Oldest brother Ah Zhuo hurriedly chased after him.
Ah Jin flew in front of Xiao Yuan and urgently asked, "What just happened!"
Xiao Yuan was in so much pain that sweat covered his face. Ah Jin looked at the neatly damaged Stone Armor with shock!
Among the five, although Xiao Yuan had the lowest level, he was the most outstanding in terms of defense, recovery, and durability due to his deep research into Guiyuan Arts.
Especially this Stone Armor, even Ah Jin himself would have had a hard time breaking it.
Not only was it incredibly hard, but it also greatly increased Xiao Yuan's physical damage. Furthermore, due to his mastery of Guiyuan Arts, this heavy armor did not impede Xiao Yuan's mobility.
But how could such a powerful Xiao Yuan have sustained such serious damage so quickly?
At this moment, Xiao Yuan cried out, "Boss, I feel like I've permanently lost my wrist!"
"What!"
"I... my cells feel my left hand, it can't regenerate, it's as if it's surrendered in fear!"
"What exactly happened just now!"
Xiao Yuan was stunned, his face showing fear. "Just as I was about to finish him off with a punch, a... a food demon's face suddenly appeared on his! It was only for a moment, and with extreme speed, it bit off my wrist."
"Along with the Stone Armor?"
"Along with the Stone Armor!"
This statement was basically superfluous!
Otherwise, would the Stone Armor have fallen off on its own?
Meanwhile, Ah Zhuo hadn't chased far before he saw Acacia lying on the snow, on his last breath.
His once powerful body had shriveled to nothing, even thinner than when he first entered the great glacier.
"Hmm?"
"He doesn't look like he's faking it."
Ah Zhuo was puzzled. He hadn't even attacked, so how did Acacia end up like this?
Forget it.
He wouldn't dwell on it any longer.
Scorching flames erupted from his palm.
Ah Zhuo said, "This is my signature technique. This fire will penetrate your abdomen and burn from your internal organs, causing you to be consumed by flames after endless agony. This will be your punishment for your foolishness!"
"In your next life, I hope you can see the situation clearly and not die so unjustly."
Saying that, the ball of flame entered Acacia's mouth as if it were air.
Acacia, who had already fainted, immediately showed a pained expression.
And after dealing with Acacia, Ah Jin's plan officially began!
...
On the other side.
Xifeng was in his office, dealing with business documents, when an enforcement officer entered.
"Lord Xifeng, many patrol guards have returned to the warm rooms. Hmph! These security personnel are becoming more and more lazy. They've been running to the warm rooms more often lately; they need to be disciplined."
Xifeng sighed, "It's a turbulent time, and Ah Jin of the Security Department is a very powerful Gourmet Hunter. Let them be for now. This slight negligence... we can discuss it after the boss returns."
The great glacier was extremely cold, and every hour spent outside was bone-chilling. Warm ovens were much more appealing.
Furthermore, with the Ice Hell blocking the way, the Security Department of the great glacier wasn't very valuable.
Another enforcement officer rushed in, panting, "The Gourmet Arena... there's trouble!"
That was where Zhang Wei was preparing his new dishes. After Cangma had passed through, everyone who knew Cangma's whereabouts had been confined there.
By calculation, it had been over a month.
Xifeng said displeasedly, "Send more people, punish the troublemakers severely! If necessary, deploy some from the Security Department!"
"Understood!"
But Xifeng did not know.
Behind this commotion was Ah Jin's manipulation.
And after most of the enforcers had gone to the Gourmet Arena, Ah Jin's team finally began their operation!
First, they targeted Xifeng's confidantes, the enforcement team composed of the former members of the Century Treasure Association!
A silent bleeding...
All construction work was halted, and chefs and laborers were forced to return to their residences.
When Xifeng saw that no enforcement team had entered for a long time, he finally realized something was wrong!
"Where is the problem?"
"Who is it!"
Xifeng shouted, "Prepare to act, immediately head to the Blacklist's subsidiary base!"
Saying that, Xifeng pressed a switch he had prepared earlier.
The automatic broadcasting device.
