After a few days of walking in the desert, the vast expanse of sand dunes was replaced by a moor strewn with wind-etched boulders, the occasional tall cactus and scorched black locust with scorched foliage on the cracked ground and stones.

Shao Zongyan was not interested in the black locust, but he didn't want to let go of the cactus. He had seen an introduction to this type of plant on TV, and he was even more impressed by one of them, called aloe vera, which could be sold for dozens of dollars when made into aloe vera gel. Of course, the cactus in front of me, which is taller than a person, is not aloe vera, but its fat body must also be full of water and gelatin...... Is it better to eat fried or mixed up?

Thinking casually, he walked towards the tallest cactus, picked up his knife and slashed a □□. □□ landed, an exclamation from the elf suddenly came from behind him: "Be careful! Poisonous scorpions—"

A shadow as fast as the wind swept up from the cactus he had chopped off, and came straight to his face. Shao Zongyan took a wrong step and flipped the slashing knife downward, and his true qi penetrated the blade. The shadow rushed straight to the blade of the knife as if it was seeking its own death, and was knocked unconscious on the spot by the true power of the knife and fell to the hard wasteland.

Sure enough, it was a big scorpion, with a body bigger than one of his hands, a tail as thick as a crab □□, and a barb on the tail much larger than anything he had ever eaten, shining with a cold black light. He stretched out his knife to cut off the scorpion's tail, and was about to pick it up, when another extremely fast and sharp wind struck. This time, he didn't have to shoot, he directly met with the blade, and the thin cracking sound swirled and swirled, and a larger scorpion corpse fell to the ground, and the poisonous hook happened to be cut aside.

These two scorpions are big enough, and they must taste good, but unfortunately they are not enough for three people to eat, if there are seven or eight more.

He picked up the scorpion with a knife and put it into the survival kit, and the elf accompanying him also happened to rush over, grabbed the sheet wrapped around his body and pulled it back, and said in a panic: "This is the tree of death, get out of it." Not only are its own spines highly poisonous, but there are also many terrible poisons growing on it. This scorpion is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is a poisonous spider, the body is very large, the whole body will be swollen and deformed if you sting a person, and in the end you can only die in pain! Luckily, there is no ...... on this one."

Before the word "no" came out, a dense black and white flower spider crawled out from behind the fallen cactus branches, and there were about twenty of them, and the elves were dizzy to see. He dragged the customer service desperately and shouted: "You run, I have the power of nature, they won't bite me, you must run away!" ”

Shao Zongyan saw that he was so frightened that his face was pale and he was standing stiffly in front of him, opening his arms to block the poisonous spider, his heart was slightly hot, he sighed lightly, pulled the person behind him, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, this thing is delicious, leave it to me to deal with." ”

This stuff is delicious......

Delicious......

Do they say they want to eat this kind of thing at noon?!!

No, never!

The elves' nerves tensed again, but this time it was no longer "spiders are poisonous, run away and don't let them eat us", but "spiders are poisonous, please stop and don't eat".

However, he was unable to stop the tragedy. His customer service took out a packet of medicinal powder from his bag and sprinkled it on the ground, and the dense and fast crawling spiders lay motionless on the hot ground as if they were dead in the blink of an eye. Shao Zongyan picked up the fat spider with a knife and observed it, smiled on his face, and said affectionately: "This spider is really fat." Later, roll it on the ground to grind the fluff, put it on the fire and cook it, and put it on the fire, and put it on the spice, it will definitely be fragrant and tender. If you're afraid of insects, I'll pick out the meat for you, this big spider is like a crab, and it has a lot of meat. ”

The grass carp spirit patted the water approvingly, and told him to find something else: "Grasshoppers and caterpillars are also good, it would be better if there were bee nests, bee pupae and larvae are delicious to eat, and there can also be honey." ”

Daochang Shao thought so, found a dustpan full of spiders and scorpions, collected them together with the cactus, and went to see a clump of black locusts between the stone crevices in the distance.

It's a leaf, and no matter if there are edible insects underneath, the leaves are also vegetables.

They walked in the desert for a few days, and the vegetables bought in the supermarket were almost eaten, and the rest were fresh meat, frozen meat, and quick-frozen meat stuffed food. Although the elves ate with them without saying a word, they were supposed to be a vegetarian race, and they ate meat every day, and their stomachs must have suffered a lot of grievances.

Shao Daochang is bent on making up for the harm suffered by the customer, and it is best to let him leave willingly not complaining, and he is especially attentive to food. There happened to be a few giant grasshoppers under the black locust tree, and when they saw someone pushing through the bushes, they flew out of the tree fiercely, opened their sharp palates, and spewed out a pungent poisonous juice from their mouths.

Shao Zongyan took two steps back, and the poisonous juice fell to the ground, eroding deeply into the surface. The grasshoppers were not afraid of humans, and still rushed forward one after another, raising their long knife-like front claws and slashing at his face.

But the claw failed to land on target.

