Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 174 Demonization and Harvest Season
After they woke up, the nightmare seemed to be forgotten. Neither Aqua nor Darkness mentioned what happened that night again.

But from time to time, the two would come to Broly and ask him to help them have a good dream.

Broly also gained a new channel to increase the happiness value of both of them.

. . .

As summer turns to autumn, the weather gradually becomes cooler, the wheat in the farmlands outside the city turns golden, and the Adventurer's Guild is preparing for the harvest season.

The harvest season is a rather peculiar season in this world. It is said that some crops do not want to mature and be eaten by humans, so they suddenly grow legs or evolve the ability to move and then escape during the harvest season of various crops.

“The reason is that there are many magical factors in this world. Even ordinary crops can be easily demonized under the influence of a strong magical environment.

Of course, the probability of ordinary crops being demonized is relatively small. It’s just that the harvest season is a time when the magic factor is relatively active, and it is also the time when many crops mature in large quantities.

Therefore, although the probability of being demonized is small, it has become more common because the base number has increased. "

Aqua was holding a net and caught a potato that was escaping on the ground using its rhizome tentacles. She knocked the demonized potato unconscious and explained the situation.

In the autumn, dealing with large quantities of demonized crops is a common daily commission in the Adventurer's Guild.

Generally speaking, commissions like this may be dangerous for ordinary people, but they are easy to deal with for adventurers.

Moreover, because the magic crops are rich in magic factors, their taste and the experience gained from eating them will be improved to a certain extent. Therefore, their value is higher than that of ordinary crops.

Hence, there is the term harvest season.

"However, the real harvest day has not yet arrived. Now it is just a small fight."

I spent an entire afternoon working with other members of the team to deal with the demonized crops on dozens of acres of farmland.

When Broly returned to the Adventurer's Guild, he heard the poster girl introducing the new version of Harvest Season.

However, although it is said to be an introduction to the new version, it is actually something that the locals already know.

Farther east of Axel there is a large field of cabbage.

Although the lord over there would have people clean up a lot of demonized cabbages, every year there would still be many demonized cabbages that would break through numerous obstacles and fly to Axel's side.

"The final destination of those cabbages is the wasteland further west. Axel is where they must pass through. The real harvest day is the day when those cabbages arrive."

Broly was getting a little excited. He was chewing on the baked potatoes with long legs, and the stewed eggplants and roasted tomatoes with long arms. The taste of these demonized vegetables was indeed better than ordinary crops. He wondered what the demonized cabbage tasted like.

The demonized cabbages did not make Broly wait too long. In the second week of autumn, they flew over in groups from the eastern sky like a flock of migratory birds.

They are so dense that the sky is dyed green.

"Payment day is here, are you ready?"

The Adventurer's Guild's poster girl asked, and a group of adventurers who had come to the city gate answered in unison.

"Of course I'm ready."

These people held in their hands the tools they had prepared long ago for catching the demonized cabbage. Not only were the adventurers prepared to catch the demonized cabbage, but even the townspeople in Axel had made similar preparations.

It’s just that ordinary people are not stronger than adventurers. Except for some people who are confident in their own strength, other residents just set up nets and traps around and on the tops of their houses, waiting for the demonized cabbages to fall into the trap.

"Broly, you must not use energy bombs. The cabbage that has turned to ashes is inedible."

Just as Aqua finished her instructions, Darkness had already gone ahead. She went straight to the front line to face the cabbage army.

Don't underestimate the power of these demonized cabbages. Although they don't have much brains, they are still very powerful even if they rely solely on instinct to charge.

Occasionally, Axel would hear about people being killed by demonized cabbages on Harvest Day, and the dead even included some careless adventurers.

Of course, for Darkness, with her strong defense as a Crusader, the impact of the cabbage was nothing.

“All of you demonized cabbages, come at me. I, Darkness, will protect everyone here!”

Darkness taunted a group of cabbages in the sky, and countless cabbages changed direction and crashed towards her.

Darkness wailed as she was hit, but it was a refreshing whimper. She liked the feeling of being hit. "Come on, let the cabbage storm come even harder~"

"Well done, Darkness, now watch me!"

Aqua was very satisfied with the knight girl's ability to gather monsters. She raised her hand and launched a water-generating magic towards Darkness. The surging water stream directly hit a large group of cabbages, and blasted Darkness inside away.

"Aqua, you bastard, did you do this on purpose?"

The soaking wet Darkness was very dissatisfied. Aqua's move was somewhat personal.

"Sorry, sorry, it's just that your monster gathering effect was too good, it's like someone stuck their butt in front of me, and I just couldn't help but kick it."

Aqua’s apology wasn’t very sincere, but Darkness just fell for it. She found it hard to control herself when she thought about how she was almost kicked in the butt in public.

Although he said "Too much", his body continued to gather monsters honestly, and then he was washed away by Aqua's water flow.

The cooperation between Aqua and Darkness is also the choice of most adventurers who form a team.

However, not every adventurer team has a spellcasting member, so Aqua's water-generating stream impact trick has become to use a net bag to directly control it, and then use physical attacks to deal with those demonized cabbages.

Large groups of demonized cabbages were knocked down, but a large number of them either flowed into the town or flew directly over Axel towards the west.

The harvesting process was somewhat dangerous, but every adventurer had a smile like an old farmer on his face, and they all showed off their skills.

Seeing this, Broly was ready to take action, but he couldn't use the energy bombs. If he only used his fists and feet, it would be inefficient and would easily explode the cabbage.

"Yes, I can use this trick."

Broly raised his hand, and the life-absorbing skill of Absorbing Touch was used, but it was not used on a specific object, but on his own energy.

I saw a cyclone appear on Broly's little hand, and as the speed of the cyclone became faster and faster, the energy of the demonized cabbage and the adventurers around him was pulled over by the cyclone.

However, Broly was able to control the size of the cyclone in his hand, and the adventurers present only had a debuff of magic power and energy loss on their bodies, but the demonized cabbages near him fell from the sky one after another.

This kind of demonized crop is actually very fragile. If just a little bit of its energy is sucked away, it will fall from the sky in large quantities and become dead.

However, this method has its pros and cons. The demonized cabbages that have had some of their magic power drained away do not taste as good as those that have been knocked unconscious directly or flushed unconscious by water. Even their crispness has decreased a bit, which is equivalent to sacrificing texture and taste.

Of course, judging from the number of demonized cabbages captured alone, Broly alone is more than enough to defeat a group of adventurers.

The range absorption touch combined with the use of Qi eventually provided Broly with a ball of energy full of vitality.

Looking at the ball full of life energy in his hand, Broly felt a little distressed. If he took this thing back into his body, he would not have to eat for at least two days.

Fortunately, after hearing some adventurers complaining about being tired, Broly had a good idea.

But before that, he had to ask the logistics staff of the Adventurer's Guild to help him collect the hill of demonized cabbage he had harvested.

After all these were done, Broly used his Qi to force the life energy ball into the water-generating magic.

He had done this kind of thing many times, and soon a ball of vitality water appeared.

If it were bottled now, it would be an unstable vitality potion.

But if you use it directly, you don’t have to worry too much about whether it is stable or not.

"go with!"

Broly threw the vitality water ball in his hand into the sky, and the water-generating magic engraved inside the water ball quickly unfolded.

Then use the mist water of flowers, birds, wind and moon to generate a magic water outlet, and an artificial drizzle with the effect of a vitality potion will fall from the sky.

Broly offers a energizing rain of recovery to those who are tired.

【This way, you can have a normal meal at night. 】

Broly looked like he had a plan.
