Chapter 193 Snow Leopard Promotion, Soul of Winter
The sun sets.
In the camp at the foot of the mountain shrouded in dusk, wisps of smoke rose up.
Yeats held the chef's knife in his hand and removed the wyvern's scales and thick green hide.
A piece of red Feilong steak with beautiful snowflake texture is placed on the chopping board.
Wyverns are extremely poisonous creatures.
Any improper handling will allow the venom to penetrate into the meat, rendering it inedible.
When cooking this meat, the chef will take great risks and may be injured by the venom if he is not careful.
As the leader of the Manticore Mercenaries, Helga is well-informed and knows that wyvern meat can indeed be cooked into a delicious dish.
But even a chef certified by the Food Association needs to be careful when handling the ingredient of the pterosaur.
However, Yeats's technique in preparing the flying dragon steak was so skillful that Helga was dazzled. She was both surprised and worried, fearing that Yeats might accidentally make a mistake in the process.
Beowulf and the lynx looked on, their Adam's apples rolling.
As a descendant of a dragon slayer, Beowulf could not slay ancient dragons and real dragons, but he could easily slay a few wyverns. The dragon tendon bowstring of the Blue Fire Dragon Bow was also hunted by him personally.
Beowulf also considered whether the wyvern was edible, but quickly gave up the idea. Just by looking at its appearance, one could tell how poisonous it was. If not handled properly, it could actually kill someone!
But after being processed by Baron Yeats, the Flying Dragon steak looks like beef, bright red and attractive, with delicate texture and rich fat, which makes people drool just by looking at it!
"I say, honey, do you think that stuff is really edible?" Beowulf licked his lips.
"You can eat it if you want." The mountain cat who nearly lost his life said in a strange tone, "I will never taste a single bite!"
Next to the simple stone stove.
Yeats cut the dragon steak into small pieces and seasoned it with pepper and salt.
Pepper, a spice crop produced in the southern continent, is expensive, and even Yeats, a baron, is reluctant to use too much of it.
However, through the "Afternoon Song of the Faun" of Pan's Flute, rare crops such as pepper, chili, and Sichuan pepper can thrive even in a cold and bitter place like Morning Frost Ridge.
"It's all because of the apostle's curse. I dare not return to the territory for a while, for fear that the apostle will follow the clues and demolish my hometown."
Yeats sighed secretly.
Now that things have come to this, the only way to remove the curse is to find the [Mistletoe] during Walpurgis Night.
Yeats learned the information about the curse and mistletoe from the goddess of fun, Daisy, and he also seriously considered whether the other party was fooling him.
But with the advantage of prophecy, Yeats could conclude that Daisy's words were not false.
They even deceived their own believers, but they didn’t deceive me, the chosen one of the Mist God... Daisy is quite nice!
Unfortunately, Daisy is now a medium-level god, and can no longer personally intervene in the material world like before, otherwise, I could hug her snow-white thighs again...
Ye Zhi shook his head, cleared his mind, turned on the heat to melt the butter in the pan, and then began to stir-fry the flying dragon meat.
Gradually, the meat turned golden yellow and the aroma of fat was already wafting away. Yeats then added red wine, Minerva water, tomatoes, carrots, onions and other ingredients to stew the dragon meat in the tomato red soup with a strong wine aroma.
In order to prevent the magic power of the wyvern meat from being lost, Ye Zhi must always pay attention to details such as the temperature and the timing of adding ingredients. The difficulty is even greater than refining medicine.
But for the master gourmet chef Yeats.
No one in the world knows cooking better than him!
Gradually, the rich aroma wafts away, and the flying dragon meat exudes an attractive luster under the immersion of red wine.
Everyone present swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
[Red Wine Stewed Wyvern Meat: 4 stars. A stew made with Wyvern feather meat and red wine as the main ingredients. It has a rich taste, deep flavor, and warms and intoxicates. After eating, it restores physical strength (large) and permanently improves cold and poison resistance (small)]
"Meow~It smells so good!" The bobcat couldn't help but purr.
The wyvern that almost killed him just now turned into a fragrant stew in the blink of an eye, which made the mountain cat feel mixed emotions!
Beowulf scratched his head. Could it be that Baron Yeats was a hidden food chef? Otherwise, how could he make such a delicacy out of the meat of a wyvern?
"I can't wait!" Gray swallowed.
Ye Zhi smiled and said, "The wyvern is big enough for everyone."
Even the magical pets tasted the wyvern stew that Yeats made.
The mountain cat leaned over, sniffed the stew in the pot suspiciously, tasted it half-doubtfully, and immediately his eyes lit up.
"Meow~ This is so delicious!"
The mountain cat was shocked and said, "This is the most delicious food I have ever tasted in my life!"
