Rat King, Zhong Jialei in the kitchen fire cooking, the iron arm has added enough water in the water tank and firewood next to the stove, the ingredients are wild meat in the mountains, wild vegetables, the two division of labor, one person washes vegetables, prepares materials, one person cuts vegetables and cooks, but it is just four people eating and drinking, it is not difficult to do.

The two of them were busy in the kitchen, and after a while, the smell of wine and meat wafted in the house, while Iron Arm was still busy chopping wood outside the house, and he was meticulously working with a sharp axe, only to hear a loud "pop" sound, and the logs were neatly split into several pieces, and the scattered wooden blocks were piled up around him like a hill.

The three of them were busy, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the cottage, it turned out that Marco flew back who had gone out to practice early in the morning, and he saw that Iron Arm was busy chopping wood, and said happily in his heart: "Iron Arm, you are back, where is Jia Lei?"

Iron Arm raised his head and said, "He and the Rat King are cooking in the kitchen, you just came back from practice, right?"

Ma Kefei said: "No, the summoning technique is quite difficult to practice, and the progress is very slow, I can only practice diligently every day, hoping to complete it as soon as possible." ”

Iron Arm said: "The summoning technique is extraordinary, I have seen it in the demon territory before, its power is very amazing, you should spend more effort on cultivation, don't rush it." ”

Marco Fei said: "Yes, yes, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." By the way, you can see Qingfeng, Jingyang, and Yunfeng in Mingcheng this time?"

Tie Jian said: "No, Master Bai said that the three of them went to Yipin Villa, and there was nothing to do in the city these days, so he accompanied Huzi to walk around." ”

Marco Fei said: "So, you still meet the tiger?"

Tie Jian said: "No, that day Jia Lei and I just walked to the foot of the mountain, and we were walking, when Huzi pulled a cart of corn and stopped the two of us, he was just going to Mingcheng to sell corn, so the three of us got together." ”

The two were chatting, and Zhong Jialei's voice came from the kitchen: "You two stop talking, hurry up and eat in the house." ”

Tie Jian said: "Let's go, let's eat." Throwing the axe aside, Marco flew and said, "Let's go." With that, the two walked into the kitchen together.

At this time, the Rat King and Zhong Jialei had put all the dishes, chopsticks, wine and food on the table, and the four of them sat around to eat, Zhong Jialei said while eating: "Rat King, the seeds, seedlings and seedlings of the fruits and vegetables you explained have all been sold, if you want to sow seeds and raise seedlings, you can take action." ”

The Rat King said: "It's so easy, at least you have to reclaim a suitable piece of land, you and Iron Arm will go to find a suitable piece of land to reclaim in the afternoon, remember that the place is not too far away, otherwise it will be inconvenient to take care of." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "This matter is easy to do, our cottage is surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness, and we have as much land as we want." ”

Seeing that the Rat King and Zhong Jialei had been discussing the matter of land reclamation, Ma Kefei said: "So we plan to live here for a long time, didn't everyone still look forward to going to the Spirit Realm before?"

The Rat King said: "Don't worry, with your current strength, you will only be beaten if you go to the Spirit Realm, instead of going there to suffer, it is better to improve your strength here first, and it is not too late to go when your strength is guaranteed." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "That's right, what the Rat King said is very true, I haven't practiced my Hunyuan swordsmanship yet, so I have to wait for the swordsmanship to be mellow, otherwise I don't have much confidence to go to the spiritual realm." ”

Tie Jian said: "It's good if I don't go, let's not worry about eating or drinking here, why bother going to any spiritual realm to fight and kill, it's not worth losing your life if you don't make trouble." ”

The Rat King said: "You guy who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you are still from a demon, why don't you have any blood on your body, is there no such thing as fighting and killing in the demon territory?"

Iron Arm said: "Of course there is, I am not used to those fights before I left the demon territory, look at how good it is now, working during the day and sleeping soundly at night, it is not better than fighting and killing all day." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, as a martial artist should have the courage to face danger and constantly improve their enterprising spirit, honor is always accompanied by danger, if it is just to fill the stomach and sleep well, we don't have to go to the spiritual realm to adventure." ”

The four of them chatted while eating, and the meal was quickly eaten, Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian agreed that they would go to reclaim the wasteland, and Tie Jian and Ma Kefei still had something to do, so the four of them went back to the house to rest, and then went out when they were full of energy.

The four of them rested for nearly an hour, Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian packed up their tools and went to the nearby mountains to reclaim wasteland, the two came to the mountain forest where the wood was cut down before, this place looked much more open after being cut down by the two, Zhong Jialei said: "The terrain here is flat, and there are many fewer trees after the previous felling, let's clear the excess weeds and trees, and we should be able to make a good piece of land." ”

The iron arm beside him said: "Why bother so much, if you want me to say that it is better to burn it out quickly." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "It is fast to burn with fire, but it is easy to ignite and difficult to extinguish fire.

