[Discovered Collectible Ingredient: Red Nitros]
[Capture Level: 85-315]
[Type: Gourmet Demon Manifestation]
[Description: Nitros come in two types. Blue are high-class nobles, stronger and more intelligent. Red Nitros belong to the slave class, possessing volatile tempers and voracious appetites. However, they are relatively weaker.]
[Description: This is a Red Nitros sleeping within the Gourmet Pyramid. In its millennia of dormancy, its strength has dwindled to less than a tenth of its peak. After several minutes of feeding, its combat power has already recovered to over 200. If it continues to recover, it will reach 315 today.]
Nitros!
Stronger than the one Toriko encountered!
This Nitros was emaciated, with lush fur on its calves and forearms. Its beak-like mouth split open from side to side, filled with fine, sharp teeth!
Its claws bore sharp nails, which were a dull gray, perhaps due to malnutrition.
"Even recovering a little allows it to possess over 200 strength..."
"This level of power is something Kurama and Sentaro cannot resist!"
"Let's test your mettle first!"
"Full Power Spiral Fist Force!"
Zhang Wei disregarded the destruction of the building and unleashed a punch from a distance with all his might, the immeasurable wind pressure striking with even greater force than when he fought the Sphinx!
"So strong!"
Sentaro exclaimed in alarm, "In just one month, Zhang Wei has grown so much again!"
The Nitros crossed its arms in front of its chest!
It remained unmoving under the wind pressure!
From beneath the dust, the Nitros leaped high into the air, striking at Zhang Wei with a claw.
"Spiral Fist Force, close range!"
A trade of blows!
The claw dug into Zhang Wei's chest, splinters of rib bone flying!
The Nitros, however, was sent spiraling upwards by the fist force, rotating rapidly and crashing into the ceiling!
Sentaro struggled to stand and said, "We found it in the next room. It was capturing food... It could devour hundreds of tons of beasts with ease... Its appetite is truly terrifying!"
"When we tried to stop it, we initially had the upper hand..."
Growing stronger with every battle!
This meant the food it consumed was being digested, and its nutrients were rapidly restoring its body!
If Sentaro and the other hadn't interrupted, the consequences would have been unthinkable!
"Drink this!"
Zhang Wei tossed the large white gourd over. Sentaro received it with suspicion, opened the lid, and a rich, sweet aroma wafted out, accompanied by a frothing surge of liquid like an explosion!
"This is..."
"Cola?"
Sentaro cried out in delight. Could it be that the authentic rich cola had finally been obtained?
With a flick of the gourd, the dark cola gushed out like a fountain, the carbonation boiling under the agitation!
Steam billowed!
Opening his mouth wide, the cola fell into his mouth without a single drop remaining!
The black liquid was extremely sweet!
And it contained immense energy. Most importantly, the fatigue from the scorching desert heat was completely swept away!
Refreshing!
The surging steam flowed into his veins, causing Sentaro's muscles to bulge!
Sentaro roared, "Amazing!"
Power surged through his entire body!
The cola seemed to sizzle and crackle as it traveled down his throat and throughout his entire being!
Green sprouts emerged from his severed arm, like a sapling, eventually taking the shape of a hand.
"Seed of Regeneration?"
"It normally lies dormant within the body, waiting to sprout when nourishment is abundant..."
"As expected of a master from the Land of Healing, you truly have some tricks up your sleeve!"
Steam erupted!
Sentaro leveled up!
Sentaro laughed maniacally, "Delicious! So delicious! I'll never forget this taste, it's truly the most delicious thing in the Gourmet Pyramid!"
Zhang Wei remained silent.
What could he say? This was merely alkaline water, and the true, rich cola was still in preparation.
