Early morning.

Martin woke up from his dream.

Now that he was in human form, he could finally take off his black robe and put on a simple linen robe while he slept.

But to be on the safe side, he slept with that gentleman's hat, and woke up with a headache that seemed to be a remnant of the crazy effect of the previous night's card table.

Martin held his forehead, thinking back to what happened last night, and muttered:

"Flesh grass?"

He took out the [Savage Creature Cookbook] from the bottom of the single bed, flipped through the big book and began to look for it.

This thick cookbook records hundreds of creatures, each occupying a separate page, with a table of contents at the very beginning of the book.

To Martin's baffle, the layout of the table of contents seemed to be completely irregular, as if it were randomly arranged.

This is neither Chinese nor English, and Martin has no way to find the pattern at all, so he can only find them one by one.

His eyes swept over the many strange names of animals and plants, and finally found them in the corner of the second page of the catalog.

"Page 179..."

Martin followed the instructions of the catalogue and flipped through the large book, and in the process, he saw many strange-looking portraits of creatures, giant snails covered in scales, rabbits standing upright and slicing the throat of a human with a long knife, butterflies with magnificent patterns like mazes...

He didn't think much of it, and after taking a closer look at the pictures, he continued to scroll back, and finally came to page 179, where he saw the appearance of the so-called "flesh and blood grass".

It was a turnip-like plant, with two immature buds and three huge leaves on top, and a crumpled baby head underneath, with its mouth wide open as if it were crying.

And next to the picture, an explanation of this plant is written:

"Flesh Grass, also known as Prisoner's Blood, has the form of a deformed villain, and when calcined with the Salt of Life, it will take on a strange fragrance."

"Eating can suppress the vigorous appetite, so the effect is loved by female creatures of all races, and it was once popular in the Mir continent. However, eating too much will lead to addiction, and the desire for raw meat will continue to increase, resulting in the famous "Crazy Kiss Disaster" in history. ”

...

"Suppress your appetite... Is it any wonder that women like it and use it as a diet pill? ”

Martin couldn't help but laugh, it seems that no matter what era it is, no matter what race it is, losing weight is just needed...

"I just don't know where to find it, I'll ask Belisarius later, after all, this is a medicine shop, and there is still a relatively high possibility that this plant exists."

Martin thought as he became familiar with the appearance of the flesh grass.

After finding the flesh grass, he didn't put down the cookbook, but continued to flip back, page by page.

He noticed something strange.

The title of this book is "Wild Creature Cookbook", and it does record the names and characteristics of many creatures, but there are no recipes in the whole book.

The list of magical creatures occupies only about two-thirds of the book, and the remaining third, almost blank.

It is almost blank because at the very front of the blank part, there are three special pages, and the material of these pages is different from that of other pages, which is darker and more yellow and much thicker than other pages, as if they have been baptized for a long time.

In the middle of the three pages is a symbol with a triangle with a mouth, a circle made of Ouroboros, and a stone of various colors and irregular shapes.

There is nothing else on the page other than these three symbols.

"What are these three signs..."

Martin looked at the strange symbol in the center of the pages and felt a little strange.

He flipped back to the table of contents by page number and found that the names of the three pages were:

【Atlas: Salt of Life】

【Atlas: Oil of Nothingness】

【Atlas: Peacock's Tail】

And after these three names, the directory list has nothing else and is also blank.

"Do these names refer to these three signs in the center of the page..."

Martin looked at the three signs and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

"Atlas...... Could it be a recipe? ”

He was a little confused, the old-fashioned man at the card table last night had mentioned that there was a "potion in the cookbook", and he was very confident in the potion in his conversation.

So Martin took out the recipe not only to find the flesh grass, but more importantly, to find the traces of the potion in it.

But he looked at the contents, which was full of words, and found that he seemed to have encountered difficulties in the first step.

"Is it recorded in the introduction of the various savage creatures?"

He opened the first half of the book and found that the descriptions mainly contained the characteristics, effects, and appearances of various creatures, and did not mention any "recipes".

"This..."

Martin took a breath, he wanted to go back to sleep now and ask the old-fashioned man how he could find what he called a "magic potion".

But neither of these meetings was of his own volition, and even if he slept again, he probably wouldn't be able to get to that table.

"I can't ask Mr. Hines either... It's a bit of a hassle..."

Martin habitually began to knock on his collarbone again.

A bold idea flashed through his mind.

He shook his head and muttered:

"No, Pleis said to be wary of 'activation' and beware of the betrayal that comes with splitting..."

But then his eyes flickered again, and he put his hands around his chest, and said as if asking himself:

"But what if I destroy the Split before it goes wrong..."

He looked down at the large book on the table.

"Just try the effect of the twin flames fusing with that skull into a magical item..."

"It's just a book..."

In the absence of help from the tables and Hines, Martin's first thought was to see if the items on his body could help.

And he now only has three things on his body that can be called magical items - the gentleman's hat on his head, the [actor's face] on his face, and the black robe on his body.

Judging from the original use of the female assassin, the effect of [Actor's Face] should be to make people believe their lies, which was confirmed after he lied several times.

And the black robe on his body seems to be similar to the effect of the "iron cloth shirt" in his previous life, which can improve his defense ability.

Neither of these items can help him in his current predicament, and the remaining gentleman's hat, which fuses the [Dark Side of the Moon] Anupis skull and the Twin Flames, in addition to being able to transform him into a human form, the ability of the Twin Flames should also be retained.

The previous things were one after another, and Martin was tired of coping with it, and he didn't think about it at all, and he didn't have time to verify it, and now it's just the right time to try it.

Martin made up his mind, stretched out his left hand, snapped his fingers as he thought of the huge cookbook.

"Poof-"

With a soft thud, a bright red flame floated silently above his fingers.

The flames leaped upwards and disappeared as they expanded, and in the firelight, Martin's left hand sank, and a large book appeared in the palm of his hand.

This is also a large black book, and the dark red lines on the cover and the six crooked white characters indicate the perfect realization of the copying effect.

Martin looked at the recipe in his hand, and as soon as a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he saw that the six crooked white words of "Savage Creature Recipe" began to twist like worms, and finally formed a human face.

Then the lines that made up the eyes on the cover spread out, as if the eyes were opened, and the lines that made up the lips opened slightly, and its expression became vivid, like a servant with a flattering smile.

Martin heard a phrase come out of its mouth:

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."

Martin's back muscles tensed instantly, and he picked up the big book and was about to throw it into the fireplace next to him.

He had already expected this situation, but he didn't expect this "replica" to be [activated] so quickly and be able to communicate directly with people.

But he had already anticipated a response, and whatever the big book said, he would throw it into the fire.

The book was coming alive so quickly that it was already in danger for him, and he had to do it just to be on the safe side.

He decided to consult with Hines or Plesis afterwards about the cause of the situation.

The thoughts in his head flowed, but the movements of his hands did not slow down in the slightest.

Just as the large book was about to be thrown into the fire, Martin heard another voice sound.

It wasn't from the cookbook he had in his hand, it was from the original one on the table.

The voice said:

"Burn it, burn it, I'll be the body."
