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

Blanche asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I had a special feeling, as if there was something over there that I needed, so I decided to go and take a look.”

Xu Yong spoke up, and Blanche could understand what he was saying. People from the culinary world had a lot of knowledge about food and fortune.

"A special feeling? Let's go check it out!"

Blanche also thought of the Food Luck, so naturally she wouldn't stop them, since the Food Luck was taking them to places that must have some good stuff.

Moreover, Blanche was also surprised at this moment, because this situation usually only occurs in people with strong luck in eating.

In the world of demon food, very few people would experience this situation.

And so, the group quickly arrived at their destination, a huge lake as smooth as a mirror, surrounded by numerous flower fields and various kinds of food growing there.

"The ingredients around here only appeared because the Horse King was in a good mood at the time, but there aren't many precious ingredients."

Blanche began, saying that although there are many ingredients here, the more precious the ingredients, the more dangerous they often are; this is the law of nature.

Therefore, in such a completely safe place, the ingredients are good, but not particularly precious. You can't rely on these ingredients to quickly improve your cell level.

"I have a feeling that what I need is in the lake. Let me see what it is!"

As he spoke, Xu Yong used his soul power to scan the entire vast lake, discovering over a dozen fish within it.

These fish range in size from ten to twenty meters. They do not have a ferocious appearance; instead, their bodies shimmer with seven colors.

Most importantly, there are no other large-scale organisms in the entire huge lake, only these dozen or so fish, which is not a normal phenomenon.

“Blanche, you know…”

Xu Yong described the appearance of the fish to Blanche.

"Rainbow fish? There are rainbow fish here?!"

After hearing Xu Yong's description, Blanche recognized what kind of creature this fish was.

"Seven-colored fish? What a fitting name! What are the characteristics of this fish?"

Xu Yong spoke up, sensing the intense aura of food emanating from the seven-colored fish, but he still intended to inquire further to clarify the situation.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Receiving Food-Generating Creatures and Venturing into the Swamp Maze for Treasure.

"The Rainbow Fish is a specialty of the Eighth Continent and does not exist on other continents. Moreover, the Rainbow Fish are extremely rare."

"This fish brings good luck. It has no offensive capabilities, but the creatures around it will not attack it either. In fact, the rainbow fish also has another title: it is known as the talisman of the food world."

"As long as you carry a rainbow fish with you, I wouldn't say you can do whatever you want in the culinary world, but most creatures won't attack someone who carries a rainbow fish."

"However, the number of seven-colored fish is extremely small and rare. I have never seen one with my own eyes. I have only heard about them from the seniors in the Demon Food Realm."

"In the history of our demon-eating world, we have only encountered such fish three times, totaling thirteen in total."

Blanche explained the situation of the rainbow fish.

"Can't rainbow fish be farmed?"

Hisako Niito asked with some confusion, "Since you've caught rainbow bream, why don't you keep them as pets?"

"It's impossible. Rainbow fish are creatures that rely on food luck, and their food luck is extremely strong. The birth of rainbow fish is random. The strong food luck in nature will attach itself to certain fish, and then these fish will be transformed into rainbow fish."

"The rainbow fish cannot reproduce. Regardless of whether someone interferes or not, the result is the same. After the rainbow fish dies naturally, its feeding luck will disappear, and the rainbow fish will become an ordinary fish."

Blanche stated that the wonders of nature are not something they can control at will.

"So, it's okay to take all the rainbow fish here, right?"

Xu Yong said, "The characteristic of the rainbow fish is that it is meant to be caught."

“That’s right. In the past, when we in the Demon Food World discovered the Seven-Colored Fish, we would take it away directly. Afterwards, the person carrying the Seven-Colored Fish would go to some dangerous areas to explore, draw maps, and capture new ingredients at the same time.”

"Although the Demon Devouring Realm has been in the Eighth Continent for a long time and has not been invaded by other races, so far we only know the general division of the Eighth Continent. As for the things in these areas, there is still a lot we don't know."

Blanche stated that although the people of the Demon Food World are not weak, they are completely insignificant in the dangerous world of gourmet food, since there are only two or three people in the Demon Food World with a level exceeding one thousand.

Therefore, if you want to move around in areas where there may be thousands of ferocious beasts, the rainbow fish is indispensable.

"In that case, I'll give you a few of these rainbow fish!"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Yong said that he didn't need the seven-colored fish, but the other four people needed four each. In order to prevent new people from joining the team in the future, Xu Yong kept a few extra fish.

As for the rest, they will naturally be left to the Demon Food World. It just so happens that he originally used the IGO relationship to make this move, but he has no connection with the Food World. So with these few rainbow fish, the people of the Demon Food World will be happy to help him.

