Sword and Magic and Taxi

Even better than one dog watching the door is two dogs. Although he was still in the forest, with nothing but leaves underneath him, Zhao Mai slept extremely peacefully and sweetly. He even dreamed of his own warm home, with a comfortable and close-fitting mattress and fluffy pillows.

When I opened my eyes, the bonfire was almost extinguished, leaving only dots of red, glowing brightly and dimly with the morning breeze, as if breathing rhythmically. Not far away came the cheerful cry of Reserve Food, which was dragging some prey with dog meat. Zhao Mai sat up and took a look, with a smile on his face. It was a tortoise, as big as a basin. Its two legs were bitten by Dogrou, so it couldn't run at all. It could only shrink its head and let Dogrou drag it towards the camp.

Zhao Mai drew out his dagger and ran over, stabbing it through the gap in the turtle shell, ending the tortoise's life. On the earth, many tortoises are protected animals, and they are docile, do not hurt people, and do not mess around. They are very popular among everyone. Only in this fantasy world, in order to fill his stomach and survive, Zhao Mai would hunt and kill this kind of animal.

The law of the jungle is not the whole world, but it does exist. The dwarf's headless body was still on the side. He was completely naked and there was nothing left. Only survival is the first priority, and protecting yourself is never child's play. Therefore, Zhao Mai has no psychological burden at all about setting a trap to ambush the dwarf, nor does he have any psychological burden at all about the dwarf's body becoming food for bugs.

It was impossible for Zhao Mai, who only had a dagger and an ax, to open the hard shell of the tortoise. At least he had to have a hammer and a saw to do it. However, it’s not impossible to cook it with a hard shell, it will be a little wasteful at most. Find enough firewood, use your shield as a shovel, dig a shallow pit larger than the tortoise, then make a fire and throw the tortoise into it.

This is equivalent to the combination of Teppanyaki and Beggar's Chicken, and it is the simplest cooking method. Zhao Mai took this time to put on his armor and prepare things by category, trying to put every tool in a convenient place. Among the trophies, what Zhao Mai likes the most is a loop of rope, which is light but tough, more than 20 meters long, and is now hanging on his waist.

This dwarf is not an experienced adventurer, which can be seen from the things he prepared. If they had enough funds and weight-bearing capacity, Zhao Mai and his friends would like to put everything in their backpacks to avoid encountering unsolvable problems. The dwarf is not like this. He brings some stuff here and there, which can only be used to sell them for money, but he lacks tools.

After sorting out the equipment, Zhao Mai used his hand ax to cut a thick and long branch into a short spear. When necessary, it could be used as a javelin to attack the enemy by throwing it. By the time all this was done, the tortoise was almost done roasting. The original hard shell is charred black and will break into pieces if hit hard. Zhao Mai used a branch to drag the large black thing out of the fire, then wiped the ax and cut out the opening with force.

The meat of the tortoise is a bit hard, but very fragrant, and the surrounding dining environment adds a wild flavor to the dish. Zhao Mai sat cross-legged on the ground, first sprinkled some salt, and then, just like dealing with roast duck, he continued to slice the meat down with the ax, and stuffed a piece into his mouth, followed by reserve grain and dog meat. The two dogs and one of them, with no one making a sound except for the dog, ate a delicious meal.

After eating enough dog meat, Zhao Mai finally allowed Zhao Mai to touch its head, but he couldn't do it more than three times and would still hide. Only his owner Carl can rub the dog's head without restriction. Among the four irons in life, they are related to each other because they have been trained by the ranger Carl; carrying a gun together is a bit reluctant, but Dogrou should also be ready to attack the dwarf, but he didn't expect Zhao Mai to move so quickly and didn't wait for it to appear. The battle is over; there is absolutely no problem in dividing the spoils together, and the brilliant gem pendant is still pressed under it; together... uh... Zhao Mai thought for a while, let's forget about this one.

Recently, I have always regarded these animals as intelligent beings like myself. This trend is understandable, but it still seems a bit strange. Zhao Mai thought about it and decided that he should enter the civilized world as soon as possible and interact with more people. Although Reserve Food is loyal and cute, it can't change its aesthetic point of view, right?

After eating and drinking, it was time to part ways. The ceremony was very simple. Dogrou licked the reserve food vigorously, and then sniffed its butt with his nose to say goodbye. It held the gem pendant in its mouth and entered the jungle without looking back. Reserve Liang raised his nose and sniffed the air vigorously for a long time, then turned around, rubbed Zhao Mai's calf with his feet, and motioned for him to hug him.

It wasn't until he was carried on his shoulders that the mood of the food reserve improved, and the little tail began to wag again. Zhao Mai just took it through the dense woods and returned to the shore of Ash Lake.

His car was still parked in the same place, but the branches covering it had slipped to the ground for some reason. I looked around and saw that there was not even a trace of dust on the car, let alone mud stains. What did the old angel say at that time, This car is indestructible, has its own system, and is not affected by the outside world?

This is not bad, it saves you the trouble of cleaning up the camouflage. Zhao Mai was sitting behind the steering wheel, reserve food spinning around in the passenger seat, sniffing around. Zhao Mai stared at his puppy and suddenly started the car with a wicked smile. He felt extremely happy when he saw Reserve Liang being startled by the engine and screaming nervously.

Drive south along the lakeshore and follow the directions on the map to reach the town of Nebo. Since there are no roads along the way, there are constant troubles along the way. The hard cobblestones are easier to walk on, as long as you are careful to avoid large rocks, you will be fine. However, there are many places where there is soft mud. Even if it does not reach the level of swamp mud pits, it is very likely that the car will get stuck, so these places must be avoided.

Zhao Mai often stops the car and chops down some bushes with an ax to leave a path for the car. He also sets aside two hours every day to collect food to ensure that he and the dog have enough food and drink reserves. In fact, Zhao Mai really wanted to know whether the water in the car's water tank could be drank, but he was afraid of damaging the running status of the car, so he put the experiment on hold.

Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to drink water, Ash Lake is a lake full of life, with a rich variety of fish and birds. Zhao Mai tried to spear fish with a short wooden spear, but he really didn't have much talent, wasted a lot of energy, and couldn't catch anything. However, the food reserve found some bird eggs in the thatch by the lake, which were the best food.

With cars, nights are much safer. As long as the car door is closed, even if the sky falls apart, the people and dogs sleeping inside will not be hurt. The carriage has air conditioning, music and soft seats that serve as beds. Reserve Liang likes to lie down on the passenger seat like a big furry ball.

Before going to bed every day, Zhao Mai would dig a shallow pit by the lake, draw water from the rivers and lakes, and then use sharpened branches to make a fence. The tips of the branches are facing the direction of the shallow pit. The fish will not feel the danger when swimming in, but will be stung if it wants to get out. These stings will not damage the fish's scales, but will prevent the fish from leaving the shallow hole. Zhao Mai was looking for some ants, earthworms and the like to use as bait. When he got up in the morning, he could find greedy and trapped fish in the puddle.

All that is needed is to build a dam with soil to block the exit of the shallow pit, and then all that remains is salvage. He is not picky about food when he reserves food, and he is no different from a cat when he eats grilled fish. It ate as much as Zhao Mai gave it, and it was very well-behaved.

This is the most agreeable dog in the world, bar none.
