After entering the base, Chen Wangping just walked to the residential area and didn't wait to go in.
A cloud of water mist suddenly surged out of the fish pond next to him and flew towards him quickly.
"Blooper"
The little carp floated to the surface of the water and said proudly, "Brother Ping, don't move, come and see the skills I just learned!"
Chen Wangping smiled and stood there without moving.
He was also very curious about what the mist meant.
Soon, the mist enveloped him and instantly turned into a human-shaped mist of similar size to Chen Wangping, wrapping him tightly inside.
After the wrapping was completed, the mist quickly passed through Chen Wangping's clothes and skin, vibrating inside and out, and left with the stains on them.
After a dozen seconds, the fog had turned gray.
Seeing that the cleaning was completed, the little carp flapped its fins to control the gray mist to fly out of the base and disperse naturally, shaking its head proudly.
Chen Wangping looked down at his body and found that the cleaning effect of the mist from Little Carp was very good. All the stains on his clothes and skin disappeared. Even some of the smells from the black oil ruins disappeared completely. His whole body exuded a fresh smell, and he felt much better than before, with all his fatigue swept away.
He walked over and touched the little carp, then praised it with a smile: "That's amazing."
The little carp made a sound of beeping, saying that the underground was too dirty. Every time its sunfish friends came back from work, they smelled burnt. So it tried to help them get rid of the unpleasant smell. After a few tries, it came up with this method.
Chen Wangping took out an ancient lotus leaf, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the little carp, explaining, "Don't worry. We're not strong enough right now. Keep developing. When conditions improve, we'll move to a bigger base and build you a small lake to play in."
The little carp nodded obediently and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm so happy that I can learn this new skill and help Brother Ping!"
Chen Wangping touched the little carp with relief.
After resting for a while, he walked to the side and threw the black oak wood into the stone stove. After it burned and became red, he took it out and put it in water to put out the fire, and placed it side by side at the entrance of the cave.
Although the fire on the surface of the oak has been extinguished at this time, the temperature inside is still very high. The excess water on the surface can be evaporated by relying on this residual heat.
As the moisture on the surface of the oak gradually disappears, the charcoal white color unique to the oak gradually emerges, looking as white as snow and very beautiful.
"The world is truly vast and full of wonders. This is the first time I've seen white charcoal."
Chen Wangping smiled and sighed, then took out the yellow jungle fowl he had killed earlier and put it away. After removing the feathers, he spread maple syrup, salt, pepper, chili pepper, ginger slices and other seasonings on it and marinated it.
The chicken here has been marinated, and the oak charcoal over there has been dried.
He picked up a piece of white charcoal and placed it on the barbecue grill, then lit it again with the fire.
The flame of the lit white charcoal is very stable, the heat can be felt from a distance, and there is no explosion at all, which makes people feel very comfortable.
“Beep!”
The golden eagle looked very anxious. While fanning the charcoal to help it burn, it urged Chen Wangping to put the chicken on to roast.
"Don't worry, I'll put it up right away."
Chen Wangping flattened the chicken, clamped it with a net, and slowly placed it on the upper layer of the barbecue grill, using the fire from the outermost layer to slowly roast the chicken.
As for the big fire near the charcoal, he planned to use it to grill the octopus.
"Garlic grilled octopus, so I need to make some garlic sauce first."
Chen Wangping took out two heads of garlic, raised his hand and threw them to the Golden Eagle, saying, "Diaobao, peel the garlic and chop them all."
The golden eagle was anxious to eat the delicious food, so it immediately transformed into a garlic-peeling eagle, quickly peeling out the tender white garlic cloves and then chopping them into small pieces.
Chen Wangping heated up the oil in a pan, and when the oil was hot, he took out half of the minced garlic and put it in to fry. When the half of the minced garlic turned to golden brown, he quickly turned off the heat, added some chili sauce and stirred it, and finally threw in the remaining half of the raw garlic and stirred well.
The simple version of golden and silver garlic sauce is ready.
"Pa pa pa"
The little carp, after watching the whole process, puffed up its fins in support, its eyes full of admiration.
Chen Wangping smiled, took out the young mutant octopus, cleaned it, and cut it into strips.
Due to the octopus's special physiological structure, even a dead octopus will have some nerve reactions, moving and stretching, which looks a bit creepy.
Chen Wangping glanced at the slowly moving octopus segments and vaguely felt that there seemed to be something on it. Without waiting to finish cutting, he picked up the cut half and threw it onto the fire of the barbecue grill.
"Sizzle, sizzle."
Under the licking of the flames, the octopus segments slowly shrank.
At this time, Chen Wangping suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some deformation inside the octopus that was different from the deformation outside, as if something was blocking it.
While he was thinking about it, his body subconsciously picked up the golden and silver garlic sauce and smeared it on him.
Just at the moment when the raw garlic in the golden and silver garlic sauce touches the octopus segments.
A tiny red light suddenly flickered inside the octopus segment. The frequency of the red light flickering was very fast, and it would flash hundreds of times in almost a blink of an eye. Moreover, the position where the red light flashed would not flicker again. It seemed to be the last light before death.
The red light accompanied by the flames looks very gorgeous.
When Chen Wangping saw this scene, he stopped and compared it carefully. He found that the red light did not flash and disappear at the places where the cooked garlic touched. Only the octopus segments touched by the raw garlic would be like this. Moreover, the more they touched, the faster the red light flashed and disappeared.
"Red light? So tiny? Will it disappear when it touches raw garlic?"
Chen Wangping had a vague guess in his mind. He raised his hand and used a net to press down the half of the garlic octopus. He took out a head of raw garlic and asked the golden eagle to squeeze it into garlic juice, which he then smeared on the remaining half of the juvenile mutant octopus.
Now, the red light in his vision reached its brightest point, and then dimmed again.
[Life Energy +0.005]
[Life Energy +0.003]
…
[Life Energy +0.006]
At this time, a series of life energy enhancement prompts appeared one after another, followed by a prompt of [Life Limit +1].
Chen Wangping looked at the clue that appeared before him and said in surprise, "That's actually the case! Garlic can kill bacteria and disinfect, and the mutant octopus can absorb oil through some unknown means. Combined with the black oil that escaped when the mutant octopus was caught before, there is only one possibility! The mutant octopus absorbs and decomposes oil through special microorganisms in its body. Without these microorganisms, they can't absorb energy from the black oil ruins!"
Thinking of this, his face lit up with joy.
If it's true, then there's a way to control the mutant octopus!
As long as the microorganisms are killed, these octopuses will no longer have the means to survive in the black oil.
Chen Wangping picked up the other half of the juvenile mutant octopus, placed it on the grill, brushed it with garlic sauce and grilled it happily.
Enjoy the delicious food! I'll use garlic juice to test my hypothesis tomorrow!
