The hunters stood around their leader, buying Arius time to recover.
Seeing Arius's blood energy gradually recover, the hunters seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
Just when they thought they could break through this strange place and leave!
What happened next was completely unexpected.
The once dark birdcage suddenly vanished, replaced by a huge meteorite.
It crashed down directly on them.
Arius had recovered considerably by this point and immediately took action, his blood energy transforming into a giant hand to try and lift the meteorite, buying them time to leave.
He did indeed succeed; the crimson hand really slowed down the meteorite's descent.
but.
After the second meteorite fell.
Everything they did seemed so futile. "No!!!"
Under their desperate gazes, two meteorites fell one after the other, just as the birdcage disappeared.
A meteorite fell; there was no way to avoid it, no way to retreat!
A notification sounded in Liu Ziming's mind: [Ding, Despair detected. The Feast of the Evil God has been activated. Congratulations, host, your mental strength +3.]
[Ding, despair detected. Feast of the Evil God activated. Congratulations, host, mental strength +...] As expected, he was smashed into mincemeat at this moment.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing a low-level tier 300 monster. You have gained 157 evolution points.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing an eighth-tier monster and gaining evolution points...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for killing a low-level tier 9 monster. Annihilation was successfully activated, and you have gained 1 million experience points.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing a high-level eighth-tier monster. Annihilation was successfully activated, and experience was gained...] In an instant, notification sounds kept coming to Liu Ziming's mind.
Opening the panel, its level has successfully increased from 73 to 74, and it is only half the experience required to reach 75.
The number of evolution points has increased from over 50 million to over 60 million, and the sixth body enhancement requires exactly 60 million evolution points.
Its four dimensions have changed from Strength: 270, Agility: 300, Constitution: 280, Spirit: 320 (normal people have 10 for each attribute) to Strength: 300, Agility: 320, Constitution: 300, Spirit: 350. And this is without any enhancement. If it is enhanced further, its four dimensions can soar to four digits.
Clearly, Liu Ziming has gained a lot this time.
However, Liu Ziming wasn't in a hurry to absorb Arius, because good things should be shared. He quickly called over Maomao and the others.
Chapter 301 A Feast for the Senses!
With a flick of his fingers, Liu Ziming instantly reduced two enormous meteorites to dust before everyone's eyes, which then dissipated in the wind. This scene truly shocked everyone, especially Ah Li, who was completely stunned. She stammered, "You can do that? Holy crap, being friends with a cheater like that is exhausting!" As soon as she finished speaking, Seven-Colored Deer and the others gave her a knowing look. Clearly, they now agreed with Ah Li's words; no matter how hard they tried, they would always find a chasm-like gap between themselves and Liu Ziming.
Clearly, Liu Ziming's display of hidden strength and his suppression of the demon general this time completely shocked them.
However, Liu Ziming, who was in charge of the cooking, was heating the oil in the wok when he saw their disgusted expressions and said in confusion, "Come on, there's something delicious to eat today."
That's right, Liu Ziming didn't use the incineration method to absorb the two or three ninth-level hunters, including Arius; he wanted to share them with Ahri and the others.
These items are enough for them to advance to the seventh rank. "Monster!" "Gorgeous!" "A cheat code!"
Everyone watched as Liu Ziming, a completely different person from before the battle, stirred the contents of the pot, removing the oil from the delicious food, and they all said in unison, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Liu Ziming waved his hand in confusion, and finally beckoned to the fire dragon.
Even the dragon hadn't expected Liu Ziming to be so fierce.
They simply wiped out the hunter clan's top combatants all at once.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was blind. Your mother doesn't look like a monster at all!
It's more like a profession from the human world, something like teacher!
Yes, that's a teacher! Someone who cooks for people.
The fire dragon looked at the large pot that Liu Ziming carried with him and was puzzled. Why should cooking for others be considered a profession?
Although he was an intelligent demon, he had lived deep in the mountains for a long time and did not know much about human affairs, which was why he found it strange.
To be honest, ever since he ate the barbecue made by Liu Ziming, he really can't eat anything else.
At this moment, bubbles were already rising in the pot. Although the oil was still being removed, the meat of this overlord, who had astonished the region with its physique, was naturally incredibly delicious.
"Hmm...it smells delicious. I wonder what the predator race tastes like..."
Thinking about it, the fire dragon was the first to run over excitedly. To be honest, they used to avoid predators, otherwise they would become prey for them.
But he never imagined that one day he would be able to eat the predator race as a delicacy.
Moreover, there are so many ninth-tier beings, including even a king among the predator race.
The reason Liu Ziming trained the Flame Dragon was actually quite simple: he would be using the Flame Dragon for transportation in the future, and it would be embarrassing if his mount was too weak.
Moreover, Liu Ziming plans to support the Flame Dragon to become the leader of the dragon race, so its strength must be adequate.
In addition, the fire dragon's loyalty to him meant that he deserved all of this.
Everyone gathered around the iron pot, deep in thought as they pondered how to prepare the delicious dish that had been drained of oil and fishy smell. The Seven-Colored Deer was the first to break the silence, saying, "Look at this thing, doesn't it look like a grasshopper?" "How about we deep-fry it?" the Seven-Colored Deer suggested.
"Frying is bad. It's too high in fat, which can easily lead to fatty liver and weight gain—it's so unhealthy," said Qingfeng Yinggong Qiaoman. The cat's eyes darted around, then she said, "Barbecue! I think barbecue is the most delicious!" As she spoke, the cat turned to the fire dragon and said, "Dragon, what do you say?" Clearly, the dragon breath barbecue from last time had left her wanting more. The fire dragon was utterly speechless upon hearing this, feeling a thousand curses running through its mind.
