Chapter 351: Basilisk Roast Chicken
351 – Basilisk Roast Chicken
After we return to the nest, I line up the basilisk’s body from the head down and the bucket of fruit and herbs. Is the basilisk…edible? If you only look at it now, it looks just like a chicken, so I can eat it now… But above this cut section, there was a white-haried old man with deep red eyes.
『There a problem?』
There’s nothing but problems… Its appearance is one thing, but its insides are also packed with poison. The black lizard might have happily eaten it though.
…Well, it took effort to bring it up here, so we might as well try roasting it. Once the deadly poison evaporates and is floating in the air, even my partner should realise that it’s dangerous. Though if she doesn’t relent, then I will.
As my body is so big as an ouroboros, I still haven’t eaten to the point of satisfaction. I had quite a lot of masked bird, but even so I’m still feeling a little calorie deprived. It’s not like I can’t go on for a few days without eating, but it’s no longer the time to be putting it off. The prey this time is big, and looks just like a chicken. It might not be a bad idea to stock up on nutrition while I can.
…Besides, in this place, there’s probably hardly any decent monsters, right? I already know. The adams and eve, sirens and basilisk. I wonder if they have some sort of impulse that they need to grow a human head somewhere or they won’t be satisfied.
I pluck all the feathers from the basilisk and cut off the ends of its legs. Pale magenta chicken meat is exposed. I cut its abdomen vertically, opening it up. Magenta blood oozes out.
Touching it with my forefoot, I feel pain. The scales of my forefoot are a little bit melted. I shake my forefoot to remove the poisonous blood.
