Chapter 730 Chapter 732 Iron Plate Squid
It seems that the skin of this level 5 sea beast is not afraid of flames. Then everyone used different methods to try to make a hole in the whole piece of stump. However, after a round of trials, less than half of them succeeded in making a hole in the skin of the sea beast.
"This is too difficult! Those sword lights just now were too powerful!" Li Qinglan sighed as he watched the corpses of sea beasts gradually fall behind the flying boat.
While Ren Chong and the others were concentrating on studying the remains of sea beasts, Rong Xianxian controlled the Thousand Silks to dive into the waters below, looking for the relatively hidden remains of monsters that sank into the water. Anything touched by the Thousand Silks without strong mental fluctuations could be directly collected into the foggy space. It could be said to be silent, which is one of the reasons why the portable cave residence is much more powerful than the storage space.
After scooping up a few tentacles, Rong Xianxian checked the meat of this sea beast and found that it was somewhat similar to mollusks such as octopus and squid on Earth. It can be made into delicious food according to the method of grilled squid, or stir-fried with spicy food, or made into squid shreds or dried squid. She also carried a special formula seasoning in the misty space that can lock the spiritual energy of the ingredients. Therefore, Rong Xianxian quietly collected a lot of it while others were studying the defense of the fifth-level monster.
"Miss Rong, what are you looking at? Don't you want to try it?" Mu Qingfan saw Rong Xianxian staring at the water in a daze, so he came over and asked her.
"No, the flying boat has accelerated, and there are still people below who haven't come up yet. Should we call them?" Rong Xianxian saw that the cultivators who had just gone down to salvage the remains of the sea beast had fallen far behind the flying boat, and was a little worried that they would not be able to catch up.
"No need. I've just reminded them. They know what's going on. It would be bad if we say too much." In this vast ocean, once they fall behind, they will surely die. Even if those practitioners are greedy, they will not joke with their own lives.
Sure enough, not long after, the cultivators who went into the sea to pick up corpses returned to the flying boat one after another. Although a few of them looked a little embarrassed while trying to catch up with the flying boat, they all caught up in the end.
The food in the fairy world tastes bland and is mostly steamed or boiled. Since coming here, Rong Xianxian has only eaten simple meals stored in the space and spiritual fruits prepared at banquets. Now seeing these top-notch fresh ingredients, she can't help but miss the grilled squid, a specialty snack that could be found everywhere in the night markets before the end of the world on Earth.
As she was drooling over the snacks at the night stall, she suddenly felt a change in the concentration of spiritual energy around her, which seemed to have increased.
"Brother Ji, what are you doing?" Ren Chong looked at Ji Hai curiously.
"Eat steamed meat while it's still fresh. Not only does it taste good, but the concentration of spiritual energy in the meat is also high. Look, I have a steamer here, let's use it together!" Ji Hai smiled.
There is a dining hall on this flying boat, but most of the food in this dining hall is prepared for ordinary people and low-level practitioners. Blood Refining Realm practitioners need to eat food with more spiritual energy, otherwise it will not be of much benefit to them. Food with rich spiritual energy is expensive, so they mostly prepare it themselves.
"Although the fishy smell of the sea beast's meat is hard to get rid of, the meat is delicious. However, the skin on the surface is tough and strong, so it needs to be steamed for a longer time before it is cooked." At this point, Ji Hai sighed, "The longer it is steamed, the more spiritual energy will leak out. If we eat it raw, our bodies can't bear it. It's a pity to see all this spiritual energy wasted."
Ren Chong saw Rong Xianxian approaching with a sea beast tentacle, and stepped forward to greet her, "Miss Rong, are you planning to cook your own food as well?"
"Well, I'm a little hungry and I have food. Mr. Ren, if you don't mind, I'd like you to taste my cooking later." Rong Xianxian said as she dragged the tentacle to a spacious place, took out a pile of charcoal, used the spirit fire talisman to ignite the fire, and lit a big, bright fire. The charcoal was specially treated smokeless charcoal, and the flame was bright, warm, and very clean.
"Okay!" Ren Chong just agreed when he saw Rong Xianxian directly tied up the more than three-meter-long tentacles into a ball and threw them into the fire. His eyebrows twitched. Although the skin of this sea beast is not afraid of fire, the long-term burning will definitely burn the meat inside into dryness. How can it be eaten then?
Rong Xianxian's actions attracted the attention of many people. Barbecue is of course also a way of cooking food, but cooking food in this way will cause the most spiritual energy to be released, and the food cooked in this way is hard, dry and difficult to swallow.
Next, Ren Chong saw Rong Xianxian take out an iron plate larger than the door from the storage space and wipe it with a snow-white handkerchief. He couldn't help but ask, "Miss Rong, do you need help?"
"Not now, Mr. Ren, I will call you if I need you later!" Rong Xianxian took a look at the fire, added some more charcoal into the fire, built two platforms outside the fire, and placed the iron plates on them.
"Miss Rong, are you sure the food prepared in this way is edible?" Mu Qingfan couldn't help asking. Among the cultivators there are ascetics and hedonists who love food. There are also many restaurants and taverns that are good at making delicious food in the major cities of Kaiyuan Continent. He has never seen any of them cook food like this.
At this time, the steamer in front of Ji Hai was already emitting the unique sweet aroma of seafood. The taste was very tempting, and many people's eyes shifted to him.
Rong Xianxian fished out the burning tentacles from the fire and used a freezing spell to freeze the scorching tentacles in the cold ice. Then she took a sharp knife and cut on both sides, withdrew the spell, and found the rolled-up skin at the edge of the broken tentacle. With two "swoosh" sounds, she peeled off the hard skin that could not be cut. Then the knife in her hand spun around, and the sharp knife flashed with cold light and flew up and down, quickly cutting the tentacle, which was more than three meters long, with an average diameter of nearly one meter and more than half a meter thick, into thin slices more than ten centimeters long and three centimeters thick. Some of these slices were stacked neatly, and some were evenly spread out on the red-hot iron plate.
Rong Xianxian's hand speed was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the more than three-meter-long tentacle turned into neatly sliced pieces. "Miss Rong, the skin of this sea beast is tough and strong. You tore it off so easily?" Mu Qingfan picked up the skin that Rong Xianxian had just torn off the tentacle, with an unbelievable look on his face. The most valuable part of this sea beast, besides the inner elixir, is this layer of skin. This skin is tough and strong and can be used as a material for refining tools. However, this skin is difficult to peel off. To get a whole piece of skin, you need to remove the meat under the skin bit by bit, which is very laborious. But unexpectedly, Rong Xianxian tore off the skin like tearing paper.
