Food: I found Eri Nakiri in the world of Food Prisoners

At this moment, Staju was somewhat puzzled. He already knew about Toriko's strength. Although there was another Heavenly King present, he could not pose a threat to him.

"Qiao Niang, please help me find out who the IGO personnel are who went to the First Ecosystem this time."

Staju said to Qiao Niang in the control room that Qiao Niang was also responsible for collecting information about the Gourmet Gathering.

Chapter Forty-Six: Capturing the Gem Flesh

"Has it been resolved? The difference is indeed enormous!"

Sani and the others rushed over from next door, only to see the GT robot whose core had been smashed by a single punch. Clearly, Xu Yong had also taken down this GT robot instantly.

Sani had a deep impression of this gray-black GT robot. When he sensed its presence just now, he had the feeling of being targeted by a top predator.

It's fair to say that, as both are GT robots, the one he just faced is completely incomparable to this one.

"Let's not dwell on this now, or Toriko's life might be in danger!"

After putting the GT robot away, Xu Yong said, "We can give this GT robot to IGO for research when we get back. This one should be slightly more advanced than the other GT robots."

"Toriko? You've launched a self-destructive attack?!"

Upon seeing Toriko, Sani immediately assessed Toriko's condition. He was covered in blood and clearly had suffered severe injuries, but his aura was surging dramatically, even after the battle had ended, his energy was still leaking out.

Clearly, this is the effect of activating Self-Eater. Each of the Four Heavenly Kings activated Self-Eater during their training at IGO, so they are naturally very clear about Toriko's condition.

"That guy just snapped my neck. If I hadn't activated the self-eating technique, I would have been dead. Luckily, Xu Yong arrived quickly, and no one else was injured."

Toriko breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Komatsu and Rin were unharmed.

"His neck is broken?!"

Hearing this, those who were unaware of the consequences of their actions were stunned. After all, having one's neck broken was practically a death sentence, yet Toriko was still standing there perfectly fine.

"This is the effect of self-feeding. It can restore the body to its peak condition in a short time. However, this state can only last for a few minutes. If the deficiency cannot be replenished after a few minutes, death is inevitable. Quickly find the Gem Flesh!"

Sani quickly said that the most important thing now is to find the Jewel Flesh and get Toriko to eat it, so that there will be no problem.

"No need to look anymore, it's right next door!"

As Xu Yong spoke, he slashed at the empty space beside him with his right hand in the shape of a palm blade. He did not use the black peeler; it was simply because his physical strength was high enough that this palm blade instantly split open a wall of flesh beside him.

Fortunately, the Ligalu Mammoth was large enough that the damage caused inside its body was barely noticeable to it.

The moment the flesh was sliced ​​open, a dazzling golden light shone out.

At the same time, a rich aroma began to waft through the air.

"It was hidden in a sealed space. This maze is really deceptive. The light from outside didn't shine out from the passage, but went straight through the fleshy walls and illuminated the entire interior of the Ligalu Mammoth."

After entering, everyone looked around and discovered that it was a closed space.

In the very center of the space is a fleshy ball with a diameter of over two meters. This is the Gem Flesh, the flesh born from the essence of the entire body of the Ligalu Mammoth.

Although the gem-encrusted flesh before him was indeed awe-inspiring, Sani had already cut off a piece of it with his own hair.

"We were supposed to enjoy this together, but now you're the one who's going to benefit!"

Sani presented the piece of meat to Toriko.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Toriko didn't stand on ceremony with the others. Under normal circumstances, he would have shared with everyone, but his body wouldn't allow him to do so now. If he didn't eat something good soon, he would be doomed.

As Toriko swallowed a piece of gemstone meat, his muscles bulged and expanded, and his aura surged.

The phantom of the red demon also appeared above Toriko's head, and this oppressive aura spread in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yong immediately stood in front of Erina Nakiri and the others, blocking the oppressive aura.

"My body has recovered, and my gourmet cells have been activated. The aftereffects of self-eating have also been relieved. However, what I care about most is the deliciousness of the gem meat."

"It's almost impossible to tell what part of the meat this piece is from. Just now, I tasted the texture of liver, cartilage, and pork belly. The flavor kept changing."

"Besides, the flavors are not chaotic, but rather layered and distinct. It's truly unimaginable that such meat exists in this world."

