5. Food
The search for food continued, but unfortunately they were busy until the temperature rose in the middle of the day, and they still couldn't find anything comparable to the tree fruit.
"Let's find a place to rest." Izumi wiped the sweat from his forehead, after being busy for so long, everyone was probably hungry.
Today's route has been down the river, so at noon rest, the spring was chosen in a hidden position by a small stream, this creek is the fork of the big river, the water outlet is blocked by a large number of rocks and shrubs, the location is relatively remote, the stream will only be ankle high, and there are rocky shoals everywhere, and there are only a few small fish about a finger wide in the stream, and they are not favored by wild animals.
Izumi chose a shallow beach that was hidden and did not shine in the sun, and arranged for the elves to collect firewood, while he took tools from his backpack and prepared the barbecue.
The source of the meat is naturally the deer who lost his life unfortunately, this deer is bigger than Quan, and the hundred catties of meat on his body are completely enough for them to eat, that is, Yiquan's current size is very troublesome to clean up this heavier prey than him, fortunately, he still has a helper - the nanny insect not only can make clothes, but also is an expert at peeling skin, and the skin on the dead deer will be peeled off in three or two strokes, and then the prey will be separated from the flesh and bone with a flying leaf knife, and cut into a suitable size, no more than 30 minutes before and after.
The peeled skin was taken away by the nanny, and it looked like it was going to be disposed of and made into clothes.
The useless scraps were wrapped in leaves and buried in a pit, and most of the cut meat was marinated and waiting to be grilled, and some of the rest was stewed with the bones.
There are only a few seasonings in the Izumi backpack, and the taste will be a little bland when you grill the meat, but they found a lot of fruits today, and it is not bad to study to make delicious fruity barbecue, and they also found mushrooms and bamboo shoots, which are good ingredients for stewed soup.
After the first piece of barbecue was roasted, Izumi tasted some by himself, and the taste was okay, and he gave some to the happy eggs: "How is it?" Is this okay? ”
"Hi Pi? Hi Pi. After tasting the happy egg, he said that it could barely replenish energy, but it didn't like the taste of meat very much.
As a happy egg who has lived and grown up with humans since childhood, he has always preferred elf food made of tree fruits in terms of food taste, and rarely touches meat, so he is also a vegetarian.
Quan breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good if there was a supplement, if there was not much energy, he would eat more, as long as it was delicious, I believe everyone would be happy, as for how to improve the taste, it was the goal he had to work towards.
Soon, the fragrant barbecue and broth were served on the table, and Izumi took some Pokémon food from his bag - at a third of the usual amount, with the barbecue broth, it should be enough.
When they saw the food, the elves' eyes lit up, and they started eating before they poured down the food without saying a word.
"Shala?" Compared with other friends who forgot about themselves when they saw the food, Shanaiduo carefully noticed that the food prepared by Izumi was for eight people.
"Well, although it was taken by accident, but now it's a partner, of course you have to call it for dinner." Izumi took out the Poké Ball containing the "Flash Wind Speed Dog" from his bag.
Although the alliance stipulates that the number of pokemon that trainers carry with them cannot exceed six, it does not mean that they cannot have more pokemon, but there is a special program in the Pokemon balls owned by trainers, and only the pokemon in the hands of trainers exceed six, and the extra ones will be locked in the Pokemon and cannot come out.
But breeders don't have that kind of rule.
As experts in cultivating and taking care of pokemon, breeders have a large number of pokemon around them to take care of at any time, so they are not limited by the rules of the alliance like trainers, just like Izumi Although there are six pokemon, but after they exceed this number, they will subdue the pokemon, and the pokemon will not be locked in the Pokeball and cannot come out.
However, the Poké Balls used by Izumi when he caught the "Glitter Elf" before were bought by the Doctor, and these Poke Balls have not yet opened the Master Recognition Program, which means that this Poke Ball is not bound to Izumi as its owner, so even if the Pokemon inside is subdued by him, its initial loyalty is not against Izumi.
So if you release it, Izumi may be attacked, which is also what Shanaido is worried about.
Izumi himself knows this, he has bred a lot of elves, especially the elves in the institute that are tamed by trainers are mostly fierce elves suitable for participating in the league competition, and they suffered a lot when they first took care of it, but later, a large group of helpers around him are not to be seen.
"Don't be nervous, you see it can't even beat the wind speed dog, there are so many of us, it's okay."
