Chapter 380: 398 Gourmet Lover_1
Seeing that Otto didn’t look like he was joking, Fire Knife’s expression immediately collapsed.
Then, he looked at Claire with a bitter face, hoping that she could give Otto a satisfactory answer.
The latter also noticed Fire Knife’s expression and frowned, “It seems like you guys are talking about me…”
After that, Claire sized up the surrounding big shots who didn’t seem easy to mess with, her expression unchanged, looking very calm.
Then, she seemingly casually stepped back two steps and said indifferently, “It seems that you guys think you’ve got me figured out. Although I, Claire, am used to being alone, it doesn’t mean I can be easily bullied.”
Although she said this, none of the people present took her words to heart.
However, Claire didn’t get angry, and with a bland smile on her face, she snapped her fingers, and a complex magic array appeared on the ground in front of her.
This was Claire’s territory, her home ground, where many things had been prepared in advance.
Within a short time, a gigantic octopus about 30 meters tall was summoned by Claire through this magic array.
Judging from the shape and color of the octopus’s tentacles, it should be the same kind of creature that had previously bound Red Lotus Fire’s neck.
Although this thing was massive and looked intimidating, that was all it had going for it.
Compared to the huge dragons, this gigantic octopus was completely hollow, and perhaps a casual breath from Red Lotus Fire would easily defeat it.
In fact, that’s exactly what Red Lotus Fire did.
With a single breath of flame, the giant octopus was almost cooked, its entire body charred and glowing red.
Meanwhile, Otto looked at the creature and nodded slightly. He had to admit, it seemed like a long time since he’d eaten seafood.
At this moment, Fire Knife suddenly said, “I heard the Demon Flame Emperor enjoys using this Abyssal Horror Beast for barbecues…”
Oh, he didn’t expect the Demon Flame Emperor and himself to have something in common!
Thinking about this, Otto laughed, and then realized he seemed to have forgotten something.
Where had Abyss Summoner Claire gone all of a sudden?
In the end, it was thanks to Fire Knife’s reminder that Otto discovered Claire, who had already run far away.
Previously, this guy had seemed so calm that Otto thought he was a rare tough character, but it turned out he was just putting up a front.
It’s estimated that the Abyssal Horror Beast Fire Knife mentioned was just a pawn she used to attract attention, and she was already prepared to escape.
Konoheim, who had been watching from the sidelines, also shook his head slightly at this spectacle, speechless.
Then he threw a pale yellow light ball towards the fleeing Claire. As the light ball exploded above her head, her movement slowed down under the influence of the light.
Although she was still in a running state, the overall look resembled slow motion from a movie.
Soon, Claire herself realized the anomaly, but she was powerless to do anything about it. Even turning her head to check the situation behind her was impossible without ten minutes or so.
“Tsk tsk…this is really torture!”
Otto casually spat out a piece of octopus tentacle from his mouth. To be honest, it tasted not bad, but it would have been better with some chili salt and cumin.
Then he gestured to Red Lotus Fire.
Although the latter was extremely reluctant, it eventually went over with a grim face and brought Claire back.
Red Lotus Fire unceremoniously tossed Claire to the ground, and muttered in a low voice, “Working for other dragons these days is really annoying. No pay, and I’m asked to do everything…”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing, you must have heard wrong!”
Seeing Otto questioning him, Red Lotus Fire immediately shook her head like a rattle drum.
Even if Red Lotus Fire spoke in a very low voice, how could Otto not hear her clearly with his incredible physical abilities?
But Otto didn’t continue to pursue this matter, as he had more important things to deal with now.
Otto nodded to Konoheim, who then threw another small light ball at Claire.
As the light ball exploded, the flow of time around Claire finally returned to normal speed.
Looking at the giant dragons surrounding her, Claire glared at a certain guide, and finally sighed heavily, as if resigning to her fate.
Otto wouldn’t consider Claire’s feelings at this time, and he poked her with his front claw, then asked directly, “Do you know where the Demon Flame Emperor is?”
Changing places over and over again for just one Demon Flame Emperor, Otto felt somewhat annoyed.
His face held a cold smile, making him seem terrifying.
Then, he grinned at Claire and said, “You’d better not try any more tricks; let’s keep things simple.
I heard that the Demon Flame Emperor paid you a visit recently. Now you only have two choices.
Either lead us to the Demon Flame Emperor, or move into my belly!”
Claire’s face turned pale with fright from Otto’s words. Although she was facing a Silver Dragon, it looked more terrifying than the Red Dragon next to her.
After swallowing hard, Claire hesitated for a moment before finally making up her mind.
She stared at Otto, her heart firm, “The Demon Flame Emperor is a demon who loves gourmet food. He was indeed a guest in my place not long ago, and even ate several of my Abyssal Horror Beasts.
Although I don’t know where he is right now, he has booked his next meal from me.
The Demon Flame Emperor wants to eat a monster called Dark Erosion Crab, which can only be found in the Land of Red Flames, and only I can provide.”
Hearing this, Otto’s interest was piqued, which meant the Demon Flame Emperor would eventually return here.
Although it sounded nice, there was still one problem to consider.
Who knows when this guy will come back!
Upon learning of Otto’s concern, Claire quickly said, “This time, it’s actually up to me.
Before he left last time, the Demon Flame Emperor told me that as long as I successfully captured the Dark Erosion Crab, I could contact him at any time.”
At the same time, Claire took out a crimson scale from her storage and handed it to Otto.
“This is the scale the Demon Flame Emperor gave me. He said that when I’m ready, all I have to do is crush the scale, and he’ll come right away.”
It seemed that the Demon Flame Emperor was indeed a food enthusiast.
