150: Food Festival is Coming!
Without the slightest hesitation, the group immediately sped toward the Legal Mammoth at full speed.
"Idiots! Did I give you permission to leave? All of you, die here!" The giant gt robot roared, its massive maw opening as energy gathered frantically inside, brewing a devastating strike.
Coco's gaze turned cold. He let out a clear whistle and shouted, "Kiss!"
"Caw—!"
The Emperor Crow understood immediately, letting out a piercing cry as it dove from high above like black lightning, its speed astonishing! Its massive wings, like sharp blades, slashed fiercely at the robot's ankle joint.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
The giant gt robot felt a massive force strike its feet, instantly losing its balance and crashing forward.
The energy cannon, which had been ready to fire in its maw, also spiraled out of control at that moment—
BOOM!!!
The searing beam of light blasted diagonally into the ground, a deafening roar shaking the earth as the ground collapsed, sending dust and rubble surging into the sky like a raging tide.
Coco stood at the edge of the dust, his expression not relaxing in the slightest. Purple Aura rose around him, lifting his Aura to its Peak; he was ready for a fight to the death.
He knew his opponent was powerful; winning would be no easy task, and the slightest carelessness could cost him his life.
The dust gradually settled.
The giant gt robot wobbled as it stood back up, its face scorched black, the metal casing and biomimetic hair on the back of its head melted and twisted, looking quite disheveled.
"You bastard... I won't let you die easily!" It emitted a garbled electronic roar.
Coco sneered, the gaze behind his lenses cold and sharp: "Are you saying that to yourself? I can clearly see... your death face."
"Death face?!" The giant gt robot acted as if it had heard an absurd joke. "Are you sleeping and talking nonsense? Talking about a death face to a robot? That's utterly ridiculous!" Its eyes were full of mockery as it looked at Coco.
Coco's mouth curved slightly, his tone firm and decisive: "No... what I see is the death face of the operator. Precisely because this machine's performance is so high, and its neural connection to the operator is extremely tight, that... 'scent' of the dead has already been clearly transmitted to me."
"Fool! I don't have time to waste words with you, die!" The giant gt robot was thoroughly enraged. It stopped talking and launched a fierce attack...
On the other side.
Lin Luo and the other four had arrived beneath the mountain-like body of the Legal Mammoth.
Thanks to the neurotoxin Coco had released earlier, this behemoth was temporarily paralyzed, sitting stiffly in place.
But how to enter its body had become a problem.
Toriko scratched his head and said, "Looks like there's no other way; we'll have to go in through the 'back door'."
"Huh?! Absolutely not!" Sunny immediately screamed, his face full of disgust. "I'd rather die than go in through such a disgusting place! I'd rather go back right now!"
Lin Luo frowned deeply: "Then the only option left is to enter through the mouth."
He tried to launch an energy attack, which landed on the Mammoth's thick fur, but it didn't even cut a single hair. Trying to rely on brute force to punch through its body to get inside was clearly not going to work.
Toriko thought entering through the mouth was too risky—the Legal Mammoth not only had two massive tusks reaching for the sky, but its mouth was also dense with sharp teeth, not to mention the terrifying trunk that could instantly reduce living creatures to skeletons. He still leaned towards the "safer" rear entrance.
Sunny firmly opposed it, and they couldn't agree. Lin Luo also didn't want to choose that path.
His eyes narrowed, and the gourmet cells energy within him surged, rapidly condensing in the Void Realm—it actually manifested as a massive energy frying pan! This was a Move he had imitated from Director Mansam, constructed from pure energy.
"CLANG—!"
With a dull, loud thud, the energy frying pan slammed solidly onto the Legal Mammoth's face. Although it didn't cause any real damage, it was enough to enrage the behemoth.
ROAR—!!!
Provoked by a tiny ant, the Legal Mammoth's anger was instantly ignited! Its massive nostrils suddenly expanded, creating an irresistible, terrifying suction force!
Lin Luo, who bore the brunt of it, along with the caught-off-guard Toriko, Sunny, Komatsu, Tina, and Rin, were all swept up by the violent airflow, flying helplessly toward those abyss-like nostrils!
Rushing into the trunk, the surrounding flesh walls were covered in hideous bone spurs like sharp teeth, making one's scalp tingle. "Toriko! Sunny! Attack the weak point together!" Lin Luo shouted.
The three of them had perfect chemistry, almost simultaneously blasting their power toward a relatively soft patch of flesh inside the nose!
"MOOOOO—!" The Legal Mammoth felt the pain, its giant trunk instinctively flinging the "foreign objects" it had inhaled toward its own open mouth!
Pfft!
The group was ejected like cannonballs, shooting straight toward the giant mouth filled with stark white teeth!
"Tina!" Lin Luo grabbed the nearby Tina in mid-air, while urgently shouting to Sunny: "Hair Net! Grab Toriko and the others!"
Sunny didn't dare to delay; his gorgeous hair shot out, precisely wrapping around Toriko, Komatsu, and Rin. Lin Luo, enduring his discomfort, once again channeled his Divine Sense, transforming it into an invisible giant hand that tightly gripped Sunny.
The Mammoth's giant teeth were closing rapidly, and the shadow of death loomed over them. Veins popped on Lin Luo's forehead, his mental energy consuming frantically, until finally, in the last instant before the teeth snapped shut, he dragged everyone away from danger, plummeting into the endless dark abyss below!
Plop!
