A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

"Take a bite."

"No, no, no..."

"Take a bite, you are so hungry."

"No, no, that's a mouse!"

"Everyone has said it's a giant rat, but it's not a rat anyway."

"Don't be fooled, it's just an excuse. Malusil, you have to be strong in your heart."

The long-eared mixed-blood elf was at war with herself, and because she was too focused, her whole face looked stupid.

In front of them, there was a scene of Leos and the others feasting.

In my ears, there is "bah la bah la", the unique sound of meat slices sticking to the iron plate.

The fragrance seemed to be alive, and it penetrated into the nose desperately.

Malusiel's willpower is getting weaker and weaker...

Even she herself didn't notice that while she was extremely resisting in her heart, her body was moving in the direction of the iron plate.

"I don't need it," she said.

"I really don't need it," she repeated again.

"I do not need."

"I do not need."

"I do not need……"

"I need to!"

At a certain moment, the persistence in my heart suddenly collapsed.

Before she could react, Malusiel had a dinner plate and a few sizzling iron rat slices in her hand, exuding a rich aroma of wine.

Those pink and tender little cuties are lying on the plate, quietly waiting for her to enjoy.

"Eat it, Malusil." Laos gave the elf lady a thumbs up: "It's delicious."

Chilchak also gave a thumbs up.

Sensi nodded to Malusil: "Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold. Elf girl, you are so thin, it doesn't matter if you eat more."

Malusiel remained silent.

Then, her eyes fell on Jon who didn't speak.

Jon blinked and smiled meaningfully.

Miscellaneous fish, miscellaneous fish, elves and so on are all miscellaneous fish!

Although she didn't speak, similar auditory hallucinations sounded in Malusiel's ears.

She gritted her teeth.

I don't know if I'm angry or greedy.

The food in front of her was really tempting. Malusiel swallowed her saliva and shouted, "I don't care anymore."

After saying that, he stuffed the rat piece into his mouth as if he was giving up on himself.

In an instant, the aroma of fresh meat explodes on the tip of the tongue.

Malusil, who had not had a full meal for a long time, felt satisfied.

But then, she clenched her fists and shouted, "Damn it, why is it so delicious? It's obviously just a rat, it's obviously just a rat!"

As if turning on some kind of depraved switch, Malusiel ate one piece after another, her mouth full of oil.

In the end, the four rats didn't even have enough to eat...

"Thank you for the hospitality." Leos and Chilchak clasped their hands and thanked Jon and Sensi from the bottom of their hearts.

Jon spread his hands and said nothing.

Sensi said: "Leos, you are going underground, right? By coincidence, I am also going underground to deal with some things. Since we all have the same destination, how about forming a team temporarily?"

"Okay, okay, of course!" Hearing this, Leos was overjoyed.

Apart from anything else, his superb cooking skills alone were enough for him to accept Sensi into the team.

And he discovered that Jojo and Sensi can have some wonderful chemical reactions together.

Thinking of the unique monsters in the underground maze, Leos, who had just eaten eighty percent full, began to drool again.

Chilchak looked at the unreliable captain with disdain: "I said, we are not here for an outing. You haven't forgotten to save Faline, Leos."

"Ah? Oh... Of course, of course I haven't forgotten it." Laos said with a guilty conscience: "The red dragon, I remember it."

Chilchak: (ー_ー)!!

After clearing away the dishes and putting the pots back on their backs, the group of five people officially set off.

On the way to the second underground level, they also killed several slimes.

Generally speaking, slimes have absolute resistance to blunt and sharp weapons, but Sensi didn't know what method he used to kill the slimes with a knife.

"At first glance, slime has no fixed shape. In fact, its internal structure is relatively simple. If we use a human analogy, it is almost like turning the stomach inside out and wrapping the internal organs and brain with digestive juices."

"Slime cannot be eaten, or it cannot be eaten directly. It must be specially processed. It is washed with citrus juice, the water is rubbed out with salt, and dried under high temperature."

"About two weeks is the best time to eat it."

Sensi patiently spreads the knowledge about slime.

He carries a slime drying net with him. He uses two bamboo-like nets to clamp the slime and dry it while moving it.

