Chapter 41 Cooking River Mussels

The outside of the mountainside was covered with weeds as tall as a person. After Tian Buli came out of the cave, he looked around.

After waiting for a few seconds, Tian Buli walked out holding a sharp broken stone in his hand.

"I should have known to bring a rabbit demon with me. The rabbit demon's ears are more useful than mine. Even if it can't beat the wolf demon, two are better than one."

"I must bring more rabbit monsters out in the future. I can't always take on too much. Now I'm not a real cultivator, just a man with a little strength."

Tian Buli made note of this matter in his mind and did not dare to waste any time. He quickly walked to a rock and stood there, carefully checking the weeds, hillsides, soil, rocks and trees within his sight.

There are too many weeds on the mountain. The ones I recognize are thatch, dandelions and foxtail grass, but the rest are not clear.

Just as I was about to walk out, a faint voice suddenly came from behind me.

"My benefactor..."

Tian Buli looked back and found a girl with white ears and eyebrows squatting in the grass at the entrance of the cave, carefully squatting behind the grass and looking at this side.

"Why did you come out?"

The white rabbit said weakly: "My mother asked me to come here to show the way to my benefactor."

"Just right!" Tian Buli smiled and waved, "Come here, walk with me. If you hear anything, tell me immediately."

"Yes, benefactor."

The white rabbit was obviously forced to come out and did not come here on its own initiative. It walked very carefully at this time and listened even more carefully to any movement nearby.

Tian Buli followed the white rabbit up the mountain, holding a stick and a stone in his hands. As he walked, he felt like he was taking a dog up the mountain to hunt.

"This might be the [Fa], the Fa in thousands of spells and myriad changes."

"From what Lady Rabbit said, the wolf demon's cultivation level wasn't very high at the beginning. The reason it was able to catch so many prey wasn't because of its high cultivation level, but mainly because it got that treasure recently."

“That treasure is the Dharma, it is the tool.”

"Now that I have the help of this rabbit demon who is good at listening, it is like having an extra magic weapon to avoid danger and seek good fortune."

"I don't need to have a high level of cultivation to beat the wolf demon. If I can call a group of hunters, the wolf demon will definitely run away when it sees me. This is also a method."

"Family law, national law, moral law, whatever can govern me is the law."

After figuring out the magic trick that the wolf demon used to capture the rabbit demons, Tian Buli became even more determined to destroy the magic weapon.

Not only do we need to destroy the wolf demon's magic weapon, we also need to arm ourselves and have more means of dealing with it.

The rabbit demon quickly brought Tian Buli to a peach tree where the fruits were within reach. He looked around carefully and then turned back to look at Tian Buli.

"My benefactor, the fruits here are edible. Let's finish them quickly and go back."

Tian Buli walked under the tree. There were many insects, mosquitoes, flies and rotten peaches in the weeds and soil under the peach tree, as well as some scattered branches and dead birds.

The area around the rotten peach trees was very dirty and smelly, especially the mixture of weeds and moisture from the soil, mixed with the smell of rotten mountain peaches and bird droppings. The smell was very unpleasant.

When Tian Buli was about to pick the peaches, he saw the white rabbit had already reached out and grabbed two intact big peaches.

The white rabbit's arms glowed with white light in the sunlight, looking pure and flawless, like white satin.

After looking for two or three seconds, Tian Buli looked away.

"White Rabbit, besides you, are there any other monsters on this mountain?"

When the White Rabbit heard that the person was talking to him, he put the big peaches that looked good in the pocket of his clothes and continued to pick peaches in reply.

"No more. They were all eaten by the Wolf King. There was also a mountain wolf demon that was also eaten. Its body is at the foot of the mountain."

"There are no big beasts on the mountain. The wolf king does not run up the mountain during the day. He always walks down the mountain by the water."

After the white rabbit finished speaking, he looked at Tian Buli and said sincerely: "My benefactor, if the wolf king comes, you must tell me quickly so that we can run together."

Tian Buli was speechless. He was counting on this rabbit, but he didn't expect that this little rabbit after thirty years of cultivation was so useless.

"Okay." Tian Buli lowered his head and picked up some dry firewood, then found a wild vine to tie up a large bundle of branches.

The White Rabbit quickly filled a dozen large peaches with his linen clothes. As he held the peaches in his hands, he was unable to hold anything else.

Tian Buli carried a bundle of firewood weighing more than 80 kilograms on his back, still holding sticks and stones in his hands.

