hunt and eat

"Guta, no matter what, it has to be cooked before eating." Niya slapped her forehead and said with some headaches.

"I don't think it's wrong to eat raw ones, just treat it as sashimi..."

Ignoring Guta who was talking nonsense that no one understood, Nia took out a few kitchen knives from her small bag.

Weiwei on the side temporarily put down the gleaming Longhui Yaojin in her hand, and walked over holding a big iron pot.

After putting down the iron pot, Weiwei casually picked up some hot black burning charcoal beside Kailong, and weighed it.

"These are the essence of burning coal. Should it be said that they are the ores that even Kailong carries with him?"

Guta gave her a puzzled look, "Is there any difference compared to ordinary burning coal?"

In his eyes, those burning coals seemed to be nothing special except that they were a little darker.

Shaking her head as if the rotten wood could not be carved, Weiwei walked to the pile of firewood that had already been piled up.

These logs were cut in advance when they were at the bottom of the mountain. After all, there are not many green trees on Soot Mountain, and they are still small trees, so we don’t want to spoil them.

Holding two oval-shaped burning coals in his white hands, he rubbed them casually, sputtering out a little undetectable sparks.

With the fall of sparks, the firewood below was instantly ignited, and a dazzling fire erupted.

"Fuck, this is exciting!" Guta exclaimed for a while.

Weiwei carefully separated the two burning charcoal essences into two packages, and explained: "This kind of essence is generally called the burning stone essence. When it is usually placed alone, no matter how many times it collides, it will not look like It burns like ordinary coal and even explodes, but..."

She paused, and continued: "If two identical burning stone spirits collide, they will separate highly concentrated heat energy, which is the Mars you just saw."

At this moment, Nia raised her hand.

"Okay, what do you want to ask, classmate Nia?" Weiwei pushed the non-existent glasses on her nose like a teacher.

"Why does this happen? Aren't they essentially burning coal?"

"Someone has studied this problem..." Weiwei started to walk slowly around the fire with her hands behind her back. "According to speculation, this is because the essence of the burning stone is a concentrated ore formed after being highly compressed underground. Its own density and strength They are far better than ordinary burning stone mines."

"As a result, its own structure is more stable, but when two equally stable Burning Stone Essences collide, the stable structure on its surface will be undetectably damaged, thus releasing a little highly concentrated heat energy. "

The ancient tower has already begun to look up at the sky.

He didn't understand a word, nor was he interested in understanding it.

He just wanted to ask:

Do you still have this meal today?

……

With the assistance of Guta and Weiwei, Nia quickly made a whole pot of fried armored dragon meat.

Guta even took advantage of Nia's inattention and secretly cut half of the dragon's heart into it.

The dragon heart of Kailong is an extremely precious special ingredient, which can be made into various boosting potions, but it makes Nia feel bad.

But this armored dragon was basically hunted by Guta alone, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only mutter "prodigal son" while reluctantly continuing to cook.

Finally, as the lid of the pot was lifted, a whole pot of steaming dishes appeared in front of the three of them.

Plenty of bright red peppers cover the perfectly cooked but still pink-tender dragon meat, and the green onions as a condiment are nicely embellished with a final touch of green, while also adding a lot of flavor.

"Wei Wei, are you sure you can eat spicy food?" Nia looked at Wei Wei who was so greedy that she swallowed her chopsticks with some uncertainty.

Although she has long been accustomed to eating spicy food, she also understands that not everyone in every place can accept this level of spiciness.

At least the three Sanji brothers and sisters can't do it at all. They can drink three glasses of water just by dipping some chili.

"Hiss ~ gurgling"

Weiwei swallowed hard, moved her small nose, and patted her plump chest carelessly, "Don't worry, I like spicy food the most."

As one of the few people in Paley who likes and can eat spicy food, Weiwei also met like-minded food friends for the first time.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's eat!" Guta picked up the bowl in his hand and began to pick up vegetables.

The strong aroma of chili, accompanied by the soft and smooth Kailong meat, swept across the mouth. For a while, even the ancient towers that are used to spicy food can sweat on their foreheads.

"I always thought I could eat spicy food, but I didn't expect..." Weiwei's lips were bright red, she picked up the water bottle at the side, and began to pour it into her mouth.

"Then do you still eat?" Guta asked concerned.

Don't get me wrong, he doesn't care if Weiwei gets hot.

He just wanted to know if he could have less chopsticks for a while.

After all, this pot of meat might not be enough for him alone.

"Of course I ate it!" Weiwei glared at Guta dissatisfied, and picked up the bowl and chopsticks again.

Sighing regretfully, Guta muttered, "I knew I would have doubled the peppers," and joined the ranks of grabbing food.

With the starry night above their heads, the laughter of the three people echoed one after another, echoing endlessly in the long open-air cave.

The bonfire burned wantonly, reflecting the shadows of the three into a black shadow on the wall.

……

Chapter 41 Sudden Assassination

The next day, the three of them had a rare long sleep, until the sun fell vertically on their faces, and they reluctantly got up.

Rubbing his loose eyelids, Guta yawned and began to pack his luggage.

【Bast LV4】

[Significantly enhance skin defense]

This is the new ability Guta gained after eating the armored dragon meat.