Halfway through the flight, they suddenly realized that the humans in front of them were gone, and they could not control the fall to the ground. It wasn't until their bodies hit the ground, and something on the ground was reflected in their huge compound eyes, that they realized that their wings had already fallen all over the ground. The terrible enemies who had harvested the membranacean did not let them go, but restrained their bodies with an invisible, soft thing, sending them into darkness.

This thing is called a plastic bag.

Shao Daochang stood up with a plastic bag of grasshoppers, shook it at the elf outside the black locust bush, and told him that he could eat fried grasshoppers at noon.

The elf smiled numbly. One after another, the most terrible poisons in the desert became their lunch options, and his vigilance against these legendary creatures was worn away. When Shao Zongyan caught a giant bee the size of a fist, he was only thinking about how to eat this thing and whether it would taste good, and it took a while for a while before a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

It's not a poisonous insect that grows naturally in this dead desert, it's the "Eye of the Wind God" specially designed to find people!

The hot sweat on his forehead suddenly became cold, and he rushed up to grab Shao Zongyan and shouted in a hoarse and pitiful voice: "They have found it!" Let's get out of here, now! Immediately! Right away! Hassan...... That lord is coming soon! ”

His palms were clammy and cold, trembling and holding Shao Zongyan's arm, the customer service brother, who had always been gentle and smiling, also had a cold face, looked at the poisonous bees flying in the air, squinted his eyes and asked, "These bees were released by him?" ”

"Hmm." The elf thought of the lord's malicious design for himself, thought of the various encounters after being sealed with magic power, and thought of the dark black stone prison, and he lost his voice for a while, so he could only nod lightly, and pulled the corner of the customer service's clothes in fear, asking him to leave with him.

Shao Zongyan shook his head, his gorgeous and warm face became murderous, and he said indifferently: "When I was in prison, I was afraid that he would come, but now I am only afraid that he will not come." This place is uninhabited, it is a good place to kill people, what do you want to avoid him? ”

"Yes...... But we can't beat them. I know you're strong, but he's not only good at fighting, but he also has an artifact inherited from the ancestors of the Winston family, which can unleash powerful wind and fire magic. His guards were also seasoned knights, and they rode fierce and nimble monitor lizards, each of which could easily bite an elephant......"

He gushed about the strength of those people, and the fear in his heart unconsciously deepened, and the beautiful head hung down, and the whole person was wrapped in fear and melancholy.

The grass carp spirit confidently sent a voice to Shao Zongyan: "Don't be afraid of any magic, you just have to do it, I will take care of it if something happens." ”

Shao Daochang had strong reinforcements in hand, and suddenly became more and more immortal wind dao bones outside the world. He reached out to hold the elf's chin and forced him to look at himself: "What are you afraid of, what is there to be afraid of." You don't have to think about anything else, as long as I still have a breath, no one will touch a finger of you; Even if I can't do it, and Brother Yan is here, those people can't take advantage. ”

But Brother Yan ...... The elf looked at the small grass carp in the tank that was only the size of a palm with little confidence, and still bet all his hopes on Shao Zongyan.

Come to think of it, he is the customer service of that game, and he can save himself from the black prison, how can he lose to a lord of the small world?

It's more practical to think about how you can tactfully refuse to roast bugs.

Shao Daochang set up a small pergola, put the grass carp into the ecological fish tank, and the elf also rushed in to rest, and he took advantage of the fact that the weather was not completely hot and was busy outside for a while before entering.

Qingjin looked at him worriedly through the curtain, but he couldn't figure out what he was doing, only a rough idea that it was a trap, but he couldn't guess what was in the trap.

Before Shao Zongyan came back, he washed his hands seriously, changed the sheets on his body, and replaced his slightly loose shirt and trousers with a white cotton T-shirt and jeans that wrapped his body tightly. There is such a person in the world who dresses more simply and charmingly, and the beautiful muscle lines loom under the cotton, as if tempting someone to tear that thin T-shirt apart.

Elves are the most beautiful creatures, even if this beauty is always associated with the "bed" in the eyes of humans, it is still simple in his eyes, pure beauty worthy of appreciation. Just like this magnificent wasteland desert, like the blue sky overhead, but also like their elves, the darlings of nature.

It wasn't until the moving beauty came up to him and asked him why he was still standing in the doorway that Qingjin came back to his senses and said embarrassedly, "I want to see what you're doing, I'm still a little worried about them." ”

Shao Daochang looked at his slender and white fingers and smiled proudly: "It's nothing, it's just a little medicine." Didn't they come on horseback? So he put aside some medicine for the animals, and waited for them to plant themselves on the lizard, and then slowly cleaned them up. ”

He smiled deeply, and his touching face looked like a sense of murder, which made the elf can't help but be afraid, and asked with respect, "What kind of medicine is that?" ”

Shao Zongyan seemed to recall something, his eyes flowed, his expression was bright, and he smiled lightly: "It's nothing, you don't have to understand." ”

He pushed the elf into the house, sat down on the ground and began to handle the food. The grasshopper's head was unscrewed off, and a bloody unknown object was pulled out with the internal organs and thrown into the small plate; The two scorpions were also thrown into the water, and they were brushed inside and out with a small toothbrush; The worst treatment of spiders is to roll on the gravel ground a few times, grind off the poisonous hairs on their stomachs and thighs, and then pluck out eight thick legs that are proudly opened and throw them into a pot of spice sauce to soak.

