"Climb up the big tree behind and have a look. There is a strange-shaped fruit there!"
Although Gu Zheng was in the Phantom Crystal, he was really watching six directions, while the Hantan monks and his son were only responsible for running.
The fruit Gu Zheng mentioned had not been discovered by Brother Hantan and his son before. It grows on a ten-meter-high tree like a coconut, but its volume is much larger than that of a coconut. It is almost like a jackfruit.
.
Gu Zheng had never seen a fruit like jackfruit before, and he didn't know if it was qualified, but strange things should have something strange about them, at least that's what he thought.
Brother Hantan's body was originally a monkey monster, and climbing trees was easy for him. He quickly climbed to the top of a ten-meter-high tree.
It is said to look like a coconut tree, but this big tree has a very large crown, but the fruit hangs on the tree like a coconut.
Just when Brother Hantan was about to knock off the strange fruit, a golden light shot towards him and hit him right on the body.
Brother Hantan screamed in pain. The golden light made him feel pain, but it did not cause much harm to him. It just caused his body to fall from the tree.
"court death!"
Brother Hantan let out a roar, and his body rolled as he fell. He hugged the tree again and used one hand to climb the tree. In the other hand, a stick transformed from soul power appeared.
Although Brother Hantan was attacked by a sneak attack just now, he also saw clearly what the thing that attacked him looked like. The thing was only as big as a cat and looked like a monkey. It was not easy to be found even if it was hidden in the canopy of a tree.
He climbed the tree with one hand, but Brother Hantan was still very fast. He was particularly careful as he approached the tree crown again, so when the golden light shot at him again, he easily dodged it, and took the opportunity to climb up a while, holding in his hand
The stick transformed from soul power hit the golden monkey.
The stick transformed from soul power is not an ordinary stick. An ordinary stick will only cause damage when it hits the target, but the stick transformed from soul power will already cause damage when it is swung, so that the golden monkey head
He let out a cry of pain as if he had been hit by a hammer.
The golden monkey was also strong. It felt like it was hit on the head by a hammer, but it did not faint. Instead, it rushed towards the Hantan monk very fiercely. The two monkeys, one big and one small, immediately started fighting on the canopy of the tree.
Being able to fight with the Hantan monk holding a soul power stick also showed the extraordinary power of the golden monkey, but the golden monkey was no match for the Hantan monk after all. Soon he was hit by the cold pool monk's heavy stick.
With its brains knocked out, it screamed and fell towards the tree.
There were no other obstacles in the crown of the tree, so Brother Hantan immediately picked off the big jackfruit-like fruit and held it in his hands for Gu Zheng to study carefully.
"Damn it!"
After looking at the fruit with the Eye of Tao, Gu Zheng's teeth itched in hatred. The fruit itself met his requirements, but it was a pity that there was a damn liquid on the fruit. This liquid changed the quality of the fruit.
As a result, it cannot be used by Gu Zheng anymore, and this liquid has an unpleasant smell. According to Gu Zheng's judgment, it should be the body fluid of the golden monkey monster!
"Where do you want to escape!"
Brother Hantan's son shouted loudly and was about to hit the golden monkey with the soul power stick in his hand.
"Wait a minute!"
Gu Zheng hurriedly spoke out, and Brother Hantan's son also quickly put down the soul stick.
"Hmph! I want to put it into the Phantom Crystal."
Gu Zheng sneered. He felt that things must have turned around. Originally, he thought that the golden monkey monster had been beaten to death by the Hantan monk. After all, when the monkey fell from the tree just now, all of its brains were killed by the Hantan monk.
The soul power stick was smashed out.
However, Gu Zheng did not expect that the golden monkey monster that was originally thought to be killed was not completely dead. It fell under the tree and actually wanted to escape when no one was paying attention! However, because the head of the monk Hantan had been
It was beaten to pieces, and with a broken head on its head, it was staggering when walking, and it looked like it had no ability at all.
Gu Zheng felt that this guy could actually protect the fruit. Perhaps by searching for its soul, he might be able to get some unexpected gains.
Following Gu Zheng's order, Brother Hantan quickly came to the side of the golden monkey monster with the phantom crystal. Gu Zheng put the golden monkey monster into the phantom crystal with a thought.
Gu Zheng had never thought about getting any useful information from monsters that were missing half their heads, but Gu Zheng had never seen them before. How could any monster that was missing half its head not know how to do this?
die.
Fortunately, knowing the memory of the monster through the phantom crystal is not like a normal soul search, where you need to put your hands on the monster's head to explore the monster's memory. In this special treasure space, Gu Zheng only needs a thought to retrieve the phantom crystal's memory.
Ability will arrange things clearly.
The thing that frightened the golden monkey appeared with Gu Zheng's thought, but this thing surprised Gu Zheng. It turned out that the thing that the golden monkey feared the most was the Hantan monk! However, when he thought about it, Gu Zheng didn't think it was special.
It's unbelievable. After all, it was beaten like this by the Hantan monk. It's not surprising that it is afraid of the Hantan monk.
