A Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Flying Hoof Beast...

More powerful than expected!

Laos swung his sword vigorously, but he couldn't hit the agile pony at all.

Even he, a warrior, was helpless, not to mention Malusil who needed to chant to cast spells.

The silly elf ran away with his head in his hands: "I say Laos, isn't this guy's fighting power a bit outrageous?"

Laos: "Don't ask me! I'm busy here, Malusil, use your magic to think of a solution."

Malusil looked embarrassed: "Even if you say so..."

Take a deep breath.

Her eyes were stern, and she began to chant.

However, the flying hoof beast felt the danger behind it, and suddenly gave up fighting with Laos, stepped on its four legs, and flashed in front of Malusil.

'So fast! '

This was the only thought in Malusil's mind.

Then, she almost instinctively activated the magic that had not yet taken shape.

Whoosh——

The wind blade flashed.

The flying hoof beast dodged swiftly.

It turned its head, and its round eyes flashed with a playful look.

‘This guy actually looks down on me. ’

Malushil was ashamed and annoyed.

However, the next second.

The shame and annoyance turned into fear, and the flying hoof beast opened its mouth and bit her face!

“Wait…”

The subconscious plea for mercy did not make the flying hoof beast hesitate for half a second.

Laos was anxious: “Get out of the way, Malushil!”

Malushil was usually clumsy, and it was too much for her to avoid the bite of the flying hoof beast at this distance.

In an instant, many bad pictures flashed through the mind of the silly elf.

For example, disfigurement, disfigurement, for example… disfigurement.

“Duck!!!!”

At the critical moment, the sharp sword light flashed.

The latter arrived first.

It hit the flying hoof beast exactly.

The flying hoof beast’s smug expression froze on its face, and its whole body flew backwards unconsciously, and fell heavily with a bang.

Laos was stunned for only a second, then he reacted in time. While the flying hoof beast had not recovered yet, he took a step forward and stabbed the flying hoof beast's body with the sword in his hand.

Puff!

Blood splattered everywhere.

I don't know if it's a good thing for a fool, this blow accidentally pierced the heart of the flying hoof beast.

The pony-like monster struggled for a while, spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and soon stopped moving.

Laos breathed a sigh of relief.

Wiping the sweat from his head, he turned his head and happened to see Jon walking over with the "thunderstorm" on his shoulder not far away.

"It's really dangerous." Laos gave his companion a thumbs up: "Thanks for coming."

"Yes, it's dangerous enough, otherwise our team's beauty will be disfigured." Jon walked to Maruxiel while talking: "Are you okay, Maru Maru."

"Woo woo... It's okay... Thank you..." Even if she had many opinions about Jon before, after this incident, Maruxiel was left with gratitude.

A woman's face is equivalent to her life.

What if she gets disfigured?

She doesn't know how to live anymore.

In excitement, Maruthil hugged Jon's trouser legs.

As a result, she received a wave of disdain: "Don't rub your snot and tears on my pants, my clothes are very expensive."

Maruthil: ? ? ?

I almost got disfigured just now.

My heart is so fragile, how can you care about such a boring thing?

Maruthil's expression froze.

At this moment, Leos came over.

He smiled foolishly and touched Maruthil's head: "That's great, Leos."

"Leos——" Maruthil's eyes were full of tears.

"Take the flying hoof beast back later, and I will give you the most delicious part, so don't feel wronged anymore." Leos said gently: "If he wants to bite you, you bite him too, just as revenge."

Upon hearing this, Maruthil nodded heavily: "Okay!"

As soon as she said this, she felt something was wrong.

But he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

He was confused and looked a little stupid.

"By the way, flying hoof beasts are rare on the second underground floor." Jon didn't go to Marusil, but came to the body of the flying hoof beast.

Without thinking much, he chopped it down with a knife and bled the foal skillfully.

Marusil turned his head away, not liking such a bloody scene.

But Leos said worriedly: "Such a bloody smell will attract some monsters."

"Isn't that good?" Jon didn't even raise his head: "Save the time to hunt..."

Oh!

So that's it.

Leos pounded his hand, indicating that he understood it completely.

He recognized Jon's strength.

To be honest, he had never thought that the friend he met at the wine table would have such strength.

