A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

"What did you say?"

Yang Lei suddenly appeared in front of him from not far away, raising his hand in a gesture of listening. Behind him, a shadowy figure was slowly dissipating.

Yang Lei wanted to ask the man what he meant by "16", but unfortunately he couldn't speak anymore because the core of the GT robot had been smashed by a slap, so what was there to say?

"Was I too fast?"

Yang Lei muttered something with a hint of regret, then shrugged nonchalantly and muttered to himself, "Oh well, he's just some nobody anyway."

Normally, Yang Lei isn't a sharp-tongued person; he generally avoids offending or provoking others.

The key problem is that food can be an enemy. Since he has already joined IGO, why be polite? Just kill him when you see him. After all, he's not a real person, just a remotely controlled robot.

After destroying the robot in one move, Yang Lei turned to look ahead and saw that the two ferocious beasts not far away had stopped fighting because of his arrival, and were now glaring at him with fierce eyes.

"So fierce? You want to eat me? Then I might as well eat you all."

Chapter 582

Yang Lei gave a nonchalant sneer, sensing the aura of the two ferocious beasts and guessing that they must also be over level 30.

"Shh."

Yang Lei really acted without hesitation. Before he could even finish speaking, he was already in front of the two ferocious beasts, appearing in front of them simultaneously.

"Snapped."

With a soft sound, Yang Lei simply raised his hand and swung it, and the two heads of the two powerful beasts were sent flying.

He could have smashed their heads, but that wouldn't have been very elegant. After all, he was going to eat them later, and it would be difficult to deal with having brains all over him.

After killing the two beasts, Yang Lei did not linger. He had sharp eyesight and noticed earlier than others that a huge creature was walking towards them from afar.

That's right, the enormous creature walking this way is none other than the Ligalurus.

That mare is huge!

To Yang Lei, who was 1.9 meters tall, those two ferocious beasts would only reach about their calves.

But in front of the Ligaluru beast, these two beasts were nothing more than a matter of a single stomp; they might not even know what had crushed them.

Yang Lei didn't want to be trampled by this giant beast, so he took his spoils and ran to the side early. He sat down on the edge of the legal plateau, set up a small campfire next to him, and put large chunks of roasted meat on it, planning to eat the roasted meat while watching the show.

He didn't plan to make his appearance right away, since he wasn't ready to eat the Jewel Flesh yet and wanted to give the Gourmet Cells more 'experience' before doing so.

In this way, it will also allow A-Lu and the others to gain some experience, which will be of great benefit to their future growth.

As the saying goes, you can't see a rainbow without going through wind and rain. Flowers in greenhouses may be beautiful, but they can't withstand the onslaught of wind and rain.

Therefore, if given the opportunity, he would be willing to give A'lu and the others a chance to gain experience.

"They're here."

After a while, before Yang Lei's barbecue was fully cooked, he murmured something, it was unclear whether he was saying that Ligalumeng was finally approaching, or that Alu and the others had finally arrived, or perhaps both.

"Boom!"

As the Ligalurus approached, a deafening roar, like a thunderclap in clear weather, grew louder and louder. Even Yang Lei couldn't help but cover his ears, which shows just how loud the noise was.

The surrounding beasts were all trembling with fear. Although the First Habitat Garden was said to have an average capture level of 27, the Ligaru Beast was level 48, making it the top of the food chain in the entire garden.

To put it another way, although the capture level does not entirely reflect the strength level, it does reflect the strength level.

For example, an eighth-level Galahru is no match for a ninth-level Tarakala.

Of course, even though ingredients like pufferfish and whales have a level of 27, as long as you don't eat them, even an average person can easily deal with them.

In short, the capture level is a very complex setting. Sometimes it takes into account factors such as the difficulty of capture and the environment, but when it comes to strength, the difference between each level is really hard to overcome.

Take the Ligaluru Beast as an example. Even though the beasts that can live on the legal plateau are at least level 30, they are all just food in front of it.

"Ow."

Soon, the Ligaluru Mammoth appeared on the edge of the legal plateau. It roared and then leaped forward without hesitation, or perhaps it tumbled out? After all, it was too big and clumsy to jump.

To clarify, this wasn't a heroic sacrifice for the Ligaluru Mammoth; it was the only way for it to get down.

As mentioned before, Sani captured a baby Ligaluru Mammoth. The baby's mother came looking for it, and in her haste, she didn't even consider how she would get the baby home; she just rushed off.

On the shore, Yang Lei clapped his hands to cheer on Liga Rumeng, while his mouth was also busy eating the first piece of grilled meat that had finally cooked through. He was devouring it with gusto, his mouth dripping with oil.

