Between mountains and seas

Chapter 112 Danger at Sea

There is a fragrance in the pan forest.

The suspected tuna that Huo Qing caught had more meat and less spines, and it was rich in fish oil!

Shao Jingxing sliced ​​the meat on both sides of his body into thin slices and spread it out on an iron plate for frying - the iron plate was of course provided by Huo Qing - the fish was sizzling with oil and turned golden.Pinch a pinch of snow-white salt and sprinkle it evenly, and the salt quickly melts into the fish oil, bursting into tiny oily flowers.

Of course, the remaining fish bones were thrown into the pot to cook the soup—oh, the pot was provided by Huo Qing, of course—and a few small shrimps and shellfish were also thrown in.The soup is not thick, and the color is only slightly white, but when the lid is lifted, the delicious fragrance can make people stumble!

"Wow, what kind of fish are these, why are they so fresh!" Shao Jingxing admired while nibbling on a crab claw.

It has to be said that Huo Qing is really smart. Shao Jingxing used a tool to dismantle a crab, and he learned it just by looking at it. Right now, he is pinching the claws for Shao Jingxing.

Huo Qing picked up the crab claws much more nimbly than Shao Jingxing. His two fingers were covered with a layer of metal armor. With a light pinch, the hard crab claws split from it, and the snow-white meat came out with a light pull. It's easier than eating a chicken leg.

"There are too many creatures in the sea." Huo Qing really didn't know what kind of fish it was.At the beginning, Dayu's control of the water was only to control the water on the land, so he knew a lot about the strange beasts on the land. As for the vast sea, even Dayu did not have the power to explore, so there are only a few strange beasts in the records. That's all.

"It doesn't matter." Shao Jingxing was very thoughtful, "We can add it. For example, this kind of fish looks a bit like a tuna, but it is small in size and has evolved a venom attack. We can name it the small poisonous marlin."

"There are still these shellfish." Shao Jingxing looked at the pile of shells with a little regret, "It would be great if there were garlic and vermicelli, I can make garlic roasted shellfish for you. Mince the garlic and fry it with oil, then put it in the shells Roast it in the oven, wow, that taste..."

Huo Qing's saliva began to salivate actively because of what he said: "It's very rich now." Fried fish steaks, fish and shrimp shell soup, grilled crabs and grilled prawns are enough for a banquet.

Shao Jingxing thought for a while, he couldn't eat all the good things at once, otherwise he would not be able to savor them carefully if he piled them together, and he might get tired of them: "Well, there will be opportunities in the future." The world of mountains and seas should be able to Find plants like onions, garlic, etc. It doesn't matter even if they are mutated, as long as the taste is the same, no matter how toxic they are, they can't withstand his fire!

Chef Shao then waved his hand boldly: "I'll make it for you next time. Drink the soup and drink the soup! The grilled shrimp is almost done, let's eat it first, and put the shellfish on it to roast later."

Huo Qing was a little speechless: "It's enough to eat, you can save some powers."

It's a little inconvenient here at Fanlin - there's no firewood.They are not willing to cut down the trees that have finally grown up. What if they cut down too much and Fanlin falls apart?Then they will have to go to sea to keep company with fish and shrimp.Therefore, it all depends on Shao Jingxing's fire.

Shao Jingxing's fire is very easy to use, it can be big if it needs to be big, and it can be small if it needs to be small, it is more manageable than a gas stove.The problem is, it is a consumable, and it takes time to recover after the ability is used up, not the natural gas that comes when the valve is opened.

"You can take it with you if you can't eat it." Shao Jingxing had his own reasons, "We can't stay on this Fanlin forever, can we? And it's hard to say what will happen next. It's so quiet now, of course we should be more prepared For food, maybe something happens suddenly later, so we won’t have time to cook for us.”

Huo Qing felt that what he said made sense.

Seafood is not easy to store, or it should be baked and dried.When the time comes, put it in your backpack, take out a piece of dried fish or oyster while walking and chew it...

