The two beasts didn’t know what Klein was doing.
They also didn’t know why Klein didn’t choose the Harpy or the Rogue Archer.
It was because the shell of the Armored Scorpion in front of them was too hard.
Although it looked huge, there wasn’t much meat. It wasn’t enjoyable to eat.
But when he thought of his master’s means, he wouldn’t do such a useless thing, so he became even more curious.
Little Wind lay in front of Klein and watched as the Endless Sword swayed in front of him.
He didn’t want to move even half a step. He wanted to be the first to see what Klein was up to.
As for Little Fox, she was even more crafty. She lay on Little Wind’s back, her eight tails constantly swaying left and right, looking extremely comfortable.
Her large, pitch-black eyes were filled with anticipation.
Of course, it wasn’t the first time that Little Wind had expressed that he wasn’t a stool for Little Fox.
But unfortunately, Little Fox was too fast. No matter how much Little Wind protested, he was completely unable to drive Little Fox away. In the end, he could only acquiesce to Little Fox lying on his body.
…
Klein carefully processed the ingredients as the Endless Sword separated a large pincer from the middle.
He was very careful when operating the pincer. He only used the tip of the Endless Sword to break open the outermost shell of the Armored Scorpion, but he didn’t delve deep into the flesh inside.
There was a reason for this.
This was because once the flesh inside the shell was dipped in iron, the flesh inside would definitely not be as tender as before. Instead, it would carry the stench of death, greatly affecting the taste.
After he finished cutting, Klein put the Endless Sword away and placed his hands under the cut shell. Then, he gently exerted force.
With a cracking sound, the shell split apart from the middle.
Upon hearing the sound, the two beasts revealed their curiosity. They stuck their heads out and looked over like a gap.
Klein didn’t delay any further. Then, he exerted more force with his hands and completely opened the shell from the middle.
After opening the shell, the flesh and blood inside were revealed.
Looking at the flesh and blood in front of him, Klein was taken aback. There was an inexplicable amount of fluid in his mouth.
At that moment, the system’s notification also appeared.
[The essence of a Tier 6 Armored Scorpion’s flesh and blood. Consuming it can increase the attributes of three dimensions.]
Looking at the notification that suddenly appeared, Klein swept his eyes over it.
‘I never thought that it could increase the attributes of three dimensions!’
‘Is this what a tier 6 crypt creature comes with?’
Klein raised his eyebrows in excitement.
However, he suddenly thought of the Stone of Destruction, the Blood Ape, and the Giant that he had killed previously. Those were crypt creatures that had reached the tier 7 and above. If only their flesh and blood could increase even more?
However, this thought flashed through Klein’s mind.
Back then, the system didn’t mention that their flesh and blood had an increase, so it naturally meant that not all their flesh and blood could increase their circumference.
Furthermore, the Blood Ape was a humanoid creature, so Klein didn’t have the slightest appetite. Furthermore, there were so many carrion corpses in the Ghoul space, so what did it need to eat?
Not to mention eating them, even the thought of eating them made Klein feel like vomiting.
As for the Stone of Destruction?
Klein felt that his teeth weren’t hard enough to eat rocks.
As for the Giant, there was no need to mention them. They were basically sewn-up monsters.
The bones were suspected to be human, the blood was suspected to be Blood Ape, and the flesh was definitely Ghoul’s. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if Klein had an appetite!
With this in mind, Klein looked at the flesh of the Armored Scorpion in front of him again.
‘As expected, my guess was right. The flesh of this type of crustacean is very tender. Just looking at it makes one’s mouth fill with saliva.’
The meat of the Armored Scorpion’s pincers was mainly white in color, but there were many golden patterns dotted in the white.
There was also very dense water vapor in the white flesh, making the pincers look tender and fresh.
The strangest thing was that, although it was an Armored Scorpion, the meat didn’t have a strange smell.
It even smelled a little fragrant.
‘That’s strange!’
Klein must have left the drool of the two beasts on the ground.
They were more sensitive to food that increased their strength than Klein.
If it weren’t for Klein, they would probably be lying down and eating in big mouthfuls!
But even so, the two beasts continued to approach the inside. Clearly, they had a little plan in mind to try it first.
Klein immediately saw through the two beasts and reached out to stop their mouths from reaching in.
Then, in the eyes of the two beasts, he placed the large pincers on the grill and began to roast them.
Thankfully, Klein had prepared large enough. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to put them down at once!
The grill was a rare item that was made with great firepower. Furthermore, it was roasted very evenly, so Klein didn’t need to do too much.
Before long, the firepower increased. The large pincers emitted white smoke, and the steam produced by the roasting produced sizzling sounds.
Before long, an even richer fragrance was emitted.
This made the two beasts and one man standing by the barbeque rack swallow their saliva, and their stomachs growled even louder.
Seeing that the barbeque was almost done, Klein took out the barbeque ingredients that he had previously exchanged for.
There was salt, pepper, cumin, and so on.
He didn’t put in too much. After all, the ingredients in the pincers were too fresh. Putting in too much barbeque ingredients would instead suppress the original taste of the ingredients, and he wouldn’t be able to experience the original freshness and sweetness of the ingredients.
The pincers with barbeque ingredients became even more fragrant.
After about half an hour, under the constant output of the rare barbeque rack, the pincers were finally done roasting.
Seeing that it was done roasting, Klein took out the rare knife from before, cut it apart in the pincers, and then separated it out.
The two beasts happily ate the Armored Scorpion meat.
Klein also cut a piece for himself and placed it in his mouth to taste it carefully.
The moment it entered his mouth, Klein couldn’t help but moan.
He knew that the meat in the pincers would be very tender, but he didn’t expect it to be so tender.
It melted in his mouth, and a rich juice spread out from the flesh and blood, instantly enveloping Klein’s tongue.
Klein ate in satisfaction.
The Armored Scorpion meat he ate turned into the purest essence in his body, increasing Klein’s three measurements.
[System notification: Three Measurements+1]
[System notification: Strength+1]
[System notification: Speed+1]
…
As Klein ate, he felt the pleasure of his body becoming stronger.
The strangest thing was that the Armored Scorpion meat didn’t feel satiated at all.
The human and two beasts quickly finished off a large pincer, then roasted another large pincer, and began to eat happily again.
If not for the fact that they wouldn’t be able to increase their circumference if they continued eating, they would have definitely finished eating the entire Armored Scorpion.
However, it was enough now. After all, eating too much would make one sick of it.
Therefore, Klein kept the remaining Armored Scorpion meat and prepared to use it as a resource to exchange for ingredients.
After all, these things were useless to them now, but to others, they were good things to increase their strength!
