526: Chapter 526 Tempting the Gluttonous Beast

Chen Yi narrowed his eyes.

He was not sure what exactly the Mermaid Queen knew.

Holding a "let's try it out" attitude, Chen Yi asked: "Yes, we still have the Origin of the Taotie and Baize remaining. I wonder if you, Queen, know anything about them---"

The woman heard this and fell silent for a few seconds.

"The Origin of these two clans is the hardest to find!"

"The Baize clan, because they possess the power to foresee the future, will avoid anyone who seeks them!"

"For any being harboring ulterior motives against them, finding them is almost impossible!"

"And the Taotie---the Taotie is an ancient Vicious Beast, already extremely rare! They do not live in groups; they have always been solitary and their whereabouts are uncertain!"

"Here, the last recorded sighting of a Taotie was three thousand years ago!"

Chen Yi frowned: "Three thousand years ago? Seriously? Then how are we supposed to find it?"

The woman said: "Although I cannot tell you the exact location of the Taotie, I can give you a clue!"

"The Taotie is gluttonous, and its sense of smell is extremely keen; it can smell the aroma of food from a million miles away."

"If you can find food that is delicious enough and place it in a location where a Taotie might appear---"

"Perhaps, you can lure it out."

Chen Yi was stunned.

Lure a Taotie with gourmet food?

Seriously, is that how ancient Vicious Beasts play?

He looked at Emilia.

Emilia spread her hands: "Don't look at me, I don't know how to cook!"

Chen Yi rolled his eyes.

Seriously, sister?

Over eight thousand years, and you didn't even learn any cooking skills---

"Looks like I have to use the ultimate weapon!"

Emilia was stunned for a moment: "What ultimate weapon?"

Chen Yi's mouth curled up slightly: "Of course, it's Liuli~~~"

---

After leaving the Sea of Origin, the two flew towards the location where the Taotie was last sighted.

That was a wasteland to the northeast of the Void Realm, named the Wasteland of Annihilation.

It is said that three thousand years ago, someone saw traces of a Taotie there!

Chen Yi found a quiet place and sat down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the thread connecting to Hua Liuli.

With a thought, pale golden light surged from his body!

"System, summon Hua Liuli's Clone projection!"

[Ding! Consumed 100 Enhancement Points, summoning successful!]

The light grew brighter and stronger!

Finally, a figure slowly condensed in front of him!

Hua Liuli appeared before him!

At this moment, she was wearing a pink casual dress, her long black hair draped behind her, and her small face was full of confusion.

"Chen Yi?"

She looked around, then looked at herself, "Where is---this? Why am I here?"

"The Void Realm!"

He stepped forward and ruffled Hua Liuli's hair, "Liuli, did you miss me?"

Hearing this, Hua Liuli's face instantly turned red.

She didn't even care to ask about the current situation.

"I did!"

She said softly, "I missed you every day---"

Emilia was also stunned.

Good grief, he can really summon their projections at any time?

Chen Yi smiled and briefly explained the situation.

After hearing it, Hua Liuli's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Lure a Taotie with food? I'm good at this!"

"You don't know, Tao Tao loves the dishes I make!"

"Since the inheritor of the Taotie Bloodline likes it, I think the original body will definitely like it too!"

"As long as I bring out my best skills, it will definitely take the bait!"

In terms of cooking, Su Taotao is actually the best.

And Su Taotao also has the Taotie Bloodline; she might even have a certain ability to sense the Taotie's original body.

But the problem is, without collecting the Spirit Beast Origin of the Taotie, using the Void Realm's secret technique to summon her would cause great damage to Su Taotao's Soul!

Collecting the Spirit Beast Origin is important, but no matter how important it is, it cannot be at the cost of sacrificing The girls' Souls, right?

So he could only find Hua Liuli, who is the second best at cooking!

Chen Yi looked at Hua Liuli's confident appearance and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you!"

---

Soon, Hua Liuli began to get busy.

Chen Yi was still carrying the previous Crystal Palace with him; it had a kitchen, and all kinds of kitchenware and ingredients were available.

Pots, bowls, ladles, basins---

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar---

Meat, vegetables, rice, noodles---

Everything you could need!

"Tao Tao said that ever since she broke through to the Thirteenth Rank, she actually prefers eating food containing spiritual power."

"I estimate this should be related to the Taotie's power itself, requiring a large amount of spiritual power to maintain physical consumption."

"Speaking of food with high spiritual power, that would be Spirit Beast Girls---and she couldn't possibly eat them!"

"So I think the Taotie should be more or less the same!"

Chen Yi nodded, understanding Hua Liuli's meaning.

He soared into the air and searched the wasteland.

Soon, he found a solitary giant beast.

It was a huge wild boar-type Spirit Beast, with strength around the Twelfth Rank.

He waved his hand casually, and a golden light flashed.

The giant beast fell to the ground instantly.

Chen Yi carried it back to the camp.

Hua Liuli took the giant beast and began to get busy.

Cleaning the internal organs, skinning and removing hair, applying seasonings, setting up the grill, lighting the fire and starting to roast---

The whole process was smooth and fluid, completed in one go.

Chen Yi and Emilia watched from the side, both unable to help but swallow their saliva.

That aroma was truly too tempting.

Even though Chen Yi himself was very good at barbecue and no longer needed to rely on eating to replenish energy, at this moment, he felt himself uncontrollably drooling in front of the roasted Spirit Beast.

As time passed, the aroma of the roasted meat became increasingly rich.

The aroma drifted away, permeating the entire wasteland.

Chen Yi could feel a strange aura beginning to appear in the surrounding air.

"Seriously? It's here already? Is it this simple?"

He was immediately speechless!

What happened to it not being seen for three thousand years?

Damn it, it came just after I finished roasting the Spirit Beast; does it have to be this straightforward, hey!

Emilia and Hua Liuli also high-fived each other!

This Taotie, it really came!

Chen Yi clenched his fists, watching his surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, a huge black shadow descended from the sky!

The black shadow landed in front of the grill, opened its huge mouth, and intended to swallow the entire roasted beast!

Chen Yi was stunned.

Taotie!

It really is a Taotie!

It looks almost exactly the same as Su Taotao's original form!

Chen Yi was about to make a move, but Hua Liuli took a step ahead and picked up the entire roasted beast.

"Want to eat?"

The Taotie's eyes were locked on that piece of meat.

However, realizing that its strength seemed inferior to Chen Yi, who was beside Hua Liuli, it dared not make too many moves.

After a long while, it nodded.

"Then you have to promise me one thing."

Hua Liuli continued to add.

The Taotie looked at her, then glanced at Chen Yi, a trace of vigilance flashing in its eyes.

But in the end, it still nodded.

It wanted to eat it too much!

This thing was just too fragrant!

How on earth can someone make something this fragrant!

Men die for wealth and birds die for food, and the Taotie bows for a whole roasted beast!
