Chapter 800: 809 809 Gathering Ingredients In The Jungle

Following the path deeper into the jungle Marcus and Mrazivý continued to see plenty of amazing and unusual sights.

Everything was quite different than Borealia, which was a northern nation, and from the plant life to animals, the tropical jungle had many things that neither of them had ever seen. Especially Mrazivý who had never been this far from her home before.

"Marcus do you know what that is?" Mrazivý said, pointing up at a tall tree that stood above the others in the jungle.

There were more of its species dotted around and on each one was a certain type of seed that was well known back on Earth.

"I believe those are a type of coconut. Inside they have a sweet milky liquid, and their flesh is soft and good to eat. Well, only if those are coconuts. They look similar but are definitely not like the ones I have seen before." Marcus said, squinting at the coconuts.

Unlike the ones he knew from Earth these were all the size of large bowling balls, and instead of a rough brown exterior they were slick and had a dark silver coloring.

"From your description they sound pretty good. Want to crack one open and try it out?" Mrazivý said with a glint in her eyes.

She always did like trying new food.

"Sure, give me a second." Marcus said with a smile on his face.

He then sent out his spectral arm and plucked one of the coconuts of the nearby tree and brought it back.

'What the hell. It must way like twenty kilos.' Marcus thought as he dropped it into his hands.

He had been expecting it to be a bit heavy, but it was way denser than he thought it would be.

"It is tough too." Mrazivý said as she gave it a heavy tap.

With the amount of force she had put behind her simple tap a normal coconut would have been spit in two, but this one did not have a mark on it.

"The shell is almost like metal. I think that you could properly make decent armor out of this. Not as good as mithril but possibly a little better than bronze." Marcus said, going into forging mode for a minute.

"How long are you going to analyze it. It may be tough, but it is not something we cannot bust open with ease." Mrazivý said, getting a bit impatient.

Naturally after Marcus had described how it tasted to her, she was dying to try it.

"Sure, just give me a moment."

Pulling out his adamantine knife Marcus carved a large hole in the top of the titanium shell coconut. Its toughness, not being able to withstand such a high-quality blade and Marcus' strength stat.

Immediately as it was opened up, a sweet intoxicating smell began wafting out of the coconut.

"Hm, it seems to have become some type of alcohol." Marcus said as he took a quick taste.

It was only a slight amount, maybe about two percent alcohol, but there was no doubt that this coconut did not contain the normal liquid that Marcus had been expecting.

"Here. It is pretty good." Marcus said, handing it off to Mrazivý.

Swiftly she took it in both hands and took a big swig of it, and thoroughly tested the tase before swallowing.

"It is quite good. Sweet and smooth. I think I might actually really like them." Mrazivý said as she sent a greedy look towards the rest that were on the nearby tree.

"Okay, before we take anymore though, we need to try the inner flesh and see how it tastes."

Taking the coconut back, Marcus finished off the rest of the liquid inside before fully slicing the top off.

Now that the inner flesh was exposed Marcus found that it had a creamer color than the ones on earth and was almost faintly pink.

"Pretty good. It has a nice sweetness to it. I could see it going well with quite a few confections." Mrazivý said after trying a bit.

"Yeah, I could make a coconut cheesecake or maybe some maybe chocolate coconut truffles."

Nodding her head, Mrazivý said that she wanted to try whatever it was Marcus was talking about and he promised to make some for her later.

"Now let us grab them all." Mrazivý said enthusiastically as she began flying towards the tree.

However, before she got far Marcus grabbed her and kept her under control.

"We cannot just take them all. The resort probably uses them as well and it will be suspicious if they all just suddenly go missing. There quite a few trees so I think we can take three dozen without causing any problems but let's hold back from grabbing anymore."

Agreeing with him Mrazivý raced off to the nearest tree and took two more of the coconuts on it before flying off tot eh next one and doing the same.

Soon they had acquired the thirty-six agreed upon coconuts, but Mrazivý was not done yet.

"Marcus I spotted a fruit I have never seen before growing on one of the bushes deeper in the jungle. We should go gather some of those as well."

"Sure, let us go and see what bounty this jungle has." Marcus said, interested himself.

Hours went by as they scoured the jungle for ingredients they had never seen before, while also occasionally taking time to watch the diverse animal life that they could not see in Borealia.

"Still, everything sure is peaceful here. Normally we would have run into some sort of dangerous beast or monster by now, but everything on this island is pretty docile and low leveled." Mrazivý said on their way back to their room.

"I image that they do constant sweeps to get rid of any beast that gets too strong and the monsters that were originally here were probably wiped out by whoever made this place." Marcus surmised.

"Now we have collected a cache of ingredients neither of us have ever had before. We should hurry back so that we can start experimenting and finding new dishes to make."
