Chapter 797 Human Head Grass

"When sailing on the sea, you only need to pay attention to three things: things in the sky, things on the sea, and things on the bottom of the sea. - Sailing Diary (Jane Beifang)"

In addition to ships, there are some other possibilities on the sea surface of a water planet.

For example, the bulb seaweed we encountered before, and the sunken wood that can grow from the bottom of the sea all the way to the surface of the sea.

For example...some strange-shaped statues.

The "Grey Sparrow" crashed into these statues and was forced to stop.

Fortunately, thanks to Han Zhan’s captain’s talent bonus, the thick hull was not hit with a single hole.

But what is surprising is that these bizarre statues show no signs of damage.

These statues have twisted and strange shapes, standing high above the sea, each one is almost seven or eight meters high.

Their surface color is white with a yellowish tint, and there are more or less defects on the lower parts, apparently due to the constant erosion by the waves.

"these are……"

"Angel?"

Looking at the wings stretching out behind them, Han Zhan, who came to the deck, was surprised.

"To be precise, it's the Salted Angel." At this time, Shang Siting, who also came to the deck, added.

She found records about these statues in the navigation diary she sorted out.

"They are naturally formed salt piles on water planets, and under the erosion of the waves, they were 'carved' into angel-like shapes."

“In fact, it is made of condensed yellow-white sea salt.”

The other Qi Ling girls opened their eyes wide when they heard this. Looking at these lifelike angel statues, it was hard to imagine that they were made by the waves.

“It’s amazing, isn’t it?”

"There are even more magical things than this." All the information about the "Salted Angel" and related things in Shang Siting's mind were filtered out at the first time.

"Some black iron boxes will appear inexplicably near the Salted Angel."

"No one knows where they come from or how they appear, but they are found at the feet of the 'salted angels', near the salt piles."

“Even the heaviest waves can’t wash it away.”

It seemed to confirm Shang Siting's words.

When everyone's eyes fell on the feet of the salted angel, they indeed found some inconspicuous black spots.

These black iron boxes are either half buried in the salt pile or lying on the salt pile with their arms and legs spread out, waiting for their discoverers.

"What's in the black metal box?" Han Zhan looked at Shang Siting and asked.

The latter shook his head.

"It's not mentioned in Jane Beifang's logbook."

"I don't know whether he despises it or doesn't want to mention it."

"Should we try to open it?"

The last sentence was about the Korean War.

Just like what they joked about in the restaurant just now, Han Zhan’s captain talent and the 99% increase in the probability of special events can always bring them many different experiences.

After thinking for a moment, Han Zhan nodded his chin slightly.

He was indeed very curious about what was inside these tattered-looking metal boxes.

But before that, he decided to anchor the Grey Sparrow close to the Salty Angel.

The "Grey Sparrow" can eliminate 100% of evil curses. Within the range of its aura, any evil curse from the deep sea will have nowhere to hide.

This is also the reason why Han Zhan dared to make such a decision.

The ship's ladder was released from the "Grey Sparrow", and half of the people stayed on the ship. Han Zhan, Feng Xiaozao, Shang Siting, and Xia Youwei climbed up the salt pile from the ship's ladder. When they stepped on the salt pile, the feedback from their soles was like stepping on the beach.

Han Zhan bent down, picked up a handful, and spread it out in the palm of his hand. The salt pile was made up of those tiny white particles in his hand.

Judging from the color and shape, it looks very similar to salt, so maybe it is it.

Thinking of this, Han Zhan took a few steps forward and came to a black iron box.

He signaled Xiaozao and the others with his eyes, then walked forward alone and suddenly opened the black iron box.

There was a clang.

When the top cover of the iron box was opened, there was a slightly dull thumping sound.

A salty and humid smell of the sea hits me in the face.

Then, faces after faces turned towards him, swaying gently in the sea breeze.

Such a strange and horrifying sudden scene brought about a huge visual impact that made Han Zhan's heart tighten.

He resisted the urge to kick over the tin box and calmed down.

These human faces are very small, only the size of bean sprouts. No, that’s not right. These “human faces” seem to be fake?

Han Zhan calmed himself down and looked at these "faces" carefully again.

He discovered that these "faces" were just patterns that resembled human facial features.

It is only because it is too abstract, and because you suddenly see it when you open the iron box, that it creates a frightening effect.

"I seem to know their names!" At this time, Xia Youwei, who was standing aside, slapped her head and said.

Although there was no detailed record of them in the navigation log, there was another book, which was the cookbook that Xia Youwei found in the kitchen.

In the cookbook, Xia Youwei remembered the descriptions of them.

"Their name is human head grass."

"As the name suggests, their young shoots look like human heads, hence the name."

"The growth form of the grass is similar to bean sprouts, but instead of sprouting from seeds, they grow directly from the grass stems."

"The young shoots of the human head grass are round, with patterns similar to human facial features, and silvery white hairs. From a distance, they look like human heads, lifelike."

"The recipe also contains information on how to eat it, including raw and cooked."

"If you want to eat it raw, just tear off the round head of the lavender."

"If you want to eat it cooked, you can grill it on an iron plate. The moment the head grass is heated, its head (fruit) will fall off and emit white hairs."

For some reason, after listening to Xia Youwei's description, Han Zhan and the other girls felt a little creepy in their hearts.

The looks towards those human heads were even more awkward and complicated.

"Don't underestimate this dish." Xia Youwei saw their expressions and knew what they were thinking. She added, "This dish is a special delicacy in the sea."

"Because it can increase a lot of spiritual value."

On water planets, in some specific extremely difficult sea areas, the consumption of mental value can be very serious.

However, the spiritual value that most ordinary ingredients can increase is very limited.

Therefore, human head grass has become a spiritual supplement that sea voyagers are keen on pursuing.

"It's true, you are what you eat." Han Zhan sighed after hearing what Xia Youwei said.

When I think of picking a dozen thumb-sized miniature human brains (fruits) at random, and then putting them into my mouth to chew, the splashing juice and the sticky texture, the sour and refreshing feeling...

"I really don't want to eat them unless it's absolutely necessary!"
