Deathly silence reigned over the Illusionary Mist Valley.
Chiwil, Dennis, Skol, Scott, Sam, and Monkey stood down below, looking up at the smiling father and daughter duo on the mountain slope. Their eyelids twitched as they swallowed involuntarily.
Of the two Ironhide Bulls, one was dead while the other was sealed in ice. The father and daughter duo were like death gods who had descended from the heavens with ease.
Amy's magic had already stunned them, but Mag's sword strike was so fast that they couldn't even see it, and they couldn't even fathom just how powerful he was.
His speed wasn't very fast, perhaps only comparable to that of a normal 1st-tier knight, but his saber strike was so fast that it was barely visible to the naked eye.
That tiny bull-slaying saber was able to slice open the Ironhide Bull's skin with ease, and what was even more incredible was that the saber strike had taken its life.
In the face of an Ironhide Bull that had virtually no weaknesses, even the most experienced hunter could only think of a way to exhaust its stamina before trapping it with a trap.
No one would try to attack it at close range as its tough and powerful horns were like a pair of scimitars that could deliver a lethal blow to anyone who approached it.
"Who … Who is he?!" Evan's eyes gradually widened as he stared at Meg, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine. If he had attacked Meg at noon, would he have suffered the same fate as this Ironhide Bull?
He suddenly understood why he had been feeling so uneasy at noon. If Meg really wanted to kill him, then he most likely wouldn't even be able to retaliate, not to mention that his daughter was an intermediate magic caster.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission to capture an Ironhide Bull. Mission time consumed: 6h. You have successfully completed the mission within 12h. You have received the right to use the required ingredients and kitchenware, as well as 0.5 strength point and a mooncake recipe! " Right at this moment, the system's voice sounded, and at the same time, a special effect of fireworks appeared in Meg's mind.
"Perfect!" Meg's eyes lit up. Regardless of whether it was the Strength Points or the mooncake recipe, these were all items that Meg needed right now. If he could increase his strength by a large margin, and at the same time, he could start preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, the system was simply sending charcoal in snowy weather. Their trip to Miwu Valley had not been in vain.
"Father is so awesome!" Amy broke the silence as she clapped her little hands and looked up at Meg with admiration.
"Amy is also very good." Meg smiled and patted Amy's head. Then he looked down at Chiwil and the others, who were still silent, and said with a smile, "Miss Chiwil, I think I accidentally stole your prey again. You won't mind, right?"
"Two Ironhide Bulls! We've already become their prey." A wry smile appeared on Chiwil's face as she extended a sincere bow to Meg. "Mr. Meg, you saved our Rose Mercenary Squad. Thank you."
"Mr. Meg, I didn't think that you would be so powerful. You were able to kill an Ironhide Bull with a single slash of your saber. Could it be that you're a 4th-tier knight?" Dennis looked at Meg with an astonished expression. That saber strike had truly stunned him.
"You're far too kind, Miss Chiwil." Meg nodded before shaking his head in a modest manner as he said, "I was just able to kill a bull with ease. If it were any other type of magic beast, I probably wouldn't even be able to take on a 1st-tier one."
At his current level of power, he was indeed not powerful enough to take on a 4th-tier magic beast. However, he had slain tens of thousands of Ironhide Bulls in the test field for the God of Cookery, so he was very familiar with their body structure. As such, he was completely unperturbed by the sight of the charging Ironhide Bull. Instead, he simply judged where he would be able to land a fatal blow with a single slash of his saber.
"Do you think you can kill an Ironhide Bull with a single slash of your saber just because you've killed a lot of bulls?" All of the mercenaries stared at Meg with wide eyes. They felt like this guy was just messing with them, but judging from his serious expression, it appeared that he was telling the truth. Most importantly, the kebabs he made were super delicious. A chef like him really didn't seem like a knight at all.
"I'm going to treat Eva and Evan's injuries first." Chiwil rushed up the mountain. She was quite touched that Evan had stood in front of Eva without any regard for his own safety. All of the members of the mercenary squad were sworn brothers who had gone through thick and thin together, so at the very least, what Evan had just done was passable.
All of the other mercenaries also hurriedly rushed up the mountain. Sam and Skol were lying on the ground. They had also sustained significant injuries during the battle.
"The … the medicine is in the bag. Save … save Master Evan first …" Eva stuttered as she looked at Sivir, and her head tilted to the side as she fainted.
"Save Eva first; I can still hold on." Evan looked at Eva with a concerned expression. His face was deathly pale.
"Go and fix Evan's bones first, then stop the bleeding. We have to get back to Chaos City as soon as possible to find a healer for their injuries." Chiwil untied a bag from Eva's body before handing over all types of medicine to Dennis and Monkey. He then turned around to block everyone's view before removing Eva's clothes and beginning to treat her injuries.
"Father, what should we do now?" Amy asked as she looked at Meg.
"We can provide some help to Uncle Sam and Uncle Skol. For example, we can give them some ice to use as ice packs to alleviate their pain." Meg carried Amy down the mountain. He had a good impression of Sam and Skol, so he was quite concerned to see them injured.
Sam and Skol had been rammed by the Ironhide Bull, but thankfully, they had taken precautions and avoided being struck in any vital areas, so their injuries were still manageable.
Skol seemed to have broken one of his ribs, while Sam's injuries were slightly better. There was only a gash on his stomach, but he wasn't bleeding very much. With Amy's help, his pain was greatly alleviated.
Chiwil and the others bandaged the wounded. Evan and Eva's injuries were quite severe, but they weren't life-threatening for the time being, so everyone heaved a collective sigh of relief.
Meg looked at the sweaty Chiwil, and said, "We only need one of these Ironhide Bulls. If you need the other one, I can give it to you. After all, if you didn't chase them all the way here, we might not have been able to find them."
Chiwil looked into Meg's eyes, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, but I'll have to trouble you again," Meg said with a smile.
"It's my pleasure." Chiwil nodded, and began to treat the wounded and frozen Ironhide Bull before preparing to return to Chaos City.
…
Dusk was approaching, but there were still many customers gathered outside Amy's.
Some of them were unaware that Amy's was closed, while others were aware that the restaurant was closed, so they wanted to try their luck and see if the restaurant would reopen at night.
However, all of them were drawn to a certain person at the entrance of the restaurant, and gathered around him as if they were spectating a show.
Ricky raised his chubby hand high into the air, and yelled with an excited expression, "I'm going to repeat myself one last time. Owner of Amy's, if you're in the restaurant and you're a man, then respond. As long as you admit that your cooking skills are inferior to mine and apologize to me in front of everyone, then I'll let you go. Otherwise, accept my challenge and have a cooking duel between men!"
All of the customers discussed spiritedly among themselves, speculating whether Meg would appear and accept Ricky's challenge. There were also people who were curious about the conditions of Ricky's challenge.
"Hmph, a coward doesn't deserve to be a chef in the Aden Square!" A vibrant smile appeared on Ricky's face, and his mood swelled even further. He refused to believe that Meg had really gone out to gather ingredients. He had to have gone into hiding because he was afraid of losing to him. Otherwise, why would he leave his business and go out for an entire day?
Ricky looked at all of the customers gathered in front of the restaurant. Mamy Restaurant really was a golden chicken. He rolled his eyes, and waved his arm as he said, "If you think the stakes are still too low, then I've decided to raise the stakes again. The loser of this roast meat duel will have to pay three prices: one, kowtow to the loser and call them father three times; two, give all of the recipes in their restaurant to the loser; and three, give up the ownership of the entire restaurant!"
