Zongman: Shang Erina, the opening method of swallowing the starry sky - Chapter 105
The next day,
Hong Yi and Erina Nakiri rode the golden-horned beast to the Melk Mountains.
“Melk is the best knife grinder in the world. Even the top 100 chefs in the world are proud to own a knife sharpened by Melk.”
“”Hong Yi, I heard that the order to grind kitchen knives from Melk is even scheduled for three years later. Can we go directly there?”
Erina Nakiri asked worriedly, standing beside Hong Yi.
She, the proud”Queen of Food”, was about to meet the world’s top grinder and became a little nervous.
Hong Yi folded his arms, overlooking the mountains below, his tone calm and firm:”I have a letter of introduction from President Yilong, so it’s no problem for me to cut in line a little bit”
“President Yilong……”
Nakiri Erina looked at Hong Yi with a complicated look.
The boy in front of her was once a freshman at Totsuki Academy, and then he became one of the Ten Greatest Students of Totsuki at the fastest speed.
Now, he is not only the first of the Ten Greatest Students of Totsuki, but also a very important figure in the world of gourmet hunters. He is valued by the world’s strongest man, the president of IGO, and has authority and status comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings of Gourmet. He is growing too fast.
It seems that she can’t keep up with his pace and will be left far behind.
“No… don’t leave me……”
In a trance, Erina Nakiri felt that Hong Yi’s back was getting farther and farther away, and she couldn’t help but reach out her hand, wanting to hold Hong Yi’s hand.
“Um?”
“What’s wrong?”
Hong Yi turned around as if he noticed something.
“”No… it’s nothing!”
Erina Nakiri’s cheeks flushed slightly. She immediately withdrew her hand, crossed her arms, turned her head and snorted.
Seeing this, Hong Yi’s cold and handsome face showed a rare trace of tenderness. He took the initiative to hold Erina Nakiri’s slightly cold hand and replied:”I am your partner.”
“No matter how fast I grow or how strong I become, I will always come back to you and eat the food you cook.”
“Tsk, you philandering man, I’m not the only chef who cooks for you.”
Erina Nakiri felt sweet in her heart, but she still looked arrogant on the surface, and even a little jealous.
Hong Yi easily hugged Erina Nakiri into his arms with his strong arms, and asked with a smile:”Can you feed me enough by yourself?” Erina Nakiri’s pretty face flushed, and she thought something was wrong. She hummed softly and didn’t say anything.
After a while, the golden-horned beast carried Hong Yi and Erina Nakiri to the main peak of the Melk Mountains.
The magnificent mountain of 4,000 meters is like a giant sword, inserted upside down between the mountains and ridges, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding long mountains.
On top of this main peak, there are tall stone steps, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, with more than 20,000 steps.
A short man like Komatsu, who is only 1.5 meters tall, is not even as tall as the stone steps when standing in front of them.
“What high stone steps!”
“How tall and majestic must the creature that carved out such a giant stone staircase be?”
Erina Nakiri snuggled in Hong Yi’s arms and exclaimed when she saw the stone staircase winding all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top, with almost no end in sight.
Hong Yi’s mind emerged with the majestic and sturdy appearance of the first generation Melk, a giant with scars all over his body, like a body of steel, and he replied:”The height of the first generation Melk is estimated to be close to three meters.”
“The stone steps he built for himself were naturally much higher than normal stone steps.”
“Three meters high……”
Nakiri Erina’s purple eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn’t help but stick out her tongue.
With a body three meters tall, he is truly worthy of being called a giant.
“Should we climb up?” asked Erina Nakiri.
“How is that possible?”
Hong Yi flicked Erina Nakiri’s smooth and fair forehead and pointed at the golden-horned beast.
“We came here on the golden-horned beast, why do we have to climb the mountain?”
“Even though 20,000 stone steps are nothing to us, we should save the trouble if we can.”
Erina Nakiri snorted,”I thought we had to climb the mountain to show respect.”
“After all… the other party is the world’s top grinder!”
“Don’t worry, the other party doesn’t have so many red tape.”
Under Hong Yi’s telepathic induction, the golden-horned beast flapped its wings again and took off into the sky.
A strange bird with pterosaur wings spread out, and its mouth and tail shaped like squid tentacles, circled around the mountains and danced.
【Squid Pterosaur】
【Capture Level 17】
The moment the golden-horned beast flew up, a terrifying aura spread out, scaring the squid pterosaur away in a hurry.