"Are you really going to give us the rainbow fish?"

Blanche was also surprised to hear this. Finding the rainbow fish was entirely Xu Yong's doing and had nothing to do with him. So although he was a little envious of the rainbow fish, he had no intention of asking for it.

But Xu Yong actually gave them a few tips, which was really great news.

These few rainbow fish are more than enough. After all, there are only a few strong ones among them, and having more rainbow fish would be a waste.

"Of course, I will be staying in the Demon Food Realm for a while afterward, and I don't know much about the Eighth Continent, so I will need your help."

Xu Yong was just telling the truth.

"Thank you so much. The village chief will be very happy to know, as will everyone else in the Demon Eater Realm."

Blanche said with a smile that he was indeed very grateful for Xu Yong's actions, as Xu Yong had gone from being an unrelated person to a distinguished guest of the Demon Food World.

As he spoke, Xu Yong had already scooped up the colorful fish with a spoon. Fortunately, the fish were not very big, with the largest being only about 20 meters long, so they could be put into the camping monster.

Xu Yong didn't let everyone use the receiving magic immediately, since Blanche was still there. They could wait until they arrived in the Demon Food Realm.

After catching the rainbow fish and collecting some ingredients, the group headed to the Demon Food Realm under Blanche's guidance.

At this moment, Xu Yong thought of the Golden Swamp. To be honest, he felt that there was a very high probability that the steel stepping stones would fall when they went there, after all, the food luck on his body was so strong.

Food luck brings ingredients randomly when he has no specific goal, so he believes that the steel stepping stone will most likely fall.

After some time, the group arrived at the Golden Swamp. Although the place was dangerous, it was undeniably beautiful.

Because the entire eighth continent was almost shrouded in dark clouds, the golden light emanating from the Golden Swamp was particularly dazzling at this moment.

The scenery in the human world was already beautiful enough, but now the scenery of the Golden Swamp is even more breathtaking.

"If it weren't for the danger, countless people would probably come here!"

Looking at the beautiful scenery, everyone remarked with some emotion.

“That’s right. People from our Demon Eater Realm come here from time to time. However, this place is indeed very dangerous. In addition to the ferocious beasts that may appear at any time, there is a huge maze beneath the Golden Swamp. It is said that no one who goes in has ever come out.”

“In the past, some of the predecessors of the Demon Food Realm tried to enter with markings, but after a while they returned the way they came because it was too complicated inside and no human could get out.”

"Moreover, this maze is filled with ferocious beasts and hidden currents. If you are not careful, you will lose your way or even lose your life."

"Another danger is the dark clouds above. These clouds are called steel clouds. Every few hundred years, the steel clouds accumulate enough weight to descend and eventually merge completely with the Golden Swamp."

"At this point, if you appear on the Golden Swamp, it's basically a death sentence."

Blanche said with a serious expression that they had been told about the dangers of this place since they were young, and no one thought that the elders of the Demon Eater world would lie to them about this matter.

The Demon Food Realm is different from the Human Realm. It is located in the Food World, so when teaching younger generations, the people of the Demon Food Realm are very serious and never joke around.

Therefore, Blanche and others wouldn't think that just because they're strong enough, they should go to such places; such people wouldn't be able to thrive in the culinary world.

As Blanche spoke, Xu Yong instructed everyone to return to the whale's body, and then planned to control the whale to enter the Golden Swamp.

"What are you trying to do? Once you go in that place, you'll never come out!"

Blanche asked with some alarm, "I just said the maze is dangerous, and now Xu Yong actually wants to go in."

"You can see it for yourself up there; the steel clouds are starting to press down. Clearly, we have no other way but to enter the maze."

Xu Yong spoke up, saying that the hardness of this steel cloud was astonishing. Even he dared not say that he could destroy it. Don't be fooled by how easily Ma Wang dispersed the steel cloud with a sneeze. But that's Ma Wang. One sneeze from him could also kill Xu Yong instantly.

"How is that possible? It's really been suppressed!"

Blanche was dumbfounded when she saw this.

"Can't we wait until the steel clouds dissipate before we go over?"

Mirajane and the others, who were unfamiliar with Steel Cloud, asked a question.

"It will take several years for Steel Cloud to rise again. Let alone you, I can't wait that long. But do we really want to go down? It's very easy to die there!"

Blanche herself was actually quite curious about the swamp maze, but she never dared to go in.

"Why do you think the steel cloud fell at this moment? The timing was so precise, hundreds of years in the making, and it just happened to fall right when we arrived!"

Xu Yong asked everyone a question.

"Mr. Xu Yong means, food fortune?"

Mirajane considered the possibility of food luck, since while food luck could bring benefits, better ingredients often meant greater danger.

