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

"It's Yi Long and his two companions. These three guys are still in the human realm, and they've unleashed such a powerful aura. There's also an unfamiliar aura that's no weaker than theirs."

The blue Neteros were also very puzzled after sensing these powerful pressures, wondering what had happened in the human realm.

Chapter 130 Blue Netero's Reaction, Ichiryu Reveals the Truth

"How could those few unleash such a powerful aura in the mortal realm?"

The Blue Neteros couldn't understand why these people would cause such a disturbance in the Human Realm. The Human Realm was different from the Gourmet World. Even if these guys caused a disturbance in the Gourmet World, it would cause quite a commotion, let alone in the fragile Human Realm.

Such a powerful burst of pressure would be a catastrophic disaster in the human realm.

"I don't know, but besides those few, there's another very unfamiliar aura, no weaker than theirs. Who could it be?"

Pair was both puzzled and worried. He knew about Acacia's plan and was well aware that Acacia was gambling everything, not just theirs, but the entire planet.

The plan already had a low probability of success, but now that this unexpected event has occurred, the probability of success has become even lower.

Like the three chefs in Red Netero, Pair learned about emotions from humans. Before meeting Acacia, Pair didn't even know what tears were; she only felt that her eyes were drooling.

Their appetite is completely different from that of humans, and they find it difficult to understand human emotions. For them, everything in the past was about eating.

In fact, appetite also has emotions, but people themselves are unaware of them.

"No matter who it is, whether they're on humanity's side or not, those three were already difficult to deal with, and now there's another one!"

The Blue Neteros were also very helpless. They would rather face the Eight Kings than the three strongest people in the human world, because these three were simply unreasonable in their strength.

They were all puzzled as to how Acacia had managed to uncover these three freaks back then.

If these three people act together, then without a doubt, they will have no choice but to flee in panic. The only good news is that the three tigers and one dragon are opposing forces.

But now there's one more, which is quite terrifying. You have to understand that as beings with endless lifespans, their strength limit is locked. They are no match for the Eight Kings in a one-on-one fight, let alone the three strongest beings in the human world.

Furthermore, the Blue Neteros were not entirely clear about the strength of the three strongest beings in the human world. They didn't even know that Jiro was the son of the Wolf King Ginnes, nor did they know that Jiro's gourmet cells had long since reached 100%.

Jiro alone could wipe out all of their Blue Neteros; the only thing they knew was that these three powerful figures were very difficult to deal with.

That is why, for so many years, they have basically not gone to the human world, nor dared to arrest people on a large scale. Otherwise, if Yi Long and his group came knocking on their door, the consequences would be very serious.

Of the three powerful figures, they feared Yi Long the most. Although Yi Long lost to the Three Tigers in the original story, he never used the power of the Gourmet Demon.

Otherwise, if Yilong's body were used as a vessel to unleash the power of the leader slime, the three tigers would probably be completely overwhelmed and beaten.

It was precisely because Yi Long was too strong that he was simply banned. Even when faced with the resurrection of the leader slime, Yi Long chose to refuse.

"First, we need to find out who this person is."

After discussing it, the Blue Neteros decided to first find out Xu Yong's identity.

"Put away your pressure for now and listen to me. You are no match for Master Acacia right now. If you want to fight him, you need to eat a few kinds of food."

Yi Long said with a serious expression. At this moment, he realized the harm caused by his aura, so he immediately withdrew his aura.

Upon hearing this and seeing Yi Long's expression, the three tigers temporarily suppressed their aura.

For the three tigers, Yilong was always their elder brother, and to be honest, no one in this group had ever mistreated them; everyone treated them very well.

However, the three tigers had always relied heavily on Flose, which is why their personalities changed drastically after Flose's death.

"Do you know how strong that guy is?"

Sanhu asked, "Acacia is very strong, Sanhu knows that very well, but he doesn't know exactly how strong Acacia is."

Back then, they were too weak for Acacia, so they couldn't force Acacia to use their full strength.

Upon hearing Yi Long's words, the three tigers couldn't help but ask. Back then, Yi Long was the strongest among them, and probably only Yi Long knew Acacia's strength.

“Teacher Acacia is very strong. He was strong back then, even stronger than the Eight Kings. And after all these centuries, who knows how strong he has become? If you go to him with your current strength, you won’t get revenge and you’ll lose your life.”

"After all, I'm not sure now whether Acacia-sensei is still the same Acacia-sensei as before."

