Above The Sky

The battle that followed was really lackluster.

After cutting off the indescribable organ, even if the leader sea otter can turn his body into a hardness close to that of a metal rock, this does not prevent the continuous flow of blood, and it is obviously completely incapable of fighting.

Then again, who else is there?

And after Ian's condescending slash, there was no fight. He dived into the bottom of the sea with the momentum of the forward rush, and returned to the shore smoothly with the panicked screams of the sea otters.

In fact, this is the most dangerous part, because Ian is just a sublime apprentice who has not yet reached the first energy level. He is facing the other two monster-level sea otters in the sea. The result can not be said that everyone is happy, it can only be said that it is terrible.

But beasts are beasts after all. After seeing the leader howling miserably and suffering heavy losses the moment they fought, the first reaction of the two sea otters was to turn around and run away with their respective beasts!

If it encounters other monsters robbing territory, or encounters a giant predator like the Iron Shark, the sea otter community may fight to the death with the attacker... But the speed at which Ian turns and disappears is too fast. So fast and direct that they didn't even notice where the attacker was now.

Unknown is the biggest terror, especially the injury of the leader is the terror of terror. In order to avoid the same ending for themselves, they are a little smart but not particularly smart. They naturally run first.

Of course, Ian actually knew another reason.

The Mirage Labyrinth Reef Group is a huge coastal ecosystem inhabited by various monster communities. Even the indigenous people are reluctant to approach it on weekdays, calling it the "Sea of ​​No Return".

Bleeding and screaming here, the result is not so simple.

Shaking his head and shaking out the large sea of ​​water, Ian could already hear the faint neighs of other beasts, as well as the unusual turbulence in the sea not far away.

In the vision of precognition, it was only a moment. Originally, there was only a layer of light blood on his body, and he might not die. The most disabled leader, Sea Otter, was immediately surrounded by a black aura that was sure to die.

Sea otter colonies that have lost their leader must retreat - their enemies are not just Ian, but many other reef hordes as well.

But how could Ian give up his potion ingredients?

Therefore, while the other party was still struggling, causing the scarlet blood to spread in the sea, the boy who had retrieved his hand-made short gun from the shore began to aim at his target and began to throw one after another.

As usual, this kind of rough, just sharpened wooden spear, no matter how strong the impact is, will at most pierce the cortex of the leader sea otter, and I am afraid that the blood will not come out... But now, with the continuous blood loss of the leader sea otter, The body became weak, and the sturdy 'body of pure rock' could not be maintained for a long time, and the wounds and weak points on its back became more and more obvious.

Just as Ian threw the thirteenth wooden spear, Fury struggled to fight back, but was hit and the leader Sea Otter was pronounced dead.

After a week of observation, preparation and waiting, it was finally time to harvest.

"Is this the crystal bone?"

Ian's movements were quick, he immediately entered the sea, dragged the body of the chief sea otter back to the shore, and then separated and cut.

The leader sea otter weighs more than 200 kilograms. The reason why it can float on the sea is that it stores a large amount of hydrogen separated by metal-based cell activities in its body. The reef-devouring sea otter can decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen through cell electrolysis. You can dive regularly to find food, nibble on coral reefs, and keep yourself afloat.

After the sea otter died, the hydrogen in the air bag did not leak for a short time, and Ian began to deal with it.

Monsters, especially the low-level monsters of the first and second energy levels, cannot all be sublimated materials. Generally speaking, the monsters of the first energy level have only one or two potion materials at most, and some flesh and blood containing a lot of Origin.

A giant sea otter that is more than two meters high, aside from the inedible parts, the internal organs containing a lot of heavy metal toxins, can be left with about thirty or forty pounds of meat, as well as key sublimation materials.

Ian has done his homework for a long time. He skillfully cut the fur of the prey from the back along the wound of the spear, and controlled the knife to fly and cut with steady and dexterous hands, and quickly found his target at the spine.

It was a vertebra that shone with a pale silver light, showing the characteristics of a metallic lattice.

It only has a short section, but it has a tendency to spread. Perhaps in the future, when the entire vertebrae and even the bones of the whole body become such crystal bones, it can become the second-level reef-devouring sea otter.

This lattice spine can gradually transform the reef-devouring sea otter into a metal-based life. It can obtain hydrogen and oxygen by decomposing water, and absorb metal to strengthen itself.

In terms of attributes, it is a magical beast of the two series of water and soil. When used in potions, it can give people a body similar to pure rock and the ability to manipulate and decompose water.

But now, Ian easily took out this magical metal spine, then picked a rib steak at random, threw the remaining body to the bank, and quickly retreated in the direction of Harrison Harbor.

——The voices of other monsters in the reef group are already very close, and I have taken the best quality parts, and leave the rest to those who come to pick up the leaks.

Otherwise, when a group of monsters catches up, it will not be worth the loss.

"Little Ian, how was the harvest today?"

When returning to Port Harrison, the residents and city guards who met along the way greeted this little but kind psionicist with a smile: "If you find another big snail, can you sell me a piece?"

