Chapter 1929: Chapter 180: The Advantage Is Ours! Strike! (Part 2)
"No worries, I see that Peculiar-Eyed Scale Pheasants are quite common. If we don’t have enough to eat, we can just catch more later." Lan Wanyi smacked her lips, already indulging in thoughts of the future, "Anyway, the strongest ones only reach Level Six, and the tender chicks aren’t even Level Four, making them easy to catch."
It’s a pity they’re not social creatures; otherwise, we could grab a whole bunch at once, making it even more satisfying to eat.
As they spoke, Wang Licui had already taken out a small notebook from her storage ring and started writing in it meticulously.
What is she writing this time?
Zhang Huaibing was curious when he saw this.
He was a latecomer to this group, knowing far less about Wang Licui than the other two. Unable to contain his curiosity, he leaned over for a peek.
He saw several lines clearly written in the little notebook: "Peculiar-Eyed Scale Pheasant (Chick), Flavor fresh and fragrant, tender meat, with an inherent spiciness and the unique piquancy of demonic beast meat, the fishiness is not strong, has a mild stimulating effect on God Sense, consuming it can refresh and invigorate. Recommendation Index: ★★ (Not recommended for cultivators below the Spirit Platform Realm)."
"Additionally, the chicks we caught this time were a bit big, the meat fibers already a bit old. Next time, it’s better to catch Level Three ones, the texture will probably be much better."
Goodness, is Senior Sister Licui planning to write an outland version of the [Licui’s Gourmet Guide]? Does she really intend to eat all the edible demonic beasts in the outlands?
Zhang Huaibing increasingly admired this senior sister now.
He came to the outlands only thinking of accumulating Merit Points, contributing to the Human race, and stunning everyone back home, whereas Senior Sister Licui is already contemplating making money off demonic beasts.
He could already imagine it: once Senior Sister Licui’s outland version of the gourmet guide comes out, with her influence in the gourmet world, demonic beast meat will definitely become a hit and might even attract a large crowd to specifically come to the outlands to hunt for demonic beast meat.
Yet, the outlands are full of battlefields; where are there so many demonic beasts to eat?
Thinking of this, Zhang Huaibing silently lit a candle in his heart for those outland demonic beasts.
Demonic beasts praised as delicious by Senior Sister Licui might need a dedicated farm to supply the demand in the future. Is this considered good or bad?
As he was pondering, suddenly, Wang Licui, who was busily writing the "post-meal thoughts," suddenly paused, a cold gleam flashing through her eyes.
The next moment.
Her figure flickered, instantly transforming into a light and disappearing from the spot.
Seeing this, Wang Yingxuan and Zhang Huaibing instantly became alert too.
It seems Wang Licui has discovered something.
Among the four present, Wang Licui had the highest cultivation base, and due to the Gluttonous Bloodline, she had a sensitivity towards anything related to "food" that exceeded that of ordinary people, often spotting anomalies before others realized them.
This was also the reason she could always sneak into fierce beast nests in the wild.
Soon, they heard the sounds of violent collisions coming from deep within the cave, along with a tragic "squeak" sound.
A moment later, Wang Licui reappeared, holding a tail and dragging a miserably beaten "Big Mouse."
The size of the Big Mouse was comparable to an ancient giant elephant, its body covered in thick black fur, but now it was beaten bloody, its beady little eyes tearful, looking unbearably tragic.
It seemed it was seriously thrashed by Wang Licui just now.
"You’re too cumbersome like this; shrink down a bit." Wang Licui threw the Big Mouse aside and motioned for it to shrink with a hand gesture.
The giant mouse fearfully retracted its neck, then obediently shrank down to about the size of an average human.
"Wan’er, quickly check what species this Big Mouse is?" Wang Licui looked at its glossy fur and plump body, nearly drooling.
Lan Wanyi quickly fished out the [Outland Battlefield Wild Demonic Beast Atlas] from her military training notes and began searching.
Before long, she figured out the origin of that Big Fat Mouse: "This is a [Demonic Realm Tunneling Mouse], rare in number and extremely uncommon, possessing tunneling divine skills and partial spatial talents. They are innately greedy, love causing destruction everywhere, and especially like stealing valuable items, regarded even among the outland demons as one of the top four nuisances."
"One of the four nuisances, and with spatial talent? That’s a rare breed, the meat must be delicious." Wang Licui was even more thrilled.
"Squeak squeak squeal~!"
The big fat mouse, though it couldn’t understand Wang Licui’s human language, instinctively sensed something was off and squeaked frantically.
"Stop squeaking, or I’ll eat you right now." Wang Licui slapped its plump head.
"Licui Immortal, it’s speaking in the Demonic Clan language, meaning don’t eat me... I can redeem myself." Zhang Huaibing, standing nearby, recognized the meaning and translated it for her.
"Huh?" Wang Licui gave Zhang Huaibing a once-over, her gaze suspicious, "You even know the Demonic Clan language, are you perhaps a spy for the Demonic Clan?"
"Spy you..."
Zhang Huaibing, almost cursing out of anger, flicked his sword sleeve in realization, standing with arms behind his back and said proudly: "For us disciples of the Immortal Palace, especially the outstanding ones, learning the Demonic Clan language is a required course. After all, we eventually have to deal with the Demonic Clan on the outland battlefield; without understanding the language, how can we gather intelligence?"
"Is that so?" Wang Licui eyed him skeptically and turned to look at Wang Yingxuan.
