Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group

"Wow, this is a shell shark! I didn't expect you to catch something like this, Qin Zhou. Unlike many sharks whose meat is unpalatable, this shark's meat tastes just like tender shellfish." Toriko said in surprise, looking at the shark that was over ten meters long.

The meat of the shellfish is very delicious, and even the shells, which resemble scales, can be sold. Some people use these shells as decorations, and the bones can be used to make a sweet and delicious seafood bone soup.

"It's perfect as an appetizer before enjoying pufferfish and whale meat."

"Indeed, I'll help you."

Chapter 26 Daigo: Monster!

"Mr. Coco, I'm counting on you from now on!"

Komatsu said solemnly that this was his first time encountering a pufferfish whale and he didn't know where to begin.

"Okay, let me give it a try."

Sensing Xiaosong's expectation, Coco felt ashamed. He wasn't very confident either. He wasn't a chef, and there were only about ten chefs known who could perfectly extract the venom sac from a pufferfish whale.

Holding the kitchen knife, Coco was highly focused, observing carefully with eyesight far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Tina held her camera, focusing on the pufferfish whale, and dared not breathe too loudly, for fear of disturbing Coco.

Qin Zhou and Alu dismembered the shellfish and began to enjoy sashimi.

The fresh, sweet, and chewy sashimi was delicious even without dipping sauce, and the two of them thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

The best help is to not interfere with Coco and the others.

[Dead Pilot]: "Mr. Qin Zhou, is this the monster you were talking about (°A°), @Star Forger."

[Dead Pilot]: "Golza Image.jpg;"

The image shows a giant monster tens of meters tall, with a muscular body that has a rock-like texture and exudes power. Its head looks like it's wearing a rock helmet, with a pointed head.

[Pink Fairy]: "Bigger than many Honkai Beasts, Daigo, your world looks dangerous."

[Ninja World Dance King]: "This size is among the best of the nine tailed beasts."

The Nine-Tails is 70 meters tall, and Golza is 62 meters tall.

[God of Justice]: "You're already capable of destroying a nation, aren't you?"

Perhaps only the demons in the Demon God Wars have this kind of size.

[Star Forger]: "This is the ancient monster Golza, known as the monster that shakes the earth. Thirty million years ago, there were many Golza, but now it is estimated that only this one remains on Earth."

Golza appeared twice in the Tiga world storyline. After being defeated the second time, it was thrown into a volcano by Tiga. Later, when Dyna appeared, it also beat Dyna up, almost making Dyna question his existence. It should be the same one.

This is a case of the older brother betraying the younger brother.

When I first saw Dyna, I noticed his familiar color scheme and took a closer look.

Golza (cautiously): Is it Digasang?

After confirming it wasn't my older brother, I was relieved. Time to get him.

Golza (arrogantly): What level are you? You have the same hairstyle as me.

Golza (arrogantly): What level are you? You paint my brother's clothes the same way.

Golza (arrogant): I'll give you a good slap in the face.

It feels great to have it clamped around my neck; so this is what it feels like.

Golza (smugly): You didn't expect that, did you? This move was taught to me by Tiga.

[Dead Pilot]: "Did it exist 30 million years ago? Can human weapons now deal with this Golza?"

Daigo fell into deep thought. Although he had just used a signal flare to scare Golza away, he knew that Golza would definitely appear again in the future.

A monster over sixty meters tall is a behemoth to humans; most weapons would probably only scratch the surface of Golza.

[Star Forger]: "Some weapons can deal with monsters. Did your GUTS team recently discover a meteorite from outer space?"

In the world of Ultraman Tiga, most weapons are only effective at scratching monsters, but some weapons can actually damage them, such as those powered by the Max Power System.

In the early stages of fighting monsters, Ultraman is the main force, while human weapons can be used to some extent in the later stages.

[Dead Pilot]: "A meteorite has indeed been discovered. The captain sent a message to notify us to assemble."

[Star Forger]: "The outer shell of the meteorite contains a product from 30 million years ago, which contains information that will be useful to you."

Qin Zhou didn't tell Daigo that he would become Ultraman Tiga right now, lest Daigo be elbowed and crashed, making it impossible to make soup.

After all, Ultraman is very idealistic. If he had known in advance, Daigo's mindset might have changed, which could have affected Tiga's arrival.

[Dead Pilot]: "I understand, thank you."

Coco is completely focused on handling the pufferfish whale.

The first one was poisoned without any surprise. If the cut was made even slightly off, it would have been poisoned instantly. Because it is so difficult to cook, the pufferfish whale is also listed as a special cooking ingredient.

The angle and depth of the cut will affect the final result.

Coco had just seen the venom sac, but the slightest tremor of her hands caused the pufferfish whale to become poisoned.

"Xiaosong, you can come now." Coco took a deep breath, his concentration so intense that he was already feeling mentally exhausted.

His hands began to tremble, and as he continued to cut, he was wasting the pufferfish whale.

"Huh? Me?" Komatsu was startled; he had never cooked a pufferfish whale before.

