Food conquers the world

Not only was it dawn, but they also walked out of the swamp and were now in the woods at the bottom of the valley.

Perhaps because there is less sunlight in the valley, the trees at the bottom of the valley do not feel vigorous. Each tree grows thin and straight, with moss or other companion plants growing on the tree, which looks verdant.

The underside of the tree is covered with rotten leaves, which are soft and soft when stepped on. If you don’t pay attention, you may sink. The shrubs under the tree are low and young, and there are not many distributions. Many rotten leaves are outside the ground.

The road in the woods is more difficult than the swamp, and every now and then the shrubs move, which makes people frightened, fearing that some ferocious beasts will come out of them.Fortunately, they walked for a long time without incident, did not encounter too much danger, and it went smoothly.

At noon, after dinner, Prius looked at the road ahead worriedly, after a moment of silence, he called everyone together, and said solemnly: "The front is the territory of the elves."

Price mentioned it before when he introduced the dangers of the Valley of Death, but there were too many things to say at that time, so he just mentioned it in one stroke and did not elaborate.

There are also legends about elves on the continent of Wilder, saying that they are the spirits of nature, living in the depths of the forest of the world and the bottom of the sea at the end, with a holy and beautiful appearance and a pure and kind heart.

It's hard to say whether there are such legendary creatures on the Wilder Continent, but there are creatures similar to the legendary elves in the Valley of Death.In the notes of the great magician who entered the valley of death, he called them elves.

He didn't describe too much about the great magician of the elves. He only said that they were beautiful, intoxicating like a dream, but extremely dangerous.

"When he wrote about the elves, the magician was full of admiration, so I remember it very clearly, but he only said that they are very dangerous, and did not specifically say how dangerous they are. We have to be careful ourselves." Prince Price said.

Everyone nodded, all with a heavy expression on their faces.

No, with two exceptions.

Cade didn't seem to be listening to what Price was saying at all, and his attention was not on Price, so he couldn't be heavy.

Zou Kai was thinking about what the so-called "beautiful and dangerous" refers to, and his first thought was a fairy who sucked people's vitality, and an affair cost him his life.And judging from the ambiguous description of the great magician, it is really possible. After all, people in this world are not open enough to write the Aventure in the notes passed down to future generations, so they have no choice but to write it down.

Since the great magician admired the elf very much, the elf should be very beautiful, and he might lose his soul at a glance, and he might see this kind of beauty that only exists in legends with his own eyes. It is very possible to have an affair with her.

Thinking of this, Zou Kai felt strangely expectant.

But the facts and his ideas are always quite different.

In the evening, they hunted a white-eared deer, and Dele excitedly said that he would roast it. He also went hunting in the forest when he was young and had experience in roasting white-eared deer.

Zou Kai thought that he had no experience in roasting a whole deer, so he nodded and asked Dele to come.

As a result, within half an hour, Dele said that the roast was done. Zou Kai saw that the surface of the deer was a little mushy, and then looked inside the deer's body, and found that there was still blood dripping.

"How familiar are you?" Zou Kai glanced at the white-eared deer and couldn't help asking.

"Hmm..." Dele thought for a while, then said calmly, "It's fully cooked."

"Then eat, you eat the inside and I eat the outside." Zou Kai said, borrowed a big sword from Pfister, put the whole white-eared deer on the ground, cut it in half, and exposed the bloody ribs inside.

"Isn't that how it was done? My dad's dad did it this way. What's wrong?" Dele also heard the voice of Zou Kai's voice. He muttered a few words, then pointed at the white-eared deer and said : "Okay, Kai, come!"

Zou Kai waved his big sword unceremoniously and divided the whole white-eared deer into small pieces, and then put it directly on the big sword to start roasting. While roasting, he also smeared some grass juice on the meat. Summarized several magical plants that can be used as spices.

This one baked for two hours.

Zou Kai has only grilled before, and has no experience with these meat pieces that are bigger than thighs, so he follows his own feeling to grasp the heat.He is quite experienced in the aspect of fire. The surface of the white-eared venison that was baked in the end was bright red, and oil was bubbling from the "chi chi", which made people appetite at first glance, and because of the magic plant he smeared, it was still delicious. Smell an attractive aroma without eating.

But they haven't eaten yet, the smell of meat first attracted a group of beasts.

It was a group of wolves that were all red and half the height of a man. There were only a dozen of them, but they had fierce eyes. Staring at them was like staring at a plate of sumptuous dinner.

"Fire wolf." Prince Prius, who was surrounded and protected by everyone, quickly explained, "There is fire on the paws, and it is larger in size. It is no different from ordinary wolves in other parts."

Pfister nodded and said, "Understood."

Then he was the first to draw back the big sword on the fire, and slashed at the head wolf.

With a wave of Pfister's great sword, Maier's ice pick followed. Under the guidance of Cade these days, Maier's spells have made great progress. range of wind and snow.

Although the fire wolf was huge, its reflexes were extremely quick. The alpha wolf jumped obliquely, avoiding the sword light and the ice pick, and glared at a few people, but cautiously did not step forward.

The wolf didn't come over, and Pfister didn't go up rashly. He confronted the wolf leader for a moment, thrust his sword into the ground, and fixed his eyes on the wolf leader. If there was any substance in that gaze, the wolf leader took a step back.

Seeing the wolves retreating, Maier immediately took a step forward, and chanted spells at the head wolf again.After all, Maier was too young and inexperienced in combat. He took a step forward and just landed on the pounce of the wolves. Before Pfister could say "Come back!", a wolf beside him had already pounced on Maier.

