Therefore, many people who have the hunter profession also have the chef profession, or have excellent cooking skills.

"Dark gourmet creatures are simply a blasphemy to life. Who can eat something so disgusting?" Blaze complained incessantly, with a very distorted expression on his face.

Herbie was a little amused. The boy had such an un-juvenile expression because while he was complaining, he was still groping to get some cream crab meat from the egg tart crab and put it into his mouth.

The creamy crab meat looks like it must taste very sweet, but it’s actually so salty that it makes your scalp tingle.

The reason why Blazer ate it even though he knew it tasted bad was not because he respected the life of the egg tart crab, but because he purely held an illusion that the egg tart crab might not be salty enough and might even be sweet in some places.

Unfortunately, he took several bites and found that there was no sweetness at all.

"At least a little lighter, not so salty."

Blaze was crestfallen.

"Okay, okay, in the cruel natural ecological evolution, aren't there also people who make themselves unpalatable in order to avoid being eaten?" Hebi comforted.

"For example?"

"For example...eh..." Hebie couldn't think of a suitable example for the moment, but she had her own solution.

That was to pat Blaze on the face and tell him not to think too much.

"So what should we do with these three egg tart crabs? Are we just going to leave them here?"

"Don't worry, this gourmet continent is also natural and has its own circulation method." Tammy said. She asked the two to stay away from the egg tart crab and observe from a distance.

After the three of them distanced themselves from each other, the body of the Egg Tart Crab actually sank slowly, disappearing without a trace as if being swallowed by the earth, and then changes occurred.

The earth that absorbed the Egg Tart Crab changed rapidly, and the rock structure changed into a structure similar to that of crispy egg tart crust.

"This is the special natural cycle of this gourmet continent. Dead gourmet creatures will be absorbed by the earth, and the structure of the earth will change to be similar to the absorbed gourmet creatures."

Tammy gave an example. The original Gourmet Continent was just a simple continent with soil and trees. Compared with other regions, the only special feature was that "you can eat everything".

Rocks can be eaten directly, trees can be chewed directly, and they can be digested after entering the stomach.

Apart from this, there is nothing special about the Gourmet Continent compared to other regions.

And now there are cake mountains and pudding quagmires, as well as a variety of rich food environments. This is because the food monsters created by foreigners were absorbed by the earth.

This is due to the rapid evolutionary ability of Adam's flesh and blood, which requires the map of the Gourmet Continent to be updated frequently, otherwise it will be useless after a few days.

But this is also the main cause of the salinization crisis. The Food Continent itself does not have the ability to judge what is good and what is bad. It just exists as a huge vitality.

When the overly salty egg tart crab was absorbed by the earth, what was produced was an overly salty egg tart crust environment, and an overly salty egg tart crust environment would only give birth to overly salty gourmet creatures.

Good things will give birth to more good things, and bad things will give birth to more bad things.

The only solution that the Gourmet Research Association can think of at the moment is to hunt down the dark gourmet creatures and then send their bodies to a place far away from the Gourmet Continent.

After discovering the salinization crisis caused by the ocean, the Gourmet Research Association launched this series of tasks after observation, which indeed effectively alleviated the rate of salinization.

Blaze's mission is to kill all the dark gourmet creatures in this completely salty inland sea and transport away all the bodies of the dark gourmet creatures without leaving a single one behind.

The main target is the BOSS-level dark gourmet creature that occupies the inland sea.

"Now that things have come to this, I would like to ask, how do you deal with the bodies of the dark gourmet creatures?" Blaze asked.

"Just discard them and burn them." Tammy showed a regretful expression, "They are gourmet monsters, they are already cooked food. Think about how to deal with a dish that doesn't taste good."

"Unpalatable vegetables can be recycled into fertilizer or feed, but dark gourmet creatures are too unpalatable. Take the dark creatures in this saline area for example. The salt content is too high and there is no way to reuse them."

"Wow~" Blaze pinched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Do you know what I learned from the strangers?"

"You have learned so much from foreigners. How do we know which one it is? Tell us quickly and don't learn Kullene's bad habits." Hebi bumped Blaze's shoulder with his head without giving him any face.

"[Crisis is also an opportunity], the salinization crisis has already begun to take shape, but this crisis is for us."

"Isn't salt also a form of mineral?" Blaze picked up a stone from the ground, which was covered with salt crystals.

“We can’t eat it, but there are always [people] who can eat it.”

"Ah." Herbie reacted, "It's the treasure miner!"

Chapter 1587 On a Dinner Table

If there was a ranking list in this world that ranked races according to their uniqueness, then the race called the treasure miners would definitely be at the top, competing with the platypus.