Just like that.
We arrived at the top of the mountain without any obstacles.
Like the entire Melk Mountains, the top of the mountain is still bare, without any vegetation. There is only a spherical stone house similar to an igloo, a hot spring wooden house, a giant lollipop-like nest, a mining crane, and a material warehouse.
“We’re here.”
Hong Yi hugged Erina Nakiri’s soft waist and jumped down from the dragon horns of the golden-horned beast.
The golden-horned beast sensed in his mind:”Master, I found that there are many veins of high-grade metals in this mountain range. Can I go and eat?”
“Well, go ahead.”
Hong Yi agreed directly.
In fact, he had expected that the vast mountain range chosen by Melk contained a large number of metal veins.
In addition to the fact that there was no grass here, there must be many high-grade metals, otherwise the world’s top grinders would not live here.
After getting Hong Yi’s permission, the golden-horned beast turned around and flew away, looking for metal veins and eating.
“Is this where Melk lives?”
“It looks really plain and simple.”
Erina Nakiri said in a low voice while looking at the top of the mountain curiously.
“I followed the navigation of the gourmet satellite, so I won’t go wrong.”
Hong Yi held Erina Nakiri’s soft jade hand and walked towards the stone house.
Suddenly,
Hong Yi stopped.
In a trance, it seemed that there were sharp blades flying out from the stone house, crisscrossing and slashing at his body.
However, these sharp blades that were enough to split gold and iron could not cause any damage to Hong Yi’s steel body.
“Sword energy… no, sword intent?”
“Speaking of which, the entire space on the top of the mountain has been soaked in this sharp knife intent because of the years of forging extremely sharp kitchen knives.”
Hong Yi’s mind moved, and he turned his head to look at Erina Nakiri.
He found that she was also affected by the knife intent, her pretty face turned pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
“It’s okay, I’m here.”
Hong Yi slightly tightened his grip on Erina Nakiri’s hand, and with a few words, he dispelled the sharp sword intent in the entire space.
“Awww——！！”
A ferocious roar came from the stone steps behind the two of them.
A three-meter-tall, strong and sturdy humanoid monster with scales and armor all over its body and a single eye climbed up to the end of the stone steps.
【Thick-scaled diamond】
【Capture Level: 22]
The Thick-Scaled King Kong opened its jagged mouth, roared, and pounced on Hong Yi and Nakiri Erina.
At this moment, a sense of oppression from the tentacles of the black mist came from the stone house.
“”Swish!”
The sharp sword energy instantly passed by Hong Yi and Nakiri Erina, and slashed on the body of the thick-scaled King Kong.
“Cut the scales.”
A calm voice came from behind Hong Yi.
“With a”swish”, the scales covering the body of the thick-scaled golden eagle, which were originally arranged neatly and tightly, suddenly loosened, like withered petals, and fell off all at once, piling up at the feet, like fish scales being removed. The thick-scaled golden eagle was like a strong woman who had been stripped of her clothes, naked all over.
“”Roar!?”
Thick-scaled King Kong was startled, turned his head quickly, and fled in panic.
“Hey, there are still some scales left on the body.”
“It seems that the completion degree of this kitchen knife is only 30%?”
The other party’s voice sounded a little disappointed and dissatisfied.
Nakiri Erina turned her head and saw a tall young woman with a headscarf on her forehead, long black hair tied up, and two strands of black bangs hanging down, standing behind her.
The second generation Melk!
“I am Melk.”
The young woman introduced herself
“What?”
“You… you are Melk!”
A trace of shock flashed in Erina Nakiri’s eyes.
She originally thought that this young man would be Melk’s apprentice or child, but he said that he was Melk!?
“What, are you surprised?”
Melk raised a smile.
Erina Nakiri murmured in shock:”I thought Melk would be a tall and strong man with scars all over his body.”
She glanced at Hong Yi and pouted her rosy lips.
Because this image was inferred by Hong Yi.
As a result… the two of them are too different for the first time, right?
The other party is clearly a beautiful woman dressed as a man.
As for Melk’s disguise as a man.
Erina Nakiri saw through it at a glance.
Melk replied:”Really?”
“I haven’t been in public for a long time.���It’s out of sight, so the rumors in the world are not exaggerated.”
“Are you really Melk?”
Erina Nakiri still couldn’t believe it.
