It’s not easy to be an interstellar chef

Su Chaoliu tightened her waist and felt a pulling force pulling her.

It was the safety rope that worked.

But the effect it can have is limited. The safety rope is pulling from behind, and the beast is dragging in front. Either she lets go, or she herself is torn in two.

Su Chaoliu reached out and touched the safety rope around his waist and untied it directly.

After being untied, the power on both sides was instantly unbalanced, and Su Chaoliu was dragged another distance in an instant.

There was a force in each arm pulling her, and Su Chaoliu deeply understood what it meant to dismember the body by five horses.

But she can maintain a short-term physical balance without being pulled back and forth.

Then she pushed both hands in her direction.

This was not an easy thing to do. Su Chaoliu's eyes were about to burst, veins popped out on his forehead, and his face was hideous and ugly.

But fortunately, she succeeded. Su Chaoliu tied the safety rope and the fishing net together.

After doing it, Su moved away from Liu Chao, gasping for air, and then did not dare to stop, and immediately swam towards Zhuge Ningning.

The two of them followed the same method and freed Zhuge Ningning.

Now it can be said that the movement of the alien beast has been temporarily controlled, preventing it from running around randomly.

Su Chao Liu swam to the opposite side of the alien beast and watched it struggle and roll. He clenched his fist and punched out.

Her punch was too fast and too heavy, and it actually caused a burst of water under the water. Even the water surface suddenly surged and shook endlessly.

The alien beast that suffered the punch at close range fainted directly. It was not known whether it was dead or not, but once it stopped struggling, the safety rope quickly took it up to the surface of the water.

Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning also went upstream.

After surfacing, the two found themselves dozens of meters away from the shore, and could only paddle back through the water.

Fortunately, the wetsuit has an auxiliary swimming mode. After turning it on, the body can float on the water and move forward with just a few kicks.

Su Chaoqi saw them from a distance and reached out to pull them out of the water.

"You scared me to death," Su Chaoqi said. "I saw that the safety rope was connected to the fishing net, not you, so I thought something had happened to you."

If it weren't for the two light spots representing Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning on the light brain that were still moving, she might really have to think of another way.

Su Chaoliu asked: "Did you activate the safety rope?"

They use automatic safety ropes that can pull people back as long as the start button is pressed. They are usually found at construction sites or mines.

Su Chaoqi nodded yes.

Su Chaoliu knew that it was fortunate that Su Chaoqi made a decisive decision, otherwise they might have been dragged further by the strange beasts.

Now that they are on the shore, they can finally deal with the strange beast: "Where is the fishing net? Take me there to take a look."

Of course, the fishing net was still in the water. After the safety rope pulled the fishing net up, Su Chaoqi didn't dare to touch it, so he kept the lower half in the water.

But Su Chaoliu had no such scruples. She and Zhuge Ningning each held one side of the fishing net and pulled it to the shore in one step.

The fish was still unconscious, which showed how heavy Su Chaoliu's punch was.

Zhuge Ningning muttered: "Isn't he dead?"

Su Chaoliu immediately retorted: "No, I'm just being cautious."

The main reason is that dead fish are not tasty, and live fish taste better when they are freshly killed, so Su Chaoliu just knocked the fish unconscious.

But this fish is still going to die, but now is the time to die.

Su Chaoliu took out the fish-killing knife and saw that the fish was trying to wake up. He hit the fish hard on the head with the back of the knife and knocked the fish out again with satisfaction.

She neatly began to scrape the fish scales, then opened the fish's belly and began to remove the internal organs.

This step is almost enough, and the rest can be left to Su Chaoqi.

Su Chaoliu was asked to take the first few steps because he was afraid that if the fish suddenly woke up, Su Chaoqi would not have the ability to subdue it.

But now that it is completely dead, there is no problem in letting Su Chaoqi take over.

Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning were discussing what to do next.

One second-level alien beast was enough to torment them, and there were at least nine more in the fish pond.

Even if they want to arrest them one by one, they can't go on like this. Their physical strength will be exhausted very quickly.

"You have to fight them first," Zhuge Ningning said seriously, "otherwise it will be useless even if you catch them with a fishing net."

They can swim desperately even if the net is caught, but sooner or later they will lose their grip on the net in their hands and finally let the fish run away.

"You're right," Su Chaoliu nodded. "Originally, our thinking was too simple. We thought we just need to catch them, but we ignored that we are weak in the water and cannot control them at all."

Zhuge Ningning pressed her knuckles, making a clicking sound, with a confident look on her face: "Leave the fighting to me, you hold the net and prepare to catch fish."

It seems that Zhuge Ningning did not have much practice during her vacation internship.

However, Su Chaoliu had no intention of letting Zhuge Ningning take charge of the battle alone. This would be too taxing for the individual: "Okay, let's take turns."

They learned their lesson this time and tied the fishing net with a new safety rope so they didn't have to pull the net themselves.

After regaining their composure, they took to the water again.

Su Chaoqi put the killed fish into the space button, walked a little farther away from the water, and continued to look out for them to observe the situation.

