Chapter Fifty-Six: The Way of Baking
Wu Yun walked alone in the huge passage shrouded in dim light, his wet clothes on his body as if he was imprisoned in an ice shell. Wu Yun's body couldn't stop shivering. The teeth in his mouth fought violently, and finally he had to close his mouth and clench his teeth. And the straight passage seemed to lead into the distance as if it had no end. The orange dots of light on the ground also converged into patches of light at some point. As the distance traveled increased, the spots of light under his feet gradually stuck together. It has become a band of uneven thickness. There was a deathly silence all around, and although Wu Yun knew that it was not good, he could only go on now. Because that's his only option.
I don't know how long he walked, Wu Yun found that the original orange liquid trail on the ground had gradually turned into dark red solid particles. And the glittering light on it was gone. It seems that the bodily fluids of this monster will change over time. Wu Yun was overjoyed. This shows that the centipede's condition must not be very rosy now. He couldn't help but speed up his pace, he felt that his body was not as cold as it was just now.
He hadn't gone long before he noticed a dark shadow lurking in the depths of the deep tunnel. He quickly stopped.
Wu Yun took out the small flashlight that the cloaked man gave him. After opening it slightly, a pillar of light was swallowed up by the black area. He had to speed up a few steps forward.
Gradually, the outline of the dark shadow became clearer. In the light of that insignificant flashlight. What caught his eye was the huge centipede from before. Its body was now stiff and its shell was black, and it had obviously been dead for a long time, Wu Yun was relieved. Check it out carefully.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, the scene in front of you is like a horror movie, and the death of this centipede is extremely tragic. The long body was torn into three pieces from the middle. The wound that was torn open looked like it was caused by some kind of bite. And the arthropod-like feet on both sides of the body were also torn off quite a bit. It was like a huge crab leg scattered around the vast ground. There are also many stones mixed in the middle
Are there any other monsters here? Wu Yun was startled, he came from the lake, and he didn't encounter anything all the way except the strange fish in the water. Other words.... He looked at the deep passage ahead.
Obviously, there is definitely a creature more terrifying than this centipede hidden in the darkness, and he can't go any further. Wu Yun hurriedly searched around the centipede, and collecting more resources and information was the top priority now.
He kicked the stump on the ground, a few pieces of white material on the side caught his eye, and he looked around, the surrounding walls and ceilings were undamaged. Where do these things come from?
Wu Yun searched forward step by step. I walked for about a few minutes. Sure enough, a one-person-high hole was found on the side of the passage in front of him, and the light here was not very good, and this hole was about a few hundred meters away from the centipede corpse he found. With the distance and the dim lights around him, it wasn't surprising that he hadn't noticed it first. He carefully examined the hole. This was most likely caused by the centipede during the fight.
Wu Yun carefully stretched out the flashlight into the hole and shone it around. Inside it was actually a small room. He cautiously slipped into it. Everything in the house was covered in a thick layer of dust. He stepped forward and carefully wiped the dust off them. At this moment, a small table and several staggered sofas appeared in front of him. This room is like a small lounge. Wu Yun walked around the surrounding walls. Sure enough, it was easy to find a door. He pushed, but the door didn't move, apparently blocked from that side.
Wu Yun kicked hard at the door a few times, his reckless action had no effect other than to make the room dusty.
What to do, is this the end of the road? Wu Yun covered his nose and mouth with his hands and rushed out of the dusty room.
It's getting colder and colder. Something has to be done. But discovering this room also goes a long way. This is at least much better than the warmth of the channel. Now the only problem is the fuel.
Wu Yun suddenly remembered the few remaining sofas in the room. The idea came instantly. He returned to the small room and reached over a couch on the floor, tearing the skin off with all his might, and as he thought, the green padding inside. According to Xiao Lei, this thing is the product of some kind of plant heating and melting and then cooling. Its ease of processing and deformability make it the most common filler. It is naturally combustible. It's just that it's true that Wu Yun hasn't burned it before.
Wu Yundi took out the sprinkler head from his pocket, and the sealed bag kept it dry. Wu Yun lit a piece of filler. Feeling that it was still relatively easy to ignite, Wu Yun was overjoyed, and began to disassemble the sofa one by one, in addition to the upper cushions and cushions, the wooden frame is also a good material. He decided to keep the small wooden table for now, maybe it would be useful.
In the middle of the room, a bonfire quickly rose, Wu Yun hurriedly took off his clothes and pants, he hung them on several frames, and then gently pushed them to the campfire, and he himself jumped around the fire and kept spinning. If anyone sees this scene, they will definitely think that this is a primitive person holding some kind of sacrifice.
I don't know how many times I went around, but Wu Yun's body gradually dried up. His face was gradually returning to blood. At this time, he obviously felt hunger in his belly, but it was not surprising, the last meal was before entering the cave, and after so many battles and tribulations, it was not easy to resist until now.