Shao Zongyan looked at him and kept looking at the spider, thinking that he was reluctant to spider legs, and explained: "There is no meat on the legs, the meat is all in the head and stomach, but it has to be cooked before eating." ”

The elf grinned reluctantly, embarrassed to say that he didn't want to eat this thing - the meat had been eaten, and the worm could still say that he wouldn't eat it? This is not the time for him to be a picky eater.

This time, because there was a black locust tree, Shao Zongyan cut down the branches and burned the fire. These black locust branches have no water in the first place, and when they are drawn with matches, they quickly crackle and burn, the fire is not hard, but it is enough to deal with these insects.

He first boiled a pot of water, put a little green onion, ginger, garlic, and a clove of star anise, and put the collected scorpions and grasshoppers in it to cook a little to remove the smell of wild insects. As soon as the grasshoppers changed color, he fished them out, put them in the fence to control the water, poured some oil into the pot, and slowly cooked them over low heat.

The aroma of grasshoppers is not comparable to meat, and the shell is red after cooking, as long as it is sprinkled with a little salt, and it is enough to be tender and crispy without any other seasoning. After frying, he grabbed one himself, tore it off his stomach, blew it cold and fed it to Yan Hanjiang to taste, and he couldn't help but eat the other half.

The stomach of this grasshopper is full of yellow, and the seeds are soft, fragrant and greasy. The meat is also sweet and sweet, the shell is crispy and salty, the salt particles sprinkled have not completely melted, and there is no excessive seasoning taste, but it cooks the freshness of the grasshopper itself to the maximum.

He picked out everything in the pot, ate one himself, and happily chewed the meat and went back to fry the scorpion. The boiled scorpion was almost dry, and the abdomen was cut into small pieces with a knife, and it was lowered into the smoking boiling oil, and the aroma reached everyone's nose with a "sting" sound.

The elf, who had always been embarrassed because he didn't want to eat insects, sat opposite the crispy red grasshopper and began to worry about how to control himself and not eat all the grasshoppers.

Yan Hanjiang didn't have this kind of trouble at all, holding half of the grasshopper thicker than his waist and gnawing it very sweetly, sticky to the oil and fine salt grains of fried grasshoppers, making himself look like a fish pickled in the pot.

Not long after, the scorpion meat was also served. Chef Shao poured out the excess oil from the pot, lifted the knife and shaved the cactus skin, revealing the crisp, tender stems and flesh inside. The meat is full of water, and when you cut it, the juice flows out of the sticky and clear water. He washed it slightly, cut it into thin slices of elephant eyes with a kitchen knife, put a fresh lily on it, and made a stir-fry with the meat oil of fried scorpions.

The fried cactus fried lily is sweet and refreshing, and there is a faint aroma of meat. The elf was worried that he would cut off the vegetables in the future, but he didn't expect this stingy cactus to be so delicious, with a crisp taste similar to a cucumber and a mucus like a sunflower, smooth and refreshing. The fried lily petals are crisp and a little soft and glutinous, and the sweetness of the whole dish makes the whole dish a unique freshness of vegetarianism.

The two meat and one vegetable have been served, and the raw materials are all uncomfortable poisons that make people uncomfortable, but they are all good in color, flavor, and taste, which makes people drooling, I don't know what the taste of those spiders will be?

Qingjin is now close to Zhu Zhechi, and his heart has relaxed a lot, even if he knows that his most terrifying opponent has found their whereabouts, he still pays more attention to how those spiders eat - he has tasted other dishes, and everything is delicious, so the one who didn't eat it is even more curious.

He watched the pile of spiders with chopsticks in his mouth, just waiting for them to get out of the pan. Who knew that Shao Zongyan didn't do it, after popping the minced green onions, he only poured the leftover rice from yesterday into the pot and fried it softly, poured diced ham cut into small pieces, canned green beans and corn and stir-fried together, and finally poured the battered egg liquid and stirred well, served it hot, and asked them to start the meal.

Egg fried rice is very fragrant, but what about spiders? Do you want to save it for the night?

Can you really eat at night?

Shao Zongyan didn't hear his heart at all, so he extinguished the fire on the spot, and then turned around and threw the pickled spiders into the ashes, leveled the ash pile with a chopping knife, and buried them tightly.

The elf sat up straight in disbelief, eating the crispy cactus slices, and couldn't help but peek at the spiders who had been ruthlessly abandoned. Shao Zongyan dialed half a plate of fried rice for Yan Hanjiang, most of which were diced ham, and wiped off the salt grains on his body with a handkerchief, and peeled a piece of fatty scorpion meat for him to eat.

Take care of the grass carp essence, and when he turned around and saw the appearance of the spirit soul, he lightly persuaded: "Eat, only when you are full will you have the strength to fight, I want to eat and fight again, you have this condition, don't get along with yourself." ”

Qingjin lowered his head and ate the fried rice slowly, embarrassed to let him know that he was not for the fight, but because he thought of the spider and had not eaten.