After putting fish feed into the water, Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning waited for a while before seeing the surging fish. They hurriedly took a few bites before the second-level alien beasts arrived. After the second-level alien beast arrived leisurely, it directly used its body to knock away these beings that were much weaker than it, and opened its mouth to enjoy these delicacies.

Su Chaoliu raised his finger and pointed at Zhuge Ningning to count down: three, two, one!

Zhuge Ningning rushed out in an instant and reached out to grab the fish's tail.

In any case, start with a hard control first, and it will be much easier to handle once you have it under control.

However, fish are far more slippery than humans in the water. Sensing the movement behind them, the strange beast nimbly turned in a circle and escaped from Zhuge Ningning's hands, and jumped far into the water.

Zhuge Ningning was so angry that she kicked off her legs and chased after him.

A man and a fish started a chase in the water.

Su Chaoliu was observing the changes in the situation.

This fish is quite clever. Wherever it passes, it stirs up all the sediment in the water, causing the underwater vision to be blurred and the visibility to be less than half a meter.

But Zhuge Ningning has never been an economical person. Her combat intuition is a gift. She doesn't even need to think about it to know which direction the fish is going.

So she kept chasing after him.

"What are you doing?" Su Chaoqi's voice came from the earphones, "The lake is all mixed up, are you okay?"

What can happen, but pursuing it like this is not an option.

Su Chaoliu's special ability is activated, and he can see the movements of fish clearly even in turbid water.

Zhuge Ningning didn't need brains to chase fish, but Su Chaoliu did.

His brain quickly analyzed the fish's movements and the direction of the water flow, and then Su Chaoliu found the opportunity and rushed forward to intercept the fish's path.

Seeing the sudden obstacle, the fish was full of energy and wanted to rush into it.

But Su Chao Liu spread the fishing net and headed towards the fish cover.

As long as the fish plunges into the fishing net, they can take advantage of the situation to close the net.

But the fish didn't know whether it sensed danger or something, so it suddenly braked and turned around.

However, the person following behind was Zhuge Ningning.

Zhuge Ningning clenched her hands into fists, and the moment the fish turned its head, she hit it hard on the head from above.

How strong is Zhuge Ningning? Let's put it this way, Su Chaoqi saw a small water column on the water.

Such force indeed knocked the fish unconscious, and the two immediately wrapped it in a fishing net and signaled Su Chaoqi to pull up the safety rope to close the net.

Got another one.

The two climbed ashore to rest for a while and catch their breath.

"The efficiency is too slow," Su Chao Liu shook his head, "Isn't there a faster way?"

"No," Su Chaoqi said, "Alien beasts are generally territorial and will not go to other people's territory under normal circumstances, so now we are spreading bait in different areas and luring them out one at a time."

It seemed that this work could not be completed in one day, it would take at least two days. After all, when the sun went down, it would be difficult to see clearly in the water, which was not conducive to their movement.

However, Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning also had experience and knew that they should be surrounded. It would be too time-consuming to fight one on one.

Taking advantage of this momentum, they caught a total of five fish before calling it a day.

In the evening, Su Chaoqi used a second-level exotic beast to make a plate of grilled fish.

Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning worked for a day and finished the grilled fish, which weighed more than forty or fifty kilograms.

Although others also ate, they only used their chopsticks a few times. It was mainly them who ate, but they said they were only 80% full.

Mrs. Zhuge turned to Su Chaoqi and asked, "Is it normal for them to be like this?"

This is too much to eat, and I obviously took nutritional supplements today.

"I have consumed too much energy and superpowers today, and my spirits have been tense all the time," Su Chaoqi concluded after observing them carefully, "and they didn't eat any staple food, so this amount is normal."

Only Zhuge Mengmeng was eating slowly with a bowl of fish fillet porridge, and the others did not eat their staple food.

Because Su Chaoqi wanted them to stop eating staple food and eat as much fish as possible to replenish their abilities and physical strength, that's why Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning ate so much.

Now that they were not full, Su Chaoliu wouldn't let them eat any more fish, so he just ordered a lot of side dishes for the grilled fish soup.

After eating and drinking, Su Chaoliu and Zhuge Ningning were urged to go back to rest, and the staff of the B&B came over to help clean up the mess.

"What are you going to do next?" Mrs. Zhuge asked Su Chaoqi, "As long as the fish pond is left alone, this situation will happen again and again. Do you have any countermeasures in mind?"

Of course Su Chaoqi had thought about it: "I have thought about it. Fish ponds need to be inspected regularly."

The danger of fish ponds is actually much lower than that of free-range chickens and rabbits, because fish live in water and the possibility of them coming to land is very low.

Of course, it is also for this reason that the B&B did not find any second-level strange beasts evolving in the fish pond.

Now that we know it, we need to prevent the next second-level alien beast from evolving again.

Fish cannot wear rings that can detect body data like chickens and rabbits, otherwise they will break down sooner or later when soaked in water, so they can only be identified artificially with their eyes.

"I have a familiar mercenary firm here." Mrs. Zhuge took out an electronic business card and gave it to Su Chaoqi, "You can contact them for cooperation."

This is what Su Chaoqi wants. (End of chapter)
