Chapter 2 2 Are You Sure You Can Eat It?

Chapter 2 2. Are you sure... you can eat it?

After Lu Yu got up, he looked at Lulutis floating in the air in front of him and yawned.

I don’t know why, but my dream last night was full of black mist and tentacles everywhere.

In the dream, he played hide-and-seek all night with the tentacles that always wanted to catch him.

Now that I'm awake, my mind is still filled with weird images of a bunch of tentacles trying to wrap around me.

Ignoring Lulutis, Lu Yu walked to the edge of the tree hole and took a look outside.

At this time, the sky was slightly bright. The snow that suddenly fell last night had stopped at some point, and there was not much snow.

The fall of the first snow filled Lu Yu with a sense of crisis.

Without him, he would not have prepared any food reserves for the winter.

Lu Yu sighed, walked to his straw nest, and began to count the food he had.

Pine nuts, two mineral water bottles.

Unknown, but I have personally observed that there are thirteen fruits that other animals can eat without any problems, and the sizes are still uneven.

There is only one squirrel left that was ransacked by Lu Yu.

"Too few..." Lu Yu was worried.

"Are you worried about food?" Lulutis' spiritual magic turned on the connection mode without warning.

Lu Yu, who was immersed in his daily mechanical life, finally came back to his senses. There was a new guest in his tree hole last night.

Lu Yu couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of the squirrel Lulutis ate last night.

One more person to share the food with...

"are you hungry?"

"Even if my body becomes like this, I still need to maintain energy intake."

Lu Yu also felt that he had asked a stupid question.

He poured out half a bottle of pine nuts and divided them equally between the lunch box and a small bowl.

"Food is in short supply. We can only eat so much today."

Lulutis looked at the pine nuts in her bowl and was silent for a while.

"Thank you for the food. I won't eat it for free. If you need my help, you can tell me."

Lu Yu competed with the pine nut shells with his nails and laughed when he heard Lulutis's voice.

Got some more useful information.

Lulutis was not willing to ask for her food in vain.

I still thank myself after eating my own food yesterday.

This is education and a good character.

Lu Yu didn't waste any words: "There's not enough food. I need to stock up on rations before the cold winter comes."

"May I ask, do you have a good appetite?"

Lulutis was stunned for a while and glanced at the mineral water bottle that Lu Yu used to store pine nuts.

"Pine nuts in that strange magic container. At least, I can eat one bottle a day."

Lu Yu was thoughtful and probably figured out how much Lulutis ate.

"I'll go out later. Come and help. It's hard to get enough food for two people. I just hope we have better luck."

Lulutis's tentacles are really very convenient. Each of the dozen or so tentacles picked up a pine nut, rubbed it hard, and peeled off the outer shell of the pine nut.

This multi-threaded work is extremely efficient, making Lulutis eat pine nuts one bite after another.

"Turn off your mental magic, I can hear the sound of your chewing!"

After speaking, Lu Yu handed his pine nuts to Lulutis.

"I'm not asking you to eat it, I'm asking you to peel it for me. Anyway, you have many tentacles and they are easy to use."

Lulutis did not refuse and helped Lu Yu deal with the pine nuts neatly.

Although pine nuts are sweet and delicious, they are not very filling.

Lulutis was okay. According to her, this body should have inherited the previous appetite, so she didn't need to eat too much.

But Lu Yu was an adult after all. After eating these pine nuts with hot water, let alone being half full, it was not enough to fill his stomach.

"I hope I can have a good harvest today." Lu Yu secretly prayed.

Maybe it's because I've been unlucky for too long, but good luck comes as it comes.

Not long after Lu Yu and Lulutis left the tree hole, they found a lone wolf that was frozen solid lying on the ground. It was covered with wounds. It was unknown what it had fought with.

Lu Yu and Lulutis were very happy when they licked the buns when they went out. At least they didn't have to worry about food tonight.

The trap Lu Yu made was very crude.

Dig a large hole and fill it with sharpened sticks.

Finally, use branches to cover up the hole.

Lu Yu couldn't make a trap that was too elaborate. This trap was the best thing he could come up with.

And the results are pretty good. If a small animal slips in and jumps around, it's basically a heart-wrenching end.

There are always three or two unlucky beasts falling into this trap every month.

Of course, you will never die if you step into these strange beasts, which means you will be injured and bleed.

