Chapter 459 This is... Everything is a Sword!
Ji Ruo distributed the badges, hesitated for a moment, and then put the still dazed Tim and the white cat into his four-dimensional pocket - the rainbow sea before was indeed Ji Ruo's dream. Although his portal was indeed extraordinary, he could not connect the real void with a false coordinate... What's more, where they were before was not necessarily the reality!
Emily and Sheila in the Rainbow Sea are just products of "Wish Come True".
The truth and falsehood in this secret realm are enough to give Ji Ruo a headache, but since he has come here, if he doesn't solve the problem, he will probably be like Liang Shixian before, sinking into a nightmare without knowing it.
"Squad leader, this trip may be dangerous, otherwise..."
Liang Shixian held the badge in his hand. After waking up, he was already vague about the details of his dream, but he still vaguely remembered how embarrassing he was in the dream. Now he held his breath and gritted his teeth and said, "I won't hold you back, Ji Ruo, let me go with you! If I don't figure out what's going on and don't personally catch that guy and beat him up, I won't make sense!"
"Okay." Seeing this, Ji Ruo didn't persuade her anymore, but just looked at Luo Xi again.
Luo Xi was also furious, gnashing her teeth and ready to go: "Master, I want to go too! It's so abominable, it almost makes me unable to eat in the future, it's abominable, it's so abominable!"
Ji Ruo nodded, and then considerately helped Luo Xi pin the badge on her red scarf.
"Well, everyone, be careful, let's go..."
Ji Xiaoxiao on the side was confused and pointed at herself: "What about me? What about me?! You guys are going out to play and you don't want to take me with you? Huh?
Discuss it in person without me?"
The two people and the cat looked at him at the same time. Ji Ruo was fine, but the lingering hostility in Luo Xi and Liang Shixian's eyes really scared Ji Xiaoxiao - he had never seen Liang Shixian and Luo Xi like this before.
Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't help but lose some momentum, and said awkwardly: "If you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it. It's no big deal. I don't care about it..."
There was a sense of grievance and sourness in his tone.
He actually forgot what he had done in Ji Ruo's star realm...
Ji Ruo thought for a moment, handed the badge that he had intended to give to Tim, and said solemnly, "Be careful."
Ji Xiaoxiao was stunned, then nodded.
Afterwards, several people put on their badges, and suddenly, a mysterious feeling came over them.
Looking at the runes on the ground again, although I still can't understand them, I have a different feeling about them.
Those runes seemed to have half life, flowing and twisting, as if narrating something that had existed since the beginning of the world and remained unchanged ever since time immemorial.
And because of this, several people discovered some more details.
Although these runes together form a huge and ancient altar, they are not completely connected and there are occasional breaks between them, just like paragraphs of a story.
If they want to know something, they need to choose a "section" and slowly experience it...
Ji Ruo hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the general routines and basic rules of horror movies, it is a taboo to act separately. We don't know the truth, so we'd better be careful..."
"It's a big taboo to act separately? I don't believe it!"
Ji Xiaoxiao laughed loudly, and relying on his own ever-changing inner demon body, he directly took off his head!
Everyone: “???”
However, tiny limbs grew out from under Ji's small head. A large axe and a shield appeared in his hands. Ji shouted, "Xing Tian dances with his swords and shields, his fierce will remains! It's just a nightmare, so what if we split up and act separately!"
As he spoke, his head and torso fell on two adjacent runes respectively. Under the effect of the "Badge of Entering the Story", the hard ground seemed to turn into flowing water, allowing it to sink.
Liang Shixian looked at this scene, stunned. He pointed at the place where Ji Xiaoxiao's body was just now and asked a very crucial question -
"He...how did he say that with his body just now? Ji Ruo, are you also good at ventriloquism?"
Ji Ruo looked up at the sky and said in a sad tone: "Didn't you smell it, squad leader?"
"Huh?" Liang Shixian was slightly stunned.
"You weren't talking just now, you were using the subtle martial arts to manipulate your body and make a fart sound."
"???"
After a long while, Liang Shixian finally said dryly: "As expected of your inner demon."
Ji Ruo: “?”
"Squad leader, you misunderstood. I would never do that!"
"Yeah, yeah, I believe you."
Liang Shixian nodded repeatedly, but he didn't look like he really believed it.
Ji Ruo wanted to explain.
Suddenly, two sharp screams were heard.
Ji's small head and torso flew out from the two runes almost at the same time and merged into one in mid-air.
Behind him, countless black air condensed into countless beasts with strange appearances. There were thousands of them, roaring and chasing after Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao ran wildly while introducing it at a rapid speed: "This thing is called a monster. It is condensed from the remnants of nightmares. It is ferocious and cruel. It will attack all living and dead things it sees indiscriminately. It cannot be killed or destroyed. No matter how serious the injury is, it will heal automatically... This is the description I saw in the 'story'. Old man, save me!"
