One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

As soon as he emerged from the bushes, Link's sharp eyes locked onto the Sweet Rain Snail on the ground.

When the poor Ganlin snail saw someone coming again, it shook its shell and tried to spray healing mist again, but found that it didn't have a single drop left and became a little panicked.

Link didn't bother to be polite with it and grabbed it in his hand.

"We are lucky. Although the Blue Bear Beast has recovered some of its strength, it is still a good thing to be able to catch the Sweet Rain Snail."

Link's lips curled up into a satisfied smile, and the Ganlin Snail in his hand struggled, trying to escape his control.

I raised my hand and gently pinched its soft flesh, feeling its firm and tender texture, which made me even happier.

This kind of giant snail is not common in normal times. When he encountered it this time, he certainly would not let it go. What's more, this little guy added difficulty to his task, so he had no psychological burden to eat it.

That’s right, Link’s purpose in catching this little guy wasn’t just to eat him.

This kind of snail usually grows up eating medicinal herbs. Its meat is very clean and snow-white, and its shell has a healthy luster. It is an excellent green and healthy food and a natural medicinal ingredient.

Without rushing to cook the Sweet Rain Snail, Link stuffed it into his material bag, preparing to eat it at noon today.

Of course, one sweet rain snail could not fill the stomach of Link, a big eater. Since he was preparing to return to the camp, he naturally had to collect some other ingredients.

This bamboo forest is rich in resources, including a lot of bamboo shoots, but since we had already eaten bamboo shoots yesterday, Link wanted to change the taste.

I ate mushrooms today.

There are many abandoned wooden buildings around the abandoned shrine, and the rotten trees provide a favorable environment for the growth of mushrooms.

Specialty mushrooms, carefully selected mushrooms, rare mushrooms, blue mushrooms, poisonous mushrooms, paralysis mushrooms, nitrified mushrooms, heartbeat mushrooms, and Datura.

It can be said that there is nothing it dare not grow, except what you dare not eat.

However, the first three kinds of delicious mushrooms only grow on high mountains, and the mushrooms at the foot of the mountain have been eaten by some small animals.

Fortunately, the wild boars that love to eat mushrooms were almost killed to extinction by Link, and with the abundant rain in recent times, some mushrooms have begun to emerge again.

Link walked in the woods at the foot of the mountain. The air was filled with the smell of wet earth, and his boots made rustling sounds as they stepped on the fallen leaves.

Milu and Matsutake followed behind him, scanning the surroundings, observing carefully, looking for edible ingredients.

As they walked, Link explained to them the characteristics of various plants. What they needed to find were ingredients that could both fill their stomachs and add unique flavor to their cuisine.

Suddenly, Matsutake let out a loud bark, and a pink and white figure was frightened and jumped out from the pile of fallen leaves. It had pink and white hair, red eyes, and a pair of ears hanging on both sides of its cheeks. It looked extremely cute.

However, it ran away quickly, but Matsutake was even faster, and he pinned it to the ground with one paw.

"It's Yeast Bunny Meow."

Mi Lu jumped up in surprise, looked at the pink and white little rabbit that was struggling on the ground under Matsutake's thumb, and hurriedly took a cage from the backpack on Matsutake's back to put it in.

This yeast rabbit, just as its name suggests, can ferment food. The hair on its body surface is full of mold that can quickly ferment food, so it appears in an attractive red color.

"Matsutake, you're awesome!"

Mi Lu praised and took out a piece of food from her backpack as a reward to Matsutake.

Unfortunately, this dog has been following Link for so many years that its mouth has become as picky as its owner's. When it saw this unpalatable dry food, it turned its head away with a look of disgust.

Link watched the interaction between Milu and Matsutake and sighed inwardly.

'This yeast rabbit is just like the Onion Duck in the Pokémon I played in my previous life. It comes with its own side dish. Others bring onions while you bring yeast. It's a perfect match. Unfortunately, there is no Onion Duck in this world, so I can only suffer with Maru Bird.'

In the following time, they continued to look for food in the bamboo forest. Link found some blue mushrooms. This kind of mushroom can be mixed with herbs to make recovery medicine, which is a common item for hunters to suppress injuries and restore physical strength.

Adding honey to the recovery potion can further enhance its efficacy, making it recovery potion G. Link has a lot of it at home.

If you add the yeast from the yeast rabbit you caught before into the recovery potion G, the efficacy of the medicine can be enhanced to be comparable to that of a secret medicine.

It is a top-grade potion that can heal hunters' injuries in a short period of time. It is very precious.

Even Link, the rat, only had less than a hundred bottles saved.

In addition to blue mushrooms, Milu, the good helper, also found a bunch of specialty shiitake mushrooms. This mushroom, which is only the size of a little finger, is particularly popular because of its unique aroma and delicious taste, but because it is relatively common, the price is low.

Although it is called the specialty shiitake mushroom, it is not a specialty of the area around Feijinja Shrine. There are also mushrooms called specialty shiitake mushrooms in other places.

This kind of mushroom can be found everywhere, but the flavor and taste of the specialty mushrooms in each place are different.

Link guessed that the internal composition of the specialty mushrooms might have changed due to the growing environment.

Just like oranges grown in the south will grow differently in the north, the taste and color of oranges grown in the south will change after being transplanted to the north.

However, this world is not so particular. They are all called specialty mushrooms. In addition, specialty mushrooms are divided into strictly selected mushrooms and rare mushrooms according to their quality and taste.

The same goes for the specialty bamboo shoots we ate before, both sides have a division into high-end and low-end products.

Link's luck was not good. What he found in the past two days were just ordinary varieties.

The main reason was that the delicious food had already been eaten by him, and there were almost no precious ingredients at the foot of the mountain, and the ones that were there had already been eaten by him.

Compared to the wild boar, Link is the culprit for the near extinction of the rare ingredients outside the abandoned shrine.

The wild boar was just a poor little creature that was killed while competing with him for food.

A sweet rain snail, a bunch of specialty mushrooms, a yeast rabbit, and several blue mushrooms as big as human heads. This is what Link and his companions got today.

After a simple packing up, they returned to the camp.

When passing by the plain below the camp, Link ran up behind a maru bird and kicked it in the butt, scaring it so much that it laid a golden egg. Then Link mercilessly finished it off and brutally killed it.

After returning to the camp, Phyllis had not arrived yet. No one knew whether it was because the formalities were not completed or she overslept, but this did not stop them from cooking first.

Link first plucked the feathers from the ball bird's legs and washed them, then he picked a handful of yeast from the yeast rabbit and spread it evenly on the leg, then hung it in a cave on the side of the camp, which was cool and ventilated, suitable for fermentation.

The yeast in the yeast rabbit ferments very quickly. Within an hour, the bird leg will be like being infected by the Crimson King, skipping a few years and turning into ham.

When he first learned about this, Link said it was unscientific, but when he thought about the fact that he had traveled through time, he could only throw science out the window and believe in metaphysics.

Since the time is short, there is no need to worry about insects, and the ham does not even need to be preserved with salt.
