Humans Are a Species That Tastes Delicious When Roasted

Angel reached for the doorknob, trying to open the door, but found it wouldn't budge. He looked towards the Platinum Skeleton, but it didn't react. He then mustered all his energy and began to pull, but still, there was no response.

"Angel, what are you doing? Hurry up and open the door and sneak inside!" Abram urged him telepathically when he saw that Angel hadn't responded for a while.

"I can't open the door..." Angel replied with a mournful face, "I tried with all my might but I still couldn't open it."

"Try a few more times!" Abram Way of Sound telepathically, frowning.

Angel stood still and tried several more times, but the door still didn't respond at all. She had no choice but to send a telepathic message back, "Still no good!"

"Useless trash, step aside, I'll do it!" After waiting for a few minutes, Abram completely lost his patience.

He leaped several times and appeared in front of the door, glaring at Angel with a hostile look, then reached out and pulled at the door. There was absolutely no response!

He poured energy into his arm, his face full of disbelief, and pulled again, but the door remained unmoved. "Damn it, this door really won't open!"

Gu Ding and the others chuckled to themselves; the way the two Dark Race were trying to open the door was truly comical. This Time Acceleration Chamber was a complete spiritual object; how could a spiritual object without a master open its door? Ironically, these Dark Race members thought the small house was a treasure warehouse and wanted to search for treasure inside.

"You can't open it either?" Agas watched from afar as Abram strained with all his might, but still stood outside the door.

"It's a bit strange. I don't know how the warehouse door was designed. I tried with all my might but there was no reaction at all." Abram frowned.

"If all else fails, let's bombard them!" Agas suggested.

"That's all we can do. Keep an eye on that Platinum Skeleton."

After Abram finished speaking, a giant axe appeared in his hand. The dark divine source unique to the Darkness Clan condensed on the surface of the giant axe, and it cleaved towards the red gate with immense force.

Seeing this, Angel quickly dodged away, afraid of being affected by the shockwave.

A loud clang reverberated, like the tolling of a bell at dusk, but it also made Abram's arms go numb.

But just as the sound reverberated, the Platinum Skeleton, which had been dormant, suddenly moved. The giant python skeleton, half-buried in the ground, suddenly raised its head and its gaze fell on Abram. It twisted its body, about to charge at Abram, but unexpectedly, Agas and his men rushed out and attacked the giant python skeleton.

Realizing it was being attacked, the giant python, though unharmed, felt its authority challenged and turned to chase after Agas and his companions. But before leaving, it lashed out with its tail at Abram.

Abram immediately retreated. He hadn't intended to open the hut directly in the first place. Seeing the platinum-colored giant tail sweeping towards him, he hurriedly used his giant axe to block it. But the moment he made contact, he felt an immense force, and the bones in both arms shattered completely. The giant axe slammed directly into his chest, shattering all his ribs and turning his internal organs into dust.

Abram spat out a mouthful of black blood, which contained fragments of internal organs. Not only did his body fly far away, but he also fainted in mid-air.

Seeing Abram instantly killed, Agas and his group didn't dare linger and turned to flee at top speed. The ten of them fled in ten different directions.

The giant serpent skeleton, however, was not about to let anyone go easily. With a wide-open maw, a surging black mist swept towards the eight people. In an instant, three of them were unable to dodge and were caught by the black mist, turning into a pool of black water amidst screams of agony.

Gu Ding and his companions, watching from afar, frowned upon seeing the immense power of the giant python skeleton.

However, the giant python's black mist seemed to have a limited attack range. After two more of the remaining five were swallowed by the mist, it stopped pursuing the remaining three. The giant python skeleton twisted its massive body and chased after one of them.

Seeing the giant python leave, Esrick then headed towards the cabin as planned.

"Let's make our move, time is running out!" Gu Ding said to Liliath without hesitation.

A Golden Skeleton in the form of a cheetah carried Gu Ding and his group towards the Time Acceleration Cabin, arriving at the scene in just a few seconds.

When Esrick saw a Golden Skeleton flying towards him, he was terrified, but then he saw a human boy in casual clothes appear in front of him. A Black Radiance flashed before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

"There's another guy hiding over there, I'll go take care of him!" Scarlet leaped off the back of the Golden Skeleton, unleashing her full sword spirit and slashing at the opponent.

But all they saw was a black shadow flash by, darting away quickly into the distance, disappearing completely in just a few seconds.

Scarlet wanted to chase after him, but Gu Ding stopped her, "Forget it, don't chase him, you can't catch up with him. Besides, we don't have much time here."

