Battle of Ascension - First Day - Eating New Delicacy
First Day – Eating New Delicacy
Now, he was still in Purwakarta Territory after walking for six hours. The same as the previous territory, Purwakarta Territory was a forest. The only difference was the type of tree each territory.
The tree in Purwakarta Territory was Gray Pine trees. Different from the Bekasi Territory, the atmosphere in Purwakarta Territory was a bit gloomy, cloudy, and a bit cold.
As the sky was becoming dark, Randy decided to find a place to rest for tonight. He checked the map on the Battle System, looking for a place which was near to a river or lake.
Randy already explored Purwakarta Territory before. Even though he didn’t explore the entire territory, but he already explored the large part of Purwakarta Territory. So he already marked where the river and every water source he found in Purwakarta Territory.
The closest water source was in the front, about 1 mile from where he was. Afterward, he hurried his footsteps. Even though he didn’t feel tired after walking for a half-day, Randy already planned that he would move from the morning till noon and would go hunting in the night to keep his leveling pace.
It took only a few minutes, less than five minutes before finally Randy arrived at a river. The river had about three meters wide with clean water streaming down.
Randy could see the bottom of the river, indicating the river was not deep. But there was no fish on the river, in the river, only a clean and clear water was streaming down. So far Randy never found any normal animal like the animal on the previous earth.
After this, he took out a transparent sphere from his System Storage. Inside the transparent sphere, there was a tent. Even though the seller said it was a tent, but the shape of the tent was like a small house.
Just as Randy wanted to throw the transparent sphere on the ground, there was a “whoosh” sound from his right and left at the same time.
Randy bent his body down and pulled his sword, slashing his sword upward.
Plop! Plop! Plop! Plop!
There was a sound of something falling on the ground after Randy slashing his sword upward. Randy could discern from the sound, the thing fell on the ground was a soft object.
Randy put his sword into the sheath back. On the ground, there was two snake split into two, on his left and on his right. from the head to the middle body and from the middle body to the tail.
The snake color was green jade with twice as big as an adult’s thigh. These two snakes were Jade Snake, level 76 Uncommon Beast. Apparently, the two Jade Snakes coiled at the trees as there were two Gray Pine trees on his left and right.
He was surprised that he didn’t notice these two beasts earlier. Usually, his hearing and sight were sensitive, if there was a sound or movement in the slightest, he could notice it in the split of seconds.
But he didn’t notice these two snakes earlier. This meant these two snakes didn’t move and didn’t make any sound, but these two snakes had a different color with the Gray Pine tree. The former was green while the latter was gray, it was impossible for him didn’t notice.
Then these two snakes were coming unnoticed by him. Fortunately, he bought a repellent sphere. The repellent sphere had a special use which was made beast or monster didn’t dare to approach.
Randy only needed to plant the sphere in the ground, then in the area about twenty meters square would appear mist covered that area. If he didn’t have this repellent sphere, then it would be hard for him to sleep.
There were various repellent spheres. The cheapest was a thousand gold coin while the most expensive was a billion gold coin. The repellent sphere with a thousand gold coin would only make a Common Beast didn’t dare to approach while a billion gold coin repellent sphere would even make a Territory King didn’t dare to approach.
Randy bought the million repellent sphere, so there will no Epic Beast dare to approach him. He didn’t want to waste too much gold for this. He bought this sphere was only to make him sleep soundly at night without beast disturb him.
Randy summoned the tent first. He threw the transparent sphere which contained a tent to the ground.
Plop!
Smoke appeared when Randy threw the transparent sphere. After a few seconds, a “tent” appeared in the front of him and an empty sphere in the front of “tent”.
Rather than a tent, it was a small house like the house in the tree which in Evergreen City. A small square house with five meters square wide. After that Randy planted a repellent sphere. In the blink of an eye, the mist appeared around him.
Although there was mist covered in twenty meters square area, Randy could still see clearly his surrounding. The mist didn’t affect his sight.
After that, Randy entered the “tent”, checking what was inside. There was nothing inside. Randy took out a futon, preparing for his bed tonight.