The person who sharpened the best kitchen knife in the culinary world turned out to be an extremely young beauty disguised as a man?

“What, you don’t believe it?”
Melk raised the kitchen knife in his hand, turned around and prepared to walk into the stone house, saying:”Come in and take a look at my studio for sharpening kitchen knives.”
Nakiri Erina followed suit, but Hong Yi beside her suddenly spoke:
“Wait a moment”
“You’re not the real Melk.”
“！？”
Melk was startled, stopped walking, and replied with his head tilted:”Why do you say I am not Melk?”
“If it wasn’t Melk, why am I here?”
“Oh, really?”
Hong Yi raised a faint smile, pointed to the huge stone steps behind him and the giant arch of the stone house, and explained:”With your body shape, it shouldn’t be necessary to build such a large stone step and stone door, right?”
“In addition, I heard from President Yilong that Melk is his old friend.”
“You know, President Yilong has lived for hundreds of years. His good friend probably wouldn’t be a woman who looks only twenty years old, right?”
“！！”
Melk’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was in turmoil.
The other party not only saw through his identity, but also saw through her disguise as a man.[]
“Eh?”
Nakiri Erina asked in a surprised voice:”Hong Yi, you also figured out that she was a woman dressed as a man?”
Hong Yi replied calmly:”What’s the big deal? Anyone with eyes can figure out that she was a woman dressed as a man, right?”
“……”.0…
Melk’s eyes became sharp, he raised the kitchen knife in his hand, and said angrily and unwillingly:”Am I the authentic Melk? Why don’t you feel the vegetables I grind?”
“Do you want to take action?……”
Hong Yi sneered and suddenly took a half step forward
“”Disappeared!?”
When Melke was shocked, a hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder.
Hong Yi, who had disappeared out of thin air, unexpectedly appeared beside her at some point, and touched the blade that looked extremely sharp with one finger.
“Ding! The next moment, the kitchen knife that could easily scale a level 22 thick-scaled diamond was actually…broken, just because of a light tap of Hong Yi’s finger.
“My kitchen knife……”
“How…how could this happen?……”
Melk, who was hit hard, fell to the ground, his handsome face showing disbelief and loss of soul.
Hong Yi glanced at Melk sitting on the ground and said indifferently:”If you don’t even recognize your true self, let alone swinging a knife at me, I’m afraid you are not qualified to grind the Dragon King’s fangs.”
“What?”
“Fang of the Dragon King!”
Melk, who was still in a state of dismay a second ago, suddenly looked up the next moment, his black and white eyes flashing with surprise and confusion, staring at Hong Yi closely.
“You…how did you get the Dragon King’s Tooth?”
Hong Yi stretched out a hand, lifted Melk up, and replied:”It’s just a fossil of the Dragon King’s Tooth collected by the Nakiri family.”
Of course.
Hong Yi knew that the first generation of Melk also collected a smaller fossil of the Dragon King’s Tooth.
It is estimated that the second generation of Melk thought that the Dragon King’s Tooth fossil of his family was stolen.
“The Nakiri family?……”
“I heard that the Nakiri family is quite old, having lasted for hundreds of years, and their ancestors had legendary gourmet hunters. If it is them, they may indeed have the Dragon King’s Fang.”
Melke nodded to himself, then sighed softly, walked in front and led the way, saying,”Please come in.”
Hong Yi followed him into the stone house.
Nakiri Erina hurriedly caught up, and when she passed by the place where Hong Yi broke the kitchen knife, her pupils suddenly contracted.
She saw that the broken blade was gone, and there was a deep cut where it fell.
“This… Such a hard rock was actually cut by the blade of a naturally falling object?”
“What a sharp kitchen knife!”
“In this case, isn’t Hong Yi, who broke the kitchen knife with one finger,……”
Nakiri Erina caught up with Hong Yi, grabbed his palm worriedly, and lifted it up to look carefully.
On that finger, let alone a knife wound, there was not even a trace of white mark!
“What’s wrong? Do you care about me?”
Hong Yi asked with a smile on his face.
“No, I’m just curious if your finger is injured.” Erina Nakiri’s cheeks flushed slightly and she snorted.
Melk picked up the kettle soaked with mineral sour plums, poured a glass of water for Hong Yi and Erina Nakiri, and replied faintly:”I… am indeed not the real Melk.”
“The real Melk, he is my master, he has disappeared for six years!”.