Its contents would be sent periodically to the loyal allies of the Gourmet Bank.
At this moment!
Ah Jin broke through the main door, his face stern, "Xifeng, you can't go anywhere!"
"Ah Jin? It's you!"
Ah Jin said, "Xifeng, your days of tyranny are over. From today onwards, the Gourmet Bank will be free and democratic!"
"You despicable traitor!"
...
The Gourmet World - Gravity Well
Zhang Wei hid in a hard underground cave, clutching his wound, his face pale.
In the distance, ferocious beasts were searching.
[Discovered Catchable Ingredient: Brown Sugar Gargoyle]
[Capture Level: 135]
[Eating Level: 135]
[Description: A striking demon species composed entirely of brown sugar, possessing an unparalleled sturdy shell and sharp claws that can easily tear apart half a mountain.]
[Description: Inside is dripping red brown sugar, which strongly replenishes vital energy and blood. It is said that just one grain can completely cure menstrual pain, cold uterus, and other female issues, and make women radiant. It is an exquisite ingredient that sells out as soon as it is discovered.]
Rarely, a super-excellent species with equal eating and capture levels.
Although it was level 135, it was merely the beginning in the Gourmet World.
Zhang Wei's greed had gotten the better of him, and his prolonged systematic collection had made him careless. The moment he saw it, he thought about how to defeat it, not realizing that these brown sugar gargoyles were a social species!
Zhang Wei used all his ultimate moves and almost met his end!
"Recently, I've been too careless!"
"Since entering the sixth region, more and more powerful creatures have appeared. I have officially stepped into extremely dangerous territory."
At this moment.
It was difficult for Zhang Wei to escape!
These gargoyles had poor static vision. If Zhang Wei used Lightning Leap to escape, they would pursue him with a speed comparable to Lightning Leap. To save his life, Zhang Wei had maintained a semi-elementalized state for seven minutes!
These wounds were all that remained after the semi-elementalization had reduced the damage.
"The most urgent task is to improve my strength immediately!"
Thinking of the food he had collected in the past few days, Zhang Wei couldn't help but drool. He endured the rumbling of his stomach and slowly burrowed into the soil.
The deeper he burrowed...
His scent was gradually masked by the soil.
Once he was temporarily safe, Zhang Wei immersed his consciousness into the Treasure Hall.
"There are so many choices..."
...
The next day.
In Mo City, three thousand miles away from the Ice Hell.
The Northern Union Government, Supreme Council Hall!
Mo Du was no longer the petty thief she was a year ago. Years of political experience and talent had made her a qualified ruler.
It was said that every move she made exuded an unchallengeable confidence.
Today, Mo Du was dressed in full regalia. Her former illusionary transformation technique could only be used to conceal dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep.
Mo Du said sternly, "Last night, I received very distressing news. While our loyal allies were out exploring, five generals left behind in the Ice Hell rebelled. This is an insult to the entire Northern Region!"
"The Speaker's intention is..."
Mo Du said seriously, "I believe this is a new war, and I am willing to re-establish the Northern Ten Heroes for it!"
The council members were all astonished.
War!
The word was too heavy!
However, the North had just achieved a great victory, and public morale was high!
Mo Du explained, "Ordinary troops are not needed. We are facing powerful Gourmet Hunters above level 85. We only need to assemble a strong top-tier lineup. The remaining remnants are just opportunists!"
Level 85!
This level of power was the peak existence in the Human World.
Among the old Northern Ten Heroes, only the mysterious Qing Shilang possessed strength at this level!
As for those like Hua Lian Hu and Lang Tu, they could currently only reach level 70 at most. This level of disparity would make even a three-on-one battle very difficult.
"The Northern Region's top-tier combat power should not be wasted on such matters."
Mo Du's eyes narrowed. "Are you opposing my proposal?"
"This... I wouldn't dare!"
Mo Du snorted and stood up. "Everyone, don't forget, who was it that allowed you to return from the kidnapping in the Cloud Country!"
...
The same thing happened in the Blacklist and the Cloud Country.