It's just that this blood stain often leads to the arrival of some uninvited guests...for example, the white wolf.

Lu Yu always handles the leftovers after the white wolf hunts, which even gives him the illusion that he is cooperating with the white wolf.

Facts have proved that good luck does not last forever, and the trap is empty.

Having found nothing, Lu Yu was about to turn around and let Lulutis float up to several nearby big trees to see if there were any tree holes to dig out.

The tentacles wrapped around Lu Yu's waist without any warning and pulled him back suddenly.

Before Lu Yu could realize what was happening, a small earth bag next to the area where the trap was located suddenly exploded.

A group of gel-like objects that emit light green luster under the light and are slightly transparent jump into view.

Its entire body was like a piece of soft candy that had been bent by someone, presenting an arched shape, with a strange green light flashing at the front of the body.

In the moment before the green light completely lit up, Lulutis's tentacles pierced out like a sharp cone.

The sharpness of Lulutis's tentacles was beyond Lu Yu's imagination. She easily pierced through the body of this monster, like a string of candied haws.

The sound of "puff puff" rang out one after another, and the body of the monster quickly shrank, and a large amount of light green juice flowed out of its body and dripped onto the ground.

"Don't stand there, don't you bring tools? Take these juices!"

Lulutis's voice made Lu Yu act hurriedly.

He took out a bottle from his backpack, looked at the sticky green juice, hesitated for a moment, and put the bottle mouth against the hole of the leaking monster.

His fingers touched the body of the monster lightly, it was very cold, and the touch was similar to pressing a piece of gel.

After Lu Yu filled the bottle, the juice became less and less. As Lulutis slowly pulled out the tentacles, the monster's half-shrunken body fell to the ground.

"What is this, a slime?"

After Lulutis kept waving his tentacles to shake off the mucus, Lu Yu finally found an opportunity to ask his doubts.

Lulutis said "Oh" in surprise.

"You also know about slimes?"

"I know a little."

"It is indeed a slime, this is an omnivorous jungle slime. Under normal circumstances, it can survive by absorbing nutrients from the sun, the earth, and vegetation."

"But... when winter comes, in order to ensure sufficient energy, they will start hunting mode."

"When a defenseless person like you is paralyzed by it, he will be secreted by a large amount of corrosive liquid... Anyway, even the bone residue will become its nutrients in the end."

Lu Yu, who was still frightened, looked at the slime on the ground. He did see the green rhizomes exposed outside, but he was so anxious to see the trap that he ignored this fatal detail.

"The remaining body tissue of the slime can be eaten, I plan to take it back... You know slime, so can you cook slime?"

Damn!

This is too out of scope.

How to cook this sticky thing?

Wait a minute...

Sticky...

Could it be that after cooking it, it can taste like the sticky texture of a pork elbow after it is stewed until soft?

It's over. When Lu Yu thought of the pork elbow, tears flowed from the corners of his mouth.

One month, a whole month!

He really wanted to eat meat happily, eat pork belly with big mouthfuls, eat rock sugar elbow with a big bowl of rice.

"Are you sure you can eat it?" Lu Yu asked.

Lulutis said: "When I attended the imperial court banquet, I ate at least three slime-related dishes and four slime-related desserts."

"Slime absorbs energy and converts it into pure magic elements. It is full of treasures. There is even an industry dedicated to raising slimes. You really don't know this?"

"How should I know? I saw a living slime for the first time today!" Lu Yu explained.

"Does this mean that no one in your area has ever eaten slime? What kind of food desert is this? You don't even dare to develop slime dishes."

I don't know if there is a problem with Lulutis's spiritual magic. Why did the topic turn to the food desert?

There are no slime dishes. It's because we haven't seen slime, okay?

I can't stand it.

The reason why Lu Yu brought a backpack of bottles and jars with all kinds of seasonings when he graduated and left school was because he was a foodie.

The food in the school cafeteria that fed Mr. Ke, who had to pass a sanity test, tortured Lu Yu's taste buds all the time, and finally forced Lu Yu to learn a few tricks.

It's just a slime, kill him!

He dug a tree hole and robbed a bunch of squirrels.

Lulutis put the slime on his tentacles and raised it above his head.

After working for half a day, the two left the area with joy of harvest. Before leaving, Lu Yu camouflaged the traps, hoping to get something next time.
