The moment the five people took their seats, eight dishes suddenly appeared out of thin air on the table.
Yi Lan, who was beside them, quickly reminded, "Try not to look at these dishes. This is your first time entering the Gluttony Hell. If you stare at them for too long, you'll inevitably feel fear. If that fear lasts too long, your soul will easily become corrupted..."
As she was speaking, she saw Li Shuang gazing at the dishes with a calm expression. Her eyes were as still as an ancient well, showing no trace of fear.
Yi Lan couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
She couldn't help but glance at the eight dishes in front of her!
Including this time, it was her third visit to Gluttony Hell. The first time she came, she almost fainted, but she was nowhere near as composed as the person in front of her.
Was she really a newcomer?
"First, let me introduce you to this main course." A skin-covered skeleton grinned, picking up a pulsating heart.
The owner of this heart had been dead for who knows how long, yet the heart was still beating rhythmically.
The surface of the heart was covered with greenish-black angiomas, each one completely encasing the heart, making it unbearable to look at.
"Do you think the main ingredient of this dish is this heart? No, no, no, the main course is these delicious vegetables."
The skin-covered skeleton smiled, plunging a claw into one of the angiomas. The angioma burst open, and green liquid flowed out, staining the green vegetables beneath.
A foul stench suddenly erupted.
The skin-covered skeleton, however, sniffed, revealing an expression of immense pleasure. "This dish is the top delicacy of Gluttony Hell, the Rotten Fern. Everyone must try this main course."
He said.
The dish was divided into five portions and placed in front of the five people.
In front of each person was a small, pulsating heart, beneath which lay a layer of sticky vegetable leaves.
"Quick, eat," the skin-covered skeleton urged.
The smell of the dish was too awful, and the sight too shocking. The faces of the few people couldn't help but change.
The little girl next to them clearly showed a hint of disgust.
The Meat Mountain was explaining something in a low voice. Although the little girl's face was still unpleasant, she reluctantly nodded.
Then.
The Meat Mountain directly cut open the angiomas. Once the vegetables were completely stained with the liquid, his mouth suddenly widened, and all the vegetable leaves rushed into his mouth, vying for space.
"Good, good, good!"
All the skin-covered skeletons clapped in unison!
"Well done!"
"We love to see people who can eat so much!"
"I like this young man, let him stay forever!"
"Stay, stay."
A round of cheers erupted in the arena.
The Meat Mountain swallowed the contents with some difficulty. The next moment, his heart began to beat violently.
Thump, thump, thump!
His heartbeat grew faster and faster!
It was as if a heart inside his chest was about to burst through and escape!
The Meat Mountain gritted his teeth, using various secret techniques to force his heart back to normal, but his face was pale, clearly indicating he had suffered a severe injury.
However, the Meat Mountain paid no mind to his own injuries. He carefully took out a pill and handed it to the little girl beside him.
The little girl snorted coldly, swallowing the pill expressionlessly, and then ate the foul-smelling vegetable leaves.
She clearly hadn't experienced such hardship before; her face turned a sickly green, and sweat instantly poured down her forehead.
But perhaps due to the pill, her condition was much better than the Meat Mountain's. After only half a moment of adjusting her breathing, the little girl's expression returned to normal.
"Good, good, good. Another good child."
"Good child, good child. I like good children."
"Such a good child, let her stay!"
"For the next dish, we'll use her, how about that?"
The skin-covered skeletons shouted one after another.
The little girl glared angrily at the skin-covered skeletons. The Meat Mountain quickly whispered soothing words, and she reluctantly held back.
"It's your turn, it's your turn."
The skin-covered skeletons all looked at the remaining three people.
"If you don't eat it soon, you'll die, you know." One skeleton spoke with a hint of malice.
A sand timer had appeared in his hand at some point, and a large portion of the sand had already run out.
Clearly.
If they didn't eat the main course before the sand timer ran out, the consequences would likely not be good.
"This is the main course, you must eat it," Yi Lan said softly. "Generally, the main course isn't fatal, but it will have various negative effects. In a place like this, once you're affected, it will definitely impact your ability to cope later. So, use whatever means you have."
After Yi Lan finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Li Shuang. She and the purple light simultaneously ate the main course.
Li Shuang looked at the still-beating heart without changing her expression.
Her hand gently touched the plate.
"Detected: Corrupted Heart Vegetable. Corrupted Heart Vegetable only grows when nourished by the heart of a demonic beast above rank six. Direct consumption will cause one to slowly fall into a state of confusion, eventually leading to complete madness. Corrupted Heart Vegetable can be used to refine Heart-Devouring Pills. Value: Evil 400 value points."
Li Shuang raised an eyebrow. She suddenly asked the presiding skin-covered skeleton, "Is this plate of food mine?"
Perhaps it was the first time someone had asked such a question, the skin-covered skeleton paused, a strange grin spreading across its mouth. Its voice was sharp, "Of course! I am most generous. This dish is entirely yours, please enjoy it as soon as possible."
Li Shuang smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
Skin-covered skeleton: "???"
This was truly something new!
In all this time.
It was the first time he had heard someone thank him!
It left him a little bewildered.
Li Shuang tilted her head, then remembered something. She continued to ask, "Besides this dish, can all the other dishes belong to me?"
Li Shuang looked expectantly at the remaining dishes on the table, and the dishes held by the surrounding skin-covered skeletons.
Skin-covered skeleton: "???"
He had never heard such an outrageous request.
His skin even fell to the ground for a moment, revealing the skeletal frame underneath.
But he quickly put the skin back on.
The skin-covered skeleton gave Li Shuang a sinister smile. "To send every guest home satisfied, that is my greatest wish. If the guest desires it, all these dishes can, of course, be yours."
Li Shuang's eyes suddenly lit up.
This...
Was this real?
If one dish was worth several hundred value points, how many value points could all these dishes together be exchanged for?
Wouldn't she... wouldn't she be rich?
Perhaps Li Shuang's eyes were too kind, and the skin-covered skeleton couldn't help but add, "Of course, not just you, other guests also need to go home satisfied."
"Oh," Li Shuang responded, her eyes showing a hint of regret.
This made the skin-covered skeleton a little flustered. He took a breath, and his voice suddenly became sharp, "So, are you still not eating? Time is almost up!"
