Swallowed Star: Food Shocks the Universe

After eating the delicious cangtou, Xue Xi took a short rest and teleported to the seventh floor.

The scenery on the seventh floor is completely different from the previous ones. The previous ones were all wide and large battle spaces, while the seventh floor is a slightly cramped cave with long conical stalactites on the top. Liquid drips down continuously, echoing in the empty cave, making it extremely quiet.

Xue Xi looked around curiously and headed into the cave. It was said that the trial objects in each trial tower were the same, with only differences in realm. So the seventh floor should be the legendary Zerg mother nest.

There is also a realm master-level Zerg nest sealed by Hu Yanbo on Earth. When Xue Xi was searching for special ingredients on Earth, she went to Shennongjia and took a look at it from afar. The nest shrouded in green mist made her early warning perception go crazy and the whole thing ended in nothing.

But most chefs who come to the interstellar age have an obsession with the Zerg, and that is to see if they can eat it. If Xue Xi had not been reluctant to give up the opportunity to reset the anchor point, she might have directly nailed the food anchor point to Shennongjia. Fortunately, considering issues such as customer flow, she did not try it to her death.

Today is different. The competition in the trial tower is about the comprehension of the laws and the use of the secret techniques. Everyone's realm is at the ninth level of the stellar grade. Xue Xi can't wait to meet the little cuties of the Zerg.

As Xue Xi was muttering, a buzzing sound was heard. Xue Xi looked carefully and saw a huge locust-like insect waving its sickle-like claws. The four pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings behind it flapped rapidly, so fast that it was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

As if it had sensed the arrival of the invader, the more than ten-meter-long insect seemed to have eyes on its back and turned around and attacked Xue Xi.

There was no time to think, when the flying insect flapped its wings, Xue Xi had already taken out the black pot and blocked it in front of her. At the same time as the sound of breaking through the air was heard, her right hand holding the handle of the pot felt a powerful impact from the bottom of the pot.

The sound of metal clashing against metal was endless, but unfortunately, the seemingly fierce attack made Xue Xi not even interested in expanding her territory. The handle of the pot in her right hand moved up and down, left and right, BABA in the direction of the flying insects.

After playing with the flying insect for a while and seeing that it had no new tricks, Xue Xi cut the flying insect down from the sky with a clean and sharp knife.

This place seemed to be just the edge of the Zerg mother nest. Even the reinforcements were nowhere to be seen. Xue Xi turned on the mental detection while studying the flying insects on the ground.

Not only does this thing look like a locust, its body structure is also similar, except that it is taller and its front feet have become a pair of sharp blades.

Xue Xi inserted the knife into the ground, half-knelt down on her knees, bent the middle finger of her right hand, and knocked on the flying insect's body a few times with a clang clang clang sound. The feedback felt like she was knocking on a piece of C-grade metal.

Xue Xi was a little puzzled: This thing can't be made of pure metal, right? No way, I remember the cosmic encyclopedia saying that the Zerg were bred by the Zerg Queen and are flesh and blood life forms.

Its entire body is covered tightly by this shell, and this shell also has the ability to prevent mental detection.

Unwilling to give up, Xue Xi picked up a kitchen knife made of the same C-grade metal and attached her own culinary principles to the blade. The essence of the metal did not change, but the gray light that instantly revealed directly penetrated the hard shell of the flying insect. Why think so much? Just use brute force to break it!

With the help of the gray light, the kitchen knife broke open the hard shell of the flying insect like cutting tofu, revealing the white and tender body inside.

Xue Xi sighed in her heart: It is indeed a magical tool for food ingredients. The principles of cooking are really useful. In just a few moves, the flying insect wrapped in a black shell was revealed like a butcher cutting a cow.

At this time, the immortals who were watching the battle outside were discussing: "Is this little girl planning to eat the Zerg again? Those things are just garbage, and they are also thrown into the most desolate areas by the person in charge of the garbage star field. Can you eat them?"

"I also feel that this little girl is going to fall from grace. This thing tastes sour and disgusting. It's better to destroy the mother nest as soon as possible."

"You're so jealous? How come you know so much? Could it be~"

"Get lost, get lost, when I was the Realm Lord, I served in the battlefield outside the region, and when I got angry with a mother nest, I bit it to death. The feeling was so sour that it made a few of my teeth fall out."

