Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

It turns out that this time it hadn't discovered anything unusual; it was simply out foraging for food.

The prey targeted by the Nergigante was a monster that looked somewhat like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, but with an unusually large mouth and serrated spikes around its mouth, back, and tail.

Upon spotting her prey, Reya exclaimed in surprise:

"It's a Deviljho!"

The Deviljho is not an Elder Dragon, but a large Brute Wyvern, and one of the most ferocious monsters among the Brute Wyverns.

Although the Deviljho is not an Elder Dragon, it is no less destructive to the ecosystem than Elder Dragons.

Because it must eat constantly to maintain its extremely high body temperature, and it has no fixed territory, it wanders around in search of food.

Moreover, its diet includes almost all creatures, and its powerful strength allows it to devour all the creatures in an area before moving on to the next area to continue hunting.

There are even eyewitness reports of a Deinosuchus attempting to prey on a living member of its own kind—a brutal creature that would even prey on its own kind.

Therefore, the Deviljho is recognized as a powerful species that completely disrupts the balance of nature and is known as the "Gluttonous King of Terror." Once discovered, it must be hunted down.

As for Fujimaru Ritsuka, she also had a deep impression of the Deviljho. Firstly, because the Deviljho's appearance is similar to a gourd, it was jokingly called a gourd by players. Secondly, she remembered that it was quite difficult to fight in the game.

She personally felt it was harder than fighting Nergigante.

In addition...

She glanced at Reya almost imperceptibly.

Due to her performance in the game, her gluttonous nature which is somewhat similar to that of a Deviljho, and her glorious achievement of riding a Deviljho for several tens of minutes, she has earned the nickname "Deviljho Baby".

Although this nickname was given to her by many players who disliked her, she personally quite liked the nickname "Aibo the Glutton" and took a more playful attitude towards it.

Of course, there's no need to tell Reya about this nickname, lest she be hurt.

After all, it's somewhat accurate.

"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

Faced with the onslaught of Nergigante, Deviljho, one of the strongest Brute Wyvern species, showed no fear and launched a fierce counterattack.

Then he was knocked to the ground by a powerful palm strike from the sky by Nergigante!

"Bam—!"

The earth trembled violently, and the powerful impact created a shallow crater in the ground, raising countless clouds of dust.

After all, games are games, and reality is reality.

The Deviljho is a powerful monster known for its physical strength and voracious maw, but it is completely outmatched by the Elder Dragon Slayer, which is also known for its physical strength and close combat skills.

"Ouch! Ouch!!!!"

After being pinned to the ground, the Deviljho struggled to get up, but was held down by the Nergigante and had no way to get up.

Unable to get up, it opened its mouth and exhaled red and black gas, trying to release its breath, but Nergigante raised its hand again and delivered a heavy palm strike, interrupting its breath attack.

At the same time, the spikes on Nergigante's body shot out and mercilessly pierced into Deviljho's body. Unfortunately, Deviljho's skin, which was made of muscles, was very tough. The spikes on Nergigante's body could only penetrate shallowly into its body before falling off in Deviljho's struggle.

Seeing this, Nergigante took to the air again, as if it had given up.

The Deviljho seized the opportunity to quickly get up, turn its head and open its mouth to bite it, but the Nergigante had anticipated this and raised its hand, and actually inserted its right arm directly into the Deviljho's mouth!

Then, the thorns are released!

"Aww! @#￥%……!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 272 Hunting and Picnic

The hard, sharp thorns pierced deep into the Deviljho's soft mouth. This time, the Deviljho let out a shrill, incoherent scream before collapsing to the ground again, its body convulsing.

After a few more moments, the Deviljho's body finally stopped moving.

Exterminate Nergigante! Hunt successful!

"Roar--!"

Seeing that the Deviljho's life had come to an end, Nergigante roared triumphantly at its corpse before slowly enjoying its spoils.

"So strong..."

Seeing Nergigante so easily defeat Deviljho, Reya murmured in disbelief.

Nergigante is a rather mysterious ancient dragon. There is not much research on it yet, and little is known about its ecology, habits, and specific strength.

But the Deviljho was a monster they were very familiar with, and they knew very well how powerful and troublesome it was.

Even among the elite hunters of the Fifth Fleet, apart from Aiden and Baifeng from the recommended group, there were very few hunters capable of hunting Deviljho.

Yet this powerful monster was so easily defeated by Nergigante.

