Seeing that Hei Donkey no longer provokes Lotte, Bu Xiaotian greeted Lotte and said:
"Okay, let's get rid of this wild boar first. I'll go find some firewood later. Let's have roast pork tonight!"
"Okay! I haven't tasted the taste of meat since I entered the snowfield. There is nothing but snow and ice there. Even if I get prey, I can't eat it. I've eaten dry food until I almost turned into dry food!"
Lotte no longer competed with Hei Donkey, and agreed, and then followed Bu Xiaotian to drag the wild boar that Hei Donkey had brought back to the stream, plucked the hair and bled it, removed the internal organs, and cut the wild boar into pieces suitable for baking. piece of meat and take it back to the cave.
After putting all the prepared pork in the cave, the two went up the mountain to find two large bundles of dry branches.
It was next to the snowfield, and there were very few trees. The live branches were too smokey to burn. It took a lot of effort for the two of them to find enough branches.
By the time the two returned to the cave, it was already dark.
The black donkey was standing at the entrance of the cave waiting for the two of them.
Bu Xiaotian walked in front, and when he entered the cave, the black donkey brayed happily.
But when Lotte was about to enter the hole, it twisted its buttocks and walked in front of Lotte, slowly and leisurely. The big donkey's butt was still twisting and turning, as if to express its dissatisfaction.
This black donkey is quite vindictive!
Lotte chuckled and no longer cared about this.
The first priority was to fill his stomach first. He was indeed a little hungry, and remembering the deliciousness of the barbecue, he couldn't help but swallow.
Unexpectedly, this black donkey's hearing was so good that he actually heard the sound of Lotte swallowing. He immediately turned around and glanced at him in horror. He quickly quickened his pace and followed Bu Xiaotian closely, for fear that if he took a step slower, Lotte would suffer. poisonous hand.
After entering the cave, the two set up a bonfire, pierced some pieces of pork with large wooden skewers cut from branches of appropriate thickness, and roasted them.
As for the smoke from the burning branches, it was not a problem at all for the two of them. Lotte summoned a breeze and drove away the smoke in the blink of an eye.
Gradually, the meat on the fire released a hint of fragrance, which made Lotte's mouth full of saliva.
"Gu~"
Before Lotte could swallow the saliva in his mouth, he heard a loud swallowing sound coming from the other side.
Looking at Bu Xiaotian, he saw him shaking his head slightly and glancing at the black donkey next to him who was staring at the barbecue.
"Hey! Didn't think you were a meat eater?"
Lotte looked at the black donkey with a long line of saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth and said in surprise.
Hei Donkey raised his eyelids and glanced at Letian, but ignored him.
But he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes, and Lotte couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Seeing that the barbecue turned golden, Bu Xiaotian took out a few small bottles from the baggage on the side, poured some of the contents out, and sprinkled it on the barbecue. The aroma of the barbecue suddenly became more intense.
"You actually brought so much seasoning?"
Letian looked at Bu Xiaotian's movements and asked in surprise.
"Haha, my fifth senior brother loves to delve into cooking. I often follow him to cook for several senior brothers, so I prepare more when I go out."
Bu Xiaotian slowly turned the barbecue on the rack and explained.
"Oh, I remembered. You told me that your senior brothers all have their own strengths. The second senior brother likes to study pharmacology and has excellent medical skills. The third senior brother is fond of gambling, but he always loses every bet. The fourth senior brother loves Swordsman is an idiot, but the fifth senior brother likes to study cooking.
Cultivation is originally about cultivating one's moral character and downplaying distracting thoughts. Why are you senior fellow practitioners so different from other practitioners? "
Lotte asked curiously.
"My senior brothers said that cultivating one's self and cultivating one's character is certainly a way of practice, but following one's heart and doing things according to one's nature is another way of practice. We at Zi Lei Peak have never advocated forcibly killing one's inner preferences and becoming ruthless. , As long as it’s harmless, there’s nothing wrong with doing things according to your own preferences.”
"Well, it does seem to make sense. My master also said something similar to me. Cultivation is the pursuit of freedom and freedom. As long as you have a clear conscience and don't go down the path of evil demons and heretics."
Lotte said thoughtfully.
"The meat is roasted!"
Bu Xiaotian took off the barbecue from the fire and handed a large piece to Letian.
Lotte took the fragrant barbecue, and without caring about anything else, he took out a knife and cut off a piece, then stuffed it into his mouth before it cooled down, sighing vaguely:
"What a good paint! I'm lying down and yelling at you for a long time, so everyone is yelling at me and poisoning me!"
Bu Xiaotian smiled slightly and threw a bigger piece of barbecue to the black donkey who had been waiting for a long time with his head stretched out. The black donkey stretched out his two front hooves, pulled the barbecue and started to gnaw it. While eating, he let out a burst of satisfaction. Hum.
Bu Xiaotian himself picked up a piece and ate it.
Soon the two of them and one donkey finished the roasted wild boar meat. The roast was quite large. Bu Xiaotian and Letian each ate a piece, and the rest went into the black donkey's belly.
"Hiccup~"
The black donkey finished eating the barbecue and burped with satisfaction.
Seeing Lotte's strange look, she rolled her eyes at him, then lay on the ground with her eyes closed and fell asleep.
Letian shook his head and chuckled, not hating this black donkey with full personality at all.
After cleaning up the leftovers and chatting, the remaining meat was slowly roasted on the fire. The two began to practice amidst the grunts and teeth grinding of the black donkey.
