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

After all, Xu Yong had cut off a piece of flesh from its hind leg. If this move came from its neck, Ma Wang knew very well that its life was in danger.

So the result of this battle is out; it was a completely one-sided fight, with Xu Yong overwhelming Ma Wang with absolute strength.

At the same time, the Horse King let out a huge neigh that echoed throughout the entire Eighth Continent.

"The battle for the eight princes is about to begin!"

All creatures on the Eighth Continent heard the Horse King's voice and gleaned the message: due to his defeat, the Horse King could no longer serve as the ruler of the Eighth Continent.

So this position will have to be given up, and once it becomes vacant, other beasts will start fighting for it.

As for Xu Yong, he could actually want to be the Eighth King, but he has no interest in it, so let the other beasts fight for the position.

"You've already lost. Don't get in our way anymore. The air we promised you will still be released. Just wait to give birth to a healthy child!"

After saying that, Xu Yong left and went to where Air was. As for Ma Wang, it knew it couldn't do anything anymore, so it simply lay down on the ground.

Now it's just a matter of waiting. It wants to see if the air Xu Yong mentioned really exists. If it is indeed released, then it means a new Little Horse King will be born, and the position of Horse King will still belong to the Little Horse King.

As for the other creatures of the Eighth Continent, it was simply impossible for them to seize the position of the Eighth King from Little Horse King.

"Looks like things over there are all settled, Mr. Xu Yong!"

After Xu Yong arrived at the area where Air was, everyone saw him. Ma Wang's voice just now proved that Ma Wang had failed.

"Next is to accelerate the ripening of the air. Before that, you will receive the rainbow fish and listen to the sounds of the ingredients."

As Xu Yong took out a large amount of ingredients, he said, "There shouldn't be any problem with ripening them at this stage."

With his abilities, he could accelerate the ripening of even a small amount of new growth.

"And what about this kitchen knife?"

Mirajane pointed to the kitchen knife next to her and asked, "This is the kitchen knife made by the first Melk. When they came over, the first Melk told them where the kitchen knife was."

When Tornado saw the cleaver, she couldn't help but complain. This thing that looked so gorgeous, like a divine artifact, was actually a cleaver. Moreover, she couldn't imagine what kind of person could use a cleaver that was about ten meters long.

“Keep it as a collectible. We don’t need this knife. The original Melk made this knife according to the cooking methods of the Neteros. We’ll follow the ingredients, so we don’t need this knife.”

Xu Yong said that this kitchen knife, like the other Melk kitchen knives he had acquired before, could be kept as a collectible.

As for Ais, she can't use this knife; she has already forged another rapier.

Hearing the sounds of the ingredients and after Xu Yong finished ripening them, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto got to work.

"The compressed air inside is terrifying. If you make a mistake and the air inside explodes, I can't even imagine how powerful it would be."

Looking at the Air in front of them, everyone could sense the terrifying amount of air inside. It could be said that the Air itself was a super weapon. If it were thrown out as a weapon, the moment it exploded would truly be earth-shattering.

Xu Yong kept his eyes on Air, since Air needed to finish cooking just before it crashed.

Therefore, he needs to ensure that Air doesn't land. However, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Shinoto are also extremely fast, and their speed is far beyond what Komatsu can match.

Soon, the two dug a huge pit in the ground. By releasing the air through this pit, it would not explode directly and would not cause any damage. The air would only break through the dark clouds over the Eighth Continent.

"The final step, now!"

The moment Air detached, the two simultaneously struck with their knives, causing countless streams of air to gush out from within Air, which then fell directly to the ground. However, since Air had already been successfully disposed of, there was no need to worry about it rotting.

Countless wisps of air burst forth from the air, sweeping across the entire world.

The clouds above the Eighth Continent were instantly dispersed. At the same time, Horse King, who was still waiting at Horse King Hill, sensed the arrival of fresh air. He immediately stood up and took a deep breath, inhaling a hundred times more air than he usually ingested.

Chapter 145 A Born King, Savoring Air

"The clouds have been dispersed, could it be that the cooking failed? That's impossible, how could the cooking fail if I can hear the ingredients making sounds?"

In the Demon Food Realm, the Tumbler Immortal and others, who had been waiting for news, were initially quite happy. After all, Xu Yong had defeated the Horse King, which meant that capturing Air would be very smooth. However, to their utter surprise, countless bursts of air broke through the clouds of the Eighth Continent.

Based on their understanding of air, they believed that to cook successfully, the air inside the food must not be released; once released, the dish would be considered a failure.

So he didn't understand why Xu Yong and the others still failed. Logically speaking, shouldn't this be a sure thing? After all, Another was successfully cooked.

Another ingredient is second only to GOD in terms of cooking difficulty, yet it failed when cooking air.

"It wasn't a failure; the dish was a success. It must have heard the ingredients' voices and found the most correct cooking method, although we don't know exactly how this cooking method works."

The original Melk spoke.

"Huh? How did you know?"

A group of people looked at the first Melk with some confusion. This guy had been with them the whole time, so how did he know that the Air~ dish was successful?

