Chapter 205: Iron Pimple
It seems to be a certain metal in terms of color, but judging by its weight, the density is smaller than that of common metals such as iron and copper. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is nothing special about the appearance, it just looks like an ugly iron ball that has failed to be forged.
When I got closer, I could smell a faint smell of rust.
Zheng Guo lightly touched its surface with the blade.
There was a slightly dull metal crash.
Zheng Guo's mind suddenly appeared in the scene of himself fighting with the skeleton thunder beast in the canyon.
When he used the Heavenly Evil Knife to cut off the forelimbs of the Skeleton Thunder Beast, the sound he made was very similar to this one.
Looking at the color of this iron bump, it seems to be similar to the skeleton of the skeleton thunder beast.
And the skeletal thunderbeast had touched his backpack......
Thinking of these three facts, he deduced that this iron lump must have something to do with the skeleton thunder beast.
Could it be its excrement? This was the first conjecture that popped into Zheng Guo's mind.
Although it may not look like it has an excretory system, as a biological entity, its body is bound to metabolize, and therefore produce metabolites.
This iron lump is probably what came out of its body.
If that's the case, it's quite civilized, doesn't excrete anywhere, and finds a package.
Zheng Guo wanted to cut it open and take a look, but when he took the knife, a voice seemed to tell him in his head that he couldn't do it.
After a moment's hesitation, he chose to trust his instincts.
It's felt like this before, and it's saved his life many times.
So when he encounters a similar situation and can't make up his mind, he tends to act according to his intuition.
This is a rare sample, if you destroy it yourself, it would be a pity, or bring it back to the earth, and find a professional organization to identify it.
Zheng Guo casually put the iron lump into his pocket, took out the flint and steel from the bag, and lit a bonfire with withered grass and firewood.
The dust had almost fallen back to the ground, and the air around it was much clearer.
The sun still hadn't shown its face, and it was a little dark, but there was no sign of rain.
"Luckily, it was a rare cloudy day, and rain was probably impossible, but the clouds obscured the sun and lowered the temperature by a lot ......"
Zheng Guo took out the sand lizard meat from his backpack while breaking his thoughts.
The entrails have long since been removed.
After the offal was removed, the weight was reduced by a third, and now only about ten kilograms remained.
The reason why I don't eat offal is because of food safety concerns.
On the one hand, individual internal organs play a role in metabolism, similar to the human liver, in the metabolic process will gradually produce and accumulate toxic and harmful substances, which need to be thoroughly cleaned before eating.
On the other hand, there are digestive organs, which account for a large proportion. These digestive organs contain a lot of food debris and carrion, and they are a haven for microorganisms to thrive, and they also need to be cleaned very carefully.
Obviously, there are no such conditions in the wilderness, so I can only give up.
In the canyon before, Zheng Guo simply removed the internal organs, and the rest of the parts had not had time to be processed.
But in such a hot environment, untreated meat does not last long, and it has to be disposed of as soon as possible.
In the desert, the most convenient way is, of course, to air dry.
In such an environment, if nothing else, it can be done in about ten hours.
Considering that it is now cloudy, it will be postponed by four or five hours.
Start.
First, cut the sand lizard meat into slices.
Zheng Guo put the Heavenly Evil Knife aside, sat down in front of the campfire, pulled out the Black Star Dagger, turned the sand lizard over, first cut off its head, and then inserted the tip of the knife into the gap between the armor and the flesh.
With the blessing of LV2's anatomical skills, Zheng Guo easily peeled off the armor completely.
Because of the pigment, the blood of the four-eyed sand lizard is purple, which looks a little weird.
However, because of this, the picture is a lot less bloody, and there is no need to play mosaics.
Zheng Guo first cut a piece of meat the size of a palm, skewered it on a branch, set it on a bonfire and roasted it, and then began to slice the meat.
The dagger danced deftly in Zheng Guo's hand, and every time he slashed, the blade could accurately cut into the connection between the flesh and bones, and then slashed out along the direction of the bone, and a piece of sand lizard meat had been completely cut off from the bone.
Most of the audience had already seen his amazing dissection many times, so there was not much exclamation, only some newcomers were startled and guessed that he must have been a surgeon before.
After ten minutes, all the edible parts were sliced off, and only the skeleton of a four-eyed sand lizard remained on the ground.
Zheng Guo buried the sand lizard's head, armor, and skeleton with yellow sand.
Then he hung the twenty-odd pieces of flesh from the sandstone of the tower behind him with ropes and branches, waiting for the dry wind of the desert to dry them.
At this time, the meat was almost roasted, and Zheng Guo took the branch from the bonfire.
The purple pigment is roasted over the fire and becomes a slimy, thick substance that takes on a deep red color and sticks to the surface of the grilled meat.
"When this sticky substance oozes from the surface of the sand lizard meat, it means that the roast meat is fully cooked." Zheng Guo explained, "The first few barbecues did not have this phenomenon, and that was to save time, I only roasted the meat until it was medium-rare, and the heating time was not enough, and the purple pigment was not completely transformed." ”
Zheng Guo cut off a piece of roasted meat with a dagger, and when he separated, several silver threads were pulled out between the two pieces of meat.
I put the barbecue meat to the end of my nose and smelled it, and I was intoxicated.
"The purple pigment in the sand lizard's body is affected by high temperature, and the bond position changes, and it becomes this viscous state." Zheng Guo poked the surface of the barbecue with his finger and said, "The meat of an adult sand lizard is relatively dry and tasteless, but if it is roasted until it is fully cooked, the purple pigment in it will become a delicious additive, with its own sweetness, and can make up for the dry taste." ”
Zheng Guo put a piece of meat in his mouth and chewed it for a while, and couldn't help but smile on his face.
It's been light in my mouth for so long, and this time I finally have a flavoring.
"It's delicious."
Zheng Guo was too lazy to think of adjectives, and couldn't wait to swallow several pieces in a row.
The meaty aroma, sweetness, and stickiness are crushed in the mouth and blended together to bring a great eating experience......
"It feels like you're eating sweet and sour food, but with a little less sourness." Zheng Guo didn't know how to describe it, so he made an inappropriate analogy.
The audience swallowed their mouths as they watched.
"I know what to eat for lunch."
"Sweet and sour tenderloin go!"
"The style of painting has changed abruptly, did I go to the wrong room? ⊙▽⊙”
"May I ask where is the brave fruit master who fought against alien monsters? Who is this foodie? (?﹏?)”
……
After eating to himself for a while, he saw the diggers staring at him across the campfire.
"I almost forgot about you." Zheng Guo cut off a piece of meat and threw it through the bonfire.
The gopher volley latched in on to it, its mouth moving sharply, and its face was exaggerated.
While chewing, he was still staring at the meat in Zheng Guo's hand.
Also an insatiable guy.
