After Lu Yu got up, he looked at Lulutis floating in the air in front of him and yawned.
I don’t know why, but my dream last night was full of black mist and tentacles everywhere.
In the dream, he played hide-and-seek all night with the tentacles that always wanted to catch him.
Now that I'm awake, my mind is still filled with weird images of a bunch of tentacles trying to wrap themselves around.
Ignoring Lulutis, Lu Yu walked to the edge of the tree hole and took a look outside.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright. The snow that suddenly fell last night had stopped at some point, and there was not much snow.
The first snowfall filled Lu Yu with a sense of crisis.
Without him, he would not have prepared any food reserves for the winter.
Lu Yu sighed, walked to his straw nest, and began to count the food he had.
Pine nuts, two mineral water bottles.
Unknown, but I have personally observed that other animals can eat 13 fruits without any problems, and the sizes are still uneven.
There is only one squirrel left that was ransacked by Lu Yu.
"Too few..." Lu Yu was worried.
"Are you worried about food?" Lulutis' spiritual magic turned on the connection mode without warning.
Lu Yu, who was immersed in the daily routine of machinery, finally came to his senses. There was a new guest in his tree hole last night.
Thinking of the squirrel that Lulutis ate last night, Lu Yu couldn't help but have a headache.
One more person to share the food with...
"are you hungry?"
"Even if my body becomes like this, I still need to maintain energy intake."
Lu Yu also felt that he had asked a very stupid question.
He poured out half a bottle of pine nuts, placed them in a lunch box and a small bowl, and divided them equally.
"Food is in short supply. We can only eat so much today."
Lulutis looked at the pine nuts in her bowl and was silent for a while.
"Thank you for the food. I won't eat it for free. If you need my help, you can tell me."
Lu Yu competed with the pine nut shells with his fingernails and laughed when he heard Lulutis's voice.
I got some more useful information.
Lulutis was not willing to ask for her food in vain.
I would still thank myself after eating my own food yesterday.
This is education and a good character.
Lu Yu didn't talk nonsense: "There's not enough food. I need to stock up on rations before the cold winter comes."
"May I ask if you have a good appetite?"
Lulutis was stunned for a while and glanced at the mineral water bottle that Lu Yu used to store pine nuts.
"That weird magic container of pine nuts. At least, I can eat one bottle a day."
Lu Yu was thoughtful and probably figured out how much Lulutis ate.
"You can come and help me when I go out later. It's hard to get enough food for two people. I just hope we have better luck."
"As for this..." Lu Yu picked up the mineral water bottle and shook it, "This is not some magic container, it's just plastic?"
"Plastic, what do you mean?"
“…”
Lu Yu and Lulutis looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes... Oh, Lulutis' black mist body seems to have no eyes...
"Plastic is..." Lu Yu waved his hands irritably when he realized that no matter how he explained it, he said, "You don't need to know too much about science."
"Science?" Lulutis asked, "What is science?"
“…”
Lu Yu regretted getting entangled in this topic.
Talking about science with a magician from another world is as absurd as talking about magic with a child who grew up under the red flag.
Seeing Lu Yu's embarrassment, Lulutis stopped dwelling on the topic and concentrated on eating pine nuts.
Lulutis's tentacles are really very convenient. Each of the dozen or so tentacles picked up a pine nut, rubbed it hard, and peeled off the outer shell of the pine nut.
This multi-threaded work is extremely efficient, making Lulutis eat pine nuts one bite after another.
"Turn off your mental magic, I can hear the sound of your chewing!"
After speaking, Lu Yu handed his pine nuts to Lulutis.
"I'm not asking you to eat it, I'm asking you to peel it for me. Anyway, you have many tentacles and they are easy to use."
Lulutis did not refuse and helped Lu Yu deal with the pine nuts neatly.
Although pine nuts are sweet and delicious, they are not very filling.
Lulutis is okay. According to her, this body should have inherited the previous food intake, so she doesn't need to eat too much.
But Lu Yu is an adult after all, so eating these pine nuts with hot water is not enough to fill his stomach, let alone being half full.
"I hope there will be a good harvest today." Lu Yu secretly prayed.
Maybe it's because I've been unlucky for too long, but good luck comes as it comes.
Not long after Lu Yu and Lu Lutis left the tree hole, they found a lone wolf that was frozen solid lying on the ground. It was covered with wounds. It was unknown what it had fought with.
Lu Yu and Lulutis were very happy when they licked the buns when they went out. At least they didn't have to worry about food tonight.
The trap made by Lu Yu was very crude.
Dig a big hole and fill it with sharpened sticks.
Finally, use branches to cover up the hole.
Lu Yu couldn't make a trap that was too elaborate. This trap was the best thing he could come up with.