"I should have brought more Golden Skeleton," Liliath said helplessly. Their original plan was to use this fastest Golden Skeleton to escape quickly once they collected the Time Acceleration Cabin. Moreover, this was the only Golden Skeleton that was relatively small, less than ten meters long, making it less likely to be spotted from several kilometers away. With the others, their size alone would have made them visible from tens of kilometers away, let alone several kilometers.

Gu Ding pricked his finger and dripped his blood onto the roof. Moments later, the small house, which appeared to be less than thirty square meters in size from the outside, began to shake violently. At the same time, the roar of the Platinum Skeleton Python could be heard in the distance; it seemed to have sensed the change happening here.

Just as the giant python was about to turn around, it saw a white shadow flash past its eyes, and a member of the Dark Race blocked its way.

The Sea Emperor also noticed this scene. The Dark Race appeared to be a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore a white robe, a blood-red crescent moon necklace around his neck, and a purple longsword at his waist. The scabbard was adorned with extremely luxurious decorations, inlaid with eighteen unique blood-red crystals. That boy was none other than Ye Mei, who had been completely manipulated by Miko's Spirit Gathering Array earlier.

Looking up at the Platinum Skeleton Python, Ye Mei showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a slight smile played on her lips, revealing an eager expression. "Hehe, Platinum Skeleton, you should have had the cultivation of a four or five-star Half-Step True God in your previous life, but now, your consciousness strength should only be two-star Half-Step True God. You're out of luck to have met me!"

The giant python seemed to realize that the boy in front of it was different from the ones it had been chasing before, but its newly formed consciousness made it less intelligent than before, and it pounced directly at Ye Mei.

Ye Mei calmly leaped up, dodging the giant python's powerful attack. "If you were still alive, I would have turned and run the moment I saw you. But now, while I'm no match for you in a physical fight, with your weakness of impaired consciousness, you're nothing but food to me. Food should be treated like food!"

As soon as Ye Mei finished speaking, she flicked her thumb, drawing her longsword and unleashing a slash. An Emperor Projection rapidly materialized above Ye Mei's head—a Purple-Robed Man —who also swung his sword, merging with Ye Mei's. A purple blade of energy materialized, slashing towards the giant python's head.

The giant python roared and lashed out with its thick tail, trying to block the seemingly terrifying attack. However, the blade energy seemed to be invisible, piercing through the python's tail and then slicing through its head.

Then, the giant python let out a bloodcurdling roar and collapsed completely. But the skull that had just been struck remained undamaged.

Ye Mei's attack had annihilated the giant python's consciousness; therefore, that strike wasn't a physical attack, but rather a spiritual one. Consequently, the python's tail strike to block was ineffective, and it was easily killed by Ye Mei.

"Platinum bones of this quality are truly valuable, containing abundant blood and flesh energy. There might be even more in this space." Ye Mei sheathed her sword, casually putting away the giant python's bones. Then, she looked around and scratched her head. "Which way should we go now?"

A moment later, he took off the long sword from his waist and threw it into the air, scabbard and all. The sword spun a few times in the air, and the scabbard pointed in the direction where Gu Ding and the others were.

At this moment, the Time Acceleration Cabin was also shrinking at a visible speed, then turning into the size of a palm and disappearing into Gu Ding's body.

"Leave here immediately! Hurry!" the Sea Emperor urged.

"Has that Platinum Skeleton caught up with us?" Gu Ding found it strange; he hadn't heard the giant python's roar for a while.

"That giant python was killed by Ye Mei, who just entered the secret realm, and Ye Mei is heading in this direction..." Sea Emperor urged urgently, "Hurry up, he'll be here in a few minutes!"

Gu Ding and the others immediately leaped onto the back of the Golden Skeleton, which then sped away from the scene.

Less than three minutes after Gu Ding and the others left, Ye Mei appeared at the spot where the Time Acceleration Cabin had been. Looking at Esrick, whose brain had been pierced by a single blow, he crouched down to examine him. "This kind of death shouldn't be something that skeleton could have done. Was he human?"

"Young Master Ye Mei!" At this moment, a voice rang out from not far away. It was Angel, who had just escaped from the Scarlet sword. After fleeing, he heard the giant python's roar and came closer to see what those humans were doing.

"Who are you?" Ye Mei naturally wouldn't recognize Angel. In fact, among the Dark Race members who came in this time, Ye Mei knew fewer than five people in total, and Angel was naturally not among them.

"My name is Angel..." After introducing himself, Angel told Ye Mei everything that had just happened. "Young Master Ye Mei, you must catch those despicable humans who dared to steal from the Dark Race."

"It really is human! Old Dad once said that humans are creatures that taste delicious when roasted. I really want to try this delicacy..." As she said this, Ye Mei couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips...
