Chapter 231 - 231 10 Gains Along the Way【2 in 1】_3

Chapter 231: Chapter 10: Gains Along the Way【2 in 1】_3 Chapter 231: Chapter 10: Gains Along the Way【2 in 1】_3 Feng Yin’s mind was deep in thought. He couldn’t help but recall the culinary experiences of a certain protagonist in a novel written by a certain master in his previous life, especially the scenes involving tender, snowy-white centipede meat. This was enough to confirm that the contents of the novel were not mere fiction, and he too, felt his mouth watering in anticipation.

Considering this, he did not stop Feng Ying’s hunting spree.

Feng Ying moved with lightning speed. In just a short time after Feng Yin and the others had proceeded, Feng Ying had caught up with them, dragging about a dozen large centipedes. The shortest of these was no less than two feet.

Zhu Weiran gratefully accepted them and began to handle them, then Feng Ying did not rest, but dashed forward again.

It seemed that the large centipedes in the rear had already been almost completely seized by her.

“Kid Feng, these are Seven-Star Centipedes. They are not considered rare, but we seldom see them in normal times. It turns out that this place is a habitat where they gather throughout the year.”

Zhu Weiran looked at the confused Feng Yin and explained, “Although this centipede is among the five poisonous species, as long as it’s cleaned thoroughly and cooked properly, it’s an unparalleled delicacy. Moreover, legend has it that consuming it frequently can make one immune to all kinds of poison.”

“Is it that amazing?”

Feng Yin’s eyes immediately lit up, “How much do we need to consume? Is there a certain standard?”

“Ahem.”

Zhu Weiran felt awkward and did not speak for a while.

Hu Lengyue rolled his eyes to one side. “It’s just a widely spread rumor. Despite it’s popularity, no one has really consumed it to the point of developing immunity to all poisons. I think it’s just an absurd justification made up by foodies.”

Feng Yin: “…”

At this moment, he suddenly thought of all the so-called health foods back on the Blue Star….

It turns out that it’s not something unusual in this continent of Anping but just a variation in terms and ingredients.

“Possessing immunity to all kinds of poison may be over-exaggerated, but this thing really is good medicine. For boils caused by poison, or for children with carbuncles, consuming a bit of this centipede meat would heal them by the next day. Or if you smear a bit of the meat on the affected area, the poison often breaks through the skin and drains out.”

Hu Lengyue nodded in agreement: “That’s true. Five poison creatures generally do have resistance against various toxins. As a food ingredient, it is not only delicious but also highly beneficial. Even a surplus would never be considered too much.”

“However, these Seven-Star Centipedes move incredibly fast and will burrow into the ground at the slightest disturbance, making them very hard for humans to catch. This time, encountering Feng Ying is truly a blessing in disguise.”

Zhuang Weiran was also filled with anticipation and admiration.

“It is said that the Seven-Star Centipede, though it can’t completely cure the Seven Yin Poison in our bodies, can at least suppress it to some extent. But I don’t know how much we need to eat to suppress it.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yin’s interest grew even stronger.

The trio moved swiftly and in less than two quarters of an hour, they had already left hundreds of miles of mountain trails behind them, not only entering the boundary of Huangfeng Ridge but also delving more than halfway into it.

During this traveling time, Feng Ying tirelessly had caught hundreds of large centipedes.

The largest one was as thick as an arm and more than two meters long, looking ferocious and terrifying.

These centipedes would not only suffice for a meal, the three people and the cat could have more than enough for ten meals.

But Feng Ying, still in high spirits, wouldn’t stop. And Feng Yin also felt that this hunting could help Feng Ying improve her combat power, and it would also be effective against the Seven Yin Poison of Zhuang Weiran and company …

Since Feng Ying was overjoyed with the hunt, Feng Yin let her have her way, expressing satisfaction with the outcome.

However, the experienced Zhu Weiran slowly began to feel an unease.

As time passed, Feng Ying had captured several centipedes as thick as an arm, and each one was larger than the last.

“This place might not just be a dwelling of Seven-Star Centipedes, could there be a King Centipede lurking here as well?” Zhu Weiran, scratching his head, wondered out loud.

Zhuang Weiran’s speculation was not without reason. The fact that Feng Ying could capture so many centipedes in such a short period not only attested to his outstanding abilities but also hinted at the abundant number of centipedes in this area!

Theoretically, this wilderness and desolate mountain were rarely visited by humans, whether they were collecting firewood, chopping trees, or hunting. So even if there was a King Centipede or Snake King lurking, it didn’t seem remarkable.

However, it seemed as if reality was confirming Zhuang Weiran’s speculation. On their way down the mountain after crossing the peak…

Feng Ying let out a yelp and forcefully dragged out an exceptionally large centipede from a cave.

The sharp claws all over this huge centipede had already been scattered by Feng Ying’s intensive blade attack. However, its body remained intact. Obviously, Feng Ying’s skill with his blade attack had grown more adept and targeted, resulting in this victory.

This enormous centipede measured over a meter in diameter and tens of meters in length. A victorious Feng Ying yelled with an unconnected series of sounds, his beard stained with the blue blood of the centipede, and his little paw heartbeat pointing towards the cave: “Eek eek…”

He was clearly saying that there were still plenty of delicious meals inside!

Zhu Weiran had to go in and clean up. After all, more centipedes meant more food storage for the little guy, but also a bonus for everyone else.

As Hu Lengyue said, these creatures, with their exceptional taste, were welcomed in abundance. The more, the better, since they would never be considered excessive!

Maybe they could even alleviate the poison of Seven Yin, which would be a joyous surprise.

But when Zhuang Weiran went in and saw the scene, he felt a chill run down his spine.

All he could see were countless centipedes, as thick as his thighs, writhing around the cave. Some seemed thicker than his waist. However they all had one thing in common – they were all beheaded and decapitated, their remaining bodies twisting and writhing.

Feng Ying had skillfully killed every single centipede in the cave, leaving none behind. When piled together, it was like a Centipede Mountain.

“This little guy is really ferocious.”

Zhu Weiran felt a headache coming on. Even if these were precious resources, there were too many. How were they going to transport all of this?

It was a troublesome task indeed when there were too many good things to handle!

Seeing Zhu Weiran come in, Feng Ying gesticulated wildly, obviously instructing him to immediately strip the skin and save the meat while the little guy handled the rest.

Zhu Weiran naturally complied. Although there were many centipedes, Zhuang Weiran moved quickly with his blade, expertly dissecting the bodies and piling up the meat in mounds that resembled small hills.

Feng Ying sauntered over leisurely, swiped his small paw and effortlessly made all the prepared centipede meat vanish into thin air.

Zhu Weiran’s jaw almost dropped to the floor. He was well aware of what a Space Ring was but… “How big must the space be within that ring? It could contain so much centipede meat, how is that even…”

He then turned to Feng Yin to complain: “Kid Feng, aren’t you being overly generous? These Space Rings are scarce throughout the continent, and you just gave one to this creature?”

Feng Yin could only shrug, replying: “Uncle Zhuang, you overestimate me a bit. It’s not like I’m hoarding a collection of these magical rings. The little guy found this ring by a lucky coincidence.”

This response left Zhu Weiran stunned, as he said: “I didn’t expect this little guy to have such good fortune, it’s almost unbelievable.”

Hu Lengyue’s voice came from outside: “This giant centipede is really the King Centipede. It had Centipede Beads inside its body.”

Zhu Weiran rushed out excitedly: “How many?”