Huo Qing forced himself to stop imagining.If this continues, he will be the same as Shao Jingxing.

"We have to think about the water first." The water they now use to cook the fish soup is collected from the leaves of the Panforest.There is plenty of mist at sea, but it takes a lot of work to collect this little bit, and if it doesn't rain, the water will be a big problem.

If these fishes and shrimps didn't mutate, they could eat them raw to replenish water, but the problem was that the things in the world of mountains and seas had to be cooked.

"Also..." Shao Jingxing scratched his head and thought for a while, "If only I could burn off the harmful ingredients and keep the moisture..."

"This can be used as a direction of effort." Huo Qing didn't laugh at his whimsical thinking, "If you can accurately distinguish which ones are mutant abilities, then use your ability to accurately kill them."

When Shao Jingxing heard this, he wanted to retreat: "It's so difficult..." How could it be possible to distinguish clearly.

Huo Qing glanced at him: "There is nothing difficult in the world..."

"This was made up by the predecessors to encourage future generations." Shao Jingxing said straightforwardly, "Mencius has already said that if you rely on Mount Tai to surpass the North Sea, you have to do it, or you can't." If there are no difficulties in the world, why doesn't Mencius Go do it?

Huo Qing was dumbfounded by him: "At this time, you just quote the scriptures." Normally, if you asked him about "Mencius", he would definitely know nothing about it. Now that he was going to debate, he would immediately remember it.

Shao Jingxing chuckled, and was about to quibble, when Huo Qing said seriously: "Your supernatural ability is so special, it's not as difficult for you to rely on Mount Tai to surpass Beihai. And as a person with supernatural abilities, it may not be impossible to rely on Mount Tai With Chao Beihai, at least Pangu in the past, Nuwa in the future, and even the Giant Spirit family all have this ability."

Now it was Shao Jingxing's turn to have nothing to say.But no, ordinary people can't, but supernatural beings can.So, there is really nothing difficult in this world, it just depends on who does it.

Despondently putting away the dried fish, Shao Jingxing picked up a live mussel: "Let me try it..." So, why did he say that he was stingy just now.But Huo Qing had such high hopes for him, he must work hard.

After the mussels were fished out, Shao Jingxing really didn't really study how they mutated - anyway, if they were burned, they would be eaten in the end.But now that we want to study how to selectively burn, of course we must first understand what abilities they mutate.

The mussels look like ordinary mussels, with two black shells, and the ends are fixed to the root of the tree with silk. Only the deep lines on the shell indicate that it has grown in this sea for many years.

Shao Jingxing used a knife to pry open the mussel shells, the meat inside looked no different from ordinary mussels, except that they were extra plump, and looked very fresh and delicious.

After casually fiddled with the shellfish, Shao Jing couldn't help but think of what he saw just now under the tree roots—clumps of mussels and oysters clinging to the tree roots. Obviously, no one had ever caught them before. Can catch a handful of shellfish, even the water is blackened by their black shells, and you can't even see what's under the water...

While thinking, Shao Jingxing stretched out his hand to go deeper, he seemed to see there, there seemed to be a colorful flash in the shell of a large oyster—could it be a pearl?

It would be great if he could get a few pearls from the world of mountains and seas, he is so poor now... Before Shao Jingxing finished thinking, he felt a chill on his wrist, and a tentacle wrapped him around him. Before he could react, he was pulled One fell into the water.

what happened!Shao Jingxing held his breath subconsciously, and was about to release flames to burn the tentacles with suckers.However—no matter how hard he tried, the flames disappeared in a flash, which was completely different from his performance in the Snake Hook Pool last time!

Shao Jingxing gradually felt unable to hold his breath, and his eyes began to darken.And in the dark sea water below, a huge head gradually appeared—no, the head is not very accurate, it should be an oval body, but there are two huge eyes on it, and a parrot Such a mouth - it's an octopus!

