Chapter 727: Blood and wine

While introducing to his companions, Joan slashed the knife and cut the thread hanging from the nose of the crab, wrapped it into a large thread, and stuffed it into the storage bag.
"As for the remaining corpses of cave crabs, I plan to spend some time dissecting the drawings and making specimens later."
"Mr. Vida, the cave crab is one of the most valuable monsters in the "dark area", and it is full of treasure. It is too wasteful to make it into a specimen."
Evelyn couldn't help but interject.
"In addition to the long rope used as a fishing line and bait, what other good things are there on the hole fishing crab?"
Joan looked at Evelyn curiously, expecting her to give a more detailed answer.
"The shell of the cave crab is both hard and light. The residents of the underground world often use this material to make armor and shields. The defense effect is not worse than that of steel casting equipment, and it is lighter than steel armor."
Evelyn thought about it and then said to Joan:
"The carapace is still secondary, and the most valuable thing in the burrowing crab is its plasma. Mr. Vida, have you smelled the blood of the burrowing crab?"
As early as when he hunted a hole for crabs, Joan noticed the blood leaking from his wound and exuded a strong smell of wine.
At the time, he didn't have much to think about, but now he was reminded by Evelyn, and immediately felt something.
"Are you saying that the blood of burrowing crabs contains alcohol-like ingredients?"
"Yes! The most amazing place for cave crabs is here. Their blood smells like spirits whether they smell or drink."
"I haven’t drunk the blood of crab-fishing, but I heard people say that the taste is spicy. Drinking a sip is like a fire burning in the throat. The alcohol attack is very fast. Ordinary people can’t drink two or three sips. ."
"Those races that love alcohol, such as dwarves and war lizards, are very enthusiastic about the blood of the cave crab."
"War lizards often team up to hunt holes and crabs, the main purpose is to squeeze their blood as a drink."
"The dwarves are also willing to spend a lot of money on fresh burrowing crab blood.
"Compared with drinking the blood lizard directly, the dwarf's drinking method is more specific, such as mixing the plasma of the cave crab into the ale, and then adding honey, fruit, spices and even hallucinogenic mushroom juice to make a variety of cocktails. "
"The meat of crab fishing is also a high-end ingredient."
"Perhaps because of the blood soaked in spirits, the crab meat of the hole, even after being cooked, has a strong wine aroma, delicious and delicious!"
Joan They had already eaten supper, but after hearing Evelyn's vivid description, they couldn't help swallowing.
Everyone unanimously decided that while the crab meat was still fresh, it would be stewed in a pot tonight, which would be considered a supper.
Wild adventure life can really train people.
For example, Joan's cooking skills have greatly improved during this period.
Wielding the knife skillfully cut open the hole for crab fishing, Joan introduced the light blue blood exuding the mellow spirit into the kettle, and filled three large jugs.
Joan and his companions are not too addicted.
However, out of curiosity, everyone is happy to drink a glass of crab blood wine, which is considered a tasting.
Burrowing crabs weighing more than 200 pounds, removing the shell, offal and blood, only less than 40 pounds of net meat left by Joan.
This low meat production rate has to be said that it is no different from the distant relatives of the hole crab in the surface world.
Although the meat rate is not high, the taste is indeed as delicious as Evelyn said.
In the hot crab blood wine, everyone sat down for a crab supper.
After eating and drinking this meal, the alcohol intake was a little over the standard. Everyone, including Joan, was a little bit perplexed.
Audrey was in the first shift tonight tonight. With her consistent strict self-discipline, of course, she must use magic to dispel drunkenness, so as not to doze off during the vigil.
As for others, there is no need to sober up.
Yawning and saying "Good night" to each other, and got into the tent and rested separately.
The expedition squad spent a peaceful night in the underground river beach.
Early the next morning, Joan and his party continued to explore the hinterland of the Nida Mountains along the underground river channel.
When it was almost noon, the grunt searching in front of him reported to Joan through the "Second Mind Connection", it seems that the traces left by the campfire were found near the river beach.
Joan relayed the news to his companions, and then rushed over together.
Sure enough, as Guru said, there were a lot of campfire embers left on the beach.
Joan approached and looked at the stove pit.
There are some lichens and moss that have not been fully burnt in the pit. This is the most common and easy to collect "burning matches" in dark areas.
Joan squatted to the side of the stove pit and found residual water marks on the edge.
He stretched out and touched the soot in the stove.
A warm touch came from your fingertips, exuding a slight smell of lamp oil.
This shows that the campers only left here not long ago.
Judging from the traces left around the campfire, it is likely that an expedition camped here last night.
The campfire burned through the night. Until this morning, the expedition members had breakfast around the campfire. After that, they used the water from the nearby underground river to extinguish the campfire and continue on the road.
Joan told his companions.
Based on his speculation, Hailar immediately proposed a bolder conjecture.
"Will the expedition camped here last night, like us, also be an intern from Meadgard University?"
"If you are really yourself, then this expedition is likely to be Arnold, Lowry, Angle and Ryan!"
Hailar rushed to the conclusion.
"After all, apart from our team, only Arnold dared to leave the safe area and ran to this remote and dangerous area to explore."
"If it were really Arnold's team, the situation would be a little more complicated."
Holden gave his sister a meaningful look.
"We walked along this road and experienced countless hardships. It took ten days to come to the dark mountains."
"I thought that if I discovered a virgin land, I would get a lot of first-hand surveying and mapping data. If the Arnold team arrived before us, at least in terms of map surveying and mapping, we would have lost to them."
"In other countries, we know that we should follow the trail left by Arnold and others and meet with them as soon as possible."
"However, considering the bet that my sister and Arnold made, taking the initiative to reconcile with the Arnold team is basically equivalent to admitting defeat."
After listening to Holden's analysis, Joan couldn't help but look back at Audrey's face.
Her Royal Highness tried to pretend to be indifferent.
But it is not difficult to see that she is not in a good mood.
When everyone was relatively speechless and depressed, Evelyn suddenly laughed.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about being rushed by your competitors. This campfire, in my opinion, does not look like a camping trail left by human explorers."
