The Legendary Man novel Chapter 1184

The Legendary Man Chapter 1184-At night, between the viridescent mountains by a spacious lake were a few cultivators donning pelts. They were roasting animal meat by the campfire.

Among the few men, a middle-aged man who looked like he was in his forties stood up with a piece of roasted meat.

“I’m going to take the shift by the slope at the side. You guys should get an early night after eating. By the way, remember to clear away the unfinished meat. We don’t want to lure other ferocious beasts over.”

The youths at the party smiled and nodded upon hearing the middle-aged man’s instructions.

“Got it, Mr. Downey. Don’t worry. It isn’t our first time out here. We’ll definitely clear out everything properly and leave nothing behind.”

The middle-aged man gave them a smile and headed toward the slope.

When the youths saw him leave, they hurried toward the campfire to check if their food was ready.

“Stellan, why don’t we catch some fish to eat? It’s kind of tiring to have animal meat all the time,” the smallest and the youngest person in the group suggested as he looked at the rippling lake.

Hearing that, the three other people at the side lowered their meat and turned to look at the cultivator named Stellan.

“Well…” Stellan turned to look in the direction the middle-aged man had gone. “Mr. Downey has set up a formation and asked us to stay here overnight. If we leave on our own accord, and if something were to happen…”

When the youths around him heard the hesitation in his tone, they became disheartened.

Stellan was the eldest among them, and he was the core of the team. If he did not agree with the suggestion, the others could not protest about it.

The small-sized young man resentfully tossed his unfinished meat into the lake a dozen of meters away from them.

“Welrun, what are you doing?” Stellan bolted over to Welrun.

“Stellan!”

When the others noticed the strong fluctuation of Stellan’s spiritual energy, they quickly stood between the two.

“Stellan, Welrun’s still young. It’s his first time out here too, and he doesn’t know better. Please don’t be mad at him,” said the only young girl in their group as she tugged Stellan’s arm.

The other quickly towed Welrun aside and tried to convince Stellan to calm down too.

Stellan finally let out a sigh.

“Does that mean he can be as reckless as this? When we brought you out of the village, didn’t I tell you that ferocious beasts roam the land? Didn’t I say we have to be extra—”

Before Stellan could finish his sentence, Welrun turned red in the face and cried out, “I just threw a piece of meat! Yes, it’s my first time leaving the village, but Mr. Downey said that this herbs-retrieving path has been used for many years. I’m sure the beasts are all gone now, so what danger can we possibly be in? I don’t ask for much. I just want to catch some fish from the lake. Don’t you want to eat some fish too?”

Stellan noticed the tears welling up in Welrun’s eyes, and his gaze became much softer.

“I’m not being strict, but you’ve heard what the elders said to us before our journey. Although we’ve walked this path many times, we’ll still encounter new beasts. Our priority is to bring the herbs to our chief. If you want to eat fish, I’ll make an application with the chief when we’re back. So, stop thinking about having any fish here.”

Stellan returned to the campfire and quietly ate his food.

Ultimately, the others convinced Welrun to go back to his original spot.

The episode made things tense among the group for a while as they silently polished off the meat.

What they did not notice was a gentle ripple occurring dozens of meters away on the lake.

The meat that Welrun tossed floated for a while before disappearing with a dark silhouette.

After eating, Stellan swiftly kept the rest of the meat in his storage ring.

Then, he took out a few pelts and passed them among the group.
