Pirate's Bizarre Adventure

While Chilchak was checking the trap, Laos approached Sensi, lowered his voice, and said tactfully: "Although you may not be happy to hear this, Chilchak is so nervous because he is worried about the safety of our team.

Sensi, if you encounter a similar situation again, you should not let your temper take over."

Hearing this, Senxi still stared with his big round eyes: "I really can't remember those complicated routes."

"If you can't remember, just follow anyone. Luckily, Laos and I were there this time. If we two hadn't blocked those traps, Maruthil would have been roasted..." Jon also came over and said, "Even so, do you think it doesn't matter?"

"Wait a moment." Malushiel raised her hand before Senxi could reply: "Why should I be roasted? Can't someone else be replaced?"

"In theory, Chilchak has the highest resistance to traps. Jon and I are pretty good at fighting, so we're not too worried about the damage from those traps. As for Sensi, he's thick-skinned and it's hard to imagine him getting hurt by a trap." Laos blinked and said seriously, "You're the only one in the team who looks so weak that you'll die if you get caught in a trap."

Malushel: ...

Although it is a bit unpleasant, I can't refute it.

Senxi stared at Malushil, and the scene of the elf girl's tragic death due to his reckless behavior appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but take a deep breath: "You are right, it is true that I am too willful."

Correct your mistakes and you will still be good partners.

Laos smiled and gave Sensi a thumbs up: "I knew you would understand. Then I'll leave lunch to you later."

"Just leave the nutrition to me." Senxi nodded slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chilchak, who had gone to investigate the trap, made a discovery: "Found it, an oil-spraying trap."

Hearing this, Senxi was happy and walked back excitedly without saying a word.

Laos quickly stopped him, "Be careful! Sensi, be careful!"

"Oh, yes, I forgot." Sensi slapped his forehead and turned to Chilchak and shouted, "Little halfling, where can we go and where can we not go? Please explain it quickly to avoid causing more trouble."

"I've already told you..." Chirchak had three black lines on his forehead: "I'm an adult now."

Not only is he an adult, he even has a wife and children, and he is also a representative of the halflings. He can be said to be a winner in life.

A person as outstanding as me should have lived a brilliant life...

How come in his twenties (from a halfling's perspective) he still has to live in an underground maze and eat monsters?

For a moment, Chirchak was lost in thought.

Following the instructions, Sensi was careful not to trigger any traps and successfully came to Chilchak: "Let me take a look."

Chirchak came to his senses and used the lock picking tool he carried with him to pry open the trap: "Here, the oil is in there."

Look down.

Senxi's eyes lit up: "This color, this smell... Yeah, I completely understand."

As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and put it into the oil storage box. "It's olive oil."

“Olive oil?” Chirchak scratched his brows. “Now that you mention it, there seems to be a large area of ​​olive trees near the third underground floor…”

"The builders of the mechanism should have used local materials." Senxi smiled, his beard trembling. "Olive oil is good. The fried food is bright yellow."

As he said this, he took off the big pot on his back and said, "Come on, help me pour the oil into the pot."

"You really want to make fried tempura..." Chilchak's expression was subtle.

But since it is olive oil, there should be no problem in consuming it. At least it is much more normal than mushroom monsters and flying hoof beasts.

Because the trigger of the mechanism had been destroyed, the two of them poured the oil into Sensi's cauldron smoothly. Sensi was indeed a dwarf known for his strength. He walked with the cauldron full of oil without any difficulty. It was just a pain for Chilchak, who had to remind him from time to time where to step and where not to step...

With a bang, the oil pan was put down.

The splashing oil almost splashed on Malushiel.

The silly elf let out a strange cry and quickly took three steps back.

"Wait, we'll have dinner soon." Senxi untied the cloth bag and took out the ingredients he had harvested these days.

In addition to the salt-baked flying hoof meat, there are also some remaining mushroom monsters (provided by Laos), shadow tail vines (collected from the second underground floor), air-dried slimes, and giant scorpions (provided by Senxi)

"There are still not enough varieties." Senxi glanced at the ingredients and was a little dissatisfied: "It's rare to have such good oil, I want to fry more things..."