The fiery red limbs were huge and strong, and the bright red tongue and sharp canine teeth were exposed from the gaping wolf mouth. Maier was so frightened by the sudden pounce that he couldn't even finish his spell, and his feet were fixed in place, completely forgetting to move.

Pfister swung his sword forward vigorously, Sekende and others also rushed over, but none of them was as fast as Cade. The moment the wolf pounced on Maier, Cade had already made a move, and a strong air current engulfed him. The wind and snow swept away the huge red waves in mid-air, and the other fire wolves who were affected by the ice and snow airflow were also forced to take a few steps back, and they were so slow that they were directly overturned to the ground.

Melton was safe for a while, he was still frightened, and sighed first: "It's amazing..."

Before he finished sighing, Zou Kai hooked Maier's shoulder with one hand and dragged him all the way. Maier was pulled unpreparedly, and his center of gravity fell directly on Zou Kai, and he was dragged away without any resistance.

"Wait, Kai, what are you doing, I'm going to fight—"

Zou Kai let go of him, and Maier's shouting suddenly stopped, and he stared blankly at Zou Kai, suddenly at a loss.Zou Kai's face was a little pale at this time, his lips were tense, and his eyes were a little scary.

"What did you say you were going to do?" Zou Kai put down Maier and stared at him, "Going to fight?"

"No, I won't go." Maier was taken aback by Zou Kai, and quickly waved his hand.

The wolves who were blown away by Caide's storm all climbed up, looked at Caide with apprehension, and lingered for a moment unwillingly, probably because they felt that their strength was too great to grab food from Caide's hands, so they had to retreat one after another.

As soon as the wolves left, the swordsmen who had been confronting the wolves on the periphery breathed a sigh of relief. Zou Kai glanced at them and said, "Now that the wolves are all gone, do you want to catch up?"

"Do not……"

"Aren't you very capable? What are you afraid of when you hit ten? It's not just a few wolves, you just wave your hand, right?" Zou Kai looked at Maier, "We all rely on you to cross the valley of death, you What are you afraid of? If you chase the wolf back, we can have an extra meal at night, so go!"

Maier was at a loss by what Zou Kai said, almost crying, but the blood of a young man did not allow him to cry, so he could only hold his breath, and after a long time, he said a few words: "I was wrong, I'm sorry .”

When he said these words, Maier was ready to continue being ridiculed, he knew that he was wrong just now.After he improved his spells in the past few days, he became a little carried away. If it wasn't for Cade's quick reaction just now, he would have been bitten off by that wolf.Zou Kai knew that he was worried about him, although his way of worrying about people was a bit special.

Although he is still a teenager and has a big temper, he can also feel the kindness of others.

And what would Teacher Kai say? "You're wrong, what's wrong with you? Why didn't I know?" or "I'm sorry, how dare I ask you to apologize?".

However, Zou Kai didn't say anything. When he heard Maier's apology, he sighed, patted Maier's head, and softened his tone: "Be careful next time, don't think that someone will save you every time."

"I, I got it!" Maier almost cried again, shocked and moved by Zou Kai's rare tenderness.

Seeing that Zou Kai had finished training the children, Prince Prius immediately greeted him with a smile: "Let's eat, it's alright for Xiao Er, don't get angry with the children."

Maier has said more than once that he is no longer a child, but now that these words come from Prince Prius, he has no way to refute them.

The white-eared deer was roasted bright red and oily, which was very different from what Dele had roasted before.In order to ease the atmosphere, Dele said with admiration: "It's just different from what we do. You can cook so many tricks in a single roast. Young man, you have a bright future."

"It's okay." When it came to cooking, Zou Kai immediately changed to another person, and talked freely, "The roast is not good enough, the skin is not crispy enough, you burnt the skin just now, it can't be remedied, the taste is too bad, But after all, it is the first time, and we will improve in the future!"

Hearing that Dele was holding a piece of white-eared deer ribs, he turned his back to Zou Kai and ate silently—he deeply realized that it was a mistake for him to say that to enliven the atmosphere!

After eating and drinking enough, the few of them simply cleaned up and fell asleep on the spot.

Today is Zou Kai's watch in the middle of the night. At first they were a few experienced swordsmen on watch. Later, Zou Kai felt that it was inappropriate. Because Ster was injured, the three of them had to stay up all day and all night. They were too tired. The wounded and children must keep vigil, and several people agreed.

They walked into the woods now, and it was not easy for the moonlight to shine in the Valley of Death. At this time, it was covered by the leaves, and there was no light at all.The Valley of Death was dark and damp, and there was no dry dead wood to be found, but Cade left a fire in the middle of their camp, and by the light of the fire, they could barely see the surroundings.

It was a little cold at night, Zou Kai moved towards the flames, and while roasting the fire, he thought about the feasibility of restoring various dishes in this world, using thinking to resist the chill and drowsiness.

During the long night, Zou Kai had countless dishes in his mind. When he thought that preserved vegetables and braised pork were delicious, but there were no pickled vegetables in this world, it was a bad review. He suddenly heard a faint singing voice.

It seemed to be a woman's voice, singing incomprehensible lyrics with a gentle and sweet voice, with a melodious tune, which made people feel creepy in this silent night, but also made people feel relaxed and comfortable for some reason.

Zou Kai looked in the direction where the sound came from, and found a green light glowing there.The little green light between the trees is erratic like a firefly, appearing and disappearing from time to time.

Zou Kai stared at the green light, and couldn't help listening to the singing seriously, wanting to hear it more clearly, but the green light was gradually getting bigger.

It got closer to him.
