Chapter 553 Ingredients
Tang Sen had naturally discovered the existence of the dormant pseudo-monster a long time ago. Under his spatial perception of the surgical fruit, this monster that had been lying in wait for hunting was clearly visible.
Not only that, Tang Sen could also see two dormant pseudo-monsters hidden on the cave roof not far away.
Varro took two steps back in shock, then relaxed a little and looked at the monster that almost killed him.
"This is the first time I have seen a living dormant pseudo-monster at such a close distance."
However, his heart was very big, and he started to marvel at this: "Most of the dormant pseudo-monsters can only be found at the lowest level of the Dark Area. Even if they occasionally appear on the surface or upper levels, they have all been driven out. of the weak.”
"Look at this guy. Almost every inch of it is made for killing. If it had successfully attacked me just now, then I should be wrapped in its powerful wings and unable to move. I could only watch helplessly. It chewed my head off.”
At this point, he turned his head and said to Tang Sen: "Thank you, you saved me again."
"It's just a little effort." Tang Sen said with a smile: "As expected of Mr. Varro, he knows every monster well."
"Speaking of which, when I read the book "Varro's Monster Manual", I have always been curious about a question."
"Please feel free to ask." Varro waved his hand: "The original author is here. I am happy to answer any questions you have."
"You listed all the habits, abilities and habitats of those monsters, why did you ignore one thing?" Tang Sen asked: "For example, their edibility?"
"Coco what?"
Tang Sen repeated it, pointed at the dormant pseudo-monster, and said: "I think this point is quite important. For example, if I want to eat this guy, what should I pay attention to? Which parts of its body are poisonous? ?Which parts of the meat are more delicious?"
Varro's expression suddenly stiffened.
"I have never understood this aspect. After all, the Monster Manual is for adventurers. I think, ahem, no one would be willing to eat these weird things, right?"
"However, if an adventurer is in a situation of running out of ammunition and food, and he has to eat all the food he can find, this information will definitely come in handy." Tang Sen said seriously: "Just For example, for us now, I think it won’t be three or two days’ journey from the Dark Territory.”
Varro said quickly: "Don't worry, I have a lot of dry food with me. If you save it -"
"Mr. Varro, my appetite may be a little larger than you think." Tang Sen said regretfully: "Besides, I am really hungry now."
In the last world, Tang Sen didn't eat anything. After finally returning to Faerûn, where food is everywhere, how could he not enjoy it?
At this time, Tang Sen missed Barn particularly. He always had a way to make all kinds of strange ingredients delicious or at least edible.
Except for the amount of demon meat he was completely unable to handle.
"So, I want to know, how is Mr. Varro's cooking skills?"
"Mr. Tang, are you serious?" Varro said with a grimace: "Although as a person who often travels far away, I do have pretty good cooking skills, but I really don't think dormant pseudo monsters can be eaten. I think it might taste closer to a tough, smelly cowhide rug that's been gathering dust in an old house for decades."
"Cowhide?"
"It's just a metaphor." Seeing Tang Sen's suddenly expectant expression, Varro sighed deeply: "Well, after all, you saved my life, if you really need it, I can help You cook it. But I will never, ever take a bite!"
"Please accept my sincere thanks, Mr. Varro." Tang Sen smiled and said, "Of course, one may not be enough. Fortunately, the resources in the Underdark are quite abundant."
He casually raised his hand in the air, and two dormant pseudo-monsters suddenly appeared and froze in mid-air.
The two dormant pseudo-monsters are larger in size, with wings spread out like flying carpets even close to five meters wide.
"There are still more?" Varro was startled again. He looked at the three dormant puppets that were completely unable to resist, and looked at Tang Sen: "Mr. Tang, you are the second person I have seen cast spells so casually. People, normal spell casters can’t do this kind of thing like you.”
"Moreover, the targets are dormant pseudo-monsters. Three of these things are probably enough to kill an entire team of senior adventurers."
"No need to recite spells, no casting materials, and even silently. You are a legendary spell caster who specializes in spell casting, right?"
Tang Sen just smiled: "I still have a long way to go on the road of magic."
With Varo's small body, there was no way to cut through the dormant pseudo-monster's steel-hard skin, so Tang Sen could only do it for him. First, he helped peel off the thick skin, remove the head and internal organs, and then summoned Qingshui General. Clean all remaining meat.
"I never thought I'd be cooking at the bottom of the Underdark."
Varro muttered as he raised the bonfire, "I'm a little worried that it will attract other monsters."
"Isn't it a wonderful thing to have the ingredients come to your doorstep?" Tang Sen said with a smile.
Of course, he just said that, this is the dark area at the bottom, no matter how careful you are, so he has already sealed the entire cave, and the space of the surgical fruit has always included everything around it.
Once there is danger, he can react at any time.
And if he encounters a danger that he cannot handle, he can instantly take Varo into the endless abyss.
This was the reason why the Gate of the Abyss was originally used as a world reward. Combining a portal with the characteristics of the mind space, it became a means of escape that could not be restrained.
As the oil began to sizzle on the white flesh, a strong aroma began to fill the entire cave.
The strange fragrance lingered, making Varo swallow involuntarily.
He sprinkled the roasted meat with seasonings, handed it to Tang Sen, and said, "I can't guarantee whether this meat is poisonous or not. You are a spell caster. I suggest you use some magic means."
"Don't worry, I've already done the divination." Tang Sen took the barbecue and stuffed it directly into his mouth, his eyes involuntarily narrowed in enjoyment.
"I have to say, Mr. Varro, your craftsmanship ranks second among the people I have seen. Of course, the quality of the meat is really good, and it has a special fragrance."
There were a lot of things in Tang Sen's words that worried Varo, but following his body's instinct, he couldn't help but pick up a bunch himself and bite into them.
“It smells so good!”
