We started preparing to camp before the sun went down, because at night, the sudden rise of fire would attract the attention of monsters and beasts.
"Originally, if I were alone, I could build a bed in a tree. Although it's a bit shabby, it's simple and quick. But I imagine you pampered guys might not be able to stand it."
Phoenix said slowly while taking out a huge tent from his inventory, his eyes faithfully looking at the delicate-looking Princess Sanwu.
I think, I know why this guy was dumped 55 times in a row. In addition to being a love idiot, it also has a lot to do with his character of saying whatever comes to mind. Will you die if you don't mess with Princess Sanwu for a while? But maybe this is also a wise choice - anyway, he has already provoked him once before, and he is destined to die. It is better to provoke him a few more times before dying, so as to die heroically.
Seeing Princess Sanwu's beautiful eyes blending into the dim forest, I glanced at Phoenix with pity again.
What Phoenix took out was a huge tent. It’s hard to say how big it was. I only knew that it would be enough to light a bonfire inside and pitch three or four more tents. For ordinary people to pitch such a large tent well, It's impossible without half a day, but it's easy for adventurers like us, especially veterans like Phoenix. After finding a piece of fresh and dry flat land near the river, we cleaned up a little and then headed back to the river. The whole process of setting up a tent on it took less than half an hour.
The top of the big tent is open like a chimney, which allows the smoke from the campfire to escape. It can be closed when it rains, which is more convenient, but it is a bit too big and inconvenient to carry.
After setting up a bonfire in the camp, I just wanted to eat some dried meat to satisfy my stomach. Phoenix's sneering laughter came from the side.
"Brother Wu Fan, you seem to have forgotten where you are. This is a forest, a huge virgin forest, containing a treasure trove of millions of kinds of food. You actually eat dried meat. It's too ridiculous."
Looking back, Phoenix has entered the forest expert mode, and he is giving me a lecture with a very impressive look, asking me to put down the dried meat in my hand.
By the way, I found that this guy is very particular about some small aspects. Isn't it just a dinner? Does he go out for training or hunting? Why should he pay attention to these things? Perhaps this is the difference between the concepts of adventurers and wanderers.
"Okay. Then tell me what to do?"
Phoenix actually made a proposal. Of course I'm not opposed to getting something delicious. You can't treat yourself badly at any time, right?
"Leave it to me, the expert. I guarantee that you will have a dinner that you will never forget. As for you, brother, if you are interested, you might as well look for it. As long as it is edible, I can make it delicious. "Phoenix said this proudly.
"Okay. A survival game in the wild? That's a good idea. Let's go look for it separately."
I took out the crystal sword. Tie a thin string on one end. Ready to go to the river to have a look.
"I wonder if it's my misunderstanding. Brother, I noticed that you seem to have a special liking for fishing." Phoenix looked at my actions speechlessly.
"It's just your illusion."
You can’t say that I can’t go to the forest, because I will get lost as soon as I go to the forest...
"But man, I don't think you can catch any fish you can eat."
Before we split up, Phoenix patted me on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Huh, just ignore it, I haven't tried it yet." How could you not know? I continued to implement the idea that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and strode towards the river before the sun went down.
However, after ten minutes, I finally understood what Phoenix's meaningful look meant.
Question 1: Are there fish in the river? Of course there is.
Question 2: Are there many fish in the river? Of course there are more.
Question 3: With so many fish, which one is easiest to catch?
the answer is……
Piranha.
He numbly tied the innocent and struggling earthworm to the other end of the thin line and went out for the Nth time. Before the poor little earthworm landed on the water, a black shadow jumped out of the water while it was in mid-air. Swallowed the bait with its sharp, jagged mouth. Following the black shadow were several more black shadows, or biting on thin lines. Some even simply dragged the tail of the black shadow in front of them and formed a large chain.
YE, get 12 piranhas.
I flicked it gently and pulled up the thread that had not been able to enter the water until now. A large string of piranhas was thrown high into the air and then fell to the side.
I turned around and looked at the fish mountain piled up next to me, which was taller than me. They were all small gray-brown fish half a foot long, with flat bodies, teeth like saws, and fins like knives. I could catch them in one minute. So much, I should be happy, but why do I feel like crying.
Forget it, anyway, Phoenix said that as long as it was edible, he could make it delicious. I thought sadly, thinking that there were enough fish, so why not get some others? I wandered up and down the river for a while, no. After a while, a huge quadruped was discovered, lying lazily on the river bank, seemingly enjoying the afterglow of the setting sun.
