Following Luo Li's guidance, they quickly found the hunting group's camp outside the city.
It is more like a trade market than a camp. Members of the hunting group cut up the freshly slaughtered meat, wrap it in lotus leaves, and place it in front of the stalls for the elves in the city to choose and buy.
This can save a lot of money for the hunting group in taxes on entering and exiting the city, but this expense will ultimately have to be paid for by the elves in the city.
So even though they knew it was against the rules, the City Lord's Mansion still turned a blind eye and pretended not to have seen it.
The hunting group is very important to the Stone Statue City and cannot be deposed or provoked. Several major families, including the relatives of the Lord of Ashe City, make a living from hunting all year round. If stalls are prohibited outside the city, it will inevitably cause a large-scale riot.
strike.
If the hunters go on strike, it means that there will be no meat in the city, and all the elves will have to feed on the dew of flower petals. This will easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the noble meat eaters.
At this time, Pan Sen happened to return to the station with the team. After seeing Chen Feng's back, he subconsciously avoided it.
In the woods outside the city, I was beaten up by him, and my wounds had time to be bandaged. If this had happened earlier, I would have definitely suffered new injuries.
"Isn't it just to steal a sword from you? As for chasing him back to his lair?" Pan Sen covered his face and walked dejectedly to the end of the hunting group, planning to take the opportunity to escape.
"Captain Panson, dinner will be served later. Where are you going? After night falls, skeletons are rampant and it is very unsafe."
Another member of the hunting group shouted at Pan Sen at the top of his voice.
"Pig teammate, I'm not deaf, do I need to shout so loudly? I'm afraid others won't hear me!"
Originally, Chen Feng and Luo Li did not notice the team outside the camp, but this sudden voice directly exposed Pan Sen's position.
"Why are you hiding from me? Are you afraid that I will eat you? Did you do something shameful behind my back?" Chen Feng pulled out the Bauhinia Knight Sword and blocked Pan Sen's way.
"What do you want? I'm just going to give you medicine and then steal the sword. Isn't beating me enough to relieve your anger?" Pan Sen sat in the mud, speechless.
"Of course I don't want to relieve my anger. Just a beating is not enough."
Chen Feng thrust his sword into the ground and squatted next to Pan Sen, "If you don't want to get beaten, just do me a favor."
"Since you want something from me, don't wield a sword or wield a sword. It's so scary."
Pan Sen carefully helped Chen Feng put the Bauhinia Knight Sword back into its scabbard. The cold sword light always made him feel like he was walking on thin ice, fearing that if he said the wrong word, he would be beheaded instantly.
"Captain Panson, don't be nervous, I don't have a hobby of killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Chen Feng reached into his arms and took out the temple portrait, "You have been hunting around these years, so you must be familiar with Grenfell. Have you seen this temple?"
"You should know clearly from the layout of our stone statue city that the elves will never be able to build such a magnificent temple."
Pan Sen looked at the portrait carefully, but still had no clue. He had never seen it before.
Chen Feng was squatting next to him. He didn't dare to say that he didn't know, so he could only prevaricate: "It feels like déjà vu, but it's very unfamiliar. How about this? I'll ask the old man of the hunting group for you tonight. Once I get the result, I'll
Notify you immediately."
"What if you lie and run away?"
"Chen Feng, you don't have to worry about this. If Pan Sen dares to escape with the portrait, then I guarantee that there will never be a place for him in the Stone Statue City in the future." Luo Li replied before Pan Sen could speak.
Because he was too afraid of Chen Feng, he focused on his identity throughout the whole process and even ignored Luo Li behind him.
"What the second lady is saying is that I still have an eighty-five-year-old mother and a seven-year-old daughter in the city. How could I abandon my family and escape alone? Do you think I look like that kind of person?"
"Give me an answer tomorrow night at the latest. My patience has its limits."
After saying that, Chen Feng left the camp. Before leaving, he did not forget to take care of Pan Sen's business and bought a pack of freshly slaughtered wolf meat.
Since Luo Li was with her, she was like a living pass. Even if the city guards knew that Chen Feng was not an elf, they would not dare to stop him.
Night gradually fell, and darkness enveloped the sky, but there were tens of thousands of fluorescent stones piled up in the stone statue city. Although this little bit of green light seemed very weak, it was enough to illuminate every corner of the city.
Chen Feng picked a corner near the mountains and rivers, cut down bamboo poles, collected thatch and firewood, and set up a simple barbecue grill by the river beach.
Although the restaurants in Stone Statue City also provide meat, the elves usually cook the meat in plain water without adding onions, ginger, garlic, oil and salt, and use it directly. Such meat has no taste and Chen Feng cannot even eat half a mouthful.
But I was so greedy that I bought a pack of wolf meat from a hunting group and planned to make campfire barbecue.
Since it was a campfire barbecue, if there was no campfire, the atmosphere would be missing, so Chen Feng set up a dozen fires and formed a circle with Luo Li as the dot.
Before leaving, Merchant Glenn was worried that Chen Feng wouldn't be able to eat elves' food, so he sent someone to bring him salt and pepper.
"Chen Feng, what are you doing?" Luo Li looked expectantly at the rising flames around him.
This was a strange light that she had never seen before. Although it was dim, it was very warm. The heat wave hitting her face made her feel very comfortable.
"In our world, we often invite three or two friends to roast camels and dance in a campfire circle..."
Chen Feng described it to Luo Li vividly. He also cut the bamboo into bamboo sticks, cut the wolf meat with a short dagger, and then used the bamboo sticks to skewer the meat together and bake it on a bamboo board.
Luo Li sat quietly next to Chen Feng, holding his chin, paying full attention to his every move.
Suddenly, she took off her shoes and socks, fully unfolded the golden wings on her back, and danced on the beach with her bare feet under the dual glow of the bonfire and fluorescence.
Her body is very light, like a fallen leaf wandering in the wind, and she can easily complete various difficult postures in mid-air.
"The dance is beautiful and the body is graceful!"
This impromptu dance made Chen Feng put down the barbecue and turned around to watch Luo Li dance.
After dancing, Luo Li excitedly ran to Chen Feng, "What you just said about dancing in the bonfire circle is like me?"
"We are all jumping around, you are the professional."
Chen Feng sprinkled the salt on the barbecue, waited for it to melt, took out the meat skewers, and sprinkled it with pepper.
"How do you like the taste of these meat skewers? I can guarantee that this taste will be unforgettable for you forever." Chen Feng placed the meat skewers on the bamboo board and handed them to Luo Li.
"I must taste the meat you roasted with your own hands."
The pungent taste hit his face. After Luo Li hesitated for a few seconds, he still took a bite.
Her face changed slightly and she muttered: "The tip of my tongue feels so numb. I have never experienced this before."
