Chapter 400: Purification (Part I)

An eyeball.

Of course, this is Xia Yan avoiding Zhu Qi's gaze, reaching out to the backpack, actually communicating with the system's inventory, and taking out a copy of the "Complete Eyeball of the Changing Sea Spirit" that had been prepared a long time ago.

This is a material of higher quality than the conventional 'magic grade' such as carnivorous vines, chickens, snakes, and beast tails.

According to Xia Yan's own experience, the biggest difference between this eyeball and the magic materials commonly used in recent times is that it is...... It exudes a palpitating aura all the time.

Xia Yan grabbed the eyeball directly with his hand, and the palpitations alone made him feel uncomfortable.

Obviously, the mental impact is predominant.

This has to be promoted to the mysterious advancement of [Food Hunter] earlier, as a treasure-level reward unlocked after the quest of 'Dark King of Halberd City', it is precisely by relying on this advanced level of life that has been transformed to a certain point, Xia Yan can directly scratch his eyeballs with his current calm attitude, without worrying about sudden fainting, or the bad reaction of epilepsy and foaming at the mouth.

Xia Yan's idea of taking out the eyeballs is simple:

"[Yongling Knife] after the actual measurement, the results show that this legendary kitchenware, the scope of action is not limited to the 'aquatic' ingredients, strictly speaking, this is a time to kill the pig knife, the kind that swims up, is the opposite of the knife to urge people to get old, a knife down, grapes from purple to tender red...... Bananas turn from soft to youthful firmness! ”

"And the [Garuda Knife], as a sister knife, its scope of action may not be the 'birds and beasts' in the conventional sense in the original book, simply put, what flies in the sky and walks on the ground...... Good guys, almost all the ingredients are covered! ”

"And, purification, is the miracle of this legendary kitchenware!"

Walk to the waterfall pool, fill the mountain spring water with a sheepskin water bag and return, and carefully clean a slightly flat mountain stone, which is regarded as a natural kitchen table for picnics.

The Garuda knife does not need to be cleaned or sharpened.

Xia Yan took it out from a stone shrine, and held it in his hand at the moment, in the afterglow of the evening sunset, the knife face was shining, and the blade was also kept sharp for thousands of years, still blowing hair and cutting iron like mud.

Zhu Qi stopped more than ten meters away, his neck almost stretched out as a giraffe, and his eyes were observed.

"What is this?!"

He couldn't help but ask, there was a layer of uncontrollable sweat on his forehead, "Why do I feel that this thing is very dangerous, it makes people's hairs stand on end, the most vicious hidden weapon and poison in the martial arts, it gives me a sense of danger that is far inferior!" ”

"The danger is right!"

Xia Yan looked left and right at the Garuda knife, and was not in a hurry to try the knife, and glanced at the restless Dark Heavenly King when he heard the sound, "This is just a dead thing, a small part taken from the corpse, if it is intact and alive and indescribable, appears near you, I guess you will go crazy directly." ”

Zhu Qi: "...... Crazy? ”

He was speechless, feeling that Xia Yan's statement was exaggerated, but he didn't intend to be a bar spirit here, at this moment, the curiosity about the 'eyeballs', panic, and a faint fear that he didn't want to admit occupied his heart.

Grunt~

I swallowed a mouthful of spit, and my mouth was a little dry.

"What are you going to do?" He continued to ask, his eyes straight as he stared at the strange ingredients on the slate.

"It's easy—"

With a relaxed and calm answer.

"Poof".

The knife had already swung down, and split the palm-sized eyeball, from the middle, in two.

It's like cutting through the citrus of the deep ocean, and suddenly there is a strong umami surging out.

But strangely, there was no juice to be seen.

Not a drop of water seeped.

Of course, there are reasons for the amazing knife wielding and knife work, but the strange structure of the eyeballs themselves is the main reason, which is obviously the ingredients deducted from the dead and corpses, and you must know that most of the composition of the eyeballs is vitreous, a colorless transparent gelatinous substance, full of mucus and gel, and a lot of liquid will burst out under normal circumstances.

However.

The reality is ......

The cut surface is as smooth as a mirror, and the transparent gel layer inside is like a smooth jelly, and it remains in its original state at the moment of incision.

"Wow! Wow! ”

Zhu Qifei retreated far away, almost to the opposite side of the waterfall.

His face was horrified.

The moment his eyes were cut, Zhu Qi felt that every pore on his body was tingling, and he was so frightened that he hurried away, until he withdrew from a certain limit range, and the tingling sensation was greatly attenuated, and he settled down.

Eyes swept over, stunned!

Not far from the waterfall pond beside him, many dead fish floated up one after another, this is some live fish in the deep pool, mainly mountain carp, fat, the surface of the body does not see the slightest damage, but the corpse floats on the surface of the pool.

At this scene, the corners of Zhu Qi's eyes twitched:

"If I retire too late, will I also lie down?"

Thinking about it, Zhu Qi looked at the chef who cut his 'eyeballs', but was unscathed, and was still half-squatting in front of the stone slab, and his convulsions began to spread to his whole face:

"Hey, why don't you have anything to do! Don't give me such an indifferent look of a worldly master! ”

Xia Yan didn't pay any attention to Zhu Qi's meaning, and observed something seriously, as if he was counting, "...... 100… 70… 30… At such a fast speed, the 'Magical Aura' has decayed to a slight concentration. ”

'Magic Aura', that is, a line of dynamic data that appeared on the field of vision and was captured by Xia Yan's [Food Hunter] Advanced.

In other words, the current [Food Hunter] is advanced in Xia Yan, and the use shown is comparable to what kind of god-level identification technique, specifically targeting weird and mysterious materials.

Of course.

There are positive and negative aspects of aura.

The positive effect can be a buff such as blessing, usually in the form of enchantment and gem inlay, which appears on those classic magic items, forming a piece of powerful kryptonite equipment.

Negative effects, such as confusion, fear, madness, etc.

Now, according to Xia Yan's observation, after the [Garuda Knife] was cut with one knife, the negative aura around the eyeballs dissipated by six or seven percent.

"Slice it further!"

The corners of Xia Yan's mouth opened, and he smiled, his expression was so excited, the actual measurement proved that the legendary kitchenware was really good and powerful.

The [Food Hunter] advancement can only save his own life, and greatly enhance his ability to discover, observe, and identify ingredients, but it cannot help him turn the indescribable "material" into a delicacy on the table of the general public.

Now, the [Garuda Knife] has given him the hope of quickly purifying the indescribable.

Do not refrigerate for a month.

Just watching, there is nothing to be done, I can only let the 'aura' naturally decay over time, and then decay to a certain extent, and it can only be cooked and brought to the table when it is okay for ordinary people's bodies.

Next, knife by knife.

The whole eyeballs were cut into rows of sashimi slices and stacked on a picnic slate.

"Huh?"

When Xia Yan put down the knife, Zhu Qi's exclamation came from the side.
