Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

The women and children had already mastered the art of roasting meat and quickly prepared the game brought back by the hunting party. Soon, the aroma of roasted meat filled the entire valley.

Despite numerous wounded, both slightly and seriously, the hunting party was fortunate to have no casualties. Even the seriously wounded managed to crawl to the fire and enjoy the tempting roasted meat.

As the crowd gathered, Zhou Yi set up a huge bonfire in the middle, on which sat a crab general as big as a small mountain, which gradually turned red in the flames, dripping with oil.

The meat sizzled and smelled delicious.

Dijiang initially thought it was nothing special, but the fragrance instantly changed his mind.

Interestingly, when Yao Yan went out to search for herbs, he unexpectedly discovered a variety of seasonings. These seasonings included spicy, salty, and sweet flavors and were widely cultivated in the valley.

With these, the flavor of the barbecue is elevated to another level, becoming even more delicious.

Ye Yi skillfully sprinkled on the seasonings, her movements fluid and effortless. Di Jiang's taste buds were stimulated, and his deepest desire for delicious food was awakened.

He couldn't wait for the roasted meat to cool down slightly before grabbing a huge crab leg and devouring it.

The crab meat melted in his mouth, and the delicious aroma of the meat blended perfectly with the seasonings, creating a feast for his taste buds that left him completely intoxicated.

Zhou Yi watched all this quietly, his heart filled with joy. Against the backdrop of the conflict between the human and demon races, the witch race, as the enemy of the demon race, naturally became a potential friend of the human race.

Seeing Dijiang enjoying the human's roasted meat so much, Zhou Yi felt that communication might go more smoothly.

However, this time Ye Yi and Di Jiang had a very enjoyable chat, even though they were both secretly probing each other, their smiles concealing their own intentions.

In the end, neither of them got any useful information from the other, so they decided to stop talking and focus on enjoying their food.

At this moment, Zhou Yi interjected, "Human roasted meat is indeed delicious. How about you teach me sometime?" Aside from the earlier probing, Zhou Yi's mind was now entirely focused on roasted meat. He knew that if he could introduce this skill to the Wu tribe, it might be a key to unlocking their appetites.

However, he certainly wouldn't easily pass on this skill, but he also needed to handle it carefully to avoid appearing too resistant. So he smiled and replied, "No problem, I also want to visit the Witch Clan to thank Zhu Song for his help last time, and thank you for your hospitality this time."

Upon hearing this, Dijiang paused slightly, looked Zhou Yi over with a suspicious gaze, but ultimately couldn't find any flaws, so he had no choice but to give up and nod in agreement.

He was not worried about going to the Witch Clan, because he was confident that he could handle the powerful Witch Clan with ease.

While enjoying his barbecue, Dijiang used telepathy to inform his younger siblings, who were still at the Pangu Temple, about the situation on the other side.

Everyone had different feelings upon hearing that the Zhouyi of the human race was coming to visit again.

Hou Tu was somewhat afraid, worried that his secret would be exposed. Zhu Song, on the other hand, was unusually excited. He couldn't contain his excitement at the thought of delicious roasted meat and even planned to go out and capture a few strong demons to try.

Yu Qiang appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was plotting different plans. The others were filled with curiosity, all wanting to know who this Zhou Yi, who was stirring up the primordial chaos, really was.

A sigh echoed from the Eight Views Palace, causing Xuan Du to frown. Lately, his master, Taishang Laojun, seemed constantly troubled. These sighs had become frequent since his return from Zixiao Palace. Whenever Xuan Du tried to help, he was always told to go back to his cultivation.

Laozi watched everything unfolding within the human forbidden area, his anger growing ever stronger. He had initially hoped the demon race could resolve the issue, but reality far exceeded his expectations.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do about it!" The original plan was for Zhou Yi to go to the Wu tribe with Di Jiang the next day. However, on that day, Zhou Yi suddenly had a whimsical idea and made several new dishes with refined salt and wild vegetables from the mountains.

The enticing aroma immediately attracted Dijiang. After tasting it, he praised the new flavors highly and strongly requested Zhou Yi to make more. Thus, the group stayed for an extra two days, during which Zhou Yi demonstrated his extraordinary culinary skills, producing a dish that was utterly satisfying.

"Brother Zhou, your cooking is absolutely amazing!" Di Jiang praised vaguely as he ate.

Even Ye Yi and others who were watching had the opportunity to taste his cooking.

"Brother Zhou, join our Wu Clan. We'll protect you from now on," Di Jiang said happily after a hearty meal. "Once we defeat the Demon Clan and rule the prehistoric world, you'd better deal with those two Golden Crows for me first."

Upon hearing this, the valley fell into a deathly silence, and all eyes turned to him.

Everyone knew that Dijiang was exceptionally powerful and an important figure in the Wu clan. However, his attempt to take away the ancestor of the human race was simply absurd. Even the children stared intently at Dijiang with wide eyes.

"I am human, and I will not join the witch clan," Zhou Yi said calmly. "However, we will also learn to cook these delicacies, and you can come and taste them then."

Dijiang chewed on the stir-fried meat, hoping that Zhou Yi would come with him to the Witch Clan so that he could cook for him whenever he wanted. But seeing that Zhou Yi had no interest, he could only give up, thinking that he could just make a few more trips himself.

Suddenly, the valley plunged into darkness. Everyone looked up in astonishment at the sky, only to see an endless expanse of darkness enveloping everything. Zhou Yi frowned, while Di Jiang, through his keen senses, recognized the newcomer: "Kunpeng, why is he here again?"

Upon hearing this name, the ruthless individuals present, including Ye Yi, all stood up, ready to act with imposing momentum, but Zhou Yi stopped them: "He has just been defeated. If he wanted to cause trouble, he would never have come alone."

Sure enough, a gigantic figure slowly descended from the sky—it was the Kunpeng. As it tilted its body, countless humans surged down like a tide.

Ye Yi, Shi Hao, and Yao Yan quickly joined forces to build a golden passage in the air, safely catching these humans.

Kunpeng was deeply frustrated. Since his crushing defeat, his status among the demon race had plummeted. Not only had he lost his spiritual treasure, but he had also been forced to take away a million blood offerings.

What he found most unacceptable was that Taiyi and Dijun actually asked him to personally escort these humans back.

He let them step on his back, which was a huge blow to his dignity, but he couldn't express his anger. Because he knew that it was all because of him.

"Your request has been fulfilled!" The last human left his back, and Kunpeng immediately disappeared into thin air. He didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

Zhou Yi observed the people in the valley who were so excited that they cried and embraced each other, cheering and celebrating their reunion.

However, some minor chaos also occurred in the crowd. With so many people, collisions were inevitable, leading to stampedes and shoving incidents.

Fortunately, Xiao Ling'er and Number Three intervened in time, and after some effort, the commotion was quelled.

Suihuang said to Zhou Yi, "Leave this to us. Ye Yi and Ruthless will accompany you to the Witch Clan." Although they didn't know why Zhou Yi was in such a hurry to go to the Witch Clan, they supported his decision as always.