Oh, this should be edible.
The next moment, the huge fighting and roaring sounds of wild beasts sounded from the river...
An hour later, I opened the tent door unsteadily, and Phoenix had returned. He was quickly applying spices to an unknown beast that had been cleaned. It seemed that he was planning to have a roast feast.
"Oh, brother Wu Fan, are you back? How was your harvest? I was just about to say I was looking for you, uh...you, what's going on with you? Did you encounter any powerful monster?"
While handling the food, Phoenix turned around and saw that I looked like a beggar with a shabby face, my clothes were in tatters and one of my shoes was missing, and he couldn't help but asked curiously.
"No...nothing."
I raised my bloodshot eyes, staggered forward two steps as if exhausted, and opened the tent door, revealing a mountain of piranhas outside.
"Can these things be eaten?"
"Haha... Sure enough... it's just as I expected. Didn't I tell you?" Phoenix couldn't help but be happy when he saw the piranhas all over the place, some of their sharp mouths opening and closing, and they were still jumping and tossing fiercely. Mouth.
"Can they eat it?"
"I can, but I can't." Phoenix replied with a smile.
"What. You are not the only one who makes it delicious as long as it is edible?" I immediately became angry, grabbed Phoenix's collar and shook him. What kind of forest expert do you think you are?
"Can feces be eaten?" was all Phoenix said.
Firestorm.
After being speechless for a while, I pressed my hand to the ground, and a pillar of fire erupted from the mountain of piranhas, immediately roasting the fish on the ground into charcoal.
It doesn't matter, we still have the finale, let's take a breath. I struggled to drag a giant beast in from the outside, with Phoenix's stunned eyes.
"Oh my God, this is Emperor Crocodile..."
He looked at a huge creature lying on the ground with four legs, nearly half a man tall. Phoenix muttered.
The giant thing I dragged in looked like a crocodile from the outside, but this crocodile was a little weird. From its mouth to its tail, it was more than twenty meters long. Each scale on its body was as big as a palm, starting from its forehead. Extending to the back of the tail, there are two rows of ferocious barbs. Not to mention the terrifying crocodile mouth, it was like a meat grinder. Even steel could be broken instantly when it was put in. When I was completely dragged in, the entire large open tent was already filled with its body. It was full and looked like a steel demon.
"Brother, you really gave me too many surprises. This is Emperor Crocodile, the legendary Emperor Crocodile. This is the first time I have seen it." Phoenix was already excitedly kissing the giant monster called Emperor Crocodile.
"Is this delicious?"
I desperately want to know the answer. Damn it, I was careless and forgot to put on good equipment. As a result, a set of good blue equipment was worn out by this guy's terrifying attack, and I ended up like this. Thinking of its terrifying sharp teeth and strong scales still gives me chills. The native animals here are truly terrifying. This crocodile called Emperor Crocodile alone is probably no less powerful than a demon king. If the prey that I took so much pains to kill could not be eaten, I would have to vomit three liters of blood.
"Yes, of course I can. Oh my god, brother Wu Fan, don't you know? In the primitive forest recipe ranking, the meat of this crocodile is known as one of the three delicacies of Kurast, just because It’s too rare, and you’ve seen its strength, so not many people can taste its deliciousness until now.”
Except for you, who would care about that kind of ranking? As long as you can eat it.
"The whole body of this emperor crocodile is full of treasures. Not only is the meat delicious, the blood and internal organs can cure various diseases, but also its scales. If left to an excellent blacksmith, even a dark gold-level earth It's not impossible to use scale armor, but it's a pity that a lot of blood was wasted." Phoenix continued to spread knowledge to me on the side, saying that almost all the crocodile blood was shed along the way, and he couldn't help but look at me with a depressed look.
Oh, dark gold scales? This is quite tempting.
After making a lot of eloquent remarks, in the end, because Emperor Crocodile was too big and difficult to handle now that night had fallen, Phoenix removed part of its flesh and then used ice magic to completely freeze it. The total weight of the crocodile is about ten tons, and it is estimated that it will not be handled for several days.
"By the way, Phoenix, what good things did you get back?" I then remembered that besides the unknown beast he just dealt with, there must be others, otherwise he would be worthy of the title of forest expert.