So, you think my dragon breath is just for grilling here?
My only purpose in life is to be grilled!
The fiery dragon, upon realizing this, suddenly felt utterly hopeless.
"I think we could make sour soup, sour soup with grasshoppers, how about that?" Ah Li said.
Just then, the giant ape standing nearby listened to their conversation and its jaw dropped.
That was as if to say, "Brothers, he was a king in life, can't you at least let him die with some dignity?" "How about we boil him in water and eat him? Just a little salt. A ninth-tier demon with a fleshy body like him, his flesh is naturally incredibly delicious." "Boiling him is a good idea, it's good for your complexion and harmless, I agree!" "Then let's boil him!"
Just as the group was discussing how to enjoy the delicious food before them, Liu Ziming glanced at them, somewhat bewildered, and shook his head speechlessly, saying, "Are you all starving? A bunch of gluttons!" "Huh?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nearly went crazy. Ali and the others stared wide-eyed at Liu Ziming. Good heavens, didn't you invite us over to eat? Now you're turning the tables on us?
Most importantly, it seems you were the one who killed these things, right? Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Liu Ziming spoke again: "This kind of exquisite delicacy definitely needs to be stewed with spiritual herbs, otherwise what if the divine power inside escapes?" Ignoring the astonished looks of the crowd, Liu Ziming said to the cat, "Now do you understand how to be a top-tier gourmet?"
"Understood, Spider-Man!"
Clearly, things have gotten better lately, and people have become arrogant. Before, when they killed a monster, they would just bite and gnaw at it.
Now things are much better; they're starting to enjoy their lives.
The crowd was indignant, their eyes practically spitting fire as they stared at Liu Ziming.
"Goodness, you've played both the good cop and the bad cop all by yourself? We're just a bunch of spectators." "No, you're not even spectators," Liu Ziming said with a grin.
"Mo, I'm going to kill you!!" Ahri gritted her teeth in anger.
Looking at the incredibly annoying boy in front of him, he felt indignant.
(Li Zhao) At this moment, their private messaging channel received a message.
It turns out that Liu Ziming was faking it all, deliberately putting on a show in front of the giant ape to let them know how good Ah Li's relationship was.
When they actually meet the Demon King, some people will naturally find them unpleasant, and those who want to attack him will be deterred from doing so because the Demon King will not dare to lay a hand on them.
Then they might target the people around them. At this point, Liu Ziming deliberately acted this way so that the giant ape could pass the message on to those with ill intentions.
This would make those who wanted to harm him hesitant to act, thus ensuring Ahri and the others' safety to the greatest extent possible.
Of course, he still didn't want to see the Demon King when he didn't have enough strength.
But it's better to be safe than sorry. If it comes to the point where he has no choice but to see him, he might be fine, but the people around him might not be so lucky.
Thinking about it, the delicious food in the pot was already cooked through. Order now.
Chapter 302 The Mysterious Coffin!
Liu Ziming scooped the delicious food out of the iron pot and then threw some medicinal herbs into it. Although it was his first time making it, his movements looked incredibly skillful.
Then, he found some wooden sticks from somewhere and, with the help of the fire dragon's breath, stirred the sticks in the iron pot.
Soon, the aroma of meat wafted from the pot.
Liu Ziming took out a piece of the delicacy and tasted it. The meat was plump and delicious, simply exquisite.
Especially with the blessing of the fire dragon's breath, the value of the elixirs and delicacies was fully extracted.
Everyone swallowed hard as they looked at the delicious food in the pot.
Clearly, this is not only delicious, but also highly nutritious.
Even the giant ape didn't move its throat at this moment.
It has to be said that Liu Ziming's culinary skills have become increasingly refined. Although he didn't do much cooking, the combination of medicinal herbs and delicious food was indeed a perfect match.
This made everyone's appetites whetted. "That... glug... glug..."
Although the giant ape and Arius were practically friends before, having both worked under the Demon King and sharing some brotherly affection,
But at this moment, he couldn't help himself. He dragged his old face up to Liu Ziming and said with a grin.
After all, they weren't from the same race, so the giant ape was also eager to try the delicious food. "Alright, considering you helped me earlier, I'll give you a bite." Saying this, Liu Ziming tore off a piece of thigh meat and handed it to the giant ape. Liu Ziming had two intentions in giving it to him and saying this.
In the depths of the Demon Forest, there are powerful beings he neither knows nor recognizes. By cultivating a good relationship with the giant ape, he can ensure that when he is no longer able to care for Ahri and the others, the giant ape will naturally help him look after them.
Secondly, like the fire dragon, these powerful beings can serve as bodyguards in the future, and their connections can be used to get to know more powerful monsters.
Looking to the future, Liu Ziming believes that making more friends is always a good thing.
The giant ape quickly took it, its face immediately beaming with joy.
He took a small bite, and the taste was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. It was the epitome of deliciousness, the finest of delicacies.
They finished the delicious meal in no time. "Is there any more?"
The giant ape asked again, but Liu Ziming remained silent.
The giant ape was a little embarrassed. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Ah Li suddenly said, "As the saying goes, every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work. Anyway, we can't finish all of this, and it would be a waste if we couldn't finish it. Why don't we let the giant ape senior enjoy it with us?" As the saying goes, heaven helps those who help themselves. Ah Li quickly understood Liu Ziming's intention and immediately asked him to stay.
"Yes, yes!"
"Anyway, it's more lively to eat with more people."
Others also spoke up, and seeing that everyone had finally understood, Liu Ziming revealed a meaningful smile.
These people aren't stupid; clearly, the giant ape has now fallen into a debt of gratitude.
