you are in the depths of time [gl]

The final destination is at the foot of a mountain.

Due to the lush vegetation on Paradise Island, it is really difficult to see the mountain unless you are standing in a place with a wide view.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Cheng Youyou and his party heard a long, shrill cry. When they looked up, they saw a line of huge black birds flying across the sky.

"It's very fierce to hear this cry." Cheng Youyou raised her head and muttered in a low voice.

Although the row of birds that just flew over was black, they still couldn't know what a black phoenix egg was.

At this moment, an old man on crutches was slowly passing by the foot of the mountain, his back was bent, and when he saw them, he smiled at them.

Cheng Youyou tentatively walked in his direction, unfolded the map in his team's hand, and asked him:

"Grandpa, hello, do you know where this 'black phoenix egg' is?"

While talking, Cheng Youyou looked in the direction he came from, as if curious about where he came from.

The old man stopped in his tracks, looked up at her slowly, and said after a long while, "Are you guys participating in this food competition?"

Cheng Youyou nodded.

So he looked towards the cliff slowly, under the layered rather thick eyelids, the expression of the pupils was a little faint, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

It took a long time before he replied unhurriedly: "I know...because that is the breed I brought."

"On the mountainside, in the nest of the black phoenix, this bird is very fierce, with three toes on its claws, but its tail feathers are whitish, and the color of its eggs is also pure white."

He briefly gave information about the bird and the egg, which made Cheng Youyou, who thought he was going to pass the level again, heaved a sigh of relief.

She thanked him politely, and took out a delicious fruit from her bag and gave it to the old man. She chose the kind of fruit that melts in the mouth and hardly requires much effort to bite with her teeth.

The old man took it with a smile, thanked her, thought for a while and said:

"For the sake of this, I will give you two suggestions. First, you can observe the black crows flying in the sky. Second, the eggs of black phoenix birds are very hard, and there is only one cooking method to cook them .”

After that, he turned around and walked back and forth. It was obvious that his appearance was to answer the doubts of these chefs.

Cheng Youyou came back in two steps in three steps, and after conveying the information given by the old man to his companions, he looked up at the sky again, saw the pitch-black flying bird, and held his chin curiously:

"Observe them? How to observe them?"

Before she could come up with an answer, a louder cry than the previous call suddenly came from the mountain, almost resounding through the valley, startling many birds from the forest.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black bird flew out of it. When it spread its wings, its long white tail with long tail feathers looked very special.

However, when it stopped in the nearby grass, the body that was half the height of a person, the sharp claws, and the pair of indifferent eyes all showed one point:

It is a bird of prey.

Very, very fierce kind.

When Cheng Youyou thought that he was going to steal someone's eggs, he felt a sense of guilt, and even swallowed unconsciously.

It is not difficult for her to face the prepared ingredients in the kitchen, but this is the first time in her life that she has embarked on a journey of finding ingredients by herself.

It would be a lie to say that there is no panic at all.

In particular, this is not asking her to dig out an egg in an ordinary bird's nest, nor is it to touch an egg in a hen's nest, but to--

The cliff halfway up the mountain!Steal eggs from the raptor's nest!

Just thinking about it gives me chills.

Cheng Youyou looked at the almost steep cliff, sighed long, and asked Ying next to him:

"Is the association sure that this link wants us to pass the level? There is no way to go up this cliff."

Did they think it was a rock climber who came to compete?Or do you really think this is the Magic Channel?

Ying touched her head, a smile flashed across her blue eyes, and she remembered what someone said to her before the game, "Remember, the association can't send out tasks that you can't do."

So he said slowly: "Don't worry, since the old man asked us to observe the crow, let's take a look."

Anyway, the cliff is impossible to go up, and they might lose their lives, so they simply found a clean place to sit on the ground, just like elementary school students going to the park for an outing, sitting in a row in a group, and looking up at the sky in unison.

[This bird is very fierce at first glance, is this level going to gg? 】

【Don't say it's a black phoenix, I can't even beat a crow】

Luo Zijin doesn't talk too much, and often introduces the content of the game in a few words. Along the way, he often focuses on tasting new types of food, and almost forgets that there are still cameras and audiences by his side, so the fans are all excited. Think of this as a backcountry adventure show and start entertaining yourself.

At this moment, she looked at the few people who were watching the crow, and finally realized that she couldn't help anything here, so she interacted with the audience.

