Ding Kui took out a stack of jerky from his bag, handed it to Bai Ruoxi and said, "You can eat this, don't worry, this is the jerky of Bingjiao Snow Beef, made from the best quality back meat, it has a very tender texture."
Cool.?
Thinking of the mouse on Lei Feixiang's hand, Bai Ruoxi grabbed the jerky without any restraint, selected a piece and bit off a small corner, savored it carefully, "Well, not bad, it's better than any beef jerky I've ever eaten.
I will only eat this kind of beef jerky from now on."
Cui Tianwu was helping Lei Feixiang deal with the nest of mountain rats, beheading the rats, bleeding and skinning them, breaking open the abdomen, and taking out the internal organs. After listening to Bai Ruoxi's words, he turned around and said with a smile: "Cousin, Bingjiaoxue beef is the best quality beef.
.They are hidden deep in the Hengduan Mountains and are rarely hunted by humans. Dried meat made from their meat has not appeared in China for many years.
If they hadn't made a rare appearance in the beast tide a while ago, and were killed by the Tenth Army, more than a thousand of them would not have been able to find Bingjiaoxue beef jerky on the market. The inventory in the hands of Mr. Xie Peng must be magician
Most people can't buy what the guild rations, and we haven't been able to buy it in Tianmen Town in the past three days."
Hearing that the beef jerky on hand was unavailable, Bai Ruoxi picked up a piece and chewed it. Even the mushroom stewed pimple soup was reluctant to take another sip, for fear that after drinking it, she would lose a piece of beef jerky.
In private, Bai Ruoxi secretly gave Hua Mulan two pieces of Bingjiaoxue beef jerky, "Try it, it's delicious. Don't let that guy see it, otherwise he won't give it to me. Hehe, it's rare for him to be generous, so I must eat it."
That’s enough.”
Hua Mulan covered her mouth and smiled: "He is a good man, I think he has more chivalry spirit than you."
"Well, well, I feel that he is more like a nobleman than my brothers at home. He is stern when he should be strict and graceful when he should be graceful. If I hadn't met him in the adventure group and he was a magician, I would definitely
I think he is a child of a high-ranking noble family." Bai Ruoxi glanced at Ding Kui secretly.
Ding Kui was applying spices to the skinned mountain hamster. Coming from a country with a lot of gourmet food, he had already prepared various spices and seasonings, including those for barbecue, hot pot, and soup.
"Eat" comes first.
After the mountain hamsters coated with spices were roasted, the aroma was fragrant. Dou Xiaoqi took a bite and praised: "Magicians are very particular. If it were coated with the coarse salt we prepared, this barbecue would not be so delicious."
"Your Excellency Xie Peng, if I stay with you for a long time, I will definitely gain weight again. A real foodie should be like you who know how to eat." Lei Feixiang said while wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, you are just kidding and saying that I am a foodie. Why do we work so hard every day? Eat something good, wear something good, sleep well every day, and explore the magical world with full energy.
This kind of life is the most perfect." Ding Kui made himself look like a magician in an adventure group.
"Cough, cough, cough," Bai Ruoxi choked at Ding Kui's words, "Hey, I just said he looked like a high-ranking nobleman, but now his true nature has been revealed. He is just a poor magician." She complained bitterly.
.
"What he said is not bad. My husband and I are satisfied to have such a life." Hua Mulan patted Bai Ruoxi's back gently, feeling impressed by Ding Kui's words.
After eating and drinking, Ma Qiao'er and Hua Mulan went around and set up simple warning traps. The three warriors in the team took on the responsibility of keeping watch. The archers and magicians had to keep their spirits high. Bai Ruoxi received preferential treatment and no one was there.
Come out to oppose, and everyone has established a tacit understanding on this.
The winter nights here are also longer. Besides the ferocious monsters, the adventure group's biggest enemy is the cold. The most important thing to pack is dry food, and the other is fur to keep warm at night.
Ding Kui used a piece of cloth to separate the inside and outside of the tent on the pretext that he was afraid of being disturbed by Lei Feixiang's snoring. After hiding inside, he took out a piece of fire monster skin from the space ring and wrapped it tightly around his body.
The other members of the group were surprised at first that he didn't have a large piece of fur in his bag. Ding Kui used the excuse that he was a fire magician and there were many ways to solve the temperature problem. Everyone believed it. They lacked understanding of magicians unless they were in the elemental realm.
Magician stage, otherwise fire magicians will still be afraid of the cold.
After an uneventful night, the sky had just turned white, and the seven people got up and started to pack up the camp and prepare to go out.
After climbing over the top of the mountain, we saw Torch Mountain through the morning light adventure group. This straight and towering mountain, the top of the mountain is actually wider than the mountainside. Black smoke and mist are constantly rising from the top of the mountain, as if fire will light up the next moment.
A standing torch does look a bit like it.
Bai Ruoxi looked a little excited and said, "Look, the other tops of the mountain are all white, but this one is burnt yellow. I have never seen such a strange sight."
"In the past, when the bald-tailed fire apes were around, we didn't dare to get close there. The fire apes all over the mountains and plains would drown us with torrential fireballs," Cui Tianwu said.