Ji Ruo was stunned, but did not hesitate.
He raised his hand to stop Liang Shixian who was about to take action, and said: "Squad leader, there are too many of them, and you don't have the means to attack in groups, leave it to me.
I have a sword that can break this tide of beasts!"
Liang Shixian looked back in confusion, and then froze.
But Ji Ruo clapped his hands, and the Wanhua Arsenal on his wrists suddenly glowed with silver light and transformed into a cold and ferocious Vulcan Gatling gun!
Liang Shixian was still wondering what the connection was between the Vulcan Gatling gun and swordsmanship when he saw Ji Ruo take a deep breath and pull the trigger.
The next moment, the gun barrel spun rapidly.
Endless sword light burst out from the gun barrel, like a river falling from the sky, full of murderous aura yet extremely beautiful!
Although the monsters were numerous, they could not resist such a terrifying attack and were shattered by the swords. Although they were still healing, the speed of their healing was far slower than the speed of their injuries.
For a moment, I was suppressed!
It was like a single man wielding a gun, with endless sword energy, making 3,600 turns in an instant, killing countless people and suppressing thousands of monsters so that they could not raise their heads.
Liang Shixian was stunned and said, "Ji Ruo, what kind of sword is this?"
Ji Ruo raised his lips, and the flickering sword light reflected his perfect handsome profile. The young man spoke with high spirits: "This is... Everything is a Sword!"
Liang Shixian's expression twitched.
God makes everything into a sword!
He looked at the Vulcan Gatling, then at the seemingly endless tiny sword auras, feeling their sharpness, but still couldn't accept it.

I thought to myself, you couldn’t have learned this from Li Wenchuan!
That guy learned excavators, missiles, and torpedoes from Xingyiquan, and you only learned Vulcan Gatling Swordsmanship? !
You are absolutely perfect with both sword and knife... absolutely, absolutely perfect!
After this battle, Liang Shixian's anger dissipated a little.
However, it is not a solution to continue suppressing them like this. Although Ji Ruo can be said to be an army of one man and can easily suppress these monsters, he himself is also bound here and unable to move.
Those monsters, no matter how badly they were injured, could heal quickly.
It seemed that no matter how severe the injury was, it was not fatal.
Liang Shixian also noticed this and couldn't help frowning.
Rosie on the side jumped up and wanted to go forward and start eating, but those monsters looked so ferocious, and their roars and growls actually scared Rosie.
Luo Xi hid behind Ji Ruo, holding one of Ji Ruo's feet, looking sideways, and said fiercely: "Why are you roaring! Do you really think that I am afraid of you? If you are brave, come here, and watch me, Tianshan Zhe Miao, will not catch you and make you happy! Slightly~"
At the end, he even made a face.
Fortunately, this stalemate did not last too long, and Ji Ruo had already thought of a way to deal with them.
"A hundred gods help me to kill the goblin!"
A large number of shadow clones stood up from behind Ji Ruo and moved individually, going to capture these monsters at an extremely fast speed and constantly stuffing them into their four-dimensional pockets.
Although the black gas was still condensing new monsters, under Ji Ruo's almost endless capture, the size of the monsters that appeared later became smaller and smaller, and the threat was greatly reduced.
Two hours later, no more black gas appeared, and the monsters seemed to be extinct and no longer appeared.
And Ji Ruo's four-dimensional pocket is already filled with no less than 100,000 monsters!
Ji Ruo raised the Vulcan Gatling gun, blew at the muzzle in a pretentious manner, and said proudly, "It's just a monster, nothing more than that."
Liang Shixian: “…”
He still couldn't accept Ji Ruo's "Everything is a Sword", but to be honest, he really wanted to learn... ahem.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked around with a guilty conscience, and when he saw that the monster was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief. He spoke, "Let's continue exploring. The 'stories' in these runes are not complicated, and it's easy to understand the contents. There may be some dangers, but with my old friends here, it won't be a big problem... Oh, no, I'm not going to die, so what was I afraid of just now?"
Liang Shixian glanced down at him, and thought of what Ji Ruo had just said about the principle of how Ji's small body made sounds. He couldn't help but sigh, feeling very tired.
Ji Xiaoxiao, who had already teamed up with Luo Xi, selected another rune and entered.
After transforming the Vulcan Gatling gun into an arsenal of all kinds of weapons, Ji Ruo opened his four-dimensional pocket and looked inside. Next to his head, the pages of "The Classic of Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas" were flipping, and no one knew what he was doing.
After thinking for a moment, Ji Ruo suddenly slapped the simple hand-painted watch on his wrist, opened the time-stopping field, and isolated everyone else.
"The God of Cooking didn't give any feedback, and the Book of Burning Mountains and Boiling Seas didn't give a suitable cooking method..."
He fell into deep thought.
These monsters have different shapes, but they are all ugly without exception and don't look like they are delicious.