Laos's eyes shone as he looked at it and murmured to himself: "Is he really a genius?"

Malusil pinched her temples helplessly: "No matter what, let's leave quickly."

She remembered when she first arrived in the underground maze. The first death was due to slime.

It's worth mentioning that there is no real death in the maze. After the body dies, the soul will float near the body and can be resurrected successfully by using resurrection spells.

…

…

The second underground floor is completely different from the first underground floor.

It's clearly underground, but there's a dense forest growing there.

According to scholars, the second underground floor is the raised part of the Golden Kingdom's spire, and the overly tall trees are the result of spatial distortion.

There were many suspended bridges connecting the trees. It was very difficult for Malusiel to walk. After all, she was not good at skills and she was reckless. By accident, her shoes got stuck in the gaps on the bridges.

"Ouch!" Malusiel howled.

Laos hurried over to help: "Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's okay." Malusiel's face turned slightly red.

Leos took a look at the sky and said, "We've reached the second underground floor as well. Let's stay here today and find a place to spend the night. We'll set off again tomorrow."

"But Faline..." Malusiel wanted to say something.

But when he met Leos's eyes, he had no choice but to nod: "I understand, I will take a good rest."

Sensi: "Very good. In this case, let's quickly determine the tree hole where we will spend the night. Also, prepare some food for tomorrow."

Malusil opened her mouth: "Didn't we just eat it?"

Sensi: "Little elf girl, count the time, it was already 5 hours ago. We have heavy loads, and the road here is so difficult, we have to eat every 6 hours to ensure sufficient strength. "

"But..." Malusil looked embarrassed, "I still plan to eat monsters."

"Otherwise?" Jon asked, "We didn't bring any food with us. Unless you say you can survive by drinking tree sap, you don't have to go to great lengths to capture monsters."

"How is that possible? I'm not a hornet." Malusiel rolled her eyes.

She had finally forgotten about the iron rat film, and now that she mentioned it, she felt a little uncomfortable...

Again, reason is reason, instinct is instinct.

Chirchak shrugged: "Anything is fine, as long as you have a stutter. By the way, are there any monsters around here?"

"Wait a minute." Leos waved his hand, and then took out a book full of bookmarks from the lining of the armor: "This book says that in addition to the giant rats we have eaten before, there are also giant bats here. And Goblins."

"Wait a minute, rats and other things will eat it, but goblins... in short, this kind of humanoid monster is definitely not allowed!" Malusiel looked resistant, even a little scared.

Leos: "What about the wandering knight's armor?"

Malusiel: "Metals can't be eaten, right? Isn't there something more common? Like birds, hares, tree fruits, etc."

"I'm telling you, Maluciel, you don't participate in hunting at all, but you keep dictating what you eat. This is very rude." Leos frowned.

Chilchak also nodded, "Indeed, I can say anything, but after giving a few examples, I can't help but refute."

Jon: "My family, who knows? I met the elf below."

Maluciel:? ? ?

She stopped talking, and her face was as bulging as a bun.

Leos sighed: "Besides, even if there are birds and beasts that look like normal food, you must have professional skills to hunt them. Ducks won't be caught carrying green onions on their backs, right?"

Hearing this, Jon said abruptly, "That's not necessarily true. I know a kind of duck that is almost extinct because of the ingredients it carries with it."

What a stupid duck.

A big question mark appeared above everyone's heads.

However, he didn't care.

Morisei looked around and said to Maluciel: "It's hard to say anything else. If it's tree fruit, it should be there this season."

"What! Really?" Maruhil suddenly became energetic.

Sensi gave Malusiel a thumbs up: "Look at me."

five minutes later--

The group came to many strange plants.

Maluciel broke her guard, "Isn't this still a monster! Man-eating plant! It must be a man-eating plant! Don't think I don't recognize it!"

"Pan-eating plant? That's a common name. For example, the plant in front of you. The real name of this plant is Selian rose. It secretes mucus and spreads around like spider silk. When the surrounding environment changes, it will It attacks like a conditioned reflex. Although it won't stuff the prey into its mouth, it will kill passing mice and use them as fertilizer." Lines said seriously: "This kind of good boy among plants has no intention of targeting people or killing animals. Will go out of his way to eat people.”

