Chapter 126 Target BB Corn

Jiang Yan and the other three walked up to Tina. Looking at Tina who was lost in thought, Xiao Song asked her with some concern.

"Miss Tina, are you alright?!"

Upon hearing Xiaosong's question, Tina gently shook her head.

"I'm fine—but—"

Tina looked at the people lying on the ground with a complicated expression.

Coco glanced at the fallen people.

"These are all robbers who covet the pufferfish whale and want to steal it along the way."

"So that's how it is."

At this point, Toriko understood the reason.

"He probably tried to steal the pufferfish whale that guy took earlier, but he got easily dealt with."

"All I can say is that we've messed with someone we simply can't afford to offend."

Jiang Yan remained calm; he had no sympathy for these robbers who sought to gain without effort and steal the fruits of others' labor.

"That's terrifying."

Coco looked very serious.

Although these bandits weren't top-tier in strength, their sheer numbers made them easy to deal with, demonstrating that the strange creature's power was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

After a brief exchange, the roar of a helicopter could be heard in the distance—IGO's rescue team had arrived.

Coco didn't want to face too many people, so she immediately said goodbye to everyone.

Jiang Yan also said a brief goodbye to Toriko and Komatsu and left.

In the following days, Jiang Yan did not continue to hunt for food, but instead tried to cook pufferfish whales.

Steaming, grilling, stewing —

Only after he was completely satisfied did Jiang Yan prepare to set off to hunt for new ingredients.

However, this time Jiang Yan wants to capture ingredients that are more difficult to obtain and rarer.

Jiang Yan recalled the various rare ingredients in the human world: BB corn, Century Thick Soup, Ozone Grass, Melk Star, Sweet Cola, and Shocking Apples —

After much deliberation and consulting numerous resources, Jiang Yan decided to go and capture BB Corn.

In fact, only BB corn is suitable for him to catch.

The century's thick soup, sweet cola, and startling apples are not yet ready to be caught.

Ozone grass can only be successfully captured by two people working together. Of course, it can be captured by one person, but it requires extremely strong strength, which Jiang Yan is not yet able to do.

As for Melk Star—

In fact, Jiang Yan initially planned to capture Melk Star.

It's a good time to find the second-generation Melk and ask him to forge a custom-made kitchen knife for me.

To Jiang Yan's dismay, despite trying various methods, he was unable to locate the mountain range where Melk was living in seclusion.

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

Upon further reflection, Jiang Yan understood the reason.

As the world's number one knife sharpener, Melker's skills naturally attracted the covetous eyes of many unscrupulous individuals.

The original Melk didn't care, after all, he was extremely powerful.

However, the second-generation Melk is not that strong, so the fewer people who know about his residence, the better.

Toriko was able to find Melk the Second Generation entirely because of IGO's intelligence; it wouldn't have been so easy for anyone else to find him.

"And Jiang Yan is obviously someone else."

Helpless, Jiang Yan had no choice but to give up searching for Melk Star and instead prepare to capture BB Corn.

However, baby corn is actually a very good ingredient.

BB Corn, full name BlueBloodCorn.

A single BB corn kernel is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and a whole ear of corn would cost at least one billion yuan.

BB corn has an overwhelming sweetness. Just one kernel, stir-fried over high heat until it bursts open, can instantly expand into enough BB popcorn for a hundred people to have a meal.

It was also a dessert exclusively for the nobility in ancient times.

Jiang Yan knew very well that the so-called "ancient gourmet aristocracy" referred to Blue Nitro.

In the world of Gourmet Delight, Blue Nitro is an extremely ancient creature.

The culinary cells on this planet were brought by Blue Nitro.

Blue Nitro's goal was to cultivate the entire menu of this planet, and for that, they had stayed on this planet for countless years.

The deliciousness of BB corn, which is served as a snack by Blue Nitro, is self-evident.

Of course, Blue Nitro eats the gourmet world's BB corn.

Baby corn grown in the human world is far less delicious than baby corn grown in the culinary world.

Even so, BB corn is definitely the top-tier ingredient among all the ingredients in the human world.