As a defeated nation, the Cloud Country was gradually regaining its freedom under Zhang Wei's latest decree. Several of the original twelve commanders had also regained their freedom.
Mo Du, using the unified alliance, dispatched the commanders of the Cloud Country!
In the new council of the Cloud Country, there was considerable support for Zhang Wei, as the new council was, to some extent, Mo Du's pawns.
It was merely to notify the Cloud Country on her behalf.
Many liberal individuals in the Cloud Country also proposed, "According to reliable rumors, Zhang Wei is likely missing. This is the perfect time to break free from the Northern Region and reassert our independence!"
However, some worried, "If the Cloud Country re-declares independence, trade routes will be cut off, and we will return to our previous state of resource scarcity. The people of the Cloud Country today... may not agree!"
The benefits of commodity exchange.
It was that the Cloud Country, which had no other resources besides vegetables, could now live a prosperous life by trading vegetables.
For the common people, the period of defeat was even better than before.
Even corvée labor had been abolished due to the disbandment of the army and government. If they were to re-declare independence and conscript new soldiers, the common people would likely be the first to object.
"It's difficult!"
...
The most satisfying situation was for the Blacklist!
Perhaps people of the underworld placed more importance on loyalty. The current leader of the Blacklist, Terror Clown, upon hearing the news, announced that he would personally investigate.
And he brought along the top ten members of the newly organized Blacklist!
Currently, there were many collaborations between the Gourmet Bank and the Blacklist. Among them, the training of new assassins had brought a large influx of new blood to the Blacklist, enriching this old and scarred organization considerably!
The first and second batches of new recruits had already joined, not only tripling their numbers but also significantly improving their overall quality due to training from scratch.
Even from a profit perspective, Terror Clown had no reason to refuse!
...
Rivendell Forest.
Granny Qian was boiling soup, while the Heavenly Sin group was nearby, showing off the latest high-grade ingredients they had harvested!
Granny Qian smiled, "You've all improved so much during this time!"
Mr. Luo, while helping, chuckled, "It's all thanks to your teachings, Granny. Otherwise, the Path of Hunger wouldn't be so easy to explore."
Tian Sin swung his fist, "I am the man who will smash Zeus's face! I have to train my strength well!"
Tian Sin.
A product of Zeus's romantic dalliances in the Human World.
He possessed talent and abilities that ordinary people could not reach. Even the food demon parasitic on him was incredibly advanced.
Granny Qian said, "You have a long way to go. Forget about Zeus; even a minor Bronze Saint under him could easily tear down the entire Rivendell Forest. If you don't fully explore the Path of Hunger, it won't be smooth sailing even when you enter the Gourmet World."
When the team's average strength reaches 200+, they can officially leave the Path of Hunger.
"Don't worry, Granny, we will work hard!"
Granny Qian continued, "Actually, improving your strength doesn't need to be so rushed. You should take breaks occasionally."
Everyone was surprised.
They all remembered the good times during their last vacation in the city.
Pink Night Bar...
Red Romance...
Heaven and Earth...
Haitian Sheng Yan...
Tsk tsk.
Recalling the brutal adventures of life and death over the past four months, they felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue.
It was even more tiring than the previous three years combined!
Tian Sin, in particular, had been on the verge of death almost every day to rapidly increase his strength. Mr. Luo had almost become a cooking machine, having to find ways to treat Tian Sin's injuries every day.
As for Atlas, he was a loyal battlefield cleaner; wherever he went, nothing of value was left behind.
"Does Granny mean she wants us to take a vacation and have some fun?"
Granny Tang nodded, "Yes, your old friend Zhang Wei has gotten into some trouble recently. After he went out, his home was burgled. This old woman just received the news."
"Burgled!"
Tian Sin nodded.
Catching a thief seemed like fun.
"I heard it's a rather formidable thief, but it should be easy for you, right? Just consider it a trip to relax."
...
Four Great Salt Merchants, Northern Continent Branch General Store!
Yan Yan looked at the letter and said, "The Great Glacier has changed hands... Heh heh, how wonderful!"
Yan Yan was the one who supported the previous sweeping operation behind the scenes.