Connected to the bottom of the body, there were several other tentacles of the same kind, all of which emerged from the sea water, and surrounded Shao Jingxing in a sinister manner.

These tentacles tightly cling to his body with suction cups, wrapping tightly like a giant python, and then wrapping tightly, it seems that they want to squeeze out the last bit of air in his lungs...

With a bang, Shao Jingxing's face hurt, and the huge octopus in front of him suddenly disappeared, and air rushed into his lungs, causing him to cough violently.

"What's wrong with you?" Huo Qing's voice hurriedly rang in his ears.He was slicing fish just now, and when he realized that Shao Jingxing hadn't spoken for a long time and turned his head to look, he found that Shao Jingxing's face was flushed from holding back, and his eyes were fixed on the mussels in his hand, as if he was about to suffocate himself. died!

Shao Jingxing coughed and breathed in the air desperately, and it took him a long time before he could barely speak: "I, I, cough cough, why did I..." He also discovered now that there was no huge octopus. He hadn't been pulled into the water by anything at all, because his body was dry, his clothes and hair were not wet at all except for a little dampness due to the fog!

"You're in a daze, almost suffocating yourself!" Huo Qing was also afraid for a while.Fortunately, he felt that Shao Jingxing had been silent for a long time, so he turned his head to look, otherwise Shao Jingxing might really suffocate to death!

"I thought I was dragged into the water by a giant octopus—" Shao Jingxing was halfway through speaking, and suddenly discovered the flaw here—the roots of Fanlin's trees are very densely packed, otherwise they would not be able to float on the water, even a particularly large one Even the oysters in the tree can't pass through, and they have to be broken into several pieces to be taken up. How could he be pulled into the water through the gaps in these tree roots as a living person?

"What were you doing just now?" Huo Qing understood immediately after hearing him say this, "You have been hit by an illusion!"

"Illusion?" Shao Jingxing looked down at the split mussel in his hand, and saw the charming pearl inside the two shells at a glance.

Although mussels do not produce pearls, the inner layer of the shell also has nacre, but the color is mostly grayish white or grayish black, and it does not have the charming luster of pearls.However, the inside of the mussel that Shao Jingxing held in his hand reflected a beautiful golden-green color under the light of the fire, and when it was turned a little, the color would change accordingly, which made people dazzled.

"Ah Xing!" Seeing that Shao Jingxing's eyes were a little straight again, Huo Qing quickly shook his shoulders vigorously, "Don't look!" It's about these mussels!

Shao Jingxing was dazed, and quickly looked away: "This, this is the supernatural power evolved by these mussels? This, this is hypnosis?" It's just a shell, so powerful?

"This is an illusion." Huo Qing squeezed the shells in his hand, and picked up another one casually.He didn't work as hard as Shao Jingxing, who crushed the thickest mussel shells with a pinch of two fingers. Sure enough, the inside of the fragments also shone with a beautiful golden-green color, but after being turned into fragments, the intoxicating pearl light seemed to be weak Quite a few, not so attractive to the eye anymore.

"Illusion?" Shao Jingxing looked at the pile of mussels and felt a bit afraid.He also made so much money!If everyone used illusion, would he and Huo Qing die a hundred times?

"It's okay." Huo Qing was also a little scared, "It seems that these shellfish use nacre to confuse creatures, but they can't use their abilities without opening their shells."

These shellfish hunt underwater, and they have evolved this enchantment ability, which can lure passing small fish, shrimps, or other creatures to swim into their open shells, and then they are like fly catchers Grass closes the shells and eats these creatures.

Because shellfish will open their shells underwater, their abilities are concentrated on the inside of the shell, so that they can better protect their nacre from unnecessary loss-after all, this nacre is not casual can be formed.

However, after shellfish leave the water, they will instinctively close their shells tightly, and naturally the nacre will not be exposed.It was also this habit that made Shao Jingxing not notice the strangeness of these shells at first, but also avoided being attacked by "groups" without knowing it.

