Chapter 573: Underground Cache.

Upon waking up, Cain sat down in silence for a good minute before his stomach woke up as well.

The embarrassing, thunder-like rumble of his stomach was only his to hear as there were no other people within the room. With a sigh, Cain pulled a slab of dried out, roasted meat out of his inventory.

Munching down on it, his thoughts swam,

'Although mutant creature meat is of good quality, it's quite flavorless without any seasonings. It has a smoky taste thanks to the roasting, but aside from that, there's really nothing to it.'

Swallowing down a mouthful of cold meat, Cain pulled a canteen of water out. Taking it to his lips, he let the cold nectar flow down his throat.

'Although nature is cruel, it is also beautiful. Mankind's advancement has been one fraught with difficulties, and chief amongst those difficulties, is providing flavor to food.'

Thinking about it, Cain was even more certain,

'That forest... Contains what I need.'