There was a classic business strategy, an excellent example of capital operation.
First, use substantial funds to purchase similar products on the market in large quantities. The choice of products also matters; they must be semi-necessities with cyclical production periods and huge consumption.
In a normal market, purchase seventy percent of the goods at fair prices and the remaining at higher prices.
When the market is out of stock, the prices will climb to extremely high levels, and then they will be sold for profit. Grain merchants often use this tactic, which can cause widespread famine in severe cases.
There were even more sinister methods for situations with greater market fluctuations and larger inventories.
When market prices are at their peak, they provide large quantities of goods at prices slightly below market value, and then sell them off wildly. This causes competitors' goods to become worthless the moment they arrive.
After such turmoil, small-volume competitors would mostly go bankrupt, and then an acquisition plan could be organized.
Once most small-volume competitors are under their control, market prices can be rewritten at will!
However, Yan Yan did not expect that an emerging organization like the Gourmet Bank would be so resilient, with an unbelievable reserve of ingredients!
Fortunately, the ingredients of the Gourmet Bank were excellent. Although the sweeping operation failed this time, they not only didn't lose money but even made a small profit.
But...
The dealers who participated together made a fortune, and they were beginning to become disobedient.
"If this continues, it will severely shake the ruling position of the Four Great Salt Merchants."
"If the Gourmet Bank falls apart, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Four Great Salt Merchants!"
Salt Essence.
Capture Level 28.
Eating Level 40.
At the normal selling price, selling one kilogram for twenty-five thousand Berries would already be sky-high.
However, through the Four Great Salt Merchants' methods of suppression and starvation marketing, these seasonings were raised to unimaginable levels.
One gram of Salt Essence was sold for 4,500 Berries, with the black market price approaching six thousand!
But with the emergence of the Gourmet Bank, this starvation curse was broken. With sales of hundreds of kilograms daily, what starvation was there to speak of!
The black market ceased to exist, and the price of 4,500 Berries was also about to become unsustainable.
"The Gourmet Bank has too much product!"
Yan Yan said, "Although our trade association has many flagship products, for so long, we have only snatched others' livelihoods; no one has been able to snatch ours!"
The Four Great Salt Merchants was just a collective name.
It was originally composed of the four largest salt trading businesses.
They were the Sea Salt Merchant Association, the Mineral Salt Merchant Association, the Salt Lake Merchant Association, and the Salt Bar Merchant Association.
Currently, the business of the Four Great Salt Merchants has spread to various seasonings, including cured meats, vinegar, MSG, chicken essence, sugar, base ingredients, soup bases, spices, chili peppers...
Their current achievements were due to continuous alliances and capital crushing!
Sweeping all competitors into the trash heap!
And the goal of the Four Great Salt Merchants was not limited to this!
...
Another week passed.
Xifeng's life had been quite difficult. For a week, besides severe interrogation, he hadn't eaten a drop of water, and his Gourmet Cells had begun to degenerate.
Every day, more people were added to the prison. Ah Jin was carrying out a great purge.
All those who did not obey him would eventually end up here, and today's guest was...
Shao An?
Xifeng exclaimed, "How did you get locked up too? Could that guy dare to punish chefs?"
Shao An nodded indifferently, "I refused his cooking request and told others to refuse to cook for him, so I was locked up."
"You... you don't seem like a stubborn person."
"Heh heh, are you saying my demeanor is more like a double-crossing villain?"
Xifeng remained silent, obviously agreeing.
When it came to judging people, Xifeng was quite accurate. Although Shao An hadn't done anything, he always exuded a villainous aura.
Shao An mocked himself, "Of course, I am a villain. I've betrayed my sect twice. If I join Ah Jin, it will be the third time."
"Betrayed the sect!"
In this traditional world, it was undoubtedly a grave offense!
Shao An said blankly, "I'm tired..."
"The first betrayal was because I felt Master Abe treated me unfairly, and my greed for the Chrysanthemum Restaurant led me to become enemies with Master Abe's son, Liu Angxing."
