Chapter 745: You Really Are Going to Eat It!

An ominous feeling arose from the hearts of two ”chef-type lifestyle professionals.”

This same feeling extended to the hearts of the three viperfish outside the barrier.

”Eat! Eat! Eat!”

”Eat now! Seafood is best when fresh!”

”Such a large octopus tentacle, a once-in-a-lifetime sight, must be incredibly delicious!”

Amid the diners’ rowdy shouts, Lin Yi smiled at the two chefs disguised as monsters.

”Gentlemen, since everyone is so enthusiastic, don’t dampen their spirits. Let’s begin.”

With that, Lin Yi glanced at the iron plate nearby.

The bubbling oil sizzled on the iron plate, giving the signal to start cooking.

The two disguised ones were monsters, but they were also flesh and blood beings. They couldn’t handle putting their tentacles on an iron plate with temperatures reaching hundreds of degrees.

But now, with the atmosphere heightened to this state, they had no choice but to go through with it.

These monsters dared not tear apart the facade with Lin Yi.

”So, will you do it yourselves, or shall I help you?”

Seeing the two hesitate, Lin Yi’s gaze turned sharp in an instant.

A terrifying sense of suppression spread instantly; the two monsters felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, utterly suffocating. Hastily, they placed the tentacles seized by Lin Yi onto the iron plate.

”Ah, that’s right, work well.” The sizzling sound echoed from the iron plate again.

As soon as the two monsters disguised as humans placed their tentacles on the iron plate, they began to twist and convulse, their brows knitted tight, and a bitter smile graced their lips, trying to mask their pain with an awkward grin.

As the aroma of grilled squid drifted out, the two grimaced even more, the pain even overshadowing their fear of Lin Yi, as they tried to reach out and remove their tentacles.

Slap!

Two spatulas for teppanyaki slapped heavily on the giant tentacles.

The Power of the Primordial released from the spatulas thoroughly cowed the monsters.

Watching the events unfolding on the kitchen platform through the shield, the three viperfish that turned into humanoid forms realized they had encountered a tough adversary this time.

The instinct for survival urged them to abandon this action, twisting their bodies and trying to flee amid the chaos at the fastest possible speed.

But how could Lin Yi give them the chance?

”Where are you three going?”

With a thought, the skill [Interwoven Light and Shadow] was activated.

The three viperfish, in their humanoid forms a thousand meters away, were swapped into the kitchen platform by Lin Yi using the skill.

The ferocity of the viperfish surpassed most carnivorous fish species.

After being seized by Lin Yi, they attempted to resist.

But immediately they sensed an aura that left them utterly incapable of resisting — the Power of the Primordial.

Lin Yi raised his right hand, snapped his fingers, and completely dispelled the Descent Abyss power from the three viperfish, revealing their true forms.

”What’s going on here?”

The hotel manager, who was initially watching the spectacle, was dumbfounded.

What’s happening!

Why did three lifestyle professionals turn into menacing viperfish under everyone’s eyes?

”Guest, what have you done to our staff? While they say the customer is always right, we cannot accept how you are treating our employees.

Prejudice within people’s hearts is a huge mountain.

A well-run hotel inevitably has many competitors, and it’s not uncommon to encounter hired illusionists to cause trouble. Besides, the long-standing peace on Blue Star makes it hard to imagine Descent Abyss monsters daring to intrude into human territory.

For the subsequent actions to proceed smoothly, Lin Yi directly dispelled his [Seventy-Two Transformations] skill, revealing his original appearance.

”Lord, Lin Yi?”

The moment his original form was unveiled, the entire restaurant fell silent.

The restaurant security, originally planning to maintain order, stopped in their tracks.

”I don’t know why these Descent Abyss monsters ventured onto human grounds. Keep my visit secret; I’ll handle the rest.”

Lin Yi patted the restaurant manager on the shoulder.

Even though Lin Yi was decades younger than the restaurant manager, he carried the demeanor of an elder advising a junior.

”Alright, alright, War God Dragon God Sir, rest assured about the matters you mentioned. Our hotel will maintain secrecy.”

That face was the best pass on Blue Star.

Why the hotel manager never suspected it was an illusion when Lin Yi resumed his original appearance, because no one on Blue Star dared to impersonate Lin Yi’s face.

After revealing his identity to solve the trouble, Lin Yi walked toward the three viperfish, about four meters long.

Gently lifting his right hand, he made a virtual catching motion, grabbing all three viperfish handily from a distance.

”Speak, what’s the situation?”

”It’s my first time seeing low-level monsters capable of human speech. Could it be that as the Blue Star Planet Will grows, you’ve acquired brand new abilities too?”

Though the three viperfish did not know what the name Lin Yi meant, they were indeed afraid of the young man before them.

Just as the fear rose, Lin Yi instantly read their minds.

”We from the Sea Race are unlike your humans.....”

Before the words conveying their fear of death were spoken, Lin Yi crushed the three viperfish.

That Descent Abyss monsters gained power and acquired abilities to enter and exit the Abyss surprised Lin Yi.

The growth of Blue Star Will benefits the entire Blue Star’s beings; how could Lin Yi have overlooked that monsters are also creatures?

”Unexpectedly so coincidental.”

Nangong Ling and his companions flew over to Lin Yi’s side.

”What’s the matter, junior? You don’t seem pleased by your expression; is the situation very troublesome?”

Nangong Ling asked.

Not exactly troublesome, but it’s indeed annoying.

The growth of the Blue Star Will enhanced not only various species’ combat abilities but even their intellect.

The once isolated and struggling Descent Abyss monsters began to develop thoughts, learning to unite, understand organization, and expand teams with discipline.

They discovered that the power of Descent Abyss fluctuated with the amount of fear.

That is to say, as long as more fear exists in this world, the power of Descent Abyss will increase, and consequently, monsters relying on this power will grow stronger.

Thus, Descent Abyss monsters chose to launch small-scale attacks on humans to create more fear.

If not for Lin Yi’s presence today, having detected the Descent Abyss monsters’ intentions in advance, this underwater restaurant would likely have been massacred.

The restaurant security was utterly no match for these five monsters.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi did not first detect all these; there are hundreds of places on Blue Star where such small-scale massacres are occurring.

”The Professional Alliance will have plenty to do after this. After today, we’ll have to accelerate the dungeon clearance pace.”

With that, Lin Yi headed towards the two octopus monsters disguised as chefs.

”Have a taste and see how your cooking skills are.”

The two octopus monsters were dumbfounded.

Is there really such a difficult task? Not only must I grill myself, but I also have to eat myself!

Recalling the gruesome deaths of the three viperfish earlier, the two octopus monsters ultimately chose to comply, picking up the mostly grilled tentacles with wretched looks, ready to place them in their mouths.

But just as their mouths opened, Lin Yi delivered a hand-chop, blowing their heads apart.

”You were actually going to eat it!”
