Chapter 81: The Demon Beasts' Stomachs Protest

The meat of a Third-rank Great Divine Beast, just thinking about that taste makes one's mouth water.

It's a pity that the girl Nudi ate all the immortal pills and spiritual fruits.

The whole family is going hungry.

He cannot hide this lion meat and enjoy it all by himself.

Zhang Yi sighed, just preparing to call Mother Jubiao and the little earth dragon over to start the meal.

He saw Nudi walking with elegant steps, shaking her little head as she walked to the corpse of Shizhentian.

She even used her claws to poke at it twice with a look of disdain.

"This lion is so old, the meat must be very tough."

Nudi wrinkled her little nose, "Forget it, forget it... I, Nudi, will reluctantly eat a couple of bites."

Zhang Yi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

As if anyone were begging her to eat!

He suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and said with a forced smile, "It is our honor that you, esteemed one, would deign to eat a couple of bites."

Only then did Nudi nod with satisfaction, sticking out her pink, tender little tongue to lightly lick the meat on Shizhentian's hind leg.

"Hmm... barely edible."

She evaluated with feigned reserve.

Zhang Yi couldn't be bothered to pay her any mind.

Mother Jubiao pounced over in excitement.

To be honest, she was starving too.

It was the instinct of a mother.

She had hidden away some food, just so she could take it out when the children were hungry.

Therefore, with only a little food, this Jubiao would eat a little herself and still have to save some, so naturally, she could never fill her belly.

Now, seeing such a huge pile of lion meat before her, she had long since been drooling.

At this moment, she opened her huge bird beak even wider and tore off a large chunk of lion leg meat in one bite.

"Mmm! So fragrant! As expected of something my son hunted!"

Mother Jubiao praised unclearly while wolfing down the food.

The little earth dragon also ran over happily, using its little claws to dig at Shizhentian's corpse, wanting to find a piece of meat that was more tender.

"Xiao Pu, you come eat too."

Zhang Yi tore off a piece of relatively tender tenderloin and handed it to Xiao Pu.

Xiao Pu smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Father!"

For a time, a "Taotie Feast" was being staged around the corpse of Shizhentian.

The Pterosaur chewed on the lion leg meat and asked unclearly: "I say Zhang Yi, what are your plans for next?"

Zhang Yi swallowed the meat in his mouth and pondered for a moment: "Rest for a few days first to recover my vitality. The consumption this time was a bit high, I need to nourish myself well."

"That's true."

The Pterosaur nodded.

Zhang Yi had just torn off a piece of charred, fragrant lion rib and was preparing to feast.

The corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure.

He turned his head to look and exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

He saw that little girl Nudi, who was smacking her little lips while eating meat.

She was secretly stuffing large chunks of lion leg meat under her fluffy belly.

Her bulging belly looked like a little ball, trembling with her little movements, looking exactly like a little hamster stealing food.

Zhang Yi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

This is truly eating what is in the bowl while looking at what is in the pot—no, she is taking what is in the pot!

"This fool, having taken down such a big lion, I must hide more. With his huge appetite, I fear that before tomorrow, this lion will be finished off by him."

Nudi's inner voice reached Zhang Yi's ears clearly.

Zhang Yi felt his temples throbbing.

This girl really refuses to suffer even the slightest loss!

He suppressed the urge to pick this little girl up and spank her, and said with a forced smile, "Little sister, what are you hiding? Good things should be shared by everyone."

Nudi's little body stiffened noticeably, then she looked up as if nothing had happened.

Looking at Zhang Yi, "Can't eating stop your mouth?"

Zhang Yi:!!!

As she spoke, she even poked the meat hidden under her belly with her little claw as if it were a serious matter.

Zhang Yi was almost amused to the point of anger by her clumsy acting.

This Nudi is cunning as a fox; who knows who she learned it from.

Zhang Yi took a deep breath and couldn't be bothered to lower himself to her level.

Shizhentian is indeed worthy of being a Third-rank Great Divine Beast; the meat is firm, fresh, and juicy.

It carries a unique, wild fragrance that makes one unable to stop.

The surrounding air is filled with the charred fragrance of roasted meat, mixed with the fishy sweetness of lion blood, forming a strange aroma.

To Zhang Yi's family, this fragrance is a symbol of deliciousness, but to the other Demon Beasts under the Arena, it is a naked temptation.

These Demon Beasts come from all over, having traveled thousands of miles to participate in the competition at the Demon Saint's mansion.

The journey is long, and carrying food has become a major problem.

Most Demon Beasts only brought enough food to maintain basic survival, usually scrimping and saving for fear that their food would run out before the competition ended.

Although the Demon Saint Mansion also provided some food, the quantity was limited and the quality was mediocre, enough only to stave off hunger.

It was fundamentally unable to satisfy these Demon Beasts' demand for energy.

Especially for those guys with massive bodies and astonishing appetites, even just getting full became a luxury.

Now, watching Zhang Yi's family gathered around a mountain-like Third-rank Great Divine Beast, Shizhentian, feasting heartily, the fragrant smell of meat made them drool, their eyes turning green with envy.

A thin, frail-looking wolf demon stared longingly at the succulent lion rib in Zhang Yi's hand, its stomach rumbling incessantly.

It licked its cracked lips, its throat swallowing saliva with difficulty.

Beside it, a sturdy-looking bear demon was even more dramatic.

While watching Zhang Yi's family eat meat, it kept slapping its own belly, making "thump, thump, thump" muffled sounds, as if protesting that its stomach was completely empty.

"Gulp!"

It was unclear who swallowed their saliva first, but this sound was like a signal, instantly igniting the entire scene.

In an instant, the sound of swallowing echoed one after another across the Arena.

Some Demon Beasts with poor self-control were already so tortured by the aroma that they had no heart left to watch the competition.

Their eyes were fixed straight on Zhang Yi's family, wishing they could rush up and snatch a piece of meat to eat.

"Damn it, this kid's family is too extravagant! A Third-rank Great Divine Beast, and they're just eating it wide open like that?"

A sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked rat demon said sourly.

"Exactly, think of how much meat is being wasted! And they don't even know to share some with us..."

Another pig demon chimed in; its stomach was also growling with hunger, but due to pride, it could only hold back.

"Sigh, if I had known, I would have gone to hunt a Great Divine Beast myself."

A bull demon sighed, deeply regretting that it hadn't taken the risk back then.

The discussions of these Demon Beasts naturally reached Zhang Yi's ears.

He secretly found it funny; these guys were all as hungry as wolves, yet they didn't dare come over to snatch any, only able to watch longingly—truly pitiful and laughable.

"Daddy, they all seem to be very hungry."

Xiao Pu said indistinctly while gnawing on lion leg meat.