"There are also 'Fire Feathered Crows'. They can spit out rockets very fast and are more difficult to deal with than the Bald-tailed Fire Ape." Lei Feixiang added, "But as long as you don't get close to their nests and actively provoke them, they are
It won't attack."
Fire Feather Crow is a level three fire monster. It has the habit of building a cave on the top of a mountain. It can spray rockets and has high flying speed. It is a very vengeful monster.
"This volcano won't erupt, it's still smoking." It was Ding Kui's first time seeing a volcano, and he had forgotten all about the introduction to geology.
"It has always been like this. There has been no record of spraying here since Tianmen Town was established. As long as Tianmen Town sprays, you will definitely feel it." Lei Feixiang's answer made Ding Kui feel at ease.
They went down the mountain very quickly, arriving at the foot of Torch Mountain just after the sun passed over the treetops.
"It's as quiet as death up there. I didn't feel any energy fluctuations." Ding Kui looked up at the top of the mountain and added an eagle eye skill to himself. "The Fire Feathered Crows should be active during the day. Why can't I see any of them?"
arrive?"
Both Ma Qiaoer and Hua Mulan opened their eyes and searched carefully. Ding Kui also added the eagle eye technique to them. This water magic is quite practical in the mountains.
"They should come out to look for food early in the morning. Could it be that they were really eaten by other monsters?" The sparrow also felt puzzled.
"Don't worry about the Fire Feathered Crow. All the bald-tailed fire apes here should be dead. Let's find their nests first." Cui Tianwu waved his hand and took the lead to walk up the mountain.
Just as Cui Tianwu had judged, they climbed the mountainside without encountering a single bald-tailed fire ape.
"This should be a place. It seems that someone got there first." The sparrow discovered a giant empty cave.
Lei Feixiang burrowed back and forth in the cave like a hound, constantly smelling the smell with his nose. After working for a while, he said in frustration: "The search was very clean. It can be confirmed that it was done by humans."
"Then the Fire-Feathered Crow on the top of the mountain was also killed by these people?" Bai Ruoxi put forward her conjecture unwillingly.
"It's unlikely. It will take several adventure groups to kill all the crows. Don't forget that the Fire Feather Crow flies very fast and can escape if you can't defeat it." Bai Ruoxi's guess was quickly overturned by Lei Feixiang.
"Let's go up and take a look. They are all here. Maybe these people will leave before a monster eats up the Fire Feathered Crow." Ding Kui felt a little lucky.
All the members had the same thoughts as Ding Kui. They gave up looking for the nests of other fire apes. If there was no magic core in the nest of the Fire-Feathered Crow on the top of the mountain, their trip would have been in vain.
However, the cruel reality appeared in front of this adventure group. The fire-feathered crow's nest was as empty as the fire ape, and there was still water vapor lingering in it. Fires appeared from the depths from time to time. The temperature here was much warmer than at the foot of the mountain.
"There isn't even a single crow corpse. Humans can't do such a thorough job. The fire-feathered crow's corpse is worthless. Is there something wrong with the middle layer? What wiped out all the birds on the periphery?" Without the magic core, Ding
Kui turned his attention to the problem of the extinction of birds.
Cui Tianwu looked at Lei Feixiang and asked: "I have never encountered this situation before, have you encountered it?"
"No, the monsters within the middle layer have a fixed hunting range. This is the first time I have seen this kind of situation crossing the boundary so far." Lei Feixiang, who was busy again, looked confused.
Hua Mulan asked her husband worriedly: "Will we be in danger? Should we change the plan?"
"You've eaten so well on the way here. Even if there are monsters from the middle layer, they won't be around anymore. At least you won't encounter them or them if you go north. Don't worry, there won't be any danger." Cui Tian
Wu comforted his wife.
"The habitat of the golden lynx is northwest of here. Where should we go next?" Sparrow has already memorized the planned route in his mind.
"We'll be running in vain wherever we go," Ding Kui took out a map from his arms, "We can't tell how early the person walking in front of us is at the moment, so we might as well jump away a little and try to remove the bones first.
Beetle's Nest."
Cui Tianwu, Ma Qiaoer and Lei Feixiang all gathered around to look at the map.
"What a good idea. Wenquan Ridge is just north of Torch Mountain, and it's only a day's journey from here. I agree to go there first." Cui Tianwu and Ma Qiaoer said after looking at each other.
"Reliable." Lei Feixiang's answer was short and powerful.
Ding Kui walked to the depths of the Fire Feather Crow's nest, picked up a few stones, and threw one to Bai Ruoxi, "Take it, this thing can warm your hands. Now that you're here, don't go back empty-handed. It's unlucky."
When several other people heard this, they thought it made sense. It would be unlucky to return empty-handed. This bad luck must not extend to the next destination. So they all imitated Ding Kui and picked up a hot rock, either holding it in their hands or carrying it in their pocket.
In arms.
The core of this feudal superstition is to give people strong psychological hints. There is soil for it to grow in every human world. If I do this, will it lead to a trend of superstition in this world?
Ding Kui held the stone and muttered in his heart.
