Chapter 22: Damn, It’s Really Delicious!
Inside the hospital.
A young man in black stood in front of the bed with a cold expression.
On the bed, Zhang Yangming was wrapped in bandages. He felt pain even when he turned over gently.
"Brother, there must be someone behind Jiang Chen."
Zhang Yangming said viciously: "Yang Xiaowen, that woman, deceived me, saying that I was an orphan without a backer."
The young man in black was his brother, the guard, Zhang Tianyang!
"I will investigate this matter. You should keep a low profile during this period."
Zhang Tianyang looked ugly and said: "You should rest assured and don't worry about other things."
"But, brother, I can't take this beating in vain." Zhang Yangming said hatefully: "You beat me like this, even if you have a backer, you can't just let it go."
"I didn't say it was in vain, let's find out first." Zhang Tianyang frowned and said: "I'll wrong you for a while, just bear with it first."
"I can bear it, as long as I find out, I will definitely destroy him with my own hands!" Zhang Yangming said viciously.
Zhang Tianyang nodded: "Have a good rest, I'm leaving first."
"Jiang Chen, wait until I find out who your backer is, there are ways to deal with you!"
Zhang Yangming gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with ferocity.
...
On the other side.
Jiang Chen and Wang Zhen took a car to the abandoned land in the northern suburbs of the city.
A golden barrier appeared in front of them, extending to an unknown distance.
Through the barrier, Jiang Chen saw big trees with his hands around him, and dilapidated houses.
The broken walls and rubble showed the cruelty of the war.
Near the barrier, there was a market made up of shops, with countless pedestrians, and many people setting up stalls on the street.
There were young people and teenagers. Jiang Chen glanced and saw many faces from the school.
Not unfamiliar, not familiar, just seen a few times in school.
The two passed through the barrier without any hindrance and entered the abandoned land.
"Brother Chen, wait for me first."
Wang Zhen asked him to wait outside, and he went into the shops to buy things.
The people here were not surprised by the arrival of the two. People come in and out every day, so it is not surprising to have two more unfamiliar faces.
After waiting for half an hour, Wang Zhen came out with two backpacks in one hand.
Jiang Chen reached out to take the bag. Wang Zhen's arm was not healed yet, so it was a bit troublesome to lift it.
"Brother Chen, I just asked, now the Zerg has reserved the venue during the day, and it is too dangerous without security."
Wang Zhen said.
"Too dangerous is beyond the third and fourth grades?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"No, for example, the vampire mosquitoes are flying around and difficult to kill, and they are easy to get hurt.
Also, the two-winged centipede contains a strong poison, which is a thankless task."
Wang Zhen explained: "People of the same level don't want to go, and those with strong strength look down on them."
"Two-winged centipede? I remember that in the school textbooks, two-winged centipedes cannot fly and must evolve to four wings." Jiang Chen asked.
Wang Zhen said: "Yes, but the two-winged centipede can fly low, and it is highly poisonous."
"That's okay. The toxins of the two-winged centipede are hidden in the fangs. As long as we pull out the fangs, we can eat it."
Jiang Chen said calmly: "It's written very clearly in the textbook. It's very delicious when fried."
Wang Zhen: "???"
At this point, Jiang Chen looked at his backpack: "You didn't buy oil?"
Wang Zhen's mouth twitched: "Really eat it?"
"You don't have to eat it, I just want to try it." Jiang Chen said.
"Then I'll go buy it." Wang Zhen put down his backpack and went back to the store again.
A barrel of oil, seasonings, a pot, and a spatula.
With a lot of bags on his back, Wang Zhen led the way and went to find the two-winged centipede.
As for the blood-sucking mosquito, Jiang Chen didn't want to go for the time being, and he couldn't fly.
Although the speed is fast, if the blood-sucking mosquito flies too high, he can't do anything, it's better to find the two-winged centipede.
The two left the market and went to the area where the two-winged centipede was.
Passing through the dense forest, they saw many practitioners on the way, shuttling through the forest.
A quarter of an hour later, the two came to a pile of rocks, where there was an abandoned factory.
The factory was full of dust, overgrown with weeds, and there was a smell of decay.
"This is it."
Wang Zhen put down his backpack and said, "Brother Chen, pay attention to the surroundings, especially the broken factory, some gaps are full of centipedes."
Jiang Chen then opened his backpack and said, "What do you need? I'll help you get it out."
"The red bottle contains the two-headed snake powder of the Zerg, the favorite food of the two-winged centipede."
Wang Zhen said, "And this black bottle, which contains the liquid of the female centipede, fused with the two-headed snake powder, has a fatal attraction to the two-winged centipede."
After speaking, he opened the bottle, took out a bowl, and mixed the two powders.
Then he took out a thumb-sized piece of white grease and placed it under the bowl.
"This is insect oil, which is refined by many kinds of insects. This piece is enough to burn for an hour. The fragrance it emits can also attract the Zerg, and it is also a universal fragrance."
Wang Zhen explained while operating.
Jiang Chen listened quietly and worked with him.
Finally, Wang Zhen took out another bottle of insect repellent and applied it on his body: "Brother Chen, are you sure you don't want to have some?"
"No." Jiang Chen shook his head.
"Then I'll light it, I'll retreat first." Wang Zhen said, lit the grease, got up and ran.
Jiang Chen stood there, without moving.
Buzz
In less than a moment, a faint buzzing sound sounded, and red lines appeared on the piles of rocks and abandoned factories.
On the back of the red line, there was a pair of transparent wings, which kept vibrating and making a buzzing sound.
Two-winged centipede!
Wang Zhen hid in the distance, watching this scene, his face tense and solemn.
Two-winged centipedes crawled out one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was blood red.
All two-winged centipedes!
Some centipedes vibrated their wings, jumped directly from the roof of the factory, and swooped down.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen was surrounded by two-winged centipedes.
Whoosh!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and one centipede after another vibrated its wings and flew up, rushing towards Jiang Chen, with a pair of black fangs, emitting venom.
Jiang Chen looked indifferent, and a hot breath filled the air.
Boom
The power of blood and qi burst out, and four five-foot blood and qi lines rushed out, and rolling heat waves swept in all directions.
Snap
The two-winged centipedes that had just rushed over fell directly, and were already charred.
There was something attracting them, and these two-winged centipedes were like crazy, without fear, rushing madly.
Jiang Chen's mind moved, and four blood and qi streams rushed out at the same time, like a light curtain, brushing these centipedes.
Centipedes fell one by one, but there were too many centipedes, and some still crawled in front of Jiang Chen.
The fangs bit down, but it was-
Dingdang
It was like biting on a steel plate, not only did it not break the defense, but two fangs broke.
[Toughness] But it has rebound!
Jiang Chen looked at these centipedes with disdain, easily crushed one, and picked up a burnt one.
Under Wang Zhen's horrified eyes, he swallowed the centipede.
The taste was a bit strange, after all, it was not fried, so it was acceptable.
[Digestion] The skill was activated, and the burnt centipede was digested instantly.
0.2%!
Very little, probably because this centipede was incomplete.
"If it really works, then... you're welcome!"
Jiang Chen looked at these centipedes, and his eyes had changed.
These are all energy, one is too little, but these densely packed ones, when added together, are quite a lot!
"Fuck, it's really delicious! At least you can add some seasoning." Wang Zhen was stunned, it's so original, is it really edible?
