Before we arrived, our meals consisted of nothing but coconut meat, with the occasional grilled fish. But today, after a long day of fighting, everyone was starving.

As agreed, the group gathered at the entrance after looting the place and looked at Domi.

Now that everyone has woken up, the responsibility of leading the team naturally falls to Domi.

He understood that what everyone needed most right now was food, but where could they find food to eat in the underground tombs?

Edward suggested, "I see a restaurant across the street, why don't we go there and find something to eat?"

Aiwei rolled her eyes.

"A restaurant in an underground burial ground? The food there is for the dead, not for us."

Edward gave an awkward smile and scratched the back of his head to hide his embarrassment.

However, these words did provide Domi with some ideas.

"No, maybe we should really try our luck at the restaurant!"

Aiwei was speechless: "It's one thing for Edward to act stupid, it's quite common, but why are you acting stupid too? Is this the new trend this year?"

"Think about it, although the hotel may be dangerous, as long as we get past the owner, doesn't the hotel become a place to sleep and rest? That aligns with the meaning that a hotel represents."

"So what I mean by 'taking a chance' is, if we also get through the restaurant, is it possible to make the restaurant fulfill its original function and allow us to find food inside?"

There's a bit of sophistry involved, but that's the only thing we can do right now.

The road ahead is still unclear, and countless monsters are eyeing us from behind. Let's find a chance to fill our stomachs first.

Having made up their minds, the group marched out of the hotel and headed towards the 'restaurant' at the intersection ahead.

Just like in the hotel, once they entered the restaurant, someone came to greet them.

It's...it's...it's a pig-headed person!

A true pig-headed person has a pig's head, but a human body below the neck, and is short and stout.

The diners of this eccentric restaurant owner were also bizarre—a group of pig-headed people who kept stuffing their mouths with disgusting, unidentified paste. Even though their stomachs and esophagus were already full of paste, they still happily stuffed it into their mouths with spoons, until it spilled onto the ground and into their nostrils…

They looked just like real pigs.

Ironically, they were wearing white napkins around their necks, though those had now turned a dark brown paste color.

Domi couldn't help but twitch her lips at the sight. But seriously, isn't there anything edible here? Look how deliciously they're eating!

The pig-headed boss, wearing a black leather apron and carrying a bloodstained butcher's knife, approached and asked warmly in the language of the ancient local dynasty:

"Having lunch? How many of you?"

Only Shia knew what he was saying and translated it for everyone in real time.

After listening, Domi replied:

"Six people, but we don't want to eat that paste. Is there anything else we can eat?"

Shea is translating online...

The pig-headed man became even more enthusiastic after hearing this and quickly led everyone to the kitchen.

Upon entering the kitchen, everyone was stunned. There were countless pieces of fresh red pork and lush green vegetables, showing no signs of decay.

Rosa quickly understood and said, "Someone used powerful and long-lasting time magic to preserve them until now, and they haven't dissipated yet, so they should be edible."

Upon hearing this, the sound of swallowing saliva immediately rose and fell.

The pig-headed man said as he led them on a tour of the kitchen:

"I love diners who can afford these good ingredients. Those poor wretches outside only deserve to eat my shit, but with a few seasonings, they can eat it with relish, hehehehe~"

That paste was actually...

A generous gift crab!

Domi retracted her previous thought; those things were actually inedible, and even looking at them made her nauseous.

"Roasted pork chops, deep-fried pork chops, a whole pig feast, pork bone soup, stir-fried pork cubes with side dishes, or a simple and healthy vegetable salad? What would you like to eat?"

It's incredibly jarring that these dishes, all made from pigs, are being spoken by a pig-headed man.

However, since there is food available, Domi must try to get some.

"One of each of these, please."

After Shia translated it to the pig-headed man, he burst into wild laughter that seemed capable of shattering glass.

"Hahahaha! Good, good, good! I love diners with such big appetites!"

"Come on, pay the price first, then I'll do it."

Domi stepped forward and asked warily, "So, boss, what's the price?"

"Hehehe~ Please follow me~"

The pig-headed boss led them to a single table in the back kitchen.

That's right, there is a dining table set up outside the kitchen, directly opposite the window carved out of the kitchen, so that the food prepared by the pig-headed man can be served directly to the dining table.

The pig-headed boss walked into the kitchen, took out pork bones and some vegetables, and started cooking, saying as he cooked:

"The price is simple..."

Shia was speechless for a moment. The person who said it was simple last time had tormented them half to death, and they no longer believed such nonsense. So she told Domi directly:

He said the cost was severe.