Toriko's eyes lit up as he looked at the jeweled flesh in front of him. His body was actually glowing, but the jeweled flesh's light was so dazzling that it overshadowed the light emanating from his body.

“I know the Gem Flesh is delicious, but you don’t need to go into such detail. Speaking of which, I’ve always wanted to ask you something: who is she? I don’t remember her being here when we came in.”

Sani shook his head and looked at Mirajane beside him. There were seven people in total when they came in, plus Xiao Mo and Terry, but what's with this eighth person who suddenly appeared?

"Yes, there are seven of us in total. And who is this young lady?"

Komatsu also realized that he and Rin had been focused on Toriko and hadn't noticed Mirajane's presence. After Sani reminded them, the group was also very confused.

"The person we just found inside the Ligalu mammoth is a friend of mine named Mirajane Strauss."

Xu Yong naturally had to step in to smooth things over. Mirajane's location was rather awkward; she hadn't expected to fall directly into the body of the Ligalu Mammoth.

So let's just say he's a friend. That way, even if Sani and Toriko still have doubts, they won't press him for details.

As for Mirajane, she nodded quickly, because Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto had already told her the basic situation while they were traveling.

He also warned her not to casually reveal that she was a visitor from another world.

After arriving in this world, Erina Nakiri and the others also looked up information about the other world, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

Therefore, their situation must be very rare, and in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, such things should naturally be kept hidden.

Mirajane was initially flustered when Sani asked the question, unsure how to answer, but since Xu Yong had already said so, she naturally followed him.

"Since you're your friend, there's no problem. Now let's take the gem flesh away first."

Sani and Aru understood the meaning behind Xu Yong's words and did not ask any further questions.

Chapter 47 Mirajane's Situation

"I'll take some of the gem meat. Next, I need to go to other parts of the First Ecological Zone to hunt some more ingredients. You guys go back first!"

As Xu Yong spoke, he directly cut off one-third of the gemstone flesh and put it into his spatial storage.

This was actually his own plan. After all, besides the Gem Meat, there were many other ingredients in the First Ecological Zone, and Xu Yong wouldn't simply capture one kind of ingredient and leave.

The others nodded in agreement, indicating that they had no objection. To be honest, they felt that Xu Yong taking one-third of the Gem Flesh this time was a bit too little.

After all, the capture of the Gem Flesh was entirely due to Xu Yong's efforts. Without Xu Yong, let alone capturing the Gem Flesh, it would have been questionable whether they could even return alive.

As for Xu Yong, there was a reason why he took away one-third of the gem flesh instead of more.

One-third of it was undoubtedly divided among Toriko and his group, while the last third was left to IGO, since this was the first ecological zone controlled by IGO.

Soon, the group successfully left the maze and headed upwards. Along the way, Mirajane had a lot of questions she wanted to ask. Putting aside everything else, she wondered why the surrounding environment was so eerie.

It looks like a giant maze, but strangely, the surrounding walls are made of flesh and blood.

However, she soon understood. When the group emerged from the mouth of the Ligalu mammoth, Mirajane finally realized why the environment inside was so eerie.

Because they were inside the body of a colossal beast as large as a mountain, and the maze was formed within its body, Mirajane was still shocked by the size of the beast, even though she came from a magical world.

"Otoko, Sani!"

Just as everyone was leaving, a voice came, and when they looked over, they saw a person standing on the ground, with a huge purplish-black crow next to him.

"It's Mr. Coco!"

Xiaosong was pleasantly surprised to see Coco and exclaimed in delight. Their previous adventure in the beach cave had made them very close.

Komatsu was like a male succubus in front of the Four Heavenly Kings. The other three didn't find partners. Although Gigi arranged a temporary partner for them later on, they all regarded Komatsu as their partner before that.

"Coco, what brings you here?!"

Toriko and Sani were quite happy; three of the Four Heavenly Kings were here, and as long as Zebula didn't show up, it would be a good thing.

"I received the message from the director, so I rushed over immediately. But it seems I'm too late. You've already captured the Gem Flesh. But why is a piece missing?"

Sani saw the gem flesh that Sani was holding up with his hair. However, it should have been a perfect circle, but now a large piece was missing. Judging from the amount, about a third of it was missing.

“Xu Yong took that third. He’s going to go and hunt other ingredients, so he’ll have to be separated from us for a while.”

Sani gave a simple explanation, and Coco suddenly understood.

"By the way, what should we do with this big guy?"

