Food Poems

Chapter 117: Killer Starfish Pork Bone Stew

The killer starfish's five tentacles grabbed the razor-sharp clam and spun at high speed, leaving only an afterimage.

Ye Zhi drew out the Spirit Shield Blade, and the blade released the purple light of sleep magic.

As a divine spell bestowed by the goddess of darkness, Ye Zhi's talent in shadow spells is quite extraordinary. He successfully hypnotized a second-ring killer starfish with a first-ring spell.

"The Lord of a Hundred Arms' holy relic is also quite abstract," Ye Zhi said sarcastically, "It's actually a starfish."

Gray didn't understand what Ye Zhi meant by "abstract", but she understood the general meaning. She spit out frost dragon breath to freeze another killer starfish, and then said:
"After all, the holy emblem of the Lord of All Weapons has five hands, and starfish also have five hands!"

Hildreth swung his sword and cut the killer starfish in half, and said calmly: "We should be thankful that it was not the six-armed snake demon or the eight-armed giant who invaded the divine realm."

Ye Zhi: "...So all the followers of the Lord of a Hundred Arms have many hands?"

At this time, the killer starfish, spinning at high speed, attacked Ye Zhi, and the shield condensed around its body was easily cut into pieces by it!
The distance was too close, and Ye Zhi had no time to fight back with his sword.

Yeats threw a jab with his left hand, creating a sonic boom.

The jab of the King of the Wild Hunt, coupled with the physical cleansing of the Apple of Youth, and the blessing of cuisine comparable to the mantis shrimp potion!

This punch is full of power!

The jab hit the killer starfish with such force that it caused the entire thing to explode!
The noise attracted the attention of Gray and Hildreth, who looked at him in surprise.

Ye Zhi shook his fist and said calmly:
"As you can see, it makes sense for me, as a poet, to learn a little boxing."

Gray: "But your hand is bleeding..."

Ye Zhi hissed. The back of his hand was cut by the blade shell. It hurts!

Among this group of killer starfish, there is a purple killer starfish that is particularly strong. Ye Zhi estimated that it is at the three-ring level and its meat must be quite delicious.

Unlike other starfish, the purple starfish's tentacles held metal swords, which were more lethal. Hildreth fought with it for a long time, and when he had the chance, he cut it in half.

The two halves of the purple starfish broke apart, fell to the ground, squirmed towards each other and pieced themselves together again.

Ye Zhi said: "Its regenerative ability is very strong! Just don't let the body parts fit together!"

"Gu!" The Snowy Owl looked out and saw three figures galloping towards them in the distance.

Master, I saw the three sled dogs from before!

In the snow, the three brothers, Alaska, Husky and Samoyed, came galloping, seemingly maintaining their formation, with dark flames burning in their eyes and high morale!

"Ouch!"

Brother Snowy Owl, we are here to help you!

Hild was a little surprised:
"This dark flame is... the blessing of the Black Knight!"

Black Knights show great interest in war horses, hounds, and falcons, and prefer group combat that can take advantage of formations.

When she does not appear in human form, she often manifests her miracles through sacred objects such as chess and hunting dogs.

Yeats reacted quickly.

The divine realm was invaded, and the Black Knight chose to bless these three hounds to stop the enemy!
But could these three brothers really kill so many killer starfish? Yeats was very skeptical.

However, the three sled dog brothers surrounded the purple starfish, constantly attracting its attention, sometimes dodging, sometimes biting, and actually delayed the killer starfish's actions.

Ye Zhi was slightly stunned.

Could this be the famous Three Wolves Slaying God Formation in the Souls-based games?
Zheng!
Hildreth cut off the killer starfish again. The Husky and Alaska were well prepared. They held the two pieces of the killer starfish in their mouths and ran quickly in two directions. This move would undoubtedly prevent the killer starfish from regenerating.

Ye Zhi: “…”

The Paw Paw Team has made a great contribution!

All invaders of the divine realm will be eliminated.

Gray breathed a sigh of relief, and saw Ye Zhi leaning over and picking something out of the corner of her eye, her face changed a little:

"You don't...really want to eat them?"

Ye Zhi picked up a killer starfish, waved it towards Gray, and smiled:
"Although the killer starfish has a hard shell, the soft part inside tastes very fresh. The shell soup made by stewing the razor clams that it uses as weapons with the killer starfish will make the soup more delicious."

Gray's face turned pale little by little, and Ye Zhi smiled and said:

"In my hometown, this is called original soup and original food!"

Thinking of the scene where she was almost killed by the killer starfish, Gray shuddered and said loudly:
"I won't eat this kind of monster!"

Cold sweat ran down Hildre's forehead, and he murmured in a low voice:
"These starfish are the holy objects of the Lord of All Weapons. Is it really okay to eat them anyway?..."

Ye Zhi glanced at the three sled dogs and found that they exuded a supernatural aura and would be able to break through in time.

"Why don't you stay and have dinner together?" Ye Zhi said.

The three sled dogs looked at each other.

