Chapter 692: Eating So Clean
When the researchers arrived at the scene, they saw only a mess of dark red blood and several grooves dug by giant claws. The once majestic centipede monster Mkadanda had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed. "Poor Mkadanda was eaten." A young researcher said in a trembling voice, his eyes behind the glasses full of disbelief.

"There's nothing left!" Another white-haired old professor squatted down, groping on the ground with trembling hands, trying to find even a small piece of debris, but in the end he only grabbed a handful of mud mixed with blood. The sampling box and analysis instruments brought by the research team were still intact on their shoulders, but facing this empty battlefield, it seemed extremely ironic.

"It's so damn clean!" The captain kicked away half of a piece of stone covered with slime, his face flushed with anger, "This guy Patton ate it so cleanly, there was nothing left!" The scene was filled with a strong fishy smell, which was the residual smell of the monster's body fluids, but there were no tissue samples for research.

"Wow! It's too cruel!" A female researcher suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears, the words in the notebook in her hand were blurred by her tears, "We don't even have a chance to do any research! There's not even any meat left! Waaaaaaaa!!!" They had originally planned to study Mkadanda's split regeneration ability, the structure of its venom glands, and even prepared to analyze its connection with the legendary seal. Now, these plans have all come to nothing as the monster was swallowed.

"Is this the monster Patton?" someone murmured, his voice full of powerlessness and fear. Everyone then truly felt that in the survival rules of these behemoths, human scientific research needs were not taken into account at all.

At this time, Barton was squatting on a distant hilltop, squinting his eyes after a full meal, combing his feathers slowly with his wings, and making a satisfied "gurgling" sound in his throat. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stood up suddenly, flapped his wings and flew towards the base. After a while, he held a few huge, shiny bones in his mouth and threw them in front of Cui Ming with a "snap", and shouted excitedly: "Great!"

The researchers rushed over after hearing the noise, and their faces turned pale instantly when they saw this scene. "Stop it!!!" The old professor almost screamed and rushed forward, but he was still a step too late - Barton used his claws to randomly pick the bones, and with a "crack", he crushed the thickest thigh bone into powder, and the flying bone fragments were blown away by the wind. "Brother! You should leave the bones!!!!" The female researcher grabbed her hair in despair, tears welling up again, but Barton just tilted his head, made a few puzzled calls, shook his wings, and flew away slowly, leaving behind a mess on the ground and a research team that wanted to cry but couldn't.

Finally, Patton gave all his bones to Cui Ming.

It's ok, at least there's something.
At this time, Cui Ming looked at the huge skeleton in front of him.
Um.
Let's make soup.
Cui Ming looked at the huge bones of Mkadadan on the ground, and suddenly a bold and absurd idea flashed through his mind.

He thought that since the researchers' hopes of obtaining research materials from these bones had been dashed (who cares if they still had hope!), they might as well recycle the waste and see if they could get something special out of the bones of this monster.

So Cui Ming directly found a few assistants and took great pains to carry the bones to a makeshift kitchen at the base. Each of these bones was larger than a person, and because they had just been eaten, there was no fishy smell.

"Captain, can you make soup? It's so clean." Although Aragaki was also hungry, he looked at this thing.
Can I still eat it? "Don't worry, you can eat it."

Cui Ming recalled some ancient cooking methods he had heard of. He and others repeatedly washed the bones with a high-pressure water gun, trying to clean the impurities on them. The water flow hit the bones, making a "crackling" sound. Although Barton ate it quite cleanly, he still needed to be careful.

After cleaning, Cui Ming controlled Barga to break the bones and put them into a huge stainless steel pot. This pot was prepared by the base for large-scale field operations, and it was surprisingly suitable for boiling monster bones at this moment. He added enough water to the pot, and then put in ginger slices, scallions and some cooking wine. These seasonings were collected from the small warehouse of the base. They were originally intended to improve daily diet, but they were unexpectedly put to use at this moment. He turned on the fire and let the water boil quickly. In an instant, the water in the pot rolled and made a "gurgling" sound. White foam kept surging. Cui Ming was quick-witted and picked up the soup spoon to quickly skim off the foam to ensure that the soup was clear.

As time went on, the fire died down and the pot remained at a slight boil.

Cui Ming stood aside, staring at the pot with a focused look as if he was conducting a crucial experiment. Others around him watched curiously and nervously, whispering about this strange soup-making behavior.

"Captain, is the soup made from these bones drinkable?" Although Kotaro trusted Cui Ming's cooking skills, he didn't trust the ingredients, so he couldn't help asking. Cui Ming didn't answer immediately, but just stared at the pot firmly, and said slowly: "How can you know if you don't try it?"

Two hours later, a strange smell filled the kitchen. The original fishy smell gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable mellow fragrance, which seemed to be mixed with a hint of mystery, making people want to find out. Cui Ming opened the lid of the pot and saw that the soup in the pot had become thick and presented an attractive milky white color, like milk.

He decided to add some ingredients to the soup to make it more nutritious. He ordered people to find some herbs collected from the nearby mountains and forests. These herbs have the effect of strengthening the body. The assistants washed and chopped the herbs and carefully put them into the pot. Then they added some precious ingredients stored at the base, such as deep-sea fish oil and plateau cordyceps. These ingredients are extremely rare at ordinary times. At this moment, Cui Ming put them all into the pot just to maximize the value of this pot of soup.

After another hour of stewing, the soup made from the bones of Mukadadan was finally ready. Cui Ming served a bowl of the steaming soup, which exuded a rich aroma, making the people around him swallow their saliva. He blew it gently, took a sip, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face. The taste of this soup is extremely complex, with the mellowness of the bones themselves and the unique flavors of herbs and ingredients, interweaving a wonderful taste on the tip of the tongue. As for whether this soup really has any special effects, Cui Ming has no idea, but he knows that this is a bold attempt, and perhaps this pot of soup will bring them unexpected gains.
