Ancient wasteland

Chapter 87 Fish Scales

Jing Que and Zhuang got along happily, and the three of them walked along the road to the tribe of Zhuang in the south. After Zhuang transformed into a beast, he swam very fast in the air.

It is no exaggeration to say that he can travel thousands of miles a day. If he ran with his own legs, Jing Que would definitely be left behind very quickly. Fortunately, he took him with him.

Zhuang, who was leading the way, deliberately slowed down and waited for them while walking. The overall speed was still very fast, and he had just left the tribe for less than two days.

The snowflakes dancing in the air gradually became smaller and smaller, and the snow on the ground naturally became thinner and thinner, until the snowflakes stopped falling.

Turquoise began to appear on the ground, and forests, trees, flowers, birds and beasts began to appear in their field of vision.

Finally, Jing Que didn't have to sit on the wild back to meditate and resist the cold. He lifted off the thick and heavy animal skin and breathed the air freely.

Stretching in the warm sunshine, "I'm so happy, it's like being stuck in the house throughout the cold season, and the temperature starts to rise in the water season to bask in the sun.

My whole body is warm, and the contrast with the icy and snowy feeling just now is too obvious. I really want to live in this climate forever. "

Ye hovered in mid-air, and slowly landed on the grass below, "Rest here first, I'll go hunting and collect firewood."

Jing Que ran to follow him, "I'll go with you."

The two walked into the forest together, and Jing Que took local materials, pulled two vines and twisted them into ropes, tied up the firewood picked up on the road, packed them and carried them on his back.

Walk forward carefully with a wooden stick, for fear that the noise will scare away the prey, and when there is enough firewood for barbecue, tie it up and pile it up.

He began to look around to see if there were any wild vegetables. Unexpectedly, he was really lucky. This forest had just had a light rain, the air was humid and the temperature was suitable, and a large area of ​​mushroom bushes grew.

Jing Que plucked a handful of deep thatch on the ground, and strung the mushrooms he picked up on the roots of the thatch. The woods were densely packed with various mushrooms, so he picked the lighter-colored ones he knew.

Those that looked bright red and looked like poisonous mushrooms stayed where they were and did not dare to pick them, fearing that they would not be able to eat them. Don't wait to pick the poisonous ones back, because they will be poisoned after eating.

Even if he had the universal antidote, he didn't want to waste it at this time, and the medicine would not expire in his space.

There are many kinds of mushrooms, and Jing Qu picked up mushrooms very quickly, and quickly covered all the thatch that had just been pulled out, enough for them to eat.

Tie the thatch to the firewood, and walk lightly towards Ye, who has already found the prey, which is a sika deer with long horns.

The deer had no sense of crisis at all, and was gnawing on the leaves leisurely. Jing Que quickly held his breath when he saw Ye Wanbow nodding his arrow.

So as not to disturb the prey and wait for no lunch, but obviously he was a little worried, and at the same time as he took a deep breath, Ye let go of his hand.

The arrow that left the bowstring was like a shooting star and pierced deeply into the sika deer's neck. Jing Que saw a bloody hole in the deer's neck.

The arrow was protruding from the other side of the neck, and before the sika deer could even struggle, it fell to the ground without moving.

Jing Que, "..." You shouldn't judge Ye's behavior based on his strength!

Ye walked towards him carrying the deer, and carried the firewood he had picked up on his back, "Let's go, are you hungry?"

Jing Qu smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, I'm not too hungry, the temperature here is just right, there are many mushrooms growing in the forest, and I picked up a lot of clothes.

Later, let's find a stone pot and boil some broth to drink. The mushroom soup tastes very delicious. I'm going to get angry after eating barbecue these two days. "

They followed Zhuang Tong all the way south, and there were outsiders in the team, so the pots and pans stored in the Jingzhu space could not be used.

Just pretending to get some powdered salt out of my pocket for roasting meat.

In the icy and snowy land they just passed, there was no pot, and they couldn't even drink hot water. They were so thirsty that they rubbed snow balls to eat.

At the beginning, Jing Que was still very interested and ate the snow balls as ice cream cubes. After three days passed, he was no longer as curious as he was at the beginning.

Seeing the snow balls makes me feel cold all over, I don’t want to look at them at all, let alone eat them, I just want to make a stone pot out of my heart.

It's good to make some broth to satisfy his cravings. He doesn't want to eat barbecue anymore.

Ye nodded, after cleaning the prey, he found a stone and began to polish the stone pot.

Jing Que piled up all the firewood he picked up from the forest, and prepared to light a fire for cooking. Not long after, Zhuang came towards them with a skewer of fish.

Seeing Ye holding a stone and polishing it, he was a little puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Jing Que was holding the firewood in his hand, watching the flames burn slowly, "I want to drink broth, so I want Ye to make a stone pot and bring it with me."