As a result, when the group of people saw that she could answer questions, they immediately got excited and asked all kinds of questions——

[Why did you quit the circle before? 】

[May I ask what is your relationship with my orange now? 】

[Tell me when will you get married? 】

Luo Zijin was hit by a screen full of questions about changing the style of painting, but his face was unmoved, and his expression was still calm, and he only asked lightly:

"What? Suddenly a group of entertainment journalists squatted in the live broadcast room?"

【Yeah yeah】

At this time, Yu Chusheng suddenly stood up from the spot, looked at the group of crows that disappeared at the end of the woods, and quickly said: "I'll go over and have a look, you look at the two of them."

Ying waved to him calmly.

Cheng Youyou and Luo Zijin: "..."

What's the matter with this sudden feeling of being dragged down?

The two wives looked at each other for a few seconds, seeing guilt in each other's eyes.

Then they looked at Ying at the same time.

Ying didn't take it seriously, and even yawned because watching the crow was so boring, and said casually: "You were the ones who helped us pass the level before, and now it's really his turn to steal eggs."

Thinking of the size of the black phoenix bird, Cheng Youyou felt that the difficulty of this task was simply hell-level. How could it be the style of painting that she and Luo Zijin used to travel around the mountains and play in the water and pass the level?

At that moment, Ying patted her on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, do you think he has a face that would court death?"

Cheng Youyou's worries were immediately choked back, and she looked at her for a long time and whispered, "Ying, do you feel that you have become very vicious since you were with Master?"

Language is not used to hurt people, okay?

Ying let out an 'oh' quite calmly, rubbed her hair, and replied, "Master."

Cheng Youyou: "No."

Luo Zijin at the side watched the two of them arguing, and turned his gaze to the surroundings from time to time, as if observing what was delicious in this area. After watching for a few seconds, Cheng Youyou took all the food left in his bag out and put it in front of her.

Luo Zijin: "...???"

Cheng Youyou pushed Ying's paw away from her head, looked at Luo Zijin, and replied, "Aren't you hungry?"

Luo Zijin replied blankly, "No."

Just curious what else to eat.

At the same time, her eyes fell on the hand that Ying placed on Cheng Youyou's head.

Ying was stared at by her burning eyes and slowly withdrew her hand, Cheng Youyou jumped behind Luo Zijin in a second, habitually staying away from the person who wanted to ravage her on a whim.

Luo Zijin grabbed her waist reflexively.

Then Cheng Youyou raised her head and found that the camera was right in front of her, and greeted the audience reflexively.

【cute! 】

【Oh my god, I want to be hugged by Luoshen like this too! 】

[Wait, did I join the Food Channel or the Lily Channel? 】

When several people were arguing, Yu Chusheng strode back with his bag on his back, and said very quickly:

"gone."

Cheng Youyou stood up from behind Luo Zijin, raised her head and asked him, "Huh? So fast? Did you get it?"

Yu Chusheng responded shortly: "Well, it hid its eggs in the crow's nest."

Cheng Youyou and Ying followed him back thoughtfully, as if they wanted to know what he saw, but just a few steps away, a crow flapped its wings and flew up from behind, circling over his head and flew away. After a long time, it finally stopped on his shoulder.

He even changed his voice, tilting his head to look at Yu Chusheng with a 'chirp chirp chirp'.

Compared with those big crows that flew in groups in the sky before, this one is so small and cute, even the small black bean-like eyes are a little cute.

It's just that the rest of the people didn't understand, Yu Chusheng just went out to steal an egg, how could he kidnap one and give one away, and trick a bird to follow him?

Yu Chusheng seemed to have finally accepted the fact that the bird was sticky to people, and while walking, he talked about the process of getting the bird's eggs before:

"The black phoenix's nest is built too high, the wind on the cliff is very strong, and the eggs are often stolen, so the eggs were simply laid in the black crow's nest."

"The old man lives near the nest where the black crows flock, and that's what he said."

After Yu Chusheng finished speaking, he continued:

"The materials used by these crows to build their nests are rather strange, and they will have a wonderful effect with the eggs of the black phoenix, which will make its eggshell harder and harder. Before the chicks inside are about to hatch, the black phoenix will go to the nest Bring it back in order not to be killed by the black crow."

"And the black crow knows its habits, and often let these little crows check the nest when they go out."

Cheng Youyou looked at his shoulder again: "So it was inspecting the nest? Then you found the black phoenix's egg along it?"

Yu Chusheng nodded.

"The eggs of the black phoenix are bigger than the eggs in the general nest, so in order to protect the children of the race from being pecked by the more ferocious black phoenix after birth, these black crows will push those larger eggs out of the nest go out."

Cheng Youyou looked at the little bird on its shoulder that was constantly combing its feathers, and couldn't imagine that it could be responsible for sorting eggs, which was a bit interesting.

