Chapter 157 Inside the Bronze Door
"Is her ability to split and regenerate really that magical?"
Xie Yuchen listened for a long time and his curiosity was completely aroused by them.
Zhang Moyu thought for a moment and spoke seriously.
"How about I let it perform for you?"
Xie Yuchen was eager to make a move, but his face showed some hesitation.
“Isn’t this a bad idea?”
"What's wrong with this? Why would we talk about morality with the evil god?"
Zhang Molan had a malicious smile on his face. He used his spiritual energy to gather some water vapor, condensed it into an ice crystal, and then threw it hard at Tomie's head.
The next second, Tomie fell down silently with her eyes open. The ice spike pierced her head directly, and bright red blood spread all over the ground, staining it red.
Because the inside of this big hole is made of crystal glass without any gaps, they don't need to worry about the blood seeping into the soil and carrying Tomie's genes to other places.
"It will take some time for the blood to grow after she comes back to life. Let's get something to eat first."
Zhang Molan had long been eyeing the fish in the river, not for any other reason but out of curiosity and wanting to try some.
The others nodded in sync, agreeing with what he said.
Then several people left Tomie behind. Those who needed to catch fish went fishing, and those who needed to chop tree roots to make fire did so. They coordinated with each other to cook.
The strange smile on Tomie's face as she lay on the ground gradually flattened as they left, and her expression became ferocious.
These damn men! Just wait, one day, I, Fu Jiang, will make you kneel down and beg me like dogs!
The Tianchi Yao fish has no scales on its body and no mucus to retain its moisture. It feels cool and refreshing to the touch.
If it weren't for its soft and elastic touch, its moving eyes and its swaying body, an uninformed person might mistake it for a jade work of art rather than a fish.
The experienced Zhang Qiling was responsible for processing the fish, Zhang Molan and Jie Yuchen went to catch some lively crystal shrimps, Zhang Moyu went to pick edible small mushrooms, and the remaining two went deep into the cave to chop some half-dead tree roots to use as firewood.
After everything was almost ready, Zhang Qiling went to find the ceramic pots and bowls he had used before. Together with the pots and bowls and the special iron grilling plates they brought, he could cook the food in any way, such as steaming, baking, boiling or frying.
Because everyone had prepared in advance, everyone brought some seasonings in their bags.
Several people gathered together and took out everything they had. Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, chili, sugar, honey, spices, dipping sauce, onions, ginger, and garlic were all available. The most outrageous thing was that Zhang Molan also took out a handful of vermicelli and a bag of sealed hot pot meatballs.
Most of the seasonings were brought by Zhang Qiling, and it was estimated that he had already had this idea in mind.
Xie Yuchen, an honest child, only brought a can of salt. Seeing that they brought so many seasonings, almost as much as his kitchen, and some even brought their own ingredients, he suddenly felt as if he seemed a little out of place with them.
Sure enough, this is a group of carefree people.
They are very reliable when they should be reliable, but become extremely outrageous when they don't need to be reliable.
Xie Yuchen felt that he had seen through these Zhang family members.
Several people knew how to cook, so they each brought a fish and grilled the flavors they wanted. They also set up an extra stove and stewed Tianchi Yao fish, crystal shrimp, small mushroom heads, vermicelli and hot pot meatballs together.
When the fish was almost done roasting, the other pot was also stewed. Everyone had a bowl and they enjoyed the delicious food together.
"This fish is really good. When grilled, it's tender and has a rich fishy aroma. When made into soup, it has a smooth texture and melts in your mouth. It's really not comparable to ordinary fish."
Xie Yuchen sighed while eating.
He was of high social status and had eaten a lot of good food since he was a child, but this was the first time he had eaten such delicious meat. He didn't know if it was because of the growing environment, but he felt that even the shrimps here tasted more delicious than those from other places.
"You guys aren't full yet, are you? I'll go catch some more fish. We have so many seasonings and utensils here, it would be a shame not to enjoy the meal to the fullest this time."