Yi Long shook his head as he spoke.

"What do you mean?"

The three tigers were puzzled by this, and even Jiro was a little confused. It was obvious that they didn't know as much as Ichiryu, but that made sense.

Xu Yongke knew who Yi Long knew. He knew the three chefs in Red Nitro, and Yi Long had given them their names.

Secondly, there's the leader slime inside NEO's body. Even if Red Netero doesn't know much about NEO, the leader slime, who was once NEO's opponent, must know everything.

Now that the leader slime has been completely assimilated by Yi Long, he naturally cannot hide these things from Yi Long.

"Chairman Yilong, shouldn't you leave first?"

Before Yi Long could answer San Hu's question, Yoda and the others spoke up, their faces covered in cold sweat.

There was no other way. First, I was so intimidated by the aura emanating from these people that I thought I was going to die. Then I heard a shocking secret. If I continued to listen, who knows what I would hear? So I had to leave as soon as possible.

"That's fine then, everyone please take care."

Yi Long nodded. Indeed, it was best not to let Yoda and the others know about this. Although it wouldn't matter if they knew, Yoda and the others would definitely be under tremendous pressure.

Now that Yoda and the others have proposed to leave, he naturally agrees.

Hearing this, Yoda and the others breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the room. They planned to leave the Food Tower immediately; this place was too terrifying, and they wanted to get as far away as possible.

However, now that Xu Yong, Erina Nakiri, and the others have stayed, no one has said anything about it.

Xu Yong's strength is no less than theirs, so he is naturally qualified to know about this matter. As for Xu Yong's partners, they are already partners, so there is no need to hide it from them.

"You can say it now!"

After seeing Yoda and the others leave, Sanhu urged them on, eager to know the truth.

"The information I have comes from Gigi and the food demon inside me."

"The Gourmet Demon that Teacher Acacia possesses is named NEO, and NEO is a very special existence among the many Gourmet Demons."

"According to the leader slime, NEO does not eat normal food, but rather emotions. NEO's favorite emotion is despair."

"NEO is also very special, possessing the power to devour everything. In ancient times, after NEO came to this universe, it fought against the leader slime, and the final result was NEO's death."

"According to the leader slime, NEO's gourmet cells are highly aggressive, so NEO will influence the host's thoughts as the host becomes stronger."

Yi Long told everyone what he knew, and NEO was indeed very different from the other Gourmet Demons.

Other delicacies, while capable of emerging to fight, cannot affect the host. NEO, however, is different. Even without being fully resurrected, NEO can still influence Acacia's consciousness.

The final plot of Toriko does indeed follow Acacia's plan, but some events that occurred along the way may not be.

Under NEO's influence, Acacia's personality changed drastically, and at one point NEO even devoured her consciousness.

This is one of the reasons why Acacia initially asked Yi Long to kill him, since his plan was fraught with uncertainty.

The success rate was practically zero, and even though he was the one who devised the plan, he was still quite apprehensive.

To be honest, Acacia isn't a very good guy, since his goal is to save his appetite, which is NEO.

However, in order to save his appetite, he did not hesitate to kill his apprentice and plotted to kill his lover. Although he wanted to revive Flose at the time, it was only to get Flose to support his plan.

Perhaps it was because he saw this clearly that Flose simply gave up on resurrection. After all, in Acacia's heart, no matter who it was, no matter what kind of family member, apprentice, wife, or child it was, they all sacrificed themselves for O.

So Xu Yong naturally disliked this guy too, after all, he also lived on Earth, and Acacia's actions had dragged him into it as well.

"So, it's very likely that Acacia's consciousness was replaced by NEO's?"

Jiro touched his chin and then asked.

“That’s right, it’s possible, but ultimately, it’s all part of Acacia-sensei’s own plan.”

Yi Long is no longer the same Yi Long he once was. After growing for hundreds of years, Yi Long has come to realize what kind of person Acacia really is.

So he didn't speak well of Acacia, and the only reason he still calls him "teacher" is because Acacia taught him a lot back then.

"So no matter what, he's still an enemy, right?"

After listening, Sanhu also came to the conclusion that although Acacia's consciousness was affected by NEO, he had already carried out the plan from the beginning.

Therefore, the three tigers still regarded him as an enemy.

"There's nothing wrong with thinking that way, since judging from the current trend, we are bound to become adversaries."

Yi Long nodded. Although he didn't want to be enemies with his teacher, he would not hold back if the whole world was threatened.

