around and left.

"Hey, wait!" The young man called out to Zheng Lei.

"Is there something else?"

"I forgot to tell you that you've already gotten the thing you obtained in the first two stages. Actually, you've already gotten the thing corresponding to the third stage. It's just that you need to extract it yourself."

Zheng Lei nodded his head and said, "Ok, thank you. I'll be going then."

The young man didn't tell Zheng Lei the way out. Instead, he told Zheng Lei to look for it himself. If he really couldn't find it, then the young man would give him pointers.

The two of them understood each other. Since the young man did not say anything, Zheng Lei did not ask. He had a hunch that the exit for this stage would be above the Fusang Tree. However, the current sun was still radiating its own rays of light to its heart's content. Just by standing at the edge of the Fusang Tree, Zheng Lei already felt an enormous pressure.

He silently waited at the edge of the Fusang Tree, waiting for the sun to set. He guessed that when the sun set, the gate to the third trial would open, so he stared at the Fusang Tree without blinking.

The sun didn't set for long. At the last moment, a black hole suddenly appeared above the Fusang Tree.

When Zheng Lei saw the black hole, without a word, he charged toward it.

Although the sun had already set, it was still a sun. From the moment Zheng Lei started charging, his clothes could no longer withstand the boundless firepower and began to slowly burn.

Even the fire elemental energy around him was trembling violently.

Strands of fire elemental energy completely disappeared as Zheng Lei ran. When Zheng Lei reached the black hole, all that was left was a fist-sized ball of fire elemental energy.

However, time did not allow him to feel pity for his fire elemental energy. He jumped into the black hole without any hesitation and his vision blurred as he arrived at a very quiet place.

In front of him was a small thatched hut surrounded by flowers. It was a sea of flowers. And the little thatched cottage floated in the sea of flowers.

Is this the fourth test? According to the sequence of events, this stage should be the Earth level trial. Zheng Lei calculated in his heart.

He made a guess but no one answered him. He lowered his head and looked at his hand. In it was the last bit of fire elemental energy. With a flick of his mind, the fire elemental energy began to wander all over his body.

Then Zheng Lei looked at the thatched hut in front of him and thought: Whose house is this? Could this be the home of the Earth God? The Earth God was one of the four great gods of their sect. Thinking about it, it shouldn't be her, right?

Just as Zheng Lei's mind was filled with doubts, the thatched hut's door slowly opened. The moment his attention was diverted away, he saw a woman slowly walking out from the house.

Zheng Lei turned around and lightly bowed to the woman, but did not say anything.

The woman looked at Zheng Lei for a long time before saying, "Youngster, if you're passing by my place, the road ahead is very far. Why don't you come and drink a cup of tea before leaving?"

Zheng Lei was puzzled. Passed by? Am I still in Fire Mountain Pass?

"Uh, hello. May I ask, where am I now?" Zheng Lei asked.

"You're just on your way."

"I'm on my way somewhere."

"To a place you can go and want to go." The woman said softly.

Zheng Lei thought for a moment and couldn't figure out where he was. He bowed to the woman and said, "Oh, thank you. I still need to hurry, so I won't disturb you."

He had thought that the woman would let her go, but the woman said, "It's a long way. You'd better have a cup of tea before you go."

Zheng Lei stared at the woman as he carefully examined her. Slowly, he discovered that there was a trace of majesty written on her face, as well as a sense of motherhood. These two things that seemed to be in conflict with each other were actually with such a person.

"Well, thank you very much then." Zheng Lei felt that it was impossible for him to reject her. He didn't even have a single thought. It was as if he had to follow everything a woman told him.

The woman pushed the door open with a smile and welcomed Zheng Lei inside.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. Other than the bed, there was only a small square table.

Zheng Lei sat in front of a small square table, quietly waiting for this woman to finish her work.

After a long while, the woman walked to the small square table with a teapot in her hand. She lightly poured a cup of tea and said, "Please enjoy."

Zheng Lei picked up the cup of tea. The refreshing fragrance of the tea immediately stimulated his nose. Even though Zheng Lei didn't know how to taste tea, he still felt that this cup of tea was extremely delicious.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zheng Lei instantly felt a strange feeling. He felt as if something had turned in his stomach. It was only for a moment, but Zheng Lei could clearly feel it.

"Young man, there are still some snacks here. Take your time." The woman got up and left.

Zheng Lei turned his head to look at the dessert plate and discovered that it was split into two parts, half black and the other half white.

"What kind of snacks are these?" Zheng Lei picked up a piece of black dessert and examined it closely. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't tell what it was made of, so he opened his mouth and put it in.

Something strange happened. While he was holding the snacks with his hand, they had a physical feeling to them. However, when he put the snacks into his mouth, his mouth did not feel the snacks at all.

"How can this be?" Zheng Lei's heart skipped a beat. Lowering his head to look at the plate, he saw the empty plate lying on top of the table.

I'm sorry I'm late. It's time to get married. "(u) pu)
