Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 92: Oyster Ribs Casserole
The battle that followed was really lackluster.
After cutting off the indescribable organs, even if the leader sea otter can turn his body into a hardness close to that of metal rocks, this can't stop the continuous flow of blood, and it is obvious that it has completely lost its fighting ability.
Then again, who else could?
After Ian's condescending slash, he didn't want to fight. He dived into the bottom of the sea with a forward pounce, and returned to the coast smoothly amidst the panicked screams of the sea otters.
Actually, this is the most dangerous part, because Ian is just an apprentice sublimator who has not yet reached the first energy level. He faced two other monster-level sea otters head-on in the sea. Said it was horrible.
But beasts are beasts after all. After seeing the leader howl and being severely injured at the moment of fighting, the first reaction of the two monster sea otters was to turn around and run away with their respective beasts!
If it encounters other monsters robbing the territory, or encounters a giant predator such as the iron shark, the sea otter group may fight to the death with the attackers, but the speed at which Ian turned around and disappeared is really amazing It was so quick and direct that they didn't even realize where the attacker was now.
The unknown is the greatest horror, especially the injuries suffered by the leader are the most terrifying of all horrors. In order to avoid the same ending for themselves, they, who are a little smart but not particularly smart, naturally run first.
Of course, Ian also knows another reason.
The Labyrinth Reefs in the Illusion Realm is a huge coastal ecosystem inhabited by various monster communities. Even the natives are usually reluctant to approach it, calling it the "Sea of No Return".
He was injured and bleeding here, and screamed miserably, but the result was not that simple.
Shaking his head and shaking out the sea water, Ian could already hear the faint neighing of other monsters, as well as the abnormal turbulence in the sea not far away.
In the vision of foresight, it was only for an instant. Originally, there was only a layer of light blood lingering on his body, and he might not die.
The sea otter colony that lost their leader must retreat—their enemies are not only Ian, but also a large number of other reef monsters.
But how could Ian give up his potion materials?
Therefore, while the opponent was still struggling, causing the scarlet blood to spread in the sea, the boy who had retrieved his short spear from the shore began to aim at his target and started throwing one after another.
In normal times, this kind of roughness is just a sharpened wooden gun, no matter how powerful the impact is, at most it will pierce through the leader's sea otter's skin, and I'm afraid blood won't come out. But now, with the leader's sea otter constantly losing blood , the body became weak, and the solid 'body of pure rock' could not be maintained for a long time, and the weakness of the wound on its back became more and more obvious.
Just when Ian threw the thirteenth wooden gun, Fury struggled to fight back, but was stabbed in the vitals, and the leader Sea Otter declared his death.
After a week of observation, preparation and waiting, it is finally time to harvest.
"This is the crystal bone?"
Ian's action was quick, he immediately entered the sea, dragged the leader sea otter's body back to the shore, and then separated and cut it.
The chief sea otter weighs more than 200 kilograms. The reason why it can float on the sea is that it stores a large amount of hydrogen separated from the activities of metal-based cells in its body—reef-eating sea otters can decompose water into oxygen and oxygen through cell electrolysis. Hydrogen, so it can often dive for food, gnaw on coral reefs, and keep itself afloat.
After the sea otter died, the hydrogen in the airbag would not leak for a short time, so Ian began to deal with it.
Warcraft, especially low-level monsters of the first and second energy levels, cannot all be sublimated materials. Generally speaking, the monsters of the first energy level only have at most one or two parts of potion materials, and a part of flesh and blood that contains a lot of source quality.
For a giant sea otter more than two meters tall, leaving aside the inedible parts and internal organs that contain a large amount of heavy metal toxins, there may be thirty or forty pounds of meat left, as well as key sublimation materials.
Ian had already done his homework. He skillfully cut the fur of the prey from the back along the wound of the spear, and controlled the knife with steady and dexterous hands to cut and quickly find his target at the spine.
It was a spine shining with pale silver light, showing the characteristics of a metal lattice.
It is only a short section, but it has a tendency to spread. Perhaps in the future, when the entire spine and even the whole body bones become such crystal bones, it can become a second-level reef-eating sea otter.
This lattice spine can gradually transform the reef-eating sea otter into a metal-based life. It can obtain hydrogen and oxygen by decomposing water, and absorb metal to strengthen itself.
In terms of attributes, it is a monster of the second series of water and soil. When used in potions, it can give people a body similar to a clean rock and the ability to manipulate and split water.
But now, Ian easily separated the magical metal spine, picked out a piece of rib bone at random, threw the rest of the body to the shore, and quickly retreated towards Harrison Port.
——The voices of other monsters in the reef are very close, and I have already taken the best part, and I will leave the rest to those who come to pick up the leaks.
Otherwise, when a group of monsters catch up, the loss outweighs the gain.
"Little Ian, how is your harvest today?"
When we returned to Port Harrison, the residents and city guards we met along the way smiled and greeted this little but kind psyker: "If you pick up another big snail, can you sell me a piece? "
Because of the shape and stretching characteristics of conch meat, coastal fishermen have always believed that it has a stimulating effect in that respect, and it is very popular in the market, and it has always been priced but not marketed.
