Qinglong held the lobster leg and tilted his head to chew it. He pulled the meat out of the shell while chewing the lobster leg. The slightly transparent lobster meat was piled on the round table. Soon, the round table could not hold more. Jingnan and his friends had to make a few large wooden tables to pile the lobster meat.

Du Heng skillfully cut the lobster meat into pieces and placed them on a plate. At first, he put some softened vermicelli on the bottom of the plate. However, as more and more lobster meat appeared on the table, he was no longer able to spread the vermicelli. He could only spread the lobster meat cut into even sizes on the large plate and then pour the prepared garlic sauce on it.

Xiaoxiao quickly reminded Du Heng: "Chirp, chirp, it's steamed!" As soon as the words fell, Chonghua jumped out: "I'll do it, I'll do it!" He was serious about eating and very active!

The steaming steamer was opened, and Chonghua took out the white porcelain plate from it and handed it to Mao Buyan who was standing beside him. Mao Buyan held the plate and said, "The food is here~~"

The lobster meat is stained with slightly yellow garlic paste. After steaming, the lobster meat changes from slightly transparent to milky white. The shrimp meat is stained with sauce. Pick up a piece of shrimp meat with chopsticks, and there is a wisp of white steam floating on the trembling meat. Put it in your mouth while it is hot. It is fresh and tender! After eating, taste it again, and the sweetness of the shrimp meat still lingers in your mouth.

As expected of a lobster in the late stage of out-of-body experience, the texture of the meat is simply amazing!

The lobster seemed to come alive in the mouth. The generals picked up the lobster with chopsticks as fast as raindrops. In a few bites, most of the lobster meat on the surface was gone.

Jing Nan always finds the essence of Du Heng's dishes. He immediately noticed the difference between the vermicelli under the lobster meat. He slowly picked up a mouthful of vermicelli and put it into his mouth. The vermicelli had been soaked before steaming, and it was chewy and springy. The vermicelli absorbed the lobster and sauce, and had the right amount of saltiness and a rich garlic aroma, which left a lasting aftertaste.

Jing Nan put a piece of vermicelli in Feng Gui's bowl: "Xixi, try this." Feng Gui actually didn't like this bland dish, he preferred red and spicy dishes. But it was Jing Nan who picked up the dish, and Feng Gui gave a good review after taking a bite: "Hmm, it's delicious."

Jing Nan narrowed his eyes and said, "Kanglongyuan is a good place. The things here are all very good." Feng Gui smiled and said, "Ten thousand years ago, Xiaoyu crossed Kanglongyuan without the help of the two of us."

Xuan Yu said it lightly, but in fact, only he knew what he had experienced. Otherwise, how would he know that sea pigs are delicious?

Du Heng held a small bowl in his hand, with half a bowl of shrimp meat in it. He called out to Xiaoyu who was still concentrating on chewing the shells: "Xiaoyu, come down and eat."

Xuan Yu was knocking on the joint of the shrimp leg. The joint was a little small for him, but the hardness of the joint was very high. If it was an ordinary crayfish, Xuan Yu would have thrown away this hard and difficult joint. But this lobster was too big, and the meat in the joint became very large and very chewy.

This piece of meat tastes very good when used as sashimi, and no one is willing to throw it away. This results in Xuan Yu gnawing on it with his teeth bared, and at first glance, Long Jun is gnawing on it with his mouth open, intoxicated.

Hearing Du Heng's call, Xuan Yu took out the bitten joint from his mouth. His claws got stuck into the joint, and after a slight pry, a ball of crystal-clear meat flew out of the joint and fell into the wooden basin that had been prepared long ago.

Xuan Yu responded, "I'm here." He turned into a human form and landed beside Du Heng. Du Heng smiled and gave him a large piece of shrimp meat: "Is it delicious?"

Xuan Yu looked at Du Heng with a smile: "It's delicious, better than the lobsters I've eaten before."

Hearing Xuan Yu's words, Zhou Lianhua said, "That's right. We used to only eat shrimp raw. Although it's sweet, it doesn't taste good if you eat too much. The lobster cooked by Mr. Du is still the best!"

Zhou Xiyue disagreed, "I think Long Jun's sashimi is delicious. Every time he slices sashimi, I can eat a lot."

Zhou Lianhua said disdainfully: "Of course Long Jun's sashimi is delicious, but you don't even know who Long Jun is!"