Iron Arm said: "This is indeed a problem, why don't you ask the Rat King, he has a lot of treasures in his hand, maybe there are treasures that can stop the fire." ”

Zhong Jialei pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, if there is really such a treasure, it will save us a lot of effort, I remember that the Rat King is going in the direction of the north, why don't we go to him first and ask him?"

Iron Arm said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go." With that, the two of them headed in the direction of the Rat King.

The two of them walked all the way through the mountains, shouting the name of the Rat King as they walked, but they never got a response, and after walking for about half an hour, Zhong Jialei was tired of walking, he sat on the grass and said: "Rest, this Rat King doesn't know where to go, so let's find it." ”

The iron arm beside him said: "The rat king said that he has something to do, but every day he just sees him come back from hunting some game, this time it shouldn't be that he is competing with wild beasts in the mountains again." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "The ghost knows, with his skills, it is not easy to catch a few wild meats, he hides in the mountains every day for fear of other things." If you want me to say it's better not to look for it, this mountain is very big, let's look for it aimlessly in vain, anyway, he has to go back to the cottage when it's dark, let's simply go back to the cottage and wait for him. ”

Tie Jian said: "It's still early, it's better to rest and continue to look for it, the Rat King won't run too far if he wants to, maybe we can find it again, if you're tired, just rest here, I'll look for it alone." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "No, let's go as soon as possible, I will have the strength to rest for a while." ”

The two rested for a while, Zhong Jialei had strength again, he got up and said: "Iron arm go, let's continue to look for the Rat King, I don't believe I can't find him." As he spoke, he continued his arm towards the mountain.

The two of them were spinning around in the mountains, and suddenly Iron Arm pointed to a forest not far away and said: "Jia Lei, look, the trees in that forest look a little strange, and the trees in other places look luxuriant, why do all the trees there look like they are about to die, and the leaves are about to fall off." ”

Zhong Jialei fixed his eyes and said: "It's really strange, it seems that there must be something strange here, let's hurry over and see what's going on." As he spoke, he stepped forward, followed by Iron Arm.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the strange woods, suddenly the familiar voice of the Rat King came to their ears: "Why don't you two go to reclaim the wasteland, why don't you two come here to do it?"

The two looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a person sitting on the grass in the distance, this person was none other than the rat king they were looking for, Zhong Jialei said: "Rat King, it turns out that you are here, it is easy for us to find, and we are so tired that our legs are about to break." ”

The Rat King said: "What are you looking for this king, what happened in the cottage?"

Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian stepped forward and said: "Where is something happening, just because Tie Jian and I think it is too troublesome to reclaim wasteland, so we came up with a clever trick to burn with fire, but we are afraid that the fire will be too big to control, so I want to ask you if there is a treasure here that can extinguish the fire." ”

The Rat King said: "I see, I have a lot of treasures in my treasure chest, and it is not difficult to find a treasure to extinguish the fire, but now I am a little tired, so let's talk about this matter tomorrow." ”

Zhong Jialei said: "Otherwise, you will look for it, if you have it, if you don't, if you don't, I and Tie Jian will be dead, why wait until tomorrow." ”

The Rat King said: "What are you in a hurry, didn't this king say that he was a little tired, how do you know how much energy it takes to find treasures, just opening the "Shengyuan Pagoda" will consume a lot of spiritual power. ”

Zhong Jialei didn't dare to say anything more when he saw that the rat king was unhappy, but he was somewhat unconvinced, and he secretly said in his heart: "What are you tired of, I think you just sit like this, if you want to say that you are tired, it is me and Tie Jian who are tired, what effort did it take to find you." ”

Zhong Jialei sat sullenly, and the iron arm on the side said: "Rat King, why do the trees in this forest look like they are about to die, what's going on?"

"Sooner or later, they will die because the nutrients in the land have been taken away by other species." ”

Iron Arm was taken aback and said, "Other species? What species are so powerful, why haven't I seen it?" ”

The Rat King said, "Now they are still hiding in the ground and have not come out, but you will be able to see them after a while." ”

Iron Arm said: "It's so mysterious, why is there such a mysterious species here." ”

The Rat King said: "You don't care about this, you will know when they grow." ”

Seeing that the Rat King refused to break it, and the iron arm was helpless, the three of them sat sullenly for a while, and the Rat King said: "You two don't sit all the time, the evening meal has not yet landed, you two go to the nearby mountains to hunt some game, and then go back to the cottage to make a fire and cook early, I don't think it's too early." ”

Seeing the Rat King speak, Zhong Jialei and Tie Jian said, "Okay, then let's go." Saying that, he got up and left, Zhong Jialei walked and muttered quietly: "The Rat King is mysterious today, and he won't say this or that when asked, it doesn't look like him in the past at all." ”

Tie Jian said: "I see that he looks a little tired, and he has also said that he will know for a while, so let's wait patiently for a few days." ”