At this moment, Ling pointed at the Ligalu Mammoth and asked, "This big guy is still under pressure point control."

"Don't worry, the pressure point will be released automatically in a little over two hours. The wild beasts here won't dare to approach it. Two hours should be enough time for its cubs to return!"

Xu Yong did not immediately release the pressure points, after all, this big guy was frantically looking for his child, and if it were to jump off the Lijialu Plateau, the creatures and environment below would not be able to withstand its rampage.

Two hours is enough time for Little Lijiaru Mammoth to return, and by then the pressure point technique will be lifted, and the opponent won't leave.

"When I arrived, the tests on Little Lijaru Mammoth had already been completed. No gem flesh had formed inside its body, but it will take some time for it to return."

Coco also told everyone about the baby elephant's situation.

"In that case, let's part ways here, everyone!"

Xu Yong spoke first, and then everyone parted ways.

"Mr. Xu Yong, thank you so much for what you did earlier!"

At this moment, Mirajane also thanked Xu Yong, since Xu Yong had helped her when the others asked the question earlier.

She could tell that those people were not simple, and the aura released by the activation of Toriko's cells was quite strong.

If these people really want to target her, it won't be a good thing for her, since her magic is still in a self-sealed state.

Even if her magic power were restored, she wouldn't dare say she could defeat those guys from before.

"You're welcome. Let me tell you about your specific situation first!"

The group sat on Xiao Mo's lap and began to discuss the issue. Mirajane also shared some general information about her world.

"The magical world... I've only ever seen it in comics before. What kind of magic does Miss Mirajane know?"

After listening, Erina Nakiri couldn't help but ask. Although her culinary skills were quite good now, magic was something she had fantasized about since childhood, so she was very curious.

"The magic I possess is called Receiving Magic, but due to some special reasons, I am currently unable to use magic."

Mirajane's expression turned somewhat off as she spoke. The others didn't know the specific reason, but Xu Yong knew that Mirajane had become arrogant after becoming an S-class mage.

He took his younger siblings on a dangerous S-rank mission. Why would Makarov place an S-rank mission on the second floor and forbid other mages besides S-rank from touching it?

Furthermore, Fairy Tail has extremely strict requirements for S-class mages. Natsu and others would have become S-class mages long ago in other guilds, but they still wouldn't be able to in Fairy Tail.

It's because Makarov and his team are well aware that S-class missions are fraught with uncertainty, and intelligence may not always be accurate.

Therefore, one must gain their approval to become an S-class mage, and even then, it cannot be guaranteed that they will be 100% safe.

Mirajane took her still very weak younger siblings on an S-rank mission, which ultimately led to Lisanna being sucked into the continent of Edolas. Lisanna herself developed psychological trauma and stopped using her magic, essentially sealing herself away.

Actually, once she understands, she can use magic whenever she wants. Judging from what she said, it's clear that the current storyline hasn't reached the point where Laxus triggers a civil war yet, so her magic is still in a self-sealed state.

Chapter 48 Food Fate: Where Did the Black Pot Come From?

"Receive magic? What kind of magic is that?"

Upon hearing the term "receiving magic," both Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto had question marks appearing above their heads.

The magic comics they had read were all traditional types of magic, in which magicians would stand behind others holding staffs, chanting spells and casting magic using various elemental spells.

As for receiving magic, they truly didn't understand.

"Accepting magic means that you can use magic to fuse magical beasts or other creatures into your body. During the fusion process, your appearance will also become somewhat similar to these creatures..."

Mirajane explained the concept of receiving magic to everyone.

"Wow, that's amazing! It can absorb the power of other creatures to use. Could that Ligalu mammoth from earlier have absorbed it?"

Erina Nakiri suddenly asked this question, which stunned Mirajane. Not to mention her, even Xu Yong was taken aback.

"This... I'm not entirely sure either, but the creatures we receive must have magic power within them. I don't know if the creatures in this world have magic power, and I can't use this magic right now either."

Mirajane shook her head.

"We've reached the edge, everyone please be careful."

During the conversation, Xiao Mo had already arrived at the edge of the Rigalu Plateau. Upon hearing this, Erina Nakiri and the other person held onto Xiao Mo tightly.

As for Mirajane, although the situation is unknown, she followed suit.

Once she had a firm grip on Xiao Mo, she understood what was going on, because they were climbing down an incredibly high cliff.
