hunt and eat

It's a pity that the ancient pagoda in front of me is not clear, and my mother-in-law is not going to tell him, she just wants to watch the fun.

When I'm old, I have a bit of a bad taste.

"What would you like to eat today?" Guta felt his bulging stomach, thinking in a daze.

Now, as long as he didn't encounter the Raptorsaurus back then, most of the dangerous areas could be said to be unimpeded.

【Ancient Tower】

[Occupation: Reserve Hunter]

[Abilities: Cold Resistance LV3, Reflex LV1, Agility LV2, Giant Power LV1, Haste LV2, Slash LV2]

After three months of training, his original cold resistance was upgraded to LV3, his agility was also upgraded by one level, and his slashing was upgraded to LV2.

Unfortunately, the giant power LV1 acquired by the Snow Lion King has not been upgraded, but Guta has obtained some abilities from other monsters one after another.

Generally speaking, compared with three months ago, his current strength is not what it used to be, and it can be regarded as completely reborn.

The only pity is that although the strength of some monsters has reached the standard, the seemingly obtainable ability list overlaps with other monsters that have been hunted, so that no more new skills have been obtained.

"Nia, have there been many monsters from the snow-capped mountains recently?" Guta asked suddenly.

During the two days of hunting, he clearly felt that the number of monsters around the village was not right, and some monsters that could only be seen on the snow-capped mountains appeared nearby.

Nia nodded, and handed Guta the Kuta tea that was brewed beside her.

"Two days ago, Uncle Sanchez was attacked by a giant clawed beast. I have never encountered such a monster near the village before."

"That's it..." Guta sipped hot Kuta tea, thought for a while, and said to the mother-in-law of the village head opposite: "Mother-in-law of the village head, we will clean up the surrounding area in the next two days, please tell everyone , don’t go too far to hunt beforehand.”

The village head mother-in-law nodded with a smile.

"I've almost eaten too, Nia, have you brought all your supplies?" Guta licked the rice grains on his fingers, slowly got up, and twisted his neck.

The girl on the side pointed to a large backpack at the door.

"Okay, let's go now, and treat it as a digestion." Nodding, Guta and Nia said goodbye to the village chief's mother-in-law, picked up their backpacks and walked out of the village without stopping.

Not long after, the hunter guild's assessment ship will arrive. After the assessment is passed, both I and Nia will leave Pazzini Island and head to the mainland. This is also an inevitable choice for every new hunter.

Although there is some reluctance to leave everyone in the village, there is no other way.

After all, Pacini Island is still too small, and Guta is eager to explore a wider world, after all, that means a lot of food that has never been tasted, and countless and strange monsters.

Perhaps it is destined to part, but before leaving, I can still do something for the village.

……

"Nia, release the animal repellent smoke and drive them to that clearing!"

In the snowy dense forest, the ancient pagoda leaped high and followed closely behind the three giant bears whose whole bodies were covered with blue carapace and fur.

Those were three blue bear beasts that slipped out from the depths of the snow mountain.

For ordinary villagers, their hunting level is still a bit high, so Guta didn't plan to let them go today.

It is worth mentioning that today's ancient pagoda wears a complete set of snow-white fur armor, which almost blends with the white earth.

This is the Snow Lion King suit made of the whole body material of Snow Lion King.

Because he killed the real Snow Lion King and obtained its huge teeth, the production of the suit was also advanced.It took about ten days before and after, and the set in front of me was made.

Nia, who was a little behind, narrowed her eyes, and fired a special tube wrapped in thick black smoke in the direction of the Grizzly Beast.

Sensitive noses smelled the unpleasant smell, and the three monsters changed direction directly and ran towards the open space not far away.

This is a special smoke bomb made of monster feces and some stinky grass, which can effectively dispel most small monsters.

Relying on the excellent running ability brought to him by his haste LV2, even though he was carrying a heavy wide-bladed bone knife, Guta still approached the three fleeing blue bears little by little.

The blue bear beast that landed at the back seemed to sense the approaching danger behind it, so it turned around and let out a loud roar.

The six-meter-long body stood upright, and the two front paws embraced the final ancient pagoda.

However, how could Guta, who was already an agile LV2, be injured by this move?

With just a slight step forward, he turned sideways and dodged this powerful bear hug, flipped the bone blade in his right hand, and crossed the blue bear beast.

