Chapter 216: Survival at Sea Day 4 (2) Shrimp Paste Rice Noodles
The visibility in the sea was very good and the water temperature was just right. Following the light, Yu Miaomiao floated on the sea, maintaining a turtle-like state. Then she saw a bright red mantis shrimp, which was constantly arching the bottom of the float with its back.
From a distance, it was rubbing the small fur on its back against the bottom of the float.
Is the fuzz harmful?
She checked the durability of the float and saw no changes.
Could it be that this shrimp was kindly removing the floating dirt from the bottom of the boat for her?
This shrimp looks delicious when cooked. It would be great if I could catch it, kill it and eat it. Even steamed mantis shrimp would be delicious.
Yu Miaomiao used her flippers to kick her legs, and in one go she covered a distance of two or three meters. Her speed was indeed much faster. Looking closer, she found that the hairs on her back were actually barbs, like rose thorns.
While she was observing, the durability of the float decreased by 1 point.
There is still damage, but it comes slowly, like a rope sawing through wood.
Because of the noise just now, the mantis shrimp also noticed the presence of this human, turned its head, and pointed its two large claws at her.
The red pliers were also covered with barbs, and the teeth in the middle of the pliers had become a row of densely packed needle-like thorns.
Why doesn't it use the pliers to clamp its own float? Is it just for decoration?
Look at the hard shell all over its body.
How to kill it? Do I still need to use pigweed?
She thought she would encounter one today, and maybe many in the future. While there was only one left, she had to figure out how to kill it.
She tried to search before going into the water, but no one had ever dealt with a monster like this before.
Then she will be the first person to try it.
When eating mantis shrimp, people usually start from the abdomen, so she drilled down to take a look at its body structure.
He pointed his head underwater, pushed his feet upward with force, and dived six or seven meters.
The water was a little deeper, so the sunlight could still penetrate in. As she moved down, the mantis shrimps also swam over, waving their two rows of little feet.
The two of them were very close, with the mandible 2 meters away from her. The water flow was cut by it, and the ripples came from behind. She tried to stab backwards with the trident, but the blade failed to pierce at all.
At the same time, Mantis shrimp immediately grabbed out its claws and clamped her, but she immediately pulled back her weapon, as she felt that exposing her back was dangerous at any time.
She had to add a jet device, turned on the jet and paddled hard towards the bottom, and she came under the mantis shrimp.
At this time, she was already more than 10 meters deep under the sea. The oxygen mask had its own pressure-balancing effect, but she could feel that it was a bit deep. Looking up, there was still plenty of light, and she could observe the condition of the mantis shrimp's abdomen very intuitively.
It was still covered with a bright red hard shell and a dense layer of barbs on the surface.
It's like wearing a hedgehog armor...
It's difficult.
There seemed to be no place to attack with the trident and sword in his hands.
Do you want to try it again head-on?
She glanced around the surroundings and saw strange-shaped reefs everywhere, which was a good combat environment.
With flippers and jets, she's much faster, and her high agility makes her body more flexible.
Yu Miaomiao twisted back and forth, and after getting some distance away from the mantis shrimp, she found an arched reef in the sunlight.
After comparing their bodies, she could pass, and so could a monster as big as her thigh behind her, but that wouldn't work.
Swimming further forward, my eyes fixed on a series of holes, one big and one small, very close to each other.
She deliberately slowed down to let the mantis shrimp catch up. When she looked sideways, she saw that its claw-like mandibles were about to clamp her flippers. She used the jet device to adjust her direction and swam straight upwards with a strong kick of her legs.
The long mantis shrimp was stuck in the small hole, its body trapped, but its pair of maxillary legs were still constantly clamping in the water flow.
Only then did she see clearly that there was a thin membrane at the key point of the maxillary foot, which seemed to be the place to attack.
She still remembered killing the scorpion by chopping off its front legs and inserting its stinger into it.
But swinging a knife in the water was not as fast as on land. She swam over calmly, grabbed its still-twisting pincers with her trident, and chopped at the membrane with the knife.
