Mythic version of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7238 People are different
As a wanderer, Wei Jun had traveled to all the states of the Han Dynasty. He had been to most places except for a few newly merged states and counties. So he had eaten all sorts of strange things, such as insects and strange deep-sea fish. In short, in Wei Jun's opinion, anything that was not human could be eaten!
That's right. Even if it's poisonous, with Wei Jun's current detoxification ability, extraordinary physical condition, and absurd digestive ability, he can definitely tough it out.

As long as it's not a toxin specifically targeting those with internal energy leaving their bodies or top veterans like him, it's no big deal if he ate it.

In addition, Wei Jun and Guo Si were both ordinary savages, and they had no taboos about food. They would dare to try anything edible. If they didn't have some bottom line, these two beasts would probably take a bite if someone passed by.

Therefore, after joining forces to kill a Yinglong demon god, even though the demon god's remains were still struggling desperately, Wei Jun felt it was necessary to have a couple of bites, since this thing looked edible!
"No, Lao Wei, how come you eat everything?" Wu Yu was a little conflicted. Looking at the piece of flesh in front of him, which they had beaten up like this, was still trying to sprout granulation tissue in preparation for self-recovery. Wu Yu felt a little nauseous. How could he eat something like this?
"Give it a try! In my experience, things that look good aren't necessarily delicious, but things that look ugly might taste really good. And this thing perfectly fits the 'weird-looking' description, so I think it should be pretty tasty," Wei Jun said with a hint of excitement.

"Then you eat, I won't. To be honest, I think we should eat some veal or lamb or something like that." Wu Yu was silent for a while, then decided that he shouldn't get involved in this.

It wasn't that Wu Yu was picky about food; he had also gnawed on tree bark. To be honest, which ordinary soldier during Emperor Ling's reign hadn't gnawed on tree bark? Even a poor kid like Liu Bei, who had a clan, had fallen to the level of selling straw sandals. It wasn't very normal for ordinary people to gnaw on tree bark.

But that was before. Now that Lord Chen is alive, there are so many proper things to eat. Why would he insist on eating such strange things? Wu Yu said he really didn't understand. Could something that looks so weird be so delicious?
Even if it were delicious, why would I eat something I've never seen before? Wouldn't it be better to eat my Youzhou veal? Or my fatty lamb?
I, the dignified cavalry instructor of Youzhou, usually pretend to be Liu Yu's manager of the Liaodong ranch when I have nothing to do. Every now and then, I buy up the cattle and sheep stuck on the fence posts at a low price. As for how the cattle and sheep got stuck on the fence posts, don't worry about that. Anyway, I didn't catch them and forcibly trap them there!
Every now and then, they'd have stewed beef or mutton soup and offal, living a really good life. And since western Liaoning is by the sea, they could get seafood from time to time. They could also get connections at the state-run fishing industry there, maybe even get a security captain's name, and then they could get seafood.

Any of these things taste better than this weird stuff. How good could this thing possibly be?
What are you eating?!

Do not eat!

"Are you sure you don't want to try it?" Wei Jun didn't say anything when he saw Wu Yu refuse. He had noticed before that people these days are very picky about what they eat. Forty years ago, if there was a piece of meat on the roadside, no matter what kind of meat it was, even if it was human flesh, they would eat it. Let alone this thing that looks like Yinglong, why can't we eat it!
Wei Jun immediately took out a flint and started a fire on the spot. He then took out his secret thirteen-spice powder and refined salt from his pocket and began cooking on the spot. In order to make the meat less tough, he even used his vibration talent to massage the large pieces of meat, breaking the muscle fibers, and then began to roast it.

On the flames, the piece of meat began to struggle frantically. Wu Yu watched this scene and thought that Wei Jun had really gone mad. He would eat anything and everything. This thing was considered meat?

Okay, seriously, if it were thirty years ago, when I was on my deathbed, I probably would have taken a bite of this weird stuff too. But that was thirty years ago. Why bother now? Right? This isn't how you remember the bitter past and appreciate the sweet present!