The Samoyed said politely: "Woof!" (Thank you for your help!)
Yeats set about cooking.

Before coming, Yeats used giant wild boar as raw materials to make wild boar bone broth jelly and lard. Yeats cast the "Purify Food" spell on the killer starfish, blanching it in boiling water to remove impurities and fishy smell.

Immediately add a little olive oil to the pan and sauté ginger and garlic slices.

Add pork bone broth, add the blanched killer starfish, razor scallops and spareribs into the soup, and simmer for about twenty minutes to allow the seafood to fully develop its flavor.

As for lard, Yeats brushed it on the surface of killer starfish and grilled it over a campfire.

When the roasted starfish is done, the killer starfish pork bone stew is also ready.

"Grilled Killer Starfish: One star. Made from lard, spices, and killer starfish, eating it will permanently increase your proficiency with swords and other weapons (small)"

Ye Zhi was slightly stunned.

It can actually increase weapon proficiency!

Yeats couldn't help but think of the image of three sled dogs holding swords in their mouths.

Yeats let three sled dogs taste this dish "roasted killer starfish".

Although the taste rating is only one star, it is like opening the door to a new world for the three sled dogs.

The Husky looked wise: "Ah!" (Brother, this tastes really extraordinary!)
Samoyed smiled and said: "Woof!" (It's chewy on the outside and very fragrant and glutinous on the inside. It's really a good product!)

Alaska nodded vigorously: "Roar!" (I think so too!)
Looking at these three sled dogs with very different personalities, Yeats smiled slightly.

"I just learned the spell 'Summon Magic Pet'. After I upgrade it, I can summon three Magic Pets at the same time." Ye Zhi thought to himself:
"Keep these three sled idiots in the territory. When needed, you can summon them out and activate the 'Three Wolves Slaughtering God Formation'!"

"Killer Starfish Pork Bone Stew: 3 stars. The fresh seafood flavor is perfectly blended with the rich wild boar bone broth. Chopped herbs and a little lemon juice make the taste more layered. After consumption, it permanently increases poison resistance (medium) and permanently increases Qi and blood recovery ability (small)"

Ye Zhi thought it was a pity that Lixi didn't get to drink the soup, otherwise he would have become more resistant to damage.

The aroma of the thick soup wafted through the air, causing Gray to drool. With a complicated look in her eyes, she muttered in a low voice:

"Strange... even the killer starfish looks so fragrant..."

Yeats served a bowl of killer starfish and pork bone stew to Grey.

Facing Gray's surprised look, Ye Zhi interrupted her and said:

"As the lord, my guards need to test poison for the lord - that's what you want to say, right?"

Gray's face flushed, and she stiffened her neck and said, "You, you are right. Even if I am poisoned, I cannot let you get poisoned!"

After saying that, Gray took the soup bowl and scooped a spoonful of the thick soup into her mouth.

Gray was stunned for a long while, with a look of shock on her face. Her eyes were a little dazed, and she murmured:

"I thought I saw killer starfish jumping around on the pig bones."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Are you really poisoned and having hallucinations?

Hildreth scooped a spoonful of the thick soup, blew away the cool air slowly, and took a sip slowly.

In the mist, Ye Zhi saw a faint smile on the corner of her mouth and her golden eyes shining slightly.

Yeats also left a special portion of killer starfish and pork bone stew, walked to the chessboard, and began to pray to the Black Knight:
“Ms. Strategy, Grandmaster of King’s Chess;
You hate capricious villains, and your sympathy is only shown to heroes.

Here, on your holy day, I offer you the gift of food.

I pray that you will send down an oracle and reveal to me the omen of the future..."

The entire chessboard was emitting light, and the chess pieces were emitting dots of light. Yeats saw the light fall on the soup bowl, covering it, and then disappear.

Hildre suddenly stood up, put the eagle helmet back on her head, and looked up at the sky above the chessboard.

There, a deep red, almost pitch-black knight chess piece appeared.

The knight chess piece unexpectedly transformed into a chestnut mare, spreading out its phantom Pegasus wings.

Ye Zhi's eyes widened in shock.

The embodiment of the Black Knight!

On the back of the chestnut mare sat a black-haired woman wearing blood-red full body plate armor. Her long black braids cascaded behind her and her eyes sparkled like gems.

As her chosen one, Hildreth was undoubtedly the focus of the Black Knight's attention, but when the incarnation of the Black Knight really arrived, Yeats was shocked.

Hildre knelt on one knee before the black-haired woman and showed her respect.

The black-haired woman nodded slightly, then looked at Ye Zhi, with a hint of doubt in her voice and a hoarse voice:
"These sacred objects of the plunderers...how do you cook them into delicacies?"

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said truthfully: "As long as you remove the poisonous part, you can eat it."

The Black Knight was silent for a while, then spoke hoarsely:
"The difficulty lies in how to remove the toxic part..."

Gray was shocked.

Yeats, the dishes you cook are so bad that even the Black Knight can’t handle them!
