"There don't seem to be any ingredients down there. In fact, there's something VERY annoying down there!"

Jiro's gaze fell upon something, and his eyes narrowed.

The others followed his gaze and soon saw some very strange-looking things.

"That's a real problem. It's the Sandoriko Flower. THAT THING IS NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH!"

Setsuno's eyes narrowed as she spotted what lay below. She and Jiro had visited this place many times, and Ichiryu's intelligence was crystal clear—stay away from the Sandoriko Flower. Every creature on the Seventh Continent gave it a wide berth, except for Monkey King Bambina. The thing was simply too lethal.

Once hit by the Sandoriko Flower's pollen, any creature would have all the moisture in its body drained in a matter of seconds.

With all the moisture drained—even the Nitro race could only enter a state of suspended animation. Other creatures would simply die.

And it only took a few seconds. Stronger individuals could hold out a little longer, but they couldn't quickly eliminate the effect. They could only wait for the pollen effect to end.

But the pollen effect lasted for a long time.

In the original story, when Acacia first came to the Seventh Continent—he had also fallen for this trick. If he hadn't run into a seriously injured PAIR at that time, he would have died at the hands of the Sandoriko Flower.

It was because he had run into PAIR at that time that, in order to survive, Acacia had started to eat PAIR.

Similarly, PAIR, to survive, had started to eat Acacia.

It could be said that the Sandoriko Flower was the cause of the entire incident. Without it, at least for a short time, the Blue Nitro wouldn't have discovered NEO in Acacia's body.

The Sandoriko Flower was really powerful. Toriko and the others had been hit by a weakened version of the Sandoriko Flower by Kaka and had almost died.

So, this thing was very dangerous. Jiro and Setsuno had seen other creatures die at the hands of the Sandoriko Flower.

——————

"I've heard of this thing too. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS EVEN IN THE GOURMET WORLD."

As a member of Biotope 0, Chin Chinchin also knew about some of the dangerous things in the Gourmet World. The danger level of the Sandoriko Flower was very high.

Fortunately, It only existed on the Seventh Continent. And as long as you stayed away, you didn't have to worry about being hit.

"Then why did Yuuki's Food Luck guide us to stop?"

Granny Ayame asked with some confusion.

"I don't know. It seems we need to go down and take a good look."

Jiro said.

It wasn't clear what was going on below—but they just had to go down and find out. After all, Yuuki's Food Luck was quite powerful, so there must be something good.

"No need to go down and look. The ingredient my Food Luck is guiding me to find is this thing!"

Yuuki said, pointing at the Sandoriko Flower.

"The Sandoriko Flower?? Wait..."

Setsuno also reacted immediately.

Logically, the Sandoriko Flower couldn't be an ingredient, because no creature had ever eaten it.

Just getting near the thing would trigger its deadly pollen—death in seconds. What kind of creature could possibly consume it? And if the pollen alone was that lethal, how toxic was the actual fruit?

But on second thought, there were similar situations in nature. The pollen might be the Sandoriko Flower's way of protecting itself.

Many ingredients were like this.

"But if you want to eat this thing, you still need to solve the pollen problem, right? We don't have anything like that."

Jiro said.

If you wanted to eat the Sandoriko Flower—you had to solve the pollen problem.

Very few people in the Human World could reach the Seventh Continent, and it was easy to die if you got close to the Sandoriko Flower.

So, no one had the guts to study this thing, and obviously, there was no antidote.

Only the Blue Nitro, who weren't afraid of death—as long as they entered a state of suspended animation, someone could revive them—thus, study and develop an antidote.

"It's not that hard. The antidote is the fruit itself. As long as you eat the fruit of the Sandoriko Flower, you can solve the pollen problem."

Yuuki said.

The Seventh Continent was a relatively barren continent among the many continents. And due to the mismanagement of the monkey tribes—the lower-level creatures on this continent were always in a state of hunger.

This was why Toriko and the others had been attacked when they arrived in the original story. They had been treated as food.

The Seventh Continent—managed by the monkey tribes, had a rule:

—The right to hunt was in the hands of the area managers. Only with their consent could you hunt. Otherwise, hunting was a violation of the area manager's will. Once you violated the order, the only thing left for them was death.

In the original story, after those monkeys violated the order, except for one, all the others chose to commit suicide.

Letting monkeys manage was truly ridiculous.

