Monster life starting from picking up materials

"I specifically changed it to 'Theft is invalid'. I reminded you at the time, but you didn't put it in the freshman class."

The stiff knight looked at the hunter's embarrassment and finally couldn't help laughing along with the Grand Secretary.

After dropping a bottle of recovery medicine, Xialong was sent away.

Xia Bao packed up the two books, picked up the helmet and began to look for Ji Jie in the cave, wanting him to help her put the helmet back on.

The three of them continued to chase Xialong, their eyes fixed on the blurred blocks of color and the flaws revealed by carrying the "magic weapon", fearing that Xialong would disappear before their eyes in the blink of an eye.

Compared to the majestic Flame King Dragon, this half-grown Mist Dragon seems much easier to approach.

Ji Jie also noticed that Xia Bao was looking for him by sniffing around. After finding a suitable position to appear, the Mantis King appeared in front of the three of them again.

After glancing at the three of them, he took Xia Bao's helmet and began to reinstall it.

Xia Bao would sometimes accidentally take off his helmet, and then he would need help to put it back on, so he was quite familiar with the process.

After being glanced at by Ge Mantis's indifferent gaze, the three of them quickly shrank behind a rock and began to observe the rare interaction between the ancient dragons and non-ancient dragon members of the monster group.

As previously speculated, Xialong and Ge Mantis are very close, and Xialong almost buried his head in Ge Mantis's arms.

Ge Mantis took Xialong's helmet, opened the steel plate longitudinally with his two arms, straightened the connecting silk threads to form an opening, and Xialong stretched out his head and inserted it into the helmet.

After Ge Mantis retracted his mantis arm and hung the helmet on Xialong's head, he began to tighten the silk thread with the curved hook at the end of his mantis arm to adjust the angle of the helmet.

The two monsters' movements were very skillful, and this was not the first time they had interacted like this. The Mantis King showed the care and love of an elder for the young, which amazed the three of them.

"No matter how you look at it, she's more virtuous than the female mantis."

“A rare sight.”

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine such a scene happening to two completely different monsters. The Xialong is a solitary monster, and the Ge Mantis is a ferocious beetle species."

The Grand Secretary marveled at their retreating figures and wanted to follow them, but was forced back behind the rock by the Mantis King's gaze.

Although they were unable to continue tracking, they still made many discoveries afterwards.

For example, that special "Amber Destroyer" dragon slayer seems to have the habit of crushing dragons. It will place the tail of its sword on the slime mold carpet, causing the slime mold to cling to its long tail.

Next to the partial sketch of the sword tail touching the slime mold carpet, there is a string of small words written - "Explosive Dragon Slash", "Explosive Dragon Slash", "'Explosive Blade' Dragon Slash" and other names.

Another example is the silk threads of varying lengths and the rock pillars that rise and fall, which make inconsistent, soft noises as the mantis pulls them with its hook.

Most unexpectedly, they could faintly hear the melody composed of these sounds - "Hero's Testimony".

There was also the Flame Queen Dragon, scooping water from a large pot in its mouth. Unfortunately, as soon as they approached, the Flame Queen Dragon would glare at them and make threatening noises. Naturally, they didn't dare to get any closer, lamenting that they had no chance of being treated to a meal like the Grand Master...

"We should go."

It was not until the sky darkened that they walked towards the exit of the cave reluctantly. However, at this moment, they happened to meet Xialong who was playing with the "Roasted Dragon Leg Steak".

"boom!"

A piece of rock was shattered, and Xialong turned out the flat "stone plate" from the rubble, and then picked up other stones.

Xialong didn't pay much attention to their presence and let them come closer to study what that thing was.

"This doesn't look like stone. Could it be a part of the ruined city?"

The Grand Secretary couldn't stop speculating.

At this time, the stone plate was covered with dust and stone chips, and it was completely impossible to tell that it was a piece of food.

"Does it smell nice? Let me wipe off the dust."

After wiping off the dust, a burnt brown crust was revealed, like something that had been burnt.

They looked up at Xialong, but Xiabao had no interest in the "Roasted Dragon Leg Steak" and gave up the ownership directly and went to look for something else interesting.

“I feel like this is a piece of barbecue.”

An Ye squatted down and stared carefully at the texture on the skin. The more he looked, the more certain his guess became.

"Barbecue, what kind of barbecue can be so hard?"

