Monster Hunter: I can hear the monsters' thoughts

Chapter 43 A Gourmet Night

With experience, Lin Lin didn't have to spend much effort to cook the chosen lucky shield crab, and there was no trace of scratches on the two plump crab claws.

Lin Lin collected the crab meat and carefully put the semi-solid orange-yellow paste into a small bottle. He was lucky. The quality of this crab roe was very high, enough to be called "top-quality crab roe". The fresh fragrance made people want to take a few bites just by smelling it, and there was not even a trace of fishy smell.

After shaking the prop bag, Lin Lin felt a little unwilling. The crab meat was almost enough, but the crab roe seemed a little too little!

Let’s get another one. Killing one more won’t damage the ecology.

Lin Lin once again followed the guidance of his inner voice and found the female shield crab that was wandering around a rock, and killed it with a skillful scoop.

Lin Lin was just about to squat down and peel it off when he suddenly felt the stone under his feet vibrate violently, making it almost impossible for him to stand steadily.

"Grass!"

In order to maintain his balance, Lin Lin had no choice but to lie down and grab a few relatively protruding stones to stabilize himself.

Then he found that his perspective was constantly rising, and soon it was more than five meters above the ground, and it was still shaking.

This scene cannot be said to be familiar, it can only be said to be quite familiar. This is lying on a large monster!

As for the large monster that roams in this place, it is almost obvious that it must be the Daimyo Shield Crab.

Lin Lin felt a little numb. He had listened carefully to the inner voices, but those brainless guys only thought about eating, drinking, sleeping and teaching and training, and did not mention the existence of this famous shield crab at all.

As for why he didn't hear the voice of the daimyo shield crab before, it was because this guy was originally sleeping in the ground, but was just woken up by the noise of him killing the small shield crab. Now he turned left and right but didn't see the attacker, and was confused.

As the daimyo shield crab shook its body and shook off the dirt on its back shell, Lin Lin realized that what he was holding on to was not a rock at all, but a huge snail shell with a diameter of several meters. The protrusion he was holding on to was actually the protruding lines on the shell. The daimyo shield crab, like the small shield crab, has the habit of using hard objects to protect its delicate abdomen. I don't know where this guy got such a big snail shell.

After eavesdropping and finding that the Daimyo Shield Crab hadn't noticed him lying on its back, Lin Lin breathed a sigh of relief and gave up the idea of fighting it. He planned to wait for it to calm down before quietly leaving. After all, his main goal was to escort the crab, and it was understandable that he would leave the team to get a little snack, but it would be inappropriate if it caused trouble.

As a result, this big shield crab seemed to have had a good sleep. After being woken up by Lin Lin, it had no intention of going back to sleep. It just wandered on the river beach, digging up the mud and sand on the ground with its claws from time to time, and put the shellfish, insects, and even plant roots hidden underneath into its mouth one by one.

"This guy's eating habits are quite complicated..."

Looking back at the fresh footprints left by the Daimyo Shield Crab, the large, deep pits were very conspicuous. I hadn't noticed them before, only because this guy had slept for several days and all traces had been erased by nature.

Lin Lin loosened his hands and slid down to the ground along the curve of the shell. Fortunately, the Daimyo Shield Crab was concentrating on digging for food at the moment, and the ground was relatively soft, so the sound of Lin Lin's landing did not attract its attention.

The big shield crab started to move, and it would be dangerous to peel the small shield crab. Lin Lin looked over there regretfully, turned around and went deep into the woods.

The Daimyo Shield Crab used its claws to dig at the mud beneath its feet. Seeing that it could not find anything to eat, it stood up and prepared to change its location.

"squeak?"

The Daimyo Shield Crab moved in confusion. Why did it feel like its body suddenly became lighter? Was it an illusion?

……

As the sky gradually darkened, the convoy slowly stopped. Trucks gathered together in groups of three or four to block the night wind, and bonfires were lit to dispel the night chill.

Lin Lin took the dry food handed to him by Seabuckthorn and took a bite. His expression was a little strange. Why did this thing taste so similar to the food he brought with him? "No way, meow. I can only endure it in the wild, meow!"

As an Elu cat, Seabuckthorn eats dry food that is different from that of humans. However, judging from its expression, its dry food is undoubtedly tasteless as well.

"Didn't I tell you to get two shield crabs? Hurry and get the stuff out!"

Rachel rubbed her hands. From the way she encouraged Lin Lin to go jungle hunting, it was obvious that she also had high expectations for this delicacy.

Lin Lin opened the package, took out the soft and tender crab meat packed in crab shells made from local materials, and roasted it next to the campfire.

It has been a while since Lin Lin became a hunter. He has become somewhat unfamiliar with other cooking methods, but his barbecue skills have become more and more advanced. No matter what he grills, he can control the heat well and make it delicious and fragrant - after all, practice makes perfect.

"Meow!"

Seabuckthorn's nose twitched, and he looked at the crab skewers with sparkling eyes. It seemed that Felynx generally had no resistance to seafood.

Lin Lin also waved his hand generously, "Eat, eat as much as you want, I've got plenty of crab meat, as much as you can eat!"

"Where's the crab roe? Did you get any crab roe?"

After Rachel finished speaking, she took a bite of crab meat, then squinted her eyes and nodded. In terms of cooking, Kevin really should learn from this kid.

"There was only one crab, and the other one was a male crab. I thought the crab roe took up too much space, so I didn't get it off."

"It's okay. I recently learned a recipe for crab roe sauce. It should be enough for the trip if eaten with dry food."

Rachel got up and went to find the caravan supervisor. When she came back a moment later, she had a lot more things in her hands.

"Fortunately, although this batch of goods mainly carries knotted cloud wood, it also contains a lot of other goods. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to gather everything."

Then, under her instructions, Lin Lin boiled water in a pot, steamed the full bottle of crab roe first, then cut a piece of yolk from the hot spring egg, mixed the two together and stir-fried them, sprinkled some chopped green onion and ginger, and a few drops of ghost frog oil in the middle.

"Slurp! What a nice smell, meow!"

Seabuckthorn wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and felt like he couldn't take his eyes away.

“Not yet well!”

Lin Lin threw some of the roasted crab meat into the pot, and after continuing to stir-fry, added a little salt, a spoonful of sugar, and a small spoonful of cooking wine.

When the final product came out of the pot, it was enough to fill two large bottles. It reflected a golden-red oily luster under the firelight. Not to mention Sea Buckthorn, even other members of the nearby caravan came over after smelling the aroma. Although they didn't say anything and just pretended to be watching the fun, their appetite was directly exposed by a series of gulping sounds.

There was nothing he could do. Lin Lin was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see other people's shining eyes, so he shared one of the bottles of crab roe sauce with everyone in the caravan, winning a series of cheers and praises.

You know what, this feeling is really good.