A perfectly good continent had become like this...

——————

The Sandoriko Flower's existence was, in fact, a balancing act for the continent. The Seventh Continent was relatively scarce in ingredients, so the Earth had given birth to a food source like the Sandoriko Flower, which was incredibly easy to cultivate and had a high survival rate.

Such an ingredient should have been the savior of the Seventh Continent, but because it was a Special Preparation Ingredient, it came with its deadly pollen.

It was, admittedly, a bizarre twist of fate.

"It's that simple?"

Everyone asked, still a bit stunned after hearing Yuuki's explanation.

"Simple? Not at all. That deadly pollen is enough to kill any living creature."

"The creatures of the Seventh Continent have even carved the fear of the Sandoriko Flower directly into their genes."

Yuuki shook his head. It might seem simple, but without hearing the voice of the ingredient, no creature would dare to eat it.

After all, just getting close meant death. Who would think of eating such a thing? This was also why the Sandoriko Flower was called a Special Preparation Ingredient.

While the solution was simple, finding that solution was very difficult.

"That's true."

Everyone nodded.

After that, the group began to taste the Sandoriko Flower. Though they would inevitably be hit by the pollen at first, as long as they were fast enough and ate the flower in an instant, they could cure themselves.

So, while everyone did shed a few tears at first, the effect was instantly neutralized.

"It really is an excellent ingredient. And once you've eaten it, you don't have to worry about the pollen anymore. I can't believe that a creature that has terrified the entire world for so long is actually such a delicacy."

Everyone's view of the Sandoriko Flower had changed. The taste was too good. Just as they were savoring it, the many Sandoriko Flowers suddenly began to glow.

Then, Yuuki clearly sensed the nutrients of the earth converging on a single Sandoriko Flower. Soon, a massive Sandoriko Flower appeared.

Its size was hundreds of times larger than the others.

"What's going on now?"

Everyone was a bit baffled by this scene.

"This is the ingredient's gratitude. I can clearly hear it thanking me."

Yuuki said.

The ingredients of the world of Toriko all longed to be eaten. The Sandoriko Flower was no exception. But because of its pollen, it had never been eaten by any creature.

In this age of gourmet food—where all ingredients longed to be eaten—for one to have never been eaten was a tragedy.

You could say the Sandoriko Flower was even more tragic than the Billion Bird. After all, the Billion Bird had at least been eaten by other creatures, but the Sandoriko Flower had not.

So, Yuuki had now vindicated the Sandoriko Flower. As long as the news spread, other creatures would naturally eat it.

The Sandoriko Flower was now thanking Yuuki, thanking him for being able to hear its voice, thanking him for vindicating it.

——————

At this moment, countless streams of energy converged on one Sandoriko Flower.

Normally, eating a Sandoriko Flower wouldn't boost one's cells, but now it was different. The enhanced Sandoriko Flower was enough to activate Yuuki's Gourmet Cells once again.

And sure enough, after eating the ingredient, Yuuki discovered his Gourmet Cells had activated. Everyone else, except for Jiro, including Setsuno, also had their Gourmet Cells activated.

"This time, it's thanks to Mr. Yuuki that our Gourmet Cells have activated!"

Chin Chinchin said with some gratitude.

At their level, activating Gourmet Cells was not so easy. It wasn't that their Gourmet Cells were that strong, but because the ingredients were very difficult to obtain. Not everyone was one of Acacia's Students. Many people couldn't capture these ingredients—so they couldn't quickly activate their Gourmet Cells.

But now, because of Yuuki, Chin Chinchin and the others' Gourmet Cells had activated twice in a row. Once because of AIR, and once because of the Sandoriko Flower.

As for the Demon Shell Meat, Yuuki hadn't taken it out yet.

Even so, their Gourmet Cells had activated twice, and their strength had greatly improved. In a place like the Gourmet World, an increase in strength was a great benefit, so Chin Chinchin was very grateful to Yuuki.

"Don't mention it,"

Yuuki said with a smile. He didn't care about these things.

The AIR he had given to Chin Chinchin and the others was from Ichiryu. As for the Sandoriko Flower, it was simply a case of everyone getting a share.

The bulk of it was still his. Even if he gave some to others, it would only be a small portion. But doing so was already enough. After all, not everyone was like Ichiryu and Toriko.

Most people thought for themselves first. Yuuki was no exception.
