Morning, July 16, 2009. B World.

"Damn, if only there were sniper rifles. Damn, this kind of ghost thing won't come if it doesn't come, it's a bunch of them, it's really unlucky......"

Su Xue was lying on a hillside at this moment, looking down the slope with a depressed expression. The three dogs also reversed their previous arrogance and lay silently beside their owners.

There's no way around it, who just let there be an eight-legged monster lizard under the hillside, and it's a whole dozen eight-legged monster lizards!

That's right, it's a whole dozen, 9 big ones, 1 small one, and 2 big ones. The largest of them was at least three times bigger than the one Su Xue killed!

This guy's body is 7 meters long, and if you include the tail, it is almost 15 meters long. Even the short horn of the nose is as long as a buffalo horn.

This animal has a great difference in the color of the body surface. The little ones about the size of the Chinese alligator were emerald green with brown stripes, the medium ones were light brown with thin stripes, the big ones were dark brown with the stripes completely gone, and the biggest one had turned dark brown.

Su Ze estimated that their color was probably related to their age, and the older they were, the darker the color.

If there were only three or two of these strange lizards, Su Xue would still have the confidence to use the terrain and use various means to deal with them. But a dozen came out all of a sudden, and there was a boss-level one, which was completely uncertain. After all, this hillside is nowhere near as steep as the hill last time, and those strange lizards can still climb it with a little effort.

The more Su Ze looked at it, the more chilled he became, and he thought in his heart: "...... Such a big guy, I'm afraid it can't even be an ordinary sniper rifle, at least you have to have an anti-materiel gun of more than 12.7mm to get it. Where can you go to get anti-materiel guns?"

Originally, Su Xue entered the Cave Heaven World this time, just to continue looking for more ingredients.

After the launch of the new signature dish, the business of [East Kitchen House] is very good, and the turnover is rushing upward. His manager Xiao Zhang is quite dark-bellied, and with the "unique ingredients" provided by Su Ze, he has set the prices of several new signature dishes very high. For example, the lowest price of "Secret Refining Crucian Carp" is as high as 288 yuan, and the raw materials are only eight taels of fish meat, and a spoonful of "fairy mushroom broth", and the cost of other ingredients, seasonings and labor adds up to less than 20 yuan.

Several other signature dishes are also positioned as high-end dishes, all of which are around 350 yuan, and the highest price is "Xiangu Hexi" with "fairy mushroom" as the main material, and the price is as high as 468 yuan.

Although the price of these dishes is very dark, they don't taste good. For those authentic gourmets, being able to eat this unheard-of delicacy is nothing at all. And most of the people who come to eat, they don't spend their own money.

In fact, the most powerful thing is that the "super stock" made by using the best mushrooms that Su Ze called "fairy mushrooms". Since the use of this "super dashi" as a seasoning, the taste of other traditional dishes has also been improved by several notches.

For restaurants, although high-end dishes are highly profitable, after all, the number of consumption is limited, and they can only be used as signature dishes. The real workhorse is still the mid-range popular dishes with many consumers.

It has been less than a week since the new ingredients were used, and not only did the new signature dishes sell well, but even the business of mid-range dishes has improved several times. [East Kitchen House] is full every day, all kinds of dishes are in short supply, and the queue for ordering food is waiting until a week later. In just 6 days, Su Ze made a net profit of more than 340,000 yuan, and it is estimated that when the first batch of ingredients is used up, the profit can reach about 1.1 million.

Su Ze also knew that this kind of sales peak would not last long. Now it's mostly for early adopters, and at most two months, the boom will gradually subside. However, connoisseurs estimate that even under normal circumstances, business would be at least three times better than before, and this is only if the supply of ingredients is guaranteed, of course.

In order to bring more benefits to himself, Su Ze had to come here to find and collect more ingredients. This time, his main purpose is "fairy mushroom".

Because this kind of thing can not only be used as the main ingredient, but also has become the exclusive seasoning of [East Kitchen Residence], and the daily amount is very large. Even if you only put a little bit on a dish, you can't hold up a large amount. According to Su Ze's estimate, even if the remaining "fairy mushrooms" are all seasoned, they are only enough to support one week.

And those "fairy mushrooms" transplanted to the earth, I don't know if the environment is not good, or the method is wrong, now they are just emerging, as thin as bean sprouts. Even if it can grow smoothly, only God knows.

............................................................................................................

Since he brought three trained dogs, of course Su Ze would make full use of them, and he asked the dogs to look for "fairy mushrooms" according to their smells. However, this kind of thing seems to be very rare, and the last time I could find a few hundred catties, it was the result of an explosion of character. At least this time, Su Ze didn't seem to have that character.

He led the dogs around the woods, searched in a spiral, and searched all over the woods, but he never found them.

It wasn't until an hour ago that Tosa Inu Sanmao suddenly discovered the situation and barked at Su Ze. Su Xue was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed Sanmao here.

But who knows, the situation here makes Su Xue sad and happy.

"Fairy mushrooms" have indeed been found, and there are many of them. Just at the foot of the opposite hillside, there is a large area of dense "fairy mushrooms", covering an area of at least more than ten acres. The number is at least dozens of times more than what Su Ze found last time!

But what made Su Xue sad and indignant was that next to this large piece of "fairy mushrooms" were as many as a dozen strange lizards.

As soon as Su Xue ran to this hillside, he saw these guys lying on the ground lazily drying their bellies, all of them looking very comfortable. If it weren't for Su Ze's quick reaction, I'm afraid he would have been discovered by these strange lizards.

Now Su Ze can be completely sure that this is not the earth. As long as he takes the GPS, cell phone, radio, etc., once he takes it, there is no signal. Moreover, it is definitely not the ancient earth, because these creatures are completely different from the earth.

For example, the strange lizard in front of you is only found in the mythical world. It's not just because of its invulnerability and eight-legged skin, it's because it has the ability to "petrify"!

That's right, it's the "petrified" ability! Su Ze has already confirmed his conjecture. Last time, after Su Xue killed the monster lizard, he made a special observation of those things that were hit by the monster lizard's rays. The plants and the dirt had all turned into a granite-like stone, very hard.

In addition, Su Ze also found that unlike mythology, this "petrification" ability is not permanent. After about a day, all of the petrified things were back to their original state. As for the reason, it is not known if it was because the caster's monster lizard died, or if the petrification itself had a time limit. For the convenience of the name, Su Ze also named this creature [Petrified Lizard].

But no matter what the reason, Su Ze didn't want to take this risk. Not to mention the petrified light against the sky, the terrifying body alone was enough to make Su Xue retreat.
