For a long time, until the sounds outside disappeared and it became quiet again, Jiang Cheng turned around and looked outside through the light of the bonfire.
I saw many branches falling dozens of meters away, the largest one even half a meter in diameter.
But those things were violently destroyed and splattered everywhere.
"What the hell is this?!"
Jiang Cheng was frightened. He remembered that the trees nearby were not small, and the smallest ones were one or two meters in diameter.
However, those trees exploded so easily.
It's hard to imagine how powerful the two warring parties are.
Because he was not sure whether the sinister thing had left, he did not dare to put away the bonfire, but let it burn.
This green-quality bonfire has an evil-proof fire that can drive away evil spirits.
Although it might attract wild beasts or other people, Jiang Cheng would rather face wild beasts or other humans than encounter the same kind of things before.
He didn't dare to move rashly, because the bonfire couldn't be moved while keeping it lit. If he encountered those two monsters along the way, he would be dead.
Taking this opportunity, he simply opened the panel of the campfire and looked at the cooking options. With a thought, he chose to cook barbecue.
The wolf meat collected before was actually not much, only about twenty pieces, one piece weighed a pound, of which twenty pieces were pork belly and three pieces of tenderloin.
After all, the giant wolf was skinny. Although it looked huge, it actually didn't have much meat.
In addition, the products collected in this way are all high-quality, and the salt in the residual blood is collected together, leaving the dross, so it is already very powerful to get more than 20 pieces.
Because the cooking functions are performed directly on the panel, everything is silent.
It cooks a piece in just a minute.
After all the meat was cooked, Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, then took out a piece, turned around and handed it to Tong Xiaorou: "This is wolf meat. It has just been roasted and is a bit hot. Share it. Save some now for when we find it." More food will make you full.”
"Meat..." Tong Xiaorou's breathing suddenly became rapid. She hesitated and looked at Jiang Cheng. Seeing Jiang Cheng's soft eyes, she was moved to take it.
"Routou..." Yaya also opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking longingly.
Such a big piece is almost enough for them to eat!
The barbecue was strange, with no aroma coming out.
Tong Xiaorou didn't think much, gave half of it to Yaya, and then couldn't wait to take a bite.
The next moment, her eyes suddenly widened.
"Uh-huh..." Yaya was the same. After taking a bite, she couldn't stop.
Jiang Cheng looked puzzled and took out a piece to eat. When he took a bite, he was also shocked.
"Nah, this is too fragrant. Is this still barbecue?"
It's salty, very crispy and tender, and a little juicy. It doesn't look like Laolang's pork at all.
It seems that all the aroma is absorbed into the barbecue, so you can't smell it from the outside at all.
In fact, he was mentally prepared to swallow it if it didn't taste good.
But I didn't expect this barbecue to be so delicious.
"Is it because of the green quality of the bonfire?"
Jiang Cheng was thoughtful, then ate a large portion of the food.
Opposite me, Tong Xiaorou burst into tears again. She couldn't even remember the last time she ate meat.
Maybe three years ago?
Or maybe it was four years ago and I completely forgot about the smell of meat.
At this moment, eating this kind of barbecue that even Jiang Cheng found delicious, I felt so satisfied and happy that I was moved to tears.
"It's delicious...it's delicious..." The same goes for Yaya. The little girl has hardly eaten meat since she was born. When she ate this kind of food for the first time, she was so excited that she almost buried herself in the barbecue.
"Eat slowly, there will be more in the future."
Jiang Cheng looked at the two girls who were moved to tears and smiled, but he didn't slow down and finished a pound of barbecue in just a few big mouthfuls.
It was really delicious and he wanted to eat it, but he held back because he didn't know if he would be able to find food later.
Gotta save some.
But the barbecue is delicious, but it makes you thirsty after eating it.
At this time, he thought of the water bag he had obtained in exchange for the remains of the giant wolf corpse. He took it out and shook it, and found that there was indeed water in it.
He opened the stopper, hesitated for a moment, then put it to his nose and smelled it. Unexpectedly, he found that it smelled like wood.
"Is it the sap of some kind of tree?"
That should be drinkable.
Jiang Cheng was still worried that it was some kind of strange liquid.
As for whether it will be poisonous?
In today's time of extreme water shortage, only those who are truly desperate would poison the water they have worked so hard to obtain.
And poisons are very rare these days.
"But I won't drink more than half a catty at most. I have to save more."
Ignoring Tong Xiaorou and Yaya's longing eyes, Jiang Cheng put it away again and said to the two girls: "This water can only be drunk at a critical moment, unless we can find the water source."
It's night now, and although I feel thirsty and uncomfortable, at least I won't die.
During the day or when you are on the road, this little water is life-saving.
"Yeah." Tong Xiaorou was very sensible and didn't look at it again.
Although the six-year-old Yaya was sensible, she couldn't help but continue to stare at him.
