Mo Tiankong had never been to the sea before. Even on Earth, he had never been to the beach, mainly because his wallet did not allow him to do so.
Strictly speaking, this could be considered Mo Tiankong's first time even though it was his first time going to the sea.
Since there were islands, it meant that the beach was a shallow area. Even the Chaotic Ocean that was blue and black all year round had a faint green feeling to it.
Because the shallow area was not deep enough, there were no large sea beasts. Just like how humans needed to breathe, sea beasts also liked to stay in the water.
In the shallow area, there were only a few small sea beasts. However, Mo Tiankong did not mind. Their cultivation level did not matter to him. After all, speed was meat.
Auspicious did not like water. Seeing that Mo Tiankong had gone down first, she lazily laid down on the beach. It would be best if she could eat without going into the sea.
There were also coral reefs in the sea. However, there were not many of them and they were scattered all over the place. She reckoned that they were the bottom layer of the ocean and did not have any offensive capabilities. Thus, they became food for some low level sea beasts.
Compared to the surface of the ocean, because the sea had not been exploited by humans, it was very rich in species. There were millstone-sized abalones, strange fish that could be seen everywhere, and all kinds of prawns.
After seeing Mo Tiankong, these fish also charged forward. There might be some species in the ocean that would not attack humans, such as dolphins. However, in the Chaotic Ocean, it was hard to say.
Clearly, when an unknown species entered their territory, these creatures did not hesitate to attack. As for sea beasts that did not have intelligence, their thoughts were very simple. They would just kill them.
They would not consider the difference in strength between them. Furthermore, Mo Tiankong did not use his full strength. Just the strength of his body was enough to make these sea beasts, who were at most Martial Masters, unable to break through his defense.
Mo Tiankong did not care about this. He casually caught a few arm-sized prawns and a few fishes before bringing them to shore.
"Hua" Mo Tiankong charged out of the water. Auspicious immediately sat up. After all, she felt a little guilty for slacking off. She ran over to Mo Tiankong.
"You lazy bastard!"
Mo Tiankong scolded with a smile. Then, he wrapped the three prawns and the two fishes with his Yuan Qi and brought them towards the glass house.
Coincidentally, Pang Tong and the other two had also returned. They had hunted an elk, two leopards, and a gray rabbit. Each of them carried one over.
Although Mo Tiankong didn't tell them to hunt a few, it was obvious that they didn't hunt too many. After all, they wouldn't be staying on the island for too long. They couldn't possibly hunt all the edible demonic beasts on the island.
The three of them each had one. It was a gray rabbit, but it was bigger than the two raccoons. The explanation for this situation was that the gray rabbit's cultivation was higher than the raccoons'.
"Store Manager Mo, there's still seafood!"
Pang Tong said as he ran over while carrying the two-meter-long elk.
"What else can we eat if we don't eat fresh seafood?"
Mo Tiankong said with a smile.
It was a rare opportunity to go out to sea, so how could they not try fresh sea beasts?
Even in Miracle City, there weren't many fresh sea beasts. The garrison was a large consumption, so most of the sea beasts were killed on land and became the next meal.
A small portion would be sold. Interspatial rings couldn't store living things, so the ones that could be sold wouldn't be considered fresh even if they had just died. The remaining few would be bought by the seafood vendors that came every day.
They were all sold at a high price, especially the high level fresh sea beasts. They weren't something that normal martial artists could eat. Of course, considering the coastline of Miracle City, there were still many sea beasts.
But those that could eat fresh sea beasts were still few, especially for low level martial artists. Even if they could eat them, they wouldn't eat them too many times.
Many people chose to make dried meat for convenience when going out to eat. This kind of meat was eaten a lot, and the main thing was that there was a lot of dried meat.
As for the taste, there was no need to mention it. It definitely wasn't delicious, so how could it compare to fresh seafood?
Although a few lobsters were tied up, they were still alive, shaking their tentacles from time to time. There were also two meter long fish.
The group walked into the glass room while laughing, then closed the door and came to the small pond.
"Store Manager Mo, should we clean it up now?"
Pang Tong asked.
"En, let's clean it up now. It's almost lunchtime."
When they set off in the morning, it was around 9: 30. After sailing for around half an hour, they arrived at Sky Island. After dividing the work, it was around 11: 00.
"Alright."
Pang Tong threw the elk off his back and began to clean it by the pond.
"Clean it up, we'll have a sumptuous lunch. That's right, keep the innards of the demon beasts in this small wooden bucket, we'll need it tomorrow."
Mo Tiankong said to Li Xin and Ye Mo.
The wooden bucket was made by Mo Tiankong on Monday and Tuesday. As for whether it was useful, Mo Tiankong had other uses for it.
"Okay."
.....
The water in the small pond flowed down from the mountain, so it was considered fresh water. However, when Pang Tong and the rest started to clean the demon beasts, the water became muddy. After thinking about it, Mo Tiankong dug a small pond by the side.
