Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Fan Wei walked towards the parasitic mask that was kicked away by Yani, picked it up and observed it.

The red flesh behind the mask is not very plump. When the tentacles are cut, a shallow transparent juice flows out, emitting a fishy smell that is not too unpleasant.

From the perspective of "Poison Cuisine", the meat of this mask is the same as that of deep-diving fish, emitting a thick green light.

"It's extremely poisonous. The monsters in the maze are really not simple. But as poisonous creatures, why don't they just kill the host with toxins?"

Confusion arose in my mind. Don't most organisms evolve toxins for the purpose of attacking and protecting themselves?

Keeping this question in mind, Fan Wei reached out and used a toxin removal technique. The fleshy green light inside the mask suddenly dimmed a lot.

"Next, try the method of removing the toxicity of this organism."

Holding the mask, Fan Wei took out a knife, sat cross-legged, and conducted an anatomical experiment on the parasitic mask.

"Fan, what are you doing?" Rody noticed Fan Wei's actions and curiously approached to check, "This mask is already dead, why are you cutting it?"

"Haha~" Fan Wei smiled, "Rodi, aren't you curious about what kind of creature this is?"

The knife moved under the meat, slid gently and cut it, and saw the red soft meat separated from the mask. "The mask seems to be just the shell and disguise of this creature."

“It’s actually pretty close to a scallop.”

As he spoke, Fan Wei picked up the severed tentacle stump again and said, "Through the contact of these four tentacles, the mask is fixed on the human head to achieve the purpose of control, but the method is not to invade the brain, so it can be easily taken off."

"Yes, how is this done?" Roddy was also aroused by Fan Wei's exploration.

"Roddy, when you and Uncle Bernoulli were touched by these mask tentacles, did you feel your muscles twitching and numbness?" Fan Wei asked in an inquiring manner, his eyes filled with thought.

"Yes, that's the feeling I was talking about." Roddy nodded in affirmation.

Fan Wei smiled as his guess was confirmed. "Then I roughly know that the control of this mask relies on bioelectricity."

Bioelectricity, lightning fish? Thunder butterfly? Roddy thought of the famous monsters.

"This is a micro-current that exists in every living organism. The parasitic mask has evolved incredible means to do this. If you touch it with iron, its muscles will tremble."

Fan Wei used a knife to tinker with the parasitic mask with great interest, which made Rody tremble and laugh with sweat dripping from his face: "Haha, Fan, you really know a lot."

"Maybe we can write these down, so that if we can't get out, we can leave them to future generations."

"No." Fan Wei shook his head, but his expression was gradually getting excited, "I have figured it out, this is definitely a delicacy!"

"B-delicious?!"

Roddy was shocked to see Fan Wei cut holes in the mask's flesh and squeeze out the transparent liquid. "Most of the toxins in its body are contained in the body fluids."

Looking at the mask flesh that was squeezed dry and only had a faint green color left, Fan Wei turned his head and looked at Rody with bright eyes, "The fuel rods are still there, I think the portable ones can be inserted on the waist."

"Yes, yes..." Roddy took two steps back in inexplicable fear, and saw Fan Wei jump up and run into the darkness.

After a while, he came back with a pocket full of parasitic masks, looking extremely excited, "Haha, we are in for a treat, we will eat grilled 'scallops' later!"

"???"

Roddy watched with a dull look on his face as Fan Wei started a fire, took off his "breastplate" and used it as a diamond-shaped iron pot, then took out oil, salt, onions, ginger, garlic, and radish from the small bag he carried with him.

"I'll carry simple ingredients with me." Explaining with a smile to his dull-eyed companions, Fan Wei took out a small bowl to prepare the sauce.

The fluid of the mask meat itself has been squeezed dry, so it needs to be replenished with juice. Add onion, ginger, chili rings, lard, and salt to clean water, stir thoroughly with a small spoon, and pour less than half of the amount into the mask.

Then heat the pot and place the masks neatly in the pot to heat them evenly. Although this will make the roasting process slower, the meat will definitely be tender and smooth!

"Fan, you, what are you doing!" Rody was so shocked that his wooden stick fell out of his hand.

"Monster meat is extremely poisonous! You can never eat it!!"

Looking at Luo Di who rushed in front of him, grabbed his clothes and shook in panic, Fan Wei laughed and said, "Don't worry, Luo Di, I know it well."

"But the monster's poison is not impossible to conquer! In fact, in addition to being an adventurer, I am also a restaurant owner, and my ambition is to make delicious dishes out of the monsters in the maze!"

"Cooking a monster? Impossible! No one has ever succeeded." Rody shook his head. "Eating the monster's flesh, even if I know how to detoxify it, I can't be sure that I can save it."

He looked anxious and it seemed that he would never let Fan Wei try.

