When Su Luo put the last piece of roasted meat into his mouth, he patted his belly with satisfaction, very pleased with the meal.
"Xiaomei, your cooking skills have improved even more since I entered the Abyss. Did you secretly find a master to teach you?"
Upon hearing Su Luo's words, the gourmet standing in front of the grill seemed to pause, turning his head with some confusion. The moment he saw Su Luo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Boss, you...when did you get back?!"
Upon hearing this, Su Luo, who had just been beaming with happiness and satisfaction, suddenly paused, her expression instantly clearing. Looking up, she saw the gourmet in front of her begin to dissipate, like a phantom, slowly disappearing, replaced by a desolate palace and gleaming white bones that had been gnawed on.
This is……
Su Luo suddenly stood up, took a half step back in surprise, and looked at his blood-stained hands. The taste of those strange creatures seemed to linger on his tongue, stimulating his taste buds and lingering for a long time.
Did she... eat all these strange creatures?!
Although the process was enjoyable, the thought of having just eaten those strangely shaped, charred monsters made my stomach churn, and I covered my mouth, wanting to vomit.
What kind of mess is this?!
Why does it smell so good? It must be because I've been starving for too long in the Abyss. Even a strange creature looks delicious to me!
Meanwhile, in the apocalypse, in the cabin.
The food critic, holding the spatula, seemed somewhat at a loss.
Did he just see the boss? The boss even seemed to be praising his improved grilling skills?
But……
Seeing the fish still jumping around in the pot, the gourmet, who was about to steam it, immediately changed his strategy.
The boss must be missing his cooking skills. Barbecue? Hmm, since the boss wants barbecue, why bother steaming? Let's just grill it!
I wonder when the boss will be back, and whether he'll be able to catch this fish.
It's not very kind of you to keep the fish grilling over the fire. We should eat it. Let's make another one when the eldest comes back, it'll be fresh!
Fish: Thank you, brother, you're really considerate of me!
...
"This, this..."
Before Yu Yu and his group of ghosts even got close, they were the first to see the mountain of stark white bones, elegant, artistic, and even stacked in a very layered manner, like that thing in the human world called the Iron Tower.
Beneath these bones stood a figure.
The figure stared intently at its blood-stained hands, licked its lips, and seemed to still be savoring the memory.
Horrifying.
Horrible.
That monster eats ghosts! Isn't that terrifying enough?
"Miss Rain, Rain, Rain, what do we do now?" Faced with this scene, even the one who had just been shouting the loudest and most disdainful was now weak in the knees.
There was no other reason than that he vaguely sensed the aura of a strange creature belonging to the same category as him within that pile of white bones, which instantly threw him into a panic.
what to do?
That goes without saying!
Of course... run!
Seemingly noticing the commotion behind him, Su Luo slowly turned around, coldly looking at the gathering of strange creatures. He was just thinking about whether to disguise himself and sneak in to gather information and search for intelligence when the group of strange creatures suddenly changed their expressions and screamed as they retreated frantically.
Su Luo: ? ? ? ?
No, why are you running? She's not going to eat them. Why are you all acting like you've seen a ghost? Have you figured out who the real ghost is?
Looking at the space in front of him that was clearing up in seconds, Su Luo tilted his head, puzzled.
Unbeknownst to her, because she had just used the strange object, her face was now covered in bloodstains, traces of the strange object's body tissue remained at the corners of her mouth, and her body was stained with blood. Coupled with her cold eyes, she looked just like a monster that ate strange objects.
Before long, news spread like wildfire throughout the entire forbidden area that a monster that eats ghosts had appeared at the edge of the sacred forbidden land, in the eastern broken cliff.
"What the hell? A monster that eats ghosts? Did you guys even see it clearly?"
"It's true, it's absolutely true! I'd be a dog if I lied to you! If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. The skeletons are piled up like a tower, and they've been eaten clean!"
"Holy crap, when did the forbidden area become so ferocious? Shouldn't these things still be deep within the forbidden area? How did they end up outside?"
"Who knows? When we came in, the mountain monsters guarding the forbidden area suddenly went berserk and started attacking. Who knows if it's related to this monster!"
"What? That mountain monster can go berserk? Who in this Holy City can stop it? Has the City Lord arrived?"
"That's right, I was the last one to come in, and guess what I saw?"
"What did you see?" A group of ghosts gathered around, looking curiously at the one spreading the message in the center.
Noticing everyone's expectant gazes, the monster seemed quite pleased. It raised its head and said with a mysterious yet inexplicably shocked expression, "We were about to lose, but suddenly a bloody hole appeared in the mountain monster's wing, as if something... had taken a big bite out of it!"
The news spread like wildfire, becoming increasingly outrageous. By the time Su Luo finally sat down in the small inn town established by his predecessors, the news had become that a nine-star peak evil monster had emerged from the depths of the Holy Domain's forbidden area. It devoured monsters and burned down cities, even bringing its own barbecue grill!
Su Luo: ……
Sometimes, one has to admire the imagination of these strange creatures. If they were in the real world, they would all be top-notch writers.
However, to be fair, Su Luo's appearance at that time was indeed a bit scary, no, terrifying.
Afterwards, he found a green oasis to wash off the things on his body, and then used [Painting Heart] to modify his appearance. Otherwise, if he had appeared in this small town of post stations with that face, it would have caused panic among the monsters instantly, and there would have been no trace of monsters within a ten-mile radius.
These days, it's really too difficult to communicate with ghosts!
Su Luo sighed.
Fortunately, the currency used in this forbidden area was the same as that used outside; ghost money was still usable. Su Luo temporarily stayed in a room in this post station city and then inquired about the news of the exchanges between the ghostly creatures.
She hadn't expected there to be something like a town in the forbidden area. She'd heard that in the beginning, the forbidden area had its own inhabitants, but most of them lived deep within the forbidden area and rarely came out.
After that, the forbidden area was opened every three years, and the time spent there increased. The younger generation who entered spontaneously gathered together and established several such small towns as post stations, serving as places to exchange information and stay.
Although it's only three days outside the main area, it's a full three years inside the forbidden zone. After all, you can't be cultivating and searching for treasure all the time; you should also have normal rest.
Su Luo agreed with this.
She wasn't in a hurry to immediately enter the depths of the forbidden area; she was still somewhat curious about this place.
Why, why did she find those strange creatures in the forbidden area so fragrant?
These foreign monsters that entered the forbidden area were alright, but the monsters that originally existed here had a fatal attraction for her, seemingly calling to her silently, willingly letting her devour them!
