Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Qinglong Academy.

An hour later, the four of them returned to school one after another.

I brought all the necessary items, including a barbecue grill, charcoal, and iron skewers.

The most eye-catching item was the exquisite lunchbox that Xu Liyue was carrying.

The lunchbox contained neatly arranged sliced ​​sandwiches and pastries that looked incredibly tempting in terms of shape and color.

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Chen's golden vertical pupils.

Unexpectedly, Xu Liyue, the future empress, possesses such a skill.

"Everything is ready, let's go."

Su Chen turned around and tore open a spatial rift.

……

Still water lake.

Lin Fan, Chu Yunfeng, and Kong Bowen emerged from the spatial rift one after another.

Xu Liyue, holding the spatial sphere, was the last to emerge.

To avoid scaring the water monster away with his presence, Su Chen had no choice but to compromise and once again reside in the space sphere.

With a thought, the headless body of the Flaming Bear left the system space and fell in front of everyone.

Within the system space, the Flame Bear's meat remains absolutely fresh, still retaining the warmth it had when it was alive.

"Is this a Flame Bear?" Kong Bowen's eyes lit up when he saw the bear's body engulfed in flames.

"What, have you eaten it?" Chu Yunfeng asked.

"Hmm." Kong Bowen nodded, excitedly saying, "The meat of the Flaming Bear is incredibly delicious! The texture is completely different from ordinary bear meat; it's tender and fragrant, and eating it can even enhance your qi and blood."

"This stuff is not available on the market. When it is available, the price is as high as several thousand yuan per kilogram. I ate it once when I was a child at my grandfather's house, and I have never eaten it since."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was somewhat surprised.

It just randomly killed a lucky audience member; I really didn't expect Kong Bowen's evaluation to be so high.

"Get ready to grill, my stomach is already rumbling."

Recalling the mouthwatering taste of the Flaming Bear, Kong Bowen couldn't help but swallow hard.

With the four working together, the Fiery Bear was quickly skinned, skewered into strings of bear meat, and placed on the grill.

Xu Liyue raised her finger and gently touched the charcoal, which instantly burst into flames.

Lin Fan and Chu Yunfeng were in charge of grilling the meat, brushing it with oil and sprinkling on seasonings from time to time.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, the bear meat sizzled and soon turned an enticing golden brown.

Oil seeped from the surface of the bear meat and dripped onto the charcoal.

Each time the grease dripped onto the charcoal fire, it was accompanied by an enticing aroma.

Finally, the first batch of skewers was ready.

Kong Bowen picked up a skewer, blew on it twice, and then ate it in one bite.

The aroma of caramelized meat spread, and the fat mixed with the meat juices melted on the tongue.

His eyes lit up suddenly, and he gave a thumbs up: "That's the taste!"

Lin Fan, Chu Yunfeng, and Xu Liyue each picked up a skewer, took a bite, and successively showed expressions of surprise.

The price of ferocious beast meat is mostly extremely expensive, and the meat of fear-level ferocious beasts is even rarer.

This was the first time they had ever tasted such a delicious dish.

Just then, Xu Liyue suddenly remembered something, picked up a skewer of bear meat and handed it to the space sphere: "Teacher, you should have some too."

Su Chen thought for a moment, then opened the snake's mouth and swallowed the bear meat directly into it.

Soon, a hint of approval flashed in Su Chen's snake eyes.

This was the first time he had eaten cooked meat since he transmigrated to this world.

This taste was something he truly missed.

I remember when I worked in the mountains in my previous life, the children were often emaciated and pale from hunger because of food shortages.

Su Chen often goes hunting in the mountains during holidays. If he is lucky enough to catch wild rabbits and pheasants, he will invite the students to his home for a barbecue.

Just then, Su Chen suddenly narrowed his snake-like eyes.

Beneath the surface of the lake, a huge black shadow was silently rising slowly from the deep water.

Several strings of bubbles rose to the surface of the water.

The next second, the lake water suddenly burst open, and a huge creature appeared before them.

It was a monster that looked like a herbivorous dinosaur (Brachysaurus), with three extremely long necks, each topped with a ferocious head.

The six eyes on its head were fixed on Lin Fan and the others who were eating barbecue.

Clearly, this is the water monster Cao Yue was talking about.

"Finally, he couldn't hold back anymore." Su Chen let out a cold laugh.

Just then, the water monster suddenly sprang up, its three gaping maws simultaneously lunging at Lin Fan, Chu Yunfeng, and Kong Bowen, who were closest to the shore.

The aura of this water monster has reached the level of calamity!

However, the three of them remained completely calm, without even summoning their respective martial spirits.

"Teacher," Xu Liyue called softly, looking at the spatial sphere in her hand.

Su Chen nodded slightly at the snake's head.

The space sphere shattered instantly, and a massive snake body over eighty meters long appeared out of thin air. Its tail swept across, delivering a merciless blow that sent all three of the water monster's heads flying.

At the same time, Su Chen's figure transformed into a black lightning bolt and entered the water, quickly wrapping around the water monster's body.

As Su Chen's snake body slowly tightened, the water monster's massive body began to crack and shatter.

The monster's three heads simultaneously let out mournful cries, desperately shaking their necks in an attempt to break free.

However, its proud power was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree in front of Su Chen, unable to budge Su Chen in the slightest.

Seeing that it could not break free from Su Chen's grasp, the water monster's six eyes flashed with a green light at the same time.

The next moment, its body suddenly shrank, becoming only the size of a fist in the blink of an eye.

The shrunken water monster plunged into the lake with a splash and swam frantically towards the depths of the lake.

"Trying to run away?" Su Chen sneered.

It had long known that the water monster possessed the ability to change its size, and naturally had already devised a countermeasure.

"【Devour】".

Su Chen opened the snake's mouth, and a terrifying suction force instantly surged out from it.

The lake water swirled upwards, forming a whirlpool that Su Chen swallowed into his mouth.

The water level dropped rapidly at a visible speed, revealing rocks that had been submerged by the lake for countless years.

1/4.

1/3.

1/2.

The system's crisp notification sound finally rang out only after all the water in the entire Sunken Moon Lake had been drained and swallowed by Su Chen.
