A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

(PS: Some people say that someone who is always talking to himself is like a moron, and since three of the Four Heavenly Kings have partners, let's have one too. Little Pony makes a dazzling appearance... Although it appeared in the previous chapters, it is indeed in this chapter that it has its first interaction with the protagonist, right?)

0542 The goal is a soup dish pair

While Xiao Ma was soundly asleep, Yang Lei had already started to feast.

At first, it was just a large ant, but later, his appetite was aroused and he couldn't resist, so he caught some more food nearby, such as a centipede with a body segment that was hundreds of meters in diameter, an unbelievably huge scorpion, and even a giant python that was almost as tall as the King of Horses.

One thing that Yang Lei found a bit of a pity was that, despite the large and intimidating size of these ingredients, their grade was actually not high.

Take that giant python for example. It was over 10,000 meters tall and hundreds of thousands of meters long, but it only had a little over 800 levels, not even a thousand.

Therefore, when Yang Lei started eating these ingredients, his food cells hadn't actually grown at all.

However, he didn't feel regretful, since he had eaten some good food.

For a true foodie, eating is never about physical needs or obtaining useful nutrients.

They only eat what they want to eat; as long as it tastes good, they'll try even junk food without fear.

In other words, even though these low-grade ingredients are considered 'outdated' by Yang Lei.

But he still ate with great relish, showing no sign of dislike.

What Yang Lei didn't notice, or rather, he noticed but didn't take it to heart, was that a huge figure was gazing at them from afar. The figure belonged to a giant gorilla that was several thousand meters tall. It was called a gorilla dinosaur and was a 'master' of a class of 1,400.

The Seventh Continent is a continent ruled by apes. After all, the Eighth King of the Seventh Continent is an ape king. Born of apes, he naturally made his race the pinnacle of existence on the Seventh Continent, just like the horse race on the Eighth Continent.

There is a fairly strict order among apes, and this order is also used among other social animals.

On the Seventh Continent, the rankings are based on strength, from lowest to highest: Beginner, Level 10 to Level 6, Level 5 to Level 1, First Dan to Fifth Dan, Sixth Dan to Ninth Dan, Acting Instructor, Instructor, and finally, the Monkey King.

It's easy to imagine that there was only one Ape King.

There are four instructors below the Ape King, who are the beings below one 'ape' and above about five billion 'apes'.

Actually, there is a very strange rule on the Seventh Continent, which was established by these four instructors: that hunting is not allowed.

Because they have the ambition to become the Eight Kings and challenge the existing Eight Kings.

Therefore, they wanted to monopolize most of the resources of the Seventh Continent, and at the same time, control the apes to prevent the emergence of a fifth division.

Right now, Yang Lei is cooking and eating non-stop.

The area where Yang Lei was located was ruled by the gorilla dinosaur, one of the four major normal schools. At this moment, it was looking at the situation in Yang Lei's place, and in particular, it felt the kingly aura in Xiao Ma's body, and couldn't help but have some thoughts.

For some reason, perhaps due to animal instinct, or perhaps because the figure on the distant BaiG Mountain was also watching the relationship between Yang Lei and Xiao Ma, the gorilla dinosaur was unable to issue the order to surround and kill Yang Lei and Xiao Ma, as if it would surely die if it made a move.

Some might say this is nonsense; if gorillas and dinosaurs truly possessed such precognitive abilities, they wouldn't have provoked Alu and his companions in the original story.

Everyone, please think about this carefully: did the gorilla dinosaur in the original story die?

The answer is, of course, no.

So, if it really dares to attack Yang Lei, will it have any chance of survival?

The answer is, of course, no.

This is a different kind of relationship, which is why it can only gaze into the distance and dare not make any move, because whenever it is about to give an order, a slideshow will always appear in front of its eyes, as if it will die at any moment.

Yang Lei genuinely didn't pay attention to orangutans or dinosaurs, and he genuinely didn't notice them.

If he could feel something from paying attention to such low-level things, he would be exhausted.

Just as humans never notice ants when they are being watched, but they are discovered when other humans or wild beasts are observing or probing them.

Not only gorillas and dinosaurs, but Yang Lei didn't even feel the gaze of Bambino, the King of the Apes.

Because his level of attainment was too high, he didn't even take the Eighth Prince seriously.

Chapter 639

People only know the title of King of the Apes, but few know that King of the Apes' real name is Bambina. At the same time, even fewer people know that King of the Apes was originally named Bambino, and Bambina was the name of his deceased lover.

Looking at it this way, the name "Ape King" actually has a rather romantic feel to it...

