Chapter 1487: Emergence!
After leaving a considerable number of [Kaya Seals] around the cave, enveloping the surroundings, Jason walked leisurely towards the depths of Section 30.
According to the previous description by Lauren Delder, he soon saw what seemed like a boundary marker in the form of a road sign.
Towering as tall as a person, the front looked like a door panel, while from the side, its thickness gave an impression of sturdiness.
It was inscribed with “1KM” using luminous dye.
In the dim visibility, the faint glow was remarkably conspicuous.
"More sturdy than I imagined.”
After inspecting the sign, Jason noticed numerous fine scratches on it.
Some were small, others were large.
Clearly, more than one ‘monster’ had taken a shot at the road sign.
Yet none of the ‘monsters’ had managed to render the sign useless."Not only was the road sign set up, but it was made so robust…”
The speculation in Jason’s mind became increasingly clear.
Section 30.
Or rather the ‘post-war’ Section 30.
Had already become a buffer zone.
A buffer zone meant to ‘check’ the invasion speed of those ‘monsters’ at any time.
Thinking of this, Jason continued to step forward.
This time, he had only walked about fifty meters.
Whoosh!
A faint whistling sound rang from behind Jason’s head.
Jason tilted his head slightly, and a barbed, mucus-coated tongue shot past.
Then that barbed, mucus-covered tongue was about to coil around Jason’s neck.
However, Jason was faster.
He grabbed the tongue.
Whoosh!
As flames rose, Jason gave a strong tug.
A monster the size of a millstone was yanked out from the ground.
The monster before his eyes made even the monster-familiar Jason frown.
Because…
It was too ugly!
Its body was like a toad’s, with a head pieced together from a goat and a spider, sharp horns on its head, and boar-like steel bristles on its back.
However, for Jason, beauty or ugliness wasn’t the issue.
What he cared about was whether it was tasty.
Judging by the smell he detected.
It should be not bad.
Whoosh!
The flames in his hand hadn’t dissipated yet when another hand sprayed a conical wave of flames.
The monster was instantly roasted.
A master-level [Charles Burning Technique] had tactical-grade power.
Moreover, it needed no preparation, and could be unleashed at will.
It was really convenient for dealing with this level of foodstuffs.
With a broad-bladed, short-handled knife, Jason gutted the food, removed its head, and performed another ‘high-temperature disinfection’.
A rich aroma of meat emerged.
The finest ingredients often need only the simplest cooking method!
To Jason, whose culinary skills were zero, this was a wise saying.
He genuinely wanted to learn cooking.
He truly wished to learn.
He even fantasized more than once about achieving mastery in cooking, preparing each dish to be so appetizing that it was mouth-watering at first sight.
But,
He had no time.
Whether in the instance world or in the ‘Nightless City’.
Increasing his strength was the most pressing issue to resolve.
Perhaps only once the real crisis was over would he have the time to delve into the culinary arts?
Thinking this, Jason took out some coarse salt, cumin, and chili powder, sprinkling them on the roasted meat.
Then, opening his mouth.
The millstone-sized roasted meat was swallowed by Jason.
[Devoured a low-level minion monster]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries moderately recovered!]
[Satiation +3]
[Satiation: 27714]
…
Noticing the text appearing before him, Jason’s eyes lit up.
3 points of satiety wasn’t much for Jason at the moment.
However, the monster’s name truly intrigued Jason.
Low-level, minion.
These words were full of disdain, as if worthless, but from another perspective, it was full of a sense of enormous quantities.
Only what’s worthless is most abundant.
And accumulating bit by bit, Jason didn’t mind at all.
Especially when this quantity exceeded imagination but wouldn’t crush him.
The grease on his hands, already clean from licking.
Jason walked on, sniffing the air.
Hundreds and thousands of ‘foods’ were approaching.
He couldn’t help but grin, from ear to ear, revealing sharp, pointed teeth.
"Indeed, when taking a stroll, it’s best to choose the ‘outdoors’!”
"After all, during an outing, ‘food’ is most plentiful!”
Jason said softly, as his stomach let out a series of roars.
Hungry!
Hungry! Hungry!
The roaring sound was getting louder and louder.
In the end, it was like thunder.
In Jason’s eyes, substantial beams of light shot forth.
In the next moment!
He disappeared from where he stood!
Those ‘monsters’ hastily driven by the firelight froze, as though encountering a natural enemy, but their low intelligence prevented them from discerning this.
They were merely driven by instinct to chase prey.
Just like usual.
After all, compared to feeding on each other.
Prey has always been tastier.
It’s not just about the taste.
It can also make them stronger.
Thus, the strange feeling rising from deep within was quickly dismissed by them.
They began to swarm towards the place where the flames appeared.
On this wilderness, those monsters were like surging tides.
And then…
They fell into a mouth.
The mouth was connected to a bottomless stomach.
Like the tide, the approaching monsters were unable to raise even a ripple.
Every time the flames flickered.