Malusiel couldn't help but retort: ​​"But it still treats us as nutrients for the soil, and has nothing to do with good children or anything like that!"

"Don't worry about those details." Laos waved his hand, then turned to look at Sensi: "About the fruit you mentioned."

"Look, right there, those yellow things don't look too ripe, but they are barely edible." Sensi pointed in a certain direction.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Laos unsheathed his sword.

Malusil seemed to have thought of something, and sighed and said: "Okay, okay, get out of the way and let me pick all these fruits."

She raised her wand and began to chant her magic.

Then - he was interrupted mercilessly by Sensi.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" the silly elf made a little black voice.

At this moment, a vine beneath her feet suddenly moved.

Maluciel lost her center of gravity for a moment and was hung upside down like a sandbag.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Malusiel screamed wildly.

"Respect nature and only take the portion you want to eat. This is the iron rule of cooking." Senxi clasped his hands together with a pious look on his face.

"Is this a time for preaching?" Malusiel did not forget to complain.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a strange movement inside her clothes.

Malusil's face turned pale, then turned red again: "Hey! Hey! Everyone! It seems like there are some tentacles stretching out in my clothes. Leos, Chirchak, please save me! Come on! "Qiaoqiao, don't just watch, use your invincible swordsmanship to think of a solution!"

"Really Nobita, I really can't do anything to you." Jon put his hand on the handle of the knife.

With two swish of swords, an X-shaped sword energy was produced.

All the vine tentacles that trapped Maluciel were broken.

Maluciel said "Oops" and fell heavily to the ground.

Along with her screams, there was an undigested corpse that was spit out by the man-eating plant.

Maluciel: Ugh!

Leos identified it and showed a nervous expression: "Don't move, Malusil, the plant that tied you just now seems to be the type that can parasitize seeds under the skin."

Hearing this, Malusil roared again: "No, no, no, no, no, no!"

Fortunately, because the time was too short, the seeds did not have time to become parasitic. Malusil touched her smooth belly and exhaled for a long time: "It's so good -"

Sensi picked up the vines that were cut off by Jon: "Yeah, it's true. This plant is called Shadow Tail. It is a predatory plant that can parasitic seeds under the skin of prey. Compared with the Silia Rose just now. , this kind of plant will not let the prey escape, nor can it kill the prey directly, but it will use a moderate force... a delicate balance of almost being unable to move, but not uncomfortable, to slowly kill the prey. "

"It's really great, Malusiel. Most people won't have this kind of experience." Laos asked curiously: "How do you feel? Are you comfortable?"

Malusil stared at Laos speechlessly, as if he were an idiot, without saying a word.

Laos scratched his head: "Eh? Are you angry?"

Maluciel chuckled.

…

…

Place the undigested body on the roadside, waiting for the professional body keeper.

A group of people began to pick fruit from the tree.

"Sometimes you are really mentally ill." Chirchak sighed: "It's no wonder Malusiel is angry."

Laos scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "Okay, okay, let's pick the fruit of Shadow Tail first."

"Not only Shadow Tail, there are also fruits from other plants around, so pick them carefully." Sensi instructed.

After a while of busy work, several people brought the fruits of man-eating plants to an empty tree hole. Because it is close to the surface, there are simple chairs and beds in the tree hole, which is a place specially provided for adventurers to rest.

Sensi: "Please process these fruits before going to bed. Qiaoqiao, do you have any good ideas?"

Jon didn't answer, but asked: "What about you, Sensi, do you have anything you want to cook?"

Sensi: "I will steam these fruits first, then take out the seeds, peel off the skin and stick them in a pot, and mash the pulp to make jam tarts. The flavors of the Shadow Tail fruits and the Seliya Rose fruits can complement each other, I think , this is a good choice.”

"Indeed, but if it were me..." Jon touched his smooth chin: "Anyway, let's make a pot of jam tarts according to your idea first, and leave about 1/3 of the fruit for me. I have other uses. "
