Chapter 100: Yamask

[Long-Tusked Boar?]

Biscuit raised an eyebrow; she was not surprised that Luo Ge could hunt a Long-Tusked Boar alone.

What surprised her was that it was solved so easily.

She could see that there were no injuries on the Long-Tusked Boar, only a faint red line on its neck.

A throat-slitting strike.

Just as Luo Ge said, this sword could make him a master of swordsmanship, and the quality of the sword was also excellent.

The next moment, Biscuit’s expression turned into one of anticipation, and she urged: "Whole roasted pig?"

"It’s really making me impatient; hurry up and start, my good apprentice."

Biscuit patted Luo Ge on the shoulder, acting like an old veteran, but saliva was almost dripping from the corner of her mouth.

After being with Luo Ge for a long time, Biscuit discovered that her eldest apprentice was not just a monster.

He even had high culinary skills.

Luo Ge coughed twice; in fact, his cooking skills on Blue Star could only be considered decent.

After coming to the Hunter world, not only did his body become stronger, but his brain also became much sharper, and various techniques were easier to master.

"Alright, alright, you just sit on the side and watch; I’m going to start."

Biscuit didn't just sit there doing nothing; she ran over to help Machi and the others prepare the side dishes.

Luo Ge held Honedge and casually cut a large opening in the belly of the Long-Tusked Boar.

After a simple cleaning, the internal organs vanished.

Then he put it on the prepared extra-large barbecue grill, ready to roast it slowly.

Normally, it is difficult to roast a pig of this size, easily resulting in charred skin and an undercooked interior.

This obviously wouldn't taste good.

But the skin of the Long-Tusked Boar is extremely tough, almost like a steel plate, making it difficult to pierce, so it can fully withstand continuous roasting over a fierce fire.

During this process, the meat inside can absorb heat and gradually cook.

Even because the juices are wrapped by the thick skin, one bite will cause the rich meat juices to burst out.

This trick was also a method Luo Ge honed after taking a Long-Tusked Boar, and it is the most suitable way to handle a Long-Tusked Boar.

Time passed bit by bit, and the skin of the Long-Tusked Boar gradually changed from its original orange-red to deep red.

A faint fragrance also quietly emerged, but most of it was sealed under the thick skin, waiting to gush out at the last moment.

At this time, whether it was Biscuit and the others, or Nidorino and Eevee, they all gathered around Luo Ge, looking very hungry.

It wasn't that Haunter and the others didn't like to eat, but mainly because they were Ghost-type Pokémon and had no interest in ordinary food.

Their usual food is the dead Nen remaining on collected antiques, as well as going into the forest to find creatures to absorb life energy.

Since the amount they absorb is small, it doesn't count for much to the absorbed, and there is no impact.

And Biscuit and the others had all eaten the whole roasted pig made by Luo Ge, and that mellow taste was enough to make them linger for several years.

Inside, there was naturally the reason for Luo Ge’s method, but the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves could not be ignored.

The Long-Tusked Boar is one of the top-ranked pork ingredients in the world, belonging to B-grade ingredients, and it is not so easy to obtain.

Generally speaking, C-grade and lower ingredients can be bought with money and are relatively easy to obtain.

When it reaches the B-grade level, it is different; many ingredients are priceless, and even with money, they are not easy to buy.

The Long-Tusked Boar is in the deeper parts of the "Forest of Beasts," and to hunt it, one must pass through dangerous areas, and Long-Tusked Boars often travel in groups.

For ordinary people, hunting a Long-Tusked Boar is as difficult as ascending to heaven; basically, only Nen users with decent strength can do it.

It is said that even a piece of meat the size of a fist from a Long-Tusked Boar is enough to sell for a high price.

As Luo Ge turned the grill bit by bit, letting the Long-Tusked Boar heat evenly, the meat inside was also gradually cooking.

Until a certain moment, Luo Ge stopped turning, picked up the sharp knife beside him, and made several cuts on the Long-Tusked Boar.

Using Honedge to do this kind of thing is a bit unsuitable.

Then, a large, thick piece of skin, almost square, fell off, revealing the roasted meat inside that was crystal clear.

This is also a special point of the Long-Tusked Boar; after being roasted, their meat will show a luster like a gemstone.

In an instant, an extremely rich fragrance, as if compressed countless times, rushed into the sky, and the rich fragrance completely surrounded everyone.

This fragrance is not too greasy, and even carries a bit of freshness, making one’s appetite open wide.

Streams of grease like clear water flowed out, making a sizzling sound.

Luo Ge nodded with satisfaction; this whole roasted pig was done better than the last one, and then he picked up the seasonings beside him and sprinkled them on.

In addition to ordinary seasonings, Luo Ge also had a secret recipe, which was ground-up berries.

As sprinkles of berry powder were sprinkled on the roasted meat, the rich meat fragrance added a bit of fruit fragrance, making it hard to stop.

The extremely rich fragrance was like a vortex, rising in a spiral form, while also radiating in all directions.

In the forest a little further away,

A petite figure hid behind a large tree, looking at the fragrant whole roasted pig in Luo Ge’s campsite, swallowing saliva.

Her eyes were full of envy and curiosity.

But in the end, reason suppressed her appetite, and she shook her head and hurried away, not daring to get any closer.

"Dinner is served~"

At Luo Ge’s command, everyone was given a large piece of roasted pork, and they could add more if it wasn't enough.

Even Nidorino and Eevee were given quite a bit of roasted pork; one Long-Tusked Boar was enough for them all to eat.

As soon as the fragrant pork entered the mouth, hot meat juices splashed out, as if countless fragrances were dancing on the tip of the tongue.

Extreme pleasure filled the brain.

Even without much chewing, the soft, glutinous pork turned into juice and flowed into the stomach, making the whole body feel warm.

As if soaking in a hot spring.

This heat spread throughout the body, and during this process, the Nen on Luo Ge’s surface fluctuated slightly, slowly increasing.

High-grade ingredients, after being cooked, form good dishes, and eating them can have effects such as improving physical fitness and increasing Nen.

It is no wonder that there is a branch of Gourmet Hunters in the world, and so many people are willing to spend a fortune for food.

The food in the Hunter world can be compared to the food in the Toriko world, which also has many magical ingredients.

"This gemstone-like luster, it’s really hard to take a bite."

"But it’s a pity, appetite still prevails."

Biscuit looked at the pork on the plate, muttered to herself, smiled, and began to eat.

"Woo-woo!"

Nidorino had already started eating in large mouthfuls, and each mouthful could swallow a large piece of roasted pork.

During the process of eating, it also had a good improvement.