The bobcat, also known as the lynx, is a carnivorous cat that feeds on rodents, hares, etc. It also preys on small wild boars and deer and is not afraid of the severe cold.
Yeats remembered that there was another kind of cat whose habits were very similar to those of the lynx, called the manul.
Of course, Yeats’s favorite cat is definitely his own snow leopard who loves cheese.
In response to the mountain cat's praise, Ye Zhi smiled and turned around to look.
Beowulf picked up a pot of stew and ate it with relish, not caring about the heat.
"My Lord Baron, I never thought you had such excellent cooking skills." Beowulf smiled. "I guess even the wyvern itself wouldn't have thought it could be so delicious!"
Helga's face was flushed, her lips were rosy, and she was speechless for a moment.
The sweet and sour taste of red wine, the richness of flying dragon meat, and the fragrance of vegetables are intertwined to form a perfect balance.
This delicious dish even made people feel satisfied and happy, and reminded Helga of the scene in the southern continent when she was wearing cool clothes and riding on the back of a lion to chase prey!
"Delicious, like a wyvern wearing red dancing shoes!"
Once again, Gray made a wonderful comment.
Ye Zhi was not surprised and asked Gray if she felt the power of her bloodline increased.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Although the wyvern has only a tiny bit of dragon blood, it can also help Gray with her training.
As expected, after mastering the ice and lightning dragon breath, Gray also mastered the poison dragon breath, and the thunder dragon breath was also enhanced to a certain extent.
In fact, Gray is not afraid of elemental conflicts, which is a very powerful ability.
It is rare for a magician to master two completely opposite elemental powers at the same time, just like ice and fire, which are difficult to coexist.
But Gray can not only master the power of multiple elements, but also switch these elemental powers freely.
This mechanism is similar to Yeats's disregard of divine conflict.
As the destined heroine in the original game, Grey can call upon all elemental powers at the same time in the later stages.
The ultimate supermodel!
“Woo——”
The snow leopard had a full meal and roared with its head raised.
Snowflakes were falling in the evening, and the cold wind was blowing in all directions.
The Snow Leopard's soul power, which had already reached a bottleneck, successfully broke through and was promoted to a three-ring commander-level Warcraft!
"Snow Leopard, shut up." Its promotion was within Ye Zhi's expectations. He reached out and stroked the silvery white snow leopard, which tilted its head back and licked Ye Zhi's palm with its tongue.
Beowulf was shocked when he saw this scene.
Just by feeding it a meal, it was promoted to a commander-level monster?
Ye Zhi can contract a king-level magical beast. This extraordinary beast taming skill must be closely related to his attainments in food feasting!
The other side.
Ye Zhi opened the panel and examined the new abilities that Snow Leopard gained after his promotion.
[Talent: Ice Shadow Sprint: Grants the Snow Leopard extreme speed and stealth in cold environments. After activating Sprint, the movement speed increases significantly, and the player can enter stealth mode in snowy environments.]
This talent, similar to Yeats's 'Dance of the Storm', is a speed-type talent that can be triggered in ice and snow.
Let the Snow Owl create artificial snow first, and then you can trigger "Storm Dance" and "Ice Shadow Rush" at the same time.
Ye Zhi's lineup and tactical match have already taken shape! [Spell: Thunder Claw: Three Rings. Channel the energy of the storm, causing the snow leopard's claw attack to produce chain lightning and cause ricochet damage to the enemy.]
Ye Zhi thought to himself, “This is really like the roar of thunder.”
Blessings are often more precious than spells and talents, because releasing blessings requires calling upon the divinity within the body.
As the sacred beast of the Goddess of Winter, the snow leopard is filled with the divinity of winter. Therefore, after being promoted to the third ring, it received a blessing of winter.
[Blessing·Winter Soul: Snow Leopard will have two forms, beast form and elemental form. In beast form, the state is improved when hunting. After opening the elemental form, the body size increases and the power of elemental spells increases. ]
Ye Zhi examined it carefully and found that this was a powerful blessing similar to the "transformation skill". After activating the elemental form, the snow leopard's combat power would increase sharply and it would be immune to most physical damage, but the mana consumption would also increase exponentially.
In beast form, the Snow Leopard's abilities are more balanced, and it is more restrained against "beast" enemies.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better to use the elemental form from the beginning and eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible?"
Yeats rubbed his chin.
In general, Snow Leopard's promotion to the third ring has brought about a significant increase in the team's overall strength.
Ye Zhi deduced that if he wanted to rely on the Wild Hunt divinity in his body to become a three-ringed knight and obtain the blessing from the Wild Hunt, he would have to hunt another three-ringed monster.
In that case, why not look for another hunting commission for a three-ringed monster?
Not only can you advance your knighthood, but you can also try out the Snow Leopard's "transformation skills" and get paid...kill two birds with one stone! (End of this chapter)