Everyone was busy eating garlic lobster meat, and Du Heng turned on the stove twice to steam the shrimp meat. After everyone finished eating, new shrimp meat would be put on the stove to be steamed, and plates of steamed prawns would flow to the table.

The generals were finally happy. They opened their bellies. Since Du Heng lost the Magical Sky Pearl, they have never felt full again. They should be able to eat their fill this time!

After a while, they steamed the meat of three legs and ate them. Together with the two legs that they had eaten raw before, there were now three of the eight long legs left.

The generals enjoyed the meal very much, except Feng Gui who was not very happy.

In Du Heng's opinion, seafood is best suited to blanching or steaming. Since they entered the sea, he has made many dishes using local ingredients. However, among these dishes, there is not a single one that Feng Gui really likes. Feng Gui likes spicy dishes, and even if there are chili peppers in the dishes these days, they are only used as embellishments.

Feng Gui tasted a few pieces of shrimp meat and then put down his chopsticks. He sat beside the table with tea in his hand and drank it slowly. Others were eating happily, but Feng Gui looked so lonely.

Du Heng suddenly felt that he was too bad to Feng Gui! With so much shrimp meat, couldn't his Xixi have one? Thinking of this, Du Heng clapped his hands suddenly. He was going to make spicy lobster meat!

He took out half a lobster leg and danced the kitchen knife on the lobster meat. After a while, the shrimp meat turned into pieces of evenly sized meat.

Du Heng went to the refrigerator again. Feng Gui thought he was going to look for other ingredients. When he saw Du Heng coming out with onions, ginger and garlic, he didn't pay much attention.

It was not until the oil in the pot was heated and Du Heng pushed the onion, ginger, garlic and spicy hot pot base into the pot that Feng Gui realized that Du Heng was making spicy dishes! Feng Gui, who was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, smiled and cleared his throat: "Actually, you don't have to do it just for me..."

Xiaoxiao and the others were holding plates and shouting slogans: "Go! Spicy Shrimp!" Fenggui glared at the two of them: "You two, take it easy!"

A layer of red oil appeared in the pot, and the pungent smell stimulated Du Heng's nose to run. Xuan Yu, who had not planned to smoke in the cave, once again used the formation, which drew the green smoke in the cave out of the cave, and Du Heng felt better.

Stir-fry the lobster meat in the pot. It takes less than half a cup of tea to cook the lobster meat. The cooked lobster meat is ruddy in color, and the texture of the meat is covered with chili oil. It smells fresh and spicy, and chews it and it has an endless aftertaste.

Tai Shuhong’s face turned red after taking the first bite: “Delicious!” It was spicy and refreshing, and he couldn’t stop eating it.

Feng Gui held the large bowl with chopsticks in a reserved manner. He said to Du Heng, "You don't have to make spicy food for me."

Chonghua quietly reached out his chopsticks from the side, and Feng Gui put the chopsticks on the back of Chonghua's hand: "This is what Du Heng made for me!!"

Xuan Yu and the others burst out laughing. Feng Gui, who said one thing and meant another, was really funny. He was obviously looking forward to it, but he had to put on such a proud and spoiled look.

With the spicy and delicious lobster meat, Feng Gui's appetite was aroused. He ate one bite after another: "Hmm! Lobster is still very delicious!"

Hearing Feng Gui say this, Du Heng had something to say: "In my hometown, there is a kind of crayfish, which is only two inches long. It looks similar to this lobster, but there is not much meat inside. Every summer, all kinds of crayfish restaurants appear in the streets and alleys. Boiled crayfish, spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish, thirteen-spice crayfish... There is nothing they can't make, except what you can't think of. Pair it with some beer, invite three or five friends, and everyone can peel lobsters while drinking, and chat until half the night!"

As soon as Du Heng finished speaking, everyone looked at him expectantly. Du Heng touched his cheek in confusion and said, "Do... what?"

Xiaoxiao pointed at the big lobster outside the cave and said, "Du Hengheng, there are so many shrimp meats outside. The clear water lobsters and garlic lobsters you just mentioned, prepare them!"

Du Heng: !!! Oops, did he shoot himself in the foot? But looking at the light in everyone's eyes, he felt that he should satisfy everyone.

