Every Meal is Full and Satisfying (Chapter 160)
At this moment, the flare was still dutifully emitting light, clearly illuminating the small ball that had rolled to the ground.
It looked like an egg, and through the light, one could see something moving inside...
Therefore, even without explanation, one could immediately guess that this thing was an insect egg... Thinking about it this way, it was a bit terrifying, reminding Ye Sheng of many alien horror movies where hatched insects went on killing sprees.
However, just as Ye Sheng was feeling scared, Ye Heiya let out an excited cry.
Then, with a few cooing steps forward, it lowered its head and swallowed the egg in one gulp.
Ye Sheng: ...
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
What... what just happened?
Ye Sheng turned her head helplessly to look at Gu Luoyu, only to see Gu Luoyu nodding at her, confirming that she hadn’t seen wrong, Ye Heiya had indeed eaten the egg.
At the same time, Gu Luoyu couldn’t help but add salt to the wound: "Ye Heiya jumped down because it was hungry. Besides eating insect eggs, it also eats other things."
"..."
Great.
Ye Heiya was officially a lost cause!!!
Of all the things to eat, it had to choose bugs, especially since the level of this Giant Eyed Cockroach was unknown, and its body emitted green poisonous gas. If Ye Heiya died from greed, it would be too late to regret.
Having come from a different world, Ye Sheng’s understanding of polluted creatures wasn’t as comprehensive as Gu Luoyu’s, so she treated Ye Heiya like a pet from her previous life. If it ate something weird, she would freak out!
She was terrified it would get sick.
Meanwhile, after finishing its "dessert," Ye Heiya was in high spirits, cooing happily as it quickly walked over to Ye Sheng, wanting to act cute but forgetting its current size.
Luckily, Gu Luoyu quickly raised a finger, making Ye Heiya stop abruptly and avoid crashing into them.
"Go away! You eat anything, no matter how dirty. Ye Heiya, don’t come near me!"
Ye Sheng waved her hand frantically, causing the clever swan to tilt its head in confusion.
Although it didn’t understand why it was suddenly being shunned, it knew that offering something good was always the right move.
Thinking this, Ye Heiya felt a bit heartbroken, but it quickly returned to the wound in the Giant Eyed Cockroach’s shell. It knew the difference between a feast and a famine!
Just as Ye Sheng was about to have a stroke, Ye Heiya used its long beak to rummage around inside the wound, causing blue blood to splatter everywhere.
Soon, the beak found its target and pulled it out.
In the next second, besides a stream of blue blood, Ye Heiya’s beak was clutching a black stone that looked very familiar... Having not found an energy stone in a long time, Ye Sheng was quite surprised to see one again.
Ye Sheng had found energy stones inside polluted creatures before, but they were small and only D-grade. The one Ye Heiya had discovered was the size of two fists.
As Ye Heiya waddled proudly over to Ye Sheng, it placed the energy stone on the ground and pushed it towards her with its webbed feet, putting on a show of flattery.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng was both exasperated and amused, so she simply ignored the swan.
On this trip, because her bag had to carry Ye Heiya, Ye Sheng had left the detector at home.
Today, she could finally test out the effectiveness of the Supernet’s scanning feature, which was said to be more detailed.
As for why she hadn’t used the Supernet watch to scan before...
Of course, it was because it required an additional fee to activate.
[S-grade polluted creature: Giant Eyed Cockroach, contamination level/moderate, edible meat! Due to long-term consumption of energy stones, the insect’s eggs are highly nutritious, suitable for espers, recommended for recovery]
Compared to the detector’s simple report, the information provided now was much more detailed.
However, besides being food for Ye Heiya, there was also...
Ye Sheng couldn’t help but glance at Gu Luoyu again, hesitating whether to stuff this Giant Eyed Cockroach into her spatial pouch and take it away for Gu Luoyu’s future meals.
Insect meat was good for espers!
Gu Luoyu didn’t need Ye Sheng to speak to know what she was thinking and immediately refused: "Although the meat of this Giant Eyed Cockroach is edible, its S-grade level is too high. It can’t be eaten directly but needs to be taken back to the base for special processing."
As for why Ye Heiya could eat it.
Of course, it was because Ye Heiya was also a polluted creature and didn’t need to worry about contamination levels.
Hearing this, Ye Sheng nodded and gave up on taking the entire insect... Although she had her spatial pouch, it couldn’t be revealed yet, so she couldn’t take the corpse away.
However, she could bring some for Ye Heiya as future food.
Before knowing that this Giant Eyed Cockroach was edible, it had been ugly and dangerous in Ye Sheng’s eyes. But now that she knew it was nutritious and edible, it had become quite appealing.
This wasn’t just a bug, it was a gift from nature.
Ye Sheng then pointed her watch at the black energy stone on the ground and began scanning.
[S-grade energy stone, energy content 5580, an extremely rare energy stone, recommended for recovery]
An S... grade energy stone!!!
This was a windfall!
The sudden wealth made Ye Sheng ecstatic, and seeing that Ye Sheng was no longer angry, Ye Heiya also breathed a sigh of relief. It then returned to the wound in the insect’s shell and continued to feast. This time, Ye Sheng didn’t stop it, letting Ye Heiya eat to its heart’s content.
After all, it was already this big, getting a little bigger wouldn’t matter.
At this moment, Gu Luoyu suddenly spoke up: "Do you want to go ahead and take a look?"
"?"
If Gu Luoyu hadn’t mentioned it, Ye Sheng wouldn’t have noticed that there was a passage ahead of the insect’s corpse.
Judging by its size, it seemed to be naturally formed rather than dug out by the Giant Eyed Cockroach.
Because it was impossible to pass through.
Also, since the Giant Eyed Cockroach had died too quickly, it hadn’t had time to widen the passage... So, this passage was an unknown mystery, and no one knew what lay inside.
If it were Ye Sheng alone in the past, she would have boldly ventured into such a cave.
Not to mention, now she had Gu Luoyu by her side.
Of course, they were going in!!!
Seeing Ye Sheng nod, Gu Luoyu immediately wrapped an arm around her waist and, without wasting time, took a step forward. In the next second, they were already at the entrance of the passage.
The speed was almost like teleportation, and Ye Sheng’s eyes widened in shock.
Wow, that was fast! Experiencing it firsthand, it was clear that espers were indeed the strongest in the base!
The agility attribute she had drawn from the lottery allowed her to automatically dodge Chen Yuan’s shadow attacks, but she couldn’t evade Gu Luoyu’s grasp.
It was just too fast, her body couldn’t react in time before being caught!
As Gu Luoyu carried Ye Sheng swiftly through the passage, more than one type of polluted creature appeared ahead. Their bizarre shapes were astonishing, but most of them scattered like mice seeing a cat, disappearing within seconds.
Of course, there were also some polluted creatures that weren’t afraid and came forward to provoke, only to have their brains crushed by Gu Luoyu’s psychic abilities, dying instantly.
As this happened more and more, the polluted creatures they encountered gradually became fearless, attacking ferociously as if their territory had been invaded.
This made Gu Luoyu frown, sensing that something was wrong.
