who knows

Zhong Liqing didn't know whether it was caused by the innate gap between the monster race and the human race, or this Ao girl was so keen and capable, when she was still thinking about how to open the universe bag or the storage ring to get food , the blue-haired girl who looked not much stronger than her has already pushed aside the vegetation that obscured her sight and walked out.

Hearing the sound of "squeaking" water, Zhong Liqing followed her closer and took a look. The rippling water outside the forest turned out to be a small river—it might not be true if it was a small river, but the water was not very clear. Impenetrable.

The surface of the river is only about ten feet wide, even for ordinary people without any spiritual power, and those who are good at swimming, it is not difficult to cross the river, as long as there is nothing blocking the way in the river.

That Ao Qianyin looked cold and arrogant, but she was unequivocal when she waded into the water. She didn't care that the river water soaked her shoes, socks and skirts. The rippling water surface gradually calmed down, and the river surface gradually returned to calm, as if she did not exist.

Zhong Liqing glanced at her, closed her mouth sensibly, and even breathed lightly... She seemed to understand Miss Ao's plan, although she had some doubts in her heart, she still chose to wait and see what happened.

After about half a stick of incense, Ao Qianyin moved.

With a twist of the willow waist, those white and slender hands suddenly plunged into the water, the movement was so fast that an afterimage was left in Zhong Liqing's eyes, and when she realized what happened, Ao Qianyin was already holding a three-foot The big fish that came to grow shook its head and tail, as if it wanted to turn around and take a bite.

The fish was born differently from ordinary fish, instead of layer upon layer of scales, it had a layer of hard skin like armor, and the two protruding eyeballs glowed fiercely, and they kept closing due to lack of oxygen. The mouth was full of sharp teeth, and the barbs on the tail stood up, struggling fiercely, if Ao Qianyin hadn't caught it firmly, he might have fled back into the water long ago.

——This fish looks fierce, but what does it taste like?

Zhong Liqing and Ao Qianyin looked at each other, the latter smiled at her, casually flicked the fish, hit a tree trunk on the bank, and heard a muffled "pop", the fish was caught by her The strength trembled, but he didn't faint. Instead, he kept thumping on the ground, unwilling to go back into the water again.

Looking at that posture, it seems that he has become a spirit and has become conscious. If he doesn't stop it, it seems that he can really return to the water with a few jumps.

Just as the big fish was thumping desperately, there was a soft sound of "噗嗤", a sharp stone pierced into the tail of the big fish fiercely, nailing it firmly to the ground like a chisel , the fish was severely injured suddenly, struggled a few more times, and then stopped completely.

Dark red blood flowed out from the pierced blood hole, and the smell of blood and fish became even more unpleasant.

But Zhong Liqing and Ao Qianyin looked at each other indifferently, the former pulled out the sharp stone as if nothing had happened, took another stone, and began to polish it slowly; the latter nodded in satisfaction and continued to sink Settle down and get ready to catch your next fish with your bare hands.

For a moment, neither of them opened their mouths, but they understood each other's meaning tacitly.

Division of labor and cooperation, self-reliance.

A quarter of an hour later, not far from the river, a pile of dead leaves and broken wood was ignited, and on the fire, there were a few rough and burnable branches, which had been cut off and sharpened. , made into a simple wooden skewer.

A big fish that had been disemboweled and cleaned inside was stuck on the branch. The tongue of flames licked the belly of the fish that was constantly turning over and over, roasting the scarlet flesh on the surface. After a while, a faint aroma emanated from the grilled fish. came out, but Zhong Liqing, who was turning the branch, kept the movement of her hands indifferently, only turning her head from time to time to correct Ao Qianyin's movement of cutting the fish.

"It's ok, you don't need to cut it too open, just empty out the internal organs, let's go with the head too, this fish has too many teeth, and there is no meat on the face," Zhong Liqing turned his head and glanced at the grilling The surface of the fish was a little burnt yellow, and the aroma was stronger than before. She took the branch away and baked it at a distance to warm it up, but no longer put it directly on it, and then commanded, "Pour some juice on the The surface should be as uniform as possible, and the smelly grass should be stuffed into the belly of the fish."

Beside the fire where she grilled fish, another pile of dead leaves with a smaller fire was burning, and a crude stone pot was placed on top of it, and a pot of fish soup was stewing in it. "The sound, along with the fragrance that slowly spread out, tantalizes one's appetite.

After Ao Qianyin finished handling the second fish, Zhong Liqing handed her the one that was already on the fire, took the other fish, put it on the fire, and grilled it wholeheartedly—even though her stomach was already "gurgling" "He protested fiercely, but kept a calm look on his face, turning over the second grilled fish slowly, as if nothing would disturb her.

"Eat it while it's hot." She bit her lip and smiled shyly at Ao Qianyin, as if she was not confident in her skills, but in her heart she just hoped that Ao Qianyin would be the person who tested the poison— — This girl looks very strong, and the physique of a half-demon is far superior to her own. Even if she is poisoned, she won't die for a while.

Ao Qianyin caught a total of five fish, two big ones were used for grilling, and three small ones were stewed in soup; there were some non-toxic herbs on the river bank, which could remove the fishy smell, and she picked some wild fish from the roots of the river. The fungus is delicious, and the fruit on the tree is picked. The sweetness is a little sour. Instead of honey pulp, spread it on the surface of the fish to remove the taste.

With some condiments, this pure natural dish becomes even more attractive.