Unlike the leisurely Yang Lei, the unlucky A Lu and his companions had just arrived at the foot of the Statutory Plateau. They were about to climb up when they discovered a dark 780 cloud covering the sky. They looked up at the sky curiously, wondering if it was going to rain.

"What kind of dark cloud is that?"

When Alu and his group finally saw what the dark cloud was really like, they were terrified and almost collapsed.

Good heavens, such a huge chunk of meat falling on you is like a small mountain. Anyone would collapse from that. This is truly an unexpected disaster.

"Get out of here!"

The group of people who were on the verge of collapse didn't have time to slowly break down. They shouted at each other and quickly retreated back the way they came.

Unfortunately, the Ligaluru macaque was too big; it was really like a small mountain.

However, Ah Lu and the others were destined to survive. Just as Yang Lei was hesitating whether to go down and rescue them, Coco arrived riding Keith.

Next, Sani used his abilities to entangle Coco's hand, and then, with the help of the others and Alu's efforts, they finally managed to escape, albeit with great difficulty.

"Should I just sit here and wait for them to catch the gem meat, or should I go down and help them out? After all, the Gourmet Club doesn't just have that one robot; there are two more robots that have already gone in."

"Forget it, let's see how things go. I'd better eat as much food as possible for now."

(PS: I've been working on the ending of the old book, so the new book's ending has been delayed until now. Sorry everyone for the long wait... Well, suddenly finishing an old book that I've been writing for over a year, why do I feel so conflicted? It's a feeling of fulfillment mixed with reluctance...)

0498 Gem Flesh!

At first, the sudden appearance of Ligaluru startled Alu and his companions. After they regained their composure, they quickly began to think of ways to capture the flesh of the gem they had been tasked with capturing.

However, adult shrews are different from cubs.

Sani can capture cubs, but he has no way to deal with the big mammoth. Even if the big mammoth obediently lets him use pressure points, they still can't take it away.

In desperation, Aru had no choice but to do the next best thing and proposed to enter the body of the giant mammoth to directly search for the gem meat.

Anyway, their mission is the flesh of the gem, not the giant monstrous beast. Besides, the giant monstrous beast's body is indeed too big; it can be used as a maze for them. This approach might be better.

Sani initially vehemently opposed Alu's proposal, finding it disgusting.

Chapter 583

None of the four Heavenly Kings are 'good kids'.

A-Lu is a glutton, and although Coco claims to be a gentle man, he is actually a poisonous person, and his words are extremely venomous.

Sani, on the other hand, is a narcissist and is called effeminate by his sister Ling. Of course, he would never admit it himself, believing that he simply loves beautiful things and likes pretty things.

As for Zebula, who has yet to appear, he is a problem child, and even the other four Heavenly Kings are somewhat reluctant to have anything to do with him.

It wasn't that she was hostile towards him; after all, they had grown up together since childhood and had an inseparable bond and affection for each other.

Well, they just can't stand each other's actions, so they don't want to be together, but they're not exactly enemies. On the contrary, they'd both stand up for each other if the other were in real danger.

Unfortunately, Sani's resistance was futile, because before he could convince others to agree with his views, the Great Mammoth suddenly went mad and swallowed them all whole.

Well, it's too late to say anything now.

As for Yang Lei, he was still sitting on the edge of the legal plateau, watching the excitement. In his left hand, he was holding a bottle of strong liquor (whose origin was unknown) soaking pufferfish fins, while in his right hand he was happily eating a large piece of meat.

Because that jar of infused liquor had worked its magic when he ate pufferfish and whales before, it had given Yang Lei's culinary cells far too much 'experience,' which made him somewhat resistant.

Furthermore, with the evolution of food cells to level four, that jar of infused liquor is no longer useful.

Unless he can find higher-grade animal bones and Chinese medicine, as well as wine brewed from high-grade fruits, vegetables and grains.

"Speaking of alcohol, I wonder how my 'Rainbow Cocktail' is fermenting 々."

When the topic of making medicinal liquor came up, Yang Lei couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Before coming to the First Habitat Garden, Yang Lei had already started trying to make wine using rainbow fruits. The main ingredient he used was naturally rainbow fruits, along with air, water, and other ingredients. Although the overall quality was not high, he was looking forward to it because it was his first time making wine.

Just like his cooking skills, he only knew about it in theory before. This was his first time actually doing it, and he only made the simplest cocktail. He was accumulating experience. If he succeeded, he could officially enter the wine industry.

A man sat on a cliff, eating barbecue and drinking wine while watching the commotion below. He would occasionally mutter to himself, not finding it boring at all, but rather amusing.

However, while he found it amusing, the surrounding beasts suffered the consequences.

Despite his seemingly relaxed demeanor, he actually eats quite quickly, and he's even faster at catching prey.

