Eat Little Almonds

Chapter 441 The True Purpose of Netherworld Fire!

The color on Qiao Yu’s face became a little strange.

He tried to put himself in the other person’s shoes to guess where they were hiding, but he found that he couldn’t empathize at all.

There was no way, what was there to hide for a necromancer with ten thousand health and a thousand defense? He could just summon the undead right in front of them.

Since he couldn’t empathize, he’d have to try a different approach!

Qiao Yu suddenly opened his ghost eyes. The dark night had no effect on Qiao Yu at all, and he could see everything in the darkness clearly.

The necromancer definitely couldn’t be hiding too far away, or he wouldn’t be able to control the battle.

Undead creatures lacked self-awareness, so without the control of the necromancer, they would become slow and sluggish, or even stay in place.

“Found you!”

Qiao Yu’s ghost eyes locked onto the attic of a small house, which had a round window.

Inside the window, a gaunt man in a black robe was gesturing with a staff.

The small house was in bright moonlight, so the man hiding in the attic was extremely well-concealed.

If Qiao Yu didn’t have ghost eyes, he wouldn’t have been able to find this man.

The moment Qiao Yu targeted him, the man shivered, as if a prehistoric beast was opening its mouth to attack him.

That intense sense of danger made the man act immediately!

“Undead Bomb!”

*Rumble!*

He detonated his entire undead army without hesitation. The terrifying explosions and roars were deafening, and a small mushroom cloud rose over Sunset Town.

To survive in this world, you need strength and connections. Aomo had neither, so the only reason he’d survived for so long was because of five things: cowardice and caution, disloyalty, selling out his subordinates, running away at the first sign of trouble, and seducing his boss’s wife.

After detonating the undead army, Aomo’s strength was greatly reduced, and he turned around and fled without hesitation.

Qiao Yu was also blasted dozens of meters away by the sudden, violent explosion. By the time he got up and rushed back, Aomo was long gone from the attic.

“So cautious, this guy is a seasoned schemer!”

Qiao Yu frowned. The thing he hated most in the world was schemers.

This many undead troops must have taken a lot of time and effort to collect. To detonate them without a second thought was indeed decisive!

When the smoke cleared, Qiao Yu discovered that Diwen and Kedi Jie, along with the other two, had long since been blasted away to who knows where. Only An Liya was lying on the ground with her eyes closed.

Kedi Jie and the others had obviously protected An Liya very well. Qiao Yu went over to check and found that An Liya had only been knocked unconscious by the shockwave from the explosion and wasn’t injured.

It didn’t seem right to leave An Liya lying there, so Qiao Yu put her over his shoulder, planning to find a house to rest for the night. After all, he didn’t know when An Liya would wake up, and he didn’t want to spend the night on the street.

When Qiao Yu grasped the Wrath of the Gods, the entire longbow lit up and hummed, and Qiao Yu could clearly feel the joy of the weapon spirit within the Wrath of the Gods.

“Don’t light up!”

Qiao Yu reached out and patted the bow, and the Wrath of the Gods instantly quieted down.

Then, carrying An Liya, he started walking deeper into Sunset Town. The place he’d just been was ravaged by the undead bomb, and it was full of ruins and rotting flesh, obviously not suitable for resting.

As Qiao Yu walked further in, gusts of cold wind blew through the streets, and a gloomy aura swept over him.

However, Qiao Yu wasn’t surprised. So many people had died, it would be strange if it wasn’t gloomy.

Qiao Yu randomly found a house that looked relatively intact, then pushed the door open and walked in.

“I’m going to fight you monsters!”

As soon as the door opened, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old stabbed at Qiao Yu with a fruit knife.

*Crack!*

With a crisp sound, the fruit knife that stabbed Qiao Yu shattered.

The boy was stunned, and Qiao Yu was also stunned.

He really hadn’t expected that there would still be living people in Sunset Town. He had thought that everyone had been slaughtered by that necromancer.

The boy was so frightened that he retreated, holding the remaining handle of the knife with a face full of fear, but he still mustered the courage to face Qiao Yu.

“I’m warning you! You’re not allowed to come into my house, get out now!”

Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. He could tell at a glance that the boy in front of him was just an ordinary person, and it was indeed quite rare for an ordinary person to have such courage.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad guy, I’ll just rest for one night and leave.”

“I won’t believe your lies, get out of my house!” The boy still stood firmly in front of Qiao Yu.