Shao Jingxing patted his chest straight: "Oh my god, luckily they only have nacre on the inside of the shell!"

"If it's outside, it's easy to be discovered." Huo Qing has calmed down, "If their powers are ejected from the body like a mirage, it will be dangerous." It's a move.

"Oh, just the mirage, right?" Shao Jingxing was rather curious, "Is the mirage seen by the sea really the gas exhaled by the mirage?"

Huo Qing glanced at him, his eyes seemed to say, "You are not foolish": "Of course not. Or it won't be the case after the world of mountains and seas is separated."

Shao Jingxing was not convinced: "The ocean is so big, maybe some will slip through the net. Besides, there might be some that evolved later." Mirage, isn't it just a big shell, which is the current type of giant clam. There are not many in the ocean.

Huo Qing stroked his dog's head, as if he was mentally retarded: "Mirage itself is extremely rare. 90.00% of the so-called mirages are natural phenomena. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for mirages to appear in ordinary oceans. When the two worlds are separated, mountains and seas The concentration of power is not enough to evolve a mirage."

Shao Jingxing was patted on the head by him, and the rebuttal that came to his lips was forgotten, and he took advantage of the situation and said casually: "If I can find a mirage, how many days will the meat be enough..."

Huo Qing felt Shao Jingxing's hair softly brushing against his palm, as if a small hand was gently scratching his heart, and for a moment he forgot what he wanted to say, and followed Shao Jingxing in nonsense: "It must be edible. It’s been a few days. It’s just that the meat may be a little older and harder to chew.”

Shao Jingxing said very tactfully: "That's okay. If you stir-fry, the heat will be fine. Besides, you can also cook soup, such as creamy clam soup, and I will do it too." He doesn't stick to Chinese or Western food. If you find it delicious, you will learn it.

"There's no butter here." Huo Qing was completely driven away by him.Mineral seasonings such as salt are better, while oil and vinegar, which are made from plants, have a much shorter shelf life. Animal products such as butter and butter will deteriorate faster when they enter the world of mountains and seas, and they may even mutate. what come.

"You can make it now!" Shao Jingxing fell into a foodie mode, "Just find a cow!"

Niu... Huo Qing really thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized that his thinking had gone astray.

Are there cows in the world of mountains and seas?some.But milk?

Ha ha……

Let's take a look at the "cows" in the world of mountains and seas.

Si, like a buffalo, blue in color, with one horn, weighing a thousand catties.The strength of this thing's corner is not inferior to Pihanxi.

Millennium Wood Essence, shaped like a green bull.But this thing is actually the manifestation of the power of wood that some trees mutate, tangible and intangible, visible but intangible.

The arms are like oxen with four horns, human eyes and pig ears, sounds like geese, and cannibals.If you want to be milked, people still want to eat you.

Like Zhu Huai, the cannibal Xiqu also looks like a cow. It eats people and produces poop.

Ao Yin, like a cow with white body and four horns, hair like a cape, has the same temperament as above.

Finally, there is the most famous bull-like beast - Fei.This thing looks like a cow, but it carries countless diseases on its body, and when you see it, it will be a "big disease in the world", it is simply a living biological weapon.Even if it has milk, would you dare to drink it?

After thinking about it in his head, Huo Qing felt that his behavior of thinking about where to find a cow just now was really... Shao Jingxing led him to the wrong!

He was planning to educate Shao Jingxing not to just think about eating when suddenly the ground under his feet shook violently, almost throwing Shao Jingxing who was explaining how to make butter into the fire.Fortunately, Huo Qing reacted quickly and forcibly pulled him back.

"What's wrong!" Shao Jingxing was startled.

"No—" just as Huo Qing said a word, he heard a bang coming from the front. The sea water surged up rapidly, forming a small mountain on the sea surface, and then the mountain of water split open again, and a large amount of water poured out. It hit the sea with a thunderous bang, and in the middle of the mountain, a huge crab claw appeared!