Phoenix, who had already put aside the half-finished roast feast and started processing the crocodile meat instead, became excited when he heard what I said. He didn't even bother to deal with the crocodile, so he lifted some round things from the corner. , looking inside, it turned out to be some mushrooms?
"It's time for me, Phoenix, to popularize forest knowledge to you again." Phoenix pretended to cough a few times and continued.
"As you can see, there are some mushrooms in front of you. Except for those idiots who grew up in the desert, I think everyone knows that brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten. You should know this."
I nodded. A moment of silence for the third time he messed with Princess Sanwu. Unfortunately, she is what you call a desert-born idiot.
"However, it's not just those mushrooms that look edible, they must be fine, for us adventurers. Even those brightly colored poisonous mushrooms are not very dangerous. On the contrary, there is a kind of mushroom that is very similar to edible mushrooms. It’s difficult to distinguish, but it can cause harm to us adventurers. In order to give you a clear understanding, I brought back a few."
As he said that, Phoenix carefully picked out a few ordinary-looking mushrooms from the pile of mushrooms, which looked just like other mushrooms.
"That's what I'm talking about. Psychedelic mushrooms look the same as edible mushrooms, but they are extremely poisonous. Ordinary people will be poisoned to death if they eat a little bit. Even adventurers, after eating..." Phoenix sold it After a while, he showed a serious expression.
"What...what will happen?" I was exaggerated by the serious atmosphere and swallowed hard.
"It will cause general paralysis and hallucinations."
The almost frozen atmosphere relaxed as the answer was announced.
"I accidentally ate a lot of these mushrooms, so I couldn't move for a whole day. Fortunately, there were no monsters at the time, otherwise my life would have been over." Phoenix wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear. Throwing the psychedelic mushroom in his hand, it just landed on a slender little hand behind him.
"And this..., this..." Phoenix was showing off his knowledge on the side, when he found that Princess Sanwu, who had been silently reading beside him, also came over, and couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated, oh! ! That's right, this is the charm of knowledge.
"Dong----"
A pink shadow fell between Phoenix's legs at the speed of light, making a silent thud. Fortunately, there seemed to be no sound similar to the cracking of eggs.
"Oh oh oh oh oh ----"
Covering his lower body, Phoenix's mouth and eyes formed a big word. It seemed that he still didn't understand who had attacked him. He couldn't be blamed. Princess Sanwu's pace was too fast, and her face was expressionless from beginning to end. , not showing the same proud or panic expression as the criminal.
Then, Princess Sanwu stuffed the mushroom in her hand into Phoenix's mouth. Then a turning kick hit him on the back. The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, a perfect three-part attack. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a petite mage wearing robes could make such agile movements, just like a kung fu girl.
With a grunt, Phoenix swallowed the mushroom in one gulp. He covered his lower body and mechanically raised his head to look at Princess Sanwu, with two lines of clear tears flowing from his eyes.
"I...how...have I offended you?"
It seems that you are quite aware. I looked at Phoenix with pity and pointed three fingers at him, no more and no less. Today alone, you have offended her three times.
With a smile that said "That's it", Phoenix finally closed his eyes and fell down. He was quiet for a while, and suddenly...
"Oh ha..., Oona, don't be like this, I will do it there (moaning), I... I..." Holding a piece of wood, he rolled over and kissed it desperately, and this lasted for five minutes...
"Mom!! Mom!! Don't hit me, I just want to find out why Xiaoli next door looks different from me." She cried bitterly and kept moving her buttocks on the bonfire.
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff----" Lying face to face, the cry of an unknown bird came from his mouth, his hands were like wings, flapping constantly, and his feet were together like tail wings.
In the end, just like the piranhas I caught ashore, they lay on the ground and began tossing around, and the amplitude became weaker and weaker. Finally, their bodies shook a few times, and then there was no movement...
"Is he dead?" I picked up a branch and stabbed Phoenix several times, but nothing happened.
Tick tock, an hour later...
Phoenix, who was motionless, was resurrected with full blood. He suddenly sat up from the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, with a confused look on his face.
"I seem to be having a nightmare."
"That's right, just think of it as a nightmare." I patted his shoulder and said, there are some things that it's better not to know.
Afterwards, Phoenix skewered the processed crocodile meat piece by piece and inserted it next to the bonfire. After a while, a strange fragrance filled the entire tent. The fat but not greasy fat was roasted until butter flowed. It was mixed with the evenly applied spices, exuding a meaty aroma that made people's appetite expand to the extreme.
