Douluo Continent: Gourmet Prisoner

Chapter 73 Regional Overlord, Snickers Tyrannosaurus Rex

The three of them walked through the broken chocolates, amidst the rich aroma of cocoa, towards the center of this dragon realm.

Shi Yu carried half a piece of omnivorous dragon rib that had been gnawed into a pitted and uneven shape—the rib was peeled open to reveal the membrane of milk chocolate, and when bitten into, strawberry jam would ooze out.

Huo Yutong was holding a vegetarian dragon's tail in her arms, and would take a bite from time to time as she walked. Blueberry jam oozed from the center of the tail.

Zhu Lu squatted to the side, her fingertips glistening with icing sugar, as she stuffed a piece of caramel-filled nut chocolate meat from a caramel dragon into her mouth. The crunching sound as she bit into it was enough to make anyone's teeth ache.

After days of capturing, studying, and consuming food—primarily food—the three discovered that these three types of dinosaurs also had differences.

Vegan dragons are generally chocolates of various flavors, with soft or jam-filled centers, while powerful vegan dragons may also contain nuts.

Some parts of the omnivorous dragon's body may be made of other flavored chocolates, but those parts do not have fillings. The body is mainly made of dark chocolate, with soft and creamy fillings, and contains nuts.

Carnivorous dragons are made of dark chocolate, with a caramel and liqueur filling inside, and also contain nuts.

But they all have one thing in common: their skeletons are all made of white chocolate.

"This is truly a paradise for dessert lovers!" Shi Yu mumbled, wiping the chocolate from the corner of her mouth.

Huo Yutong nodded in strong agreement.

Zhu Lu chewed on a caramel-filled chocolate, her eyes shining: "Shi Yu, how delicious do you think the true owner of this forest must be?"

Just as Shi Yu was about to reply, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled slightly.

It wasn't the heavy tremor of a carnivorous dragon stomping its feet, but rather a rhythmic, low rumble, as if some enormous creature was breathing underground.

The aroma of cocoa in the air suddenly became several times stronger, mixed with a hint of caramel sweetness and roasted peanut fragrance, sweet but not cloying, making one's tongue tingle.

Shi Yu suddenly lowered his voice, searched the ribs into the soul tool, and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds. "There's movement. This is a big guy."

Huo Yutong's body tensed instantly, and her Martial Soul, the Snow God Moth, appeared beside her. Zhu Lu also put away her joking expression, her Martial Soul possessing her and ready to unleash its power.

The three of us exchanged glances and carefully parted the vines hanging down in front of us, adorned with chocolate buds—buds that would burst open at the slightest touch, oozing sweet, sticky syrup.

The next second, all three of them froze on the spot, their breathing slowed down, and they were extremely excited.

Before them lay a vast, circular valley, in the center of which sat a colossal beast.

This is a chocolate Tyrannosaurus Rex. Not far from it, there is a nest made of chocolate, containing several chocolate eggs.

Judging from the aura of this Tyrannosaurus Rex, it is clearly the leader of this area.

Its skin is smooth, brownish-red, with a rich chocolate sheen, but it has vein-like protrusions on its body, and it exudes the sweet aroma of caramel and roasted peanuts.

Oh my god, just smelling this makes my blood sugar spike.

As the dominant species here, its fragrance is quite satisfactory.

It protected the egg behind it and let out a low growl at Shi Yu. In its eyes, Shi Yu was a real threat to it.

If Zhu Lu and Huo Yutong's life energy is a torch, then Ji Yu's life energy is a miniature sun.

It did not attack the three of them, but gave a low growl warning them not to come closer.

It is the ruler here, but it is also a mother?

You ask me why it's a question?

Please, do these chocolate creatures really have genders?

Do you know how shocked Shi Yu and the others were when they saw a herbivorous dragon clan all laying chocolate eggs?

How about that? Isn't your food cell amazing?

Along with the roar came the overlord's voice transmission, clearly indicating that this was a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Humans, leave quickly and I will not attack you." A deep voice echoed in the minds of the three.

This is a threat from a regional hegemon, and also a plea from a "mother".

Whether it wins or loses this battle, it is an undeserved disaster for it.

This area is home to the Oviraptor, a thief that all dinosaurs loathe—not the one wronged by humans, but the real Oviraptor.

They are gregarious dragons, and every theft is a perfect group crime. They are incredibly patient thieves; once they have their eyes on an egg, as long as the "mother" of the egg is not paying attention for even a moment, the egg will be stolen by them.

In the past, this regional hegemon would not have acted this way; it would have chosen to fight the other party to defend its position as the regional hegemon.

But not now. Its eggs have been targeted by those damned thieves. The incubation period for chocolate dragon eggs is very short, only a month, but that month is also very long.

If the opponent is also a chocolate dinosaur, it will be happy to accept it, after all, this is a unique ability of chocolate dinosaurs. Herbivorous dinosaurs can recover faster by eating vegetables, and carnivorous dinosaurs can also recover faster by eating meat.

As the overlord of this forest, his strength allows him to be unafraid of any other challengers within it.

But alas, he was invincible in the world, yet an enemy came from the heavens.

The human in front of me is not the kind of person who is easy to bully.

It's even the kind of thing you can easily bully.

Whether it wins or loses this fight, it will not benefit it, especially since there is currently virtually no chance of victory.

It can only hope that by displaying this power, it can make them feel that they are not good enough, and thus retreat.

This is clearly an impossible thing.

How could such a powerful being fail to sense its life energy?

It is ready to fight to the death.

But it's clear that Shi Yu's thinking is beyond its comprehension.

Zhu Lu and the others couldn't understand Shi Yu's thinking. How could its chocolate-filled brain possibly comprehend Shi Yu's divine mind?

"Let's make a deal, the strongest one here."

Hagiyu, you idiot, you could have bought it for free, why did you have to make a transaction?

"A deal? What kind of deal?" Upon hearing Shi Yu's words, the Chocolate Tyrannosaurus Rex was first shocked, then overjoyed. Having something to talk about meant that this inevitable defeat could be avoided.

Of course, it did not let its guard down, because it was not the one in control of this deal. If the other party's words were just meant to humiliate it, then it should be prepared to fight to the death.

"I want to make a deal with you. I want to trade ten chocolate dinosaurs for your dragon tail."

"What did you say?!"

"Madam, because of the Oviraptor, you must have difficulty even hunting. You wouldn't want your child to be stolen by the Oviraptor when you're hungry and thirsty and go hunting, would you?"