"This thing doesn't look like it'll be hard to cook through!" Wei Jun roasted it for about ten minutes, and finally found that it didn't seem to be cooked through because it was still struggling. Although the buds were protruding less and the meat was wriggling more slowly, it was still struggling. Its vitality was indeed somewhat defying the heavens.

"Looks like you can only eat raw food," Wu Yu said irritably.

Wei Jun thought for a moment, and considered taking out the breastplate from his armor and grilling it on the spot. But then he thought that he had to maintain a certain image when he was with Wu Yu. If Wu Yu saw him doing this kind of thing with his armor all the time, he would probably grumble the whole way. So he decided to keep it simple and continue grilling!
The fire continued to blaze, and after another ten minutes of roasting, the meat stopped moving altogether. Wei Jun quickly sprinkled some thirteen-spice powder and salt on it, then cut it into pieces and popped them into his mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not cooked yet, the meat is still pink inside." Wu Yu said with some concern, looking at the pieces of meat that Wei Jun had cut.

"Just grill it a couple of times, my digestion is fine, no need to worry!" After saying that, Wei Jun threw the meat into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then swallowed it with difficulty.

"What's wrong? Doesn't it taste good?" Wu Yu said with a hint of teasing.

"Damn it, play dead." Wei Jun swallowed the piece of demonic flesh hanging in his throat with difficulty, and then decisively activated his supermodel digestive ability to start digesting the thing.

"Huh?" Wu Yu was also surprised. To be able to play dead even in this state was impressive. "What does it taste like? How does it eat?"

"The texture is pretty good, quite chewy. Have you ever eaten live baby octopus?" Wei Jun explained to Wu Yu while activating his supermodel digestive abilities.

"I've never eaten that. The most I've ever eaten is raw baby octopus. Eating it alive like that is a way of eating it in Korea. I don't eat that kind of thing," Wu Yu said, shaking his head.

"It's similar to that thing. You can try it sometime," Wei Jun said admiringly, then swallowed all the pieces of Yinglong Demon God meat.

Compared to the first piece which was so spicy it hurt his throat, Wei Jun was more experienced with the rest of the meat and ate it all in a few bites.

"Wow, it actually clumped together in my stomach. That's interesting." After eating all those big chunks, Wei Jun took a couple of steps and realized that the meat chunks had clumped together in his stomach. He immediately looked shocked.

"You can do that?" Wu Yu was dumbfounded. "Quick, quick, spit it out!"

"It's already gone into my stomach, why would I be afraid of it?" Wei Jun said with a sneer. "You wait here for a moment, I'll go refine this thing away. It's already in my stomach, why are you still sticking together!"

After speaking, Wei Jun sat down cross-legged and began to suppress the demon god's flesh. His super digestive ability and the absurd belief that you are what you eat were successfully activated at this moment. Wei Jun only took half an hour to completely digest the demon god's flesh.

"Done! It's so nutritious! After digesting this, I feel refreshed and my energy levels have increased significantly." Wei Jun jumped up and checked himself over, feeling that his previous fatigue had completely disappeared. "This really is a top-quality, high-energy nutritional supplement!"

After speaking, Wei Jun suggested that Wu Yu try a piece again. Wu Yu looked at Wei Jun, considering their camaraderie from their time fighting together on the Ganges River, and how Wei Jun looked radiant after eating it, Wu Yu hesitated for a moment before deciding to try a piece as well.

Cook it again, cut it into pieces, and serve it to the two of you.

"Not good!" Just a few seconds after Wu Yu ate the flesh of the Yinglong Demon God, he realized something was wrong. The flesh began to erode his stomach wall after entering his stomach. Wu Yu was shocked and jumped back. He immediately looked at Wei Jun, who looked bewildered, and made sure that Wei Jun was still Wei Jun and not the version corrupted by the demon god. Wu Yu raised his hand and launched a strong shockwave, striking directly into his stomach in a penetrating manner, severely damaging the piece of Yinglong Demon God's flesh in one blow.

Wu Yu then forced himself to endure the discomfort and vomited the piece of meat.

