Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

Flying Hoof Beast...

More powerful than you think!
Laos swung his sword with great force, but he was completely unable to hit the nimble pony.

Even he, a warrior, was helpless, let alone Malusil who had 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 ability a little outrageous?"

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

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

Take a deep breath.

Her eyes brightened and she began to chant.

However, the flying hoof beast sensed the danger behind it and suddenly gave up fighting with Laos. It spread its four legs and flashed in front of Malushiel.

'So fast! '

This was the only thought in Malushel's mind.

Then, almost instinctively, she activated her nascent magic.

call out--

The wind blade flashed.

The flying hoof beast dodged swiftly.

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

"This guy is actually looking down on me."

Malushel was ashamed and annoyed.

But the next second.

Shame and anger turned into fear, 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 even a second.

Laos was extremely anxious: "Get out of the way, Malusil!"

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

In an instant, many bad images flashed through the silly elf's mind.

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

"Duck!!!!"

At the critical moment, a sharp sword light flashed.

The last come first.

It hit the flying hoof beast right on target.

The flying hoof beast's smug expression froze on its face, and its entire body flew backwards unconsciously, falling heavily with a bang.

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

puff!
Blood splattered everywhere.

I don’t know if it’s because fools have good luck, but this attack accidentally pierced the flying hoof beast’s heart.

The pony-like monster struggled for a while, spat out some blood, and soon became motionless.

Laos breathed a sigh of relief.

Wiping the sweat off his head, he turned around and happened to see Jon walking towards him with the 'thunderstorm' on his shoulders.

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

"Yeah, it was dangerous, otherwise our team's most beautiful person would have been disfigured." Jon walked to Malushiel while speaking, "Are you okay, Malushiel?"

"Woo... It's okay... Thank you..." Even if she had many opinions about John before, after this incident, Malushiel was left with only gratitude in her heart.

A woman's face is equivalent to her life.

In case of disfigurement.

She didn't know how to live anymore.

In excitement, Malushiel, who was sitting like a duck, hugged Jon's trouser legs.

The result was a wave of disgust: "Don't rub your snot and tears on my pants, my clothes are very expensive."

Malushel: ???
I almost got disfigured just now.

I'm feeling very vulnerable right now, and you're actually caring about such boring things?
Malushel's expression froze.

Just then, Laos came over.

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

"Laos——" Malusil's eyes were filled with tears.

"Take the flying hoof beast back later, and I'll give you the tastiest part, so don't feel wronged anymore." Laos said gently, "If he wants to bite you, bite him back, just think of it as revenge."

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

The words just came out of my mouth.

She felt something was wrong.

But I couldn't figure out what was wrong for a moment.

He was in a dilemma and looked a little silly.

"Come to think of it, flying-hoofed beasts are really rare on the second underground floor." Jon didn't go to Malusil, but came to the body of the flying-hoofed beast.

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

Malushiel turned her head away, not liking such a bloody scene.

However, Laos said worriedly: "Such a bloody smell will attract some monsters."

"Isn't that great?" Jon said without raising his head: "It saves us from having to go hunting later..."

Oh!
It turned out to be the case.

Laos pounded his hands to show that he completely understood.

He recognized Jon's strength.

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

No wonder there is no fixed team, one can get along well on this island alone.

While he was talking, Jon's bloodletting was completed.

He then 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's hesitation, he shook his head and said, "Forget it. Since the smell of blood doesn't attract other monsters, I will proceed to the next step."

What comes after bloodletting?
Of course, they would gut it and discard the excess internal organs.

Jon held the knife in one hand and deliberately said to Malushiel, "The following scene is not suitable for children. Children should not watch it."

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

But soon, she regretted it.

Although from the perspective of an elf, fifty is definitely the age of a young girl, from the perspective of a human...

Jon stroked his smooth chin, looking back and forth between Laos and Maruthil: "Maruthil as a funeral attendant? That sounds interesting."

Laos: ???

Malushel: ???
I had no idea what this guy was saying, but I instinctively felt it wasn't a good thing.

After playing a joke, Jon ignored the two of them.

Skillfully handle the corpse of the flying hoofed beast.

Neat.

The excess organs were simply buried anywhere.

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

It was a busy period.

In the end, Jon successfully obtained at least 50 kilograms of good meat. If this 50 kilograms of meat is properly preserved, he will not have to hunt again for a few days.

"Laos, you carry it." Jon said casually.

Laos happily complied.

Just fifty kilograms.

As a veteran soldier, it was no problem for him to lift it.

Malushel looked hesitant.

I wanted to prove that I wasn't a jerk.

But accidentally, he dragged the team down again...

Hey~
She sighed.