Seeing that these people had stopped chatting privately and started shouting in the square, the Nine Swords Master shouted, "Silence! How can you be so noisy?!"

The crowd below suddenly fell silent. The Nine Swords Master withdrew his gaze and also frowned as he looked at the light curtain: Can this thing really be eaten?

The white and tender insect meat was revealed under Xue Xi's perception. There were very few organs inside. There was only a receiver-like round bead in the brain. The rest were nutrient ducts connecting the whole body and flesh composed of high-density muscle fibers.

But it is not enough to meet the cooking standards. Xue Xi knew the history of the battle between humans and Zerg. Over a long period of time, it was not that no one had thought of eating Zerg, but it was not cost-effective.

Because there is a kind of insect acid in the flesh of Zerg, which can cause serious damage to human bones and teeth, and the meat containing insect acid will become sour, bitter and extremely unpalatable.

In order to remove the insecticidal acid, it is necessary to find the entire nutrient tube. The insecticidal acid is spread all over the body like a spider web in the nutrient tube. In order to remove it, a spiritualist must spend time to pull it out completely bit by bit.

It is difficult to do and useless, so the Zerg bodies on the battlefield were thrown into the garbage star field as garbage and no one cared about them.

Xue Xi also detected the densely packed nutrient tubes in the insect meat at this time. For others, processing this level of food would require the use of high-precision instruments or the clumsy method in books, which involves slowly grinding with mental power.

But for Xue Xi, as long as the ingredients are not slightly processed like the taste factor, she can handle it quickly with her current culinary principles and field.

The Kitchen God's Domain was unfolded. Since it was not a battle, there was no need to expand so large. It just wrapped the body of the flying insect that was more than ten meters long. The laws of water and fire drove the Kitchen God's Domain to operate.

A gray needle transformed from the principles of cooking suddenly sank into the white and tender body of the flying insect. Xue Xi closed her eyes and used all her strength to control the gray needle to shuttle between the nutrient tubes, like threading a needle, stringing together the various nodes of the nutrient tubes.

Xue Xi's mind moved, and the upper body of the flying insect split open. The gray needle took out the nutrient tube in its entirety like picking out intestines.

Xue Xi opened her eyes and threw the nutrient tube on the gray needle to the side. The nutrient tube hit the wall of the cave, and suddenly a puff of green smoke rose, exactly the same as the green mist on Shennongjia.

Looking at the insect meat on the ground again, after losing the insect acid transported by the nutrient tubes, it began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. Xue Xi would not let the meat that she had worked so hard to cultivate disappear from her sight.

Page after page of recipes flashed through my mind, and finally, I locked on a recipe suitable for ingredients with firm meat - spicy chicken!

He quickly prepared small pieces of dried chili peppers, slices of ginger and garlic, chopped green onions and other ingredients. The insect meat had shrunk from ten meters after the shell was removed to more than seven meters.

Quickly cut the insect meat into small pieces, pour in cooking wine, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, white pepper, salt, and ginger and mix well, then add egg white and starch and mix well, finally add some sesame oil and marinate for a while.

She was familiar with the process and heated oil in a pan. She first fry the insect meat at 60% hot oil until golden brown. Then she increased the temperature and fry it again until the skin was crispy and golden. Then Xue Xi took it out and set it aside.

Leave a little oil in the pan, add sliced ​​ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onion, peppercorns, and dried chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the fried insect meat, peanuts, and a little sugar and stir-fry evenly. Sprinkle white sesame seeds and chopped green onion, stir-fry evenly, and serve.

The whole process took less than ten minutes, and a flying insect turned into a plate of shiny brown-red chili worms, leaving only an empty shell.

It was shiny brown, soft and crispy, with a strong spicy flavor, salty and mellow fragrance, and a slight sweet aftertaste. Xue Xi simply grabbed pieces of insect meat with gloves on and ate happily: "Hmm, crunchy, and tastes like chicken! No, it tastes better than chicken, woooo~"

The aroma drifted far into the cave. A praying mantis-like insect received the stimulating smell from its olfactory organ, and its lying body suddenly stood up, making a "gugugugu" sound from its mouthparts, as if it was conveying some information.

In the darkness behind it, a dense red light suddenly lit up!