There are not many options left in the current situation. He had to get the idea of the centipede outside. I heard that some people eat insects such as scorpions. This shouldn't be too strange an ingredient. Wu Yun was very suspicious that if this big guy appeared in his own world, nine times out of ten, he would eat the rhythm of national first-class protection in minutes. It tastes good. Generally things with shells are not too unpalatable,
Wu Yun walked out naked, and there was no need to think about anything about dress here anyway. Solving the food problem is the top priority. Under the pressure of hunger. He soon came to the centipede's corpse, the invulnerable red casing now completely blackened. Wu Yun pushed it with his fingers, and the black carapace was now obviously softer, but even then it was not something that he could handle with his bare hands.
The glowing flesh now became as black as the carapace outside. However, if it still had that red fluorescence, Wu Yun would not have had the appetite to eat it at all. The devil knows if he will become a little monster if he eats something like this. Even if he was lucky, he would not die for a thousand years, but he still had no interest.
Now all that is the fallen centipede feet on the ground. These large crab legs look more in line with their own definition of food than their huge bodies.
Wu Yun picked up a few and returned to the campfire. He was starting to get a little stumped. He didn't know how to cook it. Now he only has one way to bake. He tried to dispose of it by baking clothes. But it turned out that the wooden frames were almost burned down. The upper leg still hasn't changed much. And he couldn't have conjured up an iron frame or anything like that. In the end, Wu Yun, who was helpless, had to throw it directly into the fire,
It's not a good idea because it's so easy to burn. The problem is that I am really helpless. You can only take one step at a time.
After about half an hour, Wu Yun used a wooden stick to pull out the charred leg. A foul smell filled the small room. Obviously, this is not something to eat.
He's still a little reluctant. Playing back and forth with the wooden stick on the failed piece. Suddenly, a pitch-black shard fell from the long black legs, revealing the white part inside. Wu Yun was overjoyed, he picked up the black fragment and looked at it carefully and stood up. The crust is thin and crispy after being grilled over a blazing fire. Like a black eggshell, he quickly struck his entire leg with a wooden stick. The black shell on top turned into tiny pieces, and he simply scraped it a few times. A long white leg appeared in front of him.
He reached out and touched it, and the leg was still a little wet. Apparently not cooked. But the situation is much better now than it was now.
Wu Yun found a problem - there was no water nearby. But it's not a big deal. It's nothing more than running back to the end of the wall of water and solving it. Now that I have thought of a way. Wu Yun hurriedly dealt with the two legs in the same way. It doesn't hurt to clean up a little more at a time.
He put on his clothes, picked up the ingredients, and trotted all the way back to the end. The huge hole was still the same as when I came, except that the strange fish was no longer wandering there. Due to the slope of the passage itself, a large amount of dust accumulated at the end of the tunnel, and a thick quagmire was formed under the erosion of the lake water that flowed into the cave from time to time, and this was really what Wu Yun needed at this time. He first simply washed a few of the shelled legs under a stream of water. Then dig out a few large chunks of mud from the mud pool below and set them aside.
Just as he was about to wrap the meat in the dirt, Wu Yun suddenly remembered that he still had something useful.
He quickly pulled it out of his pocket, a small vial of salt and a small bottle of sugar, and the gray, slippery cell that Black Fang had thrown at him earlier. Wu Yun took out the salt and sprinkled it on a few legs of meat at will. He picked up the globules and put them in the water for a while, so that it would be much easier to sprinkle the sugar. He was eager to try what this legendary delicacy tasted like.
One of the biggest advantages of this method similar to the flower chicken is that as long as it is baked for a long time, you don't have to worry too much about it being easily burned, as for whether the sludge is clean or not. It's really not a question that hungry Wu Yun needs to think about.
He wrapped everything in mud and set off on the return journey. Soon he came back to his room, and the campfire inside was a little small. Wu Yun hurriedly threw a few more mats in. Because the ground itself has a thick layer of floating soil, Wu Yun has more confidence in this production method. He buried several long strips of mud in the ground near the campfire. I casually threw the ball of cell mud into it.
Look at the roaring campfire in front of you. Wu Yun began to worry about his future, there were not many legs, and it was estimated that he would have to find a way from the centipede's body in the future. In this situation, should we move forward or stay here? Which is the safer choice?
Just as Wu Yun was thinking about his way out, a fragrance slowly wafted through the air around him. Wu Yun, who couldn't bear it anymore, hurriedly pulled out a clay stick from the soil, which had begun to dry and crack, obviously the volume of this leg was much smaller than that of a chicken, and it was naturally much easier to cook.
Wu Yun easily cracked open the dried mud shell. The steaming white flesh trembled and was exposed, and Wu Yun immediately remembered McDonald's chicken wing advertisement. He doesn't care about burning his hands. I hurriedly ate a whole leg of meat cleanly. He didn't bother to savor it, he just thought that the taste was similar to the big lobster meat he had eaten during his travels. It's not delicious or unpalatable, but it's already a delicacy under the current conditions. However, I may still be in a bit of a hurry, and I still feel that I still lack some heat. So he decided to roast and do it again, but with one leg down, he wasn't too hungry anymore.
Wu Yun sat in front of the warm campfire, and after the various battles and adventures of the day, a sleepy force covered his body like a huge cloak. Gradually, he lay down in the dust, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