As expected of an Elder Dragon Slayer capable of hunting Elder Dragons.

After this battle, both Reya and Baifeng gained a completely new understanding of Nergigante's strength.

While expressing her feelings, Reya, as the editor, did not forget her job and skillfully took out her notebook to record the scene before her.

"...Although he is an Elder Dragon Slayer, his diet is not limited to Elder Dragons... He seems to selectively prey on monsters that disrupt the ecosystem..."

"Speaking of which, I wonder if Deviljho meat tastes good..."

Just then, Reya suddenly heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's curious murmur. After a slight pause, she replied to her with a serious expression:

"It doesn't taste good at all!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Reya's resolute answer, Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly surprised, and Reya then launched into a long explanation for her.

"The Deviljho was almost entirely covered in well-developed muscles, and its flesh was dry, tough, and very hard."

"More importantly, its meat has a very strong fishy and gamey smell that is difficult to completely eliminate. Unless it is for the necessary purpose of survival, it is not recommended at all!"

"This, this is it..."

Looking at the aggressive Reya in front of her, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt a little ashamed, but admired the professionalism she displayed.

Bai Feng smiled silently to the side; he was already used to Re Ya's behavior.

When it comes to the study of food, Thea could be considered the most outstanding researcher in the New World.

After all, her motto is "When in doubt, try eating," so she is often either eating or on her way to eat.

In fact, there were two important reasons why Thea aspired to become an editor and traveled to the New World.

Firstly, because her grandfather was a member of the first expedition team, and the descriptions of the New World by her grandfather captivated her.

Secondly, and most importantly, is her personal hobbies and aspirations—

She wanted to create a book dedicated to recording the flavors of food in the New World, so she took a special interest in studying food.

Furthermore, it seems that she has thoroughly researched the edibility of Deinonychus.

At this moment, Reya glanced at the Nergigante that was happily devouring its food, and couldn't help but pat her own belly, saying:

"Speaking of food, I'm actually a little hungry, even though I've been snacking."

"I was planning to go to the food court for lunch after the meeting, but I didn't expect these unexpected situations to occur."

At this point, she suddenly thought of something and enthusiastically suggested:

"How about I cook for everyone? Actually, I'm pretty good at cooking!"

Bai Feng nodded in agreement; Reya's cooking was indeed delicious.

But as soon as she finished speaking, Reya seemed to remember something, and frowned slightly in distress, saying:

"I was in too much of a rush this time, and I didn't prepare many things. I don't even know if the nearby safe camps have enough cooking utensils and seasonings..."

"I do have these things on me."

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand, and then, under Reya's surprised and curious gaze, took out various pots, pans, and seasonings from the [Treasury of the Subject], and said with a smile:

"But these are all kitchen utensils and seasonings from our area, I don't know if they will meet your needs."

"Kitchenware and seasonings from another world?!"

Reya's eyes sparkled; for a food lover and cooking enthusiast like her, nothing could be more attractive than what was before her.

"I really want to use them to cook a meal. Could you teach me how to use these seasonings?"

"of course."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and nodded:

"Although my cooking skills are average, I can help out."

"Really? That's great!"

Reya was so happy she almost jumped for joy, and then she couldn't wait to say to Bai Feng:

"Aibo, then I'll leave the food problem to you. Just look around here and see if there's anything good to eat!"

Bai Feng nodded in agreement, showing great familiarity with the task. Fujimaru Ritsuka also spoke to Meiliu Qina:

"You should go with Bai Feng too, but be careful."

"Well, I see."

Mei Liuqina nodded, and then set off with Bai Feng.

Fujimaru Ritsuka then began explaining the uses of each seasoning to Reya, but soon realized that it was unnecessary, because Reya would personally open and taste each seasoning, and then immediately understand.

A short while later, Bai Feng and Mei Liuqina returned, their hands laden with their spoils.

"It's mushroom pork!"

Seeing the ingredients they brought back, Reya exclaimed in surprise, then quickly made a plan, clapped her hands, and laughed:

"Let's make some barbecue then! Mushroom pork is incredibly fragrant when grilled; the meat is not only tender but also very juicy, with a wonderful mushroom aroma! *gulp*..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but swallow, and even Fujimaru Ritsuka was tempted by her words.

So, under Reya's direction, the group began to prepare the ingredients, set up the grill, and start a fire. After a while, the fragrant roasted meat was placed in front of everyone.

"Um--!"
