Tangjia.
Although Zhang Wei could break through with his level advantage, this hardness was considered unsolvable among peers!
"Slurp~~~"
Zhang Wei stuck out his tongue and licked it fiercely.
"Huh? No taste?"
"Let me try again..."
"Slurp~"
"Slurp~ A little sweet..."
"Slurp... Hmm, it's getting sweeter and sweeter."
"Awesome, awesome!"
Zhang Wei squatted on the ground and thought carefully.
What exactly was the problem...
And the recent diet.
Due to the loss of taste, Zhang Wei's appetite had been very low, and even his body had weakened a lot...
He could only eat perfect replicas from the Treasure Hall.
The last thing he ate was...
Phoenix Koi!
"Could it be! Besides healing brain damage, the Phoenix Koi can also heal the nose and tongue?"
"No... The true efficacy of the Phoenix Koi is to repair gene fissures!"
"Could it be that Shaka's move is causing damage at the genetic level?"
In the original work, everyone was a creature that could regenerate health.
No matter how severe the injury, eating a delicious meal could restore more than half of it... only limb regeneration was a bit troublesome.
But there was one type of damage that could not be healed, and that was the attack of Gourmet Demons.
Gourmet Demons would cause damage at the genetic level, making cells believe that you were originally like this.
For example, Zebra's left cheek in the original work...
The scars of some established characters...
"My sense of smell and taste should have recovered a tiny bit, only extremely strong odors can stimulate it a little."
"If I can find more ingredients that repair genes, I should be able to reconstruct the taste and smell system step by step."
However, such ingredients were too precious, and Zhang Wei had collected them for so long and only encountered one.
Crack~
At this moment, the Tangjia, which had been moistened by saliva, cracked inch by inch, turning into something similar to brittle candy, and the sweet smell floated out again!
"Even my dull senses can smell it, this is definitely a rare delicacy!"
"If some swallow's saliva were used as an ingredient... it would be a masterpiece!"
The blade light flashed.
The most difficult parts to collect were the bird's eggs and the air sacs in the abdomen.
Both could explode if not careful.
But the sugar powder within was the most essence, overwhelmingly sweet but not greasy, and could even be perceived by smell!
However, for Zhang Wei, these were all trivial.
[Collection Complete: Candy Bomber]
[Replication Time: 55 days]
"Hmm?"
"The replication time for level 22 is so short, is it because my strength has increased, or..."
"After all, I participated in the capture this time, and my understanding of the ingredients has reached a higher level, so I will get more information."
...
After dealing with the Candy Bomber, Zhang Wei ascended into the sky, planning to continue on his way.
"Wolf Valley covers an area of 80,000 square kilometers, which is half the size of Guangdong Province. It's really not easy to find the destination..."
"Speaking of which, this map is also a bit blurry."
Not long after Zhang Wei left, a group of people appeared where Zhang Wei had cut and processed.
Large crossbows, waist knives, ropes, silk threads, steel needles, sun hats, riding pants, boots...
Although their attire was not uniform, it was clear that these people were all very elite Gourmet Hunters.
A short man walked at the forefront of the team, his nose constantly twitching, catching the scent in the air.
"Boss, it's around here!"
The short man's face was solemn, and he looked around vigilantly.
In the dangerous wilderness, caution was the greatest weapon of a Gourmet Hunter. No matter how close the treasure was, one had to remain calm and composed, not letting greed blind oneself and lose one's life.
The short man showed a look of intoxication: "That's right, this is definitely the taste of Happy Candy... The Candy Bomber is the main ingredient of Happy Candy!"
The crowd showed excited expressions.
Happy Candy was very famous in Wolf Valley, and countless people were captivated by it.
A small piece of candy could sell for a high price of hundreds of Beryls, making it a money-making machine. It was said that eating Happy Candy could immerse one in happiness for several hours, making the whole person cheerful and optimistic, and eliminating all worries.
"We've been looking for the Candy Bomber for months, this time we can make a big profit!"
"There are traces of the Candy Bomber fighting here. Its esophagus is short, its mouth is stiff, and its eating speed is very slow. If we take advantage of its hunting and eating to ambush it, our chances of winning will greatly increase."
When the group followed the short man to the battlefield,
their faces changed in unison.
The place was a mess. Apart from the shattered candy armor fragments, there were also a large amount of bloodstains, bone residue...
Clearly, the Candy Bomber had lost!
"This... we are still one step too late!"
"These traces were not caused by beasts fighting, but rather like some wild survival expert camping here and dismembering ingredients..."
"Someone got there first!"
"Damn it, don't they know that the Candy Bomber's mission was a prey for our raw meat team?"
"Let's go back to the Roast Meat Castle!"
...
Wolf Valley was full of dangers, and human settlements were built in the form of castles.
The most dangerous among them was the Roast Meat Castle!
This was also the largest city in Wolf Valley. Although its population was only over a hundred thousand, every household was an excellent hunter.
At the same time, this was also the base camp of the strongest armed force in Wolf Valley – the Wolf Valley Militia!
At this moment, Roast Meat Castle was brightly decorated, with broken swords and armor hanging on the city walls, and fireworks arrows with gunpowder were fired in volleys...
This was a celebration of the victorious warriors' review.
Eight hundred set out, forty returned...
There was pain, but more importantly, respect for the warriors.
"May the heroic spirits proceed to the Butcher's Kingdom..."
"May the heroic spirits wield their swords and wear their armor, cutting flesh and blood..."
"The courage of the heroic spirits, to be suppressed by bones..."
Such a celebration would last for seven days.
The soldiers' remains would be buried in the Butcher's Forest, where large quantities of beast teeth, knives, and other items would be offered as sacrifices.
Zhang Wei soared in the sky, following the map, and finally saw the gray city on the horizon.
The entire city walls were stained with smoke and fire, and the smell of smoke and roasted meat drifted for more than ten miles.
Zhang Wei looked at the illustrated guide: "Roast Meat Castle has stood for seventy years, the hearth fires in the city have never been extinguished, every family roasts meat, and every night is a song and dance... so even the city wall bricks are blackened."
"The entire city is round outside and square inside, with high city walls..."
"It looks like this is the place."
As soon as Zhang Wei approached, the troops on the city walls reacted immediately.
The heavy crossbows and archers on the city walls pointed at Zhang Wei from a distance.
A general shouted, "The defensive range of Roast Meat Castle is a no-fly zone! Descend immediately, or lethal force will be applied!"
"Everyone listen to my orders!"
"Three..."
"Two..."
"I am Zhang Wei."
Everyone was startled!
The general couldn't believe it: "You... you said who you are?"
Zhang Wei shouted loudly, "I am Zhang Wei, the King of Northern Chefs, here to pay my respects to old Mr. Wolf Butcher!"
