The 'Man with Rotten Sores' gave Huai Shi one last hateful glare before withdrawing his gaze. With great difficulty, he began to concoct the antidote. Every contestant here was a master of poisons. Even if they couldn't completely eradicate the poison, they could still resist the weakened fragrance of the flowers.
After all, he couldn't just go over and stab him.
After being diluted by the iris flowers and the fragrance of the flowers, the effects of the dragon blood were quite limited.
Very quickly, Huai Shi stopped releasing the poison.
Even though the dragon blood was endless, it consumed his own Origin Substance. Even with Huai Shi's large reserves compared to other contestants of the same level, it was still a bit difficult for him to release the poison for more than ten minutes.
After two more people left the stage, there were only four people left on the stage.
Wild Hunt, Man with Rotten Sores, Huai Shi … … and Luo Xian.
Luo Xian was very calm from beginning to end.
It was as if she hadn't noticed anything strange. She was currently sitting on a small stool and looking at the Pickled Fish in her pot … … To be honest, Huai Shi couldn't tell where the poison was at all.
There were no traces or signs of it at all.
It was just a very ordinary pot of Pickled Fish!
Logically speaking, there were only four contestants left in the round of 16, so there was no need to continue the competition. However, the judges didn't stop the competition. Instead, their gazes became even more serious and scrutinizing.
Time quickly passed.
At the forty-fifth minute mark, Wild Hunt was the first to present his work.
— — Salt Roasted Spring Fish.
After the brush swept away the salt on the surface, a strange fragrance spread out along with the cracking of the fish skin. Everyone who smelled the fragrance instantly fell into a trance.
Immediately afterwards, they couldn't help but become excited.
Damn … …
Huai Shi staggered back a step, covering his mouth as sweat poured down his back.
That smell, even though it had drifted so far away, still had a terrifying hallucinogenic effect that wasn't inferior to any Forbidden Medicine. In just a short moment, Huai Shi's eyes were filled with illusions. Countless specks of light appeared out of nowhere, and the entire arena became gorgeous, as if they had ascended to heaven.
The sky and earth were spinning.
If it weren't for the poison resistance that Crow had cultivated, he probably would have already collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth like a drug addict after getting high.
This was under the premise that he had injected an antidote beforehand.
"Oh my god, dark cuisine is so scary!"
Huai Shi covered her nose and almost sucked in a breath of cold air out of habit.
On the other hand, the judges acted as if nothing had happened. Each of them grabbed a skewer and placed it in their mouths, chewing it in large mouthfuls. Crunching sounds rang out, and the alluring aroma immediately became thicker and thicker. It was so tempting that it almost made people want to pounce on it and grab a skewer to eat.
A few minutes later, the grilled fish disappeared from the mouths of the judges. The aroma lingered for a long time, causing all of the remaining contestants to fall into a trance.
"I know you. You were the runner-up of the Rome division ten years ago. I didn't expect you to appear here." The skinny judge looked up. "I thought you would go back to Rome to participate in the audition there."
"Just looking for materials," Wild Hunt said calmly. "And the result? Is my work up to standard, sir? "
"Perfect taste. This deadly illusion is concentrated in the fish. With the explosion of the fish roe, it brings a dazzling sense of depravity. Wonderful work."
The skinny man nodded and praised. "It seems that your attainments have improved. Congratulations. I hope you can achieve new results in the global competition in half a year."
Wild Hunt nodded calmly and turned to the lounge.
The second person to serve the dish was the 'Rotten Man'.
But just as she walked to the front of the judges' table, someone stepped in from the side and blocked her way.
"Sorry, I'll go first."
Through the mask, Huai Shi gave her a happy smile.
She was about to say something, but Huai Shi had already put the plate in his hand on the table. Her face twitched a few times, and she took two steps back. She didn't want to compete with Huai Shi for the order.
Then, she saw Huai Shi secretly raise his middle finger from behind … Her eyes instantly seemed to spit fire.
She couldn't wait to chop this bastard to death.
And Huai Shi had already put the four dishes covered under the cover on the table. He took a step back and smiled at the judges.
"Please —"
Several judges looked at each other, reached out, and opened the cover.
At that moment, everyone was stunned.
The big stadium was silent in an instant.
Because a bright golden light gushed out from under the cover, illuminating pairs of incredulous eyes.
"Light?"
"It emitted light!"
"Is there really a dish in this world that can emit light?"
Even Hippo was stunned on the spot.
"What is this?"
"Ah, after I finished, I saw that there was still time left, so I casually made an earth battery with copper, zinc, and other electrolytes."
Huai Shi calmly reached out and helped him lift the cover, showing him the set of earth battery and tungsten wire welded inside the cover. "How is it? Are you surprised? Are you surprised? "
"…"
Hippo was stunned. After a long time, he couldn't help but laugh.
For the first time in so many years, a contestant actually joked with him.
"It's delightful."
