Ding Yumian, Wei Rong, and Zhang Zhuo were confused. Mo Fan only told them he would be back in a while.

The others had no choice but to wait for him in the woods.

Ding Yumian and Wei Rong wanted to check out the people, and headed into the bunker.

They were sea monsters roaming in the area. They decisively took out all of the sea monsters in the town, preventing them from finding the bunker.

The sea monsters had to have a special way of summoning others of their kind. If a little sea monster somehow found the bunker and discovered the humans hiding in it, it would call a huge number of sea monsters over to feed on them!

As a safety precaution, they thus decided to take out every sea monster in the area!

——

Mo Fan finally returned after two hours.

Zhang Zhuo was waiting in the woods. He noticed Mo Fan did not return empty-handedly; he was dragging some huge fishing boats behind him!

When Mo Fan came closer, Zhang Zhuo realized they were not fishing boats, but huge sea monsters tied in a line.

Swallowing Sea Bass Demons!

Zhang Zhuo and the student representative were dumbfounded.

How insane was Mo Fan? These Swallowing Bass Beasts were Great Commander-level creatures among the sea monsters, but they were tied up like grass carp as they were being dragged through the water.

It was like an old man had returned in the evening with his catch of fish tied around his waist!

“You there, go get a few sacks of seasonings from the city,” Mo Fan pointed at the student representative.

“What do you need seasonings for?”

“Are you really asking that? Haven’t you had grilled fish before?”

Grill fish?

Grill the Swallowing Sea Bass?

Those were powerful and brutal Commander-level sea monsters that would eat every living creature they saw, not the usual grilled fish at a supper stall!

“Senior, are we going to eat sea monsters?” Zhang Zhuo asked him uncertainly.

“Is there a problem with that? I’ve tried them in Japan. You just need to get rid of its scales and skin. These sea monsters from the deep sea have delicious flesh! There’s even a Sea Monster Seafood Street in Japan. They will buy fresh sea monsters for good money!” Mo Fan replied energetically.

Little Flame Belle had already flown out of her Contracted Space as they were talking.

Little Flame Belle was excited when she heard Mo Fan was going to grill something. She reached out her little hands and spat two sparkles on them, rubbing them together like she was about to fight a great battle, but she looked adorable instead!

“Be patient, I’ll remove the scales and skin first. I have to clean their insides, too,” Mo Fan told her.

“Senior, I’m not really good at this,” Zhang Zhuo said hesitantly.

“It’s fine, I can do it, just organize the Swallowing Sea Bass at the back. I think there are about ten of them. I hope they are enough to feed everyone,” Mo Fan answered.

Mo Fan went to the first Swallowing Sea Bass and waved his hand. Spinning blades appeared in the air.

He controlled the spinning blades perfectly. He was once unable to control them so precisely, but he was now a Super Space Mage. It was not difficult for him to use the Space Element for his knife!

Mo Fan was controlling hundreds of Space Blades at the same time. A Swallowing Bass Beast around the size of a truck could be skinned and scaled in just a few minutes. Even its insides were gutted and cleaned away.

Zhang Zhuo’s secondary Element happened to be the Water Element. Mo Fan asked him to clean the Swallowing Sea Bass.

“Little Flame Belle, let’s begin. Make sure they are well done!” Mo Fan told his chef.

“Ling!” Little Flame Belle was overjoyed. She set up an illusionary stove and tossed the first Swallowing Sea Bass onto it.

It did not matter how thick the flesh was. The Heavenly Flames were still able to cook it!

“The fire is too big. Don’t burn it.”

“Ling!”

“Little Flame Belle, use a smaller fire so it’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.”

“Ling!”

Zhang Zhuo was cleaning the Swallowing Sea Bass on the other side. He was lost for words to describe the special pair.

Everyone was nervous due to the dire circumstances. How could a scene like an old father teaching his daughter how to grill fish even happen here?

A pleasant smell was lingering in the air. The first Swallowing Sea Bass was already golden. Mo Fan was preparing the other Swallowing Sea Bass with his air blades as he was seasoning them.

Mo Fan had always stored some seasonings inside his Space Bracelet. As a foodie, he would feel more insecure having no salt, cooking oil, soy sauce, or vinegar than running out of energy while he was in the wild.

The seasonings and aroma would surely have attracted all the sea monsters within ten kilometers if Mo Fan had not set up a Barrier, too!

“Here, Zhang Zhuo, have a taste as your reward,” Mo Fan cut off a piece of the Swallowing Sea Bass’ flesh.

It was only a tiny piece of flesh from the Swallowing Sea Bass, but it was bigger than a man’s palm. A Swallowing Sea Bass was enough to feed a lot of people!

“Thank you, senior!” Zhang Zhuo was surprised that he got to have the first taste.

He was starving after fighting the sea monsters over a long period, but he did not have the appetite to eat after seeing many gory scenes.

However, the grilled Swallowing Bass Beast had such a nice aroma that Zhao Zhuo felt like he was about to drool.

Zhang Zhuo took a bite. His expression shifted instantly.

It was absolutely delicious!

Even if it was a little overcooked and lacked seasoning, the flesh was extremely tender. It was completely different from the cultivated seafood and normal catches, as expected of the flesh of a sea monster!

“It’s so delicious. I’ve never eaten anything like it!” Zhang Zhuo took a huge bite. His mouth was now covered in grease. He had an urge to pounce on the golden Swallowing Sea Bass and munch on it!

“Mm, do you feel sick or anything?” Mo Fan asked him.

“Sick? Do you mean does it taste fishy? Not really, it’s very fresh,” Zhang Zhuo said.

“No, not that. Many sea monsters have high-quality flesh, but their flesh is usually poisonous, helping prevent them from being eaten by other creatures. If you don’t feel sick, it should be fine for the others to eat them. Great, we’ve sorted out the food shortage!” Mo Fan nodded at him.

Zhang Zhuo almost dislocated his jaw.

Senior, you shouldn’t treat your junior like that!

Zhang Zhuo almost burst into tears. He finally realized why Mo Fan and Little Flame Belle had not taken the first bites. They were worried it might be poisonous!

“Senior, how are we going to move them inside the bunker?” Zhang Zhuo asked.

“I’ve set up a teleport point inside the bunker. I’ll teleport them into the bunker!” Mo Fan replied casually.

“Then… I should work harder to clean the rest.. I wouldn’t want the people to starve!” Zhang Zhuo sighed.