The fish was processed with the knife that Ao Qianyin brought along, and some branches were cut to serve as skewers. The stone pot for the stew was made by the powerful Miss Ao, following Zhong Liqing's instructions, and smashed the fish with stones from the shore. Grind it out.

Zhong Liqing even felt that they were really like the primitive people who made utensils with bare hands in the ancient times-although it took a lot of effort to handle the ingredients and prepare the utensils, when the aroma of the fish soup wafted away, Ao Qianyin felt All that effort was worth it.

And now, it's time to enjoy the results.

After taking the grilled fish handed over by Zhong Liqing, he tore a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. Ao Qianyin, who was used to delicacies from mountains and seas, saw a bright light and accelerated the speed of eating. The big fish solved most of the problems.

"How?" Seeing that she didn't say a word, Zhong Liqing just buried her head in hard work with no expression on her face, thinking that she was doing it reluctantly in order to regain her strength, so she asked casually, but she didn't have much hope—this was her first time. When cooking at one time, there are very few utensils and seasonings that can be used. It is not bad if it can be cooked, and I don’t expect it to be delicious.

As for these methods of seasoning to remove the fishy smell, they are only seen occasionally. Zhong Liqing is still skeptical about whether these methods are useful, but he can't guarantee the taste of the food he makes.

——Besides, looking at Miss Ao's appearance, I'm afraid the taste is not very good.

Forget it, being able to fill the stomach is the most important thing, and nothing else matters.

Zhong Liqing curled her lips helplessly, comforting herself in her heart, wanting to wait a while before trying the cooking done by her hands, but Ao Qianyin, who was silently eating and not expressing her opinion, suddenly raised her head to look at her, then tore off a piece of fish meat, thoughtfully Blowing on her mouth, handed it to Zhong Liqing's mouth, she didn't speak, just bent her lips to look at her.

Staring at the fish delivered to her mouth, Zhong Liqing suppressed the urge to frown, smiled shyly at her, opened her mouth slightly, and bit the piece of fish—even though she was very careful, she just squeezed it tightly. After eating the piece of fish, the other party seemed to rub his hand on her lips on purpose, and the soft and cold fingertips touched her lips, and he pressed them with endless interest. Seeing her awkwardly looking at In the past, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

Zhong Liqing's eyes paused, but she didn't look at her again, she lowered her head pretending to be shy, hiding the anger in her eyes, pretending that she hadn't noticed the other party's intentional or unintentional teasing, and focused on the fish in her mouth, the next moment, she challenged her in surprise. Raising eyebrows——the taste of this fish meat is unexpectedly excellent, with a hint of fruity sweetness in the charred flesh, leaving a lingering fragrance on the teeth and cheeks, with endless aftertaste.

The most surprising thing is not the taste of the fish, but as the fish eats, it seems that a trace of spiritual power escapes from the fish and penetrates into her dantian and meridians.

Zhong Liqing glanced at Ao Qianyin: "This fish..."

"That's right." The latter nodded, tore another piece of fish and handed it to Zhong Liqing's mouth, smiling deeply, as if planning to repeat the old trick.

Zhong Liqing sneered in her heart, but she only showed a shy and embarrassed look on her face, and turned her face away: "You just eat your own, don't feed me."

After speaking, he didn't care about the fact that his fish hadn't reached the fire yet, so he took a big bite when he brought it over, even though his teeth were grinning and his tongue hurt because of the hot fish just out of the fire, he didn't care to lick it. He licked his lips, chewed vigorously as if he was extremely hungry, imagining that he was biting the flesh and blood of Ao Qianyin, and finally he could breathe a little.

Zhong Liqing thought: Maybe they found a shortcut to improve their cultivation in this prehistoric fantasy world - food supplements.

In the prehistoric period, gods and demons stood side by side, monster races were rampant, and their strength was extraordinary.

The monster race absorbs the flesh and blood of other races to strengthen itself by eating and absorbing the flesh and blood of other races, and the speed of cultivation is much faster than other races. Exaggerated several times.

And this rule of improving one's cultivation by eating is also applicable to the human race, which is an unexpected surprise for Zhong Liqing - just such a fish, Zhong Liqing feels that the spiritual power in the body has recovered to the level of Qi refining layer level.

If it is deduced from this, according to this progress, as long as she keeps eating, wouldn't she be able to recover to the strength of the middle stage of Nascent Soul soon?

However, the ideal is always full, but the reality is often very skinny.

After eating a whole grilled fish and insisting on drinking half a bowl of fish soup, her cultivation had barely risen to the second level of Qi Refining, but Zhong Liqing felt her stomach was swollen, and she felt full—I'm afraid it wasn't a little, but she was already full The stomach is so deep that it is possible to vomit it out.

On the other hand, Ao Qianyin seemed to be okay, she drank the last drop of fish soup without wasting, and licked her lips, as if she was still full and not full.

And Zhong Liqing also noticed that the other party's cultivation was much higher than hers.

Sure enough, this is a more friendly and tolerant world to the monster race.

...Suddenly I feel a little jealous.

Rubbing her stomach, Zhong Liqing, who was trying to activate her spiritual power and opened her storage bag to find body protection equipment, thought angrily.

The author has something to say: I was hungry while I was writing, so I stopped typing on the keyboard and silently went to the refrigerator to look for food. Brain made up a R18 fanbook, Baby Yuyao, my mother-in-law is sorry for you_(:зゝ∠)_

Although I don't like grilled fish, I like grilled chicken, roasted duck, roasted squid, grilled lamb chops, grilled enoki mushrooms, grilled rice cakes, and grilled cold noodles... I don't want to code, any more words are masochistic QVQ
