Food conquers the world

Chapter 26 The Valley of Death

After dinner, Maier was rushed by Zou Kai to wash the dishes, and the three of them slept on the ground by the roadside all night. As soon as it was dawn the next day, the small shopkeeper's camp began to be lively.The shopkeepers who were on their way got up in twos and threes, packed up the pots and pans from last night, and started on the road again.

Zou Kai and Maier sat in the car, ate a piece of bread, listened to the old wilderness tune that the salesman sang, and happily started another day's journey.

This walk lasted half a day, and the team of shopkeepers who had set off at different times in the morning had been scattered so far that Zou Kai couldn't see a carriage pulling goods when he looked back and forth.At noon, the shopkeeper parked the carriage on the side of the road, took out the pot and started cooking.

He first added a pot of water to the pot, then found out the flour, looked at the flour for a long time, and ran over to ask Zou Kai: "How do you make the things you made last night? They are quite delicious."

Zou Kai directly took the flour and the basin, demonstrated it to him, and then told him how to put the various condiments, and told him not to put other things.

The shopkeeper said he understood, and he fiddled with it again. He was satisfied with what he made, and then he was ready to go on the road again.

Walking faster in the afternoon, the shopkeeper said to Zou Kai while driving the carriage: "There is a small town ahead after walking for half a day, and there will be a place to rest there."

Zou Kai nodded to show that he understood, and he asked again: "Is there anything to eat in that town?"

The salesman smiled and said, "There is bread!"

It's like how delicious and tempting bread is.

In fact, what he wanted to ask was if there were any special dishes, but when he thought that a city as big as Shatie only sold bread, and the shopkeeper said so, Zou Kai gave up asking.

"There are quite a lot of things sold in the small town." The shopkeeper said, "It's a small town next to the entrance of Death Valley, and there are quite a lot of people coming and going, and there are also many shops selling staffs and swords."

Zou Kai questioned: "Valley of Death?"

He knows the forest of the world, and now there is a valley of death, what is this place?What is the connection with World Forest?

Zou Kai turned to look at Maier, and found that Maier's face was also confused, so he asked the shopkeeper, "Where is that place?"

"Although the Valley of Death is not as famous as the Forest of the World and the Sea at the End, many people regard these three places as places where there is no return."

The shopkeeper said slowly: "The forest of the world and the sea at the end are famous because they are at the end of the Wilder continent. It is unknown where they will be after crossing them, but the Valley of Death is not. A canyon in the middle of the mainland is full of monsters, and the environment is dangerous. According to legend, the giant dragon on the mount of the only god, Wilder, lives in the valley of death."

Speaking of this, the old peddler who had passed his forty years sighed: "The Valley of Death got its name because of this. People named it Death, which means that you can't enter, and if you enter, you will never return. But there are still countless young people. The reckless young people went in, and we never saw them again on the Wilder Continent."

Maier could hear goosebumps all over his body: "It's so scary, go to the forest of the world, at least you can come back without going inside."

"The Valley of Death is where adventurers don't want to come out once they enter." Huo Sen said, and then he seemed to think of something, and changed his words, "No, someone came out. It is said that there was once a person who practiced magic and sword skills at the same time. He successfully passed through the Valley of Death, at that time he was the number one expert on the Wilder Continent, and rumors of the presence of giant dragons in the Valley of Death began from then on.”

"Strong?" Zou Kai raised his eyebrows, "How strong is it?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while about the hero's deeds, but found that he couldn't find a specific example, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know, but everyone said that he is very strong, so he should be very strong, at least he can use magic." .”

"Will you be powerful if you know magic?" Zou Kai asked.

"That's right!" said the shopkeeper, "at least most people don't."

"I can also do magic!" Maier shouted at this time, he learned a few small magic in Suge, but he didn't dare to show it in a big city like Shatiecheng, and now he started to show off.

Maier clasped his hands together, palms facing each other, and said something in his mouth, he suddenly pushed forward, and a large piece of rain cloth in front of him suddenly burst into flames.

"My goods!" The salesman screamed, and quickly stopped the carriage to start rescue.

"Ah? Ah? Ah? Ah?" Maier was also a little flustered.

"Quickly use the water-producing magic you learned." Zou Kai said calmly in the face of danger.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!" Maier responded quickly, doing movements and chanting spells in a hurry. Because he was too flustered, he made a mistake the first time, and only after the second time did a stream of water extinguish the flame.

At any rate, the fire was extinguished, and Maier was so frightened that he slumped on the carriage covered in cold sweat. The shopkeeper also breathed a sigh of relief, and began to teach Maier: "Children don't know how to use magic, so don't use it indiscriminately. What if it burns! I am A whole load of goods!"

At this time, the worry about his own goods had overshadowed the respect for the magician, and the salesman began to criticize Maier.

The shopkeeper scolded Maier, and Zou Kai was fanning the flames. The three of them kept arguing, letting the horse pull the cart forward. After walking for a while, the shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed, signaling them to be quiet.

