Chapter 173: Cooking Your People in Front of You
At first, Jiang Tian didn't understand what Zhou Shang meant.
Afterward, Zhou Shang explained his request in detail: "Good disciple, what you have to do is very simple—just study the dishes in front of them."
As he spoke, Zhou Shang waved his hand and took out the corpse of a dead purple-haired giant bear from his space ring.
Seeing the lifeless giant purple bear before him, Jiang Tian immediately understood.
Apparently, his teacher had taken inspiration from the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination's Huotang Small World incident.
Zhou Shang wanted Jiang Tian to cook in front of the captured purple-haired giant bears, instilling fear in them and breaking their psychological defenses.
Once their emotions crumbled and their will collapsed, it would be time for interrogation.
Jiang Tian shook his head slightly, thinking that his teacher had quite the imagination.
But if he thought about it carefully, this might actually work.
"However, if we want to cook this giant bear, we'll have to figure it out first," Jiang Tian said, rubbing his forehead.
In both his previous life and this world, bears were considered protected animals.
There were strict regulations against hunting and consuming bear meat.
Finding actual cooking tutorials was nearly impossible.
Jiang Tian had no choice but to develop a dish based on existing recipes and his own experience.
But before all that, he needed to process the ingredient before him.
Jiang Tian immediately got to work, walking toward the lifeless purple-haired giant bear on the ground.
Inside the cage, the imprisoned purple-haired giant bears all had murderous gleams in their eyes.
They were not ignorant of the human race.
According to their intelligence, humans were a weak but highly spiritual species—a race with great potential.
If they could devour humans, they could enhance their own spirituality and improve their potential.
Humans were excellent rations and top-tier supplements.
But something had gone wrong with their mission.
They had been trapped and captured by these humans.
Even so, they knew the rules of war—as long as they kept their mouths shut, they would survive.
If the enemy wanted information from them, they wouldn't give it up so easily.
After all, intelligence was their lifeline.
And as long as they stayed in the human world long enough, their main world would eventually pinpoint their location.
Their mere presence in this world meant that the coordinates of the human world had already been exposed to their main civilization.
Knowing this, the captured purple-haired giant bears observed quietly, waiting to see what the humans would do.
Especially the strong human leader.
Judging from his aura, he was extraordinary, making them tremble in fear.
But then… why had he called over a young, weak-looking human?
Could it be that this young human possessed some terrifying ability?
As they pondered this, they saw the strong human leader toss the corpse of one of their own to the young human.
And then… the young human began to move.
A brand-new Black Dragon kitchen knife appeared in Jiang Tian's hand.
This custom-made knife, crafted with Zhou Shang's help, was razor-sharp and of extremely high quality.
And Jiang Tian's talent in knife skills made using it effortless.
With a single light sweep, a large section of fur from the purple-haired giant bear fell away.
Jiang Tian's hands moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the entire corpse had been skinned.
The exposed flesh was pink and tender, with patches of short purple fur still attached.
At this moment, Jiang Tian carefully scraped the remaining fur from the skin.
Then, setting the Black Dragon kitchen knife aside, he unleashed his flames.
Boom!
The blood-red flames engulfed the giant bear's body, burning away the remaining fur.
The skin turned a slight shade of golden brown due to the heat.
"Roar!!!"
The purple-haired giant bears inside the cage suddenly stood up one by one, letting out furious roars.
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.
What was this young human doing?
Why was he desecrating the corpse of their kin like this?
What on earth were these humans planning?
Why was he shaving and burning the fur off his own kind so meticulously?
Could it be…?
These humans were not trying to break them with humiliation.
They were preparing their kin for something else.
And then came the horrifying realization.
The young human wasn't disrespecting the corpse—he was preparing it.
Preparing it… as food.
The leader of the purple-haired giant bears clenched its teeth.
Were these humans truly so cruel?
Their own people were about to be eaten before their very eyes?
The thought alone made some of them waver.
While they were still shaken, the strong human leader simply smiled at them.
No threats.
No torture.
No persuasion.
Just a knowing smile.
Then he turned away as if nothing was wrong—his only focus was watching his disciple cook.
"It looks like we're in for a treat," Huang Hui remarked as he arrived.
Xue Xiao stood beside him, silent.
She was about to watch Jiang Tian cook alien food once again, and she was genuinely curious.
However, she glanced at Principal Zhou and couldn't help but think…
This man is terrifyingly ruthless.
He had found the most horrifying interrogation method possible for these alien captives.
And as she thought about it, Jiang Tian began his butchering process.
