Ginseng Bao picked up the Lingli induction cooker next to him and placed it gently in the corner. He raised the custom-made kitchen knife in his right hand and gave a light drink. His round eyes suddenly became sharp.
"ha."
I saw the ginseng treasure's arm waving rapidly, and the kitchen knife drew a shadow all over the sky, accurately cutting the ingredients on the chopping board into equal slices.
Then he poured the ingredients into the pot with a kitchen knife and a shovel, and quickly stir-fried the pot. While cooking, he directed the vines to prepare the next ingredients.
Looking at Ginseng Bao's skillful movements, Lin Mo couldn't help but click his tongue. In more than a year, although Ginseng Bao has not been able to improve in strength, its progress in cooking skills is simply unparalleled.
This also led to a saying circulating among Chenghai's top circles: Once you taste the treasure, there will be no other delicious food in the world.
"Done!"
Half an hour later, Ginseng Bao breathed a sigh of relief, solemnly took off his chef's uniform and put it into the ring. Then he put the kitchen knife into water and washed it carefully, wiped it clean with a towel and put it in the knife sheath.
After doing all this, Ginseng Bao's originally serious face instantly returned to its previous smile, and he walked around placing the dishes on the table one by one.
"Lin Mo, try it quickly. This is my latest dish."
Ginseng Bao placed a piece of braised rabbit meat in front of Lin Mo, like a child waiting for the teacher's evaluation, with nervousness on his face.
Although he couldn't help Lin Mo fight, he could do his best to let Lin Mo eat different delicacies every day. This was the happiest thing in his heart.
"Well, it's delicious. Xiaobao, your cooking skills have improved again."
Lin Mo smiled and touched the small leaf on the top of the ginseng treasure's head. After such a long time, the ginseng treasure was like a little brother and became his relative.
"Hmph, I am the founder of Xiaobaocai."
Ginseng Bao put his hands on his waist, raised his head slightly, and hummed with pride on his face.
While the two were talking, Shuangxue, who had been waiting for a long time, happily picked up the plate, cleared all the seven or eight dishes on the table like a whirlwind, and then lay down on the ground, patting his bulging belly with a satisfied look on his face.
.
....
In the early morning of the next day, warm sunlight spread through the barrier and fell on Lin Mo's body.
Lin Mo opened his eyes. Beside him, Ginseng Bao was wrapped in a blanket and just hugging Lin Mo. The green leaves above his head were flapping from time to time, bringing in a little cool breeze.
On the other side, Shuangxue lay flat on the blanket with a standard Chinese character, her mouth wide open, and crystal clear ambergris saliva slipped from the corner of her mouth.
"My lord."
Bai Liang, who was sitting on the rock wall of the cave outside, got up and walked slowly behind Lin Mo after seeing Lin Mo.
Lin Mo nodded and spread the map in front of Bai Liang.
"Bai Liang, what do you think?"
"There was nothing unusual around last night, but I don't think those people will give up so easily. I'm afraid they have guessed the Lord's intention and ambushed on the road they must pass."
Bai Liang pointed with his finger to a canyon jungle at the intersection of the mountains on the map, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"My subordinates believe that if their goal is to find a treasure trove, this canyon jungle is their best ambush location."
"However, as the saying goes, soldiers are crafty. The location here is too obvious, making it impossible. My subordinates think we can do this."
Bai Liang looked at the location on the map, a sneer appeared on his calm face, and then told Lin Mo his thoughts.
"Then follow the plan you said."
After Lin Mo washed briefly, he jumped to the treetop and quickly approached the position on the map.
On the other side of the mountain range, Liu Chu led a few people to the canyon jungle.
Although they have not determined the specific location of the treasure in the mountains, if Lin Mo's goal this time is really the treasure in the mountains, then this canyon leading to the center of the mountains must be the place Lin Mo must pass.
"Brother Chu, I have asked my team members to lay out many formations in the places they pass by."
"But why should we abandon the most important route in the canyon?"
Zhuang Xing said doubtfully. After receiving Liu Chu's order, he commanded the team to set up more than ten formations along the route since noon yesterday.
Each formation map covered two auxiliary formations and a killing formation, but what puzzled him the most was that Liu Chu actually specifically asked him to abandon that main route.
"You can see the route, do you think Lin Mo can't see it?"
"After what happened yesterday, he will definitely give up this road and choose a more remote route, so we will do the opposite."
Liu Chu's face was solemn. If it weren't for the importance of this treasure land, he wouldn't want to conflict with a talented demon-sealing master like Lin Mo.
After the arrangement was completed, Liu Chu asked someone to deliberately expose a few flaws on the main road, and then lurked deep in the jungle to wait quietly for Lin Mo's arrival.
A few hours later, Lin Mo stood on the treetops, quietly looking at the canyon in front of him.
"Lin Mo, do you want to start from here?" Ginseng Bao jumped out of the flames and looked at Lin Mo curiously.
"Well, we just need to open a passage of about one kilometer to reach this area."
Lin Mo took out a map and showed it to Ginseng Bao. After studying all the information on the map, he and Bai Liang guessed that there was a 70% certainty that the ambush would be about 500 meters away from the entrance.
The terrain is complicated, and due to the canyon, almost all trails can be covered. In the end, even if he chooses to pass through the main road, the ambushers can react quickly to surround him.
For this reason, he decided to use ginseng to dig a tunnel to a dense forest about 800 meters away and hit them hard from behind.
In the canyon jungle, a slope suddenly bulged, and the soil collapsed into a pit.
Walking out of the passage, Lin Mo patted the dust on his body after recalling the ginseng treasure, chuckled, and disappeared in the dense forest on the left in an instant.
In the jungle, five men wearing different clothes were hiding quietly in the corner of the bushes, their eyes warily watching the surroundings for any sign of disturbance.
"Captain, do you think what Brother Zhuang said is true? Are we really the same Lin Mo who ambushed Chenghai here?" A curly-haired man in the team said hesitantly.
As one of the top demon sealing masters in the Eastern Province, Lin Mo's deeds and achievements have been widely circulated in the entire Eastern Province forum.
Now they were suddenly ordered to ambush Lin Mo, which made the curly-haired man feel terrified.
"This is Master Liu Chu's order. Besides, so many of us have set up a formation to ambush here, and a mere casual cultivator can just blow it off."
Captain Hu Stubble spat disdainfully. As a son-in-law of the Liu family, he looked down on those poor casual cultivators from the bottom of his heart.
It is simply a dream for anyone from an ordinary family to want to turn around. In his opinion, Lin Mo only reached the top position on the monster hunting list with a few lucky battles.
I'm afraid the strength is not as good as that of their Liu family's genius, Young Master Liu Chu. After all, the Liu family is a wealthy family that has been developing for nearly a hundred years, so how can those weak-legged people compare to it.
After hearing the captain's words, the curly-haired man was still slightly worried, but he could only resolutely ambush here. In his heart, he did not believe that Lin Mo could fight against their elite team at the same time.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so confident."
Just as a few people were staring ahead, a deep voice suddenly came from above their heads.
