Almighty Summoner System

Chapter 212 - Three Areas Of Death Swamp

After a while, Ban finally decided to cook their dinner. He was actually planning to cook that Mild Tempered Crocodile's thigh and sell the rest of its parts to Joana later, but unfortunately, things really didn't go as planned. 

For now, he could only cook dinner with the ingredients prepared by grandpa Kuys that was stored inside the Dimensional Storage Ring. 

There was not a lot of food supplies there but from his rough estimation, it should still probably last him more than a week even if he did not hunt for food. Of course, Eva was also accounted for in this estimation. 

Of course, Ban was not planning on doing that. Aside from the fact that he might grow tired of the same kind of food every week, he also felt that it might become tasteless later on. 

He has the capability to hunt and search for a variety of foods so why not do it? The one week food supply provided by grandpa Kuys, although enough to last for a week, should only be consumed in moderation or when there was some kind of emergency situation, for example, the current situation he was in right now. 

Anyways, as there was now a new member on their 'family' Ban cooked a lot, as he knew that Eva ate a lot contrary to her small body. He didn't know if it would still be the same case for Tria, but he made a lot of servings, just in case. 

After an hour of cooking, the food was finally cooked. 

Although it might sound spooky, but according to the System, Tria, the Giant Red Dragonfly was actually a carnivore type Beast. The dragonflies usually ate other insects but in the case of the Giant Dragonflies, eating insects could no longer satisfy them. Hence, they usually hunt for bigger prey.

Eva on the other hand was an omnivore, so she was fine eating anything that Kuys served to them so far. 

As for Tria, he doesn't know if her preferences will change, but for now, feeding her meat was the only option. 

And so, what Ban cooked was a pork meat dish with soup. He learned this recipe from Kuys himself and it was also served in the Kuys Bar, usually during morning. 

This time, Ban used half almost 10 kilograms of normal pork meat. There were a lot of them provided by Kuys inside the Dimensional Storage, even to the point that if Ban did not know grandpa Kuys, he might think that the fellow was actually trying to chase him away. 

Just like on his Dimensional Storage Earring, the time inside the ring was also on halt. Meaning, no matter how many years the meat stayed there, it would not rot and would always stay fresh, just like the same freshness when it was previously stored. 

Hence the reason why grandpa Kuys dared to store a lot of meat and other ingredients there that would easily go bad if not stored properly.

However after thinking about it, with the addition of, perhaps this amount of food might actually not last them for a week. 

Anyways, he served them soup and pork meat at the same time. He also served them some rice but Tria did not seem to be attracted to it, compared to Eva who was equally eyeing the rice and the pork meat. 

Ban laughed lightly seeing their reaction to the food, and so,they ate a sumptuous meal for their first day in the Death Swamp. 

After they ate, Ban washed the plates and the cooking cauldron he used earlier before storing them inside the Dimensional Storage Ring. 

Now that they already have their fill, it was not time for them to cultivate. 

For his adventure this time, Ban planned to hunt during the day, and cultivate during night whilst moving closer towards his target location, the inner area of the Death Swamp where that river was located, and where the suspected Pure River Water might appear. 

The Death Swamp was a big place. It consists of three areas which are the Outer Area, the Inner Area and the Core Area. 

Based on the map, currently, Ban was still at the periphery of the Outer Area. The level or Rank of Beasts that resided here ranged from X-Mortal to E-Elite Rank. Here, the E-Elite Ranks were mostly Beast of the Lord Grade level, while those of the X-Mortal and F-Apprentice mostly consisted of Normal and Elite Grade Beasts. 

The Inner Area was more dangerous than the Outer Area as there, E-Elite Rank was quite common. One might even see Normal Grade Beasts that were already at the E-Elite Rank there, while one might only encounter Lord Grade Beast if the Beast was already at Quasi D-Master Rank or even genuine D-Master Rank. 

As for the Core Area, Ban thought that it was for the better if he did not try something funny. According to what he heard, that place was restricted to the highest level. D-Master Rank Summoners that wanted to try their luck were rumored to have not returned after they entered that area. 

Ban's target this time was only in the Inner Area. If he walked and ran normally like normal people, he might even only reach the periphery of the Inner Area after a couple of days. 

And since he will try to hunt and become stronger whilst moving towards there, coupled with many stops here and there, the journey might even last for more than a week. 

Fortunately, he was no longer one of those normal people. 

He was already an E-Elite Rank person. And with the addition of Tria this time, reaching the Inner Area might not take that long even if they hunt and cultivate along the way. 

Ban took out a mat from the Dimensional Storage Ring and placed it on the ground for their comfort while cultivating. He then took a look at his Dimensional Storage Earring and took three Beast Cores in total, one for Eva, one for Tria and one for him.
