Centipedes are commonly used medicinal ingredients, warm in nature, pungent in taste, and poisonous.
So Yang Tao's face turned green.
Kagome, who was beside him, asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Yang Tao shook his head slightly and said with great certainty, "It must not have been fried thoroughly."
In reality, the poison of a demon centipede is much stronger than that of an ordinary centipede, and with the addition of demonic energy, it was quite normal for Yang Tao to be poisoned.
However...
Deep-fried centipede meat could also be considered a type of ingredient.

"Let's eat later, we have guests."
"Guests?"
Uninvited guests.
Kagome hadn't sensed them yet, but Inuyasha, who was beside her, looked up at the dark cloud flying from a distance in the sky.
"They're here!"
Standing on the dark cloud were two figures, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, but they weren't like the fat and thin monks; rather, they were a young man and a plump, fair-skinned demon.
They were the Thunder Brothers, Hiten and Manten, Inuyasha's main enemies in the early stages.
They quickly descended above the courtyard, looking down at the few people in the courtyard from above.
"Haha, as expected, my senses weren't wrong. Hand over the Shikon Jewel shard immediately..."
Yang Tao slowly stood up and looked at Hiten, who was speaking. The other party looked like a young man of seventeen or eighteen, with long hair tied in a ponytail and a somewhat slender build, especially compared to his younger brother, Manten, beside him.
The other party's youthful face carried a wild smile. Yang Tao suddenly turned his head and whispered to Inuyasha beside him:
"Inuyasha, see? This is called blatant robbery."
Shippo also saw the Thunder Brothers in the sky, and his emotions immediately became agitated. He jumped up and down, ready to fight the two, but Yang Tao pressed his head down and threw him to Kagome.
"Shippo, watch and see what power is!"
White energy rose from Yang Tao's body. The faint sound of a blade being drawn still echoed in the ears of the humans and demons, but Yang Tao's figure had already disappeared from his original spot, appearing behind the Thunder Brothers.
Fast, extremely fast.
Both his movement and his draw of the Yamato.
By the time the Thunder Brothers reacted, Hiten's limbs had already been severed by the Yamato.
He arrived in front of Hiten and, in his disbelieving gaze, reached out and directly plucked the three Shikon Jewel shards embedded in his forehead.
A trickle of blood flowed out.
"It actually grew into his flesh..."
Hiten said with a fierce expression, "You..."
Pfft, the Yamato pierced into Hiten's chest, and its power was unleashed without restraint.
"Shh, don't speak, you're ruining my moment."
His gaze turned to Manten beside him. Manten came to his senses and opened his mouth full of sharp teeth. The power of lightning condensed in his mouth.
This was Manten's skill.
Thunder Strike Wave.
The actual effect was spitting lightning.
Yang Tao's movements were very fast. He kicked Manten's chin, then reached out and pinched his wide mouth, which was split to his ears. Lightning continuously overflowed from the corners of his mouth. Fortunately, this lightning was condensed from his demonic power; otherwise, this strike could have directly cooked him.
"Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon."
Hiten's originally contemptuous gaze had turned to extreme terror. Having his limbs severed could only be described as an injury for demons of their level.
But this strange demonic blade was directly absorbing the demonic energy within his body, which was tantamount to taking his life.
"The Thunder... Beast... clan will not let you off."
Yang Tao showed an incomparably gentle smile: "Oh? There's an entire clan? That's really good. Don't worry, if I get the chance, I'll send them to find you."
Seeing Hiten's life almost at rock bottom, Yang Tao pulled out the Yamato, letting Hiten fall freely downwards.
Seeing what happened to his older brother, Manten fell into a strange madness. The two Shikon Jewel shards attached to his forehead emitted an eerie light, and in an instant, his demonic energy surged.
But the next moment, Yang Tao dug out the Shikon Jewel shards from his forehead, along with his few remaining hairs.
Before Manten could feel bad about his hair, Yang Tao dragged him and slammed him into the ground at an extremely fast speed.
Boom...
The earth trembled.
A three-meter-deep circular pit appeared on the ground outside the courtyard. Even though Manten was a demon with a strong body, he coughed up blood and lay motionless at the bottom of the pit after such an attack.
Yang Tao reached out and untied the entire fox pelt from his waist. The golden-yellow fox pelt felt very good to the touch, and under the sunlight, it even seemed to glow.
He carried the unconscious Manten back into the courtyard, casually throwing him next to the dying Hiten. He walked to Kagome's side, handed the fox pelt in his hand to Shippo, and said with a gentle smile, "Shippo, this is for you."
Shippo numbly took his father's fur, hugged it to his chest, and stared blankly at the smile on Yang Tao's face. At this moment, he felt as if he had seen a god.
"Master..."
"Just call me by my name, Yang Tao. Don't forget, okay?"
Yang Tao reached out and patted Shippo's head, continuing, "If you want revenge, you can do it yourself. If you don't want to, that's fine too."
Shippo was very timid.
If he killed the Thunder Brothers, then he would train Shippo to become a powerful demon in the future.
If he didn't dare, then he would make Shippo into a supportive mascot.
He walked back to the fence where the Shikon Jewel shards were tied, looked at the five Shikon Jewel shards he had just acquired, and Yang Tao pondered for a moment, deciding not to leave them outside.
Having two shards as bait was already strong enough.
He sat back down in the office chair and took out a lot of food from his backpack.
"I'm hungry from fighting. Inuyasha, Kagome, want to come and eat something?"
Inuyasha stared at Yang Tao. He really couldn't understand why Yang Tao could be so strong when he didn't have any demonic energy on him.
Kagome, on the other hand, focused her gaze on the Thunder Brothers. She didn't know the personalities or actions of these two brothers, but with her kind heart, she felt that these two demons were a bit pitiful.
However, she didn't open her mouth to ask Yang Tao to let them go. It was still the same thing: she didn't know if these two brothers were good demons.
Hearing Yang Tao's words, she came to her senses and brought Shippo, who was still crying while holding his father's fur, to the dining table.
She was about to refuse, but then she saw a table full of food that was not easy to get even in modern society.
Kagome said with a slight blush, "Thank you for the hospitality, Sir Yang."
After eating several kinds of food.
A prompt popped up in Yang Tao's vision:
[Delicious food makes you feel physically and mentally happy. HP limit +1]
'I'm usually quite happy physically and mentally too...'
He silently complained.
At this moment, Jean walked out of the room, followed by several figures: Harry and Conan, as well as Naruto and Sasuke.
Yang Tao was startled when he saw them, then remembered that he had asked them to visit the Overworld these past two days.
'Huh? Did two days pass so quickly? As expected, time flows like water when you're too comfortable.'
