Chapter 132 - Eating A Miss Huang In One Go (1/2)

When Hanming’s injuries were all healed, he was summoned from Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, moving about energetically. Zhang Che immediately issued Hanming his first mission: catch a few big fish from the lake.

There were ordinary birds, insects, and animals in the beast world, too, but due to the exotic beasts hunting them without restraint, their amounts were on the smaller side.

However, seeing as the mountain they were on was surrounded by water on all sides, even if there weren’t many fish, there would be enough for them.

“I wonder what the fish in the beast world taste like. I hope the fishy smell isn’t too strong. With the little bit of spices we have here, they’ll be inedible if I can’t get rid of the smell.”

While waiting for the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s return, Zhang Che started building a bonfire in an open space.

The bonfire slowly burned brighter. Zhang Che went to chop some tree branches and built a rack, hanging his soaked clothes out to dry them.

Fortunately, Zhang Che had kept the spices and dry rations in the vacuum packaging. Otherwise, not only would he have no dinner tonight, he wouldn’t even have spices for roasting meat.

“I wonder if there’s space-attributed exotic beasts. It’s really troublesome not having a place to store things…”

In novels, weren’t spatial storage accessories a must-have item for the main character? Why hadn’t he even seen the shadow of one after coming here for so long?

While he was cursing inwardly, the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon returned, riding on a cloud of mist. His claws were holding two big fish, each about half a meter long. They resembled the freshwater fish found on Mercury; who knew what they tasted like?

There was no spring water on the mountain, and it was even more impossible for there to be a creek. Zhang Che could only get the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon working again, having him hold onto the fish with his claws and make a trip with Zhang Che to the mountainside, gutting and cleaning the fish using the clear lake water.

“Hmm? There’s not much fishy smell on them!” What surprised Zhang Che was that the fish found here only had a very mild fishy smell. His hands were bloodied after gutting the fish. Despite that, he didn’t notice much of an odor. There was basically no foul smell after adding some spices onto them and roasting them over the fire.

The night sky had turned fully dark by the time the two big fish hanging over the fire were fully cooked. Waves upon waves of tempting fragrance spread out, drawing Zhang Che into digging in.

He wasn’t afraid of the heat, tearing a piece off and putting it in his mouth. His eyes lit up at the taste.

“As expected of an all-natural, unpolluted environment! It tastes heavenly!” Zhang Che praised. Then, he noticed that two pairs of shining eyes were staring at him from the side. He glanced over, and, well, not only was the Gluttony Monkey drooling and looking at him with a face full of anticipation, even the Cold Abyss Flood Dragon’s mouth was open, his eyes filled with great desire.

“You’re gluttons, all of you!” Zhang Che sighed, shaking his head. He tore off a piece of roasted fish that was big enough to fill his stomach and gave the rest to his salivating pets.

However, after Zhang Che finished his piece of roasted fish that weighed a few kilograms, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Before he started eating the fish, he was only feeling a little hungry, but it was still manageable. However, when he finished his share, not only did he not feel full, he felt even hungrier than before, to the point that it was unbearable, as if he had starved for three full days.

“Is this for real? Did my appetite increase after being altered by the demonic flower?” Zhang Che suddenly realized. It seemed logical. If he didn’t eat more, where would his herculean strength come from?

Feeling the unbearable hunger, Zhang Che shifted his gaze to the frisky monkey and Cold Abyss Flood Dragon. However, he discovered that these two gluttons had already finished their roasted fish and were looking at him as well.

“Alright, looks like we have to continue roasting fish tonight!” Zhang Che curled his lips. He directly brought his pets down to the watery area at the foot of the mountain. The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was very self-aware and plunged into the water on his own initiative, leaving the two others watching by the shore.

The Cold Abyss Flood Dragon was a hegemon-like existence in these watery areas. It didn’t take much effort for him to catch a few more, returning to the surface after only a short while and tossing two big fish to Zhang Che, before diving back into the water.