Having determined his goal, Jiang Yan did not hesitate any longer. He immediately packed his things and set off for the Wu Continent, the westernmost part of the human realm.

----------

After a whirlwind journey that took three full days, Jiang Yan finally arrived at the Continent of Wu in a specially hired helicopter.

By the time we reached the edge of the Forest of Wu, it was already getting dark, and the setting sun had painted the sky a brilliant golden-red.

Standing at the edge of the Forest of Wu, Jiang Yan looked at the lush and vibrant forest before him. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to wait until tomorrow to enter it.

The forest at night is not so safe, not to mention the Forest of Wu, which is known as a plant hell.

Although Jiang Yan did not enter the Forest of Wu, he still gained something.

At the edge of the Forest of Wu, there grows a large number of sponge cake trees, which are covered with fluffy sponge cakes and emit a rich, sweet aroma.

There are also salmon roe grapevines laden with bunches of salmon roe, and raffia trees bearing fruits that look like red lanterns —

Jiang Yan picked a lot of ingredients and had a hearty meal. After filling his stomach, he found a relatively safe and dry place, closed his eyes, and rested through the night without any dreams.

The next morning, the first rays of sunlight pierced through the gaps in the leaves and fell on Jiang Yan's face.

Jiang Yan opened his eyes, stood up, glanced around, and froze on the spot, looking completely bewildered.

The spot where he was originally resting was an open space, but overnight, it was completely covered by a dense forest of tall trees!

The Forest of Wu expanded wildly to his location overnight!

"So this is... the Plant Hell, the Forest of Earth...? What a vibrant life force!"

Jiang Yan couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

The plants here are incredibly vigorous, growing at a rate that defies logic.

All of this is inevitably related to BB Corn.

The entire Forest of Wu is actually the roots, stems, branches, and leaves of BB Corn, and all the nutrients will eventually be continuously transported to BB Corn.

-

Even if only a small part of the culinary world's ingredients like BB corn is revealed, it's still enough to amaze people.

"The culinary world is truly something to look forward to!"

Jiang Yan sighed.

Of course, he was well aware of the horrors of the culinary world.

Jiang Yan will not enter the culinary world until he is absolutely certain of his success.

After calming himself down, Jiang Yan casually picked some food, quickly filled his stomach, and then strode into the depths of the Wu Forest.

He had only gone a short distance when a pool of foul-smelling bird droppings suddenly fell from the sky and crashed down on him.

Jiang Yan moved lightly to the side and dodged, and with a "plop," bird droppings landed on the ground.

The next second, from among the bird droppings, a tender green seedling grew at a visible speed, sprouting branches and...

It grew leaves and flowers, and in just a few breaths, it grew into a man-eating flower that was half the height of a person.

Immediately, the carnivorous flower lunged at Jiang Yan, who was standing nearby.

Jiang Yan simply raised his hand and cleaved the man-eating flower in two with a single chop.

Having dealt with the immediate trouble, Jiang Yan didn't linger, continuing his journey deeper into the Wu Forest.

The surrounding air grew increasingly humid, and layers upon layers of branches and leaves completely blocked out the sky, with only a few scattered rays of sunlight struggling to penetrate the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled and shimmering spots of light on the ground.

As Jiang Yan ventured deeper into the area, he encountered more and more troubles.

The first to be affected are naturally the man-eating plants that are ubiquitous in the Forest of Wu.

Among them was the man-eating flower that Jiang Yan had encountered before, but the man-eating flower he encountered after going deeper into the Wu Forest was larger and more ferocious.

In addition, there are carnivorous plants with serrated, pointed leaves, sucker-like tentacles, and the ability to spray highly corrosive sap.

Jiang Yan avoided these man-eating plants as much as possible.

After all, these carnivorous plants have a vitality that defies common sense; even if they are chopped up, they will regenerate in a short time.

To completely eradicate them, the only way is probably to burn their roots and stems.

However, doing so is both physically demanding and time-consuming, making it a losing proposition.

Fortunately, the carnivorous plants we encountered couldn't move, so we just had to avoid them.