"I heard a sound, but it wasn't the sound of ingredients; it was the sound of a kitchen knife—the one my daughter made!"

The original Melk said with a smile that as grinders, they could hear sounds just like chefs, except that the sounds were from the cleaver, not from the ingredients.

In the original work, Komatsu's kitchen knife was just like that. As soon as it was taken out, both the second-generation Melk and the first-generation Melk heard the sound of Komatsu's kitchen knife. Therefore, at this time, the first-generation Melk could confirm that Air's cooking was a success.

"I see. As expected of Mr. Melk, the master of grinding in the human world. In that case, let's head to the Hill of Lingering Rain!"

The Tumbler Sage and the others nodded; they didn't believe that a powerful figure like the First Melk would joke with them.

So the group quickly headed to Chiyu Hill, which was where Air was located.

The clouds over the entire Eighth Continent were dispersed, and rainbows rose up across the continent. These rainbows were not ordinary rainbows, but materialized rainbows, capable of supporting living beings walking on them.

Meanwhile, the entire Horse King Hill was extremely quiet. Although the giant horses had returned, they all lowered their heads.

Even though the Horse King has been defeated and is no longer a true member of the Eight Kings, its strength is still terrifying. Moreover, they are all giant horses, so the Horse King is their king, and this remains true even though the Horse King is no longer one of the Eight Kings.

And now, most importantly, a new Horse King is about to be born. Every king of the Eighth Continent is a Horse King, all because of the way Horse Kings give birth. The little Horse King born is destined to become a true Horse King.

It can be said that this was determined from the moment of their birth, so the giant horses are not only bowing to the Horse King, but also bowing to the future Horse King.

At this time, the little horse king has been successfully born. Unlike the previous malnourished little horse king, the malnourished little horse king is no different in size from a normal horse.

After all, there's someone from the Gourmet Club who's courting death by transplanting Stallion's body into himself. While his combat power is indeed impressive, the consequences would be predictable if he dared to set foot on the Eighth Continent.

However, the baby Stallion, born healthy after absorbing enough air, is completely different. The newborn Stallion is already as big as a Ligaluru mammoth, and it was born standing up.

Unlike other creatures that need to learn to stand when they are born, Stallion was born standing, which shows his regal demeanor.

Although the birthing process was actually very smooth and the baby was born so quickly, this was also the time when the horse king was under the greatest burden.

The process of nurturing the calf began beforehand. The horse king needed to keep the calf inside his body and then compress the nutrients from the air, which he inhaled a hundred times the amount he normally ate, into the calf's body.

It's important to know that a single breath from Horse King can sustain him for about a year as long as he doesn't engage in strenuous exercise. In other words, Horse King compressed and injected a century's worth of food directly into Horse King's body in one go.

This process was naturally quite a burden for the Horse King. Logically speaking, a super-powerful creature like the Horse King should have an incredibly strong self-healing ability, and the time from giving birth to the final battle should have been enough for the Horse King to recover.

However, the Horse King was still in a deficit during the final battle, which shows how much the Horse King had sacrificed at that time.

In order to produce a healthy offspring, the horse king was almost completely drained.

Looking at the giant horses around him, the little horse king began to run and stepped directly onto the rainbow bridge. The horse king's response was the way the little horse king announced his birth.

The clear, distinct sound of horses' hooves rang in the ears of all living things on Earth, no matter where they were.

"The sound of horses' hooves is so clear, where is it coming from?"

Tornado looked around but didn't find any horses nearby, but the sound of hooves was very clear.

"This is the Horse King's response. After the little Horse King is born, it will announce its arrival, and this is the way it announces it."

Xu Yong spoke, and as he spoke, a huge figure arrived at Chiyu Hill.

"Is this the Horse King? Why did it come here?"

Upon seeing the Horse King, everyone was taken aback. Xu Yong was unfazed, but the others reacted quite differently, as the Horse King was one of the Eight Kings.

Moreover, the King of Horses was extremely large, standing 22 kilometers tall and over 30 kilometers long, and its enormous size created a tremendous sense of oppression.

Aside from Tornado, everyone else knew about Horse King's stats, but seeing them in person was a completely different experience from just looking at the data. Compared to Horse King, they were smaller than ants.

Tornado was at a loss for words to describe the creature before her. She had seen enormous creatures in her own world, some tens of meters tall, some hundreds of meters tall, and some even thousands of meters tall.

However, the Horse King's size was simply too large, and with that terrifying sense of oppression, Tatsumaki didn't dare to breathe loudly. Fortunately, Fubuki noticed her situation and promptly enveloped Tatsumaki with her own aura.

With her current strength, eliminating the Horse King's oppressive aura is no problem. Moreover, the Horse King has not fully released his oppressive aura at this moment, so what everyone senses is incomplete, making it even easier to resist.

"Hmph!"

The horse king, upon arriving here, let out a neigh, and immediately a message entered everyone's minds.

"Oh, so you came to express your gratitude!"

Everyone understood what the Horse King meant. The Horse King had come specifically to thank them. Previously, the Horse King did not trust Xu Yong and the others, so naturally, a fight ensued, after which it was instantly killed.