The membrane broke a little with the first cut, the joint became a little loose with the second cut, and it finally broke with the third cut. As she cut it off, the originally red mantis shrimp instantly became soft and turned into a green soft-legged shrimp, and stopped moving.
If you cut off the claws, it will die? Don't you need to stir the meat with a knife?
That's right, this isn't even an exploration area, how could an ordinary monster be so troublesome? She put the corpse into her backpack, checked it in the sea, and swam back to the float.
Bathing in the sun, the seawater was immediately absorbed from her body, leaving her skin dry, cracked, and red.
It's not an allergy, more like a sunburn, the sun seems to be much stronger.
She took out the mantis shrimp and spread it on the float. Xiaoguai, who was standing by, came over nervously, sniffed it, and walked back to his cushion with no interest, "Meow--"
After eating such a big seahorse, you are still hungry?
Yu Miaomiao looked at the corpse on the ground and thought it must be delicious, so she reluctantly replied, "Since you want to eat it so much, then eat it."
“Meow—”
"Eat when you're hungry." Yu Miaomiao looked puzzled.
Seeing its eyes not looking at the mantis shrimp but at herself, Yu Miaomiao asked tentatively, "Do you want me to break it down and give it to you?"
“Meow—”
That’s not it, “You don’t want to eat this, you want to eat roasted wolf meat?” While speaking, Yu Miaomiao took out the roasted meat from the backpack and put it in its bowl.
As soon as Xiaoguai saw the piece of barbecue, he immediately put it in his mouth and carried it back to the house.
Going back now?
Since you are not interested, then this shrimp belongs to her.
It was very strange. If it was any other monster, she would not have thought of eating it directly, but she wanted to cook this shrimp directly.
As I approached the corpse of the mantis shrimp monster, I smelled a foul odor of dead fish and rotten shrimp that had been pickled for several days.
No wonder Xiaoguai not only refused to eat it, but also stayed away from it. Who can eat such a taste?
She immediately took out a meat cleaver and started dismembering the mantis shrimp's body.
This time, when she took the meat cleaver in her hand to dismember the animal, she did not hear the system sound immediately. The dismemberment was not completed until she had cut a large hole in the mandible.
It's very difficult.
After wiping the sweat from her forehead, she heard the familiar system voice.
[Successfully triggered the Lucky trait, decomposing to obtain Shrimp Meat*6, Mucus*3, and Gill Lung Organ*2, which have been stored in the system warehouse.]
Hey, there’s one more kind of meat.
Other fish and sea monsters can be decomposed to obtain the already existing cunning catfish meat, but now a new type of shrimp meat has been developed separately for shrimp.
That means there will definitely be more shrimp varieties in the future, or at least there will be no shortage of shrimp.
When she just cut the hole, she could feel that the monster's shell had become much softer after coming to land, so the two ways to kill it that she knew at the moment were, first, just chop off one of its pincers, and second, bring it to land to kill it.
Obviously the first one is easier to handle.
The trident can control the pincers, but it cannot stab to death. If you use the horizontal sword, it is difficult to have enough force due to water resistance. What about scissors?
She remembered that there were scissors that could cut bones in the real world, but what about here?
After searching all over the world, there is still only one person who has this item, and that is Hou Hou Bu Bath.
There are also more OEM posts in the cross-server forum, but no one mentioned this item, and the OEM fees are very high.
The trident in her hand was made by Hou Hou in the time he took to not take a shower. I heard that just after they dealt with a batch of seahorses, two more octopuses came. They said they would contact her when the other items were ready, but no one has contacted her yet.
The sun was getting bigger and bigger, and it was a little dazzling. My skin felt a little hot when it was exposed to the sun.
It was a heat I hadn't felt in a few days.
Since coming to Sea World, I have never encountered hot or cold weather. Today is the first time I have felt so hot that I couldn’t stand it.
When I hid back in the metal house, the central air conditioning had already started automatically.
The cool breeze blew on my skin, making it a little itchy.
In just such a short time, I got sunburned.
So this is a sunny day?
The temperature is not very high, but the ultraviolet rays are extremely strong.
Sunscreen is used before sun exposure, so she took out her strongest sunscreen and applied it all over her body.