Without stopping for a moment, he ignored the blue bear beast who was still standing there in a daze, and turned to chase after its two fleeing partners.

Three seconds later, Nia, who was slightly behind, glanced at the Grizzly Beast that had fallen to the ground and the knife mark on the opponent's chest, but she kept walking and followed Guta's back. .

Chapter 10 The Legendary Delicacy - Grilled Green Bear Paws

"Huh~ Guta, you move so fast."

Nia came in a hurry, and from a long distance, she saw the young man squatting in front of the two bear corpses collecting materials.

The boning knife moved along the edge of the fur, and with the oozing of a large amount of scarlet blood, a piece of bear skin was simply peeled off.

This method of handling prey was not known in the ancient pagoda, but the mother-in-law of the village chief told him clearly that this is the knowledge that every hunter must learn.

Fortunately, with the correction of the sword weapon that came with his [Slash LV2], he had mastered this skill thoroughly within a few days, and even used it better than many old hunters.

Pulling out the wide-bladed bone knife behind his back, Guta slashed down several times.

The drive of the bear carcass is visibly divided into several pieces by the naked eye.

Carefully wrapping the bear's paws with lotus-like plant leaves, Guta unconsciously licked the moist corners of his mouth.

The bear's paw of the blue bear beast is notoriously expensive and rare.

It's not because of the difficulty of hunting, but at its root, it's mainly to protect the blue bear beast, a species that is generally not strong in reproduction.

Who calls it bear's paw, it is the first-class food that countless gourmets flock to.

"Guta, please tell me first, I have never cooked the bear paw of the green bear beast, you should find the village chief's mother-in-law." Nia, who understood Guta's nature, said, and then helped to divide the meat, using simple After the rope was firmly tied, it was tied piece by piece to myself.

"Ah, I'm not going to eat here." Guta touched the saliva at the corner of his mouth, saying something against his will.

Both of them were quick with their hands and feet, and within a few strokes, they packed up the materials that could be collected from the Grizzly Beast, as well as some of the high-quality bear meat.

After that, they did the same thing and cleaned up the first green bear that was hunted half a kilometer away. The two of them carried the package that was several times heavier and set foot on the way back to the village in the snowstorm.

……

"Nia, you have noticed that the bear's paw needs to be turned over constantly during the roasting process, so that the meat is heated evenly. But the time should not be too short, in case the center of the bear's paw is not cooked through."

The snow outside the window was mixed with small pieces of hailstones, still falling sporadically.

With his back against the window sill, Guta rested his hands on his cross-legged knees, looking expectantly at the peeled bear's paw that was sizzling with oil on the iron plate beside him.

Saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth like bursting a bank, but he didn't know it.

Looking back at the iron plate, as the bear meat gradually turns golden, even without any seasoning, the rich meaty aroma has permeated the entire cooking room.

There were quite a few villagers and children blocking the door, all of them stretched their necks, staring at the green bear's paw that the village chief's mother-in-law was cooking.

"I'm talking about Guta, can you divide your bear's paw..."

"hiss!"

As soon as a girl of about the same age tentatively opened her mouth, Guta jumped up as if her hair was blown, and made a big cross gesture at herself full of hostility.

"Guta, you have hunted three green bear beasts, let us have a taste~" A tall, red-nosed villager scratched his cheek speechlessly.

It was the uncle tailor who helped make the Snow Lion King suit.

"I..." Guta bit the bullet and wanted to say no, but the village chief's mother-in-law pulled her arm.

"Hey, I'm so annoying, I'll share with you, nothing more." Guta turned his back as if angry, without even looking at the villagers.

Everyone laughed.

Not long after, under the guidance of the village chief's mother-in-law, Nia sprinkled coarse salt and flavor-enhancing vanilla powder on the surface of the already golden bear's paw.

The seductive and deep meaty fragrance swept across the entire room in an instant, and everyone who smelled it closed their eyes and enjoyed it.

"As expected of an A-grade ingredient, if it weren't for the trade union's explicit ban on indiscriminate killing, this stuff would have been eaten and extinct long ago."

The retired hunter who didn't know when was lying by the window, with a face that was much older than the village head's mother-in-law, was full of nostalgia.

As a member of professional hunters, he couldn't understand the temperament of those partners who are keen on hunting and exploring.

