Chapter 285: Recovery After the Battle, Rewarding Himself With Two Pairs of Large Pincers
It was already the afternoon of the next day when Klein woke up.
The battle this time was completely different from the previous few times.
Although the bosses he had encountered in the previous few times were more powerful, and there were also mysterious experts who were suspected to be above tier 8, it still couldn’t compare to the damage to Klein’s mental strength this time.
After all, this time, Klein had been on the brink of death three to four times.
The immense pressure between life and death was enough to completely crush a person’s spirit, not to mention that this time, Klein had experienced three to four times. Each time, he was in a crisis of certain death.
This was especially true for the last elemental explosion.
If Klein didn’t make a decisive decision, the heaven and earth elements stirred by a half-step natural disaster would definitely destroy the entire space in the catacomb.
At that time, not to mention whether or not the Rogue Archer would survive, even he himself would die!
Klein lay on his bed and thought about his encounter. He felt a lingering fear, but now, it seemed like everything was very lucky!
Klein sat up and looked around.
To Klein’s surprise, Little Wind and Little Fox weren’t by his side.
Then, he looked at the sky and guessed that it was already afternoon.
He had been sleeping since last night. It seemed like he was very tired this time.
Klein rubbed his rumbling stomach and stood up to prepare food.
When he came to the kitchen, just as Klein was about to start the pot, Little Wind and Little Fox, who were playing outside, heard the sounds.
They rushed in one after another, staring at Klein with their big eyes filled with anticipation.
Looking at the two beasts, Klein couldn’t help but shake his head. They wouldn’t be themselves if they were hungry. There was a lot of food in the warehouse. It seemed like the two beasts were hungry!
It seemed like he couldn’t deal with them even if he wanted to.
After all, the two beasts were no longer the same as before. After evolution, their appetites were like bottomless pits.
To satisfy them, the amount of pots and pans in front of them was far from enough.
The two beasts seemed to have seen through Klein’s thoughts of slacking off, so they looked at Klein with eager eyes as saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths.
Seeing the two beasts in such a state, Klein shook his head helplessly.
The two beasts had been of great help to Klein during this period of time.
First was Little Wind. Due to its strong control, he had allowed him to dodge the Armored Scorpion’s fatal blow. Furthermore, it had successfully knocked off one of the Armored Scorpion’s large pincers.
Then, Little Fox.
This time, Little Fox had performed extremely well. She had suppressed the half-step natural disaster in the sky with his Endless Sword. In order to do this, Little Fox had risked her life.
If not for Little Fox’s bravery, this catacomb might not even exist.
When he thought of this, Klein still had some lingering fear in his heart. Clearly, he knew that he had taken too much of a risk this time!
“Good! Both of you performed very well this time. Let’s have an extra meal!”
Klein looked at the two beasts and spoke with a smile.
When the two beasts heard Klein’s words, they couldn’t help but jump up.
Compared to the Food Klein made, the dry rations they ate were difficult to swallow. They could only fill their stomachs!
To the two little gluttons, being able to eat Klein’s delicacies once again was no less than a pleasant surprise from the heavens.
Looking at the two beasts’ happy expressions, Klein shook his head.
Although Klein wasn’t a chef in his previous life, he had lived in the catacombs world for so long that he had honed his culinary skills to the point of perfection.
Perhaps this wasn’t anything extraordinary in his previous life, but to a place as savage as the catacombs world, this was the best food in the world!
Of course, Klein was preparing to cook not only for them, but also to reward himself.
After all, there was nothing more relaxing than eating a delicious meal after a great battle.
As for food, the Armored Scorpion that had died outside was definitely a good choice.
As for the Rogue Archer and Harpy, Klein had never thought of using them as food.
Perhaps both of them were humanoid creatures. Klein had a natural resistance to such creatures.
Fortunately, the Armored Scorpion was large enough for them to enjoy a delicious meal.
With this in mind, Klein packed his things, took the barbecue tools, and walked out.
He set them up in the open space and took out something to shade them from the scorching sun.
Then, he brought the two beasts to the Armored Scorpion.
The Armored Scorpion had been split in half by Klein’s Endless Sword, so its corpse had been preserved quite well.
Klein had the two beasts drag half of the corpse back while he carried the other half.
The Armored Scorpion’s body was very large, about the size of a three-or four-story house.
With such a huge body, it would have been very difficult for Klein to move half of it.
But thankfully, he had obtained the epic-level equipment, Rogue Archer’s Half-High Boots, so it was very easy for him to move it.
A man and two beasts brought the ingredients back to the base.
Klein began to divide them and prepare to make a barbecue.
Looking at the Armored Scorpion on the ground, Klein’s appetite was aroused.
It was especially so for the two pairs of crab pincers.
One had to know that the meat inside these crustacean creatures was very delicious.
Especially the two pairs of large scorpion pincers. The meat inside was very smooth and tender, and it was filled with fragrance.
Klein thought of the crabs from his previous life. Although the two were different creatures and their sizes were completely different, their appearances were mostly the same. Perhaps the meat of the large pincers was very good.
With this in mind, Klein set up the fire and took out his knife, preparing to split the pincers in half.
However, when the knife struck the pincers, it produced a clanging sound. It couldn’t break through the armor of the Armored Scorpion, only leaving faint white marks.
Looking at the armor of the Armored Scorpion being so hard, Klein couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.
‘I didn’t expect the armor to be so hard. I remember that the Endless Sword sliced through the armor like it was tofu.’
And the knife in Klein’s hand wasn’t simple either.
It was a knife that Klein had specially synthesized to process ingredients. Its quality was also rare.
He didn’t expect it to be unable to break through the Armored Scorpion’s defense!
But not only was Klein not annoyed, he was even more interested in the meat in the Armored Scorpion’s pincers.
Then, he decisively took out the Endless Sword and sliced off the large pincers from the Armored Scorpion’s body.
Although the Endless Sword’s strength had been cut in half, the material was still at the level of a divine artifact. Using it to cook was a waste of resources.
If anyone knew that Klein was using a divine artifact to process ingredients, they would definitely complain that Klein was wasting heavenly resources!
However, Klein clearly didn’t care. Instead, he used it very smoothly.
Soon, Klein cut off the two pincers of the Armored Scorpion.
Then, he placed them on the ground and slowly split the two large pincers into two.
This was a necessary process. If it wasn’t handled, the heat from the large pincers wouldn’t be able to escape after being baked at high temperatures. There would definitely be an explosion.