"In that case, those eight ingredients are mine!"

The three tigers were quite domineering, directly declaring that all eight ingredients belonged to them.

"impossible!"

However, the next second, Yi Long directly refuted the three tigers' statement.

Although he knew that Sanhu needed eight ingredients to take revenge, he couldn't simply give the ingredients to Sanhu.

"It seems we still have to fight!"

Sanhu didn't want to fight Yilong, but he wouldn't hold back in order to achieve his goals.

"Let me say this first, although you are strong, do you know how difficult it is to cook these eight ingredients? Does anyone in your culinary world know how to prepare these ingredients?"

Xu Yong was speechless. The three tigers were strong, but to capture the eight ingredients, the food hunters and chefs would need to work together.

Although there is a large bamboo plant in the food, it is currently unable to process several types of ingredients.

Given the culinary scene's rich heritage, even if these ingredients were placed in front of Sanhu, he wouldn't be able to eat much of them.

It's important to know that there are two ways to obtain the cooking methods for the eight ingredients: one is to learn from Gigi and the others, and the other is to hear the sounds of the ingredients.

Although Otake and Kome eventually cooked GOD with Komatsu, they couldn't have done it on their own without Komatsu's guidance.

Upon hearing Xu Yong's words, all three fell silent.

Jiro and Ichiryu also looked at the three tigers. It wasn't that they looked down on the Gourmet Association, but rather that even IGO couldn't find many people who could cook these ingredients, even if they knew how to cook them.

Only the blue and red Nitros knew the cooking method, which is why Ichiryu and the others were able to know how to cook it.

There's really no way to deal with the Three Tigers' culinary skills. If we let them research on their own, it might take forever.

Sanhu remained silent because he realized that he really couldn't find many strong chefs. Although everyone in the Gourmet Association was a good cook, there were still eight ingredients to prepare.

What happened to the ingredients in Froze's dish 8 back then? The person went out on foot, but came back carried by Acacia, and was almost dead.

Why did Sanhu go to find Liaoshui? Wasn't it because of this? So he didn't think that the members of his organization could compare to Flose.

Thinking of this, Sanhu naturally fell silent.

"In addition, another of the eight ingredients has been captured by us and cooked by my partner."

Xu Yong said that Sanhu really had no way to deal with these ingredients. Even if the food might collapse because of him this time, neither the Food Association nor IGO could handle the eight ingredients.

"Can you cook eight ingredients?"

At this moment, Sanhu looked at Xu Yong and the others.

"That's right, you don't need to try anything with us. After all, others may fear you, Sanhu, but I'm not."

Xu Yong spoke up, knowing full well what the three tigers were planning, since in the original story, the Food Society had taken away many chefs.

But he's still here. If Sanhu dares to act recklessly, he wouldn't mind fighting him to the death.

Chapter 131 The Arrogant Three Tigers, A Battle That Shakes the Earth

"Go to the culinary world; the human world can't withstand our antics."

After Xu Yong finished speaking, he noticed that Sanhu's fighting spirit was rising. Clearly, this guy didn't intend to give up so easily. Similarly, Xu Yong was also very interested in his strength. Since that was the case, let's have a fight.

Xu Yong is not afraid of the three tigers now, since they haven't eaten any food yet, whereas the three tigers in the later part of the story ate six kinds of food.

The difference between not eating one type and eating six types is quite significant.

For Sanhu, the existence or non-existence of the human world is irrelevant. He is neither Ichiryu nor Jiro, and he has no ties to the human world. In fact, he even hates the human world. Therefore, in the original work, his attacks are directly aimed at the human world.

As a result, the human realm has become a barren wasteland. But now that Ichiryu and Jiro are here, he knows very well that if he dares to make a move in the human realm, the two of them will definitely join forces to deal with him.

Although Ichiryu and Jiro certainly wouldn't kill him, he couldn't guarantee that he could win against the three of them, so the three tigers headed straight to the Gourmet World.

"You guys wait for me here. I won't be able to take care of you much in the upcoming battle."

After saying that, Xu Yong disappeared from the spot.

"Koyuki, I'm entrusting the human world to you. If any attacks come, Koichi and I will block them. If we accidentally miss some, we'll need your pressure dome, Koyuki."

Master Jiro spoke up, saying that with his and Ichiryu's strength, there would be virtually no attacks that would slip through their fingers, but just in case, they still needed Granny Setsuno as the last line of defense.
