Chapter 217: Chapter 217 No One Gets Out Alive

Objects of unknown provenance are surely the enemy’s machination!

Fu Long immediately tried to snatch the chopsticks from Chu Qianli’s hand.

Unexpectedly, Chu Qianli dipped her head and took a bite of the lamb.

"So fragrant."

"You!" Fu Long was nearly infuriated to death by this girl.

How could she be so careless?

Chu Qianli didn’t want to waste time; didn’t she know whether the item she brought out herself was poisoned?

Explaining was useless; it was better to eat it and show him.

"It’s not poisoned, don’t worry, it really is very fragrant."

She gently broke free from Fu Long’s grip and picked up another piece: "You guys should try it too, it really is very fragrant."

The aroma was overwhelming, with a spiciness that tickled the nose.

It was simply tantalizing to the taste buds!

"If we’re going to die anyway, why not die on a full stomach?"

Suddenly, someone stood up and quickly sat down beside Chu Qianli.

"Little girl, I’ll join you. Let’s not stop until we’re drunk!"

"There’s no liquor, I’m afraid we won’t get drunk, how about a soft drink?"

Chu Qianli, with a big smile, opened a bottle of cola and offered it to him: "Come on, have a taste."

Nobody had ever seen such a bottle, such a thing.

Dark and murky, it looked as if it might be poisonous.

But that brother only hesitated for a moment before taking the bottle and gulping it down.

After all, entering Heifeng Ridge tomorrow would likely mean death.

If death was imminent, why fear poison? Dying from poison would spare the fear and anxiety of awaiting death.

"Ugh... cough, cough cough cough..."

That brother hadn’t expected that chugging it down would not result in death by poison, but nearly by choking.

"Ugh..."

A burp suddenly rang out, leading to an awkward moment: "What, what is this stuff?"

"You don’t know? It’s called cola, very tasty."

Chu Qianli, holding several bottles, offered them to the others: "Hurry, give it a try, he drank it, it’s not poisoned."

Everyone took it and then looked at the first brother who tried it.

That brother burped again, frowning deeply.

But soon, he smiled again: "Tasty!"

"Come on, eat up! With such delicious food and drinks, it’s a waste not to eat!"

Indeed, it’s a waste not to eat.

Eating might lead to death, but that was still better than being bitten to death by a Medicine Man.

"I’ll also have a taste." One of them, named Yazi, who had spoken to Chu Qianli earlier and had a more cheerful personality,

was the first to pick up the chopsticks, reached for a slice of the lamb hotpot, ready to eat.

Chu Qianli interjected: "Dip it in this sauce before eating, it’ll taste really special."

She opened several bottles of sauce, poured them into a disposable bowl, and pushed it towards Yazi.

Yazi, half in doubt, dipped a little and ate it together with the meat.

The moment he swallowed, his eyes widened: "What... what is this seasoning... this sauce? So fragrant! Really delicious!"

"Sesame paste, handmade satay sauce, and sesame oil, how about it, fragrant, right?"

"Fragrant! Really delicious!" Yazi couldn’t care less about the others anymore and sat down cross-legged, immediately starting to eat.

The brother who had the cola also steeled his heart and joined them, beginning to eat.

The fragrance filled the air.

Soon, the others followed suit.

If we’re to die, we might as well die on a full stomach.

Moreover, the smell, truly, was too enticing.

Having lived so many years, who had ever smelled such fragrant food before?

Finally, even Fu Long sat down and picked up the chopsticks that Chu Qianli stuffed into his hand, giving it a taste.

"Fu Long, remember to dip in the sauce," Chu Qianli reminded.

Fu Long was also half doubtful, but he dipped it in the sauce before bringing it to his mouth.

Spicy! So spicy that the tip of his tongue felt numb.

But indescribably delicious! So appetizing that it instantly sparked a craving!

It was really too tasty!

"Leader Fu, if it’s delicious, then eat up quickly or it’ll all be gone. Look!"

Although there were over a dozen people, as soon as the lamb rolls were put down and barely cooked, they were immediately divided up by everyone.

If you were a bit slow, you really wouldn’t get any.

As a leader, Fu Long naturally had to show some restraint, but he soon realized that once everyone started eating, they went crazy.

Who would care about who the leader was?

Naturally, no one was going to save any meat slices for him!

In the end, even Fu Long joined the army fighting for meat.

Whatever tomorrow would bring, that was a matter for tomorrow.

They had meat today; today they wanted to eat and drink to their hearts’ content.

Coca-Cola and Sprite were opened one bottle after another, and in this small decrepit temple, gradually, there was joy and harmony.

That night, the brothers who had eaten their fill lay down in the corners to rest.

Fu Long, alone with a bottle of Coca-Cola, sat on the temple roof, gazing at the stars.

His heart was full of thoughts.

Chu Qianli flung out her Heavenly Silkworm Silk, leaped up, and lightly sat down beside him.

"Knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without disaster. Is it time you shared what you know about Heifeng Ridge with me now?"

Fu Long glanced down at her.

All this stuff, the eating and drinking, was it just to pry information out of him?

Though Fu Long truly couldn’t imagine where she had gotten all these things.

But it must have been prepared by her.

Found it? He was deeply skeptical.

"Don’t look at me like that. Although I did have half a reason to bond with everyone and incidentally gather some information."

Chu Qianli spread her hands, her face earnest, "But you can’t have a military force without morale. Didn’t you see that everyone’s mood improved a lot after they ate and drank?"

This point, Fu Long did not deny.

This girl really had a knack for creating atmosphere.

However...

He took a sip of Coca-Cola and looked up at the sky, "No matter how good the atmosphere is, it’s pointless. As soon as we enter Heifeng Ridge tomorrow, it will be the same for everyone."

Fearful, desperate, and in the end, death.

Chu Qianli’s smile faded, and she looked up at the sky, just as he did.

"I actually don’t know much about Heifeng Ridge or Heifeng Cliff; I only heard Yazi mention that none who enter come back alive."

"Yes."

Fu Long’s grip on the Coca-Cola bottle involuntarily tightened.

"My older brother died in Heifeng Ridge, too."

Chu Qianli turned to look at him, saying nothing.

Perhaps it had been too long since he had spoken. Suddenly, Fu Long felt an urge to speak.

He said, "Inside Heifeng Ridge are Medicine Men and Dead Soldiers on guard, like wild wolves lurking everywhere."

"At first, wave after wave of valiant warriors were sent to scout for information, wave after wave of death reports came back."

"Later, the Imperial Court sent a large army there, and that was the bloodiest battle, my older brother included."

"Tens of thousands of elite soldiers entered Heifeng Ridge, and in the end, only my brother came out hanging by a thread."

"He barely managed to inform the brothers waiting outside with some intel, and soon after he came out, he died from the poison."

Fu Long’s hand tightened further.

Chu Qianli quickly took the Coca-Cola bottle from his grasp.

"Stop squeezing it, it will burst."

She patted his hand, "Don’t worry, we will be the luckiest ones. Trust me!"

Before Fu Long could respond, suddenly a loud shout came up from the decrepit temple below...