He raised his head and laughed. Then, he rubbed his belly and said with a serious expression, "Contestant, if your dish disappoints me, I will personally place a curse on you."
As he spoke, he looked at the video on the plate.
It seemed to be … a square of butter?
Or something else?
He could vaguely smell the subtle fragrance of flowers, but it was like a big piece of soap, so he didn't know what was going on.
Under the light, he could vaguely distinguish that the outermost layer of gelatinous material was just a shell.
It was a plate.
The real food and delicacies were sealed inside.
"It's really a molecular cuisine?"
Hippo picked up the table knife and spoon, and slightly knocked on the upper layer.
A crisp sound was heard.
Then, a torrent-like spiciness gushed out from it, and in an instant, it seemed to be suffocating. It was indescribably rich. But when he couldn't bear the intense stimulation and was about to cough, the spiciness suddenly turned into a refreshing flower fragrance, soothing the convulsing lungs and pain, gently pulling people into a drowsy and destitute dream.
"Curry?"
The judges were stunned. "It's actually curry?"
As the spoon was retracted from the oil shell, it turned out to be a crystal-like frozen object.
When the pale yellow meat jelly was cut open, a yellow-brown viscous liquid slowly flowed out from it. It was the Dan Dan curry and the squid slices that had been smoldering until now. Once it came into contact with the air, it emitted a fresh fragrance like an explosion.
"Please enjoy the creative molecular cuisine — pigeon curry."
Huai Shi took a step back, took off his apron, and reported the name of the dish with a smile.
"Pigeon?" The judges were stunned.
There was no pigeon!
And this wasn't a pigeon, it was clearly a maggot in the dung sea!
Not to mention the appearance of this yellowish-brown viscous curry and the squid tentacles wriggling inside, just the stimulating smell was enough to make people retreat.
This was no longer the level of purely unpalatable, it was the level of not wanting to eat it!
No, in terms of dark cuisine, this point should be a plus.
But the appearance was only the appearance, the essence should be the final …
Since it was served on the table, the judges wouldn't refuse.
Moreover, the people who were willing to serve as judges of the Demon Chef Competition were basically lunatics who were completely bored after tasting all the beauty in the world, or lunatics who were no longer satisfied by the positive energy feedback and went to the abyss to seek forbidden experiences.
In this world, no matter if it was forbidden drugs, love, war, or any other meaningful or meaningless things, they couldn't touch them at all. Under their greedy desire, they threw themselves into the darkness, embraced the inhuman taboo, and bathed in sin to seek pleasure.
The dish that Huai Shi served was more to their liking.
The premise was that —
The taste of this dish could surprise them!
Otherwise, Huai Shi would have to face ten times the anger and curses, a hundred times the unhappiness and punishment.
"I hope you can bring some surprises."
The hippo took a deep look at Huai Shi, picked up the spoon, and put the spoonful of fish jelly wrapped in thick curry into its mouth, chewing carefully.
Then, all the judges were stunned in place.
All the audience who synchronized their taste with the dish exclaimed in shock.
Because …
There was no taste.
The aroma was clearly so stimulating and domineering, and it looked so spicy and terrifying, but once it entered their mouths, there was no taste at all.
It was like drinking a mouthful of water.
It was empty.
No matter how they chewed and tasted it, they couldn't taste a single trace of taste. It was like eating plastic.
It was tasteless.
After a moment of hesitation, they ate another spoonful.
There was still no taste.
There seemed to be a little bit of a feeling, but the more they explored, the more they couldn't find any trace of it. What replaced it was a deep sense of loss and annoyance from not being able to find it after a long time.
As they continued to chew, they seemed to hear frivolous whispers in their ears.
"It's a promise!" "I'll definitely come!" "I'm already on my way!" "I'll be there in five minutes!" "If you don't come, you're a puppy … …"
Those casual words reverberated through the Origin Substance. As the Origin Substance continued to be chewed, the words reverberated in the ears of those who had tasted it. In the end, they were completely enraged.
"Enough!"
The hippo threw down the spoon with all his might, glaring angrily at Huai Shi. "Your arrogance ends here!"
In that instant, he choked and coughed.
Along with the eruption of his anger, the horrifying spiciness contained in the curry and the complicated taste of countless spices swept through his entire mouth from the tip of his tongue along with his uncontrollable anger. It engulfed him like a tidal wave, causing him to be stunned on the spot.
In his daze, he felt like he was surrounded by the sound of countless pigeons flapping their wings. Thousands of cooing sounds spread out from the mutated Origin Substance, causing him to feel dizzy.
From the tastelessness of his resistance to the spiciness of his anger, when he tried to carefully distinguish the taste in his astonishment, the spiciness quickly transformed into a thick sourness, causing his gums to twitch.
As he was being toyed with like this, he felt a deep sense of exhaustion. Even the taste of the frozen fish in his mouth became bitter.
In the end, he was finally able to comprehend something amidst the countless illusions and tastes.
"I probably … …"
The hippo muttered in a daze, "Got stood up?"