Because of the shape and expansion and contraction characteristics of conch snail meat, coastal fishermen have always believed that it has an invigorating function in that respect, and it is quite popular in the market, and has always been expensive.

"Good harvest, definitely next time!"

Ian's identity as a psionicist is not known now, but it can be said to be well known, especially the hero of the indigenous siege battle, the young city guard Scott has repeatedly reiterated that if Ian hadn't made the alchemy artillery Fix it, everything is a lie.

Now, almost everyone in Harrison Harbor knows that Ian of the White People is an extremely intelligent genius who mastered the skills of rough inscriptions and psionics at the age of nine.

And this genius is also very approachable, no matter who can say a few words, it makes people feel comfortable.

In fact, Ian didn't do anything, he just responded one by one when others greeted him, listened carefully when others spoke, and showed great interest.

What's more, he was really interested.

At this moment, Ian came home with his usual small bucket of seafood. In theory, no matter what the city guards will check, but who is really so idle? With Ian's obedient greeting, the guards at the gate let go easily.

And just like that, he took home the crystal bone and sea otter steak that covered the bottom of the barrel.

Opening the door, Ian planned to deal with the potion materials, then pack up the sea otter meat, and make some delicious food to celebrate in the evening.

"Well, what's wrong?"

But he heard a noise in his brother Alan's room, so he put down the bucket in his hand and opened the door to check the situation.

There was nothing special about it, it was just that Elan woke up after realizing that someone had entered the room.

"Brother, brother..."

After seeing Ian, the young boy with white hair and purple eyes was still a little stunned, but he showed obvious joy.

He waved his little hand and gawked at the smiling Ian.

"Looks like I'm hungry."

Ian stretched out his hand and squeezed Ellen's little face. Hearing the other party giggling, his already quite good mood became even more pleasant: "It's so smooth, do you just remember to eat?"

"Eat!" Ellen's voice was firm this time.

Ian laughed and went back to prepare the ingredients.

I have to say that the Concentration Grass given by Viscount Grant is very effective. After two courses of treatment, Elan, who was originally dazed, has become much more agile in terms of thinking and expression than at the beginning.

Although the two-year-old Elan can only speak a few simple words because of no one to teach him and sleep fans before, it is difficult to speak a whole long sentence, but there is no way, at least the current situation is more stupid it is good.

Things in the future, just wait for the future to talk about it, take care of it slowly, and it can always return to normal.

Today Ian is going to make an oyster spareribs pot - he originally wanted to make a hot pot, but unfortunately because he really can't find a hot sauce similar to chili, he can't force himself.

The bottom of the pot can't be all spicy, the mandarin duck pot is the limit, even the seafood mushroom hot pot is not enough!

Raw oysters, oysters, this stuff is really cheap for Harrison Harbor people who haven't fully developed it yet.

He can pick up a lot of them by going around the coastal reefs by himself, and they are all fine, but the sea otter ribs need to be dealt with.

The rib meat of the reef-devouring sea otter is firm and tender, with a large amount of source material, which is very different from the limb muscles that have begun to be metal-based, and belongs to the category that ordinary humans can also eat.

It looks light blue from the Predictive Vision, even if it is just ordinary salted and charcoal grilled, it is absolutely delicious, and Ian plans to marinate it for a period of time with Bayson rock salt, shrimp paste and fish sauce, which is a specialty of Port Harrison. , and finally put the rhizome juice of Xingshencao to remove fishy smell and increase the fragrance, and heat the pot to boil water while marinating it.

Obviously, there is no casserole in Harrison Harbor, but there are similar alchemy crucibles, which Ian usually uses for separation experiments. The heat conduction is uniform and it is large enough. He burns a crucible of hot water, and then adds some alchemical methods to separate and purify it. After the refined salt, turn off the heat, put the processed oysters in and soak for a minute before taking out.

After processing the pot, fry the marinated spareribs with its own oil, put it into a crucible to heat it after five mature, and pour a spoonful of lard.

Ian has long put a layer of crushed yellow berries unique to Nanling on the bottom of the pot, a kind of sour and spicy fruit similar to plums. It is very refreshing to eat alone, and the mouth will be particularly astringent, but if you add oil and stew it together , the taste is unexpectedly ok, it has a taste almost like garlic and onion.

Oil, berries, the flavors of the sea otter rib itself merged in the crucible, a peculiar aroma lingered in the house, while Ian placed the previously prepared oysters over the tumbling gravy and ribs, covered the pot, and then wait.

Slurp... gravy, fat and sauce tumbling in the pan.

Every ten minutes, Ian will add some salt water, and every time I lift the lid of the pot, a strong aroma will come. People's index finger moved, and the pot incense with great appetite has taken shape.

When Hilliard had just come to the corner of the street and was still a certain distance from home, he smelled the scent.

"...he really didn't lie to me back then."

The old knight's expression was subtle: "Is the psionicist really so amazing? Or is it that someone is born with the ability to cook? This taste... Really can be a chef."

"never mind."

After stopping to think for a while, Hilliard shook his head: "It's a good thing anyway, cooking things don't need to be as clear as I think."

In a cheerful mood, he opened the door.

"I am back."
