Chapter 150: Britannia’s Delicacies

The ground had been burned into crystals.

Volcanoes were constantly erupting.

The entire world was lifeless.

A group of demon lords fearfully entered this plane world that once belonged to the abyss.

The 222nd level of the abyss, the forest of fungi.

However, it no longer deserved to be called this name.

Because the flames had scorched the entire world!

Everything in this plane had been burned to ashes.

All the high-level demons in this plane had been eaten up by something.

Only a few little demons who had gone completely mad and had their consciousness shattered barely managed to hide underground or somewhere to survive.

No one could get an answer out of them.

“What exactly happened here?” Demogorgon, the demon prince, questioned angrily.

The fungal forest was the territory of his ally, the Mrs. Fungus, Zugmoi.

Of course, he had enough reasons to be angry.

But he was destined to not get the answer.

On the ground, there were only dried-up demon corpses.

Their souls had disappeared.

It was as if they had been eaten by something!

Looking at the demons whose souls had been eaten, every demon lord felt fear and terror from the bottom of their hearts.

For countless years, only demons had hunted others.

Since when had demons become food on other people’s tables?

The fatal problem was that the enemy could come to the fungal forest.

Then, would he appear in the saltwater swamp? Would he appear in the heart of hypocrisy? Would he appear in the boiling sea?

Every demon lord had to consider the possibility.

But no one wanted their lair to be wiped out by an unknown enemy.

“What about Zugmoi?” Demogorgon suddenly thought of his ally, Mrs. Fungus Zugmoi, so he asked.

But after searching the entire fungus forest, there was no sign of the god of spores and fungi.

And her scent and existence seemed to have disappeared from the abyss.

It was as if she had completely fallen!

No!

It was worse than falling!

Zugmoi was like the former demon lords of Osiris who had completely disappeared from the abyss, completely disappeared in the Nether River.

So…

Were Zugmoi and the high-level demons in the fungus forest eaten by that thing?

Every demon lord could not help but tremble at the thought of the possibility!

Because if that was true, then would it be their turn to be eaten someday?

… … … … ..

Han Li sat in a collapsed bridge culvert.

In front of her, a copper pot was boiling.

Under the copper pot were three burning flowers.

These were the flame bloom, a strange plant that Han Li had found at the site of the collapse of the teleportation portal in Jianning County.

When she found it, there were only three flowers left.

Therefore, she knew that she only had one chance.

Soul Crystal after soul crystal was thrown into the copper pot.

Under the strength of the Flame Bloom, the Soul Crystal was broken down, and painful wails came out of the copper pot.

Now, Han Li already knew that the so-called soul crystal was the souls of those abyss demons.

Because this world was not a part of the abyss yet.

Therefore, the souls of these abyss creatures that died in this world would condense into soul crystals under special circumstances.

These soul crystals were the source of the continuous appearance of monsters and evil spirits on Earth after the apocalypse. The animals and plants on earth were contaminated after eating these soul crystals.

Then, they were distorted into monsters and evil spirits by these abyssal demons.

Under their control, the monsters and evil spirits became the vanguard of the Abyssal Demons’ invasion of the world.

In the end, the monsters and evil spirits became the carrier of the Abyss’s demons.

It was the same for the Demon Hunter.

The Abyss’s demons used this despicable plot to turn the entire earth into a breeding ground.

They made humans, monsters, and evil spirits to become each other’s sharpening stones, and also their pawns and cannon fodder.

The demons didn’t care if the humans won or the monsters won.

Because in the end, they were the only ones who won!

Han Li expressionlessly looked at the wailing in the copper pot.

Her fingers gently loosened, and a bit of powder fell into it.

That was the ashes of the Gargoyle King!

As the ashes of the Gargoyle King fell into the copper pot, a violent reaction followed!

The entire copper pot jumped up!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Han Li sneered and took out two lich brain nucleus that she had carefully selected from her body. Then, she took the spirit blade and cut her wrist. Using her blood, she carved a special symbol on both the lich brain nucleus.

The symbol had just been carved.

In the lich brain nucleus in her hand, Lich’s soul let out a sharp whistle.

“You still want to put up a desperate struggle?” Han Li sneered. “When you were alive, you weren’t my match, let alone dead.”

She threw the two brain nuclei into the copper pot.

The originally restless Copper Pot became even more restless.

That was the soul of these abyssal creatures fighting for their lives!

But Han Li didn’t care at all.

The murmurs by her ears rustled as she took out the flame demon’s pith from her bosom.

Then, she suddenly exerted strength with both hands and poured psionic power into it, causing the flame demon’s pith to drip into the copper pot drop by drop.

As the scorching flame demon’s pith dripped down.

The copper pot instantly became quiet.