To commemorate a deceased lover, change your name to that of your lover, and then live on in her place, or even let her name continue to be passed down in the world—isn't that romantic?

. . . . . .

Leaving aside these trivial matters (we've already mentioned enough), let's just say that Xiao Ma was really exhausted. He slept until the early morning of the next day, sleeping for a full half day and a whole night.

Meanwhile, Yang Lei's feast was still going strong; he had been eating since Xiao Ma went to sleep yesterday.

Fortunately, the ingredients were not of high grade, so he was able to digest them quickly; otherwise, he would have been stuffed to death long ago.

With Xiao Ma finally waking up, Yang Lei was finally able to stop.

"It tastes pretty good, would you like to try some?"

Seeing that Xiao Ma had woken up, Yang Lei pointed to a piece of roasted meat on the fire and kindly recommended it.

The pony shook its head. As a descendant of Hercules, the horse king, it was naturally a gas-eating animal. To it, air was food and the source of all power.

As for meat or plant-based foods, it's not that it can't eat them, it's just that it doesn't want to.

"Ok."

Yang Lei didn't try to persuade him further. He shrugged and let Xiao Ma do as he pleased. He tidied up the surroundings, putting away the tools used to cook the ingredients and the last piece of roasted meat. He completely ignored the pile of bones on the ground.

"Let's go."

Yang Lei was seen holding a piece of roasted meat, eating it while calling out to Xiao Ma, and 2.4 had already taken the lead and walked forward.

"Where to?"

Xiao Ma followed beside Yang Lei and casually asked a question.

"Do you even need to ask?"

Yang Lei looked ahead without turning his head and said, "Could there be any other purpose for coming to the Seventh Continent? Of course, it's to enjoy the soup dishes of Earth's full meal."

The little horse was startled. Although it had just been born, it didn't mean it was a blank slate, knowing nothing.

Don't forget that it has just completed a tour of the culinary world, so it should at least know who the Eight Kings are.

In other words, Xiao Ma already knows who they will be facing on their trip.

"You actually dare to make a move on the Monkey King, one of the Eight Kings? Do you know that the soup restaurant PAIR is the Monkey King's... well, you know?"

0543 Clear lava was discovered

As for Yang Lei's true purpose in coming to the Seventh Continent, Xiao Ma felt that he had gone mad. That was the Ape King, one of the Eight Kings, and it was said that even his mother, the Horse King, was slightly weaker than the Ape King.

After all, the Horse King doesn't leap like the Monkey King.

Just as Zebula of the Four Heavenly Kings is a problem child among gourmets, and Brankie is a problem child among chefs, the Monkey King is the problem child among the Eight Kings. You can imagine how difficult this guy is to deal with.

"A minor problem."

But for Yang Lei, it was nothing more than a 'minor problem'.

For Yang Lei, anything that doesn't involve the universe can be ignored.

Unless it's an ingredient that can't be found, there's nothing he can't catch. Even special culinary ingredients don't matter, because he has the analytical power of the Eye of Knowledge and the time reversal of the Eye of Time, so he can always find a way to catch and cook them.

Xiao Ma was somewhat apprehensive about Yang Lei's nonchalant attitude.

However, it reasoned that no matter what, it was still the Horse King's child, and even if it really angered the Ape King, only Yang Lei would die, and it should be fine.

Goodness, this little girl has already learned to be cunning since she was born. I wonder who she got it from.

The Hercules are a type of mythical beast, and theoretically, they are neither male nor female.

But since they reproduce abbreviated by one, and the foal will also carry its own offspring in the future, let's just consider it a girl, otherwise it wouldn't sound right.

Yang Lei was unaware that Xiao Ma was plotting against him. In any case, he was fearless and leisurely led Xiao Ma towards the center of the Seventh Continent.

Yang Lei wasn't in a hurry to reach BaiG Mountain. Anyway, the Ape King was there, so it didn't matter whether he arrived a little earlier or a little later.

On the way, he found the giant plants of the Seventh Continent to be of great interest.

Through his research, he discovered that there were actually no major changes in these plants; they only grew so large because of an overabundance of nutrients.

In this way, he would only collect seeds from plants he didn't have along the way; otherwise, he would just pick out the fruits and vegetables that looked good and eat them as he walked.

This guy is definitely a foodie. He ate barbecue and grilled insects all night yesterday, and then spent the whole day walking around today eating fruit.

Even as he was about to rest in the evening, he grabbed the pony's tail to prevent it from lying down and resting, instead pointing to a huge volcano in the distance and shouting that he wanted to scoop up a spoonful of volcanic lava to taste.