Is this one of the top three delicacies of Kurast? This hard fight was not unfair, and I tried my best not to reach out to the meat skewers that were not yet cooked. My saliva was drooling. Fortunately, Phoenix automatically planned my weight to be that of a barbarian. Dead Dog and Xiaoxue also prepared some. Even so, they only consumed the Emperor Crocodile. It is only half a forelimb smaller than the ground, which shows how huge it is. It is estimated to be enough for four of us, five wolves and one dog to eat for nearly a week.
"It is said that there is crocodile meat that tastes even better than the Emperor Crocodile..." While drooling like me, Phoenix did not forget to show off his little knowledge.
"Oh, what is it?" Just listen to the awesome name of Emperor Crocodile. I feel that it is already the best among crocodiles, and I am curious about what else can compare with it (it should be said that its strength is comparable to it, it seems that the stronger the crocodile, the better the taste).
"Dragon Crocodile----" Phoenix slowly spit out two words.
Anything with a dragon character glued on it. You'd better not die if you don't have level 60. No wonder Phoenix added the word "legendary" in front of it.
What I didn't notice was that after Phoenix finished speaking, the dead dog, who was drooling while looking at the barbecue like us, flashed a light in his eyes, showing a very human and thoughtful expression.
At this moment, the necklace on his chest suddenly flashed with a brilliant light, and as the light dimmed, a beautiful and moving voice sounded like a melody.
"Wow!! What a smell. It smells so good."
"Ghost, ghost, ghost... ghost!"
Pointing at the sudden appearance of the little ghost with a pale face, Phoenix just sat on the ground, moving his feet and backing up.
"Uh-huh, is this the poor mage you were talking about?"
Seeing that Phoenix looked like he had seen a ghost (which was actually the case), the little ghost held up his hands, showed a holy smile on his face, and said with a soft snort from his nose, but don't be fooled by her current appearance, Please look carefully. Yes, look at her smooth forehead. Is there a vein beating?
Why are all my little ones so scary?
As she said this, her feet floated slightly on the ground, and she flew towards Phoenix who was retreating to the corner. With an extremely holy smile on her face, coupled with the holy radiance on her body, she was as intoxicating as an angel.
"My name is Alice, and it's not that weird. And then..."
"Then..." Phoenix was completely stunned by the little ghost's current appearance. He assumed a pious posture.
"Go to hell."
"Okay...huh?"
The signature saintly smile on her face remained unchanged, but a demonic declaration came out of her cherry lips. Phoenix thought he was hallucinating, but the next moment, he knew it wasn't the case.
With a "boom" sound, a wall of light perfectly ejected him from the tent door. The little ghost is now different from what he used to be. Not only has he reached level 13, he has learned level 2 skills, and he can even perform level 1 exorcism. She was more proficient than her signature healing technique, and she used her small first-level skills in various ways. Even Phoenix, a level 35 wizard, suffered a small loss without noticing.
By the way, the proficiency is all gained from me...
"Xiaoxue, guard the door for me. If that guy dares to come in, you're welcome." The little ghost instructed Xiaoxue. Apart from me, she has been in contact with the summoned objects for the longest time, so she naturally became their favorite. First hostess.
Actually, I want to ask the little ghost, to what extent does "you're welcome" mean? It means eating it, that must be the case.
"Brother Wu Fan, come and help me." Phoenix's screams rang out from outside. He was very aware of Xiaoxue's strength, and even if he had a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to try to break in.
I sighed and walked out, looking at Phoenix who looked pitiful.
"I can ask Xiaoxue to let you in now, but you have to know that if you don't obey the punishment this time and let the other party calm down, maybe the retaliation you will receive next time will be even more terrifying."
"Well, that ghost named Alice, what's her character like?" Phoenix flinched after hearing what I said.
"Honestly, it's scarier than Morissa."
I thought about it for a while and gave the answer. Although Moissa's little revengeful heart is strong and her methods are ruthless, at least she still has the sense of being a kind girl. But the little ghost is different. Everyone except me She doesn't even care. This difference in mentality makes me feel that the little ghost is much more aggressive to strangers than Moissa.
"Ugh, you bastard, why are the women around you scarier than the last?" Phoenix suddenly started to sob, resigned to his fate, and began to look for a nearby tree for a bed, and went to enjoy the miserable cold wind alone.
This is also your fault. Who told you to speak so freely? Why are you calling such a cute little ghost a ghost?
