Gu Mengmeng was stunned when she saw what was in Gregory’s hands.
“This… isn’t this the wine barrel I left behind at Sauder?” Gu Mengmeng looked at Gregory with an astounded expression.
Gregory set down the barrel at the side before prying open the lid. “I brought over some of the hunted game you stored at Sauder.”
Gu Mengmeng remembered that Gregory had to fly three days straight without stopping to ferry Elvis, Lea and her from Sauder to the Motou mountains.
So Gregory had disappeared these six days… just to go to Sauder to get food for her?
Recalling her tirade against Gregory these past two days, Gu Mengmeng lowered her head sheepishly.
Gu Mengmeng had already gone without food for a day. So the moment Gregory put down the hunted game, Lea went forward to inspect that it was safe, before immediately starting to prepare a meal.
Gregory glanced at Elvis and Lea. “You two can also eat this.”
Elvis and Lea turned to look at Gregory doubtfully.
Gregory said, “I met a crippled snow fox at Sauder. He was the one who passed these foods to me.”
Crippled snow fox…
Gu Mengmeng frowned. “Cole has gone to Sauder again?! Damn, we just can’t rid ourselves of that evil guy. No, Hede, Jialue and Sandy are all at Sauder. I must turn back. I must go back now!”
Gregory took out a comb made from the horn of a large beast. “That fox asked me to pass this to you. He said he will help you watch over Sauder and to give this comb back to him when you return. As long as this item remains in one piece, he will also hand Sauder back to you in good condition.”
This meant that if this comb got broken, Sauder would undergo the same fate. If she lost it… would he butcher the entire Sauder?
Gu Mengmeng said, “Haha, that Cole sure knows how to brag. Did he take the wrong medicine? Butchering my Sauder—does he have the capability to do so?!”
Lea took the comb from Gregory and stroked it. He frowned before passing it over to Elvis. “Take a look.”
Elvis doubtfully received the comb and also gave it a couple of rubs. “Xiao Meng, Cole might really possess that capability now.”
Gu Mengmeng was puzzled. She took over the comb and examined it, but didn’t feel anything strange. She tilted her head questioningly at Elvis.
Lea hugged Gu Mengmeng. “You are not sensitive to beast pressure and so cannot sense it. The lingering beast pressure on this… is of a Beast King level.”
Gu Mengmeng was shocked. “He… he managed to get the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs?”
Lea kept silent for a moment as he twisted his lips. “It might also be the Kiss of the Ocean or the Soul of the Forest.”
Gu Mengmeng was dumbfounded for a couple of seconds before her eyes turned blood-red. She gritted her teeth and said to Gregory, “Send me back to Sauder. Now. Immediately!”
Lea held onto Gu Mengmeng and whispered by her ear. “Mengmeng, calm down.”
“How can I calm down?! That bastard might have hurt my son!”
Lea shook his head. “Cole knows very well how to use and activate the seven treasures. He would not have harmed Chixuan even if he took the Soul of the Forest from him. Have you forgotten? Chixuan is the only bargaining chip he has on you. If anything happens to Chixuan, he cannot defeat both you and Elvis even if he is a Beast King. So he will not hurt Chixuan unnecessarily.”
