Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Chapter 928: Boiled Crab and Crab Roe and Bacon Baked Rice
"Even if the sun rises several times."

"Even if the bright moon sets several times."

"May I be like the distant stars that do not move."

"For the warrior, the winds of plenty come."

Knock down the bricks on the wall in the order of east, west, north, and south.

With a loud bang, the blocked door finally opened.

At this moment, the treasure chest monster, which had been tricked by the machine but quickly recovered its spirit, chased after him again.

"You're really haunting me." Chirchak said through gritted teeth.

Without thinking too much, he stretched out his short legs and ran out madly.

Nearly.

Nearly.

We are getting closer to the exit!

But the treasure chest monster also caught up with him.

The huge claws were about to clamp Chilchak.

Suddenly, a voice sounded: "Lower your head."

Chilczak did so almost instinctively.

The next second, a flash of sword light appeared.

The wood chips shattered and the treasure chest monster was severely damaged. It struggled for a few times and then stopped moving.

"Are you okay, Chilchak?" Malushiel ran over with her sandals clacking. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was so sleepy that I forgot about you getting water. It was only because Jon found out you were missing that I..."

"I knew it would be like this." Chilchak's face was full of resentment.

Laos and Sensi, one with a sword and the other with an axe, protected Chilchak tightly.

However, their worries were unnecessary.

The most vulnerable part of the treasure chest monster was exposed without any defense - Jon's sword just now almost took half of its life. At this time, it was breathing out more than breathing in, lying there gasping for breath, and no longer had the strength to launch an attack.

"Treasure chest monster? It's huge!"

"It is indeed huge. I have never seen such a huge treasure chest monster."

Sensi and Laos approached while chatting.

Jon yawned. "Really? Who's going to make up for the sleep I've been missing?"

Laos couldn't help but smile and gave Jon a thumbs up: "Although I didn't sleep well, the good news is that I can have a midnight snack!"

Senxi also said: "What a spectacular treasure chest monster. This is the first time I have encountered this type."

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't take it for granted that you can eat it." Malushiel, with disheveled hair, complained, "We don't even know if this thing is poisonous or not."

That being said, her stomach also started to growl.

Hungry is just one word, I will only say it once——

Malushel's face turned slightly red, and she covered her stomach awkwardly.

It was unclear whether Laos really didn't hear or was pretending not to hear. He patiently explained to Marusil, "It's okay, Marusil. The treasure chest monsters themselves are not poisonous. According to the records in the Labyrinth Gourmet Guide, although sometimes treasure chest monsters will eat some poisonous things and be contaminated with some toxins, as long as the digestive organs are removed, there will be no problem at all."

"The Maze Gourmet Guide? What a strange book." Three black lines appeared on Malushiel's forehead.

"It's this book. I carry it with me all the time. I used it as a beginner's guide and monster encyclopedia before, but now it's become a recipe." Laos took out an old, tattered book with many bookmarks from the inner layer of his armor. It was obvious that he had read it many times.

"Let me see..." Malushiel said with a dark face.

Taking the book, she looked at it for a few seconds and her face became darker and darker.

What kind of cult is this?

It's brain polluting!
Chirchak sighed: "Just give up, Marusil. It's useless to say anything now. When Sensi and Laos decided to eat, eating became an inevitable option..."

As he said that, he gritted his teeth and looked at the treasure chest monster that had just died: "But this time, I definitely won't eat it!"

"Okay! I admire tough guys like you." Jon came over, bent down slightly, and patted Chirchak on the shoulder: "I hope you don't learn from Malushel and do a classic remake of 'Really Fragrance' when the time comes."

Chilcak: ???
Even if I, Chilchak, die here, jumping off from here, I will never eat a single bite of your food!
There was a big fuss in the middle of the night.

All sleepiness is gone.

While others were packing their luggage, Senxi got busy.

Disassemble the treasure chest monster, boil water in a pot, sprinkle some salt in it, then throw the cleaned treasure chest monster in, and wait quietly.

After it is fully cooked, the simple midnight snack is ready.

"Boiled treasure chest monster, please enjoy." Senxi came to the crowd with a big pot: "Don't be polite."

polite?

nonexistent.

