The deputy commander, Xie Kaicai, whispered to Yue, "Did you offend them?"
Yu Yue stared in the direction of the Bajue Mercenary Group and shook his head.
"No. I have never interacted with them before."
However, he raised his vigilance.
He wouldn't think that it was a coincidence that the Bajue Mercenary Group could point him out from so many people. They must have known something.
It seemed like the corpses of the four men had been discovered. He speculated that it was very likely that one of the four men had left a message when he wasn't paying attention, telling the people of the Bajue Mercenary Group that he had killed them.
However, this information wasn't comprehensive. It should only be roughly described. Otherwise, that black-clothed man wouldn't have let him go so easily.
He sized up the people around him. Among these people, there was only one outstanding feature about his appearance, and that was his fat.
Could it be that this was the only thing left behind?
If this was the only thing left behind, they probably wouldn't be able to find him among the countless people.
However, they definitely couldn't be careless. Who knew what other information they were holding. In the future, they would need to hide their strength in front of the Bajue Mercenary Group and not expose too much of their attention.
While making conjectures in his mind, he packed up his things and started his journey with the Mercenary Group.
The Bajue Mercenary Group was just a small interlude, and the main theme of the Saber Mercenary Group was to travel as fast as possible.
The day's journey had come to an end while he was busy.
The sun was setting in the west, and they had just found a good place to set up camp. Commander Lin Qi gave the order, and Mercenary Group stopped in their tracks. They were busy preparing for the night's rest. For example, sprinkling insect repellant powder around them, building a bonfire, building a stove, and so on.
Yu Yue would have participated in these things in the past, but his identity was different now. He was a chef, so Huang Dongqiang dragged him to discuss dinner matters.
Huang Dongqiang said, "Today's dinner is different from usual. Yesterday, we were surrounded by Iron Armored Beast. In fact, the meat of the Iron Armored Beast was very fresh and tender. It was a food that was more popular in restaurants and even hotels. Therefore, we took a lot of Iron Armored Beast meat yesterday and prepared to sell it to the restaurants in the city. "
He paused for a moment and said," But because the Iron Armored Beast is too heavy, it will affect the speed of our journey. That's why I thought we could eat some along the way. It's also to reward the team members. I discussed it with the Guild Leader and the others, and they agreed with my proposal. That's why I'm preparing to let you prepare an Iron Armored Beast feast today."
" Iron Armored Beast ah... I've never cooked this ingredient before. "
Huang Dongqiang waved his hand. "It doesn't matter. The ingredients are precious this time. I will cook together with you. Just treat me as a chef. The Iron Armored Beast's meat is very similar to chicken. Just treat it like chicken!"
Hearing that the taste was like chicken, Yu Yue had confidence.
He nodded and said: "Alright, I'll do it."
Huang Dongqiang called a few mercenaries to pick up the sack. Yu Yue saw the sack and suddenly realized what it was. When he saw the Mercenary Group had a few more sacks, he was curious about what it was. It turned out that it was filled with Iron Armored Beast.
He opened the bag and saw the piles of Iron Armored Beast inside.
The mercenaries were very happy when they heard that there were delicious Iron Armored Beast to eat at night. They expressed their willingness to help with the meal. The shell of the Iron Armored Beast was very hard. It took a lot of effort to completely peel off the shell. With the help of more than ten mercenaries, the efficiency was very high.
Even so, it took them an hour to finish processing the Iron Armored Beast. White flesh was revealed from the iron shell.
He started to cook, fire, and pour oil. Coincidentally, the Saber Mercenary Group had chili in their seasoning storage. He was preparing to stir-fry a famous Chinese dish, chili chicken. It should be called chili Iron Armored Beast now.
Yu Yue's technique was skilled. Soon, a fragrance came from the pot that was emitting white smoke. The mercenaries who had never eaten anything good before were drooling at the pot.
"Yu Yue, what are you cooking?" One of the mercenaries swallowed his saliva and said.
Yu Yue smiled and said, "You will know after you finish stir-frying. Wait." He was very confident in his culinary skills, and was even more confident in China's food culture.
Although the dishes in Oracle Continent were very similar to the ones in China, they were much simpler and had a single style. Yu Yue had long wanted to cook for the residents of Oracle Continent to see how they would react to the profound food culture in China.
He was actually very happy about cooking. Otherwise, no matter how much Huang Dongqiang gave him, he would not give him money. For the sake of this small amount of money, he would do something conspicuous.
"Aiya, looks like everyone is right. Your culinary skills are indeed better than mine. I, Huang Dongqiang, admit defeat." Huang Dongqiang sniffled and revealed an intoxicated expression.
"I see. It's just a difference in taste. Old brother Huang, you don't have to belittle yourself."
"There's nothing wrong with that. Yu Yue, your cooking is really delicious." Huang Dongqiang chuckled, but a sinister look flashed across his narrowed eyes.
The chili chicken was a dish that did not take long to cook, but it was made for twenty people. There were many ingredients, and the stir-frying time needed to be increased appropriately.
Under everyone's gaze, a pot of fragrant spicy Iron Armored Beast came out of the pot. The spicy and spicy fragrance that assailed the nostrils aroused everyone's appetite. They scrambled to squeeze in front of the big pot, and couldn't help but want to use chopsticks to directly pick it up.
A mercenary used chopsticks to pick up the meat from the pot first. After he got his way, he put it into his mouth. He stared with his eyes wide open, and then his face was filled with happiness.
"Is it delicious?" Someone asked eagerly.
"It's delicious!" He answered happily.
But then he was pressed to the ground by the angry mercenaries.
"Who told you to eat first?" "I haven't even eaten yet, and you dare to snatch it from the pot! Are you done?" "Spit out the meat for me!!"
Seeing that there were still people who wanted to put chopsticks into the pot, Yu Yue hurriedly covered the pot and stopped them. "Don't pick it up anymore. Each person will pick up a chopstick, and there won't be much meat left in the pot. One by one, everyone gets a share. "
This sentence made the mercenaries quiet down. Yu Yue's image in their hearts was too high. He was a cook who could make delicious food. If they offended him, it would not be good if they did not cook for them in the future.
Huang Dongqiang walked forward with a smile and stopped Yu Yue who wanted to add food. "Brother Yu Yue, you have cooked such a big pot of food. It is very tiring. Let me do the thing of adding rice."
"No need. Isn't it just adding rice? It's not tiring."
"No, no, no. You must let me do it. Just now, I said I was going to be your assistant, but in the end, I didn't do anything for you. This is already very embarrassing for me. If you don't even want me to add rice, then you won't give me any face!"
Seeing Huang Dongqiang's firm gaze, Yu Yue didn't have any stubbornness. He put down the spoon and gave it to Huang Dongqiang.
Huang Dongqiang smiled and added food to the mercenaries one by one. The mercenaries who got the rice did not waste any time talking. They quickly found a place to pick up the rice and eat. They praised as they ate, but their mouths were blocked by food. They did not know what to say.
Yu Yue chuckled as he looked at the satisfied mercenaries. He suddenly felt that it was good to be a cook. It was a great sense of achievement to be recognized by others when cooking.
But not long after, a mercenary's face suddenly turned green. The lunchbox in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. He also knelt on the ground, clutching his stomach and screaming in pain.
It was like a plague. This state suddenly erupted, engulfing all the mercenaries who were eating. They all covered their stomachs and howled.
For a moment, the land was filled with grief.
Anyone could tell that there was a problem with the food.
Yu Yue was also stunned. It was clearly just an ordinary spicy chicken, why did these people eat it as if they were poisoned?