"Shala." Yes, it will protect him.
Izumi throws the Pork Ball out.
The newly subdued creature had a similar appearance to the Wind Speed Dog, with its golden fur glistening in the sun, so the name Impotent Izumi decided to call it Flash.
When the flash appeared, he wanted to attack the spring as Shanaido was worried, but after the wind speed dog let out a roar to intimidate it, the flash immediately quieted down, and then walked towards the wind speed dog with graceful steps, and began to circle around it, making a flattering bark from time to time, and the flattering wind speed dog was completely stunned.
"Poof" Izumi, who understood what was going on, smiled unkindly: "It seems that the charm of the wind speed dog is big enough to fascinate it." ”
The other elves laughed too.
With this one, the atmosphere suddenly changed a lot better, Izumi let the wind speed dog eat with flash, for the barbecue and broth, the flash table xiàn is very interested, but unfortunately its cat tongue can't eat hot at all, so it can only wait for the meat to cool slowly.
Maybe it's because it's pitiful to see it holding the meat on its head, and Wind Speed Dog can't stand it and pushes the food box containing the magical pet food in front of the flash.
The small cylindrical particles in the food box similar to assorted meat pieces look ordinary, and they don't smell much, and the flash sniffed, in fact, I don't like it in my heart, but this is pushed to it by the wind speed dog, how can it eat it!
When you open your mouth and swallow the grains, the incomparably wonderful delicacy makes the whole glitter melt, how can there be such a delicacy in this world? It felt like it was about to fly.
"Like it? This is the smell that Wind Speed Dog likes, so I think you will like it too. Izumi asked.
"Meow~Meow~Meow~~" Flash's cry at this time is as cute as a house cat.
Flash couldn't stop at all after eating Pokémon food, and it didn't remember any meat at this time, and after eating its own portion, it snatched the share of the monarch snake next to it, and the monarch snake who was robbed of the food was full of the word "well" in his head and angrily brushed the sense of saving zài.
Before the two sides fought, Izumi hurriedly took out another compensation to the Monarch Snake.
In the end, he ate his share of barbecue and broth, and the flash lay on the ground with a round belly, and the attributes of foodies were clear at a glance.
And Izumi began to worry again, there were originally more elves in their team who ate a lot, and now there is another foodie, and the food storage is even more worrying.
After lunch and a short rest, Izumi was ready to set off again.
With the addition of a new partner, the journey has become a lot smoother, as the aboriginal Flash's familiarity with the forest is not comparable to theirs, although Flash refuses to let the spring mount - the elf next to the spring will not agree to replace it - but it is no problem to let it lead the way, as for the problem of communication, it is left to the wind speed dog.
Although Flash doesn't really want to deal with Izumi, a human who has made him lose his freedom (although the food is really delicious and nutritious), he is willing to be taken care of by Wind Dog, so no matter what Wind Dog asks him, he will answer meekly.
According to Flash, this forest is indeed beyond imagination, like where they are now, in fact, it is already considered the periphery of the forest, there are no too powerful creatures, and you can often meet humans who enter the forest.
It's just that Izumi and they are not very lucky, and they have never met each other.
So at their previous pace, they would only need to walk for two more days before they could leave the forest.
By the way, the flash has been emphasizing that it is not one of those "not powerful creatures" on the edge, and the place where it originally lived was a forest closer to the center, but some time ago there was a withered tree in the area where it lived that was struck by lightning and caused a forest fire, although it was quickly extinguished by the rain, but it still burned a lot of places, including the territory of the flash, and there will be no prey there for a short time, so after that, it wandered around looking for a new territory, but before finding a suitable new territory, It ran into Izumi and the others.
Of course, Izumi wasn't the only human being Flash's recent activities were close to the outskirts of the forest, so he had encountered several waves of people before and after.
It's just that it doesn't like those two-legged creatures very much, the taste is not good and it's too noisy, every time I see it, I make a fuss and always want to catch it, but a few of those people are not weak enough to hurt it, and after a few losses, it will stay away when it encounters humans again.
Look, isn't it just getting caught because it didn't dodge?
However, this human cub will be able to eat well, and there is his sweetheart by his side, which is barely a bad thing.
When Izumi heard that there were others, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked him to help lead the way, and Flash was not very happy at first, but then Wind Speed Dog also spoke, and he immediately agreed.