"The second time wasn't exactly a betrayal; I just left Master Abe, who accepted me again, and became a member of the Gourmet Bank, and took Mr. Zhang Wei as my new master."
"This time... I really don't want to bother anymore. Other than my culinary skills and cooking, there's nothing else I particularly desire... Let it be this way~ After all, I'm no longer a young man."
Perhaps.
...
Blizzard and icy wind!
Familiar faces appeared on the plains of the Ice Hell.
The Northern Ten Heroes: Magician, Woodcutter, Blacksmith, Missionary, Tailor, as well as Qing Shilang and his disciples.
In the last great battle of the Cloud Country, the attrition rate of the Northern Ten Heroes was very low.
Wolf Valley was in the beast-hunting season, with rampant beast tides, so Lang Tu and the Singer were unable to attend.
The Blacksmith took a swig of old wine and casually tossed the flask to the Woodcutter, saying, "In this cold weather, a drink is truly refreshing!"
The Woodcutter sniffed and said, "Youyou Forget-Me-Not Water!"
"Hahaha, you know this too? It seems you've drunk quite a bit."
For rough men like the Woodcutter and the Blacksmith who wrestled with iron every day, strong liquor was a rare delicacy.
Especially Youyou Forget-Me-Not Water; after one sip, the fatigue of the entire day would vanish.
The Woodcutter said, "Zhang Wei is a good brother. He didn't forget about us when he got this good stuff."
"Of course. If nothing else, this wine... suits my taste perfectly."
"By the way, are those Blacklist guys coming or not? Are they chickening out?"
A faintly strange, hollow voice echoed.
"Who said that... Hehehehe~~"
After a standard villain's laugh, the Blacklist members made their grand entrance!
A giant inflatable clown snowman with sharp teeth burrowed its way forward, carrying familiar faces on its back.
Blacklist Leader, Terror Clown.
The Magician narrowed his eyes and said, "Blacklist Leader, Terror Clown!"
"What a perfect puppet creation. Compared to the time in the Cloud Country, its skill has improved considerably."
The Magician had witnessed Terror Clown's methods in the Cloud Country.
It had single-handedly held back a hundred commanders of the Cloud Country, trapping them in a terrifying amusement park, killing and injuring many. If not for the Cloud Country's Commander - Terror Envoy, not a single one of those hundred commanders would have survived.
Others might be confused, but the Magician, who was also skilled in such deceptive tricks, recognized it as a puppet creation at a glance.
The giant inflatable burrowing snowman stopped, and familiar figures emerged from its belly!
Blacklist Leader: Terror Clown
Second Place: Scorpion.
Third Place: Vampire.
Fourth Place: Human Skin Doll.
Fifth Place: Qingcheng.
Seventh Place: Haru (City of Progress).
The sixth-ranked Knight King had to remain within the Blacklist and was absent.
Among these individuals, Vampire, Woodcutter, Missionary, and Blacksmith, along with Tian Sin and Zhang Wei, had explored the Path of Hunger together. Their strength had increased significantly compared to before.
Furthermore, Haru had also progressed remarkably.
In just half a year, he had risen from thirteenth place to seventh.
However, even with such a lineup, they might not have a sure win against Ah Jin and his four companions!
The strength in the 85-95 range was terrifyingly high; that was a level that could enter the extreme edge of the Human World.
In addition, there were two special invited guests, the Commander of the Cloud Country: Blod Handel.
And the Demon - Bo Gang!
"Yo ho, all old acquaintances!"
The strength of the Bloodhound and Bo Gang was well-known. This time, their chances of winning had increased.
Bo Gang grinned sinisterly, "Didn't you guys hear? Zhang Wei probably died in the Gourmet World. Is it worth you all fighting so hard?"
The Woodcutter took a sip of the Youyou Forget-Me-Not Water in his cup and said, "I won't forget the favor of this wine. Zhang Wei is my friend, and his business is my business!"
The Blacksmith tapped his armor in full agreement with the Woodcutter's words.
The others, needless to say, were too lazy to explain to Bo Gang.
Only Scorpion stood up and walked in front of Bo Gang, saying, "Back in the Cloud Country... the battle between you and me was very satisfying!"
