Food Wars: Live Broadcast in the Prison of Food

Chapter 62 Scorpion Cockroach

"So, the reason why you and I were so anxious just now, Brother Che, is because there are all giant millipedes in the cave?"

Walking deeper into the cave on the other side, Reina asked curiously.

"Well, I don't know why they didn't come out of the cave before, but if I had chased them out just now, I was worried that I would have hurt you. It would have been a bit troublesome to protect you and fight against so many bugs at the same time."

"So I planned to run to another cave entrance while they couldn't catch up with me, and use the terrain that only humans can pass through to get rid of them."

"But for some reason they only chased us as far as the cave entrance."

As for why Yang Che did not use the incarnation of appetite to intimidate, unfortunately, intimidation is not very effective for some ferocious insects that have low thinking ability.

The giant millipede happens to belong to this type.

Are those bugs going to hurt me?
The girl nodded.

There was a barely perceptible flash of disdain in his eyes.

But considering that Brother Che cares about her and is afraid that she will get hurt, these bugs did a good job.

Thinking of this, she felt a little better about these disgusting bugs.

Before they knew it, they had been deep in the cave for about three hours.

Along the way, he sent drones to explore the several forks in the road and then continued on his way.

Fortunately, there are not many forks in the road, and there are no particularly exotic creatures. Otherwise, it would not be good to scare the viewers in the live broadcast room every day. After all, the income from tips is also part of the source of the points he needs to buy food in the hunter's lodge.

Along the way, perhaps because of the limited vision in the dark environment, although there was a narrow field of view provided by the flashlight.

But if she heard any unknown noise, Reina would still get scared (?) and cling to him tightly.

Yang Che could only feel that if he really wanted to find a cooking partner, he would at least need to train his courage.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with if you encounter a wild beast and can't run.

Lena on the side had no idea what he was thinking. She wished she could stay with Yang Che longer like this.

[This cave is too deep. How long have we been walking? Nearly 4 hours already? ]

[The host is moving downwards all the time. The tilt angle is getting bigger and bigger. Where is it going to lead to? It won't lead to the center of the earth, right? ]

[Delicious food, beautiful women, and adventures, the anchor’s life is really enviable. 】

[What should I do? The anchor is walking so quietly like this. I’m afraid he’ll suddenly jump out like in a horror movie and keep hunting for strange creatures to scare people! ]

[Don’t be afraid, if you pop out, you’ll become the host and our meal. The better.]

【Whoever likes to eat those things can eat them! 】

[By the way, isn't it said to be a very rare ingredient? That girl named Reina also said that many gourmet hunters came in, but how come there is no living one so far? Is this place so dangerous!? ]

------

"Of course it's impossible for this place to lead to the center of the earth."

"However, this cave is actually quite long. According to statistics, it is dozens of kilometers long and 80 meters deep."

"According to statistics, the probability of reaching the spawning ground of puffer whales safely is only 0.1%, which means that only one out of a thousand professional gourmet hunters can reach it."

“It’s very difficult to find the right path here and avoid the beasts.”

"Without maps or appropriate abilities, many hunters would get lost in these complicated roads or get trapped by a group of wild beasts."

"I'm afraid this is also the reason why we haven't seen a single living person so far."

As Yang Che walked forward, he answered the audience's questions in his mind.

In front of him, a huge vertical hole appeared on the ground.

There is no road ahead.

"Ah ah ah ah ah---"

An extremely shrill howl was heard.

Lena's face turned pale and she pressed herself against Yang Che. "What was that sound just now?"

".It is the wail of other gourmet hunters."

Yang Che was silent for a moment and replied.

He looked at Reina's pale face and guessed that she was probably thinking about the tragic situation in the village at that time.

When the villagers were collecting the bodies, he saw the sisters leaning against the window and watching quietly through the curtains. They had the same expression on their faces at the time.

He quickly sent a drone to fly over to the cave to investigate.

Now it was the turn of the people in Shokugeki World to scream.

[Ahhh! Here we go again, anchor, please stop using drones to explore the road, it's bad for your heart! ]

[Cockroaches? Scorpions? Why are there so many bugs?!]

[This is bigger than a human being, right? We Cantonese cockroaches are ashamed of ourselves. ]

[Damn it, that hand sticking out from the middle of this bunch of bugs! That's a fucking person!]

[Should we suggest that the country introduce some policies to prevent children and the elderly from watching this live broadcast? It is too easy to scare them. ]

[The wishful thinking of the above person is too loud. 】

[This is how many bugs are biting at the same time. This is what it would be like to be cut into pieces. 】

[More refreshing than a horror movie! ]

The image displayed by the drone showed a group of huge black insects that looked like cockroaches but had scorpion tails, gathered together and gnawing on something.

A terrifying crunching sound was heard.

In just a few seconds, the bugs scattered, leaving only a pile of bones in the middle.

Each insect is 2 or 3 meters in size and more than 1 meter tall, with strange patterns on the back of its black shell.

"Cockroach scorpion, capture level 7, has a strong venom, and because of its strong reproductive capacity, it always moves in groups, so the capture level can reach 7."

"Because it's so disgusting, it tops the list of the most undesirable creatures to hunt in the IGO announcement almost every year."

“And inedible”

Thinking that they were inedible, Yang Che lost interest in them.

But they gathered together in groups and blocked the way forward.

The entrance to the passage is too narrow. Even if you use the Moon Step, you will inevitably be attacked by cockroaches and scorpions inside.
In the original book, it seems that only by fearing the poison of Coco can one pass safely.
I don't know if intimidation is useful.
There is no record of this. For creatures with stronger combat power than giant millipedes, perhaps the intimidation level required must reach a certain level in order to scare them.

Because the evolutionary level of the basic gourmet cells of most gourmet hunters in statistics does not seem to be very strong, the deterrent effect of the intimidation released may be slightly insufficient for powerful creatures.

Therefore, it is not known whether the cockroach scorpion is a creature that can be intimidated or not.

I thought that since they knew to be afraid of cocoa's poison, they should have some brains.

You can try.

If there is no other choice, you can only fight your way out.

Thinking of this, Yang Che said to Lena:

"It may be dangerous down there. I'll go down and take a look. You stay here and don't move."

"Well, I won't run around, Brother Che, you must be careful."

After Yang Che agreed, he jumped down and landed on his knees.

At the same time, a huge one-eyed demon with white skin, white hair, and lightning-shaped patterns on his body appeared behind him again!
The white devil, which seemed both real and illusory, released its terrifying appetite equally to all the cockroaches and scorpions present.

The cockroach scorpion that was surrounding Yang Che paused and stopped in a hurry, but did not run away in fear. It automatically made way for Yang Che in his path.

They surrounded on both sides, looking eager to make a move but also very fearful.
