Anyone Dares Bully you, Call Uncles!

Chapter 1459 Food

Lilly stared hungrily at the large chunks of shrimp, which were even bigger than a beef shank. Her

stomach growled in protest.

"Oh my goodness! This isn't just any ordinary shrimp! It's king crab!"

She wanted to peel off the shrimp's shell and toss the meat into the pot. Unfortunately, the crustacean's

shell was as hard as steel, making it difficult to peel by hand. To make matters worse, she didn't have

the strength to pull it apart barehanded.

So, she decided to grill it with the shell on, creating a seafood barbecue!

Soon, the shell turned red as the tender meat inside started to sizzle and bubble with oil.

Then, she sprinkled some secret seasoning on it!

The fragrance immediately filled the entire cave as time passed.

Lilly's eyes sparkled as she looked at the meat. "Wow! It smells so good!"

When she saw that the shrimp was probably cooked, she quickly cut off a small piece with a knife and

placed it in her mouth, savoring it.

"It's delicious!" Her eyes lit up even more.

Squeaky and Speedy, who had never seen such a scene, looked on in astonishment.

Their young master was too scary. She was so fierce!

Nonetheless, they didn't hesitate to follow suit and took a tentative bite. Then, they couldn't help but let

out a moan of joy.

This was so delicious!

Lilly exclaimed, "By the way… I don't mean to be rude, but aren't both of you spirits? Can you actually

taste this?"

The small ghost beast hastily expressed that there was nothing they couldn't eat! Didn't the young

master's allies eat these too? So, why couldn't it do the same?

Speedy, who had never eaten meat before, flew around with his two legs in a frenzy, saying, "There's

nothing we can't eat!"

Lilly thought for a moment and figured this wasn't anything out of the ordinary. After all, there were no

ghosts who couldn't eat what she made. This skill was something others just didn't possess.

Nonetheless, she still had another question she needed answered. "Can ghost beasts also get married

and have children?"

She thought it wouldn't be possible!

The small ghost beast pondered for a moment and indicated that it also didn't quite understand the

details.

However, the more advanced ghost beasts were known to be different from ordinary ones. Ghost

beasts like them, who could communicate in the language of a hundred beasts, were extraordinary in

themselves!

Lilly nodded as she answered, "I see. Then, why do you call yourselves 'Squeaky'?"

The small ghost beast explained that mice were a very intelligent type of beast and were highly

regarded by some ghost beasts.

The totem of the Flame Beast was a mouse.

The small ghost beast squeaked proudly, "Others even say that mice are the ancestors of humans!" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lilly could only stare at the small ghost beast in bafflement.

Suddenly, she recalled what Ivan had said. He told her that mice had 40 pairs of chromosomes while

humans had 42 pairs. Humans and mice both have over 30,000 genes, making them at least 80%

identical in terms of genetics.

"So… Are you guys mice or something else entirely?" Lilly was still rather confused.

The small ghost beast squeaked in response, "I've got no idea!"

Oh, for the love of… Ugh. You know what? There's no point thinking about this. They had good food

and a nice shelter to stay. Besides, the world was filled with mysterious beings like ghosts, demonic

beasts, and even dragons. Why should she bother herself with the nitty-gritty details?

Lilly devoured the Stinger's body in no time.

Although it was huge in life, it actually shrank after it was roasted. From Lilly's perspective, it wasn't all

that big.

She licked her fingers, still hungry for more. Hence, she suggested, "Why don't we catch another one?"

The small ghost beast and Speedy, who had thought of Lilly as monstrous prior to this, didn't hesitate to

nod vigorously.

Meanwhile, the Flame Beasts and the Stingers were locked in a fierce battle. Their skirmish was gory

as blood and flesh flew everywhere.

A dark light flashed before them, and Lilly appeared.

Before they could react, the dark light flashed yet again. This time, Lilly was gone, taking away a few

intact Stinger carcasses with her.

The Flame Beasts and the Stingers on the battlefield paused briefly as they tried to make sense of

what had just occurred.

They vaguely sensed a lingering fragrance as she disappeared.

Lilly had been starving for a long time. So, it wasn't until she devoured three king crabs that she felt a

little better.

"Phew!" Lilly lay on the ground, rubbing her round belly. This was the first time in a long time she had

felt this comfortable and satisfied.

Moreover, there was a continuous flow of spirit energy circulating in her belly after her meal,

transforming into purer spirit energy stored in her purple elixir field.

The constantly rotating purple golden substance also started to spin faster.

This time, she was able to pass through the crack in the door and even use the spatial order when she

was exhausted, all thanks to the constantly rotating golden substance.

Under normal circumstances, she would never fall into a desperate situation like she had before.

However, Lilly still felt a sense of impending crisis.

For example, could she further enhance the purple golden substance and make it spin faster?

The golden substance was like a generator. Could she upgrade its version and turn it into a larger

golden substance? Perhaps she could create two golden substances. If that were the case, did it mean

she could possess countless golden substances?

As soon as Lilly had that thought, she pondered it over before making what she considered a feasible

decision.

There had to be incredible treasures hidden somewhere for her to cultivate in the Nether.

So, she would keep eating until she had enough strength to return home!

Her parents were still waiting for her by the evil eye pond. Honestly, she couldn't even imagine how

worried they must be after her long disappearance.

No, she had to return as soon as possible!

Lilly sat up immediately, closed her eyes, and began to meditate and cultivate.

She actively circulated the energy she had just consumed. Cultivation required the support of spirit

energy. Besides, she had just had a great meal. Thus, she had more than enough spirit energy.

Lilly had converted all the spirit energy she had consumed into pure spirit energy within half an hour

and stored it all in her elixir field.

She had practically gorged herself. Unfortunately, it only managed to barely fill her elixir field. To make

matters worse, she was hungry again!

Lilly rose to her feet and said, "Let's go, Squeaky! Let's go get more of that seafood!"

The small ghost beast squeaked in glee.

...

The Flame Beast was forced to retreat.

The Beast King looked at the scene before him, feeling both angry and anxious.

It was evident that the Stingers had come well-prepared this time, as they had twice as many tribe

members for this particular battle.

It appeared that the Flame Beast tribe was on the verge of facing inevitable defeat!

Even the mighty fear the strategy of overwhelming numbers. Moreover, these scaly creatures were

already formidable without the support of those numbers.

"Your Highness! The Sanda District has been completely destroyed!"

"Your Highness! The Rainy Grove has also been wiped out!"

"Your Highness! We can no longer hold on!"

At this moment, the totem behind Red Fur was gradually losing its brightness. It was clear that it was

about to deplete every ounce of power within it.

The Beast King was also physically and mentally exhausted. Although it could no longer protect the

entire tribe, it still possessed the ability to utilize the totem.

It seemed that the only remaining option was to abandon most of the tribe. They had to select a few

females and strong warriors to escape. They had no alternative but to preserve their strength and start

anew.

The Beast King was extremely hesitant to make that decision. It had taken hundreds of years to

establish this peaceful land.

However, now, it had no choice but to relinquish it!

Just then, the Beast King noticed Squeaky, who had arrived with Lilly to collect the Stingers' corpses.