Originally, the monkey monster was seriously injured, and there was not much of its will left. Brother Hantan only tortured it a little, and it reached a state where it could be known and remembered by Gu Zheng. As soon as Gu Zheng used the magic crystal, he immediately showed its memory.
came out.
Through the golden monkey monster, Gu Zheng learned two more useful things, that is, there are three such fruits within a certain range nearby, but those three fruits are guarded by three other monsters. If it were not for Soul Searching
After finding the golden monkey monster, Gu Zheng would not know this information. After all, the three fruits were not on his planned route.
In addition to the information about the fruit, Gu Zheng also knew one thing, that is, there is a barrier in a place not too far away. This barrier will only open at night, and in this
In the barrier, there are not only powerful monsters, but also various strange plants. After seeing the golden monkey's memory of the barrier, Gu Zheng felt that the barrier might have the ingredients he needed!
After finishing the search for the soul of the golden monkey monster, Gu Zheng immediately asked the Hantan monks and his son to head towards the first fruit. There was still some time before night. If they could find suitable ingredients before entering the barrier, then this
It's also a very good thing.
The first fruit was guarded by a scorpion-like monster. Since he already knew that the scorpion monster was guarding him, the Hantan monk who climbed up the tree this time did not suffer the consequences of being plotted by the scorpion monster and escaped.
After catching the poisonous needle shot by the scorpion monster, he easily killed the scorpion monster with the soul power stick!
When Brother Hantan killed the scorpion monster, Gu Zheng couldn't help but get excited, because through the observation of the Eye of the Tao, he had discovered that the scorpion monster turned out to be a suitable ingredient!
Hearing Gu Zheng say that the scorpion monster was a suitable ingredient, Brother Hantan was naturally very happy. He threw the scorpion monster under the tree and asked his son to catch it, and then quickly picked the jackfruit-like fruit.
Dropped.
This big jackfruit-like fruit has not been contaminated by the scorpion monster. This makes Gu Zheng happy. However, there are not many places where Gu Zheng can use this fruit to cook. It only has a small part inside.
Only part of it can be used. And, it is a little regrettable that the fruit is not ripe enough, so the medicinal effect is relatively low! But there is nothing that can be done. If it is ripe enough, then it must have become the mouth of other monsters.
Delicious, it will still be held in its hands.
Although he obtained two ingredients, scorpion meat and fruit pulp, Gu Zheng could not use it to cook food for himself. The two foods still contained some special ingredients to neutralize them. As for the lack of such ingredients,
, Gu Zheng no longer worried about not getting it, because he had seen that ingredient many times on the way into the forest, but at that time because of the poor quality of the ingredient, he did not collect it.
The next thing Gu Zheng wants to do is to go to the other two fruit trees and wait until he gets those two fruits. If he can't find the kind of neutralizing ingredients, he will turn back.
Go find those ingredients and cook something for yourself early, so as to reduce the torture caused by the spirit of true fire in your life.
Things went a little smoother this time. On the way to the next fruit tree, Gu Zheng called to stop the running monk Hantan. He had discovered the kind of medicine that could neutralize scorpion meat and fruit pulp.
It’s a flower with a very thick flesh. It looks like a pomegranate flower, but it’s actually as big as a cabbage. The grade of the ingredient is mid-grade. It was precisely because of its mid-grade quality that Gu Zheng didn’t have it.
Pick it out.
Now that he has obtained something that can neutralize those two ingredients, Gu Zheng's original plan also needs to make some changes. He wants to cook food for himself first, so as to reduce the pain caused to him by his true fire spirit.
Gu Zheng ordered Brother Hantan and his son to start preparing cooking utensils, which were indispensable for cooking.
Although it is a forest environment, there is no shortage of stones here. In addition, Brother Hantan and his son have a lot of strength. Soon, a set of simple stone cooking utensils were made by Brother Hantan and his son according to the requirements of Guzheng.
Three different ingredients, among which scorpion meat and fruit pulp are both high-quality, while the flower is medium-grade. These three ingredients also need to be processed in three ways before they can be cooked together. For example
Speaking of scorpion meat, you need to roast it in the shell first, and then the meat can be used. For example, the hard skin of the fruit pulp also needs to be broken open, and after the pulp inside is taken out, it should be soaked in water. As for the meat with better quality
Thick petals need to be roasted repeatedly to force out some bad things before they can be used.
When it comes to processing ingredients, even if Gu Zheng now has the Eye of Tao, he still can't do it very well. After all, his current body is not his original body. There are many things that he has ideas about, but they are not.
Rather unfamiliar.
Water and fire are indispensable for processing food, but in a place like this, a suitable water source has not yet been discovered. As for the dead branches and leaves in the forest, it is not suitable to use it to make a fire. The smoke they produce is enough to change the original good food.
quality.
However, just because there is no suitable water source does not mean that there is no substitute. There is a plant in the forest that looks like bamboo. This plant is rich in water, and its water content can barely be used to process food.