Bo Gang's ugly face contorted into a smile, "After today, I'll be ready anytime, giving you a chance to get your revenge."
Alright!
The idle chat was over!
The group, in order to achieve the element of surprise, began to trek through the frigid Northern Continent on foot!
...
In a small tavern in the Northern Continent, the disheveled Elder Mo was stealing food in a kitchen.
He inadvertently overheard news about the Gourmet Bank.
It was roughly that the dealers' supplies were experiencing fluctuations, the emerging Gourmet Bank was unreliable, and Zhang Wei was missing after gallivanting around.
For the past half month, Ah Jin had been spreading the news of Zhang Wei's disappearance, deliberately concealing his illegitimate seizure of power in the Great Glacier and the imprisonment of Xifeng.
If Ah Jin lacked the ability and experience to manage businesses, Xifeng would have likely lost his life long ago.
Elder Mo frowned, "Are these exceptionally talented individuals so disobedient? They could have safely entered the Gourmet World through me..."
"Zhang Wei is like this, Tian Sin has also gone missing recently, and then there are those people..."
Saying that, Elder Mo took out a large bundle of scrolls.
These were all the geniuses Elder Mo had taken a liking to, including chefs, Gourmet Hunters, and some peculiar professions.
"Although it's a bit late, Zhang Wei is likely not dead yet... I'll try to see if I can save him."
He took out a bottle of ink from his embrace and splashed it into the air, making it dance.
It formed one after another, somewhat discernible, wild cursive characters.
This was Elder Mo's unique special technique, an innate power bestowed by a food demon!
"Ink Mark... Ten Thousand Mile Communication!"
...
Ten thousand miles away... the Healing Country!
The so-called Healing Country was a paradise-like place. Although it was called a country, it only had one city deep within the forest.
The outermost layer was vast hilly terrain with rugged mountain paths. Further inside were millions of hectares of artificial oak forests, where a large number of creatures cultivated by the Healing Country resided.
The streams were all artificially dug, with crystal-clear water, where many exclusive healing fish lived.
After crossing three moats, one could reach Life, the only city in the Healing Country!
The City of Life!
At the very center of the City of Life was the symbol of the Healing Country, the Mother Tree, guarded by the Gourmet Regenerator Association!
The Mother Tree was so large that it was said to be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people living inside. Moreover, the Mother Tree was a purely Human World species and the largest naturally growing tree in the entire Human World!
At this moment, Sheng Taro was assisting in the delivery of a lamb...
More than two months had passed since the Northern Region trip. The ingredients brought back had greatly improved the living standards of the residents of the Healing Country.
Sheng Taro wiped sweat and smiled, "This cloned lamb is perfect. Another ancient species has been revived."
Surrogacy!
Using the DNA left by ancient creatures for cloning, and then using closely related species for surrogacy, thereby reviving ancient ingredients.
Using this method, there were a large number of extinct creatures living in the oak forest.
Mitochondrial Telomere Amplification Potion!
The wisdom left by ancient regenerators.
Cell division in organisms has a limit, and the number of divisions is determined by the blank pages at the end of the telomeres.
In fact, many of the DNA used for surrogacy were from adult organisms, whose telomeres were already severely worn. Only by using this potion to allow them to survive until sexual maturity, leave behind seeds, could this species be completely revived.
"Sigh... too troublesome."
Just as he was about to wash his hands, a large amount of ink formed text on the water surface.
Sheng Taro was stunned, "Elder Mo..."
"Zhang Wei... Gourmet World... Elder Mo has a heart for nurturing talent."
Sheng Taro immediately accessed intelligence and learned of Zhang Wei and Cangma's movements. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Fine, consider it repaying Elder Mo's favor."
"Cascade Falls..."
"I hope Zhang Wei is still alive."
Saying that, he waved his hand.
A large-nosed flying squirrel flew into his hand.
Treasure-Seeking Flying Squirrel!
An ancient species, a favored species with great luck from birth, revived by Sheng Taro himself.
