149: Chapter 149 Finally, we get to eat spicy food!

By the time An Ke returned to the Camp, he had already harvested quite a few good things.

Among them, the one he was most satisfied with was the chili peppers.

He was the type of person who couldn't live without spice.

Since transmigrating to Blue Star, An Ke hadn't tasted anything spicy.

This had made him incredibly uncomfortable.

Now that he had chili peppers, he could finally truly enjoy a delicacy that satisfied his taste buds.

After the chili peppers, the next were the watercress and blue-staining mushrooms.

For this meal, An Ke planned to be the head chef himself!!

He wanted to make himself the most delicious meal he'd had in days!!

He used a ceramic vessel to scoop water directly from the stream, then started a fire to boil it.

While waiting for the water to boil, An Ke set up a roasting slab on the side.

Then An Ke took out a piece of pork and rendered the lard from it on the slab.

Once there was enough oil on the slab, he placed the chopped chili peppers on it and mixed them thoroughly with the lard.

As An Ke stirred, his saliva couldn't stop flowing.

The spicy aroma was already coming out.

The scent rushed from his nose straight to his head, making him feel his soul tremble.

He took a deep breath and then said excitedly, "So potent!!"

Perhaps only those who love spicy food can understand what it feels like to go without it for more than half a year.

And what it feels like to eat chili peppers again after more than half a year.

King Kong, Little Scar, and the rest of the animals all curiously gathered around to watch, wanting to see what kind of flavor this food that made An Ke so excited actually had.

As everyone knows, spiciness is a sensation of pain.

As soon as Little Scar and the others got close, their eyes suffered an "attack."

They fled in panic and went to the stream to wash their faces.

While washing their faces, they exclaimed in shock:

"The Great King is truly the Great King; he even dares to eat this kind of thing."

Little Scar and the others now knew what this thing was, and they also knew it wasn't edible.

Once eaten, not only would the mouth be unable to take it, but the aftermath would make them doubt their very existence as monkeys.

Once, a monkey from their tribe had accidentally eaten this kind of vegetable.

The scene at that time could be described as heart-wrenching.

That tribesman screamed in agony, with snot and tears flowing, while frantically scratching his whole body.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he jumped directly into the river and drowned.

At this moment, King Kong also flapped his wings and flew over, then plunged his head into the water.

While washing his eyes, he shouted loudly, "It grew up looking like that, yet it still couldn't escape the fate of being eaten."

"Tewwifying, tewwifying!"

On the other side, Tiger Mom, Leopard Mom, and the Old Crocodile Couple had long since slipped far away.

They couldn't stand the pungent smell at all.

They stood on the periphery, watching An Ke cook in the Camp from a distance.

He looked ordinary enough, but in the eyes of these animals, he seemed like a demon.

King Kong was absolutely right.

They specifically make the animals that eat them feel pain just to avoid being eaten, yet they still can't escape the fate of being eaten?

Humans are truly terrifying!

Master (Benefactor/Boss) is truly... a devil!

However, An Ke turned a deaf ear to all this; right now, he only had eyes for the delicious food.

Once the spicy aroma was released from the stir-fry, he immediately added the blue-staining mushrooms.

He stir-fried them together with the chili peppers.

Fire not big enough? Then add more firewood.

Originally, An Ke wanted to charcoal-grill them, but after harvesting the chili peppers, he immediately dropped that idea.

While stir-frying, the water also began to boil.

An Ke decisively put the cleaned pork kidneys in, then waited a moment before adding the watercress.

The spicy aroma and delicious scent mingled in the air.

Inside the live broadcast room, the audience was already watching with eager anticipation.

The younger generation had little concept of gourmet delicacies.

However, those middle-aged people over fifty were already salivating uncontrollably.

"watercress and pork kidney soup..."

"Stir-fried blue-staining mushrooms..."

"Damn! What kind of divine life is this?"

"Not watching anymore! I'm out!"

"I'm out too, this is no fun!"

"..."

In the originally bustling live broadcast room, many people actually logged out, which was unprecedented.

It was truly helpless! What else could they do when they got hungry from watching?

In the past, if you got hungry watching short videos, you could order takeout.

What could they order in this era?

Order nutritional reagents?

That stuff tastes awful.

At this moment, everyone wished they could crawl inside and snatch An Ke's food.

This was the first time An Ke had drawn so much resentment.

In the live broadcast, wisps of cooking smoke rose.

The stir-fried blue-staining mushrooms and the watercress pork kidney soup were finished.

An Ke couldn't wait and began to taste them.

He didn't care at all if the blue-staining mushrooms were fully cooked and just downed them.

Delicious! A texture fresher than any meat exploded in his mouth.

Then there was the watercress pork kidney soup.

A mouthful of vegetables, a mouthful of soup; An Ke ate this meal leisurely and with great satisfaction.

"I must find other seasonings!!"

An Ke swore he would find all the garlic, onions, and ginger.

To have an even more perfect meal!!

"Gulp, gulp!"

An Ke drank all the soup base directly.

Just as he let out a soul-stirring "Ah~~!", a sudden change occurred.

The giant python let out a warning "hiss hiss hiss."

"Boss, there's a situation!!"

At the same time, An Ke's [Spider Sense] was also triggered.

This time it was at the highest level!!

This meant an enemy was already lunging at him to attack.

"So fast?"

"What is it this time? Could it be that Giant Centipede again?"

While An Ke's mind raced, his body also suddenly leaped up.

Just as he got up, a Giant Centipede emerged from the spot where he had been sitting to attack.

But this time the attack missed.

And An Ke, leaping into mid-air, had a brief eye-contact with the Giant Centipede.

But after the Giant Centipede's attack failed, it immediately tried to burrow into the ground.

An Ke was furious; he had just finished enjoying a delicious meal and hadn't even had time to savor the aftertaste before being disturbed?

"You think you can just come and go as you please?"

An Ke no longer hesitated and immediately used Double Jump.

In mid-air, he exerted force through his feet, stepping heavily on the ground before leaping out again.

He dove toward that Giant Centipede.

An Ke wasn't attacking; he wanted to grab the Giant Centipede's body.

However, when he reached it, the opponent had already burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

It was too fast!

An Ke's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately ordered the other animals:

"Those with weak combat strength, leave the ground immediately."

Fortunately, there were many boulders nearby that could provide a safe zone for the animals with little combat power.

The Old Crocodile Couple, the giant python, Tiger Mom, and Leopard Mom immediately mobilized.

They escorted the other animals to the top of the boulders.

During this time, another Giant Centipede launched an attack.

The target was the Little Wild Leopard!!

Leopard Mom immediately roared, protecting her child regardless of her own safety.

"I've been waiting for you!"

At this moment, the sound of An Ke's teeth grinding came through.

He actively activated [Natural Affinity].

Before, the level of [Natural Affinity] wasn't high enough to affect the Old Crocodile.

But with An Ke actively activating it, even the Old Crocodile would still be affected for a brief moment...

[Natural Affinity] was released.

The body of the Giant Centipede attacking the Little Wild Leopard immediately stiffened.

However, it quickly returned to normal and continued its attack on the Little Wild Leopard.

But by this time, An Ke's axe had already fallen.

What he needed was just that brief moment of stiffness!!