Zhuang hesitated a little, "If you just want to boil water and make broth, you don't need to work hard to polish the stone pot. I'll use this for you."

As he spoke, he took off a piece of white fish scale from his body, and handed it to Jing Que, "This is what I usually use to boil water, and it is relatively light and easy to carry."

Jing Que looked at the fingernail-sized fish scales in front of him, feeling a little puzzled, and smiled awkwardly, "...is this a little small?"

Zhuang smiled lightly. He smiled beautifully, like a breeze blowing on his face, making people feel refreshed. He bent slightly and put the scales in front of Jing He.

The fingernail-sized scales grew in the wind after leaving Zhuang's hands, and became the size of a frying pan.

Jing Que was dumbfounded, "...how could it grow up?!"

Why did this world suddenly become fantasy? What about wild infrastructure farming? !

Zhuang Man's face was taken for granted, when he looked at Jing Que, there was some rare and strange disgust written in his eyes, "You have seen my beast form before.

These are the scales on my animal body. They were supposed to be this size. When I transformed into a human form, I shrunk them down and used them as clothes. "

Jing Zhuo, "..."

I was actually despised and disgusted by a primitive man, oh no, a primitive orc.

How to do? !Online waiting, very urgent!

He coughed lightly and reached out to pick up the fish scales on the ground.

The entire scale is irregular oval, silvery white, about half a meter in diameter, with very sharp edges, which can be used as a knife, and the middle part is about 10cm deep, which can be used as a pot to boil water and make soup.

And as Zhuang said, the scales are very light and thin, which are lighter than ceramic pots and iron pots of the same size. Jing Yu can't even feel the weight of the scales, and he won't feel tired anytime, anywhere. It's really easy to carry .

He jumped up from the ground with the fish scales in his hand, walked up to Ye with a smile, "Ye, look at this pot, it is thinner than those used in our tribe.

It can be used to cook soup and meat, you don't need to polish the stone pot anymore!We will use this pot to cook in the future. "

Ye looked at the fish scale in his hand, "Okay, I'll fetch water."

Jing Yu nodded, "Okay!"

Happily holding the fish scales on the fire, it should be said that they are indeed the scales of the Beastmaster level orcs, the flames can't leave traces on them at all.

The thermal conductivity is still very good. Jing Zhu took the cut and marinated venison, put it in the scales and started frying. As the temperature rose, the meat slices made a "squeaky" sound, and the fragrance slowly wafted out.

Jing Que turned over the meat slices with a wooden stick, and raised his head to talk to Zhuang, "Can your scales be enlarged and reduced anytime and anywhere, or do you need some conditions to do so?"

Zhuang sat down next to him, "This is my scale. Only when it is placed on my body can it change in size as I change between animal and human forms. Now that the scale is in your hands, it can only maintain this size and cannot change. "

Jing Que was a little disappointed, "Oh, like this, I thought I could make it bigger and smaller in my hands at any time like magic.

But this is pretty good. I have used many pots for cooking before, but I have never used fish scales to make soup. Do you drink fish soup?

After frying these meat slices, use this scale pot to boil some fish soup, as well as the mushrooms I just picked. I brought seasonings with me this time. "

He flipped through the slices of meat happily, and talked to Zhuang with a smile, "That's right, your tribe relies on the sea, so you mainly use sea fish and seashells to make mistakes.

Then what seasonings do you use in your daily life? I think you will like the ginger and garlic produced by our tribe, which can remove the fishy smell.

Well, I guess you don’t understand just by telling you, I’ll make a pot of fish soup later, after you drink it, you’ll know that ginger and garlic are both good things, very good. "

Zhuang looked at him seriously, "OK."

Jing Qu turned over the meat slices in the pot quickly with his hands and feet, and Ye quickly returned the water. Jing Que handed over the work of turning the meat to Ye, and wiped his hands and sat down.

I took out the parchment map from my pocket and began to supplement the map. I was still in the snowy area just now. When I was resting, Jing Que was cold and his limbs were stiff. I put aside the map drawing in advance. It will be very easy to move around. Naturally Make up the map that you have traveled before.

While drawing a map with a quill, Zhuang looked at him sideways, "What is this?"

While recording on the map, Jing Qu raised his hand casually, "This is a quill pen, which can be used to write and draw pictures."

Poke the parchment map in front of him again, "This map is made of parchment, parchment is a kind of paper, it is easy to make.

So I made some. Don’t you already have writing in your tribe? Parchment quills can be used to write. Do you need it?

As long as the price can be negotiated, I can sell all these things to you! "

Zhuang's blue eyes stared at him earnestly, "I've never seen someone like you who always makes me willingly pick up pearls and coins."