Zhang Moyu went to catch fish after he finished eating. Zhang Molan, who had finished eating quickly, also went over to help with a smile on his face. Then came Zhang Zhiyi and Zhang Zhixuan, who were still not satisfied.
Xie Yuchen looked at them in surprise and touched her belly unconsciously.
This fish was quite large, and with a large bowl of soup with various ingredients, Xie Yuchen felt as if he was full at the moment.
Xie Yuchen turned his gaze towards Zhang Qiling, who was sitting quietly with him, and was just about to complain about the big appetites of his clansmen.
As a result, I saw a few empty milk cartons next to Zhang Qiling. He poured half a pot of milk into a clean pot, added some sugar and other things and was stirring it. It was obvious that he wanted to wait and cook a pot of sweet soup.
Xie Yuchen silently swallowed back the words he wanted to say, and thought to himself that they were really a bunch of animals, capable and greedy... Ahem, it seemed a bit impolite to think like that.
It should be said that the Zhang family is truly gifted. Since those who are capable should work harder, it is only right that they should eat more.
After comforting himself, Xie Yuchen joined their team in making food.
This time it was fried fish fillet with fried mushrooms, plus drunken shrimp sashimi, and fish paste milk mushroom soup.
Xie Yuchen only tasted a little of each. He wanted to eat more, but unfortunately his stomach was full. He felt that he was too full and would vomit if he ate any more.
However, the Zhang family's Qilins, who had excellent appetites and digestive systems, ate with great relish and brought in nearly ten more fish, which made Xie Yuchen's eyelids twitch.
"Is it really okay for you to eat so much?"
Xie Yuchen couldn't understand where all the food went. Their stomachs didn't seem to be getting bigger at all.
"It's okay. Even though I eat a lot, I digest it quickly and the food turns into energy in my body. I can eat one meal and then go hungry for two days."
Zhang Molan spoke nonchalantly.
“So amazing!”
Xie Yuchen automatically turned his gaze to the person he was most familiar with, Zhang Qiling, and thought inappropriately, "So this is why this young man can be so indifferent to worldly matters in front of others?"
Then he thought of Tomie again, and a question that he was very curious about suddenly popped up in his mind.
"I suddenly thought of a question. That Tomie can regenerate quickly and reproduce indefinitely. If a person's digestion speed can match his regeneration speed, wouldn't his stomach always be full and never need to eat again?"
"No, people with strong digestive abilities will get diarrhea if they eat Tomie."
Zhang Moyu, who had witnessed many bizarre scenes in the horror world, spoke casually subconsciously, and then found that there was sudden silence around him.
Zhang Moyu raised his head with a little confusion, and saw several people looking at him with indescribable eyes.
As we all know, without practice, there is no right to speak.
Due to Zhang Moyu's status in the Zhang family, they didn't want to know how Zhang Moyu knew that people with good digestive systems would have diarrhea after eating Tomie.
Zhang Moyu knew what they were thinking after a quick thought. He couldn't help but chuckle and gave them a helpless look.
"What are you all thinking about, this is a guy I used to know who went through this."
Thinking of his past experiences, Zhang Moyu paused and continued speaking.
"I mentioned to you before that I once traveled to another world a long time ago. There, demons and ghosts were rampant, and humans could only hide in the corners and struggle to survive."
“That’s where I encountered and learned about the evil spirit Tomie.
I remember one time, I saw a person with gluttonous blood, who relied on his good digestive system and the ability to replenish anything he ate, and ate a piece of Tomie's meat.
The result was that the man had diarrhea for a week straight, and every time he had diarrhea, a collapsed Tomie would pop out of the toilet after a while, so this kind of thing is probably indigestible."
There are really brave people who go to try it!
Several people admired the warrior in their hearts. He did everything just for the sake of stuttering!
Just as a few people were chatting idly and Zhang Molan and Zhang Zhiyi were discussing whether to go to the river to catch two more fish, the sound of quarreling coming from the pit caught their attention.
One of the voices belonged to Tomie, who sounded somewhat exasperated at the moment. There was also a shrill and strange voice that was rudely cursing at her, and an even smaller, slightly stuttering and creepy voice that was constantly fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire.