Let me state upfront that Yang Lei isn't courting death. With his current physical condition, ordinary volcanic lava wouldn't burn him to death. Even if he accidentally fell in, he would just consider it as soaking in a lava hot spring.

Furthermore, this volcano is different from ordinary volcanoes. The lava inside is not the kind found in normal volcanoes, but rather a soup dish from the menu of the pressure point master Jiro, called 'Clear Stewed Lava', with a capture level as high as 2,800.

As everyone knows, Jiro's identity is not just that of a pressure point master as known to the outside world. In fact, he is also the second disciple of the God of Gourmet Food, Akashia, and can be considered his adopted son.

At the same time, in addition to this identity, Jiro is also the son of the Wolf King, originally named Niro.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying his strength must be. He is currently one of the top ten strongest people on Earth, and he even has a certain chance of winning against the Eight Kings. At least he wouldn't be easily defeated.

The fact that he chose clear lava soup and ultimately added it to his menu shows that it must have its own unique flavor and deliciousness. Yang Lei was naturally unwilling to miss it and wanted to go and savor it properly.

Chapter 640

Little Horse was truly at his wit's end.

During the day, while they were traveling, Xiao Ma asked Yang Lei countless times why they didn't hurry up.

Since Little Horse can circle the food world in a week, it must be incredibly fast, although the Rainbow Bridge certainly played a significant role in that.

But Yang Lei disagreed, because he wanted to eat the delicacies of the Seventh Continent as he traveled, and also wanted to look for ingredients of level three or four thousand.

In other words, although they had been walking all day, they hadn't even covered half of the gorilla-dinosaur master's territory yet, and Little Horse was getting tired of it.

It already knows its mission to travel the world with Yang Lei; in other words, the sooner it completes its journey through the culinary world, the sooner it can be freed.

If it keeps moving at this snail's pace, when will this journey ever end? Is it destined to have an ambiguous relationship with this damned human for the rest of its life?

Luckily, Yang Lei didn't know the analogy Xiao Ma was using, otherwise he would definitely be furious. To be ambiguous with a little broken-down horse that can't even tell male from female? You might as well just kill him.

In the end, Xiao Ma still couldn't persuade Yang Lei. Yang Lei dragged him backward by the tail all the way to the foot of Qingdun Lava Volcano.

It's fortunate that Xiao Ma isn't an ordinary horse, otherwise he would have dragged him to death long ago.

"Ok?"

There was no time to lament about his tail. When he arrived at the foot of the volcano, the little pony suddenly sniffed his nose with a somewhat conflicted expression.

"Sniff."

It's not eating; it's just smelling the aroma.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

Xiao Ma suddenly asked this question using his mind, which surprised Yang Lei.

"original."

Yang Lei turned his head and looked at Xiao Ma with a complicated expression, and accused him: "You don't dislike eating other foods, but you dislike eating low-grade foods? Only things above level two thousand can catch your eye? You are really picky about food."

Little Ma recalled its arrogant attitude when it refused to be fed by Yang Lei, and its little face turned red. It stared at Yang Lei with its big eyes, grinding its little teeth, as if it hated Yang Lei to death.

This was the first time it had encountered this situation. In the past, when it smelled the things Yang Lei ate, it only felt a wave of disgust. Just thinking about that greasy feeling was enough to make it nauseous.

But this time was different. The aroma wafting from the mountain made its mouth water. It was the first time it had ever thought of eating food other than the air.

But what is Yang Lei doing? He looks quite resentful because it wouldn't eat when he fed it before.

Nonsense, it's not his pet, why would he feed it?

But in fact, Xiao Ma saw the mockery in Yang Lei's eyes clearly. Was this bastard teasing it for being a picky eater with a princess complex?

"We are sworn enemies."

The little horse secretly resolved that when it grew up, it would definitely kick him and send him on a free interstellar trip.

Little Horse is wise enough to know that he is not yet a match for his opponent.

Unfortunately, what it didn't know was that even if it grew up, it wouldn't be a match for Yang Lei, because even its mother, the Great Horse King, couldn't do anything to Yang Lei with a single hoof strike.

"Okay, that's enough."

After teasing the pony for a while, Yang Lei finally became serious, loosened the pony's tail that he had been carrying on his shoulder like a rope, and called out, "Come on, come on, Uncle will take you to have some soup."

Little Ma finally snapped, its big white teeth flashing as it chased after Yang Lei, snapping and biting him.