However, there is a difference between eating small crayfish and big lobster. The important thing about eating small crayfish is the sense of ritual. After peeling off the shiny shrimp shell, experiencing the baptism of the soup, and going through untold hardships to finally eat the delicious meat, the sense of satisfaction cannot be described in words.

When eating lobsters, especially such large ones, Xuanyu has already done the complicated shelling steps in advance. All you get is the fresh and tender shrimp meat, which is soaked in various soups. The satisfaction you get is different from that of eating small crayfish.

To make clear water lobster, you only need to boil the lobster meat in clear water, and then dip it in Du Heng's special dipping sauce. The sweet and fresh shrimp meat and the salty and fresh sauce collide in your mouth, making the shrimp meat even more delicious.

Garlic lobster and steamed lobster with vermicelli and garlic sauce are similar in nature, except that garlic lobster has large pieces of shrimp roe added to it. With the addition of shrimp roe, the taste of garlic lobster is more mellow, and the fresh and fragrant taste lingers on the lips and tongue for a long time.

Du Heng also cooked a pot of rice. The generals mixed the broth of the garlic lobster on the rice. Soon they had eaten several bowls of rice.

Thirteen-spice lobster is similar to spicy lobster meat. Du Heng just replaced the spicy base with dozens of spices. According to Xiaoxiao, the thirteen-spice lobster tastes like chicken. Du Heng thinks this is mainly because he has cooked hairy eggs with the same recipe before, and Xiaoxiao remembers the taste of hairy eggs.

In addition, Du Heng has also innovated spicy and sour kimchi lobster, soy sauce lobster, sweet and sour lobster, and crispy lobster balls coated with flour and fried.

After these dishes were cooked, there wasn't much lobster meat left! Although this was the desired effect, Du Heng was still surprised. He looked at the mountain of lobster shells and said in amazement: "I actually... cooked such a big lobster!"

This might be the time when Du Heng has cooked the most dishes. Although there are not many dishes, the quantity is definitely ranked first!

Lianhua and Xiyue, who had the biggest appetite among the generals, were full. Compared to eating three bowls of rice, the Zhou brothers preferred to have a hearty meal like this. At this time, the lobster meat turned into abundant spiritual energy flowing in their bodies. They sat lazily on the ground, back to back: "Ah, it's so comfortable."

The feeling of spiritual energy flowing in the body was indeed comfortable. Du Heng also felt warm inside, so warm that he wanted to take a nap.

Xuan Yu saw everyone's distress, and he said, "Let's take a break here today, and then we can move forward." Xuan Yu's words received an enthusiastic response from everyone, but there was also a little worry in the enthusiasm: "There are so many sea beasts at the bottom of Kanglong Abyss, is it really okay for us to stay here?"

Xuan Yu said calmly: "Don't worry, this is the lair of a sea beast. Although it is dead, its breath is still there. The surrounding sea beasts dare not approach." Even if a sea beast approaches, he, Jing Nan and Feng Gui are here. Ordinary sea beasts should not be able to do anything to the three of them.

Xuan Yu was right. After Du Heng and the others had rested in the cave, the fork in the road was calm. They could no longer distinguish between day and night. They were now acting on instinct. After resting enough, they once again set out on the road ahead.

Du Heng had a question before, that is, how wide is Kanglongyuan? No one can answer this question for him. If he asks Yan Lingyuan, Yan Lingyuan may tell him how long the three mermaid paths are. But the length of the mermaid paths cannot be counted as the width of Kanglongyuan, because they are not walking in a straight line.

Their good luck only lasted on the first day. After leaving the lobster's nest, their good luck ended.

There was a turbulent current at the bottom of Kanglong Abyss, and the powerful sea beasts lurking in the turbulent current interfered with the direction of the compass. Zhou Lianhua put down the array disk in his hand in frustration, and said depressedly: "Lord Dragon, the array disk is not working."

As he said this, everyone was trapped under a cliff by the turbulent current. Jing Nan propped up the barrier, and gravel and sand hit the barrier with crackling sounds, and even tiny cracks appeared on the outermost barrier.

Xuan Yu said: "There are magnets in Kanglongyuan. Magnets will affect the operation of compasses and disrupt water flow. I was once trapped in a magnet field for several days and could not get out. After this turbulent flow passes, we will continue to move forward. Xixi remember, and make marks as you go."

