Chapter 27: The Feast
The return of the Cambrian period has once again set all species in the world on a new evolutionary path. And one of them, taking advantage of the phototaxis of some animals, evolved into an alternative hunter: the white dragon tree, one of the countless new mutant plants, as its name suggests, when it is fully mature, the thick vines like white dragon snakes, with its trunk spiraling and extending, scattering in all directions. At the end of some specially grown vines, fat spheres that emit white moonlight will slowly derive.
In the darkness of the night, the miniature moon shimmered white on its branches, illuminating itself as if it were day. Countless phototaxis animals, flying or crawling, are extremely fanatical towards it. The white sticky mist gradually rose, captivating the weak resistance to poison to the ground, and at the same time allowing the flying insects to crawl slowly; Those who lick or eat the white balls on the tree after approaching will slowly faint and fall to the surface due to a substance similar to a high concentration of alcohol.
At some point, it will even eject some clotted orbs, causing a fight. As for the powerful species that are completely unaffected by the first three, they will devour too many spheres, because some of the inexplicable ingredients in the polylipid spheres gradually become addicted and become its most loyal guards, similar to the "Zhao'an" of humans to the strong.
On its branches hangs the bright "full moon", which symbolizes beauty, and in the ground where it grows, countless foods that it likes will be dragged into the ground and gradually become invisible. Here, beauty and death are only separated by a thin layer of earth and stone.
This is a new species that has just been named by the major bases a few months ago, and the reason why Bai Chang knows it so clearly is only because he has seen it from afar when he wanders: the thick fog gradually rises, and a dragon head slowly condenses a white light, swallowing in the fog. And the light that pierced the darkness reflected the fog in the shadows, revealing their thick and powerful bodies.
The mist is constantly changing, looking from afar, like a group of white dragon snakes, holding dragon balls in their mouths, soaring clouds and driving the fog, attracting all beasts to worship, and choosing the one who likes to give blessings. It is indeed worthy of the name of "Baihua Dragon Tree".
For such a peculiar species, Bai Chang naturally inquired in every way, and when he learned that this plant only swallows flesh and blood, not crystal nuclei, he even planned to get some benefits, but because of various changes, he has never been there.
And the clotted globules of Baihua dragon tree, if obtained by some skilled craftsmen, can be made into a table lamp that illuminates for 100 days.
However, even if it is done to make a table lamp, there are dozens of clotted balls in the front yard that I have just passed, and they are only used for roadside lighting.
With a slight glance, Bai Chang knew the origin of these light sources, and peeked at the leopard in the tube, just this "treasure" that Bai Chang knew, was used so often in this city lord's mansion, which showed how luxurious it was. However, in the face of such tacky things, Bai often said that there was no wave in his heart.
Wait, what's that?
The burning charcoals, emitting tiny blue-blue flames, kept licking the wire grid above. A piece of fat and thin, clear texture of a finger-thick barbecue, in the high temperature grilling, exudes a unique and charming taste, with the sound of squeaky bubbles, only to see the excess fat splashed into the red charcoal fire under the body.
"Ahh......h
The fat was instantly steamed and dissipated by the charcoal, and a more appetizing aroma slowly spread.
"Huh!"
A wooden brush gently paints a thin layer of sauce on the barbecue, then turns the barbecue over and continues to grill...... Back and forth, the two sides of the barbecue are gradually grilled to a slight golden brown.
One, two, three, four, a "well" type incision gradually appeared on the front and back of the barbecue, and a little bit of slightly golden oil juice slowly emerged from the incision under the slight drunkenness of the charcoal fire.
And wait until it is brushed with a light rosemary sauce again, so that the flavor gradually penetrates into the inside of the barbecue, removing the excess greasyness, and the roasted meat exudes an indescribable unique aroma, and finally is gently put into the clean white porcelain plate......
"Click!"
A fresh mutated lemon is neatly cut in half, half of which is squeezed slightly, and the pale cyan juice, with the slight swing of the arm, cuts through several natural arcs in the porcelain plate.
"Dah." The silver spoon opened slightly, and with a gentle tap, a small ball of pale green mustard drew a "afterglow" on the white porcelain plate.
"Smack!" A crystal cover as thin as a cicada's wings holds the grilled porcelain plate firmly in the center to prevent the temperature from dropping and affecting the taste.
Finally, a glass of freshly squeezed juice with a hint of mint flavor is placed on a porcelain plate with grilled meat, and the waiter gently pushes it to indicate that the blonde Char is ready to eat.
However, I don't know if it's an illusion, under the illumination of the light, Bai Chang actually saw this barbecue, and his whole body flashed with an inexplicable light.
"It smells so good!"