This was the island's drinking water, if it was contaminated, it wouldn't be cured in a short period of time.
Digging a small pond was a very simple matter. For a martial artist like Mo Tiankong, it was too easy. He used his Yuan Qi and plowed out a small pond of about five meters.
Then, he let Pang Tong and the rest clean it up. There was fresh water on the side of the big pond, but the hole on the other side was too low, so most of the water had already flowed down.
The water level of the big pond had also decreased a lot. After that, Mo Tiankong filled up the part that connected to the pond, maintaining a boundary. Beyond this boundary, the water in the big pond would flow over. That part was mainly used to clean things.
The fresh water on this side was still used as the island's water source, which was drinking water. After diverting most of the water, the pond wouldn't recover in a short period of time.
It was mainly related to the weather. The mountain spring water had to be accumulated on the mountain or flowed down when it rained. Usually, the water would flow slowly along the stone walls.
Mo Tiankong naturally went to the small pond to clean the fish and prawns. The three prawns became lively after releasing the control of Yuan Qi. Their vitality was more vigorous.
Of course, in view of this situation, Mo Tiankong chose to clean the two fish first. After opening their stomachs, he took out their innards and placed them in a wooden bucket. Then, he scraped off the scales and was done. He put them aside first.
As for the prawns, Mo Tiankong directly cut open their backs. The transparent and shiny tail meat could be roasted directly later. Then, he sprinkled some seasoning on it. Wouldn't it be delicious?
Mo Tiankong didn't know how other warriors ate their fish and prawns, but it didn't matter. He just ate it according to his own way.
After cleaning, Mo Tiankong went to the barbecue rack first. It was still a simple barbecue rack. He lit up the fire and put the fish and prawns on it. Then, he took an elk leg and two washed raccoons and put them on the roof.
With so much meat, the previous barbecue rack naturally couldn't fit all of it. Mo Tiankong directly used the materials on the ground to design a new rack. Previously, it was for one person, but now it was for six people.
Therefore, it wasn't a lot. Although Mo Tiankong didn't know the fighting strength of Pang Tong and the other two, he was very clear about Auspicious's fighting strength. Auspicious could finish it even if it was ten times the amount.
Therefore, it didn't matter if he made more. It wasn't a bad thing to have more types of meat.
After cleaning up the rabbit meat, he handed it over to Luo Ruo to fry. As for the stir-frying, he left it to them. Most of the ingredients he brought this time were vegetables. The two girls Luo Ruo bought preferred vegetables, so he let them do as they pleased.
"Store Manager Mo, the bed sheets and blankets are ready."
Luo Ruo and Pang Tong walked out of the tree house and saw Mo Tiankong turning the barbecue meat.
"Thank you for your hard work. But I still need to work hard. Make a few dishes and use some of the ingredients we bought."
Mo Tiankong gave the interspatial ring to Ning Hanyue. He needed to look after the leftover meat and stir-fry, so he would have to rely on Luo Ruo and Pang Tong.
"Okay. Hey, Pang Tong, help us bring the ingredients in."
Luo Ruo responded and grabbed Pang Tong and the other two to do the hard work.
There was a stove in the tree house, so they needed to start a fire. There was also someone to help wash the vegetables and cut the vegetables. Ning Hanyue could help, but she didn't have anything to do, so they entered the tree house together.
Mo Tiankong took out some spices. The spices for the barbecue were specially taken from the Universal Condiment Box in advance and stored in a small bottle. The oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar were suitable for cooking, but it was better to use the authentic spices for the barbecue.
The Universal Condiment Box had everything. Although they didn't bring the box, they still took out some spices.
Not only would they use it now, they could also bring it with them when they go out in the future. At that time, they would be able to eat delicious food anywhere. Previously, when they were on a Traveling Mission, they didn't think about it. The spices they used were all bought in the city. They weren't specialized spices, so the taste was ordinary.
In addition, they were going out on Monday and Tuesday, so Mo Tiankong had the idea to bring some spices with him.
After sprinkling a layer of barbecue spices, the fish and shrimp were almost cooked. The raccoon meat still had to wait. It wasn't urgent, so they could roast it while eating. The aroma of the barbecue also came from the tree house.
Mo Tiankong took advantage of this time to move a few chairs down from the balcony on the second floor. They just needed to sit around the barbecue grill to eat.
Because it was a small table, two chairs were needed. One table with three chairs, so two chairs were needed.
"The dishes are here."
Pang Tong came out with a plate of dishes. Luo Ruo really knew how to use Auspicious. She also bought a big plate. Since there were many people, it was better to have enough food.
There was a table in the tree house, but the barbecue was outside. In addition, Pang Tong just saw him move the table and chairs down, so naturally, they would eat outside.
When the two square tables were put together, the surface area was very impressive.
"Oh right, help me bring some plates over."
The barbecue definitely couldn't be placed on the table directly. They still had to pay attention to the hygiene. He casually said to Pang Tong who was going back to the tree house.