Curling green smoke continuously rose.

When the flame demon’s pith in Han Li’s hand completely dripped down, the smoke in the copper pot also became thicker.

Finally, in the thick smoke, Han Li squatted down.

A slightly bright red pill was already dropped in her palm.

Han Li threw it into her mouth, and the pill was instantly swallowed into her stomach.

“I’m doing the same thing that you have done to us!” Flames ignited on Han Li’s body! Raging flames!

Her body began to become more voluptuous, enchanting, and moving!

However, the succubus characteristics that had already begun to show signs of life disappeared completely!

When the flames were extinguished, Han Li walked out of the culvert!

She raised her head and looked at the sky.

She knew that from this moment on, she already possessed the potential of a succubus overlord!

If she threw herself into the Abyss, the Nether River would immediately take care of her, allowing her to become a succubus overlord who could own an abyssal plane!

But…

How could she be willing?

Not only was she unwilling, but she also wanted to use the strength from the Abyss to take revenge on the Abyss!

And she firmly believed that she could do it.

Because behind her stood a great ruler!

Even the supreme will of the Nether River of the Abyss would probably be as lowly as an ant in front of that ruler!

“Next step!” Han Li said, “I want to exchange for the immortal wine… and that most magical spiritual item that humans have ever had, the illusory spirit mushroom!”

After the great apocalypse, a magical mushroom grew in the primeval forest of Mount Kunlun.

The mushroom was extremely poisonous before it matured.

Anyone who ate or even got close to it could be poisoned to death.

Even monsters and evil spirits were the same!

However, when it matured, it would transform into the most precious spiritual item that humans currently had, the illusionary spirit mushroom!

It was a spiritual mushroom that was between reality and illusion.

No matter what kind of injury a person suffered, as long as they had a breath left, they would immediately recover after eating it!

However, the maturity of the illusory spiritual mushroom was unpredictable.

Moreover, this kind of magical spiritual mushroom could move.

In the dense forest of Kunlun Mountain, no one knew whether they would encounter a harmless spiritual mushroom that was ripe enough to be picked or a poisonous mushroom that could instantly kill people!

No one knew where these spiritual mushrooms would appear?

Therefore, their production was extremely low!

At most, two or three stalks could be harvested by luck every year.

Therefore, its exchange condition was extremely strict!

Only those who had made a significant contribution to mankind and obtained the recognition of the United Nations Security Council would be qualified to exchange for it.

Han Li naturally knew that the great one did not care about the mere spiritual items on earth.

However…

Token of appreciation and sincerity must be present.

It did not matter whether he liked it or not!

To make him acknowledge her sincerity was the most crucial!

Because Han Li was prepared to ask the great ruler for a book that could change the tragic fate of humanity!

A book that was not only suitable for her but also suitable for the cultivation of the outstanding ones among the other humans.

A book that could raise the status of human beings, turning them from insects and lambs to people who could control their fate!

After this, Han Li had a deep understanding of that the status of human beings in the eyes of those terrifying high-level creatures.

In the eyes of the abyss, human beings were insects and livestock.

In the eyes of the essence of fire, human beings were not even insects.

They were like weeds on the roadside or rocks on the mountain.

If that status could not be changed, Han Li was very clear that no matter how hard she worked and try, the fate of this world would inevitably lead to tragic destruction!

… … … … ..

He had a good sleep.

Ling Pingan slept until the sun shone into his room from outside the window.

Only then did he get out of bed.

After a simple wash, he walked down the stairs and was ready to open the door.

However…

Ling Pingan looked at the empty bookstore entrance.

“Where’s Bastet?” He scratched his head. “Where did this little guy go?”

Thus, he shouted, “Bastet! Bastet! Little guy… Where are you?”

Meow!

A cat purr came from upstairs.

Ling Pingan immediately smiled. “When did this little guy run upstairs?”

Then, he was puzzled again. “Why did this little guy go upstairs this morning?”

With this question in mind, Ling Pingan walked upstairs.

There was no sign of her on the second floor, so he went up to the third floor.

Then, he saw the little kitten at the stairs, who heard his footsteps and was hiding something sneakily.

Ling Pingan walked up with a smile and picked up the little cutie. “Little guy, what are you hiding behind your back?”

Meow!

The little guy stuck out her tongue intimately and licked the back of Ling Pingan’s hand.

Ling Pingan laughed. “Oh! The Little Cutie has a sense of privacy!”

So, he didn’t bother with this matter.

Although it was a little strange for a kitten to suddenly hide something secretly from its owner.

But a kitten…

Was it still a kitten if it wasn’t naughty?

Even though Ling Pingan had never had a pet, he had read many pet novels!

Some people had cats that not only hid things secretly from their owner but also knew how to chase away competitors and enjoy their owners’ love!