During this period, Bu Xiaotian occasionally opened his eyes, added some firewood to the fire, or turned the roasted meat over.
Accompanied by the uninterrupted snoring of the black donkey, the night passed quietly.
Early the next morning, Bu Xiaotian and Letian packed up their things and left with Hei Donkey.
They did not rush directly south to the South China Sea, but headed east.
There was no special reason, it was just that the black donkey beside Bu Xiaotian was very smart, and he also wanted to get a mount.
Bu Xiaotian's black donkey is not only very smart, but also has an extraordinary physique and can easily withstand the severe cold in the north.
Naturally, the mount Lotte was looking for couldn't be an ordinary livestock. He was going to try his luck on the prairie to the east.
The prairie to the east is extremely vast, and there are many wild beasts that are good at running in it, and there are even monsters with spiritual intelligence, which are many times stronger than ordinary monsters.
Lotte was going to see if he could get a monster beast. If he could get it, he would definitely be majestic when riding it.
At least it's more majestic than some guy riding a donkey.
Don't tell me that this donkey dislikes me very much.
Originally, Bu Xiaotian was riding a black donkey, and Letian wanted to sit on it, but the stubborn donkey didn't want to do anything. As long as Letian dared to get close, it would kick off.
There was no other way, so Letian had no choice but to fly with a jade ruler in the sky, while Bu Xiaotian rode a black donkey and ran wildly below.
After walking for a while, Bu Xiaotian felt that it was not good to let Letian fly alone, so he jumped up, raised his sword and walked side by side with him, letting the black donkey chase the two of them below.
Although the two people flying with the magic weapon in the sky only used less than five points of their strength and could fly eight to nine hundred miles in a day, the black donkey chasing the two people below didn't look like it was very strenuous.
This surprised Letian even more. He didn't expect the donkey to run so fast.
This made him want to get a good mount even more intense. With such a mount, he could save so much trouble!
…
Five days later, the two stopped at the edge of a mountainous area, looking at the endless wilderness in front of them, their eyes full of admiration.
Herds of buffalo, wild horses, wild sheep, and deer lower their heads and gnaw on the knee-deep grass beneath their feet. Jackals, tigers, and leopards hidden in the distance stare motionlessly at the herd, waiting for a single prey to launch a thunderous attack. Attacking, catching their own food, several eagles in the sky kept circling, and occasionally one fell down like lightning, grabbed a hare hidden in the grass, and quickly disappeared into the distant sky...
Savannah, here we come.
It was also boundless as far as the eye could see. The snowfield before was a grim sight, but the grassland in front of them was full of life.
The only thing in common is that whether it is a snowfield or a grassland, there are countless crises hidden in the dark.
This place is located two thousand miles north of Liaozhou City. After the barbarians were defeated, all the remaining survivors were driven deep into the grassland.
In this dangerous environment, the barbarians became more ferocious and dangerous.
"Hmm - Ang -"
Seeing the vast grassland, the black donkey below roared excitedly and ran into the grassland, spreading joy in the grass and startling countless birds and hares hidden in it.
When the herd of animals grazing in the distance heard the roar of the black donkey, they just raised their heads and glanced here, then lowered their heads again and grazed quietly.
Bu Xiaotian and Letian looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Bu Xiaotian shouted to the excited black donkey below:
"gone!"
He took his sword and flew deep into the grassland.
These are all ordinary beasts. The monster beasts that have truly developed intelligence are hiding deep in the grassland, in inaccessible places.
The two flew forward for two more days and found dozens of white dots in the distance.
As he got closer, his little white dots gradually grew larger, turning into tents made of animal skins.
This is already the hinterland of the grassland. I have never heard of anyone living here, so this must be a small barbarian tribe.
They fell far away from the tribe and did not attract the attention of the tribe.
"This should be a barbarian tribe."
Lotte looked in the direction of the tribe and guessed.
"Well, it is said that after the barbarians were defeated, they were driven deep into the grassland. This should be just a small tribe of theirs."
Bu Xiaotian responded.
"I haven't seen the barbarians yet. How about we go and have a look?"
Lotte is eager to give it a try.
"good!"
Bu Xiaotian was also a little curious about the legendary barbarians. He thought that with their cultivation, a small barbarian tribe could not keep them, so he had no objection.
They moved forward quietly in the grass, getting closer and closer to the barbarian tribe. Their colleagues also quietly observed the movements of the barbarian people in the tribe, and were prepared to respond at any time.
The two men moved quietly and would not be easily discovered.
But when they were about three hundred feet away from the tribe, they saw that the curtain of the tent closest to the two people was suddenly opened, and a tall figure walked out, looking steadily in the direction of the two people.
Discovered?
Bu Xiaotian and Letian looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
However, the two of them thought carefully and found no flaws in their stealth.
Maybe it's a coincidence?
The two of them thought this in their hearts, held their breath and stopped, motionless.
"Why--"
The tall barbarian waited for a long time and suddenly shouted to this side:
"Ah Guliguali?"
And walked straight towards this side without any deviation.
Although Bu Xiaotian and Letian didn't understand what he was talking about, they probably guessed what he meant, which was nothing more than asking them who they were or where they came from.
Looking at the barbarian's movements, the two of them were sure that they had indeed been discovered by him at some point.
Now that they were sure to be discovered, the two of them no longer hid, straightened up and walked towards the barbarian openly, but they both held their magic weapons tightly in their hands, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the barbarian at any time.
