Chapter 1210 The Abyssal Demon“s Gourme

The demon had black skin, dark golden eyes, pointed ears, sharp fangs, and a pair of leathern wings on its back. It was giving off a towering, savage aura.

As soon as the golden eyes’ voice faded away, the stone that made up the cage slowly crumbled, and the cage gradually fell apart, freeing the Abyssal Demon. It instantly fixed its dark golden eyes at Bu Fang. In those eyes, Bu Fang saw greed, bloodlust, and excitement…

“Ah… Here comes another fool who seeks his death… It’s been years since the last man made it this far in this damned inheritance.”

The Abyssal Demon had a burly body. It raised a hand with sharp claws and gave its neck a twist, making the bones inside pop. As it moved, its dark golden eyes studied Bu Fang’s body with a greedy look.

“What a nostalgic smell… A human being,” it said with a grin. “I can finally have a full meal.”

“An Abyssal Demon?” Bu Fang frowned and looked at the demon. He didn’t have a very deep understanding of Abyssal Demons, but he knew they were a delicacy, which caused them to be slaughtered by Nether Prison experts.

Nowadays, there were few pure-blooded Abyssal Demons, so he didn’t expect that he could find them in this land of inheritance. He reckoned that they were being imprisoned here by someone.

“Come, let’s start the Chef’s Challenge… After you lose, I’ll have a barbecue. I really miss roasted human meat!” The Abyssal Demon grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp teeth that looked like steel blades.

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth twitched as he looked at the demon. “Is the Chef’s Challenge part of the inheritance?”

“This damned inheritance is a dangerous thing… I don’t know why you all keep coming here to seek your death…” said the demon. “When it comes to Culinary Arts, you humans can never be better than us Abyssal Demons! We’ve studied food in its most primitive form and continued to develop it to the present… If it weren’t for the bloody humans’ invasion of our homeland, the Abyssal Demon’s gourmet would have spread all over the world!” The Abyssal Demon’s dark golden eyes grew wide and gleamed brilliantly.

“All right, you don’t have to talk anymore. A Chef’s Challenge? Come, let’s make this quick,” said Bu Fang. He was deeply suspicious of the Abyssal Demon’s Culinary Arts.

In the other arenas, everyone had met their opponents.

These Abyssal Demons were trapped in this world. Although they saw humans, they didn’t attack them. According to the rules, they needed to fight the inheritors with life-or-death Chef’s Challenges.

Boom!

The Abyssal Demon in front of Bu Fang slapped the arena with its palm. The ground shook and cracked open, and then a cooking bench made of bones slowly rose out of it. The demon reached out a hand and gently ran it over the bench, filling the air with a jarring noise as its sharp nails scratched across the surface.

“Come, human… Feel the despair!” The Abyssal Demon burst out laughing. “According to the rules of the life-or-death Chef’s Challenge, the winner will stay alive and use the loser as an ingredient,” said the demon. Its voice had a gruesome tone as if it was trying to frighten Bu Fang.

That, of course, didn’t affect Bu Fang at all. He waved his hand, and the White Tiger Heaven Stove immediately appeared and fell onto the arena with a crash, shaking the ground. Then, he shook his hand, and the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife emerged in his grip, flashing with a golden luster.

Meanwhile, the arena rumbled as the ground in the middle opened slowly, and a stone rack rose from it.

There was an ingredient placed on the rack.

“Oh, we’re very lucky. Our ingredient is meat…” The Abyssal Demon chuckled. He walked around the bone cooking bench and came in front of the rack, squinting at the ingredient.

The crimson ingredient was covered in marblings and looked extremely delicate.

Bu Fang also walked around the White Tiger Heaven Stove and came in front of the rack. He studied the demon curiously at close range, and the demon was looking at him as well. Their eyes met in midair.

“If there were no rules, I would have torn you to pieces and drunk your warm blood by now!” said the Abyssal Demon.

Bu Fang twitched his mouth. He spun the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife, then used it to pick up the chunk of meat, throwing it into the air before he grabbed it with one hand.

“Oh? This meat…” He slightly narrowed his eyes as if he felt something incredible. “This is a strange meat…” he murmured under his breath.

“This is Qilin meat. I bet you haven’t seen it before, have you? The Dark Qilin meat is a pseudo-sacred-grade immortal ingredient, mainly because Dark Qilins are not pure-blooded Fire Qilins, so their meat is not up to the standard of the sacred grade immortal ingredient. Nevertheless, it is already good enough to be the ingredient for our Chef’s Challenge,” said the Abyssal Demon.

He reached out a hand, grabbed the Qilin meat, and walked slowly back to his bone cooking bench. Abyssal Demons’ arms were long and full of muscles, giving them mighty strength.

