I thought that Xiao Wu would disappear like this, but I didn't expect him to appear in front of me after AT806.

After Huo Chi gave Xiao Wu cloud bream meat, he put him in the gourmet bag. However, Xiao Wu left a crystal clear cyan vibrator in his hand, emitting a shimmering light.

This is the trophy obtained by Xiao Wu after fighting the giant squid, and it also proves Xiao Wu's strength in fighting in the sea.

Huo Chi glanced at Xiao Wu in the food bag, but found that there were other things in the bag besides Xiao Wu.

It was a pink strip that curled like red coral in the sea, but the branches were rounder and much lighter. Huo Chi casually took this thing out, and the system had already tagged it with a name: Referring to Coral.

Huo Chi immediately clicked on the flickering monster edible guide:

【Finger Coral】

A rare monster in the sea, it does not actively attack, but there is a layer of paralyzing venom on the surface of the body, and it will feel paralyzing when touched.

Edible part: Whole plant except mucilage

Contraindications: It is slightly cool and has the effect of calming the nerves and stopping bleeding.

Edible method: It should be fully cooked, and the mucus on the surface can be cleaned and removed with vinegar.

Tips: Raw corals can be stored for a long time, and cooked corals should be eaten as soon as possible.

This is a monster that can be eaten, Huo Chi nodded slightly, and immediately noticed a slight numbness coming from between his fingers, his ability to resist poison +1, so the paralysis was not strong. However, just in case, Huo Chi still took a bite of the paralyzing herb.

The paralysis disappeared after the herb was ingested, but the doubts in Huo Chi's heart were far from being eliminated. This coral suddenly appeared in his bag of gourmet goods, what the hell is going on?

"Abu, where did the coral come from?" Huo Chi decided to ask Abu.

"Xiao Wu's. Abu replied: "What he is carrying must have been accidentally touched in the sea." ”

"This stuff has a paralyzing effect. Huo Chi realized that Xiao Wu's long hair on his body also had its effect, at least hanging the finger coral would not be immediately paralyzed. However, the coral comes from the sea, and he still doesn't know what happened after Xiao Wu fought with the giant octopus.

"How's Xiao Wu doing?" Huo Chi asked.

"It's not very good. Abu said: "He has multiple injuries and needs to recuperate. And the transplanted organs in his body are failing further. ”

Huo Chi didn't feel good when he heard this, no matter what, the lifespan of this strengthened subhuman is not long, I just hope that he can breathe free air in the last moment of his life.

The evening breeze blew and the deck was empty, and Huo Chi returned to his room, but the captain's room of the Takamaru was still brightly lit.

"Reports of losses from this battle have come out. The first mate placed a stack of papers in front of the captain.

The captain shook his head slightly after a careful inspection: "56 combatants have been lost, and 8 passengers are missing. The hull was moderately damaged. It's really damnable, the Takamaru has never been so embarrassed. His fist slammed on the table.

He looked up at the first mate and asked, "Those temporary remedies can keep the Takamaru cruising, right?"

"No problem. The first mate said, "You can hold on to White Eagle Harbor." ”

"Hmm. The captain checked the report again.

"Captain. The first mate said, "According to the tip, these giant squid were summoned by the members of the Demon Protection Society. ”

"Is it just to drive away those pirates?" the captain also knew the news.

"Yes. The first mate said: "Captain, do you still need to notify passing ships to check the sea area of the missing person?"

Notify them to check. The captain said, "It's just unlikely, the people who fell into the water were immediately eaten by those giant squid." ”

"Captain, one more thing. The first mate interjected, "It seems that someone has transported the Modified Subhumans on our ship." ”

"Hmph. The captain said, "Those are the ones who did it?"

"It's supposed to be them. The first mate nodded.

The captain said: "Don't pay attention to this matter, they are agents sent by the Empire, what are they going to do, we had better not find out." ”

"Yes!" said the first mate.

Early the next morning, Huo Chi got up early. He slept very soundly this night, maybe it was because Xiao Wu came back, right?

When he saw that everyone was still resting, he cautiously came to the kitchen. The number of finger corals that Xiao Wu brought yesterday is not large, so it is better to make it for breakfast.

Huo Chi first washed the rice and boiled the fish fillet porridge, and then took out some vinegar to carefully clean the mucus on the surface of the coral on the finger.

The mucus, which is insoluble in water, becomes opaque under the soak of vinegar and solidifies slightly. Huo Chi flicked it with his hand, and the solidified mucus fell down. After the slime is cleaned, the finger coral becomes a little thinner.

Huo Chi rinsed the remaining vinegar on the finger coral with water, and carefully broke off a branch, the section of the finger coral can actually pull out slender filaments, and the surface of this monster is pink, but the inside is actually snow-white.

Huo Chi put the finger coral under his nose and sniffed it slightly, there was a faint fragrance, which was a little similar to the aroma of blooming rice flowers, both sweet and long.

How should I eat this? Huo Chi had never touched such an ingredient, and he didn't have a clue for a while. At this time, Su Qingqing appeared at the door of the kitchen.

"Huo Chi, what are you holding?Monster?" Su Qingqing asked curiously.

"Well, I accidentally found it yesterday, and it's not aggressive. Huo Chi said: "I thought about making it breakfast this morning, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet." ”

"Gee, it looks like coral. Su Qingqing said: "Can you eat coral?"

"This kind of thing is okay. Huo Chi wanted to say that real coral can still be used in medicine, but swallowed the words back into his stomach, a lot of knowledge he knows is unknown in this world, so it's better not to say it.

"Boil, or steam, or fry?" Su Qingqing said three kinds from Huo Chi's usual cooking methods, but Huo Chi's eyes lit up when he heard this, by the way, fry it and take a look.

"Then try frying. Huo Chi nodded.

He lit the fire, put the iron pot on the stove, poured in the cooking oil, and put in a few pieces of finger coral, the oil gradually rose, and the finger coral floated and became thicker at the same time. When the color of the coral became a little orange, Huo Chi fished it out.

The fried finger coral looked cylindrical, and he blew on the finger coral and gently bit into it. The deep-fried finger coral tastes crispy, turns orange-red and has a very fluffy skin, and the white core inside melts in your mouth, leaving some glutinous rice-like fragrance in your mouth!
