Tina, the food anchor who had just been rejected by Coco for an interview, brightened up after hearing Coco's comments on Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing: "Mr. Coco, are you saying that those two are also very promising food hunters?"
"Rather than potential... it's better to say strength." Coco, who truly felt the life magnetic field of the two, had a deeper understanding of Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing. On the way, he thought there was some radiation source on the mountain, but he didn't expect that the life magnetic field of that range was actually emitted by humans?
And he also felt that that magnetic field, to a certain extent, represented the range of perception. At the same time, the other person was not simple... It was difficult to amplify the magnetic field to that extent, but it was even more difficult to completely converge the magnetic field!
"In that case, then I'll go shoot them! Puffer whales... I hope to shoot a lot of material, headlines... here I come!" Tina said excitedly.
However, the cameraman, lighting technician and others on the side dissuaded: "Wait, Tina, it's too dangerous inside, we can just shoot outside."
"What? What can be shot outside? Gratitude?" Tina said dissatisfiedly.
However, no one else had any intention of filming further, so Tina had to take her portable camera and her news pigeon named "Kulupo" to chase Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing alone...
But because of the dissuasion of others, Tina was delayed for a while, and when she ran to the cave entrance, she could no longer see Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing.
"Huh? Where are those two just now?" Tina asked in confusion.
"Are you looking for my friends? They have already gone down... Well, they are helping me explore the way and determine the location of the demon snake, and then see me... Hey! I haven't finished talking yet!" Tina left halfway through Zongjia's
words. Who made him look like a braggart?
Since the two mysterious food hunters are gone, Tina decided to go with Alu and the others... If they agree!
In order to collect materials, Tina has the courage to face danger, but... It is courage to dare to follow the "master", and it is stupid to go and die alone.
Although Keke didn't like being photographed, it was good to have some other shots, and the most important thing was to taste the puffer whale...
At this time, Liu Maoxing and Guan Liyuan didn't know that the four kings of PUBG were talking about them behind their backs. After Liu Maoxing entered the maze-like underground cave, he moved his ears and nose and said, "Here, I can hear the sound of water and smell the sea."
If other people heard what Liu Maoxing said, would they definitely disdain the sound of water and the smell of the sea? The cave beach is at least dozens of miles away from the cave entrance, and the underground cave is intricately woven, how could it be possible to feel it?
However, Guan Liyuan did not question it and followed Liu Maoxing's instructions.
There were some level 10 bugs or small beasts hiding in the shadows on the road, trying to sneak attack their prey. However, when Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing passed by, the bugs retreated far away, and the beasts shrank and lay on the ground, trying to reduce their size to express fear and submission. Even the ferocious beasts choked pitifully.
Although ordinary people cannot see it, these evolved beasts and if there are gourmet hunters who have merged with gourmet cells, they can feel it.
Behind Guan Liyuan, there seemed to be a ferocious white tiger, which made these low-level creatures avoid it.
Normally, after humans merge with gourmet cells, they will be parasitized by gourmet demons while having the power brought by gourmet cells. Once they cannot satisfy the appetite of gourmet demons, they will even trigger the phenomenon of "self-eating".
However, Guan Liyuan did not awaken an "extra" gourmet devil, but the devil was generated by Guan Liyuan's own professional characteristics, such as the current "white tiger"...
Perhaps due to the influence of the world rules, although the prototype of this white tiger is the beast form of Guan Liyuan's white tiger, it now looks too ferocious, without the handsomeness shown in the pirate world and the main world, but full of brutality.
"Well? There is a big guy ahead, no need to take a detour?" Liu Maoxing said calmly.
"Of course not, just walk directly to the cave beach without doing anything, I always feel that there is a lack of ritual sense... And the strongest demon snake here is only level 39." Guan Liyuan said.
In the original work, the demon snake in the cave is only more than level 20, but here it is level 39, which means that if the army is dispatched, it will take a lot of casualties to deal with this creature. Moreover, in
this cave environment, the army cannot be used, so it is considered a creature that only high-level gourmet hunters can deal with.
In addition, in the original comics, there is a level 5,000-plus original demon snake in the food world. However, in this world, unless something unexpected happens, there will not be such a high level setting. Even if there is an original demon snake, it is estimated to be only a few hundred levels at most.