Norma also looked at Fan Wei with concern, but Uncle Bernoulli looked a little surprised, as if he remembered something.

"It's true that no one has conquered the monster's toxins." Bernoulli suddenly said, "Uncle, I heard that someone detoxified the deep-diving fish yesterday!"

"What?!" Roddy and Norma looked at him in shock at the same time.

"Young man~" the uncle smiled proudly, "You just don't have a keen grasp of intelligence. This morning I learned from the record list that the world's first master who can detoxify monsters was born in our maze street!"

"Then, has Fan ever learned from a master?" Rody looked at Fan Wei with a gentle gaze.

"Ahaha, that's me~"

“Poof!!” Norma, who was drinking water, spit it out and turned to look at him in disbelief, “You, you are a master?!”

"Yes." Fan Wei's eyes were deep, "He's a full 1.85 meters tall!"

"That's not what I meant!!"

After a while of laughter, Fan Wei cleared his throat and said seriously: "I am indeed a chef who studies monsters. Yesterday I tried to cook deep-diving fish, which was also my first attempt."

Rody's eyes flashed with confusion, "Fan, if you are so powerful, why do you join our team and adventure into the maze?"

"Just because you can cook doesn't mean you can fight well." Fan Wei smiled, "And if you want to deal with monsters, how can you do it without understanding them in detail?"

"It took me dozens of minutes to deal with the deep-diving fish, but it only took me a few minutes to deal with the parasitic mask."

"It was the contact with it, the judgment and analysis of its habits that helped me."

Fan Wei talked about his own feelings. After close contact and fighting with monsters, he seemed to have a special understanding of monsters. Following his inner feelings, he was able to remove the poison incredibly quickly.

"That's amazing..." Uncle Bernoulli praised with a deep look in his eyes, "Uncle, I wish I could have this kind of enlightenment..."

The voices fell silent for a moment, and Fan Wei suddenly smiled cheerfully, "No more talking, the mask meat is already roasted!"

He uncovered the two large iron knives lying across the pot, and a rich aroma emerged.

The abundant juice makes the meat in the mask plump and its color turns light pink. The sauce gives it a layer of brown. The garlic aroma and light fresh fragrance begin to grab the appetite of hungry people like little hands.

"Smell it, gurgle, it smells so good..." Norma's eyes were a little straight, but he still had some fear of the monster's poisonous flesh.

Fan Wei picked one up and smiled crookedly, "Ha, as usual, the chef eats first!"

In his field of vision, there was no trace of green on the mouth-watering meat. With his previous experience, Fan Wei understood that this was a sign that the poison had been completely removed and that such food was no longer harmful to humans.

He used a knife to pick up the chewy meat that had shrunk after being grilled, brought it to his mouth and took a bite.

Instantly! The gushing hot juice made him exhale.

"Hot, hot, hot!"

The level of sauce is well adjusted. While enhancing the flavor, it also neutralizes the crustacean smell of the meat, allowing the slightly lighter freshness of the seafood to be more clearly released.

“Delicious~”

Seeing that he was fine after eating, Rody and the others could no longer suppress their hunger, and each picked up one and started to taste it.

"Wow! This is so delicious!" Norma said while chewing, eyes wide open and holding her face.

"Hmm~Hmm~" Closing his eyes, Roddy slowly savored the delicious taste and nodded in agreement subconsciously.

Only Uncle Bernoulli was the most practical. He huffed and puffed, enduring the heat and stuffing the food into his mouth. "I can't believe I can eat such delicious food in the maze!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, there are still many~"

Fan Wei smiled and added the grated white radish to the meat, then handed it over, "Try this."

Everyone reached out their hands, but Norma, who was the fastest, grabbed it first. She smiled triumphantly, and bit into the shredded radish with a pious heart.

"Hmm!" The icy, slightly spicy and sweet taste of the hot masked meat becomes so delicious when paired with the cold shredded radish!

The rich aroma is stimulated exponentially, and the sweetness is so fresh that it seems to be dancing on the tip of the tongue.

Although the taste of the radish will dilute the aftertaste when you swallow it, as long as you close your mouth and wait for a while, the delicious taste lingering in your tongue will immediately bloom again!

"Mother Nature, monsters are so delicious!" Rody, who is always gentle and polite, couldn't help but sigh with his head raised.

Looking at everyone enjoying the food with great enthusiasm, Fan Wei smiled with satisfaction. He picked up a mask and walked towards Yani who was squatting with her knees hugged.

The girl remained silent, just in the darkness, tears dripping down her face.

"Eat something, Yani." Fan Wei said gently.

"Why?" Yani raised her head, her voice choking and uncontrollable, "Why is everyone so nice to me?"

She sobbed, "Obviously, obviously...I...I'm just a loser!"