Feng Gui nodded: "Well, leave it to me."

After waiting for an hour, the sand and rocks that blocked out the sun became much smaller, and everyone gathered their strength and continued to move forward. They passed through one fork after another and crossed one gully after another. Du Heng didn't know how long he had been walking, and he felt that his strength was greatly depleted. He didn't know if he was hungry or what, but he felt a little inexplicably irritable at the moment.

Du Heng was not the only one who felt this way. When everyone stopped to rest for a while, Feng Gui suddenly cursed. Everyone looked over and saw Feng Gui looking at the rocks in front of him with a sullen face: "How can this be possible."

Xuan Yu looked at Feng Gui: "What's wrong?"

Feng Gui swung the magic sword in his hand and carved an arrow on the stone on the side. Less than an incense stick of time after the arrow was carved, it disappeared!

Feng Gui was so angry that he almost smoked: "From the beginning, I suspected that we were going in circles. But I couldn't find my mark. I thought that the terrain at the bottom of Kanglongyuan might be similar. In the past, I always made marks before leaving. Just now, I thought I would make a mark early since I have nothing to do. But the mark disappeared before my eyes! Hey!"

Jing Nan stretched out his sharp claws and scratched the stone, leaving three deep claw marks on the stone: "Xiao Yu, come and see if we are trapped or if there is a magic treasure in this rock that can repair it?"

Xuan Yu stepped forward and stood in front of the stone. He placed his hand on the stone. As waves of light blue spiritual light overflowed, the claw marks on the stone gradually disappeared. Xuan Yu put down his hand, his face solemn: "I'm trapped."

This group of powerful people who have reached the level of Out-of-Body Realm were trapped in an illusion without knowing it! Feng Gui laughed at himself, "What should I say at this time?" Jing Nan said helplessly, "I can only say that Kang Longyuan is a master craftsman. Is this possible?"

After saying this, the two turned to look at Xuan Yu: "Were you also trapped in the illusion last time?"

Xuan Yu's face was calm: "There are so many magnetic arrays at the bottom of Kanglong Abyss. The one that trapped me before should not be an illusion. After all, I was trapped for a few days and walked out without breaking the array."

Xiaoxiao collapsed and said, "I can't walk anymore. I don't want to walk anymore." He has been walking since he left the cave. His spiritual energy is being consumed rapidly. Xiaoxiao feels that the lobster meat he ate has been digested long ago.

Mao Buyan had good eyesight. He saw turbulence surging in the fork road not far away. He reminded everyone, "The turbulence has started again."

This time the turbulence came fast and violently. Just as Jing Nan had put up the barrier, the sand and gravel hit it. The barrier flew up in the darkness, and Jing Nan was shocked: "Ouch! What happened!"

This was the first time he encountered such a situation. Although his barrier technique was not as good as Xuan Yu's, he was not blown away by the turbulence in the illusion? ! Jing Daxian'er suffered a heavy blow in his fox life.

Jing Nan's barrier was swept away, and the people inside the barrier suddenly lost control, and everyone fell into each other. In the spinning world, Du Heng only had time to hug the two children closest to him. Amid Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu's screams, Du Heng was held in Xuan Yu's arms.

The barrier rolled in the sand and stones, sometimes hitting rocks and sometimes rolling in the fork. Everyone should break the barrier to stabilize their bodies. But once the barrier was broken, they would most likely be blown away.

No one knew how many times the barrier had been hit, nor how many times they had been tossed around in it. They only knew that when it finally stopped, everyone was piled together in a daze.

Du Heng lay on his side on the top, and he and Xuan Yu tightly protected the two children. Xiao Xiao and Xiao Yu were squeezed dizzy between the two of them. When Du Heng let go of his hand, Xiao Xiao hummed: "Dizzy..."

Xuan Yu reached out and touched Du Heng's face: "Are you okay?" Du Heng recovered: "I feel a little uncomfortable..."

Feng Gui's voice came from below the two of them: "Get up... I feel even worse..."

Du Heng looked down and saw that he was sitting on Jing Nan's back. Jing Nan's head was stuck under Yun Zheng's arm, and he struggled for a long time before pulling it out. Feng Gui's thigh was pressed down by Xuan Yu, and he climbed up after Xuan Yu stood up.