No wonder he could get along well on this island alone without a fixed team.

While talking, Jon's bleeding work was completed.

He used elemental magic to create a stream of water and simply cleaned the flying hoof beast.

"It seems... no monsters are attracted here." Laos lowered his voice.

Jon said with some regret: "Yeah."

After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head: "Forget it, since the smell of blood doesn't attract other monsters, I'll move on to the next step."

What happens after bleeding?

Of course, it's to cut open the belly and throw away the extra internal organs.

Jon held the knife in one hand and deliberately said to Malusiel: "The next scene is not suitable for children. Children must not watch it."

"Who is this kid? I'm already fifty years old!" Malusiel retorted without thinking.

But soon, she regretted it.

Although from the perspective of elves, fifty years old is completely the age of a girl, but from the perspective of humans...

Jon touched his smooth chin and looked back and forth between Laos and Malusil: "Maluciel at the funeral? It sounds very exciting."

Leos:? ? ?

Maluciel:? ? ?

I don’t understand what this guy is talking about at all, but I instinctively feel that it’s not a good thing.

After playing a joke, Jon stopped paying attention to the two of them.

Skilled in handling the carcass of the flying hoofed beast.

Clean and crisp.

The excess organs were buried with soil.

As for the skin and bones, they were all burned with fire.

Been busy for a while.

In the end, Jon successfully got at least fifty pounds of good meat.

If these fifty pounds of meat are properly preserved, there will be no need to hunt again in a few days.

"Leos, come and carry it." Jon ordered casually.

Leos happily complied.

Just fifty pounds.

As a senior soldier, he had no problem carrying it.

Malusiel looked hesitant.

I wanted to prove that I was not a bastard.

But accidentally, he held back the team again...

Alas~

She sighed.

"It's okay Maluchel, I always feel that your magic is an indispensable force for our team." Sometimes Laos is silly, and sometimes he is unexpectedly sharp. He showed a cheerful smile: "I am also very grateful to you and Chilchak for not leaving me when I needed support the most."

"Leos... I... I'm doing it for Faline." Maluchel had no ability to resist such a direct ball, and even the tips of her ears turned red: "Don't think too much..."

"Eh? Did I say something?" Laos scratched his head.

"No, no, I can prove it." Jon came over, "You didn't say anything, and you didn't provoke the heart of a fifty-year-old girl at all."

Maluciel:...

Girls will be girls, don't mention fifty years old, you bastard!

Return to the tree hole safely.

At a glance, Sensi saw the already-handled flying hoofed beast carried by Leos.

"This is it?" Chilchak also came up curiously: "Pony?"

"The flying hoofed beast." Laos said proudly, "Qiao Qiao killed it."

"It's not you who killed him, why are you so proud..." Three black lines appeared above Chilchak's head.

Senxi took the flying hoof beast and said with emotion: "I haven't seen the flying hoof beast on the second underground floor for many years. This guy must have been separated from the tribe, so..."

"Is it because I got separated from the tribe that I developed this skill?" Laos touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "No wonder he is so good."

"Anything is fine, I'm almost starving." Chirchak put his hands on the pillow: "Hurry up and bake it. To be honest, I'm a little curious about what the flying hoofed beast tastes like."

It’s different from monsters like slimes and mushroom monsters that just look like ‘monsters’. Judging from the appearance of the flying hoof beast, it is completely a stronger pony, at least rationally it is easy to accept it.

It's just horse meat, no big deal.

Senxi took out the knife he carried with him and began to cut the meat carefully.

The heart has the Tigers, fine sniffing the rose.

Despite his rugged appearance, he is really very delicate when it comes to cooking.

"It's rare to encounter special ingredients like flying hooves. It would be too wasteful to simply grill or make it into a teppanyaki." Senxi took out a lot of seasonings and carefully spread them on the evenly thin slices of meat.

Maruchelle felt a little bad: "Let me tell you first, I will never be able to eat raw meat sashimi or anything like that."

"Don't worry, Elf Girl. Although the Flying Hoof Beast is a relatively clean monster, it is inevitable that there will be some tiny parasites in its body that are difficult to observe with the naked eye. The risk of sashimi is still too great... What I want to do is, 'Salted'.

