Chapter 3046: Snake Meat Feast (I)
The word "demons and monsters". I'm afraid there is no one who does not know.
The last three will not be talked about for the time being, but what is this "demon"? I'm afraid many people will answer: "goblin."
Yes, "goblin" in the traditional sense refers to "goblin", which is certainly not the dragonfly-sized "goblin" in Western fantasy, but a general term for non-humans with supernatural abilities. But this kind of existence is not innate, not like "monster", nor is it a race like "demon", and it is not a necromancer like "ghost".
To put it simply, a "demon" is a mutant that transcends a kind of self and is fundamentally different from the original kind. The predecessor of the "demon" is often just a normal animal, plant or even inanimate device, but after some acquired efforts, its essence has been sublimated and become a new life, and even the original inanimate thing has become life.
In a sense, the magic weapons above the "spirit weapon" made by the cultivators, as well as the activated objects made by the arcane masters of the other world, are also a kind of demon, but this is artificially generated.
Leprechauns, leprechauns. Generally speaking, when it comes to "demons", it must be "essence" in the back. In the eyes of the average person. The two seem to mean the same thing. But in the cultivation circle, "goblins" are two different things.
Generally speaking, "demons" are unconscious, that is, passively mutated, and this kind of thing usually does not have too high intelligence. And "fine" is conscious and actively mutated. "Cultivation into refinement", this cultivation is, of course, a conscious and active behavior.
There is also a saying, "A hundred years to become a demon, a thousand years to become a spirit". This also shows that it is much more difficult to become a spirit than to become a demon. But having said that, "jing" is not necessarily stronger than "demon".
However, because the two are basically in a relationship of inheritance. If the "demon" has enough intelligence and knowledge, it will consciously cultivate and eventually become a "jing". So in general, the two are mixed, and unless they are academic, they will not be so strictly separated.
Now Su Xue and they are arguing, should this giant snake be considered a "demon" or a "spirit"?
"I look at this thing, I shouldn't have turned on the spiritual intelligence, this can't be considered fine......" Ren Chongfa said.
He Dong said disappreciably: "This is not necessarily, Jing is sometimes not so smart, they are not human beings after all." You can't judge by human standards......"
"I think this kind of distinction is very one-sided and not detailed enough, but this is also a common problem in ancient times...... In my opinion, it should be more detailed......" Gong Yuan said.
Wang Zhi waved his hand. Hao said quickly: "Okay, no matter what it is, whether it's a demon or a spirit, anyway, it's our food now, hahahaha...... We need to hurry, the Ancestors are about to clean up. Hey, Izumi, why did you peel that potato so thickly, what a waste......"
He Dongzhi rolled his eyes: "Damn, who told you to forget to sell the peeler...... At home, I never peel potatoes......"
"Come on, your eldest young master should go peel the garlic. With your kind of sharpening, it's good to have three taels left in a catty......" Wang Zhi drove this guy aside like chasing flies.
These guys are busy in the kitchen right now, some are processing the ingredients, some are sorting out the dishes......
........................................................................
In the open space of the camp, Su Ze also led a group of people to clean up the corpse of the giant snake.
The light was not good last night, and everyone still didn't think so. By the time it was daytime today, the sheer size of this guy surprised the Daoists. A couple of good guys measured it with a tape measure. It is 16.7 meters long, more than 1.7 meters in diameter at the thickest part of its body, and weighs 2,355 kilograms.
Finally, they took a photo with the giant snake.
Liu Yiyu and Fan Han, two refining experts, were all helping Su Xue to peel the skin, debone, and collect materials from the giant snake's corpse. This kind of thing that has become a monster is really a treasure. Especially for the two who play with the refiner, these materials are priceless things, and there is nowhere to buy them with silver.
Therefore, it is better to let two experts do this kind of thing, so as not to waste precious materials.
"Wow, I estimate that this is at least a 500-year-old monster, look at this bone, it's comparable to steel......" Liu Yiyu couldn't help but praise.
As he spoke, he picked up a rib, which he had washed with warm water and had taken on a jade-like luster. He struck it with a hammer, and it made a metallic sound.
"Needless to say, look at its skull......**, even the V94 can't ......penetrate it," Su Ze pointed to the snake head on the desk and said.
Now that the skin of the snake's head has been peeled off, the marks of last night's shooting are very clear. It has more than a dozen large and small pits in its skull, several of which are fist sizes, which are clearly the marks left by the 12.7mm bullets fired by the V94. However, even the V94 was an anti-materiel gun, which only caused a pit in the skull and some bone fragments, and the skull itself was not penetrated.
"No wonder this guy is still so alive after being shot in the head by V94. It turned out that it didn't penetrate at all......" Yuan Ye looked at these craters and couldn't help but be amazed.