It could not only distinguish scents but even sense electromagnetic waves left by living beings. When both methods failed, it had terrifying intuition and a sixth sense!
It even had considerable luck.
Normally, Sheng Taro used it to search for ancient biological ruins.
The Treasure-Seeking Mole had made great contributions to the capture of many species!
"Little guy, help me find this person!"
The Treasure-Seeking Flying Squirrel nodded, its dark little eyes revealing human-like confidence!
...
Three more days passed.
Sheng Taro finally arrived at Cascade Falls.
He said with a hint of emotion, "It's been a while. This place is still as picturesque as ever."
Saying that, he leaped forward and descended continuously amidst the gasps of the onlookers...
Air Cannon!
A super long-range attack from a level 220 beast, the Breath Dragon!
Gracefully twisting his body, he easily dodged the Breath Dragon's attack!
Buzz buzz~
Sheng Taro frowned, "Met a Demon Great Mosquito as soon as I landed? What tenacious and annoying creatures!"
With a hand chop, he cut the attacking Demon Great Mosquito in half.
He took out a bottle of floral water from his embrace and sprayed it on his body.
The Demon Great Mosquitoes that followed only smelled an extremely repulsive scent emanating from Sheng Taro and scattered in all directions!
"The number of Demon Great Mosquitoes has increased. The rainfall today is quite good."
Zhang Wei did not know.
The water he sprinkled in the Wolf Tooth Well did not flow entirely into the deep part of the Gravity Well. Due to the extremely complex geological structure, some of it would gather in the spawning grounds of the Demon Great Mosquitoes, causing their population to increase slightly.
Sheng Taro was clearly more familiar with the area, constantly navigating through the forest with the help of the Treasure-Seeking Flying Squirrel...
"Oxygen content suddenly increased."
"The cultivated Air Tree has grown!"
In the original work, it was a strange tree that made Toriko's head spin and his eyes bloodshot.
Its fruit generated a large amount of air, making the surrounding air density extremely high, equivalent to a continuous Gale Force: Oppress!
The rich oxygen would damage the internal tissues of the human body, resulting in oxygen poisoning.
In addition, there were Gravity Planets, Falling Trees, and so on.
Gravity Planets were a type of cocklebur creature covered in thorns. Because they could balance gravity, a large number of creatures lived around them.
However, Gravity Planets were also quite dangerous. In addition to continuous hot air currents, they would also shoot out large amounts of thorns when encountering danger.
Falling Trees were quite large, and their leaves were very dense.
Their leaves contained a large amount of water. When an animal approached, raindrops would hit down like missiles, killing the prey and absorbing their nutrients.
"Indeed, the plants in the Gourmet World are more fascinating."
"Little guy, do you smell that person?"
The Treasure-Seeking Flying Squirrel twitched its nose and pointed into the distance.
And in that direction was the Gravity Well where Zhang Wei was located.
Sheng Taro exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually there!"
The Gourmet World was full of dangers, and there were few absolutely safe places.
But the Gravity Well was different. Its environment was harsh, and there wasn't much nutritious food, so very few powerful beasts lived there.
In levels 1-5, it was quite safe, and the rewards were still acceptable compared to the Human World.
But once one reached the sixth level...
It would be beyond the resistance of people from the Human World.
"What good luck to find such a place on my first exploration of the Gourmet World."
Sheng Taro was also a regenerator. In the Healing Country, regenerators and doctors were a profession for everyone.
They upheld the philosophy of harmonious coexistence and interdependence between humans and nature, contributing to environmental protection.
In the original work, there was only one faction of regenerators, with Tie Ping and Yuu being outstanding representatives.
However, in this timeline, it was still an era of contention among many schools, with numerous factions of regenerators and vastly different philosophies.
And Sheng Taro's faction of regenerators was relatively radical, adhering to the philosophy that humans must follow natural laws, restrain their desires, and rationally utilize natural resources.
This way, both nature and humans could survive for a long time.
When Sheng Taro arrived at the Wolf Tooth Well, his eyes shot out stars and his intracranial pressure soared!
"Where... where are the Wolf Tooth Grass here!"