The group tumbled down the slippery esophagus, finally falling into an unimaginably huge space—the Legal Mammoth's stomach. It didn't look like biological organs at all, but rather like a strange underground world, and there was a faint light inside that allowed people to see their surroundings.
"Sunny, couldn't you have used your hair to make a cushion? Seriously... Hmm?" Toriko was about to complain when he suddenly sensed something. His sharp gaze swept forward—he saw a gt robot with a mohawk hairstyle standing there. Toriko's nerves instantly tightened.
Sunny and Rin immediately entered a state of alert.
"Hmm?" The mohawk gt robot also noticed them, seeming a bit confused as it moved. "Oh my, the inside is like a maze; did I unknowingly loop back to near the entrance?"
The one controlling this robot was none other than Sedoru from the Gourmet Association, who had a perverted hobby of collecting biological eyeballs.
So this guy... was lost!
The moment he sensed the opponent, Sunny's Hair Net had already quietly spread out, binding him tightly. He said in a serious tone to Lin Luo and the others: "Leave this to me, you go first!"
Toriko understood Sunny's determination and nodded heavily: "Everyone, let's go!"
The robot, tied tightly by the Hair Net, could only watch them leave, struggling with difficulty: "Alright, they've all left, you should let me go now, right? If I use brute force to cut these hairs, you'll be in unbearable pain, won't you?"
"Hey, kid," the mohawk robot's mechanical eyes suddenly focused on Sunny's face, speaking in a hair-raising tone, "Your eyes... are also quite pretty, worth collecting." As it spoke, it actually began to show Sunny its "collection"—a pile of eyeballs soaking in solution, still maintaining their vitality, some pupils even still slightly contracting!
"Ugh—! So disgusting!" Sunny almost threw up after just one look, his face full of horror and disgust. "Bastard! Go to hell!" He was thoroughly enraged by this perverted hobby.
The passages inside the Legal Mammoth were intricate, like a giant maze. If one took a wrong turn, they would likely loop back to the same place, just like that gt robot earlier. Fortunately, with the guidance of Toriko's exceptionally sensitive nose, they could at least avoid repeating the same mistakes.
At this moment, Toriko and Lin Luo both looked unwell. Because Toriko had chosen the most dangerous route earlier, the successive fierce battles had already exhausted his physical strength, and the energy stored in his body was almost bottomed out; he was panting heavily every few steps. Lin Luo, due to the excessive consumption of his Divine Sense, felt waves of stinging, throbbing pain in his brain, his face pale.
Komatsu looked at the two men's low state with worry.
However, before Toriko and Lin Luo could collapse, Tina couldn't hold on any longer. Her stomach was growling with hunger—after all, she hadn't really eaten the emergency rations prepared by Director Mansam. "Lin Luo... I can't walk anymore."
"Didn't you say you were fully prepared? Are you relying on me now?" Lin Luo sighed with a headache, regretting a bit that he had brought this "burden" along. But he resignedly squatted down. "I will repay you..." Tina said, somewhat embarrassed as she climbed onto his back.
Rin, standing on the side, watched Tina being able to rely on Lin Luo so "naturally," and couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in her eyes. She also wanted to be that close to Toriko, but Toriko's own state was worrying right now. If he didn't get food replenishment soon, Toriko might really collapse.
Lin Luo carried Tina on his back, suddenly noticing something amiss, his expression stern: "Toriko, something's wrong. The stomach wall is contracting."
Toriko stopped, sniffed hard, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The sour smell in the air has thickened... The stomach is starting to secrete a large amount of digestive enzymes. The Legal Mammoth is very 'nervous' right now, just like... it's realized a deadly virus has invaded its body and is having a violent rejection reaction." Accompanied by the dull rumble of the stomach wall contracting, Toriko furrowed his brows, "It wants to expel all the 'foreign objects' inside its body!"
"We must speed up!" Lin Luo felt that things were looking bad.
"I can already smell the scent of the jewel meat! It's right ahead!" Toriko perked up, pointing in a direction.
However, just at this moment—
BOOM!
The flesh wall to the side was suddenly blasted open, creating a large hole with immense force! Amidst the swirling dust, a completely pitch-black gt robot walked out slowly from the hole with heavy steps, blocking the group's path.
At this very moment, Toriko's face changed drastically, and every hair on his body stood on end. A cold pressure crushed down like a mountain, making him almost suffocate—and the opponent was, shockingly, already behind Komatsu!
"Komatsu! Get back!" Toriko roared, horrified. The ominous premonition that had been lingering in his heart had turned into the most sinister reality right around the corner.
The palpable, malicious Aura emanating from the opponent was exactly the same as that guy they had encountered on the cave beach earlier. Only, he had changed bodies—the oppressive feeling from the black gt robot in front of them was many times stronger than before!
Almost the instant the black robot appeared, Lin Luo sensed trouble. The Divine Sense he tried to probe with was blocked dead by the thick, viscous layer of Gourmet Devil Aura outside the opponent's machine body, as if it had hit an invisible wall. With his thoughts racing, he immediately transmitted to Toriko: "My methods have been blocked! We have to fight it head-on!"
Learning that there was only a head-on battle left, a look of determination flashed in Toriko's eyes. He let out a violent shout, ignoring his body's exhaustion and emptiness, forcing out his last bit of strength and concentrating it all on his right fist. In the Void Realm behind him, a violent red devil shadow vaguely emerged.
"Five-Fold—Nail Punch!"