The longing look in his eyes made Jiang Cheng feel a little shaken.
But he knew the importance and ignored the longing look in his eyes, saying: "You continue to sleep, I will go out and take a look."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the tree hole with a long knife.
He wanted to master the skills and see if he could improve his strength through collection.
Originally, he was a little swollen after becoming an evolver, but the monster before made him wake up.
This world is far more dangerous than he imagined. Without strong strength, there is no way to feel at ease.
Because of the bonfire lighting, everything within a ten-meter radius was bright and it didn't look dark at all.
After coming outside, we could vaguely see several large trees in the distance. Only their tall stumps were left, and their crowns had disappeared.
Apparently the two monsters from before were fighting in the air.
Jiang Cheng first looked around cautiously, and only after making sure that nothing was approaching, he started to practice his sword.
He didn't know much about sword skills, so he only practiced chopping and chopping from different angles.
Either change your hands to chop, or hold the knife with both hands to chop. Use whatever force is best for you to chop.
In the tree hole, after eating the barbecue, Tong Xiaorou felt the long-lost feeling of fullness, and couldn't help but cry silently while hugging Yaya.
"Sister, I'll... give it to you..." Yaya hesitated for a moment and handed over the barbecue with only one bite left.
"No, Yaya eat, sister is full, Yaya be good, Yaya eat by yourself." Tong Xiaorou whispered, hugging Yaya and laughing and crying. She couldn't remember the last time she could eat so full. And you can still eat all you want with such fragrant barbecue.
Although she was still in a famine environment and dangers were everywhere, thinking about Jiang Cheng's changed attitude, she felt at ease for the first time in her heart. It seemed that as long as Jiang Cheng was there, she could get through no matter how difficult the situation was.
Outside, in front of the campfire.
Jiang Cheng used his sword again and again and practiced it tirelessly.
His way of drawing out the sword was completely unstructured, he just drew out the sword as easily as he could, over and over again.
I don't know how long it has passed, but the sky has become slightly brighter, and the pervasive cold atmosphere seems to have begun to ebb.
Jiang Cheng was already sweating profusely, and after practicing his sword skills for a while, he felt like his body was dehydrated, so he stopped.
After taking a short rest, he was about to collect some materials before it was completely dark, when suddenly his ears twitched slightly.
He vaguely seemed to hear voices, and there seemed to be firelight in the distance. His face suddenly changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Get up, someone is coming, we have to leave immediately!"
Tong Xiaorou and Yaya, who had just fallen asleep in the tree hole, were awakened.
Jiang Cheng put away the bonfire with a wave of his hand, and the tree immediately fell into darkness.
Just at this time, Tong Xiaorou climbed out holding Yaya.
Jiang Cheng put away the long knife, took Yaya, pulled Tong Xiaorou and left quickly in the opposite direction to the voice.
Not long after the three left, a group of people holding torches, swords, or rifles rushed over.
"It's right in front. There was so much noise last night..."
A group of people approached quickly, and they turned out to be people from the Yumu Camp.
Finally, when they got closer, using the light of dozens of torches, they saw the messy ground and broken giant trees.
"Hiss, this is damage that can only be caused by at least a third-level, maybe even fourth-level or above evolver?!"
"You may not be able to do it even at the fourth level. It needs at least the fifth level. Did you see it? There are no traces of fighting on the ground. They are all in the sky. Only the tree crowns exploded."
"Fifth level..."
Many people gasped.
"Huh?" Suddenly a man came forward and inspected a fallen branch: "Scorching marks? Hiss, it's so cold! This mark... could it be the cold fire ghost girl?!"
"Cold fire ghost girl?!!"
Everyone around looked at each other, suddenly stopped talking, turned around and left the place quickly.
Although some people discovered the hole under the nearby giant tree, no one paid much attention to it because if there were people inside, the people inside would not survive.
Because there are traces of the cold-fire ghost girl here.
…
The sky was already getting slightly brighter, and the road could barely be seen clearly in the woods.
Jiang Cheng hugged Yaya and ran with Tong Xiaorou, running several thousand meters before stopping.
He glanced behind him: "They probably haven't caught up, but we can't stop. The Elm Camp is going to kill them all. We have to leave this area."
"Yeah, yeah, it's all up to you." Tong Xiaorou said hurriedly.
She didn't have any opinions to begin with, but now Jiang Cheng's attitude towards her has changed for the better, and she completely trusts Jiang Cheng, and she will go wherever Jiang Cheng goes.
Jiang Cheng nodded, took out his long knife to clear the way, and continued walking forward.
After walking about three or four kilometers, the three of them just rounded a giant tree when they suddenly saw three men walking from the side.
Among the three people, the leading man was holding a steel knife, and the other two were holding wooden spears. They were all stunned when they saw Jiang Cheng and the others.
But then, a green light appeared in the eyes of the three people.
