[Through] Delicious Journey

Chapter 40

The boat is moored on the east bank of Berry Tart Island. After getting off the boat, there is a flat Berry Tart Plain. Strawberry Tart spreads over half of the island in the shape of sunflower flowers, and occupies one side with the chocolate swamp area in the west. This is the main feature of Berry Tart Island, which is the reason for the name of Berry Tart Island.

The reason why you don’t dock at the west side of the island and get off the boat directly to the Chocolate Swamp is because the soil in the swamp will sink like quicksand, and people who step on it will sink deeper and deeper, and their lives will be in danger.

Of course, another major problem is that the giant oyster mushroom rock they are looking for is the closest from the west.

"Xiao Xin, Amao, come with me, and the others guard the boat." Yi Nie stretched lazily and got up, "Xiao Bei also stayed on the boat, just in time Moore can tell him about the use of soul power."

The young man in the plush hat stood up and sat up on the deck. When he received Yi Nie's eyes, he immediately suppressed the helplessness in his heart that he couldn't get to the shore, and lay back with his hands open, "Okay, I want to eat chocolate with peanut butter, remember to bring more Come back at one o'clock."

After a round of arrangement, the last five people to go to the island are Ying Cui, Yi Nie, Fan Mi, Xiao Xin and Amao.

Well, if it wasn't for the fear of being injured in an unexpected situation or getting lost and not being able to find someone, Yi Nie would be more willing for the two of them to go into battle lightly, well, it's the so-called cultivation of relationship.

"This ground is so soft." Ying Cui felt that the touch under her feet was a bit weird. The ground was soft when she stepped on it, a bit like the marshmallow ground in Karel City, but it was obviously different from the marshmallow ground. The light color was burnt yellow. It is distinguished.

Rather, it's a bit like a baked cake.

Thinking of this, Ying Cui crouched on the ground and dialed. Now that she is on the island, she must think about what she is interested in.

When I dug in the ground with my hands, the top layer of the ground is not soil, but a layer of earth-colored film, a bit like the layer in the center of the egg white and eggshell when beating eggs. The cover here is used to shape and protect the color.

After the membrane is broken, the inside is milky yellow, and when you stir it with your fingers, it becomes very sticky.

"This?" Ying Cui looked at Yi Nie who was picking strawberry tarts, "Can I eat it?"

Each of them carried a small skin bag on their backs, and the strawberry tart was really the size of a sunflower, no, it was slightly bigger than that, with a stem that was waist-high, and each flower disc was as big as a washbasin. It's not dense, maybe you can't take a step inside.

Now, they were eating strawberry tarts one by one, like little boys picking mushrooms.

The little boy picking mushrooms?

Ying Cui was so embarrassed by her own thought, if Cha Bei was here, it would be okay, now, ahem, a muscular man picking mushrooms?

The end result of overthinking is laughing out loud.

Yi Nie, who came over in response to the sound, was terrified, and looked at the ground, "There are no laughing mushrooms." Then she touched Ying Cui's forehead, and said to herself, "I'm not sick."

"..." Ying Cui slapped the paws in front of her forehead, glared at Yi Nie, and lowered her head to dig the ground.

The soft soil layer was dug open, and the fingertips felt a bit like sand and cream. When I dug out a large piece and held it in the palm of my hand, the "soil" that was off the ground quickly melted and fell back to the ground along the fingers, and then solidified and formed.

"Huh, how did it melt?" Ying Cui looked up and asked Yi Nie, he could smell the rich aroma of strawberries, which means that the land is probably also a kind of food, but why it seems that it can't be collected.

Yi Nie held a palm-sized round cake that looked like an egg tart, and handed it along with a spoon, "Use this to dig it out and put it on top of the raspberry tart. It tastes very good."

Ying Cui was skeptical, "I see why Amao ate it directly just now?" Looking down at the food in his hand, it was warm, as if freshly baked under the sun, "Is this a berry tart?"

"En." Yi Nie also held a spoon in his hand, "To be precise, it's called Berry Tart, it's very crispy, and it tastes good when eaten dry."

He put his spoon into the soil that Ying Cui had dug up, shoveled it down hard, and continued, "This soil is called crispy soil, and it will melt away quickly when the temperature of your hands is higher than its melting point." He scooped up a piece and shoveled it onto the tart holder in Ying Cui's hand.

The tart tray is in the shape of a concave inverted tower trapezoid, with a layer between the top and the bottom. It is bulging like something stuffed in the middle. Its edges are very beautiful, with folded wavy fan-shaped patterns, and the color is crisp yellow. Made like baked pancakes.

After a spoonful of the crispy soil is buckled, it becomes a real tart, especially the right temperature of the strawberry tart base just makes the crispy soil melt from the top, reflecting a layer of honey color.

"Wait to eat." Ying Cui was stopped by Yi Nie when she opened her mouth to bite, and stopped because she didn't understand.

Yi Nie exchanged the one in Ying Cui's hand with the one she had just made, and then nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, let's eat."

"..."

Reluctant to helpless, Ying Cui would not wrong her stomach, took a bite at the junction of crispy soil and tart, and immediately the strong fresh strawberry flavor overflowed her taste buds.

Soft but not greasy, like the smoothness of cream and the sand of ice cream, a bit like mashed apple puree, the taste that melts in the mouth is sandwiched in the crispness of the raspberry tart pancake, and the more wonderful thing is the middle of the two tarts The layer has the toughness like gluten. It combines soft and crisp, soft and firm, and melts the strawberry tart into a dessert.

