Chapter 724 Turf War
With the help of Leftover and the excellent sense of smell of the Motorized Lizard, Ajin, who traveled around and carried the super giant crab claws on his back, quickly followed the mountain road to the location where the loud noise had occurred.
What appeared in front of them were two extremely huge Padian elves.
One is a hairy crab that is bigger than Kirbymon, and the other is a land jellyfish that is as big as the giant stinging jellyfish in Kanto.
One of the former's crab claws was missing, and only half of his arm was left to fight with the opponent.
Many of the latter's tentacles have flat cross-sections, and stumps of different lengths are scattered not far away...
Good guys, the ingredients are having a meeting. Zhou You secretly complained in his mind, why did these two treasure master elves who ate too much secret seasoning at a glance start fighting?
"Is this the legendary battle for territory?" Akin quickly intuitively determined the reason for the fight between the two elves. "While they were fighting, they seemed to be avoiding excessive damage."
As he spoke, Ajin pointed to the cave that had suffered some damage near the two elves.
While the giant hairy cliff crabs are fighting with the land jellyfish, they are also trying their best to avoid the moves of both parties from getting close to the cave, which means that there is probably something inside that they value or hope to get.
Coupled with the subtle sweet smell exuding in the air, Ajin suspected that it was the object that the two elves were fighting for.
Is it a tree fruit? Is it vanilla? Or some special elf?
Although he didn't know what was inside that fascinated the two elves so much, Zhou You, who had already used it as a seasoning for home cooking, recognized what was in the cave at a glance - the secret seasoning: sweetener.
This stuff is also the main ingredient in candies, and a lot of them are grown in the azure highlands around the world.
Then he looked at the two elves who were fighting for territory.
They didn't care about the sudden appearance of humans and elves, they only saw each other and the seasoning.
For wild elves, survival, reproduction, and kinship are the top priorities, and secret seasoning is something that can greatly increase their chances of survival.
The elves may not know what it is, but they must be able to realize what gives them such a huge body and outstanding strength.
But don't look at the fact that they are currently ignoring outsiders. Once Zhou You and Ah Jin show any signs of getting close to the secret seasoning, they will inevitably face a concerted attack from both sides!
Of course Zhou You was not interested in some secret sauce... His eyes stared straight at the tentacles of land jellyfish scattered on the ground.
It is also one of the raw materials for the famous Padian dish - wild jellyfish and cucumbers mixed with vinegar.
Land jellyfish are the evolved form of wild jellyfish. Will the taste of their tentacles be worse or more delicious?
Without saying too much, Zhou You pointed at the tentacles scattered on the ground.
Hearing only a slurping sound, the leftover food was almost drooling.
"That can't be eaten raw." Zhou You quickly reminded.
"Hey..."
Ah Jin understood, quietly got off the motorcycle lizard, and tiptoed over.
Humans in the Padia region use the materials accidentally dropped by the elves in various aspects of daily life, and food is only one aspect of it.
Respecting nature, respecting life, and coexisting with spirits is the way of life for humans under the vast natural scenery of the Padia region.
Seeing that Ajin was going to collect tonight's ingredients regardless of his life safety in the battle between the giant elves, the Motorized Lizard couldn't help but show a worried look.
Once this act of approaching a human stirs up the tense nerves of the two treasure masters, they are likely to be injured under the full force of both sides!
"Don't worry." Eden soothed, which was why it stayed here.
Its illusion has a miraculous effect on elves who are not very good at special things, and can prevent them from discovering Ajin's approach.
But if you encounter a situation where a stray bullet flies towards Ah Jin while maintaining the illusion, you have to rely on the latter's own reactions and physical abilities.
Fortunately, Ah Jin had good luck and moved quickly. He collected all the tentacles scattered on the ground in a short time.
Then, he looked thoughtfully at the secret sauce in the cave.
How about picking a little bit and taking it back as spice?
At least it smells quite sweet, and the two elves don't appear to be poisonous, which means it probably doesn't have any fatal ingredients.
Seeing this, Zhou You quickly waved to him: "Take that away, and the elves will chase you into the camp following the scent!"
Ah Jin suddenly realized that even with the help of illusion, the elves would definitely suspect humans when they found that the plants they were fighting for were damaged.
So he decisively left in a hurry with Zhou You after collecting the data...
…
The battle between the two giant treasure master elves did not end until the two left the scene.
The huge body represents the full energy given by the secret seasoning, and they are not so easy to tire.
Although it is not impossible to fight with them when traveling around with Eden and Leftovers, and they will probably win in the end, but there is really no need to do so.
It is different from the Galar and Unova regions.
In Padia, humans would pick up the materials accidentally dropped by the elves, and they might raise them for the materials, but they would never fish for the materials.
It is true that the crab claws of the hairy cliff crab and the tentacles of the land jellyfish can be regenerated, and the two types of spirits that lose all their claws and tentacles can easily die.
Not only do they keep fishing in the lake, but when they encounter elves with disabled bodies, people will even deliberately take care of them.
Green, pollution-free, renewable and sustainable development is the basis of everything.
I don’t know whether Padia will become a black city or a scene like Alola in the future after the population explosion in the future. At least for now, the coexistence between the two is healthy?
That night, the two chose to camp on the rock mountain in South District 3, and set up a huge iron pot that matched the size of the ingredients.
"The crab claws are too big. They can't even fit in one pot."
Looking at the super giant crab claws, even if it was cut open, only one third (i.e., the crab claws) could be put into the pot, and Jin suddenly started to have a headache: "How on earth are you going to eat this thing? "
Zhou You sighed speechlessly: "Are you really ready to eat it all? Let's eat a little and give the rest to the elves."
The leftover food quietly raised its head.
Ah Jin pondered for a long time after hearing this, and his tone was full of entanglement: "The key is how to taste such a big crab claw."
The reason why sukiyaki is delicious is that various ingredients are cooked together to create a unique taste.
Arthur, who was responsible for slicing the tentacles of land jellyfish, nodded, but simply boiling or roasting them was a bit of a waste of ingredients that had been used as medicine.
Eden, who was responsible for using his "supernatural power" to prepare berry jam, complained: "After all, this is not enough for two people and seven or eight elves to eat, right?"
"Then give it to Zekrom. Wait, we can use electricity!" (End of Chapter)
