The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 1230

The opening of the 'Green Wilderness Demon' restaurant was a quiet affair, even in the heart of the slums. For several days, business was slow. Aside from a few customers who had come from Bella's food truck earlier and would occasionally patronize the restaurant in the mornings, most of the demons passing by only glanced at the tempting aroma of the food and the enthusiastic calls of the waiters.

The restaurant's business only began to pick up after several gang leaders returned to their respective territories and recommended it to their members. In particular, when a lucky mid-level demon managed to snatch and eat one of the restaurant's monthly high-level magical dishes, a powerful magical aura uncontrollably emanated from his body, immediately attracting many demons who happened to be dining there or passing by the road in front of the restaurant.

The current state of this demon is not unusual in the life of a demon, as the vast majority of demons evolve step by step from the lowest-ranking abyssal worms. The most noticeable phenomenon during their evolution is this current surge of magical power within their bodies, where the latent abilities within their bloodline are activated and overflow.

At this point, as long as the demon quickly finds a safe place, fully grasps this potential, and reshapes its physical form, it will ascend to a higher-level demon form.

Having witnessed firsthand the significant benefits that magical cooking brought to the individual strength of demons, even those with ulterior motives who tried to suppress the news couldn't withstand the watchful eyes both inside and outside the restaurant, not to mention the waiters who were waiting for such an example to vindicate their magical cooking!

Soon, news spread that a mid-level demon had been promoted to a high-level demon after consuming a magical dish cooked at the 'Green Wilderness Demon' restaurant. Although many demons who came from afar might not be able to purchase the high-level magical dish that was broadcast every month, the mid- and low-level magical dishes that occasionally appeared on the menu still had many wonderful benefits.

Unfortunately, Bella is the only one who can cook magical dishes. Although she has bought a group of young dwarf goblins from the slave trading group in Zerata to help her and learn basic cooking skills, it only saves Bella some trivial matters.

It will take some time for these apprentices to adapt and master the skills before they can start playing an important role.

Thinking about these problems, Allen was also in a lot of trouble. In the end, he simply opened the cooking school ahead of schedule. The first batch of 50 students was finalized in less than 3 days and was directly divided up by several groups such as the Assassin Guild and the Augustus Gang.

These students, handpicked by several powerful factions, never imagined that the first phase of their courses would be taught personally by Allen, who was on his way to becoming the 'God of Food'. If they were to go far in the future and learn Allen's true identity, they might feel proud and honored to have learned what they had today.

Once the list was finalized, the students gathered the next day in a warehouse building less than 500 meters from the restaurant. The originally messy space was divided into individual work areas, cooking areas, and so on after some emergency repairs.

For the next two weeks, Allen kept these young and talented abyssal natives in this classroom. Apart from the necessary eating, drinking and relieving themselves, he spent the rest of the time constantly honing their knife skills, food handling techniques, and so on, cramming the most basic magical chef skills into their minds until they became physical memories.

During their studies, these apprentices were divided into five-person teams by Allen. Each team would specialize in processing a particular ingredient that was most common in the Abyss. Only after they had processed these ingredients perfectly would they be moved on to other materials to continue their training.

After the basic assessment was completed, Allen handed the students over to Bella, who then led these apprentices to cook for the Green Wilderness Restaurant in a classroom converted from a warehouse, making them free employees of the restaurant.

Just then, the restaurant's reputation began to spread throughout the districts of Zerata, attracting large numbers of city residents who flocked to dine there. The already small restaurant was packed, and Bella, increasingly busy, lacked helpers to lighten her load. With the addition of these apprentices specializing in the processing and cutting of a single ingredient, Bella's workload was significantly reduced. She could now focus solely on cooking and occasionally offer guidance to the apprentices on any problems they encountered during the various steps.

As for the management of the restaurant, it was entirely entrusted to Willie, the dwarf goblin who had just been promoted to legendary status. With several succubi and goblins purchased from slave trading groups, he was busy with various tasks, such as greeting guests who came from all directions and purchasing all kinds of supplies needed for cooking and the restaurant's maintenance.

The Green Fields Restaurant has been open for two months and is thriving.

However, at this very moment, Allen, the person in question, had not appeared in the restaurant for several days. Although some people were secretly speculating about his whereabouts, they had no way of finding out his true origins, so it was even more difficult to find his trace now.

…………

The bitter winter wind howls and ravages the earth, carrying layers of icy frost that scrape across the land. Even the most resilient plants will find it difficult to survive in such a harsh environment.

Yet amidst this fierce gale, a towering and imposing figure walked with ease through the knife-like wind and frost. The raging icy wind rushed towards this tiny creature that dared to challenge it, and ice crystals condensed and dangled around its imposing body, like a naturally formed, crystalline armor.

Any other creature covered by such icy, bone-chilling snow would soon succumb to hypothermia or be frozen solid, becoming a natural statue in this vast snowfield. But the burly humanoid man, covered in this thick layer of ice armor, walked steadily across the unmarked plain without wavering.

call out! ! !
A massive ice spike suddenly rose from the hard ground beneath their feet, attempting to launch a fatal attack on the humanoid creature's most vulnerable spot in its lower abdomen.

Just as the sharp tip of the ice spike was about to pierce his body, the figure, whose steps seemed somewhat heavy, delivered a flying kick with his right leg at the last moment, snapping the sudden ice spike in two.

At the same time, the figure shuddered, and the thick ice that had bound him like shackles shattered and scattered, revealing the face of a somewhat hunched troll. Having shed his burdens, he stomped heavily on the ground, his body rising nearly 6-7 meters into the air before leaping directly onto a seemingly ordinary patch of ground in the vast snowstorm.

Boom! ! !
As the figure landed, a massive, dark gold greatsword appeared in his hand, plunging straight into the icy, steel-hard ground.

Click-clack~~~Snap~~~~
A huge crack extended from the blade that plunged into the ground, and then in the blink of an eye, it spread out to be 2-3 meters wide, revealing a deep hole in the earth.

Whew~~~~
As soon as the cave entrance was exposed, dozens of sharp spears shot out from it, turning into a rain of arrows that completely enveloped the trolls standing on the ground.