So far, the strongest creature Guan Liyuan has seen with his own eyes is the level 55 elephant-hoof flying dragon. In addition, when leaving the Three Paths Road and passing through the Wacker Continent, Guan Liyuan personally hunted prey of more than 40 levels, all of which went into his and Liu Maoxing's stomachs.
Although there are higher-level creatures on the Wacker Continent, including small bosses of levels 70 or 80, there are very few of them. Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing just passed by, so they did not encounter them.
The level 39 demon snake is definitely not Guan Liyuan's opponent.
Gradually, the two of them could clearly hear a sound of friction and footsteps moving together, approaching the next corner.
Then, a demon snake with a dark purple body, a "mane" on its head, and three eyes on short tentacles emerged from the darkness. Its body was several dozen meters long, and the part that "stood up" was nearly ten meters high, blocking Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing.
Although it had a long body like a snake, it also had many short "claws" on both sides of its body, each with three claws and two sharp nails on each claw.
But these were not actually the claws of the demon snake, and there were no bones inside, but its highly active muscles, which could bulge out with scales, simulating the appearance of claws and nails to move or attack.
Muscles that could bulge out at the same time were all highly active parts. As long as the demon snake had enough calories, it could heal immediately even if it was broken, and bulge out a part of it again as a claw...
When this hideous demon snake appeared in front of Liu Maoxing and Guan Liyuan, Guan Liyuan took the initiative to stand in front of him. Liu Maoxing would not participate in the battle unless the other party was willing to "food battle" with him.
"What about this guy?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"It seems to have some genetic defects, so it won't taste good." Liu Maoxing said.
"Tsk, just knock it out..."
If Liu Maoxing said it tasted good, Guan Liyuan wouldn't mind carrying it on his back and stewing it with the puffer whale.
But at this moment, Guan Liyuan's second gourmet demon began to throb. Just like A Lu in the comics, Guan Liyuan also has three gourmet demons, but... none of them are obtained from gourmet cells.
Guan Liyuan did not resist this instinctive throbbing, but released it.
The demon snake that originally wanted to hunt suddenly "saw" a huge half-human, half-snake phantom, which appeared behind Guan Liyuan...
That's right, the second demon was Guan Liyuan's Medusa transformation. Although in this world's incarnation, there are only two professional runes, "Oath-taker" and "Self", and it does not include the "Matter" rune represented by Medusa, but because the high-level runes will shed some scattered rune structures when they are transformed and are received by other runes, so there is also the breath of Medusa on other runes. Under the special rules of this world, the second demon is formed.
Perhaps because of Medusa's higher grade, the White Tiger transformation only came from the second-grade profession, and later transformed into the hyper-grade "self", and Medusa was also a true disaster-grade creature before the rune transformation...
Therefore, Guan Liyuan's Medusa phantom was much less affected than the White Tiger, and even from the facial features, Guan Liyuan's outline could be faintly seen.
As soon as Medusa appeared, the "(female) queen's majesty" that evolved in the Pokémon world suddenly radiated out!
The demon snake suddenly stiffened, and even the constantly twisting eye tentacles stopped, and the body trembled slightly...
In the end, under the "(female) queen's majesty", the demon snake directly crawled on the ground and surrendered to Guan Liyuan.
It is said that the demon snake is not only cruel by nature, but also has the original gene of the gourmet world. Even if it has degenerated to level 39, it will not be easily intimidated by momentum.
Even if the gourmet hunter who was much stronger than him released the breath of the gourmet demon, at most it would only have a deterrent effect, making it dare not take the initiative to attack, but not directly surrender...
However, Guan Liyuan's demon Medusa, which itself has the breath of "king of snakes", coupled with the rendering of the "(female) queen's majesty", the demon snake, which is also a snake, directly prostrated on the ground!
Guan Liyuan: "..."
Seeing that the opponent had already knelt down and surrendered, Guan Liyuan was naturally embarrassed to take action, but just curled his lips in dissatisfaction, then touched the demon snake's head, which was also lying high, and passed by it with Liu Maoxing.
This thing has a low IQ... Many creatures here are like this, powerful, but the brain is no different from that of ordinary beasts.