"As for this guy? It has been following me since I took that egg... The old man said that it wants to taste the taste of this egg..."

Speaking of the latter, his voice was much lower, obviously he couldn't think of such a weird thing.

Cheng Youyou heard the little one singing with its wings spread on Yu Chusheng's shoulder, and felt that it might be cheering for joy. These people can eat the offspring of the enemy's big black bird.

……

When their group returned to the building in the center, they found that there were only two or three groups of people who came back, and they could even faintly hear their shocking discussions.

"I dare to swear, I have never seen such a big snake in my life!"

"My God, it's as thick as the mouth of this big bowl!"

All kinds of exclamations made Cheng Youyou's neck go cold, thinking that stealing bird eggs is not the most terrible thing, but there are snake eggs?

But their group soon had no time to surprise others, because the thing Yu Chusheng took out of his bag——

"Is this a stone?" Ying asked blankly.

Rather than saying that it is a bird's egg as hard as a stone, it is more appropriate to say that it is a bird's egg-shaped stone. The material on the outside is very hard. Cheng Youyou even tried to hold it on the edge of the porcelain bowl and tap it lightly. Knocked.

Then there was only a sound of broken porcelain.

The edge of the bowl was knocked off a corner.

Cheng Youyou, Ying, Yu Chusheng: "..."

I knew it was hard, but I didn't expect it to be so hard!

Several people looked at each other for a while, feeling that it was basically impossible to break it, so they could only think of other ways, such as boiling it.

[This is clearly a stone? ? ? 】

[Bet a dime, this thing can't be eaten! 】

[I'm fucking laughing to death, what the hell is this? 】

When several chefs were overwhelmed by the new breed of eggs, the barrage in the live broadcast room was full of laughter.

Ordinary eggs only need to be boiled and put in, and they will definitely be cooked within 10 minutes at most. This egg is so strange that Cheng Youyou doubts that it won't be cooked after an hour.

Just after they boiled the water in the pot, more and more groups came back from the central building, but compared with the first hundred groups, it seemed much less, and it even seemed sparse at first glance.

In the remaining dozens of groups, I don't know how many more will be wiped out in this round.

Just when Cheng Youyou and the others were about to throw the black phoenix egg in, the cute little crow that had been squatting on Yu Chusheng's shoulder spread its wings and flew out.

The plants and animals here are so unusual, they always feel that this is not the kind of crow they usually see, so Cheng Youyou glanced in the direction it flew away curiously.

After a while, the bird flew back with a handful of grass in its mouth.

Then he stopped on the cooking table, bouncing around to grab Yu Chusheng's sleeve, as if he wanted him to do something.

Yu Chusheng thought for a while, pointed to the grass it picked up, and asked, "Do you want me to add it to the water?"

The little crow spread its wings and said to him: "Gah~"

The communication between one person and one bird can be regarded as a spectacle.

The judges took their seats again halfway through the contestants' return. When the chefs below were tossing about the varieties they had never seen before, the judges above were also chatting.

"Xie's apprentices are actually in the first group...the black phoenix is ​​drawn, so they are lucky."

"Yeah, especially the greedy little guy is here. I heard that there is nothing on the island that he hasn't eaten. Tom, is that his name?"

Everyone was chatting, and some of them had already congratulated Xie Tiao in advance.

Xie Tiao just smiled, watched Cheng Youyou's group slowly cook the eggs, and patiently tapped on the armrest of the chair and waited.

……

Different from the previous appearances, the judges this time wore the uniform uniform of the Gourmet Association, which was an improvement of the chef's clothing, and it was even more beautiful than the chef's uniform.

All in all, when Ying was looking at the pot, she noticed the eyes of the judges, she subconsciously raised her head, and she saw the dazzling figure sitting in the center.

There were two rows of golden buttons on the pure white uniform, all the way to the neckline in a regular manner. The exquisitely crafted golden buttons made the clothes almost white to the point of floodlight, and the pure white uniform reflected the strands of hair that fell on it. The black curly hair in front of him became more and more shiny. As for the almost enchanting face, the temperament exuded when wearing such clothes was actually more different than the usual clothes that were slightly more indulgent and revealing.

Exudes a fatal attraction.

Ying unconsciously licked her lower lip. Seeing Xie Tiao squinting her eyes like warning eyes, she could only pretend to surrender and lowered her head to continue looking at the pot in front of her. appearance.

After half an hour.

They turned off the fire while the black crow was jumping anxiously, and put the bird's egg on a plate.

