Monster Paradise Chapter 24: The Boy who wants to be a Gourmet Hunter

Sand Ogre were born and raised in the desert.
Their survivability in the desert was even stronger than a camel’s.

When they had an excess of food, they would overeat and store the extra nutrients as fat.
This helped to sustain during a period of drought or famine.

An ogre with sufficient fat stored up could survive for half a year without water and 3 years without food.

Their tough hide was resistant to the battering of the desert’s frequent dust storm.
Even their eyes had a protective mechanism.
Their eyelids had 3 layers which served to protect their eyes from the dust.

The feet of a Sand Ogre were much larger than a humans and allowed them to maintain their speed easily without sinking into the sand.

These traits allowed Sand Ogres to stand atop the desert’s food chain.

Tyrant’s body was five times the size of an average person while his speed was at least twenty times the speed of a human.
A Three-Star BlackIron Human had a top speed of 20km per hour while Tyrant had a normal speed of 80 km per hour.
If he sprinted, it easily crossed the hundred mark.

Lin Huang didn’t want a bumpy ride so he had Tyrant limit his speed at 80 km/h.
Even so, at their current speed, two hours of travelling was equivalent to nearly an entire day’s worth of travelling on foot.

With Tyrant’s strength, Fatty’s weight had no effect on Tyrant’s overall speed.
Fatty Yin who had no experience with the Tyrant Express desperately tried not to puke up the contents of his meal.
On the other side, Lin Huang was secretly laughing at Fatty Yin even though he didn’t fare much better during his maiden voyage either.
He had however grown accustomed to Tyrant’s speed.
Recalling his first voyage and the effect on his butt he couldn’t help but murmur, “ I knew this would happen, I would’ve left the other side unshaven…”

After four hours of running, Fatty Yin finally caved in and started complaining.

“Stop! Stop! At this rate, my butt would split in two!”

Lin Huang’s butt was slightly numb as well and so he decided to stop.

Tyrant lowered the pair down onto the floor and stepped aside.
Rubbing his buttcheeks, Fatty Yin gingerly strode towards Lin Huang.

“Let’s take a break and grab some food before we continue,”

“Alright, I’ll get Tyrant to hunt some meat for us while we have a drink.”

“It’s fine.
I have some food on me right now!” Fatty Yin took a swig of his water bottle as he said this.

After keeping his water bottle, he retrieved a set of kitchenware and a bunch of cut meat with the aggregate size of a soccer ball.

“Where did you get all this meat? I thought they had confiscated all our food?” Lin Huang asked.

“I didn’t smuggle them in if that’s what you are thinking.
This is the leftovers from the Armored Boar the team brought in.
Rear Leg Meat, great stuff! I,Master Fatty view you as a brother.
That’s why I’m sharing this.
I was planning to keep this for myself.” As he said, he started cutting the meat into thin slices.

“So you are a chef.” Seeing the fatty’s practised motions, he came to this conclusion.

“What Chef?! I, Master Fatty am going to be a Gourmet Hunter!” Fatty Yin raised his head and retorted.

There were many kinds of Hunter within the Hunter’s Association.
On top of the popular monster hunting Hunter, there were the Gourmet Hun
