Boss Lin's hunt for horseshoe crabs was once very covert, and was not discovered by the horseshoe crabs involved - as expected, the couple did not come at all.
Yes, couple.
Horseshoe crabs always appear in pairs, and they are very loving couples.
Due to their huge size, they are almost certain to be found once they appear in the shallow waters around the island.
But until Lin Chou and Huang Dashan came back with the ingredients, they were nowhere to be seen.
The few people in Bai Qiong were recuperating in the open space outside the cave. The mental attack of the horseshoe crab had caused a lot of trauma to them. After a whole day, they still felt sluggish and completely unable to lift their spirits.
Then they saw a colorful fish jumping towards the mountain with its tail swaying.
"???"
The bald man rubbed his eyes,
"Boss, I'm hallucinating again. I saw a fish walking towards us with figure-eight steps."
Bai Qiongshou: "..."
Li Heigou stood up,
"It's not a hallucination."
When they got closer, everyone discovered that the fish's belly had been cut open, and there were still two legs under the wound. Huang Dashan got into the fish's belly for easy carrying, and an old face was observing through the fish's wide mouth.
Some people have funny expressions.
"say..."
This fish is one of those ocean beasts that can be identified with the naked eye and has undergone at least one alienation. Judging from its current shape, it should belong to some kind of dolphin before the cataclysm.
The body is at least 3 meters long, with flat sides. The head is disproportionately huge and almost square. There is a bony protrusion on the forehead, making it look like a square-headed battering ram, tapering from the head to the back.
Narrow, full back covered with tall dorsal fin.
It is colorful and gradient all over the body, very beautiful, and the color and texture look more like a fish-shaped gemstone.
Huang Dashan said happily,
"This fish is so powerful. The fourth-level large frigate bird is its main food. Gee, one is on the bottom of the sea and the other is flying in the sky. It's strange."
Lin Chou also came back, bringing a bunch of things with him, including the great frigate bird mentioned by Huang Dashan.
"Mahi-mahi? This thing didn't eat birds before the cataclysm. It mainly ate flying fish. The recipe has changed? So there must be a lot of flying fish on the nearby coast. Didn't you catch a few?"
Huang Dashan said proudly,
"It's necessary. The rest of the food is stored in the stomach bag of this dolphin."
"Okay, let's get the clams. That thing is a good natural pot. I don't need to grind stones to use as pots."
"Yes, yes! You can definitely rest assured that Master Shan is doing things."
Lin Chou nodded,
"Then it looks like you're pretty lucky today..."
Bai Qiong's head was speechless and choked,
"!"
From last night to now, a group of them have eaten several small rabbit-like animals, skinny as wood and as hard as old birch bark.
——These few rabbits were secretly picked up when strange beasts gathered.
In fact, we can’t blame them. Evolvers are always cautious whether they are in the wilderness or on the dark sea. In the era of cataclysm, when you come to a completely unfamiliar place, your first priority is definitely not to satisfy your appetite.
——You have to survive to have time to think about these things, right?
but...
Boss Lin is an absolute exception.
This guy doesn't have any scruples at all, especially at sea. It's like strolling in his own back garden at all times.
I remember that one time, a sea hunter who returned to Mingguang told everyone with a numb face that he happened to see a certain boss Lin sitting on the boat, making a fire and grilling fish...
God damn sits on the sea and lights a fire!
You're so awesome, why don't you apply for a job at the circus?
In addition to the dolphins, Huang Dashan’s trophies also include a bunch of silver flying fish with big wings, each of which is as long as an adult’s palm and a half, about 30 centimeters, and very plump and tender.
A clam as big as two basins, well, this is not beyond the norm, and it can be considered a minor among clams.
A bunch of shellfish, scallops and small round white crabs wrapped in kelp.
There are no lobsters that are common along the coast of Mingguang, but there is something that baffles Bai Qiongshou.
"What is this, a killer crab?"
Huang Dashan was very proud,
"How about it? It's great! These long legs and this color are so beautiful!"
Li Heigou said quietly,
"It's a bit unreasonable. Where did the spider crabs come from here..."
Bai Qiong said with a sore head,
"This thing is scavenger, so it definitely doesn't taste good."
Huang Dashan’s poisonous tongue,
"What's the matter? You've been hungry on the island for a few days. When we come here, we have to eat bran-flavored vegetables with you. You're just jealous. Let me tell you."
"..."
Come on, I'm just jealous!!
Lin Chou went over to play with the tightly tied creature, whose scientific name should have been Gann's giant crab, and found that it was actually alive and was a pure third-order marine beast.
It's just that the legs of this thing are too long, and it seems that Shan Ye's binding method is very professional, so it has no way to break free even if it has no strength.
Lin Chou praised,
"Well, this new angle and technique are really professional."
Before Master Shan could say anything, Bai Qiongshou smiled strangely and said,
"No, I don't know how many legs I have to tie or how many times I have been tied before I can practice this technique. I am ashamed of myself, I am ashamed of myself."
Shen Feng studied the spider crab with an inquiring look on his face.
"Tsk, Your Lady Queen, you have worked really hard."
Huang Dashan: Am I pretty? Do you hear me?
A gorgeous dinner, extremely sumptuous.
The strongest muscles of the frigate bird's wings and the mouth of the dolphin are combined with a fresh soup stewed with various sea vegetables, and the soup is made from ginger and clam juice. It tastes slightly milky and warm.
After one bowl, this pair of natural enemies perfectly explained in everyone's stomach what it means to love, kill, and respect each other as guests.
Mmm, delicious!
Beggar Frigate Bird, grilled Mahi Mahi with the skin on, without any condiments, the meat is amazingly fragrant.
The grilled mahi-mahi meat is especially popular. The grilled black and crispy skin is peeled off, and the meat inside is in the form of red and white strips.
This thing has been practiced with a large frigate bird all year round. The meat is so chewy that it tastes like aged beef sashimi. Every bite of the meat is juicy and fat, and the mouth is filled with fragrance.
After a satisfying meal, there is a killer crab dessert.
The long legs are full of meat. They are simmered on the charcoal fire and dipped in the seasoning oil extracted from the crab body. The taste is ruthless.
Finally, a group of people hugged their bellies and held a grilled and crispy dried flying fish in their hands, eating and chatting one bite at a time.
The dried flying fish is grilled directly over charcoal fire. The delicate slow fire grilling makes the skin crispy and the inside is moisture-free but rich in fat. It is the best dried meat and dried fish snacks that Bai Qiongshou has ever tasted.
"Oh, we can only enjoy this kind of treatment when Lin Zi goes on a mission together."
Shen Feng disagreed with Bai Qiongshou's words.
"You can't call me on a mission if you come with Lin Zi. This is a spring outing. Qinshan Martial Arts School's annual spring outing follows this process. There is no deviation at all."
"..."
"Come on, Mr. Shan is keeping watch. Let us rest as soon as possible. I hope that the horseshoe crab couple was not affected by the little fight last night and can come to the island to play tomorrow morning."
"More than that..." The bald man looked at the sky, "That was not a fight, but someone unilaterally beating us. Maybe we are in a happier mood now."
"Baldhead, do you really want to die? I shouldn't have dragged you out of the sea and left you to fend for yourself."
"Oh my dear Queen, don't be angry, what will you do if you are so angry!"