Horse King knew perfectly well that this wasn't a transaction at all. After all, Xu Yong had already defeated it, and no creature could stop Xu Yong from becoming the king of the Eighth Continent.

So air naturally belonged to Xu Yong, but the air was released afterward, and the horse king was able to give birth to a healthy offspring, which was very important to the horse king.

Therefore, Ma Wang was very grateful to Xu Yong at this time. Although Xu Yong had removed him from his position, Ma Wang was already planning to retire later, since he had children.

Moreover, this Horse King will be the strongest of all time, because the deliciousness of the air released from it is unparalleled.

With more nutrition, the foundation of Little Horse King will naturally be more solid, and its potential will be higher.

Therefore, once he grows up, the young Stallion will naturally be the strongest among all the Stallions.

As for whether they can grow up smoothly, it's not really a problem. All the past champion horses, as long as they were born healthy, were able to grow up smoothly. They were born kings, and with the protection of the previous champion, it would be strange if they didn't grow up.

Ma Wang naturally needs to thank Xu Yong and the others, but Ma Wang doesn't have anything good to offer right now, so this gratitude can only be temporarily sealed away. When they need something in the future, Xu Yong and the others can come to Old Ma Wang, and Old Ma Wang certainly won't refuse.

Although the Eighth Prince is no longer much in Xu Yong's eyes, it was still a favor from the Eighth Prince, so he accepted it directly.

After seeing that Xu Yong accepted his gratitude, Ma Wang left immediately.

Afterwards, Xu Yong began to divide these airs, giving a portion to the Demon Eater Realm, letting the first generation Melk and the others take a portion back to the human world, and the rest, naturally, belonged to them.

Soon, the people from the Demon Realm also arrived. Since there were no strange rainstorms to stop them along the way, and the previous battle had driven the beasts to the outskirts, they had a smooth journey and quickly arrived at the Hill of Late Rain.

"Mr. Xu Yong!"

Upon arriving here, the people of the Demon Food Realm naturally saw Air, but they didn't stare at it, since it was Xu Yong and the others' spoils of war.

"You've arrived! Perfect timing. Of the two Air packages here, one is for you, and the other will have to be taken back to the human world by the First Generation Melk!"

Xu Yong pointed to the already segmented air and said.

"Really...really can we have it?"

Although they knew that Xu Yong would definitely share some with them, when they actually heard Xu Yong say it, the Tumbler Immortal and the others still felt a little unreal.

This has been their long-held wish in the Demon Food Realm. From their ancestors who were experimented on to the present day, countless generations have passed, but they have never captured Air. Naturally, they are extremely excited at this moment.

"That's right, they're for you."

Xu Yong said with a smile that capturing ingredients like air is not difficult for them, but for the people of the Demon Food World, there is no way to do it.

After all, getting to eat Air is no easy task. First, there's the Horse King. People from the Demon Food World must gain the Horse King's approval to capture Air, since they are under his protection.

Therefore, you need to prepare offerings before you can capture Air. And capturing Air may lead to a confrontation with Blue Netero.

The people of the Demon Eater Realm are not particularly strong, and they were naturally utterly crushed by these blue Netero.

Then there are culinary requirements. Although Air is not considered difficult to cook among the eight ingredients, the problem is that this is in comparison to the other eight ingredients. The cooking difficulty of ingredients like GOD and Another is off the charts.

Therefore, Air's cooking is an extremely difficult task for chefs in the demon food world, and there are also kitchen knives needed for cooking.

Cooking using the Netero clan's methods requires a special cleaver, which is why Ichiryu asked the first Melk to forge this cleaver.

Even the original Melk spent several years crafting such a finished product, so it must have been even more difficult for others.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for the people of the Demon Food Realm to capture Air; they can only rely on the power of others.

This acquisition of a portion of Air has caused immense excitement throughout the entire Demon Food World.

Afterwards, the group simply had a picnic there. Just like in the original story, they didn't want to wait any longer and decided that eating Air right there was the most important thing.

"It's clearly a vegetable, but the feel of cutting it is no different from that of a piece of meat. And its rich presence is so captivating that you can't look away once you see it."

Looking at the Air in front of them, everyone realized that Air's presence was too strong, as if it had forcibly attracted their attention.

This is the complete opposite of techniques like "eliminating life," which aims to erase one's own traces and make people subconsciously ignore oneself. The existence of "air," on the other hand, makes people's attention completely focused on "air" and unwilling to look away.

"No cooking required, just eat it straight away!"

Erina Nakiri offered a reminder: it's not that ingredients like air can't be cooked—cooking is certainly possible—but the problem lies in the lack of seasonings and other side dishes to pair with it.

It's like cooking a normal dish, but the side dishes are rotten and the seasonings are expired and of poor quality. No matter how delicious the main ingredients are, the final taste will be extremely unpalatable, even overshadowing the deliciousness of the main ingredients.

This is the current situation of Air. These eight ingredients are the culmination of the deliciousness emanating from the Earth. Apart from the Earth itself, the most delicious ingredients are these eight.