All I think about all day, besides hunting, is eating.With their barren minds, it is difficult to think of such macro-level things as ecological protection and species extinction.

"Guta, try it..." Nia handed the wooden plate containing the bear's paw to Guta who couldn't wait.

A cold light flashed across the knife and fork in his hand, and half a bear's paw went into his mouth in almost a second.

Before chewing, a meaty aroma with a hint of fruity honey immediately exploded on the taste buds.

There is a dignified meat flavor in the fragrance, and the vanilla powder covered on the surface perfectly integrates the sweet and greasy feeling of smearing honey.

Gu Taru originally wanted to hold it for a while longer, but in the end he couldn't bear to chew a few mouthfuls, and then burst into tears.

What a fairy taste! ?

The meat is soft with a sense of tenacity, plump and mellow, full of fragrance.Just chewing casually, most of the bear paws that melted in the mouth disappeared, and a lot of thick gravy oozes out of the soft waxy, which makes people feel distressed and enjoyable.

It's not that he has never eaten bear's paws. When he was a food judge in his previous life, he almost vomited after eating similar things, but generally speaking, isn't the taste of bear's paws closer to that of completely boiled beef tendon?

Why is the bear paw of the green bear beast so spicy and delicious?And it doesn't taste as bland as a bear's paw.

Rather, is this really a bear's paw?

After being moved, Guta had the urge to rush into the snow-capped mountains in one breath, and hunt another seven or eight green bear beasts.

But reason told him that he couldn't, because this was a serious violation of the regulations of the Hunter Guild, and once he was discovered, he would be deprived of his status as a hunter for life.

"Is it delicious, Guta?" Niya looked at the tearful Guta, her almond eyes narrowed happily.

"Hm... hiccup!" Gobbling half of the bear's paw into his stomach, Guta wiped the corner of his mouth in satisfaction, and gave a thumbs up sincerely.

"When will the next piece be ready?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm not greedy, just let me take a sip."

"It's enough for me to lick the plate!"

Smelling the tempting smell of meat, coupled with the fact that Guta thoroughly interpreted the delicacy of the bear's paw with his expression, the villagers blocking the door wanted to rush into the house for a while.

They also want to taste the dishes made of the legendary high-grade ingredients!

"Everyone wait outside the house, so many people come in, are you trying to crush the old woman's house?" The village head mother-in-law snorted and drove everyone out of the cooking hut.

The village chief had spoken, and the big guys could only retreat angrily one by one.

It's just that the eyeballs are still rolling, no one really stays away from here.

After all, if the cooking is finished in a while, most of them still have to work fast.

The winner eats the meat, the loser... may not even be able to lick the plate!

Chapter 11 The delegation arrives

"Captain, the storm at sea is getting bigger and bigger!"

On the turbulent sea, a huge transport ship was breaking through the dark waves, heading towards Pacini Island where Guta's village was located.

Above the mast, a hunter with a lookout glass roared loudly towards the deck below.

"I found a water dragon subspecies ahead, do I want to avoid it?"

The deck was now full of heavily armed professional hunters, and as the watchman's voice sounded again, everyone looked at the burly man with blond hair.

A simple unknown leather vest was casually worn on the sturdy body of a tusk beast.With his bare arms folded casually around his chest, a ferocious smile appeared on the man's scarred face.

"Dodge? Go straight into it!" The hoarse, bloody voice swept across the entire floor of Squad A without haste.

"However, the transport ship we took this time is already 23 years old, and it may not be able to last..." The lookout who newly joined the hunter group deliberately dissuaded him, but looked at the unchanging expressions of the man and the countless hunters behind him, Finally shut up.

In the sea area not far away, a huge and extremely long green dragon broke through the waves, and the thick fish wings that replaced the forelimbs slapped violently on the undulating sea surface, splashing more than ten meters of waves.

The long and narrow dragon head stared at the flickering lights of the Hunter Union transport ship, its snake-like eyes rolled around, hesitated for a while, and then dived into the water again.

Dragon scales resembling fish scales pierced the dark sea surface, and rushed towards the side of the ship from one side at a high speed.

It obviously didn't want to let go of this strange prey it had never seen before.

"Cuishuilong, it's still a little guy in terms of size."

The man laughed with great interest, and his lion-like eyes looked at the giant that was at least 20 meters tall and rushed to one side.
