Chapter 7 Killing Mussels and Pearls
Bang!
In the inaccessible mountain forest, on the edge of a hidden waterhole, a huge blue toad about 1.2 meters long is holding a steel fork and desperately chiseling a huge river mussel at its feet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The shell of the mussel seems to be extremely hard, and the steel fork has fallen countless times, even if the landing point is in the same place every time, and it has just hit a white spot on it. At most, some powder has been ground off the mussel shell, and it seems that there is still a long way to go to penetrate it by this means.
Bang!
Finally, after three more blows in disbelief, the toad finally gave up its futile work, and threw the steel fork aside as if to give up on itself, and lay down on the ground, panting heavily.
This big toad is naturally Zhou Chen.
After he got the thousand-year-old mussel from the bottom of the water, he began to try to open its shell so that he could get the beads inside. He clearly remembered that most of the essence of this mussel was concentrated on the mussel beads.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any other props at hand, and even if he wanted to try various means, he couldn't cook without rice.
So, in the spirit of dripping water through stones, Zhou Chen used the only tool in his hand, the steel fork, to start identifying a point on the mussel shell, and concentrated on hitting with all his strength.
As a result, after working for most of the night, now that the sky is bright, the mussel shell is still very strong. It's not that there is no progress, isn't it that some powder has been ground off? It shows that the allusion that the iron pestle is ground into a needle is completely correct. But damn it, when is this going to grind?!
Zhou Chen persevered all night, and his perseverance was good, but after he saw the sunshine on the second day, he gave up decisively. If he persists in one more tendon, he is afraid that it will affect his IQ.
"This mussel shell is too rebellious, isn't it?"
Zhou Chen was still lying on the ground, turning his head to look at the river mussel lying quietly on the ground next to him, his current feeling was love and hate.
He was happy, because even the shell was so awesome, which showed that its essence was definitely beyond imagination. However, he was very powerless, because he had no treasure mountain to enter.
"Just the shell is so perverted, if this old clam really has the day when he gives birth to his intelligence, he will definitely be a monster that can fight beyond the level. But it's a pity, since it falls on me...... Ahh
Although there is no way to take this old clam for the time being, in his heart, Zhou Chen has already sentenced it to death.
Coo-goo-goo......
At this moment, there was a sound from inside the bulging white belly. Obviously, it was to remind Zhou Chen that it was time to eat, after all, he had been busy all night and had not eaten.
"Let's catch a few fish and grill them......"
The waterhole was not far away, and Zhou Chen decided to use local materials.
In the original memory of Leper Eighteen, its staple food has always been insects, and now these memories have been received by Zhou Chen, making him feel that every time he thinks about the process of eating insects, he feels that he is experiencing it, disgusting.
Of course, Zhou Chen still thinks of himself as a human being, so he can't eat insects, so he will switch to eating meat in the future.
The steel fork turned into a harpoon and took on the task of the harpoon, and Zhou Chen held it and began to walk towards the waterhole.
"Huh, wait......"
Suddenly, Zhou Chen seemed to think of something, and his whole body froze.
"Grill the fish, grill it over the fire, try it!"
Although I don't know if ordinary mortal fire is useful to that old mussel, Zhou Chen really has no other way, and it is good to have one more way to use it.
Just do it when you think about it, Zhou Chen is not in a hurry to fish to fill his stomach, and he will give priority to solving the most important problems.
If you want to make a fire, you naturally have to have combustibles, and the surrounding weeds are overgrown, and if you go around, Zhou Chen collected a large pile and stacked them high.
Then it was to drill wood to make fire, and Zhou Chen chose a relatively thin dry branch and rubbed it vigorously.
If it were an ordinary human being, it would naturally be difficult to drill wood to make fire, but with Zhou Chen's current monster power, it would be easy.
Click!
After the fire is successful, the small flame quickly and slowly expands. The burning dead wood began to make a crunching sound.
Because of the large number of weeds and dead branches collected, the pile formed a small mountain, so the fire quickly burned into a large fire, and there was a faint tendency to spread outward.