Needless to say, this ability is useful.

Just think of Kailong's invulnerable rock armor, and you can get a glimpse of the end of this ability.

It's just a pity that this ability stays at level four.

According to the experience summed up so far, it seems that every ability will have some special changes after 5 levels.

If nothing else, the ability of bast skin will also have new characteristics after it reaches level five.

Although I don't know how to improve it, as long as I continue to eat it, it will probably be fine.

Guta thought in his heart.

"Pack it up, we're ready to go." Nia on the side patted the lazily ancient pagoda, and then pulled up Weiwei who was leaning against the wall with some difficulty.

There is no way not to work hard.

After all, there was a big difference between Nia and Weiwei in terms of height and weight. In addition, Nia was not very strong, so it was even more difficult.

"That's great, the meat is growing in the right place."

Nia glanced at Weiwei's chest calmly, then at her buttocks, and sighed from the bottom of her heart.

She still doesn't know when she will start to develop, compared to...

Nia turned her head to look at the boy beside her.

In just half a year, this guy has grown around again. If he continues to grow at this rate, he will break through two meters sooner or later.

Speaking of which, are parents two meters tall?

The heights of everyone in the village flashed through Nya's mind, and she finally felt a burst of despair.

It seems that the tallest in the village is Grandpa Palletta, a retired hunter, who is only 1.8 meters five.

It's over!

……

Row down the somewhat steep mountain, Guta looked back at the dark cave above his head.

"The mission went surprisingly well."

As he thought about it, he kept his hands down, groping for the stone wall and climbing down.

Compared with going up the mountain, going down the mountain seems to be a more difficult thing.

After all, there are almost no footholds in some places. If they didn't bring the nail cone with them, the three of them might really have to take a detour down the mountain.

It took them about an hour and a half to go up the mountain, but it took them a full two and a half hours to go down.

Seeing that the sun began to shift downward, they finally returned to the place where the chocobo was placed.

"Snowball, do you miss me?"

From a distance, the white chocobo that saw Niya's return croaked happily, then flapped its short and broad wings, and rushed towards the three of them.

After using the face and snowball stickers, Nia began to put some materials on its back.

The ancient pagoda is still the same, except for a small part of the broken armor of the Kailong, his biggest load is a piece of breast meat of the Kailong which weighs thirty catties.

Hastily wrapped it with a thick cloth, and he put it on the back of his chocobo.

In contrast, Weiwei was much more sensible, and took the initiative to help Nia share a lot of burdens, and glared at Guta proudly by the way.

"Hey, scumbag!"

Guta accidentally said this word when several people were chatting, and casually said that it was a curse word, and then evaded it, but Weiwei remembered it.

"No way, Sir, this can also punch?"

Rolling the whites of his eyes, Guta wordlessly untied the chocobo from the reins, and turned on the bird.

"gone back."

Along the way, the few people never encountered any obstacles.

At the same time, because he was already familiar with the route, he went back much faster. As soon as it got dark, he saw Pale's towering defensive city wall from a distance.

"It should be time to submit the task, it's not too late." Guta looked at Nia at the side.

Because the task was accepted by Nia, he was not very clear about the specific handover procedures.

Shaking her head, Nia explained: "This task was secretly issued by the branch leader Cassius, so we don't go to the counter when submitting the task, just hand over the task book and Long Huiyaojin to him."

"Is that so..."

Nodding his head, Guta made it clear.

But soon, he noticed three black-armored hunters riding chocobos on the road not far away, as if they were waiting for someone.

Before he could speak, the leader of the three spoke first.

"Excuse me, is it Your Excellency Guta?"

Although the other party looked much older, his tone was surprisingly respectful.

Guta held the reins tightly and controlled the Chocobo to stop slowly.

Although it was getting late, but with the superhuman vision bestowed by [Eagle Eye], he still sized up these three people in an instant.

The outfits and weapons of the three are very similar. They are all dressed in black light leather armor, and they carry an uncommon machete with short arms on their backs.

A scimitar of this length can even be considered a short knife among hunters.

Generally speaking, hunters usually deal with large beasts and monsters, and rarely use such a short blade.In fact, big knives and swords like the ancient tower, which are usually two or three meters long, are common equipment for hunters.

Looking at the other party's attire, it was very similar to the two hunters that Cassius accompanied that day.

It seems to be the standard equipment of the Shadow Troops of the Hunter Guild.

"Is something wrong?" Guta asked curiously.

"It's like this. Lord Cassius ordered us to wait here. From your appearance, it seems that the task has been successfully completed? Congratulations..." The leading man glanced at the large scales on the backs of the three chocobos in the ancient tower. Armor and material, smiled and arched their hands.

"Give us Long Hui Yaojin and the task book, and then go to rest, and we will handle the follow-up handover matters."

Nia and Weiwei nodded, and were about to pass things to each other.

After the three-day journey, they were all dirty, and they couldn't wait to take a shower in the big bathroom.

"Wait a minute..." Guta suddenly reached out to stop his companion.

He turned his head to look at the three of them, and asked, "Just in case, you guys should show me the proof. After all, it's not a trivial matter, so it's better to be cautious."

The leading man's smile froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.