"Okay, let's go back first." Tian Buli walked in front, paying attention to the nearby grass and trees to prevent being attacked by monsters.

The white rabbit followed behind with the peach in its arms, its ears standing up like a donkey's ears.

However, he would usually just hold on for a second before giving up, and subconsciously move closer to Tian Buli, leaving the task of keeping watch to Tian Buli.

The man and the rabbit successfully returned to the cave entrance. Tian Buli saw the white rabbit go straight inside after entering the cave, so he said, "Why don't we block the outside?"

Bai Tu turned around and looked at Tian Buli strangely, "It's blocked. How can we get out in the future?"

Tian Buli explained: "Of course, open it when you go out, and then block it when you come in."

The white rabbit stood there, looking confused.

"Forget it, forget it. Just go in. I can't explain it to you clearly." Tian Buli waved his hand to let her in.

"Yes! Benefactor!" The White Rabbit put aside his doubts and went straight home.

Tian Buli was not as free and easy as these little monsters. He still had some strength, so he put down the firewood, found several huge stones weighing hundreds of pounds from the fallen rocks, and moved them to the entrance of the cave one by one to block it.

Soon the black rabbit and the gray rabbit came out of the hole.

"My benefactor, what are you doing? We heard a noise in the house, and my mother asked us to come out and take a look."

Tian Buli wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Seal the entrance of the cave. This way, when the wolf demon comes in, we will know earlier and run away in advance."

After hearing this, the yellow rabbit said in embarrassment: "But in this case, we only have one way out."

Tian Buli felt strange, "Why do you think so? If you want to get out, can't you just move these stones away?"

Two rabbit monsters came over, looked at the about 1.23 meter tall rock on the ground, and quickly shook their heads together, and their two drooping long ears swung up.

"It's too heavy to move."

Tian Buli was curious about the strength of the two rabbit monsters, "You can transform, so why can't you even lift a stone?"

The black rabbit explained: "My main body is only a small ball, about the size of me..."

The black rabbit placed his hands around his belly, describing an area the size of an ordinary adult rabbit.

Tian Buli became even more curious, "Why is it so small? How big a rock can you normally lift?"

The gray rabbit said, "We rabbits don't have much strength. We monsters live for immortality, not to fight monsters. We usually eat grass and wild fruits on the ground and underground. The king can dig holes. He is bigger than all of us combined!"

Tian Buli wanted to know the specific situation, "You guys try to move the stones on the ground and see if you can lift them." The black rabbit and the gray rabbit looked around together, and soon the black rabbit grabbed the pile of firewood that Tian Buli was carrying back with both hands.

"Ah..." Black Rabbit used all his strength and quickly lifted the more than 80 kilograms of firewood from the ground a little bit at a time, and then put it back on the ground.

"I can't lift her up." Black Rabbit looked at Tian Buli honestly, and then quickly said, "Second sister is not as good as me. I am the strongest."

Tian Buli had a rough idea of ​​the fighting power of these little monsters.

Not as good as the villagers.

If the villagers weren't afraid of them, they could win alone.

Tian Buli quickly blocked the door with several huge rocks weighing one or two hundred kilograms, and blocked the gap in the middle with weeds. Then he picked up the firewood with one hand and took the two rabbits back.

There were no iron pots or seasonings in the cave, but there were some edible and fragrant flowers and plants.

These flowers and plants were planted by Rabbit Lady for the purpose of viewing and fragrance. Most of them are beautiful and extraordinary plants.

The fragrant grass in the cave is the rabbit demon's last ration. It will not eat it unless it is absolutely necessary. Most of the food stored in the cave is some dehydrated dried fruits and tree roots.

The rabbit girl had an injury on her leg and was lying quietly on the grass, dozing off. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes, sat up and greeted with a smile.

"My benefactor is back, why is there so much banging noise outside?"

Tian Buli said: "I blocked the entrance of the cave, so that we can find out in advance if the wolf demon outside comes in."

Black Rabbit said quickly, "Mother! Ben Gong is as strong as the king. He can lift a boulder that is almost as tall as me!"

The rabbit lady was relieved. "With you here, the wolf demon will not be able to get in. You must be hungry, come and eat something."

The monsters often eat, and next to the rabbit girl there are red dried dates that came from nowhere, yams that look like tree roots, and some green vegetables and peaches.