The knight standing there looked at the shattered rock with some disbelief.

"Let me cut it open and take a look."

As he spoke, An Ye pulled out the peeling knife, and with one cut, a few sparks exploded.

"I feel like it could be used to sharpen knives."

Having said that, he still managed to cut through the burnt brown skin, revealing the texture of the flesh underneath.

"It's really barbecue, although I don't know the ingredients."

An Ye leaned in close to the cut and sniffed, then raised his head and replied. Then, with a sudden thought, he lowered his head and started cutting again. He wrapped the clean meat in paper and handed it to the other two people:

"Would you like to try it?"

“Is this really edible?”

“I can’t bite it.”

"I can't even bite it down even if my teeth are broken."

"Why is your nose bleeding?"

Chapter 643: The “destroyed” notebook.

"So, what kind of meat is this?"

The two men looked at the blood on their hands and felt as if they had taken a ghost pill. Only the Grand Secretary escaped because he could not bite it.

As hunters, they ate a lot of monster meat on a daily basis. Eating cat food made from monster meat would make their whole body hot, but it was never as hot as this to the point of nosebleeds. It reminded them of the first time they ate it as a tonic.

"We'll have to go back and test it to find out. Perhaps it's due to a difference in the cooking method. To bake it so hard, the heat must have been extremely high, and the heat was condensed and stored, without any loss."

As the Grand Secretary spoke, he began to break the strip of meat in his hand with force, but he couldn't break it no matter how hard he tried.

The monster meat that people usually eat is mostly kneaded and marinated before cooking. This is not only to allow humans to withstand the energy contained in it, but also to allow it to be smoothly cooked by the flame to avoid the situation where it is not cooked by charcoal fire and is burned into charcoal by coal fire.

And this piece of meat that can crush rocks, regardless of its origin or cooking process, obviously does not have and does not need to take this aspect into consideration.

Thinking of this, he gave up messing with the meat strips and handed them to An Ye.

The hunter thought for a moment, pulled out the charged sword from the shield scabbard, and grasped the strip of meat as if it were a grinding stone, sharpening the blade.

As he gradually exerted strength, sparks flew between the meat strip and the sword blade. The sword blade cut into the meat strip, leaving it stained with a thin layer of oil, and a slight fragrance could be smelled.

As An Ye swung his arm, the charged sword hit the stone on the roadside. There was no collision at all, but it left a clear mark on it smoothly. The drawn sword blade was still shiny.

"I'm not sure if it's the [Secret of the Dark Lantern Dragon], but it feels like it's been [Sharpened by the Hard Blade]. Try it."

Worried that the [mystery of the Dark Lantern Dragon] would affect his judgment, Dark Night said as he handed the remaining piece of meat to the knight.

The knight's eyes twitched slightly, but he still took the strip of meat and started grinding it. After trying it, he nodded, verifying An Ye's guess.

When fighting with monsters, the monster's shell will scratch the blade. After finally breaking the shell, the meat and blood will accumulate on the blade, affecting the sharpness. Grinding with the strips of meat cut from this piece of steak that does not look like human food does have a certain hard blade grinding effect.

Staring at the oily sheen on it, An Ye couldn't help but sniff it. It smelled quite fragrant.

But the source of this thing means that it cannot be mass-produced, and using it to sharpen knives would be a waste of resources. Let's hand it over to the Longli Academy for research.

After putting away the steaks and walking out of the volcanic cave, the temperature dropped sharply, but it was not cool.

"By the way, what's in that notebook? The layout seems to be in the style of the Dragon Calendar Institute."

The knight remembered the Grand Secretary's previous lobbying and asked, and An Ye also cast a curious look at him.

"Well, this..."

The Grand Secretary's face turned red and he shook his head slightly.

Because they had tried their best to defeat Rougan before, the two men did not notice anything. When they saw the Grand Secretary shaking his head, they just thought it was a secret of the Dragon Calendar Academy.

Although the Dragon Calendar Institute has close cooperation with various forces, its headquarters is only open to scholars. For the tool people, it is still a secret place of the dragon people. It is said that it is a treasure trove with mountains of books and monster materials.

They hadn't walked too far when a sudden movement approached them, causing them to look at the newcomers warily.

It was a female hunter with the emblem of the Dragon Calendar Institute on her armor, and she was waving at them timidly.

"Grand Secretary!"