Afterward, he took out a lunchbox for his dinner. Mika prepared ten lunchboxes for him. Of course Randy accepted the lunchbox with a delight.
After finishing his dinner, Randy went out for night hunting. Even though Jade Snake was a weak beast for him, but the EXP from killing Jade Snake was a huge sum for him.
He could get one percent EXP from killing seven Jade Snakes. So There was no need to go to other beast’s domain to hunt. Randy went hunt at 7 PM and back at 11 PM.
When he was back to the tent, there was a reek of blood over Randy. The black armor turned into green. That caused by the Jade Snake’s blood which smeared his armor.
Even though Randy was hunting non-stop for three hours, there was no trace of fatigue over his face. His face was energetic as usual.
Randy jumped over to the river which not far from where he set up his tent, washing away the Jade Snake’s blood. After washing up for fifteen minutes and made sure there was no more smell of blood, Randy left the river, changing into new clothes, and went to sleep.
The next morning he woke up at 7 AM. He prepared his own breakfast, tasting a new delicacy, the roasted Jade Snake. Even though he never ate snake before, he wanted to try it now.
After skinning the snake, Randy cut the snake meat into four meat and used four sticks to pierce the four meat which had been prepared by him earlier. He didn’t want to eat the entire of the snake as this was his first time to taste snake meat.
As for the blood inside the snake already been dried up. He used his Storage System’s uniqueness to clean the blood.
Afterward, Randy took out four jars. The three jars containing a special seasoning from his mom restaurant and the last jar was a jar containing honey. Randy took this special seasoning in Happy Restaurant’s kitchen secretly.
Randy sprinkle the first seasoning to the first snake meat which had been pierced by a steak. The first seasoning was black in color, like black pepper but it was not. After that, Randy smeared the meat with honey and put it on the top bonfire.
The second and the three meat also the same, the difference was the seasoning. The second seasoning was orange in color while the third seasoning is white in color. Of course, after he sprinkled the seasoning, Randy smeared the snake meat with honey.
Meanwhile, for the last snake meat, Randy mixed the three seasonings before he smeared the meat with honey. Done with his breakfast preparation, Randy took out a transparent sphere, storing back the tent, and took the repellent sphere which he planted last night.
Afterward, he went back to continue roasting his snake meat. After fifteen minutes, the snake meat was cooked. At least it was what he thought as he looked the yellowish snake meat.
he took the snake meat with the black seasoning. Randy ate the tip of the snake meat, tasting the meat what would like.
The sweetness of honey with a bit spiciness overwhelmed his taste bud. The meat was chewy, but not though. In the third chew, there was a juicy came out from the snake meat. Soon, bitterness mixed with the spiciness of the black seasoning and the sweetness of the honey.
Randy frowned at the bitter taste of the snake meat. in the fifth chew, he swallowed the snake meat. It was not that he didn’t like the snake meat bitterness; it was just the black seasoning’s spiciness was not a good match with the snake meat.
Randy put the first snake meat aside and took the second snake meat. The snake meat with orange seasoning. The sweetness and the sourness blended perfectly, flooding Randy’s taste bud. Even after the bitterness from the snake meat mixed within, it only made the snake meat which was chewy made more delicious.
In no time Randy ate the entire snake meat on the second stick. After that, the Randy tasted the third. Somehow, the third outer snake meat was crisp, the meat was soft, and not chewy as before. But the taste was weird, besides the sweetness from the honey, there was no other taste in the third snake meat.
Randy put aside third meat and ate the last snake meat. The last snake meat was superb. The soft meat with the sour and spicy was perfectly combined with the snake meat’s bitterness.
After finding the right seasoning, Randy cut the remaining snake meat. This time he combined the orange seasoning and the white seasoning. Of course, he smeared the meat with honey. The snake meat was too bitter, so the honey’s sweetness was perfect for the snake meat.
Randy finished his breakfast in half an hour after trying combined the various of the seasoning with the snake meat. Then, he continued the journey, the second day to the east.