Neither the wisdom of our ancestors nor the god of the stove had any reaction to this thing.
Either this thing is simply inedible, or its existence is beyond the wisdom of our ancestors and the duties of the stove god...
If it's the former, then it's fine. But if it's the latter -
The so-called transcendence does not mean that his status is high, but that the ancestors before him had never come into contact with him, so the position of the stove god condensed from the incense of Daxia had no reaction.
In other words, no experience in this area.
"After the catastrophe, the world became so vast that even Daxia could only live in a corner... Monsters evolved infinitely, the blood of the demon race increased, and hybrids emerged... The world is constantly changing, so it's normal to encounter things you've never tasted before."
Ji Ruo talked to himself, and it sounded like he had let it go, but deep down, he was still feeling angry.
Previously, on the back of the Sky-Seeking Whale, the nightmare of ice and snow had begun, and he was helpless in dealing with the nightmare of black fog. Also, because neither the divine power nor his own golden body had reacted, he did not think about it in that regard.
I just thought this thing was inedible.
But Rosie told him clearly that this thing can be eaten!
It's just that the taste and texture are extremely different... This was also proven when he asked Ji Xiaoxiao to help him cook the golden body.
The reason why Ji Ruo felt depressed was——
He is a Daxia person, a Daxia person who witnessed the prosperity of a thousand years ago and grew up happily with the help of the system teachers!
Even if we don't count his identity as the God of Stove, he is still a Daxia person who has the belief 'food is the first necessity of the people' in his blood!
In the Daxia people’s understanding——
"How can there be something that cannot be eaten?!"
Ji Ruo gritted his teeth and said, "It doesn't taste good because the cooking method is wrong. The predecessors also pioneered cooking by feeling their way forward. They had no experience, so I created experience! I am the God of Cooking, blessed with the cooking experience of countless predecessors. I stand on the shoulders of giants, so there is no reason why I can't innovate!"
Even if it becomes a disaster, you will be wiped out!"
Ji Ruo himself did not notice that although he was protected by the title of "Dream Traveler", he had never sunk into the "Rainbow Sea Nightmare", but after all, this place was special.
He was inevitably affected and became a little more aggressive for a while.
However, this may not be a bad thing. At least for now, this temporary increase in hostility has made him more focused and given him the courage to "dare to be the first in the world"!
What is cooking?
The so-called cooking is to make the originally unpalatable ingredients taste good through the stove, some methods and means, and some specific combinations.
Ji Ruo knew all kinds of cooking techniques in the world, and there were a lot of ingredients in his four-dimensional pocket, enough for him to try.
He took out a monster, subdued it with brute force, and carefully observed, studied, and pondered.
Regardless of the struggle, try frying, steaming, boiling, stir-frying, braising, stewing, hot pot, and grilling...
Ji Ruo has tried almost all cooking methods.
Not only that, for each cooking method, he also tried a large number of combinations of ingredients.
Remove fishy smell, enhance freshness, marinate to taste...
But after five 'Nights of Miracles', there has been no progress at all.
(The original purpose of the Time Stop Field was to catch up on homework on the eve of school, hence the name Miracle Night)
This stuff still tastes terrible.
Even Ji Ruo was very tired - mainly mentally. With his current state of mind, even forty or four hundred days, let alone forty hours without sleep, would not be a problem at all.
The key point is that he still needs to taste it.
This monster tastes terrible no matter how it is cooked. Jiruo has to taste and record every cooking method. With his abilities, he must know more than tens of thousands of cooking methods.
Ji Ruo's face looked bitter and his eyes had dark circles.
Fortunately, hard work pays off.
Finally, on the tenth 'Miracle Night', Ji Ruo successfully developed an acceptable way of eating -
Mix cold.
It’s not that Ji Ruo didn’t think about stewing it cold at first, but this monster can recover automatically even if its body is damaged. Other cooking methods are fine, but if it is stewed cold, the meat will return to the monster as soon as it is cut. It cannot be stewed cold at all.
However, if Ji Ruo discovered it, he only needed to blanch it in boiling water first, and then with a little divine power, he could add various seasonings into it.
It can still be mixed cold within a certain period of time.
The taste is similar to cold bitter melon, and the taste can be adjusted according to personal preference.
Ji Ruo tried it and found it sour, spicy and cool at the same time. The meat was cut thinly enough with a hint of bitterness, but it was not offensive. On the contrary, because of the nightmare residue, it gave people a strange feeling.
The most important thing is that it can slowly strengthen the consumer's mental strength!
"Finally, it worked!"
Ji Ruo prepared a plate of Monster Cold Meat and steamed a pot of rice. He ate the Monster Cold Meat with a smile on his face:
"That's what I said. How could there be something in this world that we Daxia people can't eat?"
Even the monster meat, which was once extremely unpalatable, has long been eaten in different ways, and now this monster is naturally no exception!