And the results are not bad. If a small animal slips in and jumps around, it will basically end up with a heartbroken feeling.
There are always three or two unlucky beasts falling into this trap every month.
Of course, you will never die if you step into these strange beasts, which means you will be injured and bleed.
It's just that this blood stain often leads to the arrival of some uninvited guests...for example, the white wolf.
Lu Yu would always handle the leftovers after the white wolf hunted, which even gave him the illusion that he was cooperating with the white wolf.
Facts have proved that good luck does not last forever, and the trap is empty.
Having found nothing, Lu Yu was about to turn around and let Lulutis float up to several nearby big trees to see if there were any tree holes to dig out.
The tentacles wrapped around Lu Yu's waist without any warning and pulled him back suddenly.
Before Lu Yu could realize what was happening, a small earth bag next to the area where the trap was located suddenly exploded.
A group of slightly transparent gel-like objects exudes light green luster under the light and jumps into view.
Its entire body is like a piece of jellybean that has been bent by someone, showing an arch, and a strange green light flashes from the front end of the body.
The moment before the green light completely lit up, Lulutis's tentacles stabbed out like a pointed cone.
The sharpness of Lulutis's tentacles was beyond Lu Yu's imagination, and she easily penetrated the monster's body, like a skewer of candied haws.
"Puff" sounds were heard one after another, the monster's body quickly shriveled up, and a large amount of light green juice flowed out of its body and dripped to the ground.
"Don't be stunned. Didn't you bring a tool to catch the juice?"
Lulutis's voice made Lu Yu rush into action.
He took out a bottle from his backpack and looked at the thick green juice. He hesitated for a moment and put the mouth of the bottle against the hole where the leaking monster was penetrated.
Touching the monster's body lightly with your fingers, it was very cold, and the touch was almost like pressing a piece of gel.
After Lu Yu filled the bottle, the juice became less and less. As Lulutis slowly pulled out the tentacles, the monster's half-shrunk body fell to the ground.
"What is this, slime?"
After Lulutis kept waving her tentacles to shake off the mucus, Lu Yu finally found the opportunity to ask his doubts.
Lulutis said "Oh" in surprise.
"Do you still know slime?"
"Know something."
"It is indeed a slime. This is an omnivorous jungle slime. Under normal circumstances, it can survive by absorbing nutrients from the sun, the earth, and vegetation."
"But... once winter comes, in order to ensure that they have sufficient energy, they will start hunting mode."
"After an unsuspecting person like you is paralyzed by him, he will secrete a large amount of corrosive liquid... Anyway, even the bone residue will become its nutrients in the end."
With lingering fear, Lu Yu looked at the pool of slimes on the ground. He had indeed seen the exposed green roots just now, but he was so anxious to see the trap that he ignored this fatal detail.
"The remaining body tissue of slime can be eaten. I am going to take it back... You know slime, so can you cook slime?"
Depend on!
This is too over the top.
How to cook this sticky stuff?
Wait a minute, wait a minute...
Glue-like…
Is it possible that after cooking it, you can taste the gelatinous texture similar to that of pork knuckles after they are stewed until they are tender?
It was over. When he thought of the pig knuckles, tears welled up in the corners of Lu Yu's mouth.
A month, a whole month!
He really wanted to eat meat to his heart's content, such as pork belly and rock sugar elbow with a big bowl of rice.
"Are you sure you can eat it?" Lu Yu asked.
Lulutis said: "When I attended the imperial palace banquet, I ate at least three slime-related dishes and four slime-related desserts."
"Slime absorbs energy and converts it into pure magic elements. It is a treasure. There is even an industry dedicated to raising slimes in captivity. Do you really not know this?"
"How do I know? I saw a living slime for the first time today!" Lu Yu explained.
"This means that no one over there has ever eaten slime? What a food desert. You don't even dare to develop slime dishes."
I don’t know if there is something wrong with Lulutis’ mental magic, why did this topic turn to a food desert?
There is no slime dish, it means we have never seen slime before.
Can't bear it.
When Lu Yu graduated and left school, he carried a backpack full of bottles and cans with all kinds of condiments, because he was a delicious food.
The food in the school cafeteria fed Mr. Ke, and Mr. Ke had to pass a sanity test, which tortured Lu Yu's taste buds all the time, and eventually forced Lu Yu to learn how to use his hands.
Isn’t it just a slime? Be him!
He dug out tree holes and robbed a bunch of squirrels.
Lulutis put a bunch of slime on her tentacles and raised it above her head.
After working for a long time, the two people left this area with the joy of harvest. Before leaving, Lu Yu made some disguises for the trap, looking forward to harvesting the next time he comes.
