Under Yuan Xi's eager gaze, the eleven or so people took a piece of meat each. After eating it, they tasted the difference and couldn't help but look at Eighteen.
Eighteen, who was a little skeptical at first, was now convinced. The tongue will give the most real feedback on whether something is delicious or not, and the barbecue made by Miss Xue is extraordinary delicious.
And she said this is not her true level.
If she uses all her skills, how delicious would the barbecue be?
Just thinking about it, several people couldn't help but look forward to it.
Just as they could taste the flavor of a piece of meat, it was gone. Everyone felt as if they had not eaten anything. No, it was even more painful than not eating anything!
Once you've tasted something like this, everything else will seem a little off.
As Shi Ba ate, he couldn't help but ponder the ratio of ingredients in the barbecue marinade. He already knew what ingredients Miss Xue had used, but how did she create that flavor?
As a chef, every time he eats a delicious dish, he can't help but analyze how it is made.
He will not let go of it until he has figured out the delicacy, replicated it, and created his own unique style. Otherwise, he will always be thinking about it.
This ingredient must be Miss Xue's secret. If he asked, it would seem very nice and sensible, but he really wanted to know.
Eighteen was lost in thought when he suddenly heard someone exclaim, "Eighteen, the meat is burnt!"
He suddenly came to his senses and looked at the burnt fire rat meat he had roasted, feeling annoyed.
Fourteen asked him, "What are you thinking about? I've already called you several times."
Eighteen shook his head: "Nothing."
Twelve guessed it, glanced at Xue Huan, and said with a smile, "What else could it be? Don't you know Eighteen's personality? He's a cooking geek. He just tasted the delicious barbecue made by Miss Xue, and he must be thinking about how to make barbecue as delicious as Miss Xue's."
Xue Huan heard this and said, "If you want to know, just ask me directly."
She never keeps these secrets, and she would be happy if others could learn her recipes, because that would mean there would be another person who could pass on this delicious food.
Eighteen looked over in surprise: "Is it really possible?"
Xue Huan directly told him the ingredients for the marinated barbecue, "You can try it."
Fourteen said excitedly, "Come on, Eighteen, give it a try. I don't ask you to make barbecue as delicious as Miss Xue's, but just half as good as hers."
Eighteen immediately got busy happily.
Seventeen took over the barbecue work he was doing.
After eating and drinking, Xue Huan began to prepare an ointment, using the herbs that Eleven and others had picked before.
What she was going to brew was a kind of aphrodisiac, which was prepared for the red dragon crocodile.
During the brewing process, the love potion emits a sweet aroma, which is very tempting and makes people very appetizing.
This attracted more than fourteen people to look over, thinking that she was making something delicious again.
Yuan Xi helped Xue Huan by rolling up her sleeves and handing her herbs, just like an attendant, but he himself enjoyed it very much.
After preparing the ointment, Xue Huan applied it all over a cleaned fire rat, then roasted it over a fire, using the ointment as a seasoning to make it flavorful.
When the fire rat is roasted, its skin becomes golden and shiny, with a honey-like luster and a sweet fragrance that makes people drool.
Facing the greedy gazes of several people, Xue Huan smiled and said, "This is just prepared for the big guy in the magma inside, not for you to eat."
Thirteen: "What a waste."
Thirteen, who had always maintained a cold mask, couldn't help but reveal his true emotions.
Xue Huan was always more tolerant towards girls than boys, so she said, "I'll roast it for you when we get out."
Thirteen blushed and her eyes lit up a little.
"Um."
After eating and resting, the few of them entered the lava cave again. Xue Huan threw the fire rat roasted with the incense into the lava pool.
As she expected, as soon as the fire rat appeared above the magma pool, the red dragon crocodile jumped out and bit it, and then sank into the gurgling magma.
Xue Huan took the handkerchief Yuan Xi handed over and wiped her hands, "From now on, we just have to wait."
After about a cup of tea, she said, "Okay. Eighteen, throw another fire rat over there and see what happens."
This time, no red dragon crocodile showed up again.
A glint flashed across Twelve's eyes: "Miss Xue, did you tamper with that roasted fire rat?"
Xue Huan nodded. "The ointment I applied to it is a kind of incense that confuses the soul. Just a little bit can confuse a ferocious beast. Even if the giant crocodile in the magma is powerful, I can still confuse it with such a large amount."
Without the threat of the red dragon crocodile, the difficulty of picking the red scale ganoderma suddenly decreased a lot.
Fourteen was eager to try: "Your Majesty, let me go."
Yuan Xi did not agree, but pointed to fifteen.
Among all the secret guards, Fifteen is the best at lightness skills.
Fifteen put on protective clothing, wrapped tightly from head to toe. Under the gaze of several people, his figure floated lightly to the other side of the magma like a feather, and landed on the stone where the red-scaled ganoderma grew. He quickly picked the red-scaled ganoderma and put it into the storage bag that Eighteen had temporarily given him.
However, just as he was flying back into the air, a red dragon crocodile suddenly jumped out of the lava.
Xue Huan couldn't help but be surprised. She was still very confident in the love incense she made. Although it was a low-end version due to material limitations, the effect was just as strong. What's more, she used such a large amount. It was impossible for the red dragon crocodile to recover so quickly.
Yuan Xi said in a deep voice: "This is the other end."
Everyone was shocked for a moment. They subconsciously thought that there was only one strange beast guarding the red-scaled ganoderma. After all, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. A giant beast that grew up in such an extreme environment must have a strong sense of territory and it doesn't make sense for it to share its territory with its own kind.
Could the second one be a female?
Everyone guessed correctly. The second red dragon crocodile that appeared was indeed a female, and she was a pair with the first one. The female red dragon crocodile originally stayed under the magma to breed offspring. When she saw her husband suddenly fall straight down from above, sinking to the bottom, motionless, as if he were dead.
Sensing the human scent coming from above, the female red dragon crocodile knew that it must be those hateful humans who did it, and swam up angrily.
Seeing that Fifteen was about to fall into the mouth of the second red dragon crocodile, Yuan Xi's figure instantly appeared above the magma, and the spiritual energy attached to the sword suddenly pierced through the two open mouths of the red dragon crocodile.
Fifteen stepped on his sword, his body flew into the air again, and he successfully flew back.
The Red Dragon Crocodile screamed in pain and spun its body heavily, trying to drag Yuan Xi into the lava.
Yuan Xi slapped the red dragon crocodile with one hand, used the recoil force to pull out the sword, flew backward, and landed on the ground.