Laos patted his chest and said, "It's not that difficult. I'll go outside and see if there's anything to eat."

Then, he turned to look at Malushiel: "How about it, do you want to join us?"

"Duck!" Malushiel refused without thinking.

But some bad images flashed through her mind, and she changed her mind: "Wait a minute, I'll go with you!"

Laos scratched his head: "Why did it suddenly…"

"If I leave you alone, who knows what strange ingredients you will bring back." Malushiel pinched her brows and said, "Even if it's a monster, I don't want to eat anything too disgusting. This is the bottom line."

Laos was not very clear about the bottom line, but he was very happy that Malushiel was willing to look for ingredients with him.

After saying goodbye to everyone, the man and the elf walked deeper into the maze.

Malushel kept muttering.

Laos couldn't hear clearly, but he could vaguely hear words like "have some backbone", "don't eat so much later", and "don't let others look down on you".

Laos blinked and said in his heart, "Come on, Malushel."

That's how it works sometimes.

The more you want to find something, the harder it is to find it.

Normally there are quite a lot of monsters in the underground maze, but who would have thought that now there is not a single monster to be found.

Laos looked around and said to Maruthil in a serious tone, "Why don't you dig up some moss and take it back? It's a vegetable after all."

Malushel: ???
I'm not a snail.

Besides, can something like moss really be fried?
"Ah~ I really want to eat fried chicken. Isn't it said that there is a chance that cockatiels will appear on the third underground floor?" Laos looked expectant: "If fate arranges for us to meet, I will definitely taste it."

"Don't say such nonsensical things with such affection on your face!" When the two of them were alone together, Malushiel continued to perform steadily and made timely comments.

I don’t know if it was because her voice was too loud that it attracted the prying eyes in the darkness.

Suddenly, a sticky gaze fell on her, causing her whole body to tremble slightly.

"Laios, Laos, it seems like something is watching us." Malushiel clenched her staff tightly, and her voice unconsciously became a little shrill because of nervousness.

No matter how off-line he usually was, at the critical moment, Laos was still reliable. He drew his sword and quietly protected Marusil, a teammate who was not good at fighting, behind him, "Be careful, take care of yourself."

Malushel nodded: "If necessary, I will use my magic to support you."

As he was speaking, a monster crawled out from the shadows.

Laos was slightly stunned: "This is, a big frog?"

The giant frog looks no different from an ordinary frog, but its body is more than ten times larger and its tongue is extremely flexible. It is a very ferocious predatory monster.

"Doesn't the big frog live in a deeper maze? Why is it on the third underground floor..." Malushiel was extremely confused.

But she thought of the migrating wolf pack and the mysterious silverback ape, and thought to herself, "It seems that this maze is undergoing some changes that we are not aware of."

"Don't worry, Marusil. The giant frogs usually appear in groups. Be careful not to get ambushed by other giant frogs." Laos held up his sword and spoke in a deep voice.

However, Malushil used her magic to carefully sense the surroundings and said with certainty: "There are no other monsters, Laos, there is only one big frog." Laos: ???

But that's also good, as it greatly reduces the difficulty of the battle.

"Then let's get started!" Laos said to Malushiel.

The next second, he rushed forward quickly and angrily slashed the big frog's head with his sword.

"Gugua?" The big frog would naturally not sit there and wait for death. Its long tongue suddenly popped out of its mouth and wrapped around Laos' sword in an instant.

"Damn it!" Laos' eyes flashed, and he used brute force to try to take the sword back.

But unexpectedly, he stumbled and suddenly lost his balance.

"Where does the slime come from!" Laos was shocked.

In battle, any small mistake can be fatal.

The tongue threw Laos and the sword into the air.

My life is over!

Laos thought instinctively.

At this moment, a wave of hot fire surged from behind.

The scoundrel Malushil, who had always been a drag, finally stood up for once.

"Hey, watch out!"

This is the Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!

With a bang, the big frog's head was blown off.

Laos fell heavily.