In fact, the giant snake can be said to have died from a severe concussion. Although its skull was strong enough, the brain inside couldn't stand the continuous violent shocks, and it was shaken into a pulp. This guy is really unlucky, and he died too unjustly, and he just can't see it.
At this time, Fan Han walked over with two blood collection bags, and said with a smile: "Look, so much venom! Just left in the poison gland, there are more than 2,500 milliliters, and it took two blood collection bags to load, not counting the ones that were sprayed off by it last night." **, if we can raise such a one, we can make a fortune just by taking snake venom......"
Venomous snakes all have venom glands, which are organs that evolve from salivary glands. Located on the sides of the head and behind the eyes, it is trapped in the jaw muscles and secretes venom. When a venomous snake bites, the muscles surrounding the venom glands contract, and the venom is injected into the body of the bitten target through the tube or groove of the venom tube and fang, causing poisoning.
Snake venom and snake blood should be fresh. So last night they took out the venom and blood of the snake overnight. When the venom glands of this giant king cobra were removed, everyone was shocked that this thing was actually the size of a pillow. Two pillow-sized containers, you can imagine how much venom can be inside.
Snake venom is a very precious medicinal material, and it is all priced in grams. Generally, the more venomous, the more expensive, in the international market, even the cheapest is hundreds of dollars a gram, like this king cobra snake venom, at least thousands of dollars or so a gram. What's more, the value of this centuries-old demon snake cannot be measured by money at all.
Leave the rest of the serpent aside. This snake venom alone is worth the ticket price.
"These two fangs are awesome, they can be practiced into evil magic weapons...... Liu Yiyu said with a smile while holding two more crescent-shaped fangs.
Several fellow Daoists who helped clean up the giant snake were very excited, and they exclaimed as they worked.
..................................................................
Fan Dongliu and Gong Yuan, two beauties, both wore aprons, and the two of them were responsible for putting the snake fat removed into the pot to make grease.
For easy access, the stove is set up outside the room. Therefore, bursts of strong fragrance lingered in the space of the entire camp, drilling into everyone's nose from time to time.
This is probably because this giant snake is already a goblin, and the smell of this oil refining is different, not the greasy fragrance of ordinary oil, but with a sweet and moisturizing feeling, and it smells very comfortable.
"Damn, even the boiling oil is so fragrant, I don't know how delicious this meat is?" Yuan Ye's saliva was about to flow out, he threw away the work in his hand, and ran over with a smile on his face: "Two beauties, give me a few pieces of oil residue to relieve my hunger, my throat is about to stretch out my hand......"
Wang Song licked his lips and couldn't help asking, "Ancestor, is the meat of this thing really edible?" I eat a lot of ordinary snakes, but this is already a goblin......
Su Ze replied with a smile: "Of course you can, I have already tested it, non-toxic, sterile and parasite-free, typical three-no, high-quality goods......"
When he came to Africa this time, by the way, he also did an investigation of local ingredients, and naturally he also brought a set of food testing equipment. And don't forget, Uncle Si Ming also gave him the ability to use all kinds of magic below the three poles at will.
Now on Earth, although there are many magic spells that cannot be used, or the effect is greatly reduced, the zero-level magic skills [Detect Toxins] and [Detect Microbes] can still be used, and the effect is better. This [Detect Microorganisms] magic technique. It seems to be unique to Si Ming, because Su Xue has never seen this magic at all in those materials that introduce divine arts. Although divine magic can also invent new ones, but with the temperament of Uncle Si Ming, it will never do this kind of thing that it is not interested in, if it is invented.
Just last night and this morning, Su Xue had inspected the giant snake several times, all of which were a hybrid of high-tech and spells, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Hey, you don't understand, this is a goblin! People have been cultivating for so many years, even if they don't have great magical powers, their bodies must be quite clean. Washing the marrow is not a human patent......"
Fan Han explained next to him: "...... Fairy meat like this must be quite clean......"
"Look at the mop, it's already eaten, and I'm not afraid of poisoning at all......," Liu Yiyu pointed to the stove and smiled.
Wang Song looked back, didn't he? Yuanye was holding a bowl of oil residue and eating it with relish. This guy is so hungry that he doesn't even use chopsticks, so he just grabs it with his hands.
Under Su Ze's command, the fat used to refine the oil was cut into slices three inches long and one inch wide, and after being boiled, they were all shrunk into olive-shaped meat rolls, which looked very regular. This is also the result of Su Ze's guidance, if ordinary people refine oil, they can't make any good-looking oil residue.
"Oh oh ~~~" Yuan Ye let out an excited scream while eating. “...... Delicious, so delicious!!"