“That’s right, the timing was perfect. Steel Cloud fell just as it was our turn to arrive. This is forcing us into the swamp maze. Obviously, there’s something inside that Food Luck wants me to get.”

Xu Yong could have easily led everyone across the Golden Swamp using spatial magic, but he also wanted to find some ingredients. He wanted the Ghost Clams too, not because they belonged to Toriko in the original story, but because they would definitely belong to Toriko in the future.

Since he arrived first, he naturally had no reason to let Ghost Shell go, so he decided to enter the swamp maze.

As for getting out, that's not difficult either. He has already explored the entire swamp maze with his soul perception. He can find the complete route and lead everyone, including the camping monsters, directly out.

However, he didn't intend to use spatial magic all the time, otherwise he would easily miss out on a lot of ingredients.

“If it were you, you might actually be able to get out, and with those colorful fish around, if you still can’t get out, then no one can.”

Blanche looked at Xu Yong, then at the rainbow fish. Both Xu Yong and the rainbow fish had extremely strong appetites.

If even with their combined luck, they still couldn't get out of this maze, that would be truly bizarre. Thinking of this, Blanche became somewhat excited. After all, this was a swamp maze, a swamp maze that no one had ever walked out of before. If they could walk out, they would naturally be very proud.

"There's no need to deliberately guide its direction; just let the camping monster roam freely."

Xu Yong was well aware that the Food Movement would interfere, so he let the Camping Monster move around on its own, knowing that the Food Movement would interfere with the Camping Monster.

Xu Yong didn't rush to leave through the exit of Weili, after all, he came in to find ingredients, and besides the Ghost Clam, there were other ingredients, although they were not as valuable as the Ghost Clam, they were still very good ingredients.

As for how to take out the ingredients after obtaining the Ghost Shell, it was actually very simple for Xu Yong: it was simply a matter of spatial magic.

It must be said that sometimes the abilities of other worlds can indeed solve many of the problems of this world.

Otherwise, opening the Gold Can is now a very troublesome matter. The Gold Can is made of gold, which is extremely hard. To open it, one must have sufficient strength or a can opener made of the same gold material.

Sufficient strength is required, exceeding that of the Seven Beasts, meaning a level of at least four thousand is necessary to open the Golden Can with brute force.

The camping monster roams freely, and there's no need to worry about encountering danger, since the enemy can't even spot it. As for food, if it comes into contact with the group, they'll simply retrieve it.

"Why are so many of the ingredients here packaged in treasure chests? Is this also a natural phenomenon?"

Looking at the treasure chests in front of her, Erina Nakiri asked her question. This felt like a scene from a manga, where the protagonist fights monsters, levels up, and obtains items in a dungeon.

This requires one premise: that the maze is man-made.

"Actually, back then, there was indeed such a saying circulating in the Demon Food World: the Swamp Maze was built by humans, originating from a civilization that predates humankind. You should have heard of this civilization, Netero!"

Blanche's expression turned very serious. Unlike the human world, where it's rare to encounter the Netero clan, they are a common sight in the Gourmet World.

Although he has never encountered Netero in his entire life, he has encountered him quite a few times according to the records of the Demon Eater World.

(Money is good) Those Netero, having lost their ability to speak, possess terrifying predatory instincts, as if they want to devour everything in the world.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a labyrinth built by the Netero civilization. The Netero civilization has one characteristic: they are obsessed with labyrinths."

"The Food Pyramid, one of the seven culinary wonders of the human world, was once a settlement of Nitero, a human inhabitant. However, due to the disappearance of civilization, the entire city was eventually buried by sand."

"The Gourmet Pyramid is Netero's residence, but its interior is a very complex labyrinth, filled with a large number of ferocious beasts and mechanical contraptions."

Xu Yong said that this might just be a hobby of the Netero tribe, who like to build mazes, and these mazes are getting bigger and bigger, with a lot of food placed inside as prizes.

Fortunately, the Netero clan had excellent preservation methods, so the ingredients inside were mostly intact.

"The Netero clan really has nothing better to do!"

Rukia Kuchiki made a comment.

"They really have too much free time. The Netero race is different from humans. They have an endless lifespan, so they naturally need something to pass the time during this long lifespan."

Xu Yong said with a smile, "It has to be said that the Netero race does have a higher starting point than humans, but their potential is also limited."

The Netero race and the Gourmet Demons both share a type of appetite, but the Gourmet Demons cannot parasitize their bodies.

Once the Netero race reaches a certain stage of growth, it can no longer grow; those blue Netero are the best example of this.

While their strength is second only to the Eight Kings, they will never reach the Eight Kings' level. In a one-on-one head-on fight against the Eight Kings, Blue Netero will inevitably be defeated; the Pairs are the best example of this.
