Mantra

Chapter 250 Pangolin

When I opened the newspaper, a strong earthy smell mixed with the smell of blood came to my nostrils.

I couldn't open my eyes because of the strange smell.

After getting used to it for a while, I raised my eyes and looked at the corpse covered in blood and dirt.

I have to admit that Ah Gou's barb knife is very powerful and cruel. The entire pangolin-colored body has only one finger three fingers long and one finger wide, revealing blood lines of white flesh. Apart from that, there is no wound.

Very clean resort.

But even so, I can't praise anything, because in the wound that exposed the white flesh, I can only see the bloody white flesh and a large number of tiny parasites.

It was a very disgusting picture, and I really didn't want to look at it too much.

Because of this, I quickly found a pair of gloves and put them on. At the same time, I tied my cuffs and legs tightly, and then I turned it over like half a basketball, wanting to see what it looked like "in the end".

However, when I turned the beast's body over, the first thing I saw was not the tiny head of the pangolin, but a "sarcoma" growing on the pangolin's abdomen.

The tumor made my scalp tingle, and it was really numb.

At a glance, the sarcoma is the size of two fists and grows between the frontal abdomen of the pangolin.

The pangolin's tumor is covered with carapace the size of a fingernail, which looks like countless human fingernails.He even reminded me of the record in the "King of Medicine Handbook" about the water urn made of fingernails. Maybe the water urn is not made of fingernails, but the scales of these pangolins.

Looking at that thing, I couldn't believe it anyway, it was actually a "tumor" growing on the pangolin.

Because I am a cook, I know a little about pangolins. Although he is round and stupid and has no hair, his skin is very strong. His resistance and self-healing mechanism are extremely strong. He will basically not get sick in his life, and he will not be like People suffer from cancer and malignant tumors alike.

It may also be because of the magic of pangolins that people like to regard it as an excellent nourishing delicacy. The direct food is almost extinct now.

Of course, I'm not here to complain, so although I saw something that I didn't quite understand, I didn't want to dig too deep.

After all, we are not scientists, but cooks. The cook sees things as being edible or not.

Also because of the existence of this insight, after I have satisfied my curiosity, I don’t want to continue to study anything, and let Agou and Mao decide for themselves the rest.

So, I bit the bullet and picked up the newspaper again, preparing to re-wrap this disgusting and sad thing and throw it into the car.

But just when I was about to wrap the corpse, I suddenly saw that fist-sized tumor... seemed to move?
This time, I was taken aback.

The pangolin's corpse was right in front of my eyes. Judging from my experience, it was terribly dead. Except for the fake corpse, there was no possibility of sudden shaking.

But can pangolins "cheat corpses"?It's ridiculous to think about it.

But just when I thought it was my dizziness, the tumor covering the "nail cover" trembled again, this time at the same position, the tremor was more intense than before, and I could see it more clearly.

That vibrating feeling... It's like something alive is wriggling (harmoniously) moving inside.

The sudden behavior of the pangolin made me stand still in place holding the newspaper, so that I couldn't figure out what was going on. I spent a long time guessing that there was something tricky in the pangolin's stomach.

After a while, the nearly round tumor trembled again, this time the movement was smaller than before, but... it deepened my judgment!
I finally understood that the tumor was probably not caused by diseases such as tumors and cancers, but because there was a living creature inside, and because of the existence of this living creature, such a large one grew between the pangolin's neck. something to come.

This can't help...reminds me of that golden python again.

I don't know why, but the python that swallowed the "sieve urn" has undergone obvious mutations, and the "carp monster" that only appears in freshwater fish grows in the snake's body, which is really surprising.

And the wriggling tumor on the pangolin in front of me...what could it be wrapped in?

With this question in mind, my curiosity prevailed, and then I took out my dagger and cut lightly along the direction of the scales on the tumor, hoping to see what happened.

When the tip of my knife pierced the tumor on the pangolin's chest and neck, a thick light yellow liquid flowed out along the blade in an instant.

The liquid was as thick as blood, but far weaker than that. The liquid had no special taste, but it was also very disgusting to the eyes.

Because of the existence of the liquid, my knife did not dare to stop at all, and pulled the entire tumor apart, wanting to end these disgusting explorations early.

When I cut the tumor completely, an oval-shaped pottery fell out. Under the action of gravity, the pottery tumbled and fell outside the car, and then was smashed among the pebbles.

In the thin pottery, a dark red, fleshy mass was exposed.

That thing was covered by a layer of film, and it was still alive like the carp monster in the urn earlier.It may be because of the existence of the clay pot before, the body of that thing is already stiff, and only a certain part can continue to wriggle.

Although the strange thing was severely deformed, at first glance, I could tell from the black and red patterns on its body...it seemed to be a leech!And it is the "blood leech" of "one of the eight treasures of ghosts".

I asked myself...how could it be?
The delicacy diet in ancient times is called "eight treasures and six drinks". According to the division of five internal organs temples, these eight treasures include mountain eight treasures, sea eight treasures, grass eight treasures and poultry eight treasures. In addition, there is another "eight treasures" "Ghost Eight Treasures" exist in the world.

In fact, ghost eight treasures are edible and delicious, and they are rare delicacies in the world. However, they are either difficult to obtain or "dirty in appearance". They are often criticized by the world, and it is even more difficult to step into the elegant hall. And there are not many, and there are very few cooks who can make good ones.

For example, the previous carp monster, although it tastes delicious, is actually a pair of parasites. It tastes better than normal people think about it, but it also makes people sick. For example, the "full blood leech" in front of me, even if it can It brings you a unique taste experience, but if I tell its "mystery", ordinary people will never dare to accept it.

why?Because what a full blood leech eats is not the leech itself, but the blood in its stomach!

And the higher the blood in the blood-sucking worm's stomach, the more delicious the leech would taste.