"The harvest is good, next time will be sure!"
Ian's identity as a psyker is now not only unknown, but it can also be said that everyone knows it, especially the hero of the aboriginal siege battle. The young city guard Scott has repeatedly reiterated that if it is not Ian repaired the alchemy cannon, everything was a lie.
Now, almost everyone in Harrison Port knows that Ian of Bai Zhimin is an extremely intelligent genius who has mastered rough inscription skills and psychic abilities at the age of nine.
And this genius is also very approachable, no matter who can say a few words, it makes people feel comfortable.
Actually, Ian didn't do anything, he just responded when others greeted him, listened carefully when others spoke, and showed a very interested look.
What's more, he was really interested in it.
At this moment, Ian brought home his usual small bucket of seafood. In theory, the city guards would check no matter what it was, but who would really be so free? With Ian's obedient greeting, the guards guarding the gate easily let them go.
And just like that, he brought home the crystal bone and sea otter steak covered in the bottom of the bucket.
Opening the door, Ian planned to process the ingredients of the potion, and then clean up the sea otter meat, and cook some delicious food for celebration in the evening.
"Well, what's the matter?"
But he heard a strange movement in his brother Elan's room, so he put down the bucket in his hand and opened the door to check the situation.
There was nothing special about it, it was just that Elan woke up after noticing someone entering the door.
"Brother, brother"
After seeing Ian, the young boy with white hair and purple eyes was still a little dazed, but he showed obvious joy.
He waved his little hand, gestured at the smiling Ian, and yelled.
"Looks like I'm hungry."
Ian stretched out his hand and pinched Elan's little face, and when he heard the other party giggling, his already pretty good mood became even happier: "It's so smooth, don't you just remember to eat?"
"Eat!" Elan's voice was firm this time.
Ian laughed and went back to prepare the ingredients.
I have to say that the Concentration Grass given by Viscount Grant is very effective. After two courses of treatment, Elan, who was originally dazed, seemed much more agile in terms of thinking and expression compared to the beginning.
Although the two-year-old Elan can only speak a few simple words because of no one to teach him before and sleep powder, it is difficult to speak a whole long sentence, but this is not a solution, at least in the current situation Better than being stupid.
Let’s wait for the future to talk about the future, take care of it slowly, and it will always return to normal.
Today Ian is going to make oyster ribs stew—he originally wanted to make a hot pot, but because he couldn't find any hot sauce like chili, he couldn't force himself.
It can’t be all spicy hot pot, mandarin duck hot pot is the limit, even seafood mushroom hot pot is not good!
Oysters, oysters, this thing is really cheap for the people of Harrison Port who haven't fully developed it yet.
He can pick a lot of them by going around the coastal reefs, and they are all high-quality products. On the contrary, the sea otter ribs need to be dealt with.
The rib meat of the reef-eating sea otter is firm and tender, with a lot of source material, which is quite different from the limb muscles that have begun to metallize, and belongs to the category that ordinary humans can also eat.
It looks light blue with the vision of predicting, even if it is just ordinary salt and charcoal grilling, it tastes absolutely delicious, and Ian plans to use Bison rock salt, shrimp paste and fish sauce, which are a specialty of Port Harrison, to make it taste delicious. Marinate for a period of time, and finally add the rhizome juice of Xingshencao to remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma, and heat the water while marinating it.
Obviously, there is no casserole in Port Harrison, but there is a similar alchemy crucible, which Ian usually uses for separation experiments. Alchemy method separates and purifies the refined salt, boils and switches off the fire, puts the processed oysters in and soaks them for one minute before taking them out.
After handling the pot, fry the marinated spareribs with its own fat, put them in a crucible to heat them when they are five mature, and pour a spoonful of lard on them.
Ian has long put a layer of Nanling's unique yellow berries on the bottom of the pot, a kind of sour and spicy fruit similar to plums. It is very refreshing to eat alone, and the mouth will be particularly astringent, but if Add oil and stew together, but the taste is surprisingly good, almost like garlic and onion.
Oil, berries, and the flavors of sea otter ribs themselves fused in the cauldron, and a peculiar aroma lingered in the house, while Ian put the oysters that had been processed before on top of the tumbling gravy and ribs, and covered them Cover the pot and wait.
Grilled gravy, fat and sauces are tumbling in the pot.
Every ten minutes, Ian will add some salt water into it, and every time he lifts the lid, there will be a strong aroma. Unfamiliar and exciting, the appetizing incense pot has taken shape.
When Hilliard just came to the corner of the street and was still a certain distance from home, he smelled the fragrance.
"He really didn't lie to me back then."
The old knight's expression was subtle: "Are psykers really so magical? Or is there someone who is born to cook? This taste really makes you a chef."
"Forget it."
Stopped and thought for a while, Hilliard shook his head: "Anyway, it's a good thing, and cooking skills don't need to be as clear as I think."
With a happy mood, he opened the door.
"I'm back."
