Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Carrying an iron pick, he tapped the exposed ore veins outside the rock bed one after another. It didn't take long for several pieces of high-grade metal ore to roll down together with the gravel.

Gordon picked them up one by one, carefully identified the color and luster, and found that most of them were the most common iron ore, but there were also a few pieces of good-quality larkite among them.

Good luck.

This result made Gordon very satisfied. After putting them all away happily, he hummed a little song and went to the next collection point.

It was a pile of bones scattered under the roots of a giant tree, and a large number of severely weathered animal bones were piled up in it, but if you search carefully, you may not be unable to find some usable bone materials.

Regarding these bone materials, Gordon has no needs for the time being, but he also learned from the workshop owner that most high-level great swords belong to the "bone knife derivative system".

For example, the "Xiong Huolong Yanjian" mentioned by the owner of the workshop.

Therefore, the hoarding of bone materials must also start now, and collect a little every time there is an opportunity during hunting, and accumulate more, so as not to find that the materials are insufficient when they are really needed.

After struggling to carry all kinds of ores collected all afternoon, as well as bone materials such as animal bones and keel [small], Gordon returned to the camp with a full harvest.

After storing the material in the storage box, he raised his head to look at the sky, and the sun was already westward.

Remembering that Ted should still be collecting ingredients for today's delicious dinner and fishing hard, while he was only focusing on collecting the equipment materials he needed, Gordon suddenly felt a little guilty.

Cough, let's collect something along the way and bring them there.

Anyway, with that old man's fishing method, he shouldn't be able to catch any good things. Even if he only picks a few mushrooms and takes them with him, he won't be considered a loser!

I thought so, but on the way to the beach, Gordon still collected the ingredients seriously.

After all, this is also for the sake of my own stomach. I don’t necessarily have to go to the rich Metabe jungle for a “vacation”, and I have to gnaw miserably on the food I bring, right?

Not to mention, there are quite a lot of things to eat in the dense forest.

In addition to the most common mushrooms, Gordon also collected all kinds of berries, wild vegetables, wild taro, and a spirit deer who was unlucky and ran into the door by himself.

That's enough for the two big belly guys to have a good meal, but Gordon is still a little dissatisfied.

He ran to the beach with his shoulders and hands, and found a tall and lush coconut tree. He thought climbing the tree was too much trouble, so he swung the explosive knife and chopped down the tree in two or three strokes. He took a few mature coconuts, Prepare to drink it for a while.

Carrying a lot of ingredients, he ran to the fishing spot. Before he had time to show off to Ted, Gordon was startled by the giant tuna that was probably two meters long beside Ted.

"Big king tuna?"

Gordon threw the ingredients in his hands aside, jumped onto the reef in a few steps, touched the bright mirror-like body of the still twitching king tuna, and said with disbelief on his face: "You caught this fish. ?!"

"That's right!" Ted patted his chest, his face full of pride, "It was my uncle who caught it!"

Gordon couldn't help but cast a glance at the fishing rod thrown aside after being cut in half by someone, and asked suspiciously, "Did you catch it with a fishing rod?"

Ted's face was obviously stiff, "Why, is it important how you catch it? My uncle has his own special fishing skills!"

Gordon blinked, and immediately changed his way of asking, "Hey, brother Ted, you are so good, even with a broken fishing rod, you can catch such a big fish. Guys are really stupid.

Could it be that, brother Ted, you are using the legendary 'fishing without tackle'? Teach my brother! "

Ted really got excited, he patted the reef beside him, and said with a big smile: "The fishing rod is useless. After fishing for a long time, I only caught a small fish the size of a palm. My uncle sees it." If not, throw it back into the sea.

As a result, before the little fish had time to run, it was swallowed by several fish rushing over. We were so angry that we fired two cannonballs into the sea, um, it wasn’t a dragon shotgun, but just ordinary two cannonballs!

Guess what, a lot of fish were blown out and floated up, ahahaha! "

Gordon: "."

You are fried fish!

"As soon as we jumped down to fish, this big guy swam over, probably attracted by the bloody smell of the fried fish.

Can I let it go? After a bit of wrestling, I hauled it up! "Ted made a few punching gestures, and then made a vigorous dragging action, which was vivid.

Gordon's mouth twitched.

Looking back at the huge fist marks on the head of King Tuna, he couldn't spit out his heart, so he asked tentatively, "Then we?"

"Eat it now! King tuna sashimi!" Ted replied crisply, "Is that what it's called? A fresh way to eat it from the Western Continent?"

"Okay!" Gordon immediately stopped being entangled.

Excitedly ran to the large pile of berries and wild vegetables I brought, I searched for a while, and finally found a wild vegetable with a spicy stem. The smell is a bit like wasabi. Although it is not authentic, it should be able to make do with it.

Don't even think about soy sauce, just use salt instead.

Ted took the initiative to take over the work of cutting the fish. There is no delicate and sharp fish cutting knife, and a small knife can do the job. Chop left and right, and even want to borrow Gordon's explosive knife when the bone is too hard After trying, the latter refused.

Flesh flying, Ted's whole process of handling king tuna is enough to make any professional chef's blood pressure soar.

The final result is a large pile of bright red meat the size of a fist placed on a banana leaf that serves as a dinner plate.

"Uh, isn't this cut too big?" Although Gordon himself didn't know much about "sashimi", an exotic dish from the Western Continent.

But he estimated that it must not be such a rough thing

"The big ones are delicious!" Ted waved his hand and explained his terrible knife skills.

As if to prove his words, Ted took the lead in grabbing a large piece of plump fish belly with a beautiful marble-like fat texture, threw it into his big mouth enough to stuff a whole apple, and then chewed vigorously.

Frowning, he chewed for a while, and finally raised his neck and tried to swallow it. Ted muttered: "It's slippery and sticky, tasteless, it feels uncooked and delicious."

Gordon rolled his eyes and said, "Who would eat sashimi like you? You're just eating raw fish, you have to eat sashimi like this!"

As he said that, he followed the hearsay "sliced ​​raw fish, put some wasabi puree, and dipped in soy sauce to eat", cut the fist-sized fish into palm-thick fish fillets, or fish steaks, and carefully spread them Top it with diced raw wild vegetable stems, and put a pinch of fine salt before stuffing it into your mouth.

Staring wide-eyed, Ted, who observed Gordon's "extremely particular" way of eating, let out a long exclamation: "Oh~! It turns out that sashimi is eaten like this, I have learned it!"

Chew Chew Chew Chew

After swallowing the fish meat with some difficulty, Gordon wiped his mouth and commented objectively: "It's very exotic to eat, and the taste is very special."

Ted followed suit and swallowed a large piece of fish fillet, but was choked by the spicy taste of wild vegetables. After a short silence, he muttered:

"I think it should be cooked and delicious."

"Well, I also think that the way of eating sashimi is not suitable for us." Gordon stared at the piece of fish in front of him, folded his arms and nodded, as if he didn't intend to touch it again.

"Who's going to light the fire?"

"You go, make the fire bigger. I'll peel and wash the spirit deer. After a while, I'll skewer mushrooms, smear berries, and roast together! I also brought a few coconuts for drinks, but unfortunately I didn't bring ale."

"Hey! Why did you forget to bring wine!"

"Bury these wild taros under the fire for a while, and bake them for a while, otherwise your mouth will be numb."

"no problem."

"."

"."

The sun was setting and it was getting dark.

On the beach at night in the dense forest of Metabe, the bonfires are bright.

Gordon and Ted lay on their backs on the warm sand, patting their swollen bellies, and sighed sincerely.

"The King Tuna is so delicious!"