Fortunately, he was experienced and didn't suffer any hidden injuries from the fall. However, because the armor was too heavy, his buttocks were slightly red and swollen.

"Well done...Malushil..." Laos rubbed the delicate buttocks and gave Malushil a thumbs up.

Malushel raised her head proudly: "Now you know that I am still useful."

"I have always believed that your strength, Maruxil, is an indispensable part of our team. For me personally, having you, Maruxil, by my side is the luckiest thing in the world." Laos was extremely grateful and unconsciously threw out a series of three straight balls.

As we all know, she is naturally good at dealing with tsundere.

Malushel blushed, and in order to avoid the topic, she coughed lightly and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking about these nonsense, and quickly take the big frog back and blow it up."

Fried frog legs and the like are considered normal food outside, so Malushil was surprisingly adaptable to monsters like giant frogs and didn't feel disgusted by them.

"It's too big... I can't carry it back by myself." Laos became worried and looked at Malushiel quietly.

Malu Hilton showed the same alertness as a husky: "Let me make it clear first, I can eat it, but I would never touch this sticky thing even if I am beaten to death."

Laos scratched the back of his head. "Then I'll just have to cut off a leg and take it back."

the other side.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

High-temperature olive oil exudes the unique aroma of vegetable oil.

Chilchak rested his hands on his pillow and circled around Sensi: "Do you need my help?"

"You've been busy a lot just now." Senxi said without raising his head: "Now let me ..."

As he spoke, he put a finger slightly into the oil pan.

Chirchak had a calm expression at first, but when he saw such a suicidal behavior, his expression changed: "Hand! Hand! Hand!"

"It's okay. I have a good heat tolerance. Or maybe all dwarves are like this." Senxi took out his finger calmly and muttered to himself, "The oil temperature is about 180 degrees, which is a good time to put it in the pan."

He turned around and looked at his side, and said to Chilchak, "Please continue to maintain this temperature. I have to start preparing the ingredients for the pot."

"Ah? Me?" Chilchak pointed at himself.

"Yeah." Senxi nodded, "It's just a matter of maintaining the flame. It won't be too difficult."

"Okay--" Chilchak agreed reluctantly.

While the chichak is cooking keep the oil warm.

Senxi pulled out a kitchen knife and started chopping the ingredients.

Mix the crumbs of Shadow Tail with tree juice, cut the salt-baked Falcon into flowers, slice the air-dried Slime, and cut the Mushroom Monster into medium-sized cubes.

Coincidentally.

Just as they finished preparing the ingredients, Laos and Malushiel came back with frog legs.

Senxi exclaimed in amazement: "Isn't this a big frog? I didn't expect to see one on the third floor underground."

Laos handed the frog leg to Sensi: "Yeah, we were also shocked at the time. Fortunately, this is a lone big frog, otherwise Malushiel and I would be in danger."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jon suddenly said, "Have you noticed that when you explore with the red deer, you will definitely encounter some strange things."

Laos: ...

That said.

It seems so.

Malushel snorted, "From what you said, I am the one who brought bad luck! I am an elf born with a full luck value, how could I possibly bring disaster upon myself?"

Jon couldn't comment on this.

Senxi ignored the others and took the initiative to peel the frog legs and cut them into pieces of appropriate size.

"It still needs to be marinated for a while." He said, pouring all his treasured dwarven liquor into the bowl of frog legs: "Fry this last."

"What? Is it about to begin?" Laos showed unprecedented anticipation for eating monsters.

He prepared the plates and forks, and watched Senxi's every move carefully.

Senxi smiled slightly, "Let's start with Shadow Tail."

After he finished speaking, he used a large pair of tongs to put the cakes made of cut shadow tails and tree juice into the frying pan.

Sizzle!!!!

In an instant, the aroma of oil filled the air.

Laos and the others couldn't help but swallow.

You can also eat fried food in the underground maze.

This was completely unimaginable before.

"Thanks to you, Sensi!" Laos said with gratitude in his eyes.

After saying this, he couldn't wait to put the fried pancake into his mouth. (End of this chapter)