"It's okay, Maruschel. I always feel that your magic is an indispensable force for our team." Laos was sometimes silly, but sometimes surprisingly sharp. He smiled cheerfully, "I am also very grateful to you and Chilchak for not leaving me when I needed support the most."

"Laos... I... I did it for Farin." Malushel had no resistance to such a direct ball, and even the tips of her ears turned red: "Don't think too much..."

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

"No, no, I can prove it." Jon came closer, "You didn't say anything. You didn't stir up the heart of the fifty-year-old girl at all."

Malushel: ...

A girl is just a girl, don’t mention fifty years old, you bastard!
Return to the tree hole safely.

Sensi saw at a glance the processed flying hoof beast that Laos was holding.

"What is this?" Chilchak also came forward curiously: "Pony?"

"Flying Hoof Beast." Laos said proudly, "Qiao Qiao killed it."

"It wasn't you who killed him, so why are you so proud of yourself..." Three black lines appeared on Chirchak's head.

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

"Did he develop all these skills because he got separated from his tribe?" Laos stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "No wonder he is so powerful."

"It doesn't matter what. I'm starving." Chirchak put his hands on his pillow and said, "Roast it quickly. To be honest, I'm a little curious about what the flying hoof beast tastes like."

Unlike the slimes and mushroom monsters that look like "monsters", the flying hoof beast looks like a stronger pony, which is easy to accept rationally.

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.

Don't be fooled by his rough appearance. He is very delicate and meticulous when it comes to cooking.

"It's rare to come across a special ingredient like the flying hoof beast. It would be a waste to simply grill it or make it into a teppanyaki dish." Senxi took out a lot of seasonings and carefully spread them on the evenly thin slices of meat.

Malushel felt something was wrong: "Let me make it clear first, I absolutely cannot eat raw meat or sashimi."

"Don't worry, Elf girl. Although the Hoofed Beast is a relatively clean monster, it will inevitably have some tiny parasites in its body that are difficult to see with the naked eye. The risk of sashimi is still too great... What I'm going to do is, 'salt-baked'."

"Salt-baked?" An image of a flying hoofed beast running and then falling into a large jar full of salt appeared in Laos' mind, and he immediately smiled foolishly.

"We have to travel a lot recently, so we need to replenish salt... Of course, it would be even better if we have eggs, as protein is also a necessary nutrient." Sensi stroked his beard, turned to Jon and said, "Please make the fire burn brighter."

"Small problem." Jon snapped his fingers.

But the flames under the cauldron leaped even more violently.

"The orthodox salt-baking method is to bury the ingredients completely in heated coarse salt and mature them in this special way. Unfortunately, our conditions are limited now and we can't waste so much precious salt, so we can only use the traditional method." Senxi took out many pieces of Shadow Tail from the bag.

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

"The man-eating plant itself secretes a special sap. After being heated by a fierce fire, the sap will strangely condense and turn into salt-like crystals." Senxi counted them and said to himself, "The number is just right."

But he was still a little worried, so he asked Jon to chop down more Shadow Tails.

Heat over high heat.

Shadow Tail gradually turned into ash.

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

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

If you don't preserve 50 kilograms of meat by salt-baking, you can only wait for it to slowly dry out.

But they don't have that much time.

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

Rao is so.

I was busy from eight in the morning to half past ten.

Malushiel was starving. "Is it ready... Can we eat now?"

Senxi gave a thumbs up: "Okay!"

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

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

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

The 'wildness' of the flying hoof beast, the salty and fragrant sap of the shadow tail, and a variety of seasonings combine to create a dish with unique flavor.

Dry?
A little dry indeed.

Fortunately, I still had the mint juice from yesterday.

Chill slightly and add a few slices of air-dried slime.

The refreshing taste of mint and the salty flavor of salt-baked meat blend perfectly.

"It's so delicious~" Malushiel 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 delicious. The texture and taste of the flying hoof beast are really unique." Senxi nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he 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."

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

Cockatrice, the king of snakes!

From the outside, it looks like a giant rooster with a snake's tail.

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

But in reality, the snake is the dominant one.

Sharp claws, highly poisonous.

It has powerful attack and defense capabilities, and is a more difficult monster to deal with than the flying hoof beast.

……

……

For many things, plans cannot keep up with changes.

I clearly said I wanted to go to the cockatrice's nest and try to pick up two eggs.

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

“Please! Please, help me!” The lone female adventurer’s helmet was crooked, and her voice was weak: “My companion was attacked by the wolves and was taken to their lair!”

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

My sister is still in the red dragon's stomach. If we 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 earth." The female adventurer sobbed and knelt in front of the group of people in a very standard posture.

elder brother?

Laos' heart moved.

They are also a brother and sister duo.

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

the end.

Laos sighed softly. (End of this chapter)
