Chapter 2640 Continuing the journey, encountering ingredients again.

The second pot of food was quickly cooked, and everyone ate a large bowl, their mouths greasy with oil.

The taste of these ingredients is absolutely amazing, no less than that of ingredients from extraterrestrial demons.

After eating the food from two large snakes, the group finally took a break, still feeling unsatisfied.

The remaining giant snake was supposed to be eaten together, but the two Heavenly Officials in charge stopped them.

We've already eaten two large snakes; we'll save this last one for when we need it most.

Although everyone was tempted, they managed to resist the urge.

That's true. It's better to save some ingredients and use them when there's a food shortage later.

They reluctantly agreed, and after resting for about fifteen minutes, the group continued on their way.

However, my mindset is completely different now.

Before, I felt flustered about arriving in unfamiliar territory, but now, I feel more expectant.

Looking forward to acquiring new ingredients, those giant snakes are indeed quite good. If we can kill a few more after this, we can have another feast.

Therefore, the tension in my heart dissipated a lot, and I felt more expectant.

The way they were on the road was different; they looked around, searching for any trace of ingredients.

Upon seeing the giant snake as food, there's no doubt that everyone will swarm it. This isn't danger; it's a gift from heaven.

As for ingredients, who would complain about having too much? There's not too much at all; they'll take as much as we bring.

The group continued onward, but it was unclear whether the giant snake was a scarce food source or if everyone was simply unlucky.

They walked for a long time without encountering any danger.

The absence of danger naturally meant that they hadn't encountered any ingredients. Although the journey had been safe, everyone felt a little depressed.

Where are the ingredients? They promised to be everywhere in crisis, but we haven't seen a single trace of them.

Could this area only contain ingredients from those three-headed giant snakes?

Unfortunately, the giant snake used some unknown method to conceal its form, and even the two Heavenly Officials in charge were unable to detect it beforehand.

We can only detect them when they show themselves on their own.

Otherwise, even if you push your divine sense to its limit, you won't be able to detect even the slightest trace of its aura.

This frustrated everyone, as they could only wait for the ingredients to come to them, and they had no way to find them.

Where did these ingredients go?

"How would I know? Go ahead and look for it."

"If I had that ability, I would have gone long ago."

As the group traveled in frustration, grumbling to each other in hushed tones, without warning, the air, filled with blood-red dust, seemed to be stirred up by something.

A huge vortex quickly formed above everyone's heads, like the eye of a tornado.

"what?"

"I don't know, I only care about what comes from underground."

The sudden change in the sky alerted everyone, but there was little excitement.

It's not like it's food. Right now, everyone is more concerned about what's happening underground—that giant snake as food.

If it were commotion underground, everyone's eyes would probably be shining with excitement.

However, looking at the sky now, everyone was getting impatient.

What the hell is this? Playing tricks and making a fuss. What should come doesn't come, but this thing that shouldn't come has to come and mess with people's mentality, right?

His gaze was fixed on the enormous vortex in the sky, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a loud... rooster crow echoed from the smoke and dust.

"what sound?"

The rooster's crow startled everyone; where did it come from?

With the sound, a huge chicken head quickly emerged from the vortex.

The chicken's head is enormous, which suggests that the other animal must be quite large as well.

However, no one was interested in the rooster; they were only thinking about the snake as an ingredient.

After all, everyone has eaten chicken before, so the spirit chicken was already tasteless and bland to everyone present.

"Someone kill it, it's annoying to look at."

Some people spoke up impatiently, saying they were waiting for the ingredients.

However, Tianlin clearly thought more than the others. While everyone was impatiently chattering, Tianlin came to Ye Changqing's side and asked in a low voice.

Is this something we're using as food?

The giant snake was a top-quality ingredient, and this rooster, although he couldn't tell anything about it, was clearly no ordinary rooster.

Its aura was different; it was far stronger than that of an ordinary spirit chicken.

So he thought that maybe this thing was also an ingredient. Just because he couldn't tell didn't mean Ye Changqing couldn't.

Therefore, Tianlin immediately asked the question, his eyes full of anticipation.

Ye Changqing looked up at the enormous chicken head in the sky, his expression full of strangeness.

The system in my mind started buzzing again; this rooster was actually a top-tier ingredient once more.

What's going on in this area? Top-tier ingredients that are hard to come by in the past are now rare here. We haven't even been walking for long and haven't encountered many living creatures yet, but we've already seen two top-tier ingredients.

Ye Changqing had previously made some guesses about how to judge top-quality ingredients.

Given the nature of the canine system, the conditions are obviously extremely demanding; if the requirements are not met, there will be no response.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone so long without encountering each other so often.

However, before even a day had passed since they arrived in this area, the system had already given them two ratings as top-tier ingredients.

As before, the system provided the cooking method and weaknesses of the rooster.

It was top-quality ingredients again, and seeing Ye Changqing like this, Tian Lin seemed to have guessed something.

The look in their eyes as they gazed at the rooster now turned fiery.

If Ye Changqing doesn't say anything, then it means there's something wrong with this rooster.

The part that seems off is most likely the ingredients. So, this rooster, like the snake we had before, is a top-tier ingredient comparable to an extraterrestrial demon.

Tian Lin wondered to himself, and his eyes grew increasingly eager. Was there really such a good thing?

At the same time, Ye Changqing, who was standing to the side, did not disappoint him. Just as Tian Lin was secretly excited, Ye Changqing slowly spoke up.

"Yes, this rooster, like the snake from before, is a top-quality ingredient, and its weakness is its comb."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing Ye Changqing's words, Tian Lin was first stunned, then overjoyed.

Wow, these really are top-quality ingredients! What a wonderful thing!

Moreover, Ye Changqing also saw through the weakness of this ingredient. As long as there is a weakness, it will be easy to deal with.

Don't be fooled by this rooster's powerful aura. Now that I know your weakness, killing you will be a piece of cake.

For a moment, Tianlin felt that this place was a treasure trove. Look, it's full of top-quality ingredients.