The piece of meat that was spat out was no longer in the form that Wu Yu had eaten before. It had some muscle texture and had been twisted. When it was spat out, it was even wriggling on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yu raised his hand and unleashed a high-frequency oscillation, instantly shattering the chunk of meat.

"What's wrong?" Wei Jun looked at Wu Yu, puzzled.

“I can’t eat this meat! Once it’s in my stomach, it will start to erode me and even try to assimilate me,” Wu Yu said solemnly.

Wei Jun was completely bewildered upon hearing this. He picked up a piece of meat with his halberd, watched it struggle slightly, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it. Erosion? What erosion!

"Uh?" Wu Yu looked at Wei Jun's situation and didn't know what to say.

Just as the two were staring at each other, a huge commotion came from the south, and then the half-crippled Jiang Guang led the charge out, followed by Jiang Guang and the others who also fought their way out in a disheveled state.

"Jiang Guang, Zhao Ying, over here!" Wei Jun called out loudly when he saw the group.

"Wei Jun, how many variations does the vacuum gun have!" Zhao Ying asked loudly when she saw Wei Jun, after all, seeing these two here felt very strange.

"How many variations are there in a vacuum gun?" Wei Jun was stunned for a moment, his mind blank. "I don't know!"

"Alright, it's confirmed!" Zhao Ying changed direction and joined Wei Jun.

"Damn, what do you mean by that?" Wei Jun took a moment to process what Zhao Ying was saying before realizing that she seemed to be stirring up trouble.

"Just like I don't know how many variations the Shadow Soldier has, as long as it works, it's fine. If I come across a new one, I'll just copy it." Zhao Ying explained casually, and Wei Jun thought that Zhao Ying's words made sense.

"Although I don't know why you're here, you're grilling meat. Give me a couple of pieces, I'm hungry too. This place is really no place for a human to stay." Jiang Guang said to Wei Jun and Wu Yu. It was absurd to see Wu Yu here, since he should have already returned to Youzhou. As for Wei Jun, it wasn't surprising where he was. Wei Jun's official position was just to wander around aimlessly.

"I advise you not to eat this kind of thing," Wu Yu said very seriously.

Meanwhile, Zhang Huang and the others who had followed also frowned as they looked at the mangled corpse of the demon god Yinglong. Could such a thing really be eaten?
"It seems to be a demon god?" Wang Mao transmitted his voice to Guang Yuan.

“We can’t eat it. This stuff is very corrosive, especially since they’re not even dead yet,” Guangyuan said, shaking his head. “Are these two really okay?”

“No problem, the will is completely unified, there are no signs of being eroded. That guy named Wei Jun is really digesting and absorbing the demon god.” Zhang Huang shook his head and said, he also felt it was strange.

At the same time, Wu Yu had already explained to Jiang Guang and Zhao Ying what this thing was all about. Then, Jiang Guang and Zhao Ying naturally looked at Zhang Huang, since Zhang Huang was definitely the one who understood the thing called self-will the most among them.

“Normal people can’t eat this kind of thing. Even those below the fifth level who come into contact with it may be corroded. Of course, if the amount is small, they can withstand it and it will be gradually eliminated by the human body. But if the amount is large, eating this may result in being swallowed up by the body.” Zhang Huang gave a clear answer after only a quick glance. The regenerative ability of the demon god and the problem of self-will in the life essence are very difficult to solve. This is an important reason why the demon god is difficult to kill.

Similarly, this is why Zhao Ying used Slaughter Absorption to extract the life essence of the demon god and then used it for healing. Without Slaughter Absorption, the self-will within the life essence of the demon god cannot be erased. To be precise, Slaughter Absorption cannot completely erase it, but after Slaughter Absorption erases most of it, those who can withstand Slaughter Absorption do not care about that bit of external will within the life essence; they can simply erase it along with it.

This is why, out of ten investigators who came to Yunmengze, only five could be treated using Zhao Ying's treatment method; the others were injured and would have died from the treatment.

"Oh, can this still happen? I don't think there's anything wrong with me," Wei Jun said, puzzled.