Seeing that the fire was burning enough, Zhou Chen picked up the river mussels on the ground and threw them into the fire.
"If this fire continues to burn like this, will it burn down the entire mountain forest?"
After a while, seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Zhou Chen was a little entangled in his heart.
Naturally, there was no danger to him from this fire, and he could run whenever he wanted. But didn't the mountains and forests themselves, and the thousands of small creatures in them, be burned to death?
After all, Zhou Chen hadn't traveled long ago, and his original idea of environmental protection couldn't be changed for a while, so he subconsciously thought of the serious consequences that might be caused by this fire.
Killing an old clam is because it is of great use to himself, and burning this mountain forest is not good for him at all.
"Forget it, get the fire under control. ”
Zhou Chen began to clean up the combustibles along the perimeter of the increasingly large fire.
More than ten minutes later, after Zhou Chen's efforts, the fire has been completely controlled, although the fire is already very large, but there is no possibility of continuing to grow.
After another half an hour passed, the fire gradually became smaller, Zhou Chen saw this, and thought that the fire was almost over, so he carried a steel fork into the fire and turned it, and soon found the old clam .
"It won't affect the mussel beads inside, right?"
At this moment, the whole body of the mussel is charred black, but the shell still does not have much damage, but the two mussel shells are no longer tightly closed, and a gap has been opened slightly, and there is still white gas coming out of it.
"Cooked?"
Seeing the white gas, Zhou Chen did not have the joy of finally opening the clam shell, but was worried about whether the clam beads inside were affected by the fire.
He eagerly put the steel fork into it, and with a "click" the two shells were pried open even more, so that he finally saw the inside of the mussel.
A crystal clear, white bead the size of a baby's fist, lying in the fat clam meat, immediately attracted Zhou Chen's attention.
Seeing the white mist rising around this bead, Zhou Chen also figured out the key at once.
The white gas coming out of the river mussel does not mean that it is roasted, but that the river mussel is mobilizing the water attribute demon power in the beads to resist the high temperature of the fire.
The demonic power of the water system, in the final analysis, is inseparable from the word water, and in the confrontation with fire, steam will naturally be born and white smoke will be emitted.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, hahahaha!"
Seeing that the mussel beads were intact, Zhou Chen was a little excited for a while, and he was about to reach out and grab the beads defenselessly.
Syllable!
But he forgot that the mussel was still alive, and the two mussel shells instantly merged and bit one of his hands, that is, the front paws of the toad.
"It hurts!"
Zhou Chen screamed in pain, and with his other hand, he grabbed the steel fork and desperately tried to pry open the clam shell, but he was frozen for a while.
......
On the other hand, the leper and the gecko monster have already returned to the monster's lair, and they have already reported everything they have discovered since they went down the mountain.
However, there is a discrepancy between the report of Leper San and the actual situation, after all, it only saw two gourd fairies, and Sanwa did not appear in front of it, so it was not counted. It also thought that the spider monster and the bug monster also died at the hands of the eldest baby and the second baby.
This caused the centipede leader to miscalculate, after all, the previous encounter was also two gourd fairies, and he didn't expect to give birth to another one so soon.
"Hmph! Just two gourd monsters, and they still claim to be immortals? They look like people, and they really think of themselves as human beings? Tomorrow, I will remove the traitors among these two monsters!"
The Centipede Commander immediately uttered a cruel word.
With its knowledge, it naturally hadn't heard of any heaven and earth spiritual roots. In its opinion, there is no difference between the gourd demon and the flower demon and the tree demon, they are all monsters.
Two little dolls, thinking that they are born like people, dare to betray the demon clan?
The centipede commander has made up his mind to act tomorrow, and if he doesn't cut the gourd vine, it won't come back!
As for the matter of the gecko monster mentioning the leprosy eighteen, it didn't take it to heart at all, and it wouldn't be too late to deal with it after the triumphant return tomorrow.
