Chapter 34: Oasis Picnic
Listening to Kester's words, Lofa sighed sincerely: "Your family is really good, you can get such a high-level magical beast for your young junior, and there is bird language to inherit (Kester's heart: it is actually the inheritance of the wing royal family). Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoI don't know how it compares to the Nangong family. ”
"Ahem, cough, cough..."In order to hide his embarrassment, Kester diverted the topic, "Is Brother Nangong a descendant of a big family?" ”
"I don't know the specifics, but there was a time when we were on a mission and had a conflict with the members of the Council of Elders of the Flower Elves. At that time, it was about to cause bloodshed, but after Nangong's father intervened, the other party was directly dumbfounded. ”
"Isn't the Flower Elf the most peaceful branch of the Elven Race?" He Lilan interjected and asked.
"Actually, they're just a bunch of old stubborns, let me tell you..."
Not to mention that Lofa was nagging on the side, at noon, the group finally succeeded in bypassing the crack, it can only be said that the power of nature is incomparable, looking at the ravine hundreds of meters deep in front of him, Nangong Ying was secretly glad that the three of Kester joined: "Such a wide crack, I'm afraid there was an earthquake here, right?" ”
"There used to be an underground river down here." Kester guessed.
"Compared to the earthquake and the underground river, Nangong, don't you think you should have a meal?" Lofa had been hungry for a long time.
"The oasis is still more than ten kilometers away, and we should be able to reach it in an hour and a half at our speed." Nangong Ying thought about it in her heart, "I have been on the road for seven or eight days in a row before, so it's better to rest in the oasis for one night, and it's not too late to spend two more days rushing to Lyle City on an errand." ”
"Okay, then let's start the meal first," Nangong Ying was not ambiguous after making a decision in his heart, he announced loudly, "After the meal, we will spend two hours rushing to the oasis, and then stay there for one night first." ”
"Oh, Nangong, I love you to death!" Lofa cheered.
"I'm not here with you..."
In short, under the temptation of "rest ahead", the mercenaries were excited. In fact, after having a meal, without waiting for Nangong Ying to urge, everyone was full of energy and marched towards the oasis.
"Woohoo!" Silver Wing, which had a rare opportunity to be fed, flew down on Kester's left shoulder.
"Brother Nangong, climbing over the low rocky mountain in front of you is the goal." Kester gestured to the spot where the giant cactus was directly ahead.
"Everyone, work hard!" Hearing the news, Nangong Ying was also excited, "It's almost there." ”
However, Nangong Ying, who was attracted by the oasis in front of him, didn't know that in the cracks they had passed through before, black qi was slowly condensing.
"This is what you call an oasis?" Looking at the pool of water in front of him, which was no more than a mile long and wide, Lofa jumped off the cactus that was six or seven meters high with a disappointed face.
"It's good to have that big." Nangong Ying was satisfied, he took the lead and walked down, "Let's camp first, let's add some fresh water, let's spend it here tonight, it's much better than the Gobi Desert where there is nothing." ”
The sun has long since turned west, and the sun is not so dazzling. Around the small lake, the mercenaries were surveying the terrain.
"Hell, there's nothing here but the El Tree?" Looking at the drought-tolerant trees in front of him, Lofa couldn't raise his interest at all, he knew that the fire element of this plant was extremely concentrated, but it was almost useless except for being used as firewood.
"At least now there's wood for us to make a barbecue." The other mercenary on the side was not so disappointed.
"There's a fish over here!" He Ling'er's complexion was much better than yesterday, she washed her face by the water, and screamed excitedly.
"Haha, anyway, the camp is set up, why don't we all fish together, and I'll cook grilled fish for dinner!" Nangong Ying patted his chest and said.
"Nangong, you're going to cook? Now you're in for a treat! The loss on Lofa's face was swept away, and it took him a minute to make a fishing rod from the branches of the El Tree, "My fishing skills are pretty good. ”
"Captain Nangong's cooking skills are very good?" Kester asked in surprise.
"It's so good!" Although it was not yet time to eat, Lofa's saliva was already flowing.
"Brother Yun, you should learn." He Ling'er squeezed her eyes at Kester.
"Ahem, I'm not doing well, but it's not that bad, right?" Kester looked at He Lilan with some embarrassment, "Lilan, you help me evaluate the theory." ”
"If you tell the truth," He Lilan said seriously, "it's very bad. ”
Luofa and Nangong Ying: "Poof..."
An hour later...
"Damn, is this really a fish?" Lofa's complaining energy was about to explode, "It's been an hour and I haven't even touched the hook, why will I hide when I throw the harpoon, since when have the fish been so smart?" ”
"Is it bait or is it wrong?" Looking at the fishing rod that had changed different baits three times and still didn't move, Kester smiled bitterly, "I've tried meat, vegetables and insects, this fish is too picky, right?" ”
"Aren't they still cacti-eating?" Lofa threw another fish bone, and the fish in the water flashed nimbly, and flicked its tail at Lofa as if to laugh at his poor accuracy.
"Eating cactus? That's a real heavy taste..."Kester chuckled, and casually rolled up a small half of the cactus with a silver whip and threw it into the water, but he felt his palm sink and a strong force came from the whip.
"I'll it, I'm really eating cacti!" Lofa's mood was broken at the moment, and a fish monster more than a meter long was dragged ashore by Kester, still holding the cactus at the end of Kester's whip in its mouth.
Monster Introduction: Saury, a second-order water monster, a fish unique to the oasis area, with unknown habits (Lofa: Love to eat cactus!) )。
Looking at this second-order fish monster that would not let go, the mercenaries looked at each other and put down the fishing rods in their hands.
"Don't look at me like that, I'll just do that," Kester spread his hands, a little confused.
"Brother Ye really has you, dinner has been settled!" Nangong Ying laughed and patted Kester's shoulder.
Although it was a little early, the mercenaries still started the barbecue meal that everyone dreamed of very efficiently. Killing fish, killing fish, this saury must weigh hundreds of pounds; The branches of the El tree are difficult to ignite, but they can burn for a long time.
I have to say that Nangong Ying is indeed a good man who can fight and retreat at home, with first-class knife work, precise fire, and the use of seasonings in one go, which dazzles Kester.
Soon, pieces of freshly grilled fish with bright colors and aromas are baked.
