Log in to make bonito fish sauce.

Cuttlefish fish sauce: rarity level 7 Cooking Quality C+

Fish sauce made from fermented skipjack tuna.

The undiluted liquid is diluted and adjusted to taste just right.

This is the fish sauce you can buy on the market. It's a perfect fish sauce. I would like to thank Shallow and his team.

Next, I think I'll make surume.

First, I cut the squid squid so that its body and legs are attached to each other. Then cut the cartilage and remove the mouth and eyes. Finally, I peel off the ears so as not to damage the gut.

After that, scrape off the sucker, rinse it and dry it in salt water for 3 to 5 minutes. The squid should be ready tomorrow because the squid will be dried overnight.

After that, I'll make a meal for everyone and then I'll make a beef steak for Lily to eat.

'Ahhhh. It's so good!　Ugh!

'I know it's delicious, so don't go wild. It hurts, doesn't it?

...yes.

Lily stares at me.

'What's wrong?'

Huh?　Uh, no!　I thought this kind of tact would be nice.

What kind of me...

Then I felt a glance behind me, and Aeon and the others were grinning at me.

''...What?''

_

f*ck! What's wrong with you?

Sigh... next time let Aeon do it for me.

No!　It's gotta be Takt or else!

If Lily says so, you have to do it... After feeding Lily and putting her to sleep, you finally head out into the desert.

The members are Ix, Gray, Byakuya, Hix, and Stra. Ix as the flame attribute, and we head into the desert. We've finished collecting the iron sand, so we'll have plenty to explore this time.

I rode Hicks from the rocky area and left. But they won't let me explore easily.

''Enemy, they're coming from the front!　Master!

I visually confirmed it, too.

Lesser Gryphon Lv 15.

Summoned Monster Target Active

I can't lose this one! The Lesser Griffon uses a lightning breath.

Byakuya, Hix and Stra avoid it.

'Rune skill!'

Now the nasty skills are sealed off. In this situation, we have no choice but to fight hard. I'm going to change my weapon to a spear.

''We'll deal with this guy ourselves!

As I say this, Gray rides Stra and Byakuya keep their distance.

'Let's do it!　Hicks!

Pee!

The Lesser Gryphon's claws and my spear collide. It bounces, and Hix and the Lesser Gryphon collide. I was about to be shaken off, but I managed to hold on. I knew it would be tough with a spear... but I can't pull it off here!

The partnership with Hicks is activated and he rushes in with a whirlwind spear. The Lesser Gryphon comes rushing in as well. Excellent!

We collided again, and I pierced the Lesser Gryphon's claws and went straight through the Lesser Gryphon's neck.

But the Lesser Griffon glared at me. It flapped its wings and came scratching at me with its claws, which were safe as it pulled out its spear... Hicks took it with his claws, opening up the distance.

Seriously... it's amazing that he's safe with that one, but he even fights back... I look at the Lesser Griffon, who is still staring at me even though he's dying.

It's amazing... for a man who's dying, he stands tall... he's the king of the skies. Then it's rude if we don't get serious too! He activates the linkage again. In contrast, the Lesser Gryphon activates a windbreak. No matter! And I'm gonna go through with it!

Pile bunker!

The collaboration between the windbreak, me and Hix clashed, and I pierced the windbreak, and this time I pierced the Lesser Gryphon's face, knocking the Lesser Gryphon down.

Huh... the Lesser Gryphon was still strong... now, let's dismantle it.

Lesser Gryphon's Feather: Rare Level 5 Material Quality C

A feather of the Lesser Gryphon with the power of the wind. Used in armor and items.

Hmm. Looks like they're used to make armor. The item is probably a brush. I'll give it to Wufu when I return.

Then, Ix, who was riding with Hicks, slowly turns to look at me.

I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Master.

Oh, no.

Oh man...I forgot about Ix. I couldn't help but get hot at the sight of the Lesser Gryphon.

''It's fine... but we'll fight the next enemy ourselves.

Oh, yeah. You're on your own.

So we continued our search and found a giant cactus.

Euphorbia ingens.

Come to think of it, I've heard that cacti don't grow in the Sahara desert. This guy is the one that gets mistaken for a cactus in the desert... It's shady, and I was at the moment when I approached to take a break.

Numerous spikes suddenly shot out of Euphorbia.

''Hicks!''

Hicks uses a windbreak to prevent it. Identify.

Euphorbia Ingens Lv 30.

Normal Monster Target Active

That son of a b*tc*... tricked my identification skills. I didn't know we were dealing with this kind of enemy... but if we find out, we're going to go easy on him!

”Rune skills!

Euphorbia's needle attack stopped.

'Ix!'

Yes, Master.

Ix readied his energy sword, and a blade of flaming energy slashed through Euphorbia, breaking it apart. Huh? That's weak for the level.

Gaaaah!

Gray's warning! What is it?

A cloud of green smoke forms as the dismembered Euphorbia falls into the desert. I hurriedly instructed Hicks to get away from it. Then countless spikes came flying out of the smoke.

I quickly prevented them with Byakuya's spiritual power and Hicks' wind protection, but the number of spikes was even greater than before... When I was unaware of what happened, Ix informed me of the situation.

'Enemy reaction is increasing. There are many smaller enemies on the ground.''

A skill like Puyosuke's Splitting... or a rune skill can't aim at a small enemy on the ground in a windproof wind... then I'll just obliterate them all together.

'Ix, take care of the energy blaster.

Yes, Master.

Ix holds up his energy blaster.

'Charges complete.'

All right. Hicks, let's get the windbreak open. Gray, Stra, Byakuya. Stop their attack.

The aim of the needles falls apart as Stra and Byakuya exit the barrier. Gray roars at Stra to blast the spikes that are closing in on him, and Byakuya uses his spiritual power to return all of his needles to the enemy, and in one fell swoop, he enters the enemy's bosom with a whirlwind and a sprint, slicing through it with his wind claws. As Byakuya moves away, Stra's venomous breath hits the enemy.

With the wind protection lifted, he was able to identify the enemy.

Euphorbia Man Lv 20.

Normal Monster Target Active

There was a lot of little doll euphorbia. I'm sorry to come out of the blue, but I need you to be gone.

”Target acquired. ”Energy blaster firing!

An energy blaster burst into the central point where the Euphorbia Man was swarming, and the majority of them were obliterated. I'll leave the rest to Grey and his team.

The battle is over and we dismantle them.

Numbing Needle: Rare Level 6 Material Quality C

A needle with deadly poison and paralyzing effects. Used as a throwing weapon.

That was a close one... this needle was a bad one. I got a lot of those. I have throwing skills too, so it'll come in handy. I'm sure the fire shadows will want it.

Afterwards, we find a rock that could be used as a resting place and eat shaved ice in the shade. Shaved ice is great and effective. You feel it when you're in the desert.

As we were all resting, a strange one arrived.

Boxer Kangaroo Lv 33.

Tame Monster Target Active

Well, let's meditate on the fact that the kangaroo has a glove. But there's something else I really need to tweak.

Why the Afro? No, I guess it's because I'm a boxer...but kangaroo afros don't look good on me.

Then the boxer kangaroo makes a hand appeal to me to come over here. Then Ix reacts.

'I don't need a master to come out.'

The boxer kangaroo takes a cross-arm block stance as Ix releases his energy gun. The energy gun is then popped.

''Na...ku!''
