Chapter 11: Essential Skills for Expeditions
Li Xin'er was a little moved in her heart, and couldn't help but secretly think: "In a month's time, I didn't expect him to actually complete this task, and the quota for going to Qiangongfang with me this time has already been set and cannot be easily changed." Li Xin'er actually agreed with Chen Xin at this moment. But when the words came to his mouth: "Reluctantly, this is just the first task given to you, being a housekeeper, it's not so easy, you still have a lot to learn," After finishing speaking, he handed over the account book to Cailian for safekeeping.
Chen Xin smiled indifferently and nodded, he had already guessed this result, and what he was doing now was to repay Li Xin'er for a meal.
"Bang!", a loud noise rang out around the camp, and everyone stood up in fright and put on alert.
Unexpectedly, it was the girl from Qiangongfang who made a loud noise, and he carried a green-maned pig and threw it on the ground. The green-maned pig is a first-class demon beast, Chen Xin has seen it from the demon beast spectrum, so he knows it. The green-maned pig underground has long been out of breath, the fatal wound is on the head, it is obviously a fatal blow, looking at the girl, her face has not changed, there is no trace of a fight on her body, Chen Xin's pupils shrank, and he sighed secretly, "Master!"
The green-maned pig is a kind of pig demon, the body is covered with sharp barbs, there are two one-meter-long fangs on the pig's mouth, emitting cold light, two meters long, strong limbs, much more difficult than ordinary first-class demon beasts, the knife can not be broken, some outer disciples in the house, often suffer losses under its hands, this girl hunted the meaning of the green-maned pig, Chen Xin also understood, immediately stepped forward and took out the dagger in his arms, this dagger was exchanged for half of his contribution.
Chen Xin lifted his sleeves and was about to pull out the peeling, and the dagger stabbed fiercely at the chest of the green-maned pig, but the pigskin was not damaged at all, but Chen Xin's dagger had a gap in the tip of the dagger, and Chen Xin was distressed, "I didn't expect that this cold light dagger with iron like mud is so undurable." Seeing this, the girl sneered, pulled out the dagger inlaid with lapis lazuli around her waist and threw it to Chen Xin.
Chen Xin took it with his hand, pulled out the scabbard, only to see a flash of red light, the dagger body of this dagger was actually red, and there was a scorching meaning, this scorching meaning directly ironed this Chen Xin's palm, almost made him throw it on the ground, Chen Xin grasped the dagger, no longer hesitated, his wrist exerted force, and the knife pierced into the chest of the green-maned pig, like cutting tofu, and successfully cut the pigskin completely.
This series of smooth operations dazzled the eyes of all the guards, and they couldn't help but wonder if Chen Xin was a butcher before, and the pigskin of this level of demon beast green-maned pig can be used as treasure armor, Chen Xin guessed that this girl must not be able to look at it.
Chen Xin put the pig's teeth and pigskin into the bag, asked everyone to set up the cauldron, boiled the pig's heart, pig's liver and pig's intestines, and filled the hollowed-out internal organs with spices.
An hour later, Chen Xin stood up, raised the roast pig in his hand with difficulty, and said loudly: "Okay,"
The girl couldn't wait, walked past Chen Xin with some eagerness, snatched the roast pig over, rudely ripped off the pork leg, and enjoyed this meal, the male messenger of Qiangongfang, looking at such a delicious taste, his eyes were about to move, his steps moved, and his palm unconsciously stretched out to the other pork leg, and at the moment he touched the pork leg, the girl looked at him with a vicious look, he was so frightened that his hair rose up, so he had to sit back in place.
As if afraid that someone would rob it, the whole pig slice was eaten by the girl in an instant, leaving a piece of bones. Chen Xin was amazed in his heart at the strength of the girl, especially outstanding in front of food.
Seeing the girl wipe her mouth, Chen Xin picked up the dagger on the ground and prepared to return it to the girl, he was surprised to find that the dagger was not glued to the slightest dust, not even some blood, it can be seen that this dagger is also a treasure.
"Your dagger," Chen Xin said, handing the dagger to the girl.
"I've sent you, this month, you help me barbecue, this is your reward," the girl said indifferently, and entered the tent without looking back, leaving only Chen Xin, who was stunned on the spot.
"Senior sister!" the male envoy of Qiangongfang exclaimed, his eyes were red and he stared at the dagger in Chen Xin's hand, his eyes were full of jealousy, Chen Xin came back to his senses, smiled at him, and hurriedly put the dagger into his arms, Chen Xin was sure that this male messenger did not dare to snatch his things at will in front of this girl.
"Hmph, it's just a waste that can't be cultivated, it's a tyrannical thing" The male envoy flicked his sleeves angrily, and then walked into his tent, Li Xin'er on the side looked like nothing changed, with her background, she went to Qiangongfang, I was afraid that such a treasure would be sent to the door.
There was nothing to do all night, the early morning sun, through the leaves, mottled sprinkled to the mountains where the sun never sets, the mountains were humid, in the morning, Chen Xin boiled the broth, waiting for everyone to eat, after everyone drank the soup, there was also a trace of warmth on the body, packed up the luggage, ready to go, close to the center of the mountain range where the sun never sets, the more dangerous it is, I really don't know how long they can live such a relaxed day.
The two leading guards, holding machetes, opened the way for everyone, the road at this time was already full of thorns, not suitable for riding in a carriage, Li Xin'er and others also walked all the way, Chen Xin still followed Li Xin'er, protected by everyone in the middle, the temperature difference between day and night in the mountains where the sun never sets, just a moment's effort, the temperature between heaven and earth began to rise, Chen Xin and the guards were sweating.
On the other hand, Li Xin'er and the three of them, their faces are not red, they are not panting, and their posture is as elegant as a mountain walk, this is the gap in cultivation, after everyone walked out of this thorn, they began to divide into teams, scattered in all directions, ready to find some medicinal herbs, this trip, the cost is very great, although it is for the secret treasure that appears in the mountain range, but some other spiritual herbs can not be let go, if you are lucky, find some second-level elixir, even if you have no chance with the secret treasure, then this trip is not in vain.
Everyone was divided into three groups, the male envoy of Qiangongfang and Li Xin'er formed a team, with two guards, the girl of Qiangongfang took Chen Xin, and another guard, and among the remaining seven guards, two of them were the leaders of the guards, and their cultivation was not bad, and the team formed was enough to protect themselves.
The three squads set off in three directions, and searched for ten kilometers nearby, the distance was not far, and it was more convenient to take care of each other, Chen Xin was very relieved of his team, not because of himself, but because of this girl, who was the highest cultivation among all people.
"Haven't you consulted the envoy's name yet?" Chen Xin asked.
"My name is Meng Huanran, you two can just call me by my name, my monk, don't care about so much red tape," Chen Xin felt comfortable in his heart, observing yesterday, he knew that this Meng Huanran was a cheerful-minded monk with a big personality, and he didn't care about the subtleties at all, he had a very good impression of Meng Huanran.
"I'm Chen Xin, he's Li Yi, and they're all guards in Miss Xin'er's mansion, so we'll call you Miss Meng,"
"Miss Meng, have you ever been to this mountain range before, why did we walk for an hour and not see a single elixir," Chen Xin asked with some curiosity.