"Um……"

Pig-headed boss: "You ordered six dishes, so I will make six bowls of pork bone soup. Three of them have been poisoned by me. Only by finding all three bowls can you and your companions enjoy the food."

His butcher's knife smashed mercilessly onto his companion's pig bones. With a loud crash, Pang Cang looked up at Domi with a mocking expression:

"To fill your stomach, you have to step on the corpses of your comrades."

However, Domi was not frightened by the pig-headed man. Instead, he observed him as if he wanted to do something outrageous.

However, the pig-headed man saw right through his thoughts: "See these time spells? I cast them, so you'd better give up on killing me. Right now, I can pin you to the ground with one hand."

“Alright…” Domi abandoned the dangerous idea and then asked, “Then… what kind of poison did you use?”

"Look at the bones around your feet."

"My poison will make you feel incredibly hungry, and then your body will emit the aroma of meat. At this point, you will tear your own flesh and eat it."

"When people are hungry, they will eat other living things, so why can't they eat themselves? That's why I want to correct this."

"Here you go, soup. I've made it. No skipping out on your bill here, you know, hehehehe~"

As he spoke, the pig-headed man placed six bowls of pork bone soup in front of Domi's table. Each bowl was fragrant and looked no different from the others, perhaps even tasting the same.

Everyone is aware of the seriousness of the situation.

They had no choice but to drink the soup, but if they drank any that was poisoned, they would die.

Rather than having a maximum of three people die, it is the most reasonable solution to have one person find all the poisoned soup.

But at that moment, the pig-headed man added:

"Drink it, at least half of it. My poison will take effect in three seconds once it's ingested. You'd better think about this carefully."

Halfway done! Effective instantly!

Although at least no one will die this time, there's a high probability that two people will die.

They looked at each other, none of them wanting to die, but the situation was such that someone had to die, otherwise they would starve to death here.

Humanity is revealed in life-or-death situations.

Argyle stepped forward and patted Domi, who was sitting in a chair, on the shoulder:

"Domi, let me do it. What kind of older brother lets his younger siblings die first?"

“No, I should be the first one, I’m the oldest,” Shia said.

"Hmph~ It seems you've already selected the test subjects. That's quite efficient."

However, Domi showed no intention of giving up his position: "Stop arguing, let me handle the poison testing."

He looked firmly at his family and friends behind him and said, "I promise that no one, including myself, will lose their life here."

After saying that, Domi picked up the leftmost bowl before anyone could react and gulped it down in a few gulps.

Shia and Argyle tried to stop him, but were stopped by the pig-headed man's butcher's knife. His pig-face twisted into a grotesque smile as he said:

"Now... unless he dies, no one can stop the poison testing from taking place."

They could only watch with sorrow as Domi ate bowl after bowl...and then bowl after bowl...and then bowl after bowl?

Each bowl was half full, and it took three seconds to finish each serving.

Ke Duomi has already drunk three bowls, how come he's still okay?

Even the pig-headed man was dumbfounded. He clearly remembered that two of the first three bowls from left to right had been poisoned.

In other words, Domi has already drunk two bowls of poisonous pork soup!

But he didn't experience any symptoms and continued to try them. He didn't know which bowl was poisoned, so he drank all six bowls. In the end, he even licked his lips and found that the taste was actually quite good.

"Hiccup~~"

He even burped.

[Old Pig's Jaw Dropped - JPG]

This is all thanks to the [Body of Nature] talent he recently acquired, which grants him immunity to 90% of various toxins. After the toxins were reduced by 90%, they became like appetite-stimulating pills. Right now, he's incredibly hungry, but he doesn't want to eat himself.

"Hey, you pig-headed man, this should count as testing out the poison, right? After all, I drank it all. If you're not convinced, you can bring me a few more bowls, I'll just drink them slowly. If you have nothing more to say, then hurry up and serve the food."

The pig-headed man was speechless. What use was Kunba if a beast that was immune to all poisons had appeared? Just take it as a joke.

So the guy scrambled back to the kitchen, looking dejected, and started preparing food for Domi and the others, then personally carried it to the empty dining table outside.

Everyone was naturally puzzled as to why Domi was unharmed after drinking the poison, but he just made up a few random excuses—that he was naturally resistant to poison.

"I have my reasons for daring to do this. Look, I'm fine, so don't worry about it. Come on, eat as much as you want!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on. They praised Domi enthusiastically while stuffing meat into their mouths. It could be said that Domi had saved them all.

After eating and drinking their fill, the six of them, with their big bellies, slumped in their chairs. Having been on this deserted island for so many days, this was the first time they had eaten so heartily, and they felt like their lives were complete.
