Chapter 266
"Aww!"
Humans opening their "blood-red maws" at Void creatures—this is the first time in Runeterra's history.
Chen Ce bit down on one of the legs that was thrashing about.
The Feast begins!
The instant he unleashed the skill, Chen Ce's entire digestive tract was covered in magic, from his teeth to his stomach, all of which appeared as a phantom resembling [Void Terror Cho'Gath].
The Void creature's hard carapace was as fragile as a layer of soft chicken skin in front of his sharp teeth; it broke with a single bite—and the crunching sound was quite pleasant, even satisfying.
With its shell broken, the meat inside could easily be chewed up, and traces of corrosive and extremely foul-smelling blood dripped from the corners of its mouth, making it look rather horrifying.
The blood that dripped onto the clothes even corroded a large hole in them.
Their eating manners were rather unseemly.
Soon, Chen Ce had thoroughly devoured and cleaned the entire thigh.
The [Feast] effect transformed this large piece of meat into energy, which enhanced the body after being absorbed.
Chen Ce immediately felt much better, and his sense of strength was more pronounced than before—although the energy of just one leg was very limited, the increase was definitely real.
He could sense it.
As long as you keep eating and eating... you'll eventually attain enlightenment in the physical body!
Chen Ce looked at the dying Void creature with satisfaction.
Then... I almost threw up.
"It's truly a case of 'bitter medicine tastes good'... This meat smells a thousand times worse than canned herring..."
It's hard to swallow...
"Never mind, never mind... No matter how tough the conditions are, I have to be kind to myself..."
As Chen Ce muttered to himself, he completely obliterated the Void creature before him, then pulled out the Seraph's Blade that had pinned it down.
Magic surged, and sacred flames rose.
"The most primal difference between humans and wild animals is that humans can use fire... and they have to roast it to eat."
They fought from day to night, and the foolish caravan was naturally saved.
Void creatures are already difficult to swallow, Chen Ce really didn't want to find a piece of human flesh while gnawing on a "Void creature's belly".
As payment... well, payment... they gave it voluntarily... perhaps...
Chen Ce obtained several barrels of fine wine and pure water, as well as some real food—beef jerky, biscuits, and the like—which he could eat with the flesh of the Void creatures.
The staple food and side dishes must be properly matched.
The main focus is on nutritional balance.
The flames of the Seraph's Blade burned below, while above were strings of Void creature flesh, and wisps of smoke rose from the bright "campfire."
However, the taste... is quite different from what I remember about barbecue.
It stinks, it stinks so bad...
"But it's not like you can't eat it... It's better than eating it raw..." Chen Ce picked up a meat skewer and smacked his lips.
After a moment's hesitation, he pinched his nose and prepared to gulp it down.
Just then, a soft footstep sounded behind him.
The distance was still quite far, and the other party was being very cautious... The person was deliberately concealing their footsteps, but they still couldn't escape Chen Ce's keen senses.
Chen Ce put down the meat skewers and casually glanced back.
Then... he caught a glimpse of a purple figure.
The other party suddenly accelerated.
They pounced on him like hungry Void creatures.
Are there any survivors...?
Chen Ce shrugged and slowly gripped the hilt of the Seraph's Blade.
But as the "monster" rapidly approached, he suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Because... this is not a monster.
Or rather, not entirely.
This is a person who has been "parasitized" by Void creatures.
Her entire body was encased in a living carapace made of Void creatures, and when she ran, she could use this Void carapace to spray some Void energy backward as a "booster" to accelerate.
She also realized that Chen Ce had discovered her.
So she shouted in alarm—her voice, hidden beneath the shell of Void, became hoarse and unpleasant:
"Don't eat it! The flesh of those monsters is poisonous!"
Thump! The Daughter of the Void approached in the blink of an eye.
She raised her hand.
It emitted energy similar to plasma.
And then...
Sizzle, sizzle... The freshly grilled meat skewer in Chen Ce's hand turned into a piece of charcoal—no, burnt powder!
Chen Ce's eyes twitched as he watched the food he had painstakingly prepared turn into a pile of powder.
The Daughter of the Void... Kai'Sa...
You deserve to die!

Secretly open a bounty
The last time I offered a bounty was before the game was even released, which is several months ago now. I happen to have some free time lately, so I thought I'd start another one.