"Snapped."

When the thoughts were immersed in the delicious food, a vine-like object suddenly sprang up from the ground and entangled the two of them.

Ying Cui was startled, the vine was not thick, it was only as wide as a thumb, but it was very fast and appeared suddenly again, causing her heart to stop beating for a few rounds, and then "plop plop plop" started beating violently.

However, Yi Nie seemed to have been prepared for a long time. The moment the plant rose from the ground, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the vine in his hand like catching a snake. His other hand was still eating a strawberry tart, with a calm expression like It's doing something normal.

Ying Cui swallowed, and looked at the dancing vine, only to realize that it was actually a green snake.The stalks of the Berry Tart Sunflower are all green, making it difficult for the snake to be found hiding inside. If he was the only one just now, he might have been bitten by now.

The hunting area, apart from the high-quality ingredients, is really dangerous.

"Good luck." Yi Nie whistled, "additional meal in the evening." Looking back and seeing Ying Cui who was still sitting on the ground, she shook her head and sighed, "Seeing that you are so timid and love money so much, you are angry If you still have domestic violence, then only I will want you."

"..." I don't care that you want me at all!real!Please don't ask for it!

In a blink of an eye, the sun is westward.

The crispy land area of ​​Berry Tart Island is only the outermost kilometer belt of the island. After passing through the Berry Tart Sunflower Area, it is an ordinary land. The only thing that is the same is that the Berry Tart Sunflower also grows on it.

However, they are not as good as those on the crisp soil belt, and their taste is not as strong as the former, and there are more plants growing between the plants.

The group found a place with trees and started a fire.

Yi Nie and Ah Mao hunted two birds, which were as big as ostriches, and the meat was thick and firm, and the mouths of five people were full of greasy food.

There is still half a day away from Pleurotus Rock, so I decided to make some adjustments and continue on the road tomorrow.

Yi Nie was forced to stay and watch the night; Ying Cui huddled by the fire and slept soundly with her small treasury slowly filled; Fan Mi slept on a branch with a cowboy hat on; tree.

The night slowly sank.

Ying Cui was woken up in a half-dream and half-awake by someone, and then there was a rustling sound like people walking lightly, and then the sound became louder and became the muffled sound of many things hitting the ground at the same time.

Drowsiness disappeared cleanly.

Sitting up with the package in his arms, he saw that other people had woken up and surrounded him in a circle to protect him.

Around the five people, more than [-] people in animal skin clothes surrounded them, holding earthen weapons in their hands, with fierce faces.

Ying Cui shuddered, and wrapped her hands tightly.

The silver light of the bright moon and the open fire of the firewood cast shadows on the faces of the group of people, and the eyes were shining brightly, which was very penetrating.

"Indigenous?" Ying Cui stood behind Yi Nie and asked in a low voice.

Yi Nie squinted her eyes, "Momaimang."

"Ah? Who?"

"It's okay to say it's an aborigine." Yi Nie expressed his powerlessness in response to Cui's common sense Xiaobai.

At this time, one of the Momaimang people walked out, the tip of the weapon in his hand glowed coldly, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Get out, poacher!"

After drinking, the others also shouted, "Get out, poacher!" The voice on the plain seemed empty.

Xiaoxin's face darkened, and with a lift of her hand, she pulled Amao up who was squatting on the ground.

"What poachers?" Ying Cui poked Yi Nie, "It looks like we haven't done anything yet." Then Yi Nie grabbed his hand, hooked his waist and put it into his arms, "..."

"Let's go." Yi Nie said in a low voice, hugging Ying Cui and leaping up the big tree, when she fell again, she was already outside the encirclement of these people.

The rest of the people understood and immediately followed.

On the contrary, the Momaimang people who were surrounded by the trees were dumbfounded. When they came back to their senses, there was no sign of people on the vast plain.

It's too easy to go, isn't it?

There was a moment of silence under the tree.

It took a while for the leader to murmur, "What a speed."

……

Yi Nie hugged Ying Cui, Ying Cui hugged the small treasury, and the four of them ran wildly on the field with one of them in their arms.

The wind is blowing, with frost and dew, and the drowsiness before sunrise.

They ran out for a long time, Dongfang Sun could vaguely see some shadows before stopping.

"What happened just now?" Ying Cui panted, and it was time to ask.Don't look at him being taken all the way here, the wind brought by this speed did not make him less guilty.

"He came from Pleurotus Rock." Fanmi said.He was lying on the tree, and the direction when people came was the clearest.

"The distribution of the Momaimang people's ethnic group is there." Xiao Xin stroked the messy bangs on her forehead with a comb. "The question should be why they called us poachers. Could it be that there were poachers here before us?"

The existence of the top ten gourmet hunters is to balance the exploitation of hunting areas. The existence of the Momaimans and other races in the world such as the Kemici and Banbu have the same goal as the gourmet hunters, except that the former protect a large area and the latter The latter is a food area intended for generations to live.

This is also the reason why Yi Nie doesn't want to conflict with the Momaimang people. After all, according to the general trend, they are on the same front.

It's just that they were suddenly attacked this time, and the other party was the Momaimang, one of the guardian groups, which made them feel more delicate.

"Poachers?" Ying Cui asked puzzled, "Poachers are also hunters? Isn't the hunting area free and open for picking, or are some ingredients too rare, so the collection is restricted?"

However, during the time he was here, he didn't seem to have heard of any restrictions. It seems that as long as you have the ability to hunt for food, it will be yours. There is no such thing as rare or rare.