The surrounding beasts were not entirely stupid; they already knew Yang Lei was very strong, so they didn't want to provoke him.

The problem is that Yang Lei will provoke them as soon as he finishes his food, and there's nowhere to hide. He's driving them crazy.

They couldn't defeat him, and in the end, they could only watch helplessly and fearfully as one ferocious beast after another was devoured by him. The other beasts could only pray in silence that he would be able to eat his fill.

To the beasts' disappointment, Yang Lei's stomach was like a bottomless pit. He had already swallowed ten beasts piled together, which weighed as much as a small mountain, but he was still not satisfied. At this moment, he turned his head and set his sights on the next target.

"Garma."

At this point, the beasts could no longer hold on. Their cries became distorted, and it was unclear who struck first, but they scattered and fled in all directions.

Yang Lei was just about to get up when he saw this scene and was taken aback.

"So you guys are afraid after all? You call yourselves ferocious beasts?"

Yang Lei shook his head with amusement. After thinking for a moment, he finally took pity on him. It was because his gourmet cells had reached a certain level. At least he estimated that he could evolve to level five as long as he ate some more gem meat.

So, he didn't bother chasing after the terrified beasts and turned back to look down.

"Has Alu finally met Staju?"

With the Eye of Space and the Byakugan, Yang Lei could easily see through Ligaluru Mengx's body and find Alu and the others directly.

He observed the following battles unfold: Coco and Sani had each defeated a GT robot, while Aru, Komatsu, and Ling's group had encountered Starju and were currently engaged in a major battle.

"I'd better go take a look."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Lei made a move. It wasn't that he was worried about Alu, but since there was no point in leaving him here, he simply used teleportation to enter Ligaluru's body.

When Coco was sucked into the belly of the Ligaluru Mammoth, it was controlled by poison from the inside in order to make it behave. That's why it was able to stay below the Legal Plateau, and Yang Lei was able to easily see the battlefield below.

After all, the Ligaluru Mammoth wasn't a real maze, nor was it trying to protect anyone; its purpose in sucking the Alu and the others into its belly was to eat them.

Therefore, allowing the Ligaluru macaque to move freely would not be a good thing, as it would trigger a large amount of stomach acid to digest the fishy smell in its stomach.

"Is this the flesh of the jewel (Nono's)?"

At this moment, Yang Lei had just appeared in front of a huge chunk of flesh, more than ten meters square, on the body of the Ligalurumon.

Without a doubt, this huge chunk of meat was the meat of the gemstone. It was dazzling, and even the surrounding flesh walls were coated with a layer of colorful light.

Moreover, even though Yang Lei did not replicate A's sense of smell, his olfactory sensitivity was only slightly higher than that of an average person.

But at this moment, he could feel a delicious flavor filling his entire body, as if the taste alone could make him evolve, and even his food cells were restless.

"It seems I underestimated the Gem Flesh. After all, it's an ingredient that Alu and Sani are vying to add to their life's menu, and my Gourmet Cells are only at level four."

"Now it seems that just a small bite is enough for my cells to evolve, and I don't know if I can get any more nutrition from eating it later."

0499 Yang Lei makes his move!

Yang Lei now has two choices: either eat the flesh of the precious stone now, eat enough to evolve himself, and then evolve.

Anyway, the meat of the jewel is a kind of meat that contains countless flavors, and it can be eaten raw without being greasy or fishy.

Another option is to hold back for now and wait until the jewel meat is brought to the research institute before everyone starts eating it together.

Some might say that since Yang Lei doesn't need a large portion, and he himself said that just a small bite is enough to evolve his food cells, why rush it?

That's the situation, but if Yang Lei takes action now, he can easily get more. However, if he waits until everyone shares the spoils, he won't be able to keep any for himself.

Chapter 584

After all, this is the meat of a precious gem. Regardless of its value, its deliciousness alone is enough to justify its name as a precious gem. It's understandable for most people to have a selfish thought, right?

"Unfortunately, I am not a selfish person."

However, Yang Lei didn't even think about this. For him, as long as he could eat, that was enough. There were so many delicious foods in the world, and the culinary world was waiting for him to explore. There was no need to eat alone like this.

Therefore, instead of immediately attacking the flesh of the gemstone, he sat down cross-legged on the spot, turned his head to look in one direction, and looked through the thick flesh wall at the battle that was taking place on the other side of 013.

On the other side of the flesh wall, Alu and the GT robot piloted by Staju were engaged in a fierce battle, which was nearing its end.

Although Alu is very strong now, he is no match for Staju.

Well, right now Alu is only around level 30, and he's not even a match for Rigalu Mengxie.

Staju's strength far exceeds level 80. Even if the GT robot he is piloting cannot unleash his full power, it is still enough to reach level 40.