(Regarding the previous bounty, based on the word counts of 150,000, 160,000, 150,000, and 190,000 in the months following the bounty, the added word count is 3 + 4 + 3 + 7 = 140,000, which is equivalent to 70 chapters of 2,000 words each and 35 chapters of 4,000 words each. Although it wasn't specifically stated, theoretically, we've already exceeded the target.)
So we can start another bounty OvO
The reward is as follows:
Monthly pass 200/chapter
3000 recommendation votes per chapter
100 blades per chapter
Please use the cat biscuits to exchange for razor blades as a reward OvO
Golden Treasure Chest = Chapter 16
Silver Treasure Chest = 5 Chapters
(Even though there's a high chance of getting a treasure chest, I still have to mark it! It's a matter of pride!)
There are no upper limits to the above data; it's the familiar unlimited bounty system.
The reward for "one chapter" is 4000 words, and it will be calculated based on the total number of words updated (it would be too troublesome to calculate it for every additional chapter...).
I'll just offer a bounty... because I'm not very confident, I'll keep it open for three days straight.
(Please support me, don't make Cola too embarrassed, lol)
Current data: Monthly tickets 2701, Recommendations 36702, Cat biscuits 230,400, Blades 7085

Chapter 113 Kai'Sa: Oh no, I've run into an idiot.
Chen Ce's meat skewers were gone.
Behind them were only the corpses of a few Void creatures—and over time, those corpses were swallowed up by the quicksand.
Of course, he couldn't eat that many originally. He only planned to eat ten or eight heads from the start—the [Feast]'s conversion ability was limitless, but even with the enhancement, his stomach had its limits. He would have to take it slow and eat ten or eight heads.
Originally, ten or eight were just enough to feed for a while and sustain them until they found the next Void creature "nest".
But now...
"Are you an outsider? Don't you know this flesh is poisonous?" A human woman clad in Void armor unleashed a torrent of plasma energy in an instant, dissolving the corpses of the Void creatures.
"Even if you're starving, you can't eat this meat; it's tantamount to suicide."
Encased in a Void shell, her voice didn't sound pleasant; instead, it had a sharp, hoarse quality... somewhat jarring.
Her tone carried a hint of reproach, but more than that, it was filled with concern—and a sense of relief.
Fortunately, they arrived just in time... otherwise, another innocent person would have died in this desert.
"..." Chen Ce looked at the dissolved slime on the ground, his heart bleeding.
Just as he was about to get angry, the "monster" in front of him suddenly reached out a hand.
There was a piece of... candy in her palm?
"If you're really too hungry, then eat this."
"..." Chen Ce was a little taken aback.
Kai'Sa, the Daughter of the Void, thought he was afraid—afraid of her terrifying appearance.
Yes, that's a normal human reaction.
A monster infested by the Void... No one is unafraid of her. In the past, people would scream and run away at the mere sight of her, so this young man was already considered quite bold.
Oh no, maybe he's just particularly timid and is frozen in fear right now? Hehe... that's possible too.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous—the 'toxins' in my body won't seep into the candy." The girl's hoarse voice suddenly softened—not just in tone, but in fact.
The Void armor that covered her entire head began to peel away, settling like liquid at her neck.
She looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Perhaps because she is not exposed to direct sunlight most of the time, her skin is very fair, delicate, and even dewy, even in the desert.
Her features were also very striking—not as alluring as Ahri, nor as "serious" as Irelia, but in no way inferior in beauty. Though she possessed a youthful naiveté, she exuded a mature charm—she had experienced far too much.
As for her figure... even though her entire body below the neck was covered by Void Armor, her shapely curves were still very obvious. She wasn't particularly "busty," but she had a slender, athletic look with defined muscles.
It gives off a very youthful and innocent vibe.
"What are you still spacing out for? Don't you want it?" Kai'Sa, now revealing her true form, frowned, slightly annoyed—she had saved the other person and generously given them food, yet the other person was looking at her like she was a monster?
Although she's been called a monster for a long time, as the person who was rescued, shouldn't they at least not look at her like that, even if they don't say thank you?
"Oh, oh, oh..." Chen Ce snapped out of his daze and quickly took the candy from the other person's hand. "Thank you. May I ask your name?"
"My name is Kai'Sa," the girl said, pointing to the rock wall in front of her. "The curses and names on those stone walls refer to me."
"Then I think the people who wrote those words must be idiots." Chen Ce smiled and popped a candy into his mouth—strawberry flavored, very sweet.
"Miss Kai'Sa is a very helpful and kind person."