We are all family, let’s show off!
"This meat is not easy to handle." Laos held a small wooden spoon and started to worry about the legs of the treasure chest monster.

It's difficult to dig.

If you push it, the meat will be pushed in.

It’s really difficult.

"I know a place that invented eight tools specifically for eating crabs... sorry, for eating seafood like the treasure chest monster." Jon said as he skillfully cut open the treasure chest monster's leg with a knife to show Laos the tender red and white meat inside. "Just like this, it's easy to do."

"Oh! You look quite experienced." Laos gave Jon a thumbs up: "As expected of Jon, you are able to do things that others cannot do easily."

Then an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he said to the sullen Chilchak, "Speaking of fine tools... Chilchak, lend me your lock-picking set."

"Ah? Are you kidding? I don't want it! That's what I eat, are you stupid? This is absolutely not acceptable." Chirchak refused without thinking.

For a locksmith, lock-picking tools are like his wife. He takes good care of them, so why would he lend them to others?

"Well, don't be so stingy." Laos laughed strangely, "Don't think I don't know that sometimes you use that tool to open nuts."

Chilcak: ...

Damn, have I been discovered?

But it still doesn't work.

It’s one’s own way to open the nuts.

Open treasure chest monster?
Sorry, can't do it.

At this moment, Senxi also came over and said: "Don't worry about safety issues, as long as you boil it to disinfect it, it will be fine."

"I don't care about safety issues." Chilchak said excitedly in the Halfling dialect, tightly guarding the tool bag on his waist.

Sure enough, nothing good will happen once you encounter a treasure chest monster.

Even his death would not bring peace, and his precious lock-picking tools would also be implicated.

"Lend us your tools, and we promise we won't break them."

"We are all good partners who share weal and woe, right? You don't want me to go hungry because I don't have your tools, which would affect the progress of the day's adventure."

All I can say is that moral kidnapping is not exclusive to any particular world.

Laos and Sensi looked at Chilchak, the poor Little Red Riding Hood, with burning eyes, like two hungry wolves.

"I can't bear to watch this anymore..." Malushiel muttered to herself while holding a treasure chest monster's leg. Jon stretched out his hand: "Do you want me to help you open it?"

Malushel: ...

That's good.

Just kidding, at this point, ordinary monsters are no longer a problem for her (mainly because they are really delicious)

While Jon was opening the treasure chest for Malushiel.

Chirchak was still resisting: "I've told you not to lend it to me, not to lend it to me. Don't you understand?"

He is very sensible.

Unfortunately, in front of two monster lovers who have lost their minds.

Reason is completely useless.

With a little effort, Sensi picked up Chilchak.

Laos took the opportunity to take Chilchak's lock picking tools.

"You bastards!!!"

Chilchak roared.

Chilchak struggled.

Chirchak gave up resistance.

Halfling?
Tauren!
Although the only thing that’s cool is the lock picking tool…

Jon came over and enthusiastically picked out a few items that looked similar to the crab eight pieces: "This, this, and this, they should be very useful."

Malushel cast a pitying look at Chilchak (and chewed).

It must be said that the lock picking tool is indeed much more useful than an ordinary wooden spoon. With a little stirring in the treasure chest monster's leg, the tender meat was quickly stirred out.

"I'm sorry that I was a little rude to you just now, but we really couldn't help it. Anyway, don't be angry, Chilchak. You're the best person and you always take care of us... Come on, have a bite too." Laos held up a bunch of tender meat and came to Chilchak.

Chilchak stared at Laos with a gloomy face without saying a word.

"I'm sorry. But think about it from another perspective. After all, it was you who discovered this treasure chest monster, and it made you so miserable. If you don't take a bite of it, wouldn't it be a shame?" Laos smiled apologetically.

Chilchak's face remained gloomy.

Laos: bulingbuling~
"Okay, okay, I'm really impressed by you." Chilchak finally gave in.

Being in a bad mood is being in a bad mood.

I'm hungry.

Facts have proved that no one can escape the law of true fragrance.

There was no choice but to taste the meat of the treasure chest monster with a stern face.

Then he buried his head deep into his knees.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, it's just a treasure chest monster!"

Malushiel was anxious, "You, don't steal my lines."