Tian Buli picked up the washed peach and took a bite. It tasted okay, slightly sweet, the fruit was crisp and the texture was just right.

Eating fruits alone was not enough to make him full, so Tian Buli quickly ate peaches while checking the clams on the ground.

At this time, the four rabbits also started to eat, and the rabbit lady took the big peach and ate it first.

The four rabbit demons quickly transformed into four rabbits the size of house cats and moved near the grass and peaches.

The black rabbit and the gray rabbit first each held a big peach with their front paws and started to eat it. The yellow rabbit also stepped on a tree root with its front paws and started to eat it.

Just as the white rabbit was about to approach Taozi, the three sisters around her kicked her and pushed her out.

Every time it wanted to get closer to the food, the three sisters would block it.

In a few minutes, the food on the ground was distributed.

The white rabbit stood up anxiously, using his feet and buttocks to keep his balance, and tried to make a praying gesture with his hands.

After a minute, the rabbit lady casually threw away a peach pit, which was barely left.

The white rabbit quickly moved over and started to nibble.

Tian Buli had already gone out to wash the ingredients. After the white rabbit crushed the peach pit and ate the unpalatable pit, it quickly followed the three rabbits and snuggled up to its mother, sleeping quietly to retain its strength.

The practice of monsters is mainly about staying alive and surviving. Most of the time they are busy eating and surviving, and do not have much time to study and practice.

Tian Buli was also busy with these things.

The bite force of river clams is very strong, and the main reason why they can trap monsters is that they can prevent them from escaping, and at the same time, the Black Wolf King is assisting.

Tian Buli quickly brought two stones, placed the clams directly on top of them, and started drilling wood to make fire.

"This thing has at least a few pounds of meat, right?"

While making a fire, Tian Buli was thinking about how to cook the clam and whether it tasted good.

You won’t be full just by eating clams.

Tian Buli quickly went to the pond to take a look, but he didn't find any fish, but he was very lucky to encounter a one-meter-long flower snake! !

"It's you!" Tian Buli stepped on the flower snake's body, picked it up and asked, "Can you speak? If not, I'll eat you."

The flower snake didn't say anything, but still opened its mouth to bite people.

After confirming that it was an ordinary snake, Tian Buli cleaned it, cut it open, lifted the snake's tail and let the snake's head approach the clam.

The clam quickly opened its huge mouth and jumped up from the ground! !
Tian Buli had quick eyes and hands, and his body movements were not slow, so he quickly let go and dodged.

boom!
The river clam landed again!

The colorful snake just now was completely cut into two pieces by this river clam.

It will be easy to deal with if you know how this thing attacks.

After waiting for a few minutes, Tian Buli found some vanilla yam and sweet potato. After using half a flower snake to lure the river clam to open its mouth again, he decisively stuffed everything in.

The clam closed its shell tightly and refused to open it again.

Tian Buli quickly found a narrow vertical gap, stuffed the shells in, and then began to clean up the space for the fire underneath.

After a few minutes, when the match burned, the clam began to shake violently, trying to bounce out.

But after being stuck in the mountains, that little bit of strength was really not enough.

Half an hour later, a large amount of aroma emanated from the cracks in the clams, and the rich and sweet juice had already dripped into the flames.

Tian Buli used a leaf to collect some abalone juice from the cracks of the clams.

It tastes a bit salty and sour, just like a mellow and rich soup.

"With such a strong bite force, the muscles should be well-developed, so the taste should not be bad."

"The main substance of clams should be calcium phosphate. I just put food in it. When the clams digested, they secreted acidic substances. After high-temperature cooking, calcium carbonate and acidic substances catalyzed chemical reactions in muscle tissue, enhancing the taste of the soup while bringing a unique appetizing taste."

"It tastes great!"

Tian Buli happily added more fire, waiting for the pot to boil at a better temperature.

Four little rabbits had sat down nearby at some point, standing up and watching Tian Buli cooking delicious food. They tilted their heads back and sniffed the air, wiping their drooling mouths with their furry paws from time to time.

Tian Buli didn't want to leave them idle, so he handed them a thick piece of wood.

"Hurry up and gnaw out the wooden bowl. I'll eat the meat later so you can lick some soup!"

"Thank you, benefactor!" The four rabbits quickly bowed with their paws to express their gratitude.

They quickly lowered their heads and approached the stick, biting the wood at four locations, and worked hard with a crackling sound.
