The most important thing was that the delicious ingredients of the Food Pyramid were already considered by Zhang Wei to be within his grasp. He himself was reluctant to pick even one or two, so how could he let Nitero have any part of it?
"Should we split up to search?"
"Absolutely not!"
Zhang Wei said in a deep voice, "Nitero's combat power is formidable, and the three of us are not pure warriors. If we are defeated one by one, it will be troublesome!"
We must not underestimate Nitero's intelligence!
Search!
Zhang Wei closed his eyes, and the current beneath his feet spread out into the distance!
In the black world, specks of starlight appeared!
Cang Ma, unwilling to be outdone, took out two bags of spices and sniffed them deeply.
"Taste enhancement, police dog mode!"
Cang Ma's nasal cavity cells were temporarily developed, and the range of smells he could discern increased from five thousand to one hundred thousand, far clearer than that of a real canine.
Sheng Taro, on the other hand, dripped eye drops into his eyes: "Dust manifestation, footprint tracking!"
"Over there!"
The three of them spoke in unison, then looked at each other and immediately gave chase!
6000 meters!
6000 meters!
Still six thousand meters!
Nitero was rapidly escaping, and it seemed to sense the pursuit of Zhang Wei and the other two!
At this moment, the carcasses of ferocious beasts began to appear by the roadside, like shriveled skins sucked dry by spiders, their deaths gruesome and tragic!
"This guy wants to use the familiar terrain to stall us. We have to hurry!"
Wind Riding Technique!
The speed of the three of them instantly increased by a large margin!
And as they rounded a corner, three powerful gusts of energy swept towards them, emitting a deafening roar!
"What is that!"
"Such strong attacks, be careful!"
Blocking their path was a colossal lion-like creature!
It had wings on its back, a ferocious demonic face, and scales as fine as silk, with a mane like a stone sculpture.
"Salamander Sphinx!"
"The ultimate delicacy of the Food Pyramid, and the apex of the food chain!"
[Discovered collectible ingredient: Salamander Sphinx]
[Capture Level: 175]
[Edible Level: 21]
[Description: An ancient creature that should have been extinct, possessing considerable combat ability, it is a symbol of pharaonic rule and was once worshipped as a deity by primitive humans!]
[Description: Its blood is dry and foul-smelling. Although it is extremely nutritious, consuming it will cause internal heat to surge, leading to severe anxiety and angina.]
[Description: Its flesh is dry and lacks elasticity, does not absorb salt, and its extremely low fat content results in a less than ideal aroma.]
[Description: Through special methods, a perfect cola can be cultivated within it – a mellow cola, possessing a flavor unmatched in the Human World! The supreme choice!]
The prototype of the Salamander Sphinx was likely the Sphinx from Egyptian mythology, possessing characteristics of human, bull, lion, and eagle.
In the Greek mythological version, the Sphinx loved riddles, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom, and was often used to guard priceless treasures within secret caves.
In Egyptian mythology, however, it was a symbol of nobility and benevolence, wielding a different kind of authority.
Sharp gusts of energy narrowly missed them, Zhang Wei's sleeve being directly destroyed by the residual force, a testament to its power!
"The little cat is quite wary of strangers..."
"But I don't have time to play with you, move aside quickly!"
Sheng Taro let out a voice of dismissal. This voice contained all of Sheng Taro's strength and deterrence, exuding an imposing aura!
However, the Salamander Sphinx paid no heed, even displaying a somewhat disdainful expression. Clearly, for a level 175 Salamander Sphinx, Sheng Taro's strength was not enough to be taken seriously.
"Damn it!"
"Time is pressing, and we've run into it!"
"For now, only Zhang Wei can completely stall the Salamander Sphinx. Kouma and I will continue the pursuit!"
There was no other way at this point!
"Wait a moment!"
Zhang Wei took out four pieces of Bronze Apple flesh and two pieces of Silver Apple flesh from his Treasury.
"These apples can greatly boost your internal energy, increasing your sustained combat ability and recovery. Don't be stingy at a time like this!"
"Alright!"
The two of them, without any pretense, took the apples and swallowed them directly.
The mild taste of the apples exploded on their taste buds, and a surging energy rose up. The two of them immediately straightened their backs!
"Awesome!"
