Chapter 476 Plants That Look Like Flesh
But none of that was the point. What made Lezhi exclaim in amazement was the thing that Lieyu had gone through so much trouble to get his hands on, which he called a multi-legged thing.
After removing the thorns and outer skin, the flesh inside is surprisingly tender.
Lei Xiu took a small sip, and his pupils unconsciously dilated. At that time, Le Zhi had no idea what kind of surprise he was about to face.
A new menu was added at the last minute, and when the meal was officially served, Lezhi tried the new dish at Lei Xiu's strong recommendation.
Immediately shocked.
What is this? It's so fresh and juicy, with the flavor of meat. Just a couple of chews and the juices burst out, the deliciousness rushing from your mouth all the way to your brain. And that's not all, the texture is also quite unique. It doesn't have the fibrous feel of regular meat, making this dish very gentle on your teeth. It's crisp, tender, and chewy—just the texture that Lezhi loves.
"You're amazing! Your cooking skills are top-notch, I'm completely outmatched."
After swallowing the food in her mouth, before taking the second bite, Lezhi didn't forget to compliment today's chef.
There are no rhetorical techniques involved; it's all about emotion.
Lei Xiu loved to hear it; his hard work being seen and his achievements being appreciated was his greatest motivation.
"I'll make you more if you like, eat slowly!"
"Um..."
Even with his mouth full of food, he still insisted on answering, which is quite polite.
Today's food received unanimous praise from everyone and the animals. Not only was Lezhi a little out of control, but Maoqiu and Kele also ate without even lifting their heads.
Jelly frogs and leaf beetles also got their share; their food list is relatively simple, and they only need to eat raw food.
But because it's raw food, the quality of the ingredients determines everything.
Today, for example, they ate much faster than usual, clearly very satisfied with their food.
Their camp was adjacent to that of the Golden Armor Clan, and from the first day of their joint training camp, the distance between them was maintained at just the right level, neither too far nor too close.
It's basically like they can see each other, but can't hear each other's voices clearly when they're talking.
Although the sounds were inaudible, the aroma of food spread in an unpredictable manner, disregarding boundaries and permeating the entire camp without restraint.
Lie Zhao and the others couldn't ignore it even if they wanted to.
The aroma was overpowering and pervasive, making one's mouth water, but looking at the ordinary-looking roasted meat in one's hand, one instantly lost their appetite.
Even though everyone uses the same ingredients, how come the aromas are so different?
The Golden Armor Clan, who had not yet learned how to use seasonings, couldn't understand it.
Lieyu, who had been asked by Lezhi to help, became a hot commodity, surrounded by his companions with their arms around his shoulders. Everyone asked him questions, trying to get some truth out of him.
"...I really don't know. Lezhi just asked what the collected plants were called and how they tasted. Lei Xiu was in charge of cooking, so I couldn't just go over and look, or I might get beaten up."
"Look at your guts. If you want to hit me, then hit me. If it were me, I would risk getting beaten up to steal some food. This taste... um, it's amazing."
"that is……"
Ha, these guys are really something, talking without understanding the pain, huh!
They don't even look at who's in charge of the cooking over there. Even the team leader couldn't get anything good out of him, and they're still dreaming. They're all so full of themselves.
Go do it now if you dare!
Lieyu's disdainful gaze was so obvious that the people surrounding him instantly felt provoked.
Just as he was about to erupt, before he even left the camp, he circled back to the same spot.
No, I got glared at. That look was even scarier than when the captain is angry.
Lieyu: "…………"
That's it...
The aroma was so enticing that people couldn't eat properly and ended up laughing and joking together.
Normally they wouldn't dare, but mealtimes are a rare time to relax, so Lie Zhi didn't stop them. He believed his friends knew their limits; they could play and joke around, but if they were really allowed to bother others, no one would dare to cross the line.
After all, there are cautionary tales right here.
Lie Zhao, sitting alone to one side, seemed oblivious to everything happening around him; the meat he was grilling was still the same as it had been.