“This Qilin meat is the ingredient of our Chef’s Challenge. I hope you can prepare a dish that won’t disappoint me, human. Otherwise, I’ll be very bored.” As he said that, he placed the meat on the bench. Suddenly, his sharp nail grew longer and turned into a kitchen knife, and then he used it to cut the meat into smaller pieces, each of the same size.

Bu Fang was slightly amazed by the technique.

“The ingredient we Abyssal Demons are best at cooking is meat. Since there are very few edible creatures in the Abyss, it’s very difficult for us to get meat for food. Therefore, every kind of edible meat we found is preserved with secret methods. We know a lot more about meat than you humans who live in peace,” said the demon, glancing at Bu Fang with his dark golden eyes.

After that, he used his nail that had transformed into a kitchen knife to poke a small hole in every piece of meat. When he was done, he pulled out a large cage from under the cooking bench, took out jars of spices from it, opened them, and sprinkled various spices onto the meat, making them colorful instantly.

Spices were one of the most common ingredients used by Abyssal Demons.

A huge bone wok was placed on the cooking bench. The demon dumped all the meat into the wok and began to rub them, making the spices penetrate fully into the meat.

Pop.

The lid of a wine jar was opened, revealing the crimson liquid inside as a strong aroma wafted out to fill the air. The extraordinary fragrance marked it the authentic Abyssal Demon Wine. Brewed by Abyssal Demons with a complex method, the wine was extremely rare in today’s Abyss, so rare that every jar could be sold for an astronomical price.

The demon poured the crimson wine into the wok, then drank a mouthful from the jar. There was a look of intoxication on his face. The wine’s aroma was not only rich, but it also contained the fragrance of young female Abyssal Demons, which was what made all male demons obsess about it.

After mixing in the wine, he rubbed the meat again and fermented them at the same time. The meat absorbed the wine instantly and expanded, and the demon took them out with satisfaction.

RUMBLE!

A scarlet fire rose from under the bone wok and began to burn ragingly. The temperature in the wok increased steadily, and soon, an exotic smell drifted out of it. After that, the demon grabbed the pieces of meat and placed them back into the wok.

Sizzle…

The meat sizzled as soon as they touched the wok, sending a combined aroma of wine and meat into the air.

Bu Fang had been watching the Abyssal Demon cook. He was somewhat surprised by the demon’s cooking style, which was really out of the ordinary. However, he knew it was not the time for him to watch further. He acknowledged that the Abyssal Demons could cook, and he would be interested in tasting their food in some other time, but not now. They were in a Chef’s Challenge at the moment, and only one of them could stay alive at the end. He didn’t want to become food for the Abyssal Demon.

Qilin meat was definitely an uncommon ingredient. Holding the meat, Bu Fang was lost in thought. Not only was he thinking of how he should cook it, but also about how to make a dish that was tastier than the Abyssal Demon’s. This was a Chef’s Challenge, not a game, and losing it would cost his life. His face grew serious as he stared at the fresh chunk of Qilin meat.

The next moment, he had an idea. With a thought, he took out several spirit fruits from the Heaven and Earth Farmland, including a Vermilion Fruit and an Ananas Fruit, then placed them on the cooking bench. The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife spun in his hand as his aura suddenly changed, while the Heart of Cooking Path emerged behind him, beat once, and filled the air with a thunderous sound.

He brought down the knife and cut the Qilin meat into small pieces. Then, he placed them into a blue-and-white porcelain bowl and marinated them with Yellow Spring Helplessness Wine and many other seasonings.

While waiting for the meat to absorb the seasonings, Bu Fang began to process the Vermilion Fruit and the Ananas Fruit. He cut the Vermilion Fruit into small pieces and squeezed out the sour juice. After that, he didn’t throw away the flesh, but placed it in a small bowl and crushed it into a bright red puree with a wooden pestle.

Once that was done, he turned to the Ananas fruit. It looked very similar to the pineapple in his previous life, which he knew would make the perfect side dish for what he was about to cook. He cut the fruit into triangular pieces and placed them on a plate.

With a thought, he produced the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, which fell onto the stove with a crash. After that, he opened his mouth and breathed a mass of white flame. The air twisted around the raging fire as he threw it into the White Tiger Heaven Stove with a flick of his finger.

He filled the wok halfway up with oil, and when the oil reached the right temperature, he began frying the marinated Qilin meat.

The Abyssal Demon squinted at Bu Fang with a pondering look.

After a short while, the bone wok in front of him began to shake as streams of light burst out of the meat.

The demon grinned as he sniffed at the long-lost smell. Staring at Bu Fang, the corners of his mouth curved upward into a confident smile.

The dish prepared by this human would never taste as good as his Abyssal Double Cooked Meat Slices!

He was sure to win the Chef’s Challenge, and this human would soon become his meal!
