Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

However, this still costs a lot of money.

In the end, you might actually lose money.

Therefore, it is naturally not advisable to purchase ingredients from the wild on a large scale.

Buying ingredients from IGO also costs money.

However, all things considered, it is actually more cost-effective.

In addition, there are ingredients grown and raised on their own.

Therefore, people in these countries do not lack food.

However, these IGO member countries do not organize large numbers of people to purchase food in the wild.

However, some skilled gourmet hunters still frequently venture into the wild in search of rarer ingredients.

Some of the ingredients they found were eaten by the food hunters themselves.

Another part of this involved the sale of these food items.

Naturally, they were bought by those with power or money.

Therefore, for the country's top leadership...

They will still not lack for more sophisticated and delicious food.

So over time, these IGO member countries stopped organizing large numbers of people to purchase wild food.

It's completely unnecessary! And it's easy to end up losing more than you gain.

Chapter 29 Dangers in the Wilderness, Ximen Yan's Warning

Although Ximen Yan purchased a large amount of ingredients.

However, Ximen Yan also discovered that the ingredients he obtained were not particularly rare.

Ximen Yan was unaware of the rare ingredients found nearby.

However, it has already been looted by numerous gourmet hunters.

The reason is unclear.

However, Ximen Yan understood that if he wanted to obtain even rarer ingredients, he needed to venture deeper into the wild.

So after Ximen Yan finished looting the Mushroom Jungle.

They then continued to venture deeper into the wilderness.

Subsequently, Simon encountered a hamburger called Clover, which consisted of two slices of bread, a meat patty, and a slice of cheese.

There were also some French fry butterflies with wings shaped like fries fluttering around the hamburger grass.

Then I encountered a rice bowl tree that bore many kinds of hot rice bowl fruits, such as pork chop rice bowl, fried shrimp rice bowl, beef rice bowl, etc.

These delicacies were a real treat for Ximen Yan.

Of course, I also collected quite a lot along the way.

These are all foods that can be eaten directly.

This will solve his problem of eating outdoors.

After that, Ximen Yan found some chocolate rocks, marshmallow rocks...

Sure enough, as we ventured deeper into the wild, the variety of ingredients not only became rarer but also more abundant.

This also means that the quality of the ingredients being caught is also improving.

The danger is naturally much greater.

For example, some carnivorous plants look no different from ordinary vines.

However, when people pass by, it will coil around them like a snake.

Ximen Yan was caught off guard and became entangled by the vines.

What frustrated Ximen Yan even more was...

While the flames were effective against these vines, the effect was not particularly significant.

In terms of fire resistance, it's even stronger than steel!

Furthermore, there are many of these vines, and their binding force is very strong.

Watching the vines that kept wrapping around me under the flames.

Ximen Yan immediately realized that he would probably be strangled by the vines before his flames burned them all.

Helpless, he could only escape from the vines by relying on his 'Fire Release' ability.

Otherwise, it would have become fertilizer for the vines.

Furthermore, his fire attacks are not very effective against some creatures!

……

Later, Ximen Yan also encountered a group of lions with unicorn horns on their foreheads.

And it guards a chicken leg tree.

The large chicken legs hanging from the chicken leg tree caught Ximen Yan's attention.

It looks delicious!

Ximen Yan only attempted to attack the group of unicorn lions.

He then hurriedly ran away.

In fact, if it were just a one-horned lion...

He can solve it if he puts in the effort.

However, this group of unicorns numbered twelve.

If a fight really breaks out.

He might manage to kill one or two, but he himself could perish here.

Therefore, he had no choice but to give up on that chicken leg tree.

This experience left Ximen Yan with lingering fear.

I also corrected my somewhat arrogant mindset.

And Ximen Yan also noticed it.

He had previously overestimated his own abilities.

Combat strength is actually an evaluation of his overall capabilities, and it is not the same as his attack power.

His overall strength might actually have reached the capture level of over 20.

But what really boosted its rating was the 'Fire Release' teleportation ability.

In fact, thanks to the 'Fire Release' teleportation ability.

Even capturing creatures of level 20 or 30 is something he can't do anything about.

So it's not wrong to say that he has a capture level of over 20.

However, it's also unlikely that he can kill a creature with a capture level of 20 or 30.

Even some creatures with strong defenses and a capture level below ten are not so easy for him to capture.

Unless this creature is extremely afraid of fire.

However, Ximen Yan was only slightly depressed.

After all, for him, the ability to survive is more important than offensive capabilities.

As for strength, as long as he can keep eating...

It's not impossible for them to reach the level of star-destroying combat power in the future.

So we can't afford to be reckless now.

……

Looking at Gerard, a five-headed bird-like monster, who was resting in a small open space not far away.

Ximen Yan hesitated for a moment.

He had just said he wouldn't be reckless, but now he'd encountered such a prey, leaving him in a real dilemma.

Gerard the Monster Bird has a capture level of 15.

Ximen Yan wasn't very confident that he could successfully capture it.

After all, there had been previous battles.

He realized that he was strong enough to deal with creatures below level 10 in terms of capture ability.

He can remain undefeated even when facing creatures of level 20 or 30.

But that's all.

So now Gerard, the strange bird whose capture level has reached fifteen, is really troubling him!

However, judging from its long neck, it must have as many as five!

The method of making spicy chicken necks will make it absolutely delicious.

Although its wings cannot enable it to fly, they are larger than a human's when spread out.

You can make it according to the recipe for spicy chicken wings.

Its round body is like a ball, so its flesh must be very plump and delicious.

The more Ximen Yan looked at Gerald, the more he wanted to taste him.

In the end, Ximen Yan couldn't resist the temptation of the food and prepared to make a move.

Of course, Simon Yan wouldn't be foolish enough to run out and confront the strange bird Gerard head-on!

There are many methods you can use to catch ingredients.

For example, a sneak attack!

They carefully moved behind the strange bird Gerald.

Ximen Yan pulled out a long knife, which he had bought in Linard City with the money he earned from selling grape spider eggs.

The flames covered the blade.

Taking a deep breath, Ximen Yan charged toward the strange bird Gerard.

The vibrations from running woke Gerald the strange bird.

As it raised its five bird heads to check the situation.

Ximen Yan had already arrived beside the strange bird Gerard.

The knife in his hand was swung out quickly.

They directly severed one of Gerald's bird heads.

Then, Ximen Yan suddenly leaped onto the strange bird Gerard, and slashed at another raised bird head with his long sword.

However, this attack missed.

Just before the bird's head was about to be chopped down, it quickly ducked to avoid the attack.

Undeterred, Ximen Yan brandished his longsword once more and continued his attack.

But at that moment, Gerald the bird suddenly stood up and swayed his body.

Unable to stand steadily, Ximen Yan had no choice but to jump off it.

Chapter 30 'Strategic Retreat' - Ximen Yan

"Gah..." X4

Gerald the Monster Bird roared at Simon Yan with its remaining four bird heads.