Submission to Guan Liyuan is just instinct, unable to truly obey Guan Liyuan's orders, and it is too ugly, so Guan Liyuan has no intention of keeping it as a pet.
In the original work, there were two demon snakes in the cave, but Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing only encountered one. After that, they followed the smell and sound of the sea water, followed the correct and shortest path, and came to an open area in the cave!
Although it is in the belly of the mountain, there are many fluorescent minerals and fireflies here, so even ordinary people will not be affected too much by vision here.
In the middle of the open space is a pool of water. From here, you can go down to a low point underground that is connected to the sea water. As for here... it should be about the height of sea level. Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing entered from the cave on the top of the mountain, and came to the "hollow" bottom of the mountain from the maze cave in the belly of the mountain.
"The water is still very quiet, it seems that it is not time yet." Liu Maoxing said.
Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing came in early, and there was no delay on the road. They arrived here in an hour. There are still more than four hours before the earliest time of prophecy and scientific observation...
So the two of them set up a tent for rest here, prepared a grill, a portable stove, etc., and already had a feeling of camping!
Not time yet? Then take out the rechargeable electric oven bought in the food city you passed by and fully charge it by pedaling. Then put the folding cabinets in place, arrange all kinds of spices, and take out the folding chopping board, which is more comfortable than cutting on the stone... The kitchen has been arranged and has a homely feel.
Still not time yet? Then arrange the dining table, high chairs, and table lamps... If you don't know, you might think it's a restaurant!
Anyway, with Guan Liyuan here, the top creatures in the cave, the demon snake, have all bowed down, and other creatures dare not approach.
It was not until Guan Liyuan laid out the carpet that he finally felt something approaching from below the "pool"!
"Huh? Puffer whales should come here in groups to lay eggs, right? Judging from the sound, it should be an individual, and it's very fast!" Liu Maoxing said.
Guan Liyuan also noticed this at this time, and looked at the pool with caution...
Just when he could see the black shadow approaching the water surface, the next blink of an eye, the other party had rushed out of the water at a very fast speed and landed in front of Guan Liyuan who was on guard!
"Ah! Someone actually arrived so early, hiccup... young people are full of fighting spirit, but... you still have to wait for about half an hour, hiccup..."
In front of them was an old man with a crew cut who had just come out of the sea, and he could not hide the smell of alcohol. He was talking and hiccuping... and he was dragging a fishing bucket on his shoulder!
Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing were sure that the old man was not in the pool before, and the two had been here for more than four hours, which means... the old man also swam up from the seabed connection.
"Huh? Is this... hiccup, did you arrange it? Young people nowadays are really... hiccup, unexpectedly romantic!" The old man said as he looked at the arranged "cooking environment" and "dining environment".
Even the legend among the food hunters felt that he had seen this scene for a long time.
Yes, Guan Liyuan had recognized the other party... Let's just say he recognized him, because the original work and the world are not completely consistent, Guan Liyuan didn't know whether the settings in the original work were true, but this person must be the legendary acupuncture master Jiro.
He is the junior of IGO's president Yilong, and the second disciple of the food god Acacia...
Guan Liyuan has also seen these names in magazines, but most people don't know what Jiro looks like. The magazines only have photos of him when he was young, which is very different from his current shrunk body.
However, Jiro was just passing by and didn't mean to stay to eat together, but he also reminded Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing about the time when the puffer whales arrived...
"So there is such a way? This is to dive directly and block the bottom of the sea, right?" Guan Liyuan said.
Although Guan Liyuan can dive directly from the pool now, since there is only half an hour, Guan Liyuan simply chooses to wait there...
At the same time, Alu and Coco, who have also overcome difficulties and dangers, are gradually approaching the pool space with Xiaosong who escaped from death...
When the three of them turned to the entrance of the pool space, they were almost scared to bite their tongues. Who opened a store here?
They actually have the leisure to lay carpets?
And I also saw Guan Liyuan and Liu Maoxing taking off their clothes. Apparently, they were the only ones who had so much free time!
Guan Liyuan explained awkwardly, "Wait, we are taking off our clothes to go into the water. The puffer whales are approaching. Don't misunderstand me!"
A Lu, Ke Ke, Xiao Song: ...
"No, before you explain, no one of us misunderstood me..."