Jing Que, "...why do these words sound so strange to me?!

Hey, it's not me who made you want to put the bead coin, it's what I made, obviously it's your wish, I'll sell you all kinds of novelty things.

That thing is good, if you like it, you must give me the pearl coin!Why are you saying that you are spending money for me!I'm a serious businessman! "

Zhuang looked at him suspiciously, "What is a businessman?"

Jing Qu showed a smirk, closed the parchment in his hand, "It's nothing, eat!"

The fish scale pot is very thin and has good thermal conductivity. It is very suitable for eating while frying meat around the pot. The meat slices coated with chili sauce are spicy, refreshing and full of flavor.

They quickly roasted the whole deer and ate it. They washed the scale pot and started to boil fish soup. Jing Que first fried the fish slightly before adding water to the pot.

I threw some sliced ​​ginger into the soup pot to remove the fishy smell, and when the fish pond in the pot was boiled to milky white, I gave Zhuang Sheng a bowl in a wooden bowl that I had just peeled.

Handed it to Zhuang, "Here, try drinking it first, and see if it's different from your tribe's fish soup."

By the way, he filled bowls for himself and Ye, held the wooden bowl and began to drink soup, Zhuang held the fish soup and drank it slowly, and he noticed it as soon as he took a sip.

Compared with the fish soup of their tribe, this bowl of fish soup does not have the taste that is very similar to the sea, but it is more delicious and delicious.

He frowned slightly, looked at Jing Zhu, "Is this the effect of ginger slices?"

Jing Que blew on the fish soup in the bowl, "Well! Do you want to buy it! Ginger can not only remove the fishy smell, but also drive away the cold and dampness. The seaside is very humid.

Really, your tribe must need these, and we have other seasonings in our tribe... Oh, we can't wait until the cold season is over now.

Our tribe will plant a large amount of seasoning, if you need it, you can find me. "

Zhuang nodded thoughtfully, "Okay."

Jing Que was very satisfied, and drank the fish soup with relish.

Zhuang sent him an extremely useful fish-scale pot, and Cheng Jingyu cooked for Zhuang later, and he didn't hesitate to bring the chili sauce.

After all, reciprocity is the right way to get along, and let's wait for Zhuang to get used to their tribe's seasoning... Hehe, if you want to eat again in the future, you have to change it with him!

Zhuang is a Beastman at the Beastmaster level!

After these few days of getting along, Jing Que has a general understanding of the four super tribes, and there are beast kings in every city.

It is because of the deterrence of the beast king that they can develop rapidly and gradually develop into a super tribe. Every super tribe has a beast king, and there is only one.

After the death of a Beastmaster in Heishui City, no Beastmaster-level orcs appeared. They were suppressed by Baidi City and Wujin City all these years, and they almost couldn't breathe.

The city lord of Heishui had no choice but to marry his younger sister to the Caiyun Tribe, so as to form an alliance with the Caiyun Tribe, which slightly stabilized the situation where the four super tribes were juxtaposed.

It wasn't until Zhuang advanced to become the Beastmaster in the North Pole that their tribe truly returned to the super tribe sequence. If Zhuang was really shot to death by their tribe's poisonous arrows, the Blackwater tribe would become enemies with them.

And it's a big enemy... After all, without Zhuang, the Beastmaster, the Blackwater Tribe would fall out of the Super Tribe completely.

Thinking about it, I was a little scared. Zhuang said that he had sent a message to the tribe when he left the North Pole. If he really died near their tribe, the Blackwater tribe would probably not let them go. Jing Yu didn’t think they could fight the super tribe now !

Fortunately, they saved Zhuang and proposed to play with Zhuang in the Blackwater Tribe. As the only Beastmaster in Blackwater City, Zhuang's status can be imagined.

Jing Que wanted to make a deal with Heishui City, all he needed was to attract Zhuang's attention.

They went all the way to the south. Jing and Zhuang chatted when they had nothing to do. They got along very well. Zhuang would even talk to Ye about the orc cultivation. After five days of sailing, on the morning of the sixth day, they finally arrived at the Blackwater tribe. .

Jing Que had already taken off the animal fur sweater, and was wearing a linen vest. He sat on the back of the field and watched the city wall gradually appear in front of them. with light.

There is a sense of shock when watching an adventure movie and seeing the towering ancient city wall.

He stroked the hair on Ye's back and smiled softly, "It's amazing, I have a hunch that we can bring a lot of good things back from here."

Zhuang floated beside him, showing off a little in his usually cold tone, "Jing, what do you think of our tribe?"

Jing Zhuo, "..."

It's just a small broken city with half stone and half wood, what can it do.

He smiled politely, "Well, it's not bad."