He carried the little guy down the stairs.

Behind him, the small sapling in the plastic basin slowly opened its leaves.

The sunlight fell on the small sapling, reflecting a tiny shadow.

In the shadow, countless small mouths were wolfing down something.

And under the slow oven, two round crystals were spinning.

A small flame carefully appeared from the oven, then suddenly shot out a little flame and licked the two crystals.

As if it felt delicious, it licked them again.

Just as it was about to lick the third time, a pyramid-like thing smashed into the slow-bake oven from the air.

The small flame was a little shaky.

Only then did the flame in the slow-bake oven disappear.

… … … … … ..

Ling Pingan walked down the stairs with the kitten Bastet in his arms and opened the door.

Just as he was about to go out to buy breakfast at Aunt Cai’s place next door, he realized that Aunt Cai wasn’t open that day.

There was a notice posted at the door: The owner has some matters to attend to today. So the store will take a day off.

Ling Pingan was instantly dumbfounded.

Without Aunt Cai’s steamed dumplings and tofu pudding, what would he eat for breakfast?

Would he have to go hungry?

He scratched his head, took out his phone, and opened the take-out app. He saw a full-platform advertisement: Want to taste the delicacies of foreign countries? Do you want to taste the cooking skills of the royal chefs from the United Kingdom of Britannia? Then come!

The Rhein restaurant with the longest history in the United Kingdom of Britannia, parachuting into Jiangcheng City!

Starting from today, 50% discount for the whole city!

Ling Pingan was instantly interested.

As a foodie, he had long been determined to taste all the delicacies in the world.

But…

“The United Kingdom of Britannia?” He frowned slightly. “Isn’t that the Rotten Country?”

To be honest, Ling Pingan didn’t have much of an impression of the United Kingdom of Britannia.

The basic knowledge and understanding came from the textbook. In the history of the Federal Empire, the main opponent of the hundred-year war was this country.

Of course, they would occasionally beat up the federal kingdom or beat up the invincible fleet.

As a result, the Federal Empire’s Nanyang Squadron had the nickname of ‘Destroyer of the Invincible Squadron’.

However, in the textbooks, the United Kingdom of Britannia, which was called the Britannia Empire of the Land of Qin at that time, was indeed the first opponent!

The Hundred Year War continued intermittently.

The Federal Empire liberated the Beizhou, Nanzhou, and Xi’song.

It facilitated the independence of the Nanyang countries, guaranteed the territorial integrity of Jiaozhi and Siam, and directly led to the collapse of the enslavement and colonization of Tianlan by the Britannia. It helped the Tianlan people obtain their independence.

However, that was two hundred years ago.

Two hundred years was enough to change everything.

In Ling Pingan’s impression, the United Kingdom of Britannia today was directly related to the nickname of the country of corruption.

That was because the student from Fran at the University Ling Pingan had studied before had told him about that.

According to him: In Britannia, seven out of ten men were corrupt, and three were heretics!

Besides, it was that student of Fran’s who endlessly ridiculed Britannia’s dark cuisine.

“It can’t be! It can’t be! No one thinks that the people of Britannia can cook food, right?”

“Don’t tell me that the so-called delicious food of Britannia is simply fried and grilled?”

Ling Pingan recalled that student’s criticism and then looked at the advertisement.

He immediately became curious.

He asked the kitten in his arms, Bastet, “Little cutie, do you think… there isn’t anything edible in such a big place like Britannia?”

Meow!

The kitten, Bastet, let out a soft purr.

“Think about it carefully. The feud between Britannia and Fran is as deep as the sea!” Ling Pingan said, “The Fran people’s two proudest heroes suffered a great loss in the hands of the Britannia People!”

“According to a certain book, the popular tradition of giving the middle finger in disdain in the federal empire appeared during the war between the Britannia people and the Fran people…”

“The longbowmen of Britannia despised the Fran heavy cavalry!”

“Therefore, slandering and smearing the reputation of the old enemy is human nature!” Ling Pingan said, “If you listen to it, you will believe it!”

“We cannot discriminate!”

Ling Pingan’s education told him that making a judgment without investigation was not in line with the traditions and culture of the Federal Empire.

Confucius had said, “Judge of a man by his looks, to misread Kissmoto.”

Therefore, labeling others was not the behavior of a gentleman of the Federal Empire!

A true gentleman would conclude through a personal investigation.

“How about…” Ling Pingan said, “Let’s go and have a taste?”

Meow!

The kitten purred softly.

“Okay!” Ling Pingan smiled. “It’s decided then!”

Meow!

Ling Pingan returned to the shop and closed the door.

Then he took out his phone and booked a taxi from the e-hailing service.