"Don't worry, Xiaosong. Compared to me, an amateur, you're a professional chef. Be confident. I'll be there to guide you. Believe in yourself," Coco encouraged with a smile.

Xiao Song's confidence soared, and he took out his kitchen knife. Coco couldn't help but exclaim, "What a fine kitchen knife!"

A chef's quality can be seen from his kitchen knife. The fact that he takes such good care of a kitchen knife shows how much Xiaosong loves his profession.

“Mr. Coco, I’m ready.” Komatsu took a deep breath and composed himself. This was the most challenging ingredient he had ever encountered since becoming a chef.

"Okay, start cutting along the tail fin..." Coco began instructing Komatsu.

Coco couldn't help but admire the skillful movements, thinking, "No wonder he's a master chef; that's what you call professional."

Although Komatsu's knife skills were excellent, he still made an unavoidable mistake, causing the pufferfish whale to become poisoned.

It's like defusing a bomb fuse; one wrong move and all your efforts will be wasted.

"Is this the poison sac?"

The tenth whale did not show signs of poisoning. Its body split open, revealing a purplish-black venom sac, bringing it one step closer to success.

"Next, you need to use your hands, being careful not to break the venom sac, to carefully remove the surrounding mucous membrane little by little."

Xiaosong swallowed hard, not daring to relax even slightly, after all, so much had already been wasted.

Gently, slowly...

The mucous membrane around the venom sac was gradually removed, and the venom sac was held in the palm of the hand.

The next moment, Komatsu swiftly and decisively peeled it out, leaving not a trace of venom in the pufferfish whale's body.

Wow—a golden legend!

The pufferfish whale, after having its venom sac removed, changes from white to a dazzling gold, shimmering like gold itself.

This golden pufferfish whale is worth 5 million on the market, and even the poisoned pufferfish whale can sell for 800 million on the black market, but it is prohibited from being sold, so it can only circulate on the black market.

It's extremely rare to find a pufferfish whale with its venom sac removed, so some people risk dying by eating poisoned pufferfish whales, only to perish after tasting the delicacy.

"Xiao Song, well done!" Coco praised.

There are fewer than 10 chefs in the entire world who can handle pufferfish and whales, and Komatsu is now one of those very few.

"We also owe a lot to Mr. Coco's guidance."

Komatsu was so excited that he danced around. This was a dish of pufferfish and whale! Even if he didn't eat it, the sense of accomplishment was incredibly satisfying.

"This is so exciting to be able to document the cooking of pufferfish whales," Tina said, holding her camera.

Although it's not just Komatsu who can handle this, she's probably the only one who can record the process.

Chapter 27 Staju

"Xiaosong, can we eat now?"

Toriko's mouth watered. The golden pufferfish whale looked incredibly delicious and tempting. This kind of delicacy should be made into sashimi to savor the most original flavor of the ingredients.

"Okay, just a moment, let me cut it."

After a simple processing by Komatsu, the thinly sliced, evenly cut sashimi was placed on green leaves, so translucent that it seemed as if light could pass through it.

"Let's eat! Let's toast with some pufferfish fin wine to celebrate the successful capture of the pufferfish whale."

Five people sat around a table with hot fish fin wine and pufferfish sashimi in front of them.

The spiciness of the hot wine perfectly highlighted the deliciousness of the pufferfish fins. Qin Zhou now understood why his master had such a fondness for this dish.

For someone like Jiro, who was addicted to alcohol, it was a very delicious drink.

"What beautiful meat! It shimmers with a pinkish glow, and the attached fat is like beef belly, making it look even more like whale meat." Qin Zhou picked up a few slices and examined them closely.

"I'm starting!" The group began to enjoy the sashimi of the pufferfish whale.

As you chew, the delicious flavor of the fat fills your mouth, sweet and delicious. Unlike large chunks of fatty tuna sashimi that melt in your mouth, this flavor is like pufferfish meat, becoming more and more fragrant with each chew, with deliciousness emerging continuously and aroma gradually becoming more prominent.

It's like a delicious experience as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, an endless and supreme happiness.

They all understood why some people would rather die than miss the taste of pufferfish, and why poisoned pufferfish circulated on the black market.

"It's so delicious! Pufferfish sashimi, a true delicacy!" Komatsu exclaimed, tears streaming down his face as he covered his cheeks with his hands.

Tina also joined the adventure. Although she almost died, it was worth it. Not only did she get to record so many wonderful moments, but she also got to eat such delicious sashimi.

"Haha, of course! The best food is the kind we catch ourselves and cook ourselves," Toriko laughed.

After consuming the pufferfish whale, Toriko's muscles trembled involuntarily, the fatigue from his previous battle with the demon serpent was completely wiped away, and his strength was also enhanced to a certain extent.

Seeing everyone's satisfaction and feeling this long-lost sense of emotion, Coco felt a pang of nostalgia and considered returning to her old profession as a gourmet.

Suddenly, a splashing sound rang out. The group looked over and saw a strange creature that walked upright and was covered in black fur.

With a sharp, anteater-like snout and an aura of terror and danger, he carried a net full of pufferfish whales, numbering in the dozens.

"GT Robot..."
