Then shouldn’t wild beasts be the same?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It does look similar, but the power levels are still vastly different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan thought of the later, near-apocalyptic power system in Food Fantasy and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even galaxies and universes had become food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Blue Planet became like that, it would be a nightmare for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It has nothing to do with world strength,” Lin Miao stuck out her tongue at Ye Xuan. She knew full well how vast the Food Fantasy universe was and how terrifying its later power levels—she was only referring to the Food Hunter and Chef partnership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Miao stuck out her tongue at Ye Xuan; she knew full well how vast the world of Gourmet was and how terrifying the power levels became later, so she was only referring to a Food Hunter and chef partnership.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Miao didn’t speak further, skipping happily behind him, her face relaxed as she admired the scenery around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew the strength Ye Xuan possessed, so she wasn’t worried about danger at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Ye Xuan felt the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know how many mutated beasts were in the Hangcheng Nature Reserve, or how strong the strongest among them were—but he didn’t believe any could threaten him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Qi tide hadn’t arrived yet; even the most powerful mutated beasts had no chance against human firearms, let alone against Ye Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if a mutated beast truly appeared here strong enough to impress him, he’d find it interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ye Xuan and Lin Miao ventured deeper, the forest light grew dimmer, tree shadows swayed, and a faint, elusive stench hung in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan stopped walking, a hint of interest flickering in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mutated beast is coming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Miao, seeing him halt, realized a mutated beast was near; her heartbeat quickened slightly, a mix of nervousness and anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though aware of the danger, as a chef, her curiosity about unknown ingredients far outweighed her fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she could perfectly process and cook the meat of these mutated beasts, perhaps she’d create a flavor never before known?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A mutated wild boar—about twice the size of a normal one, tusks over a meter long, skin covered in a rock-like hardened layer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Xuan gave her a brief description after hearing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, his senses had detected multiple mutated beasts along the path, but their Qi fluctuations were so weak they didn’t interest him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his perception, more than one mutated beast had already appeared along the path, but their qi fluctuations were so negligible they didn’t stir the slightest interest in him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[60] The rock-like hardened substance on its skin resembled a natural armor, glinting with a cold sheen in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal wild boars weighed between 90 and 200 kilograms; some breeds reached up to 400 kilograms—but this one weighed at least two thousand jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its massive body loomed like a small mountain ahead, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rock-like hardened layer on its skin resembled natural armor, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The layer of rock-like hardened material on his skin resembled a natural armor, gleaming with a cold luster in the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1162,"2026-06-20T13:10:12.391Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","5b42639e46b99c51007fcd30761914d8b200c678c0b33d6f2c6d91aa924482c3","dimensional-invasion-i-can-fish-the-all-heavens-chapter-28","dimensional-invasion-i-can-fish-the-all-heavens-chapter-26",193,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdimensional-invasion-i-can-fish-the-all-heavens-cover.jpg"]