The cooling sensation of mint immediately removes redness and oxygen, making it the most effective.
Yu Miaomiao looked at Xiaoguai who looked a little wilted and asked, "Xiaoguai, what's wrong with you?"
I touched its head and it seemed a little hot.
Does it have a fever?
Can cats take fever-reducing or heat-relieving medicine? Probably, after all, they are used in the apocalypse.
If the fever doesn't go down, she will force-feed him medicine again.
I took out the sunscreen and applied it all over Xiaoguai's body.
When applying the solution to its tail, Yu Miaomiao discovered the same red spots.
Looking at the sunlight coming through the window, she thought about it and decided to use the black curtain.
With the help of central air conditioning, the room immediately became cooler. Under the light of indoor lighting, Yu Miaomiao continued to make some of the most powerful sunscreen on the workbench.
"Awoo meow——"
uncomfortable.
Yu Miaomiao put down the work in her hands and touched its head, which was still hot.
Not knowing whether she had heatstroke or a fever, she took out two pills and held them in her hand hesitantly.
I saw a pink tongue stretched out and rolled the anti-heat medicine into the tip of the tongue.
The next second, Xiaoguai swallowed the pill.
I can even find medicine for myself.
Yu Miaomiao stroked its fur and sighed, "Little cutie, how come you are so smart?"
So, like a dog looking for medicine...
Although there are no dogs in the cat cafe where Yu Miaomiao works part-time, her boss's wife has a very smart Border Collie. It is said that one time the Border Collie was sick with diarrhea, but it kept wanting to go out. The boss's wife had no choice but to take it out. The Border Collie found some grass to eat by itself, and then it got better.
"Gurgle"
Or the soothing sound of a cat.
After touching its forehead again to confirm that the temperature had subsided, she returned to the workbench and received a message from Monkey.
"Hou Hou Bu Qing Shu: Meow God, I have made the things, let's trade."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Do you have a lot of orders? Could you please help me arrange another order?"
"Hou Hou Bu Xiu: Do you still need the torpedo machine? My partner who worked on it is still asleep. It will probably be late. She fought until the latest yesterday. I feel embarrassed to disturb her."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Uh, no, I want a pair of kitchen shears, but if there is a real one, I want to see it first."
She wasn't sure if the large pair of scissors could cut such a large pair of pliers.
"Hou Hou Bu Shue: Okay, we made one, but no one wants it. I can sell it to you directly. I'll trade it for you."
After that, the other party sent a transaction request, which included two torpedo machines, a trident, and a pair of kitchen shears.
Yes, who would think of buying this thing in the end times? After all, everyone has a meat cleaver that can automatically dismember things, so why would they need kitchen utensils?
When she took it out, she found it was a pair of half-meter-long scissors. The cold light of the blade at the base of the scissors was enough to blind her eyes.
She was just about to use the scissors to cut the air to test the feel, when a small bunch of hair touched the blade and was cut off and floated down.
It's so sharp that it can cut hair like mud.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I want this pair of scissors. How do you want to sell it to me? Or should we just settle it based on the cost of the materials plus the manufacturing fee?"
"Hou Hou Bu Xiu: Could you please help us make guns? I see you haven't updated your list for a long time, so I don't know if you have any."
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I can make both assault rifles and shotguns."
"Hou Hou Bu Shu Tang: Can Meow God make assault rifles?! Turns out they're not the only ones who can. Could you please make two for us as the price of this pair of scissors?"
There should be many people who can make shotguns, but the only ones who will take the initiative to take on OEM work are Tiandihui and Ziren.
I heard that now that Ziren can produce goods quickly, Wang Bingliang will give him many of the OEM processes.
Yu Miaomiao hasn't taken any OEM orders for a long time and is basically self-sufficient.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK."
"Hou Hou Bu Qing Shu: Oops, we ran into a group of shrimp monsters, we'll talk later."
Shrimp monster, Yu Miaomiao's hand just stopped at a person's shrimp paste rice noodle recipe, which said that 20 servings of shrimp meat were needed. This was a level 6 recipe.
