The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 125 Tasting Pufferfish Whale, GT Robot

Turning his gaze away, Jiang Yan began to cook the pufferfish whale after removing its venom sac.

First, the fins of the pufferfish whale are cut off, and then the pufferfish whale meat is removed from the bones.

The fish bones, from which the fish meat has been removed, are placed in a pot filled with water and brought to a boil over a heating magic circle.

Soon the broth began to boil and turned milky white, with a rich and savory aroma spreading with the steam.

At this point, Jiang Yan began processing the pufferfish and whale meat.

With each swift movement of the knife, slices of pufferfish and whale meat, translucent and as if sculpted from crystal, are neatly arranged on the plate.

The fish's fat marbling is as evenly distributed as fine snowflakes, and its aroma alone is enough to make one's mouth water.

After slicing the fish, Jiang Yan couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks and prepare to try eating sashimi.

Pick up a few slices of pufferfish and whale meat as thin as cicada wings and slowly put them into your mouth.

The moment he entered the mouth, Jiang Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and he froze on the spot.

The texture of the pufferfish and whale slices is similar to that of the most succulent and fatty tuna belly meat, perfectly blending with the rich and chewy whale meat.

It's soft and chewy with just the right amount of firmness.

With a gentle chew, the rich, savory flavor explodes in your mouth, layer upon layer, swirling and lingering on your tongue.

The more you chew, the richer and more mellow it becomes; the more you savor it, the more fragrant and intense it becomes.

As the tender fish meat slowly slid down his throat, Jiang Yan felt his muscles begin to heat up and swell, and his food cells became unusually active.

All the physical strength and fatigue I had previously expended were instantly restored at this moment, and my whole body was filled with inexhaustible energy.

After savoring the exquisite flavor of the pufferfish and whale sashimi, Jiang Yan was still not satisfied. He picked up a few more slices of pufferfish and whale and put them into the boiling pufferfish and whale bone broth next to him, gently scalding them for a few seconds.

The scalding hot broth coats the fish slices, turning the originally translucent raw fish slices white and tender.

When you put it in your mouth, the texture becomes even more delicate and smooth, but the chewiness is not diminished at all.

Furthermore, the richness of the broth and the sweetness of the fish intertwine, creating a flavor so delicious it makes your tongue tingle, offering a completely different and exquisite taste.

However, compared to eating raw fish slices, Jiang Yan still prefers fish slices that have been blanched in hot pot.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yan thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a seasoning that could match the deliciousness of the pufferfish whale.

After enjoying the delicious pufferfish whale, Jiang Yan took out the fine wine he had specially prepared and dipped the roasted, fragrant pufferfish whale fins into the wine for a while.

I picked up my glass and slowly took a sip.

The sweet and refreshing taste of the fish fins blends perfectly with the mellow flavor of the wine in the mouth.

The warm, smooth liquor slid gently down my throat, soothing and refreshing.

Every pore on my body seemed to open up at that moment, all distracting thoughts were washed away, leaving only satisfaction and bliss.

While Jiang Yan was indulging in the delicious taste of pufferfish, not far away, Toriko, Coco, and Komatsu were also enjoying pufferfish.

Originally, Komatsu only planned to make pufferfish sashimi.

--------------

After all, this way you can taste the freshest flavor of pufferfish and whale.

However, after seeing Jiang Yan's actions, Xiao Song simply tried making a pufferfish and whale bone broth.

With three pufferfish whales whose venom sacs had been removed, Toriko and his companions could enjoy the delicious meal to their hearts' content.

After tasting the pufferfish whale, Toriko turned his head to look at Komatsu, who was so excited that tears were welling up in his eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"How was it! How did it taste, the pufferfish whale that I caught and cooked myself?"

Upon hearing Toriko's question, Komatsu almost blurted it out, shouting loudly.

"It's so delicious!"

"This is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious food!"

Seeing Komatsu's genuine emotions, Toriko's smile grew even gentler, and he reached out and patted Komatsu's shoulder lightly.

"A dish that you catch with all your might and cook with your own hands is definitely the best."