Jon looked at this, then looked at that, and suddenly had an idea, so he took the body of the treasure chest monster away by himself.

"I have some ideas. You guys eat first. I'll be back soon."

"Is Qiao Qiao going to start cooking again? That's really exciting." Senxi was the most excited. He didn't even bother to eat the treasure chest monster. He hurried over to follow Jon, apparently wanting to learn some new cooking skills.

What a blessing.

There are two people in the team who can cook~
Laos ate happily.

Malushel ate in silence.

Chilchak ate glumly.

Eat eat eat, eat eat eat.

"This is really delicious, very elastic, the more you chew, the more flavor comes out. And the meat on the back seems to taste different from the meat on the leg." Laos said with an expectant expression: "Will it be the same dish as the three fresh delicacies last time?"

"That kind of thing is fine." When you are full, you are confident. Malu. I don't like to eat monsters. Hill turned around and chatted with Chilchak: "Come to think of it, why didn't you shout at that time? We were obviously in the next room. If you just shouted, there would be no need to face the treasure chest monster alone."

Chilchak said with a bitter face: "I don't have any good memories about the treasure chest monster. I thought that if I can solve it myself, I will solve it myself. Except that I am afraid of attracting other monsters and the "Crazy Magician" who is somewhere unknown, I personally... forget it, anyway, my judgment in various aspects is slow."

After a pause, he continued, "Didn't I show you the treasure bug I found before? The thought of that cute creature being eaten by a hateful treasure chest monster makes me crazy."

"But treasure chest monsters don't eat treasure bugs." Laos explained seriously, "It's better to say that treasure bugs eat treasure chest monsters. Once a treasure chest monster is found, the treasure bugs will lay eggs in the cracks of the box. The larvae hatched in the box will eat the treasure chest monster while growing up. When they grow into adults, once the box is opened, a box full of treasure bugs will appear. People will naturally regard them as treasures."

“So—” He spread his hands: “It will lead to the same fate as the team we encountered before.”

What will happen?
Of course, the team was wiped out because they failed to find the treasure bug.

"It turns out that my worries were unnecessary..." After listening to Laos's popular science, Chilchak's face became even darker.

"Okay, okay, be good and don't lose your temper." Malushiel took the opportunity to touch Zilchak's head.

"Hey, what are you doing? I told you not to treat me like a child." Chilchak reacted strongly and quickly moved away from Malushiel.

"This is the lesson I learned from hiding something from my companions." Malushel put her hands on her hips and took the opportunity to say, "Now, you should tell us your real age, right?"

Chilcak sighed.

"Go ahead and tell me, don't be shy." Malushiel struck while the iron was hot.

The halfling locksmith turned his face away deliberately: "I am... 29 years old this year."

29? !
When people heard this answer, their reactions were mixed.

Laos looked stunned.

Malushel had a disappointed expression.

She frowned and said, "29 years old? He's just a child."

Chirchak stamped his feet in anger, "So the long-lived species really are... Then again, how old are you?"

To this question, Laos answered truthfully: "I am younger than you, Mr. Chilchak."

Zilczak: (╬皿)
Don't call me sir, it sounds weird.

In order to vent his anger, he ate the treasure chest monster even more.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, it's just a treasure chest monster! Why is it so delicious?"

Malushiel: Why are you stealing my lines?
When they had almost finished eating the legs, claws and other odds and ends, Jon and Sensi finally came back.

"We still have some rice left, right? I thought we had crabs... ahem, chest monsters. Anyway, to me, they're almost the same. So I made this with the remaining salt-baked meat, vegetables, crab meat, and crab roe."

Qiao En came up to the crowd with a pot in his hand: "Ding ding~ Crab roe and bacon baked rice."

"Isn't it a bit too late to eat rice at this hour?" Malushiel, who had a clear plan for her figure, looked embarrassed.

She wanted to say no.

She couldn't resist the fragrance which kept going into her nose!

After hesitating for a moment, the silly elf shook his head and said, "Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"That's right, the brave ones enjoy the world first. You are the fattest." Jon smiled and served Malushiel a large bowl of rice.

I have to say that compared to the previous dark dishes like the grilled rat slices, the crab roe baked rice is a normal dish among normal dishes, and Malushiel was surprisingly able to accept it.