"Let's talk as we walk." Zhang Huang raised his sword and erased the self-will of the Yinglong Demon God, leaving only its ever-expanding physical body.

“From a certain perspective, you are special. Many people believe that they can digest and absorb anything they eat. This self-awareness, combined with strong basic qualities and willpower, is enough to achieve this. The problem is that most people can’t reach that level.” Zhang Huang led a group of people out and rushed out, explaining as he ran.

In theory, if one insists on digesting the demon god during the sixth level of refining, it is indeed possible. Wu Yu hadn't spat out that piece of flesh before; if he had forced himself to digest it, it would have taken some time, just not as fast as Wei Jun.

"Is that so?" Wei Jun didn't find it hard to understand. After all, one of his unusual phenomena was his superhuman digestive and absorption abilities, which allowed him to extract more nutrients from food. Because of this special phenomenon, he was even identified as a remnant of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Because veterans who came from the Yellow Turban Rebellion all had an exceptionally strong ability to digest and absorb information.

"Give me a piece too. I used my special talent too much today, and I'm starving." Yu Mang called out to Wei Jun. He had been wondering if this thing was edible, but now that Zhang Huang said it was, it was, but it required a strong ability to digest and absorb nutrients, as well as good physique and willpower. Wasn't that perfect? ​​As for whether it was ugly or not, Yu Mang really didn't care.

Wei Jun cut two large pieces for Yu Mang. Due to exhaustion from using her special talent, Yu Mang was supported by Wang Mao and Guang Yuan. She took the two pieces of meat and started gnawing on them. As for the meat struggling while she was eating, it didn't matter. Yu Mang had been pinched by a large crab that was fished out of the pot before. It was just a piece of meat that was moving, so it wasn't a big problem.

After finishing the large bites, his stomach, which had been rumbling, quickly calmed down and began to digest and absorb the food rapidly. Yu Mang, who had been exhausted, quickly felt his strength returning.

"This stuff is great! I felt my energy surge right after I ate it." Yu Mang said excitedly. In the past, when he was really starving, he would need to recover after eating something. He didn't expect this stuff to have such an effect right away, and his energy surged up immediately.

"Old Yu, don't you feel those things causing trouble in your stomach?" Wu Yu asked tentatively. "Do you feel any nausea or discomfort?"

"It's alright, I've just digested what they infiltrated." Yu Mang felt around and even used a special third-person perspective to look at the movements in his stomach, confirming that the turbulent meat was being thoroughly digested by him, which made him feel much more at ease.

All the Yellow Turbans who have survived to this day possess extraordinary digestive and absorptive abilities. Moreover, as their individual strength increases, their digestive and absorptive abilities become even stronger. For outstanding individuals like Yu Mang, their digestive and absorptive abilities are completely superhuman compared to normal people. It is precisely because of this prerequisite that Yu Mang was able to devour the Demon God.

For other people, digesting the demon god requires using their own power, and using power is generally not worthwhile. In other words, eating this thing not only doesn't provide nutrition, but also consumes energy.

"This seems to be a possible solution," Wang Mao said with a touch of emotion.

"How much can be solved by eating?" Guangyuan glanced at it and said, "You saw the scale before, it wasn't a few hundred or a few thousand, it was probably tens of thousands."

“That’s true.” Wang Mao nodded. “Let’s hurry to the nearby villages, wait for Li He and the others to arrive, and then prepare for the fight.”

In Chang'an, Chen Xi was preparing to travel to Ye City by carriage. He had already issued military orders to the north and was preparing to go there. As for Chang'an, Chen Xi had also made arrangements. Based on the principle that speed is of the essence in war, Chen Xi planned to go to Ye City today.

"Lord Chen, Commander Huang has ordered us to stop the carriage." Before they had even left the Vermilion Bird Gate, the guards stopped the carriage and informed Chen Xi. Chen Xi was taken aback upon hearing this, and then suddenly realized what had happened.

"Huang Tao, what's the situation in Yunmeng?" Chen Xi pushed open the door and went straight to the point. If Huang Tao could stop him with an order, something must have happened.
