After Li Wei left with the Witch, Ma Lu also began to process the ingredients.
He first reclaimed the Chef's Knife from the Hellhound and cut off a Sweet Potato Knight's arm.
Just this arm alone weighed nearly 300 pounds, and it emitted a sweet fragrance. Unable to resist, Ma Lu cut off a finger, peeled it, and ate it raw.
The taste was indeed quite good, though it kept drawing sidelong glances from Yun Que.
Afterwards, his hands busy, he sliced off the other arm as well and stuffed it into the Collection Bag. The remaining 400 pounds of counterweight he left for the 5-star ingredient, the tireless purple eggplant.
With the 100% efficiency bonus in food processing from the Chef's Knife, Ma Lu managed to clean up quite swiftly, taking less than 5 minutes. But even so, the number of Energized Plants nearby visibly increased.
Ma Lu didn't delay any further and immediately led the Witches out of the Skyward Forest.
