Thousand-Faced Dragon

Chapter 354 Spicy Rabbit Head
"Delicious! This spicy rabbit head is authentic!"

Emma's mouth was covered in oil, and her hands were smeared with red oil. Combined with her eyes, which had turned completely blood red, she looked rather frightening. The fact that this rabbit-person was eating half a rabbit's head in one bite made Rean feel quite uneasy.

This is actually quite rare. Although herbivorous beastmen can eat meat, they generally don't like it much.

But looking at the other person's outrageous physique and muscle strength, Rean suddenly felt he could understand.

"Is it authentic? Then eat more."

Looking at Emma, ​​who was saying "it tastes authentic," Rean couldn't help but find it a little funny.

These are "hometown dishes" that I brought myself. Where did you get the authentic ones? But there are plenty of different kinds of meat dishes here. It's not impossible that some generation of Lee Eun-suk might cause trouble. Li En really wasn't sure if there was any.

In this world, having enough to eat is enough. Even rat meat has professional dishes, so why eat rabbits when they're not as cute as rabbits? However, local rabbit dishes generally don't include the head, which Rean finds a bit wasteful.

The chef said he couldn't cook it, so Rean simply did it himself.

It's possible that the other party claims it's authentic; it might actually be an original recipe left behind by some "ancestor."

"Ah, this spiciness is so satisfying!"

It was probably too spicy; the woman's eyes welled up with tears.

Seeing her face covered in chili sauce, Rean sighed and subconsciously handed her a tissue.

As a result, this naturally familiar woman glanced at the red oil and rabbit head on her hands, and simply offered her face so that Rean could wipe it off for her.

Looking at Emma, ​​who was eagerly waiting, Rean pondered for a moment. If they stayed in this position for too long, it would only make things more awkward for both of them.

So he quickly wiped her down. Then he felt a sharp pain in his waist, and the snake woman beside him glared at him fiercely.

Rean was both amused and exasperated. What kind of jealousy was this? This guy was just meeting someone who was very outgoing, and this girlfriend was taking it seriously.

But to be honest, looking at the snow-white expanse below her waist and those constantly jiggling white breasts, Rean didn't know where to look at this overly revealing bunny girl ranger.

"It's the innocent version? Looks like I arrived pretty early." Rean was unaware that Emma, ​​who was munching on a rabbit head, had already seen through everything.

Her gaze swept around. This frustrated snake woman was her current girlfriend. It was clear that nothing had happened yet. This time, her master was still the pure, original version.

But to be honest, she really missed the taste. She tried to recreate the dish, but for some reason, she always felt that something was missing.

Since he was curious, the Heroic Spirit simply asked the question.

"Oh, the key point is the chili sauce ratio; I also added cooking wine."

Rean didn't hide his "secret recipe"; in fact, he was quite proud of it.

"Oh, actually I can't cook, Sallyman. It's not that I didn't want to cook for you before, I just know how to cook some wild game."

Rean was telling the truth; his cooking skills were actually quite average, but he was good at handling wild rabbits, wild boars, and freshwater fish from the river, and he even had his own special techniques and recipes for each.

"This is something I practiced before, when I was receiving VIPs."

What Rean said was a half-truth, but also a truth. Back then, in order to get promoted quickly, he traveled all over the country to attract investment for a period of time.

Investment promotion sounds impressive, but it's essentially just about "making grand promises," "providing good hospitality," and having a "keen eye for business." Most investment zones, once cleared out for projects, are either waiting for demolition or are vacant land. In Li En's jurisdiction, which is a newly developed area, much of the time it's just telling stories to barren mountains.

Sometimes, he would take the merchants around for a whole day. Even if he took them to restaurants in town, they wouldn't get to eat anything good. So Rean learned a few tricks from the local hunters and farmers. Sometimes he would directly buy some wild game from their homes to give the merchants something different to eat.

Of course, this is also a problem of the times. For a period of time, some regions went too far and fed customers protected animals. When this was exposed on television, such matters were investigated very strictly.

Back in the days when we told stories to the desolate mountains, wild rabbits were an easy game to get. Rean always kept spicy rabbit head seasoning, cooking wine, and domestic rabbits in his car. Looking back, it's quite an interesting memory now.

For Rean now, these plates of spicy rabbit heads truly record too many of his past experiences.

"You eat too." This overly friendly girl, whom they were meeting for the first time, was even more considerate than Sallyman.

"Hmm." After taking a bite, hmm, the spiciness and sauce flavor came through, similar to before.

So, a dragon and a rabbit directly killed the rabbit heads. The snake didn't; she couldn't eat spicy food and just intermittently exhaled.

Towards the end, the snake's gaze towards the rabbit became somewhat dangerous—don't misunderstand, it was the snake that was dangerous.

"Dragon, didn't you want to hunt dragons? Which kind? Tell me."

However, during the tea time after the meal, Emma took the initiative to bring up the more important matter.

"His name is Silvadiro, a fully grown sapphire dragon who has already developed the ability to transform into human form, so his combat abilities should be quite formidable."

Rean explained the known information one by one. Originally, the purpose of recruiting high-level rangers and hunters was mainly to track this gem dragon that was good at hiding. So, as long as they had good tracking ability, that would be enough. But now, Rean felt that they might be able to rely on the enemy's combat strength.

After Rean finished speaking, Emma wiped her mouth and stood up.

"Uh, do you think it's inappropriate? We have giants here." Rean quickly stopped the soon-to-be-famous female rabbit.

"It's just an adult dragon. I'll go and take it back right now."

What? Going to hunt dragons alone? Uh, you didn't just take the deposit and run away, did you?
“Well, let’s set off together. It’s just a matter of a few days, no need to rush. We’ll take the teleportation route, which will be much faster than taking a carriage,” Rean quickly said.

Emma glanced at him, smiled slightly, and agreed.

Rean breathed a sigh of relief; this nameless powerhouse seemed easy to deal with.

Having a high-level ranger/hunter means you won't have to worry about finding the dragon. Their reconnaissance abilities should help you avoid ambushes to some extent, as sapphire dragons are true masters of ambush.

“Novelty is important to you too, isn’t it?” But the ranger’s next words seemed to imply that she had seen through everything.

Such a powerful stranger filled Rean with a mixture of joy and unease, especially since the other party seemed completely indifferent to the reward.

He changed the subject, trying to probe the other person, but it seemed to make no progress.

The other party's reply was impeccable, but the two of them had a very pleasant conversation and found their personalities to be quite compatible.

Having confirmed that his new comrade wouldn't run away and seemed relatively reliable, Rean focused his attention on preparing for the dragon hunt.
"I'll check things out with that forest giant tonight. At least before he leaves, I need to get everything sorted out so he can help me complete my bloodline evolution."