"Ah, it's Doris, why are you here?"

The Grand Secretary looked at the visitor and recognized her as the author of the forbidden book. He responded with a smile, thinking that when she came to consult him again in the future, he would send her away so that he could look through the hidden contents of her book.

That kind of content that is suitable for all ages must be criticized!

"I lost my notebook. I think it was during an investigation mission, so I came all the way here to check it out."

Doris glanced at An Ye and spoke nervously, "I submitted the application...Have you seen the notebook on the way?"

In her heart, she hoped that the three of them had picked up the book, but she also prayed that they hadn't dug deep into the last pages of the book.

The three people in front of him were full of them. One was the Grand Secretary of the Dragon Calendar Academy, one was the leader of hunters and the judge of poachers, and even the last one was a knight of the kingdom, so rigid.

"Well, don't go into the volcanic area. It's dangerous inside."

When Anye heard the word "book", he immediately understood the origin of the book in Xialong's hand, but he had no intention of telling him the whereabouts of the book.

Since the Grand Secretary has guaranteed the contents of the book and it is the business of the Dragon Calendar Institute, it is naturally up to the Grand Secretary to decide whether to disclose the details of the investigation.

"Your book..."

The Grand Secretary scratched his sparse hair. His mind was not as quick as An Ye's. His hesitating and slightly blushing face was naturally seen by Doris. The female hunter felt cold all over for a moment and felt that her life was probably over.

Is it too late for her to leave the Dragon Academy now? Dark Night represents the Guild, and the Knight represents the Kingdom. If she changes jobs now, both of them will undoubtedly be scrutinized. She can't stay in the Guild, the Kingdom, or the Dragon Academy. Wouldn't her future filled with honors be completely blocked? Wouldn't there be no place for her on this continent?

Oh my god! Are we going to escape to the New World?

The panic-stricken look of the female hunter made An Ye certain of his guess. The contents of the book must be very important to Longliyuan, otherwise why would she be so panicked after being discovered to be lost.

At the same time, Doris also caught the understanding in An Ye's eyes. For a moment, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. She immediately confirmed that her notebook had been picked up and read. When she thought about being criticized for the contents of the book, her toes dug into the soles of her boots, and tears were already streaming down her face.

Ruined!

"Well, we did find your book, but we dropped it when we were chased by monsters in the volcano. Then it was destroyed by the monsters. Yes, destroyed!"

The Grand Secretary looked at Doris's frightened face and guessed the reason for the young man's panic. He chose to make up a clumsy lie to quickly explain the whereabouts of the book.

The unaware Dark Night and the Knight were watching. He was shy and didn't want them to know that he, a distinguished Grand Secretary of the Dragon Calendar Academy, was always acting inappropriately. This was closely related to the moral integrity of both of them, so it was better to end it quickly.

Anyway, if the notebook fell into Xialong's hands, it would be no different from being destroyed. Could Xialong still return the notebook?!

How could such a coincidence happen?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"call!"

Doris patted her chest, looked grateful, and was glad to have escaped.

Dark Night and the Knight took this as the Grand Secretary's kindness and nodded slightly.

But what they didn't know was that this whole scene was seen by Ji Jie who was following them. Although he couldn't hear their inner thoughts, the changes in their expressions he saw made him laugh.

The Hate Bird, hiding in the shadows of the leaves, laughed silently until its stomach started to ache. It then rolled off the branch and rolled in the grass.

Chapter 644: As long as there is a little pursuit.

"Hahahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

It was not until the hunters had gone far away that Ji Jie burst into laughter. After laughing for a long time, he flapped his wings and flew back to the temporary cave.

In the cave, Nana was preparing dinner, and Xia Bao was lying on the side watching. After seeing the dragon-slaying meat turned into steaks harder than stone again under the high temperature of the hellfire, she went to the side in disappointment and flipped through her two books.

The Grand Secretary threw his notebook aside after a short while, still reading the taboo contents written by the female hunter.

Ji Jie transformed into a mantis and hooked a piece of steak. He cut it into pieces and ate it with his mouthparts. At the same time, he walked to Xia Bao and read the forbidden contents in the book. He was just sewing the page that had no follow-up.

Suddenly, the steak in my hand became tasteless.

"Why don't you return the notebook?"

"Wow?!"

Xia Bao was stunned and hid the notebook under her arm with her paws, looking reluctant.