After taking some fruit and freshly grilled meat, Lie Zhi sat down next to Lie Zhao.
They were facing the hearth, and through the leaping flames and the playful tribal members, they could see Lei Xiu and his group's hearth directly from this direction.
"Still thinking about it? No matter how many thoughts you have, you can't skip meals! What, you feel embarrassed in front of your teammates because you lost to them, and you can't even eat? It can't be that bad!"
They were of different ages; Lie Zhi was born a few years later than Lie Zhao. Lie Zhao was a serious man who didn't talk much, but his personal abilities were outstanding, making him the most brilliant figure in the clan in the last hundred years.
This meant that people born after him practically grew up listening to their teachers, friends, and elders praising Lie Zhao, which was no surprise to Lie Zhi.
After joining the guard team, he was assigned to Lie Zhao's team and followed him to sweep through the guard team. He watched as Lie Zhao successfully took over the guard team and became the youngest guard team captain in the history of the Golden Armor Clan.
Whether within the clan or at a hunting festival where all three clans gathered, Lie Zhao never lost.
They also firmly believed that Lie Zhao, this rising star, would not lose at the clan assembly.
Who would have thought that before the clan assembly even began, he would run into Lei Xiu and suffer a setback at his hands.
As a junior, teammate, and friend, Lie Zhi felt a little sorry for Lie Zhao, but he found it more amusing and exhilarating.
That guy, he's become increasingly stubborn lately because he's never lost.
If he weren't outmatched, he would have punched him a long time ago, just to find out what was going on in that stubborn head of his every day.
Lei Xiu's appearance was just right, giving Lie Zhao the opportunity to slow down and reflect on his past.
Lie Zhi's seemingly comforting but actually hurtful words were especially grating to Lie Zhao's ears.
He wanted to refute, but didn't know how to phrase it.
She glanced at Lei Xiu, then quickly looked away before he noticed. Despite not having eaten for a long time, she didn't feel hungry at all. The roasted meat in her hand had gone cold, creating a stark contrast with the aroma that filled the air.
Just like Lei Xiu and him in the battle.
Compare, compare...
"No?" came a muffled reply, the voice low. Lie Zhi seemed not to hear it clearly, so he leaned closer and asked, "What?"
Unsure whether he did it on purpose, Lie Zhao didn't answer again, but glanced at him sideways before silently eating the roasted meat in his hand.
It's like having no sense of taste; the mouth mechanically chews and swallows, completely unconcerned about the taste of the food, only concerned with filling the stomach.
Unable to stand his captain's unyielding attitude, Lie Zhi didn't indulge him. While eating, he kept his eyes blatantly fixed on Le Zhi and the others.
They are not afraid of being discovered at all.
Even when Lei Xiu glanced over and their eyes met, he waved to him.
Perhaps unaware of the malice in his eyes, Lei Xiu didn't feel any ill will towards Lie Zhi's overly familiar behavior. After nodding in response to Lie Zhi's wave, he looked away.
The moment she looked away, she subtly glanced at Lie Zhao without pausing, but Lie Zhi still caught it keenly.
It seems the other side is also very unwilling to give up!
That's good. It takes two to tango; things are only interesting when both parties are dissatisfied.
The smile on his lips was almost impossible to hide, so to avoid being noticed by others, Lie Zhi quickly covered it up by saying he was eating.
Meanwhile, during his meal, Lezhi didn't miss Lei Xiu's brief moment of distraction. He also noticed the prying eyes behind him, but he didn't have time to pay attention.
Let them look, it won't hurt them.
What if we make eye contact and the other person thinks I have a social need and comes closer?
Therefore, playing dead is the safest option.
However, while Lezhi could ignore Liezhi and the others' prying eyes, he wouldn't ignore Lei Xiu's reaction.
In the firelight, Lei Xiu's face was half in light and half in shadow. With the tip of his nose as the dividing line, the upper half of his face was hidden in darkness, so one could only judge his mood from his pursed lips. It seemed, maybe, perhaps not so good!