"Salted?" Leos imagined a flying hooved beast running and falling into a large jar filled with salt, and he suddenly smiled stupidly.

"Thinking that we have to travel a lot recently, we need to add some salt... Of course, it would be better if there are eggs. Protein is also a necessary nutrition." Sensi touched his beard, turned to Jon and said, "Trouble Please light up the fire."

"Small problem." Jon snapped his fingers.

But he saw that the flames under the cauldron were beating more violently.

"The orthodox salt-baking method is to completely bury the ingredients in heated coarse salt and mature them in this special way. Unfortunately, our current conditions are limited and we cannot waste so much precious salt, so we can only use traditional methods." Sensi said I took out many pieces of shadow tail from the bag.

After a night, those shadow tails looked a little wilted.

"The man-eating plant itself will secrete special sap. After being heated with fierce fire, the sap will condense strangely and turn into salt-like crystals." Sensi counted the numbers and said to himself: "The amount is just right."

But he was a little worried, so he asked Jon to cut down many shadow tails and come back.

Heat over high heat.

Shadow Tail gradually turned into ashes of vegetation.

The ashes mixed with salt-like crystals gave off a strange burnt aroma.

"If possible, I still hope to use other methods to process this flying hoof meat." A trace of regret flashed in Senxi's eyes.

If fifty kilograms of meat are not preserved by salt baking, they can only wait for it to dry slowly.

But they don't have that much time.

Salt baking is a big project. Fortunately, there are enough people and magic to assist.

Even so.

They worked from eight in the morning to half past ten.

Maruxi was hungry, "It's done... Can we eat it?"

Senxi gave a thumbs up: "Yes!"

After getting a positive answer, Maruxi picked a piece of salt-baked flying hoof meat without any idol burden.

She thought that the food made in this way would be dry and salty.

As a result, the moment she took a bite, Maruxi's eyes lit up: "It smells so good..."

The 'wildness' of the flying hoof itself, the salty and fragrant sap of the shadow tail, and various seasonings, gathered together a unique dish.

Dry?

It is indeed a little dry.

Fortunately, there was mint juice that I hadn't finished drinking yesterday.

Chill it a little and add a few slices of dried slime.

The refreshing mint and the salty and fragrant salt-baked meat blend perfectly.

"It's so delicious~" Maluxier smiled happily.

At this moment, she completely forgot that the delicacy in her mouth was the monster that almost bit off her face a few hours ago.

"Yeah, it's really delicious. The taste and flavor of the flying hoof beast are really unique." Senxi nodded repeatedly, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful: "I still want to eat eggs. Although meat is also an excellent protein, adventurers can't do without eggs."

Laios took out the illustrated book again: "As for the second underground floor, I remember that the cockatrice seems to be on this floor. When I go to the third floor later, I can try my luck and see if I can find a few eggs. I can eat and cook them on the way."

Cockatrice, the king of snakes!

From the outside, it is a huge rooster with a snake tail.

Many novice adventurers think that the chicken is the real body.

But in fact, the snake is the dominant one.

Sharp claws, highly poisonous.

It has strong attack and defense power at the same time, and is a more difficult monster than the flying hoof beast.

…

…

For many things, plans cannot keep up with changes.

We clearly said that we would go to the nest of the cockatrice to try to pick up two eggs.

As a result, as soon as the group walked out of the tree hole, they encountered a trouble.

"Please! Please, help me!" The lone female adventurer even tilted her helmet, and her voice was weak: "My companion was attacked by the wolf and was taken to their lair!"

Laos had a headache: "I really want to help you, but I have reasons to go underground as soon as possible..."

My sister is still in the belly of the red dragon. If I go too late, even the bones will be digested.

"Please! You are the only ones around here who can help me! Johnny... Brother Johnny clearly said that he would retire and get married when he returned to the ground." The female adventurer cried and knelt in front of the group in a very standard way.

Brother?

Laos’ heart moved.

They are also a brother-sister partnership.

He couldn’t help but imagine that if he was dragged away by the wolf, would Falin also be like the female adventurer in front of him, and be humble to a group of strangers...

Finally.

Laos sighed softly. (End of this chapter)