There was a soft 'click'.

The egg cracked open automatically, and a burst of fragrance wafted out of it, making people unable to help but sniff. The fragrance hooked the gluttons in people's stomachs, and several people couldn't help but gather around the plate and stare at it .

The black crow that came to eat was even more happily jumping beside it.

Immediately afterwards, an incredible scene was staged again——

I saw that the originally hard eggshell, like being boiled into soft bread, slowly collapsed and fell into the puddle of liquid in the middle, and a burst of hot air came out of it, making people feel uncomfortable. Can't see the central scene clearly.

After half of the eggshell fell and the water mist dissipated, both the shape of the egg and the color of the soup mixed with egg white and egg yolk, which seemed to be falling from the Milky Way, were perfect, and there was no need to even arrange them on a plate.

It seems to be a dish of thick soup wrapped in bread that I saw in a restaurant. You can enjoy the soup from the skin to the inside, but before cooking, who would have thought that it was actually an egg?

Cheng Youyou smelled the fragrance, then looked up at Yu Chusheng.

Ying and Luo Zijin also looked up at him.

Even the little crow, who was jumping and jumping happily, followed a wave of formation.

Yu Chusheng read two words from the eyes of the three people and one bird: I want to eat.

So he calmly took out another egg from the bag.

Cheng Youyou immediately cheered, turned around to wash the spoons, distributed them to everyone, and even dug a large spoonful and put it in front of the little crow, and several people gathered around the cooking table to feast on it.

Judges seat: "..."

Several judges touched their heads, and smelled the fragrant smell of black phoenix eggs, which was almost ten meters away, and felt very melancholy.

The contestants intend to give the judges a taste first, what else can they say?

I can only wait for the next pot.

[Fuck, I really want to eat it! 】

【Help, I've never seen this kind of egg! 】

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) 】

The camera of the live broadcast gave a close-up of the boiled black phoenix eggs, causing the audience in the live broadcast room to scream with hunger, but it was useless, because people who were happy to eat had no time to pay attention to them.

After eating the hard-boiled eggs and the soup in their shells, Cheng Youyou still licked the spoon unsatisfied:

"There is an urge to live here."

Ying mentioned next to him: "I heard that the judges of the Gourmet Association can apply to come here three times a year."

While talking, Ying also savored the taste on the tip of his tongue, and felt that this wonderful and delicious egg was probably the best egg he had ever eaten in his life.

Cheng Youyou let out a sigh of envy.

Next, a few people followed the previous method and coaxed the little crow ancestor to go out and pick up a handful of grass and come back to cook the second egg.

……

after an hour--

The results of the second round came out.

There are ten groups, a total of thirty people qualified.

From the first 300 people to this stage, only 30 people remained. This terrifying elimination rate makes people feel terrible.

Cheng Youyou's group was one of the ten groups that advanced.

While they were waiting for the next third round, the staff moved a box and asked them to send a representative from each group to draw lots.

The first group is Yu Chusheng's group.

Cheng Youyou went up blankly and took out a note, and found a Chinese character written on it:

【Thanks】

She walked back with this note, looked at her teammates in a daze, shook the note at them, and said, "No...is that what I think?"

There was a bit of a smile in Yingbi's blue eyes, and she replied meaningfully:

"Hope it's what you think it is."

Yu Chusheng didn't speak, just looked at Xie Tiao in the stands.

After all the ten groups were drawn, the judges on the stage stood up, and a projection suddenly appeared on the white wall behind them, with a simple corresponding picture written on it:

轮空组：13、24、37、63、90.

Challenge group:

Group 1 - Xie Tiao

Group 5 - Alex Solan

……

Cheng Youyou was no longer reading the following content, she just stared at the word 'Xie Tiao' at the back of the first group with her eyes wide open in astonishment.

Ying next to him gave a soft 'tsk' and said jokingly:

"It seems that Xiao Chengzi is lucky this time."

No bye?Instead, let them meet the opponent they most want to challenge?

At the same time, the five judges slowly came down from the judges' seats on the stage, and Xie Tiao walked straight up, licking his lips at them in a leisurely way, and the tear mole at the end of her eyes brought out the dark spots on her face. smile:

"Next—please give me your advice."

Is Xie Tiao, who has never been defeated in the past ten years, winning again?

Or will their group gather the wisdom of the three to create a miracle and move forward?

Cheng Youyou looked at Xie Tiao's smile, and the sound of her heartbeat suddenly rang in her ears.

The author has something to say: =w=Love me, please don't forget to continue to collect new pits!Teacher Xie is watching you!