Baokuangren are natural mineral life forms whose bodies are composed entirely of rare minerals.

A heart of orichalcum, blood of mithril, and a body of crystal, as well as other metal structures that appear depending on the individual.

In a sense, the miners are the most perfect creatures in the world, with almost no natural enemies and feeding on minerals.

Ordinary stones can fill the stomach, while rare metals can enhance strength.

However, due to their peculiar body structure, the treasure miners are often hunted. The rare metals that make up their bodies are of top quality whether used for forging weapons or making magic props.

To this day, the main bodies or cores of some weapons and magic props handed down from ancient times can still be seen to be made using the limbs of the treasure miners.

In the past, because their overweight souls would destroy the balance of weight and cause the world to turn upside down, the Baokuang people volunteered to become the center of the world and sleep in World D, which was once the bottom of the world.

Now, the authority of the earth and the sun has been exchanged. Although the earth-shaking changes are still a disaster, there is no need to sacrifice people to stabilize the world like in the past.

Now the Treasure Miners have reappeared in this beautiful world as old friends of the Giant Kingdom and new allies of the Giant Kingdom Alliance.

The treasure miner city is now located in world B.

The Baominers have almost no natural enemies, but they have some survival problems. Their food is stones and minerals. It seems that they will never lack food, but the problem is that the stones and minerals they eat will not turn into excrement, but will be directly consumed by the Baominers as energy for their activities.

So the treasure miners have another nickname, the Earth Devourers.

However, it is basically impossible for the small number of treasure miners to eat up the earth, so this nickname is just a joke.

Jokes aside, the food problem for the miners is indeed a big problem. Stones can only maintain the minimum level of consumption. If they only rely on stones for activities, they need to eat a lot of stones. The most suitable food is still ore.

But ore is a very useful resource, and eating it as food is the most wasteful way to use it.

The food problem of the treasure miners has always been a headache for the giant royal family, and the headache for the guests is the shortcomings and opportunities of the merchants, but even [Hermes's Traveling Hat] can't think of a solution for the time being.

Kullene once came up with a bad idea to use the magic of summoning meteorites to pull meteorites from outer space. Of course, this bad idea was unanimously opposed by the senior partners of [Hermes's Travel Hat], as meteorite magic was a magic that was expressly prohibited from being used at will.

Are you kidding me? Just to solve the problem of food for the miners who don't know how many years from now, you casually use the magic of summoning meteorites.

Now Blazer has given a better solution, and it is a solution that kills two birds with one stone. It can not only solve the pollution of the gourmet continent by the salty dark gourmet creatures, but also solve the food problem of the treasure miners.

"But is salt considered a mineral?" Hebie pinched a salt crystal, her face full of doubt. She didn't want to be happy for nothing.

"Just because salt melts and absorbs easily doesn't mean it's not a stone," Blazer said, giving a few examples. "For example, mercury is a liquid metal. I've heard there are other metals that can melt with just the temperature of your palm."

"Yeah, that makes sense. It won't hurt to try anyway."

Herbie turned to look at Tammy, who nodded.

"If there are any salted dark gourmet creatures that have not been disposed of, I will arrange for their transportation immediately."

"Thank you for your help." After receiving the task, Tammy left immediately. Her steps were light and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Herbie breathed a sigh of relief. It would be a good thing if the treasure miners could accept salt ore as food.

She jumped up with joy, put her arms around Blaze's neck and started shaking him, wanting to ask this great hero how he thought of the treasure miner. After all, the treasure miner's existence was quite rare, and she would forget about it from time to time.

"..."

Blaze pinched his chin and turned his head away. He was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly.

"The treasure miners... can't eat normal food."

"That seems to be the case."

The Baokuang people can eat stones, ores, and all inorganic substances, and convert them into the energy needed for their own activities.

The Baokuang people, who have such a strong way of survival, cannot eat organic matter. Perhaps God is fair, allowing the Baokuang people to go to the extreme on one path, which is far away from the other path.

Organic matter, that is, food in the usual sense, cannot be absorbed by the Baominers. It will only be stored in their bodies, rot, and even erode their bodies, which is referred to as stomach upset.

Moreover, the treasure miners do not have the "sense of taste" in the popular sense. Stone tastes like stone, and gold tastes like gold, which is completely different from the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty tastes summarized by humans.

“It would be nice if we could all eat together.”

"Eh?"

Blaze's unexpected answer made Herbie stunned.

"No... that's right. The diet of the treasure miners is destined to prevent them from eating together with normal life." Blaze scratched his cheek and explained, "Look, if they eat together, humans have food with good color, fragrance and taste, while the treasure miners have all kinds of minerals."