Zou Kai and Maier, who had no experience in running goods, looked at the salesman inexplicably, but they also calmed down and looked in the direction of the salesman's line of sight.

At this time, they had come to a village. The village was next to the road. Logically speaking, the village next to the main road should be very lively. After all, they could do business with pedestrians coming and going, but now this village was eerily quiet.

The experienced shopkeeper stopped the carriage and looked outside the village for a while. He often walked this way and also met people in the village. At this moment, he was a little worried about the people in the village.But even so, it was useless for him to get off the carriage. The situation is unknown now, so easily jumping off the carriage may delay the opportunity to escape and cut off his own way of life.

After looking at it twice, the shopkeeper felt that the village was strangely quiet, and there was nothing abnormal in other aspects, so he turned to Zou Kai and Maier and said, "You are here..."

"Save——ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The sudden screams rang in their ears, and the three of them immediately turned their heads to look, only to see a swordsman in armor rolling out from behind a house, His whole body was in flames and he was struggling in pain.

The fire burned without source and root, as if the knight's body was burning by itself.

Zou Kai was startled, and immediately wanted to use the water spells he learned to save the swordsman, but before he started chanting the spells, the swordsman had already lost his voice, and his body quickly turned into coke, leaving only one body Armor shell.

This was Zou Kai's first time facing death directly. He was stunned for a long time before he realized that the swordsman's armor had a sword drawn on it. He knew it was a symbol of the royal family, and he had only seen this dressed swordsman yesterday. It's Prince Price's bodyguard outfit!

The prince's guard died here, what about the prince?

Zou Kai was still thinking, and a man in black robe slowly walked out from behind the house where the swordsman rolled out. This man was obviously a mage, but his mage's cloak was pitch black, so it was impossible to tell where he came from.

When the sorcerer just walked out, the salesman tensed up, and immediately drove the carriage to run wildly. He knew that this place was very dangerous. He saw a murder, and these people would definitely not let him go.

He has also seen the badge of the royal family, and knows that the swordsman is a member of the royal family. In addition, the king just died suddenly, and the prince appeared in Sand Iron City a few days ago. Even a small character like him can imagine what happened.Someone must be trying to seize the throne, so someone was sent out on the road to intercept the orthodox heir to the throne, Prince Prius.

As soon as the carriage took two steps, a red light suddenly cut out from the angle, brushed past the horse's head, and would hit the horse with a slight difference.This always docile horse raised its hooves high and neighed. The experience of brushing shoulders with death made it completely forget about its master, and only cared about running wildly.

In a panic, Zou Kai turned his head to look at the direction where the sword qi slashed out just now. A person had already come out from there. It was a swordsman.

Zou Kai's pupils shrank, and he held the carriage tightly with one hand to prevent himself from falling out of the carriage. With the other hand, he took out a low-quality staff from the cart full of groceries, and spoke very quickly the spell Mrs. Huo Sen taught him.

After chanting the spell in a moment, Zou Kai raised his hand and pointed at the air with his staff, and a huge ice condensed in the air quickly, completely blocking the blow.But compared to the huge gap in strength between the two, the red light easily cut Bing Ling in half, and the remaining sword light still fell towards them.

Fortunately, this horse seems to be very sensitive to dangerous things by nature. When the sword qi slashed, it changed its direction abruptly, jumped from left to right, and the sword slash only hit the corner of the truck. Some goods fell out of the gap, and the old peddler immediately yelled heartbroken: "My goods!"

"Don't worry about that." Zou Kai concentrated on watching the movement of the carriage coming back. It was the first time he encountered a life-threatening situation, and he was forced to gather his energy before he had time to fear, because there were only two choices in front of him: life or death. .

The horse was frightened and ran extremely fast, and instead of going on the right path, it ran into the field. Zou Kai looked behind for a long time, and after making sure that the two men did not catch up, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the shopkeeper: "It should be fine."

The horse's galloping has been approaching calm, and the salesman seems to have not heard Zou Kai's words at all, and turned to find something to fill the gap on the train, wailing heartbrokenly: "My goods!"

"You've got your life back, what else do you want? Your goods are worth more than your life?" Zou Kai was tired of hearing this, and couldn't help but sneer.

The salesman glared at him: "How can you understand my mood!"

"Well, I don't understand, you keep on crying, but where are we now?"

The shopkeeper was also taken aback, raised his head from the truck full of goods, and looked around blankly.The surrounding terrain is flat and covered with weeds. It was vaguely a field in the past, but was abandoned by people later, and weeds have grown all over the field.

The weeds grow luxuriantly, and there are traces of being overwhelmed in some places, as if someone walked here not long ago, and the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and there are two mountains that close the wilderness like a funnel.

The shopkeeper stopped the carriage, looked around the wilderness, pondered for a moment and said, "Why do I feel... I have been here before?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind rang out, and for a moment two people appeared one behind the other, surrounding them. The one in front was a swordsman, holding the giant sword in his hand, looking at the three people on the carriage , Shen Sheng asked: "Who are you?"
