Seeing that Afu had realized his mistake, Lin Ruo chuckled and walked towards the black bear's carcass.
She took out a mineral knife from her spatial storage, walked closer, and plunged it into the black bear's head, whereupon a red and white liquid immediately flowed out.
She gently turned the knife tip inside, deftly picking out a glittering object. A flash of blue light appeared in her hand, and a small ball of water immediately enveloped it. A moment later, the water dispersed, revealing a glittering crystal core lying quietly in her palm.
Lin Ruo picked up the crystal core. It was a level one crystal core, shaped like a crystal ball, about the size of a fist, and very beautiful.
In the early stages of plant and animal mutation, only powerful plants and animals will produce crystal nuclei. Later, almost every mutated plant and animal will have one, and the level of each nucleus will be quite high.
Ah Shou quickly ran over, circled the crystal core in Lin Ruo's hand, and found that it neither tasted nor smelled good, so he immediately lost interest and turned to drool over the black bear carcass.
Lin Ruo's smile deepened. Mutant animals cannot directly absorb the energy in the crystal core, but they can absorb the power in the flesh and blood of mutant animals.
The flesh and blood of mutated animals are especially attractive, which is why Ah Shou is so greedy.
"I'll treat you guys to something special when we get back today. Would you like some bear paws?" Lin Ruo patted Afu, who was slowly walking over.
"Awoo." Afu nodded.
Lin Ruo raised her wrist and checked the time. It was already 5 p.m. They should go back for barbecue!
Lin Ruo put the black bear's carcass into his spatial storage, then waved his arm and shouted, "Let's go! Home! Let's eat barbecue!"
"Woof woof!" Ah Shou jumped up excitedly as soon as he heard about eating barbecue.
Lin Ruo took the lead, skiing quickly towards the shelter, with Afu and Ashou following closely behind.
Half an hour later, Lin Ruo and the others finally returned to the shelter and saw the big willow tree waving at them from afar.
"Thank you for your hard work, A-Liu. This is your reward."
As she spoke, Lin Ruo took out a mutated rabbit from her spatial storage and threw it to A Liu. A Liu happily shook the willow branch, tied the mutated rabbit up with the branch, and began to enjoy it with relish.
Lin Ruo put Afu and Ashou into her spatial storage, and after entering the protective shield, she released Afu and Ashou out of the space.
The first thing to do is to give the two "mongrels" a bath, otherwise they will make the platform very dirty.
After taking a bath, Afu and Ashou were clean and lazy, lying on the ground with their eyes closed, resting.
Lin Ruo then returned to her small residence and began preparing the ingredients for roasting a whole lamb.
He took out a huge grill from the space and skewered the previously marinated whole sheep on it.
The campfire on the platform had burned out, so she rekindled it, placed the whole sheep over the fire, and began to roast it.
The whole roasted lamb must be cooked at an even temperature, constantly rotated, and brushed with oil and sprinkled with spices. Because Afu and Ashou cannot eat spicy food, she did not sprinkle chili powder.
After three hours of roasting, Afu and Ashou had already smelled the aroma. They squatted in front of the campfire, staring longingly at the mutton on the grill. It's no wonder they were so eager; it smelled so good.
The baking started at 6 p.m., and Lin Ruo was also hungry. She kept swallowing her saliva as she smelled the aroma wafting through the air.
It wasn't until 9 p.m. that they finally got to eat the mutton. Lin Ruo shared half with Afu and Ashou, and she originally planned to share the other half with Aliu. However, Aliu ate a little and then shook the willow branch, indicating that it didn't like it very much. So Lin Ruo happily got half a roasted lamb.
Lin Ruo also took out the black bear she had killed that day from the static space. The black bear weighed about 600 kilograms. She used the spatial blade to peel off the black bear skin completely. Once tanned, this stuff is the best material for windproofing and cold resistance.
After being skinned, the black bears seemed to shrink in size. Their paws were quite large, about 40 centimeters wide, and were neatly cut off by Lin Ruo. Each bear weighed about 25 kilograms.
Lin Ruo put the cut-off bear paw and roasted mutton into a bowl before letting Afu and Ashou eat.
Compared to domesticated sheep, they still preferred the meat of mutant animals. Afu and Ashou both ate the bear paw first, chewing it with great gusto.
Lin Ruo ate only one lamb foreleg, then took out a watermelon grown in the black soil from her spatial storage and cut it into four pieces.
Lin Ruo handed a slice of watermelon to Liu Zhi, who was reaching into the protective shield, and then slowly scooped it out with a spoon. The watermelon was really sweet, crisp, melted in her mouth, and very juicy. After just a few bites, it completely masked the greasiness she felt from eating the whole roasted lamb earlier.
Ah Liu also liked it very much. After eating, its willow branches stretched in again and stayed next to Lin Ruo, occasionally hooking Lin Ruo's little finger with its tender willow branches and shaking it gently.
Lin Ruo smiled. Of the three she raised, if we're talking about who knows how to be charming, it has to be A Liu. A Shou is always a tough guy trying to be charming, and he goes too far. If it weren't for Lin Ruo's strength, he would have almost made Lin Ruo fall over every time.
Then look at Ah Liu, so light and delicate, it's like she's tickling your heart.
Ah Shou also noticed the little scheme of the big willow tree outside the door—it wanted to eat more watermelon than it! That's impossible!
It stopped eating meat immediately, ran over quickly, and opened its mouth to bite the willow branch. The willow branch nimbly dodged, and Ah Shou almost bit Lin Ruo's hand.
Afu noticed immediately, raised its big paw and whacked A-Shou on the back of the head, "Oww!"
Ah Shou glared fiercely at Liu Zhi, who had already escaped the protective shield, then lowered his head and dared not speak, silently eating the bear paw in his bowl.
Lin Ruo shook her head and chuckled. In terms of age, Afu and Ashou are only 6 months old, which is still considered a puppy in the age range.
So Lin Ruo patted its big head and coaxed it gently, "It's okay, it's okay. Afu, Ashou, and Aliu all worked hard today. How about we reward each of you with a watermelon?"
