Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 911 - 566: Bro, You Smell Amazing! (Part 2)
Previously on Beast Taming: My Intelligence System...
"The shell of the Panrock Crab is quite similar to that of a soft-shell crab that has recently molted, which is precisely why it needs to absorb so much metal to fortify its own might."
"Its crab meat is incredibly delicate, perfect for sashimi, and exquisitely delicious when fried, carrying a subtle hint of oceanic essence."
As Ye Bai spoke, he proceeded to cleave the Panrock Crab into eight distinct portions.
Stripped of its protective hard shell, the Panrock Crab was effortlessly dismembered by Ye Bai.
"Observe, there’s a substantial amount of roe; once the gills are removed, it’s ready to be savored."
The crab meat, exhibiting a translucence akin to cicada wings, was expertly extracted using the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade.
The Sun Blade of the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade seared the crab meat, releasing a rich and alluring fragrance.
Meanwhile, the Moon Blade preserved the crab meat in its pristine state, carving out portions that seemed to emanate a cool, ethereal light.
The aroma wafting through the air caused the nearby Panrock Crabs to involuntarily swallow, their instincts captivated.
Oh, brother, you smell absolutely divine!
Zhang Aiyu, selecting a piece of the roasted meat with her chopsticks and placing it in her mouth, was immediately enraptured by its taste – it was beyond compare in its deliciousness.
The texture was remarkably crisp, reminiscent of indulging in fatty, fried fish.
It offered a flavor profile that harmonized the exquisite tastes of various premium crabs, a truly superb culinary experience.
"With such an abundance of Panrock Crabs, our feasting can continue for quite some time."
"Ye Bai, I’m feeling a little fatigued; would you mind assisting me with preparing these newly emerged seafood delicacies?"
"I’ve already extended an invitation to your father; exceptional delicacies are meant to be shared with those we cherish."
On this occasion, a considerable number of exotic beasts, resembling marine life, had emerged.
Ye Bai amassed a significant bounty, experiencing a sensation akin to embarking on a thrilling treasure hunt.
However, these exotic beasts were utterly defenseless, much like ducks stranded on dry land.
Their processing was a straightforward matter for Ye Bai.
Yet, while Ye Bai was occupied with the cleanup, a formidable Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor made its appearance.

[Evaluation: The Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor, a relative of the River Dolphin Whale, boasts a venom far more potent and an exceptionally volatile temperament, attacking any perceived prey with the slightest provocation. Its flesh is a prized ruby-red, rumored to surpass even the flesh of the River Dolphin Whale in deliciousness by severalfold.]
Ye Bai gazed upon the imposing Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor, its form entirely encased in gleaming golden scales, and found himself quite taken aback.
What auspicious day is it today?
It seems to be the day when sustenance willingly ventures into the cooking pot.
A Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor!
Amongst ten thousand Toxic Puffer Whales, not a single Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor may ever arise.
It is the sovereign of the Toxic Puffer Whales, lauded for its exceptionally tender meat, reputed to be hundreds of times more delectable than that of ordinary River Dolphin Whales.
A pet beast residing at the apex of Tier Eight, its might indeed appears formidable.
However, Ye Bai is far from an ordinary individual.
The Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor possesses a prominent, venomous horn atop its head, which is, in actuality, one of its transformed teeth.
Its proximity to the skull leads to its misidentification as a poisonous horn.
"Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, proceed forth and subdue that Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor; I shall prepare something exquisite for you in return."
"Its considerable size suggests it should provide sustenance for multiple meals."
The Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor wields a venom capable of instant demise, coupled with formidable corrosive properties.
Yet, these attributes pose no obstacle whatsoever for the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly; its form shifts fluidly, transforming into a Toxic Butterfly Emperor.
It then released a cloud of purple scale powder, its wings beating rhythmically as it ascended into the air.
The Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor opened its massive maw and unleashed a torrent of water.
The surge of water intensified, nearly severing the wings of the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly.
"It seems this fellow is a bit troublesome," the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly mused, its eyes swirling with mischief, and Ye Bai could sense its mind buzzing with devious plots.
"Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor is for us to feast on, no funny business, understand!"
Initially, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly had considered employing its toxins to corrode the creature, but it quickly reconsidered. This was food, after all, and it shouldn't be tainted with venom. Contamination would render it inedible and, worse, could lead to its own poisoning should it transform back into its original form.
"Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, meticulously peel off the scales of the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor, one by one, in a specific sequence. Do you grasp this?" Ye Bai instructed.
"Follow my directive."
The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly gave a solemn nod.
"Emmm, I'm quite familiar with this. Causing destruction is my specialty," chirped the Sunflower Fairy, diligently sharpening two cleavers. Since its recent evolution, it rarely had need for the implements, its current diminutive size making them awkward to wield.
Consequently, the Sunflower Fairy resorted to creating clones to perform the grinding task.
With remarkable precision, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly began expelling resilient insect silk from its mouth, systematically stripping the scales.
"Kid, what exactly are you doing? Instead of finishing this creature swiftly, you're peeling off its scales. That must cause considerable pain," Zhang Aiyu inquired, her voice laced with bewilderment.
"Painful?" Ye Bai echoed.
"Not at all, because the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor is a unique culinary ingredient. Only by removing its scales sequentially, piece by piece, can we proceed to the subsequent stage."
"Otherwise, the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor would indeed become lethally toxic."
"A poison that causes immediate demise upon ingestion," Ye Bai added.
When meals were concerned, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly moved with an astonishing alacrity, as if it hadn't eaten in an eternity.
Not a single scale remained attached; each was meticulously removed.
The Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor seemed to wear an expression of utter indignity.
'This wretched insect dares to strip my magnificent scales,' it seemed to think. 'Very well, if that's how it is, I won't hold back any longer.'
The venomous horn atop the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor’s head began to spin at an alarming velocity.
With a ferocious roar, it charged directly towards the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly.
The rapidly rotating horn pierced the illusionary duplicate that the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly had swiftly conjured the moment the horn began its spin.
"Excellent, Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor, continue your struggle!"
A fissure appeared near the tail of the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor.
Dark, viscous blood began to gush forth – all of it highly poisonous and requiring complete removal to prevent tainting the creature's flesh.
Its internal organs and ovaries were also deemed inedible due to their toxic content.
At this juncture, the Sunflower Fairy brandished its two cleavers, plunging them with fierce intent into the belly of the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor.
The cleavers sliced through the flesh, and a mixture of entrails and blood rained down.
As the blood splattered, the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly transformed into its Blood Gu Saint Butterfly form, expertly manipulating the flowing blood and preventing it from hitting the ground.
A heavy, pungent, fishy odor permeated the atmosphere.
"Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly, adopt your Heavy Water Butterfly form."
A radiant light pulsed across the Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly's body as it shifted into its Heavy Water Butterfly manifestation.
A cascade of water then poured from above, thoroughly drenching and cleansing the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor.
The Ten Thousand Changes Saint Butterfly proceeded to strip away even the tough outer skin of the Toxic Puffer Whale Emperor.