Yun Zheng and the others grabbed my arms and I pulled your legs, and everyone fell to the ground in a mess. When everyone got up, they were all covered in dust. Lying at the bottom were the Zhou brothers, poor Lianhua Xiyue, whose ribs were broken.

The barrier was stuck between two huge rocks, and in front of the rocks was a deep ditch. If it weren't for the two rocks blocking the way, everyone would have rolled into the ditch, and by then it wouldn't just be Lianhua Xiyue who would have broken ribs.

Everyone wiped their sweat with lingering fear and looked to the other side of the boulder. They saw a stone wall about five meters high on the other side, and there was a cave on the stone wall.

Seeing this cave, Xuan Yu frowned slightly: "Hmm?"

Du Heng asked, "What's wrong?" Xuan Yu said, "I've been here before." Xuan Yu pointed to the cave in front of him and said, "I was trapped here for several days. Doesn't that cave look like a long snake's mouth? It's just..."

Everyone looked towards the cave and saw that there was indeed a bulge above the cave. This bulge really looked like a snake head. Everyone asked, "Just what?"

Xuan Yu frowned even more tightly: "But if I remember correctly, the place where we came down was closer to the mermaid tribe, and the place where I was trapped was closer to the dragon tribe."

Jing Nan looked at Xuan Yu strangely and said, "Are you stupid? Our barrier was swept away by the turbulence. Is there any problem with the turbulence moving in the direction of the dragon clan?"

Xuan Yu looked at Jing Nan calmly and said, "Have you forgotten? We were trapped in an illusion before."

Feng Gui said: "Didn't you also get out for unknown reasons without breaking the formation that year? Maybe we are lucky too and were also swept out by the turbulence." Feng Gui said this with confidence, because he is a lucky beast, and he and Xiaoxiao have always had good luck.

Xuan Yu hesitated: "I always feel something is strange."

Feng Gui picked up the sword and carved a mark on the huge rock next to him: "Are we in an illusion? Confirm it..." Before he finished speaking, the sword mark on the rock disappeared.

Feng Gui sighed: "Well, we really haven't been able to get out of the illusion."

Du Heng consoled her, "Since we have confirmed that this is the place where you were trapped, let's rest here for a while."

Xiaoxiao cried, "Long Jun, let's take a break. My legs are almost broken."

Xuan Yu thought for a moment, and then he said slowly, "I'll go explore the cave." The illusion array obscured their consciousness and blinded their senses. If there was a sea beast in there, he could get rid of it in advance.

The closer they got to the cave, the more goose bumps they felt. An inexplicable chill was seeping out of the cave. Xiaoxiao, who had initially suggested taking a break, slowed down her pace and said, "I don't want to go in."

Du Heng looked up at the cave entrance. Previously, they could only see the cave entrance as a wide-open snake mouth. Now, as they got closer, the lines on the snake's body near the cave entrance were clearly visible. A timid person would shudder at the sight of a stone snake eye.

Jing Nan said, "The yin energy here is so strong, maybe the core of the illusion array that trapped us is here." What Jing Nan said made sense. Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. His barrier was easily swept away by the turbulent flow. Isn't it strange enough that the barrier didn't stop anywhere else, but stopped here?

At this time, Xuan Yu had already walked to the entrance of the cave, and there were thumping sounds of footsteps coming from the entrance. There really was something inside!

But when everyone probed their spiritual sense into the cave, their spiritual sense seemed to be blocked by something. Within the range of their spiritual sense, they saw several ice-blue feet with barbs slowly crawling out.

When the thing in the cave appeared before his eyes, Du Heng looked strange. Look what he saw? He saw a king crab that was taller than him!

Look at the shape and the long legs. Except for the wrong color, what else could this be but a king crab?! The crab looks scary, but its movements are gentle and innocent.

Zhou Xiyue's scalp tingled: "It's a phantom spider! Run! If there is one of these things, there will be countless more!"

Xuan Yu put away his sword and retreated: "Let's go, the cave is occupied by the phantom spider, let's find another cave." Du Heng was puzzled: "Why? What happened to the phantom spider?"

Xuan Yu said: "The phantom spider can produce spider silk, which can cause hallucinations. The mildest case will cause unconsciousness, and the worst case will die on the spot. There is no need to tangle with them here, let's retreat."

Feng Gui said: "And this thing is not afraid of fire. This must be the sea beast that the aquatic tribe hates the most."