"Can you imagine how awkward that scene would be? The food we eat is not on the same level, can it be considered eating together?"

"It seems to be the case." Herbie thought about what Blaze said. It was indeed a very embarrassing scene.

Eating stones and vegetables at the same time, whether the dust raised by the stones floats to the vegetables or the soup from the vegetables splashes onto the stones, it will make both parties extremely embarrassed.

The most important thing is that there will be a sense of alienation as if both parties are strangers and not in the same world.

"You are turning a crisis into an opportunity." Herbie said helplessly and patted Blaze's waist hard.

“It has become happiness.”

"Oh, that's right. A crisis can lead to misfortune, or be caused by misfortune. So only by resolving the crisis can we avoid misfortune and bring happiness."

Blaze put his hands on his hips and looked at the inland sea below with a laugh.

"Then I will work hard for the happiness of the treasure miners who can sit at the same table with humans and eat without any sense of disobedience!"

"Oh! Great effort!" Herbie cheered with his fist raised in unison with Blaze.

Although it was not known whether the Baominers could accept the salt ore, Herbie could feel the possibility of success so strongly.

It’s really exciting.

Chapter 1588 Real Damage

Although Tammy has not given a precise response yet, Blaze and Herbie have already started hunting the salty dark food monster.

In less than ten minutes, Blaze and the chicken wiped out a circle of salty dark gourmet creatures around the inner sea and piled them up in one place.

According to the research of the Gourmet Research Association, the Gourmet Continent will directly devour and assimilate the defeated gourmet creatures, but this is conditional, that is, the defeated gourmet creatures must directly come into contact with the Gourmet Continent.

If only, even just a thin layer of cloth was laid to separate the food monster and the food continent, it would prevent the food monster from being swallowed by the food continent.

Herbie pulled out an oversized sheet of cloth, and Blaze piled the defeated dark gourmet creatures on it.

There was a [small episode] in the middle, that is, Eclipse Armor's execution skill - [Dinner of the Goddess of Death] was triggered, and the dark gourmet creatures piled up into a hill, Blaze, and Hebie were pulled into the dinner plate of the goddess of death Hela.

Before Blaze could stop her, Hela, with green eyes, grabbed the crab tart and threw it into her mouth.

I have to admit that the crab egg tart looks really good. Not only is the crystal white [icing], but the sticky cream inside also makes it look incredibly delicious.

So Hela was caught off guard, and even her taste buds were fully awake, ready to fully enjoy the delicious food.

As a result... Blaze understood two things.

First of all, there is no absolute invincibility in this world. Secondly, using dark food to attack the enemy, especially throwing strangers into the enemy's mouth, is extremely evil.

In summary, even if Hela is invincible in Helheim, she cannot ignore the salty taste exploding in her mouth.

Hela was so salty that she cried. She opened her mouth, but was unable to speak because of the extremely salty taste.

She couldn't close her mouth or speak. Once she closed her mouth, the salty taste in her mouth would continue to spread due to the rising temperature.

Blazer and Herbie hurriedly found a lot of water and rinsed Hela's mouth repeatedly to alleviate the problem.

This moment was probably the most embarrassing and aggrieved day for Hela, the goddess of death and the mistress of the underworld of Helheim.

Of course, solving the salty taste in Hela's mouth does not solve the problem. After all, the big problem is that Hela has eaten real dark cuisine.

This is a genuine assassination of the mistress of the underworld of Helheim.

Although it was Hela who arbitrarily thought that it was time for the dinner and started the party, Blaze also started the dinner party after preparing a lot of food in the past.

This time, Hela saw that Blaze was still piling up food and thought it was enough, so she took the initiative to open it.

In short, Blaze felt that it was his fault for not explaining the situation in advance, so when facing the death goddess Hela's first tearful look at her being salty, he apologized in panic and earnest, saying that he would definitely give Hela compensation that would satisfy her - an absolutely luxurious feast of gourmet monsters.

After Hela pursed her lips and raised three fingers, and Blaze nodded in agreement with sweat on his forehead, Hela's expression finally looked better.

Of course, the three fingers do not mean three meals, but thirty years. He has to provide Hela with a feast of gourmet monsters for thirty years.

Think about it, Hela has lived for countless years, and has always remained invincible both physically and mentally, while the Egg Tart Crab brought by Blaze directly dealt real damage, causing double damage to her body and mind, leaving Hela with a shadow that will never be erased.

It is only natural that Blaze will be held responsible for this trauma for thirty years.

What problems have not been solved yet? Blazer feels helpless about having to bear the 30-year food loan, but he has no choice but to move forward with the burden.
