The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Jiang Yan looked at the piece of meat in his hand, his expression shifting.

He was now almost certain that he was indeed inside the body of some creature.

That tentacle monster from earlier was probably a parasite living inside this creature.

Amidst the fear, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.

The sweet, fishy smell that lingered around my nose had somehow transformed into an enticing aroma of meat.

The aroma wasn't strong, but it was incredibly penetrating, causing his stomach to rumble involuntarily.

Is this thing... edible?

Jiang Yan swallowed hard. Reason told him that this was crazy, but his taste buds were screaming wildly.

I glanced around and saw nothing but silence.

The tentacle monster seems to have left as well.

Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and then decided to trust his intuition.

He took out an alcohol stove and a lighter from his backpack.

Cut the meat into even, thin slices and carefully place them on the stove rack.

Then, the compatible alcohol stove was turned on, and the flame shot up with a "whoosh".

"Sizzle—"

The moment the slices of meat touched the fire, they made an enticing sizzling sound, and the oil dripped down the edges, splattering into tiny sparks on the flames.

The aroma of meat instantly filled the air, more than ten times stronger than before. It was a blend of the richness of beef, the freshness of pork, and a unique flavor that was hard to describe.

Jiang Yan's saliva had long since become an unbearable drool.

Once the meat slices are roasted until golden brown on both sides, sprinkle them with the salt you carry with you, and eagerly pick up a slice and stuff it into your mouth.

The moment you bite down, the tender meat almost melts in your mouth, and the rich juices burst forth, filling every taste bud.

It had no fishy smell at all, only pure freshness and aroma. The texture was more tender and smooth than any top-quality beef he had ever eaten, yet it was still chewy.

..............................

"Delicious...it's so delicious!"

Jiang Yan closed his eyes, almost groaning with satisfaction.

The tension and fear I felt earlier dissipated considerably in the face of this exquisite deliciousness.

After wolfing down all the grilled meat slices, Jiang Yan licked his lips with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Looking at the pale red 'walls' around him, Jiang Yan wished he could cut off another piece to eat.

But touching his round belly, he had to give up the idea in order not to choke to death.

After tidying up the alcohol stove, Jiang Yan gripped the kitchen knife again, his eyes showing more confidence.

No matter where this place is, at least... there's plenty of food, and it's top-notch cuisine.

After calming himself down, Jiang Yan began to walk along the light red passage.

Next, he will explore this place thoroughly.

The passageway is winding and twisting, with frequent forks in the road, like an endless corridor.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a patch of emerald green came into view.

Jiang Yan paused, his eyes filled with disbelief.

A tree is growing inside this space made of fleshy walls? Isn't that a bit too outrageous!

Jiang Yan walked over and found it to be a not-too-tall orange tree with lush foliage and emerald green leaves that shimmered in the dim light.

The branches were laden with heavy, bright orange tangerines, each one plump and round, looking exceptionally tempting.

"A tree growing inside a monster... This world is too outrageous."

Jiang Yan muttered to himself and strode forward.

I reached out and picked an orange; it felt heavy in my hand.

Its peel is smooth and firm, quite different from the soft texture of ordinary oranges.

"If meat is edible, then oranges should be edible too, right?"

As he spoke, Jiang Yan tried to peel the orange as usual, but when he applied force with his fingertips, the orange peel wouldn't budge and instead hurt his fingers.

..............................

"So hard?"

Jiang Yan glanced at the intact orange in his hand, somewhat annoyed, and simply brought it to his mouth to bite into it with his teeth.

His teeth rubbed against the orange peel, making a 'rustling' sound, and some fine powder stuck between his lips and teeth.

The intense saltiness exploded in my mouth instantly, followed by the unique sweet and sour taste of oranges.

The two flavors blended together surprisingly harmoniously, without being overpowering at all.

Jiang Yan was stunned. He quickly took out a kitchen knife and chopped the orange hard.

The blade embedded itself in the orange peel, making a crisp sound.

With Jiang Yan's effort, the orange was split in two, revealing the pulp inside.

The orange segments inside are made of crystal-clear orange-yellow crystals, like gemstones, refracting a dazzling light under the sun.

"Is this a salted orange?"

Jiang Yan looked at the crystal in his hand, his mind racing with thoughts.

Tentacle monsters, fleshy tunnels, edible "wall meat," and salted oranges in front of you...

These elements, like scattered puzzle pieces, gradually came together in Jiang Yan's mind.

He seemed to know what world he had entered.

Toriko

Jiang Yan's expression instantly became extremely strange.

A world centered around "food," a world filled with rare ingredients and terrifying beasts.

In the world of Gourmet Devil, the capture level of ingredients often represents their level of danger and deliciousness.

It takes ten fully armed soldiers to barely handle capturing a level 1 beast.

What's even more terrifying is that the world of Toriko is divided into the human world and the food world, with the human world being just the tip of the iceberg.

In the culinary world, there are countless monsters capable of destroying human civilization.

..............................

As for where he is now...

Looking at the pink fleshy walls around him, a terrifying conjecture took shape in Jiang Yan's mind.

He appears to be inside the Ligaloo mammoth now!

Adult Ligalo mammoths can reach a length of 1500 meters and have a capture rating of 48.

Inside the Ligaloo mammoth lies a top-tier ingredient hailed as an "ancient culinary treasure"—gem meat!

Jiang Yan's heart pounded wildly, a mixture of lingering fear and ecstatic joy.

What's frightening is that he actually entered the body of a beast with a capture level of 48.

If they met outside, he could simply lie down and wait to die.

He felt like the other person could blow him to death with a single breath.

But now he's inside the Ligaloo mammoth.

What made Jiang Yan even more fortunate was that although the Ligalo mammoth's internal organs were complex, apart from the presence of parasites in its stomach, the other areas seemed to be quite safe.

Therefore, he is now essentially in a relatively safe 'safe box', and there is also top-quality ingredient here—Gemstone Meat!

Thinking back to the "wall meat" he had grilled before, it was so delicious that it overturned his understanding of what was good.

So what kind of exquisite delicacy must the top-grade ingredient known as the "ancient culinary treasure"—Gemstone Meat—be?

Jiang Yan's eyes instantly turned fervent.

He was determined to taste what the gemstone meat was like.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Yan quickly picked the salted oranges from the tree one by one and put them into his backpack.

These salted oranges are not ordinary salt; using their powder for seasoning can definitely elevate the flavor of your ingredients to another level.

After finishing with the salted oranges, Jiang Yan's goal became crystal clear—to find the gem meat!