Xiaosong nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

Yes! That's right!

Turning his head, Xiaosong looked at Jiang Yan, who was clearing away the dishes not far away, and asked him a question.

"Mr. Jiang Yan must feel the same way."

Jiang Yan looked up at Xiao Song, then nodded seriously.

"That's absolutely right."

Coco watched everyone quietly from the side, her eyes showing some fluctuation.

He suddenly had the idea of ​​continuing his work as a gourmet hunter.

Just as everyone was talking, a splashing sound of water suddenly came.

Everyone looked up at the sound and saw a creature with a bird-like beak and black fur step out of the sea and onto the shallows.

A chilling, ominous aura emanated from this creature.

----------

It was a cold, mechanical, lifeless sense of oppression—as if it were a physical weight, making it hard to breathe.

Toriko and Coco's expressions changed drastically in an instant, and they immediately went on high alert.

Even though Jiang Yan was somewhat prepared, he couldn't help but become wary after seeing the GT robot.

Although he knew in his heart that the GT robot in front of him was controlled by Staju, the deputy head chef of the Gourmet Club, and that its goal was only to take away the pufferfish whale, and that it would not take the initiative to attack them.

Even knowing the inside story, one cannot suppress one's physical instincts.

Almost instinctively, he stood up, his steps slightly faltering, his hands in a defensive stance, staring intently at G.

Robot T dared not be careless in the slightest.

"This guy—!"

Toriko growled, then shouted a reminder to Komatsu, who was still in a daze.

"Komatsu, get out of here right now! Get away from here!"

Komatsu had no time to react to Toriko's words and just stared blankly at the suddenly serious Toriko.

But at that moment, no one had the time to explain to him.

Toriko, Coco, and Jiang Yan were completely captivated by the jet-black GT robot.

The GT robot slowly turned its head, its cold gaze sweeping over Toriko, Coco, and Jiang Yan. It raised a hand and scratched its head, without pausing or launching an attack. It simply took the captured pufferfish whale and walked out of the underground cave without looking back.

Soon the GT robot disappeared into the shadows deep within the cave, and the suffocating sense of oppression gradually faded away.

The tense atmosphere finally eased only when the GT robot was completely out of sight.

"What was that thing just now?!"

Toriko frowned deeply, his expression extremely solemn, his gaze fixed on the direction where the GT robot had disappeared, lingering there for a long time.

Although I have fought against countless ferocious beasts, I have never felt such a strange and intense sense of crisis.

That aura didn't belong to any known creature; it was cold and hollow, instantly pushing his nerves to their limit.

"Never seen anything like it before—"

Toriko was filled with doubt.

Coco, standing to the side, was equally puzzled.

"That appearance—and that ominous electromagnetic wave—"

At that moment, Toriko suddenly remembered something and turned to Coco to ask her a question.

"That creature came from the deep sea, able to easily dive to depths of over a thousand meters! Do such creatures even exist?"

Coco slowly shook her head, her tone full of certainty.

"No, that thing—it's not a living being at all."

Even though the electromagnetic waves it emitted were strong and strange, Coco could still clearly distinguish that there were no magnetic field fluctuations that any living thing should have in them.

Jiang Yan stood aside, not intending to explain anything.

The Gourmet Club's GT robot is currently in a secret testing phase, and even IGO knows very little about it.

Saying it outright might arouse suspicion.

At this time, pretending to know nothing is the safest option.

After what happened with the GT robot, Toriko and Coco decided to leave immediately.

Xiaosong naturally had no objections, and Jiang Yan also planned for the three of them to travel together, since the pufferfish whale had already returned to the deep sea, and there was no point in staying any longer.

Thanks to having already figured out the route before entering, and with the help of Jiang Yan's magical light illumination, the four of them left much faster than when they entered.

After passing through the winding caves, it wasn't long before we saw the entrance to the underground cave.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the cave, the scene before them made Jiang Yan and his companions stop in their tracks.

A large number of people lay sprawled on the ground at the entrance, all unconscious, their fate unknown.

The only survivor was Tina, a journalist.
