Chapter 780: Cooking with Local Ingredients

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

A few dozen beasts gathered around.

Among them, there were about a dozen who were relatively powerful, but the rest of them were incredibly weak and were clearly just here to see if they could scavenge for some scraps in the aftermath.

All the beasts glowered at An Lin and the others with sinister expressions. Some of them pulled out their weapons, some of them extended their claws, and some of them bared their sharp fangs.

All of them were itching to tear An Lin and the others into pieces.

“Xiaolan, it looks like we’ve accidentally made quite a few enemies.” An Lin shook his head with a resigned sigh.

“They’re all trash anyway, who cares if they’re enemies or not?” Xu Xiaolan shrugged with a nonchalant expression.

Xiao Ze and An Lin both turned to look at Xu Xiaolan with admiration in their eyes.

Her words… her nonchalance… all of it was so bad*ss!

No!

An Lin suddenly came to a realization. Why was Xu Xiaolan doing all the flexing recently?

Holy Mother of God! This was the core issue at hand!

He finally figured out why he had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

It was because Xu Xiaolan was doing more flexing than he was!

He had to reverse this situation!

At the same time, all the beasts pounced toward them with bloodlust in their eyes.

An Lin stepped forward as he swept his cold eyes through all his beast assailants. “The mighty An Lin does not need to explain his actions to anyone! Kneel down before me, scum!”

A golden light flashed through his eyes as a paramount divine might erupted forth.

Divine Might Technique!

Golden ripples radiated outward, instantly encompassing all his beast assailants.

It was as if all the beasts had seen something extremely terrifying, and they were all instantly rooted to the spot with shock and horror etched onto their faces.

Aside from the dozen or so more powerful beasts, all the other beasts had already collapsed to the ground as their eyes rolled over into the backs of their heads while they frothed at the mouth in unison.

Even the more powerful beasts knelt to the ground as their legs gave out from under them in fear.

So terrifying!

This very same thought welled up in the hearts of all the beasts.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he looked around at the petrified beasts before him. He had finally recovered some of his confidence and conviction.

All of them would surely back down now!

However, to An Lin’s surprise, the beasts did not beg for their lives or run away. Instead. all of them turned their menacing eyes toward An Lin again and pounced toward him even faster than before!

This… were they not afraid of death?

An Lin faltered slightly, and a flurry of scorching white flames swept past him toward the beasts before him, instantly engulfing their bodies like a tidal wave.

None of the beasts even had a chance to scream before their bodies were burned into plumes of smoke.

“Stop wasting time with this kind of trash. Let’s go elsewhere.”

The Holy Vermilion Flame still burned on Xu Xiaolan’s fingertips as she spoke in an indifferent voice.

“Hurray for Master’s wife!” Xiao Ze’s eyes lit up with excitement again.

From Xu Xiaolan’s flames, he sensed an extremely holy and pure aura that evoked awe and veneration in his heart.

An Lin: “…”

All the spectating beasts finally shut their mouths after witnessing Xu Xiaolan’s overwhelming display of strength. They all averted their gaze toward the non-existent scenery in the distance before quickly dispersing.

The human race was quite far away from the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, so there wasn’t much of a vendetta between them.

However, the beasts of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool were very fond of bullying the humans who came here. As such, the relationship between the humans and beasts here was quite a strained one, and conflicts often erupted.

An Lin felt like this was quite understandable. After all, they would often even fight among themselves, so it was no surprise that they would also fight the humans around them.

After leaving that farcical battlefield, the three of them decided to be more cautious and donned black cloaks in order to hide their faces.

There could be Return to Void Stage mighty figures appearing in Bai Hu City, so it was better to be safe than sorry.

The three of them strolled through the city and witnessed all manners of strange beasts around them, of which there were so many species that there was almost zero repetition among the countless beasts they saw. If an encyclopedia of all these species were to be made, it would probably take more than a hundred books to record all of them as just this city alone most likely housed around ten thousand different species of mutant beasts.

In any case, An Lin’s horizons had been significantly broadened.

Xu Xiaolan felt the same way, and she would also point out some hilarious beasts from time to time.

For example, there was a mutant beast in the shape of a black ball and it could only move by propelling itself through gastric discharge. As such, it was constantly farting as it “walked”, creating a comical spectacle that had Xu Xiaolan doubled over in laughter.

Or for example, there was a flying pig with ears for wings. Its ears were extremely large, and as a result, they flapped by the sides of its head as it flew through the air.

There was also a mutant beast in the form of a huge flower that used its green vines to walk. It had a disproportionally massive mouth at the center of its red flowery head, just like an oversized venus fly trap, but it was an omnivore.

As An Lin and the others walked past it, they were treated to the spectacle of it munching on some crispy green bamboo shoots that it was holding in its leafy hands. Its cavernous, crimson mouth chomped with relish on the bamboo shoots, creating a bit of a strange paradox.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan held hands as they continued to wander through Bai Hu City, enjoying the sights and scenes of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool as they went. After a while, they were getting a little tired, so they entered a relatively high-end restaurant in order to try out some local cuisine.

“Come on in, we’ve got a new dish today! Our praying mantis butcher has just slain minotaur Jack!”

“Jack’s flesh is extremely juicy and contains high protein and energy content that will strengthen the consumer’s body! You better hurry up if you want to eat some because this is going to be first come, first serve, until Jack meat runs out!”

A minotaur hollered in front of the restaurant.

Many beasts immediately gathered in front of the restaurant to stake their claims on their preferred cuts of meat.

“I want five kilograms of beef.”

“I want five hundred grams of cow kidney!”

“I want the whole cow head!”

“I want the cow tail!”

A series of voices sounded, all of which were clambering for a piece of Jack the minotaur.

An Lin: “…”

Xu Xiaolan and Xiao Ze: “…”

After the minotaur sold all the meat of another minotaur, it prepared another specialty dish.

“Gather around, we’ve got a new dish today! This is the dark night snot bug monarch that’s been wreaking havoc at night! It was slain by a white tiger guard before being sold to our restaurant. This dark night snot bug is fifty kilograms, and its meat is extremely succulent and delicious! It is an exceptional dish that is not to be missed!” the minotaur continued to holler.

Its words were instantly greeted by another pack of frenzied customers.

An Lin, Xu Xiaolan, and Xiao Ze resisted the urge to throw up the contents in their stomachs.

They did not understand what could be so delicious about a snot bug?

Were all the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool inhabitants into such disgusting dishes?!

Xu Xiaolan muttered to herself, “So… all their meat are sourced locally?”

An Lin nodded. “How valiant of the Bai Hu City inhabitants. They would rather sacrifice themselves than see their fellow brethren starve! I am in awe and admiration!”

“Please stop, Master!” Xiao Ze complained while a pitiful expression appeared on his face. “I’ve completely lost my appetite. Let’s get our own ingredients and cook it with the frying pan!”

An Lin: “Good idea!”

Xu Xiaolan: “I agree.”

Thus, the three of them fled from the restaurant after a brief visit…