Through his ghost eyes, Qiao Yu found that there was also a little girl hiding in the corner behind the boy. Seeing this, Qiao Yu suddenly had the thought of teasing the boy. He curled his lips and gave a standard villainous smile.

“Heh heh heh!”

“I’m warning you! Immediately prepare a room for me, and get me some food, or I’ll kill the little girl behind you!”

Coupled with his gloomy face, the boy was indeed frightened, and his face turned pale. He bit his lip and reluctantly stepped aside, but he still held the knife handle tightly in his hand.

Qiao Yu carried An Liya straight in. The little girl inside the house was about six or seven years old, and the clothes she was wearing were old, but they were washed very clean.

There was no decent furniture in the house, but it was as clean as the little girl’s clothes.

Qiao Yu found a bedroom, tore off a quilt, spread it on the ground, and threw An Liya on his shoulder onto it. He himself lay down on the bed with peace of mind.

Men and women should keep their distance, and he believed that An Liya would definitely be very touched when she woke up, Qiao Yu thought.

Not long after, the door was knocked, and the boy brought Qiao Yu a plate of bread and a large bowl of stew. Qiao Yu was stunned when he saw it.

The stew was purely eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and a little red pepper stewed in a pot. Just looking at it made him lose his appetite.

“Is this what you guys eat?” Qiao Yu couldn’t help but ask.

The boy nodded warily.

“Damn, that’s too miserable… What’s your name?”

“Brian!” The boy’s eyes were even more wary.

“Brian, alright, wait for me!”

Qiao Yu shook his head, put the food that Brian brought to the side, and then walked straight out.

After a while, Qiao Yu came back carrying a wild boar, and he was also holding some green plants that Brian and the little girl couldn’t understand.

The wild boar was originally unwilling to come back with Qiao Yu, but it couldn’t resist Qiao Yu’s fiery enthusiasm.

Qiao Yu carried the wild boar into the kitchen, summoned the flames of the underworld and burned it for a while, and the hard hair on the wild boar was quickly burned clean.

Then, Qiao Yu stirred around in the kitchen, thickening the sauce, battering, coating, tossing the wok, flipping the spoon, and a series of operations that made Brian and the little girl dumbfounded. They had never seen such complicated operations.

If it wasn’t for the rich aroma of the food hitting their noses, they would have even suspected that Qiao Yu wasn’t cooking but refining pills.

As Qiao Yu who had lived alone for 12 years, his cooking skills were naturally excellent. Soon, a wild boar was turned into a table full of delicacies by Qiao Yu.

Sweet and sour ribs, braised pork hock, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, fish-flavored shredded pork, spiced pig head meat, stir-fried pork liver, and pork lung almond soup.

A full seven dishes were brought to the table. Qiao Yu’s index finger moved greatly, this was what he called eating! Then he looked at the brother and sister who were swallowing their saliva frantically.

“What are you two doing in a daze? Go wash your hands and come eat.”

“I’m not eating! I’m not hungry at all! The things you made look unappetizing!”

Brian stubbornly straightened his neck, but at this time his stomach grumbled, and Brian’s face instantly turned red.

Qiao Yu’s face darkened. If Brian wasn’t wearing a Western face, he would have suspected that Ma Fei was impersonating him. That proud and arrogant look was exactly the same as Ma Fei.

Then Qiao Yu could only pretend to be a villain again!

“Heh heh heh! Come over and eat now, or I’ll kill you!”

Brian of course refused, but there was no way, he would lose his life if he didn’t eat.

He was eating for his sister’s safety, yes, that’s right!

Brian warily picked up a pork hock, and then after just one bite, his eyes widened into copper bells!

The skin of the pork hock, which was stewed by Qiao Yu with the flames of the underworld, was salty, fragrant, soft, and glutinous. It melted directly on the tip of his tongue, and the aroma made Brian unable to stop.

Brian had never eaten such delicious food in his life!

As a child from a poor family, the best food he had ever eaten was a hamburger, but these dishes in front of him were far more fascinating than hamburgers!

After eating such delicious food, Brian didn’t rush to take a second bite, but immediately handed the pork hock to his sister.

“Sofia, you should try this!”

After Sofia took a bite, her eyes also lit up, and then the two siblings began to feast, eating with greasy mouths.

Qiao Yu wasn’t surprised by this. If only talking about food, any one of the eight major cuisines of the Great Xia Ancient Country could beat the Western Alliance.

However, this table of dishes was made with the flames of the underworld. He didn’t know if the people of the underworld would rush over to fight Qiao Yu if they knew that Qiao Yu was using their strongest flame to stew pork hocks.