Monk Hantan's son first used a pot made of stone to find a plant that looked like bamboo, and released water from it. Then Gu Zheng asked Monk Hantan to grind the stone out, and put the plant that looked like jackfruit into the pot.
The fruit was peeled, and a fist-sized piece of snow-white flesh was taken out and placed in a stone basin.
Let the fruit pulp soak in the basin. The next thing Gu Zheng needs to do is to deal with the scorpion monster.
The color of the scorpion monster is green, and its shell is very hard. The only thing that can be used on the whole body is its half-meter-long tail, and the hard shell on this tail cannot be solved by ancient battles alone.
It broke open, so Brother Hantan had to help him separate the tail from the scorpion monster's body.
Brother Hantan pulled out the scorpion monster's tail, and then followed Gu Zheng's request and started swinging the scorpion monster's tail. The purpose was to get rid of the venom inside, so as to avoid Gu Zheng grilling it.
When used, the venom in it will contaminate the scorpion meat.
Seeing Brother Hantan vigorously waving the scorpion tail, Gu Zheng felt quite emotional. His current body was not his original body. Otherwise, how could he need Brother Hantan's help when dealing with ingredients.
Brother Hantan quickly shook out the venom from the scorpion's tail, and Gu Zheng also put it on the grill and started grilling it.
There was no suitable firewood to use, so Gu Zheng could only use the complete natal true fire to grill the scorpion's tail, but fortunately, he already had the natal true fire spirit in his body. Although this natal true fire spirit made him
It's very painful, but at the same time it will make his natal true fire last long, so he doesn't have to worry about using fire for barbecue.
Gu Zheng had already started grilling the scorpion's tail. Flames spurted out from his palms. He shook his palms to grill the scorpion's tail carefully.
No matter how you say it, the scorpion tail is a high-quality ingredient. After being grilled by Gu Zheng, it soon gave off its fragrance, causing the Hantan monks and his son on the side to make a swallowing sound. They were basically Gu Zheng.
I have eaten meat, but the quality of the meat cannot be compared with what I have now, and the flavor is naturally inferior.
If he had enough time, Gu Zheng would roast some meat for Brother Hantan and his son to satisfy their cravings, but now he really didn't have enough time, and the pain caused by the true fire spirit in his body tortured him all the time.
The scorpion tail was quickly roasted. Under Gu Zheng's command, Brother Hantan carefully peeled off the hard outer shell of the scorpion tail. Even after it was roasted, it was still very hard and showed no sign of scorch.
The tail of a scorpion is divided into sections, and the white, tender and fragrant meat inside is very mouth-watering. Gu Zheng placed it on a clean stone aside and used a stone knife to remove the poison glands inside.
"call!"
After removing the poison glands from the scorpion tail meat, Gu Zheng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. His current body was really useless. If he had done these things of processing food before, he would have been so tired, but
Now this tired situation is real.
Although he was tired, Gu Zheng could endure it. He didn't dare to rest, so he started to grill the petals. This kind of grilling of petals was much less difficult than grilling scorpion tails.
The petals began to lose water under the scorching heat of the ancient fire, and a peculiar floral fragrance spread.
It didn't take Guzheng much time to roast the four petals. After he finished roasting the petals, he started slicing all the ingredients.
The true fire of destiny once again spurted out from Gu Zheng's palm, scorching the stone pot on the temporary stove.
Since there is no suitable oil, the ingredients that will be stir-fried this time do not need oil.
When the temperature in the stone pot was right, Gu Zheng put the fruit pulp in first. When the originally pure white flesh was fried to a slightly yellow color and a little moisture was produced in the pot, Gu Zheng added the flesh of the scorpion tail.
He also put it in, and after increasing the firepower and stir-frying, he also put the cut petals in.
The aroma keeps getting stronger as Gu Zheng stir-fries the three ingredients. It is a sweet aroma that is different from fruity, meaty and floral aromas, but it has an indescribable charm and is attractive.
covet.
Brother Hantan and his son were reluctant to take their eyes off the pot, but they had to move their eyes away. Because the food cooked by Gu Zheng was too fragrant, a group of wild boar-like monsters rushed towards them.
Hantan monks and his son fought with sticks transformed from their souls. Those wild boar-like monsters ranged in size from big to small, and from strong to weak in strength. However, no matter whether they were strong or weak, they were not Hantan monks anyway.
The father and son's opponents, the Hantan monks and his son, who were holding soul power sticks, were like tigers entering the flock of sheep. They raised and lowered their sticks to harvest the lives of those wild boar monsters, without even waiting for the dozens of wild boar monsters to harm Gu Zheng.
, they had already killed all the wild boar monsters.
When the Hantan monks and his son, who had killed the wild boar monster, returned to Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng's food was finally cooked.
"Why!"
Looking at the fragrant food, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh. If he had the water control technique, even though he only used three ingredients to cook this time, he could also cook these things, which would greatly improve his cooking ability.
A food cultivator with his own strength! But it is a pity that since he does not have the Water Control Technique and only has the Fire Control Technique, although the food he cooked this time has good medicinal effects, it is far from the level of a food cultivator.
