Then, the group increased their flight speed.
They continued forward to the foot of the mountain and found a cave entrance.
They entered the cave directly and flew straight down.
After about three minutes, they finally reached the bottom.
The bottom was flat, similar to the ground above.
It wasn't very dark either.
The light filtering in from the ice pillars allowed them to see.
But none of that mattered.
Once they arrived, their first priority was to find the Century Soup.
Their eyes were drawn to the ice pillars extending down from above, but to their surprise, they saw several figures beside them.
Or rather, GT Robots.
Aru and his group quickly spotted them.
“Look, there are people there!”
“It's the Gourmet Corp GT Robots!”
The Gourmet Corp GT Robots also discovered Aru and his group.
But after taking a few glances, they immediately turned and tried to escape.
The operators of these GT Robots recognized Bills and the others.
They were the terrifying figures who had killed the head chefs, Bern Reis, Gulin Bach, Domirot, and many other Gourmet Corp members.
Nearly every Gourmet Corp member had seen photos of Bills and his group.
They knew very well that Bills and his group were not to be messed with.
They abandoned the Century Soup and fled for their lives.
The level of these GT Robots was only in the sixties or seventies.
Previously, the head chef Bern Reis, with a capture level in the eight or nine hundreds, was killed.
If these low-level robots didn't escape, they would be sent to their deaths.
Moreover, even if they ran, they might not be able to escape.
As they were about ten meters away from their escape path,
Su Ming directly stretched out his palm and fired several Ki Blasts.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!”
In the next instant, the blasts hit each of the escaping GT Robots, then exploded, turning them into dust.
This once again stunned Komatsu and the others.
Although they had some understanding of Su Ming and his group's strength,
every time Su Ming and his group killed an enemy, they were so ruthless and terrifying, it made them apprehensive.
They were only stunned for a moment before recovering.
Compared to the energy ball that could destroy a planet that Yilong had released yesterday,
this was a minor matter.
They had seen a lot in their lives and were somewhat immune to such things.
After clearing out the GT Robots, Su Ming said,
“Alright, we’ll wait there.”
“The Century Soup should be born soon.”
Everyone nodded slightly and went to wait under the ice pillars.
They arrived early, so the soup hadn't formed yet.
But it was good that they arrived early.
If they arrived late,
the soup might have been taken by the Gourmet Corp GT Robots.
These GT Robots had obviously been here for a long time.
They might have even come last night.
They were robots and could ignore the harsh environment here.
As long as they weren't out of energy, they would be fine.
This was the advantage of the Gourmet Corp creating GT Robots.
They could help the Gourmet Corp to capture ingredients in harsh environments.
Compared to humans, they had a significant advantage.
It's just that they unfortunately encountered Su Ming and his group today.
This Century Soup capture mission was a complete failure.
After waiting for about half an hour,
they finally saw liquid slowly flowing down from the ice pillar.
They could also smell a rich and intoxicating aroma.
They didn't need to guess; they all knew what it was.
“That’s it, the Century Soup!!”
Everyone stared intently at the liquid slowly flowing down the ice pillar.
Su Ming quickly reminded them,
“Quick, get your containers ready. The soup is about to drip!”
Komatsu quickly took out a container and placed it under the ice pillar.
As soon as he set it down, a drop of Century Soup dripped down and landed in the container.
As it landed, colorful visible gas appeared.
An even richer, indescribable aroma erupted.
At this moment, several people couldn't help but drool.
Bills and Son Goku even felt an urge to grab the container and drink the Century Soup inside.
Su Ming seemed to notice their urge and quickly said,
“None of you drink it yet! Wait until we collect it all, then we’ll drink it back at the base!”
“If you don’t listen, I can send you away right now!”
Su Ming’s tone was serious and unquestionable.
There wouldn't be much soup.
If he allowed these guys to drink it now, things would get chaotic later.
His tone directly sobered Bills and Son Goku, making them abandon their thoughts of drinking the Century Soup.
They couldn't lose more delicious things just for this little bit of soup.
So, they forcibly restrained themselves.
Bills crossed his arms and turned away.
As long as he didn't look at the soup, he wouldn't be so impulsive.
Son Goku did the same, going to the side to do push-ups.
This diverted his attention and made him less tortured.
In the time that followed,
everyone dared not get too close to the container collecting the soup.
They either kept their distance or didn't look.
Because once they looked, it was easy to get impulsive.
Wiss even temporarily blocked his sense of smell to resist the temptation.
After twenty minutes,
the last drop of soup dripped from the ice pillar, and there was no more.
Seeing this, Su Ming collected the container and took personal custody of it.
“The soup should be gone. Let's go.”
“Okay.”
Everyone levitated up and flew out of the cave.
Back on the ground, Komatsu asked,
“Are we going back directly now?”
Su Ming shook his head slightly, “Not yet.”
“We still need to find a creature to bring back.”
Su Ming remembered that the most important thing for Komatsu to make Century Soup.
It was the saliva of a Cliff Penguin.
To help Komatsu make Century Soup, he had to find a Cliff Penguin.
“Creature, what creature?” Komatsu was puzzled,
“Also, why do we need to bring it back?”
Su Ming didn't beat around the bush and directly said,
“There's a beast here called a Cliff Penguin.”
“Its saliva might help you make Century Soup.”
“Cliff Penguin?” Komatsu, Bills, and the others were dumbfounded.
Komatsu even asked the question that everyone wanted to ask,
“How did you know, Mr. Su Ming, that you need Cliff Penguin saliva to make Century Soup?”
Honestly, this stumped Su Ming.
He couldn't say, “I've read the original novel.”
“You make Century Soup using Cliff Penguin saliva, right?”
After thinking for a moment, Su Ming directly said,
“Don't ask too much. Just trust me.”
“There are some things I can't explain to you.”
This was the best explanation Su Ming could come up with.
Although this explanation didn't eliminate their curiosity,
it stopped them from asking further questions.
