Chapter 61 Out of season

Tron retrieves the materials for the enhancement ritual from the Horned Winged Beast, and then sees Feige return with the goblins. He sighed slightly, then pointed to a large stone next to the fire: "Sit down, take a rest, and wait for the meal to start in a while." ”

The Horned Wing Beast has been dismantled in eight pieces, and it looks unappetizing. Not all game is delicious, and the Horned Winged Monster is among them. It is not toxic, but has an unbearable fishy smell, and nine times out of ten you will vomit it after eating, not only can not replenish the body's nutrition, but also lose physical strength, and even suffer from disease.

So Feige breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Tron kick the corpse of the Horned Winged Beast off the cliff. "Dry food?" he asked, holding up his backpack.

"No, let's bake eggs. Tron pinched his nose and said, "I saw by the light of the fire, the eggs are raw, and there are no small horned winged demonic beasts in them." The egg is big enough to cook it enough for a few of us to eat. ”

"Are you sure this thing can be eaten? There's blood on it, do you think the Horned Winged Beast is performing some evil ritual?"

"Have you studied rituals too much, and everything you see is related to spells? I only saw blood, not runes or spells. If there is always something with mana for a ceremony, do you see?"

Feige shook his head. The Horned Winged Beast's behavior was a bit strange, and it was beyond the book record of this creature, but Tron was right, there was indeed no trace of spell casting here. Besides, they were going to eat eggs, not goblin blood on their shells. Wait a while to see what it looks like, if there is a problem, you can choose not to eat it, and no one will pull their hair and stuff it in their mouths, right?

Bake eggs can't be burned directly over an open flame, which will inevitably lead to explosion, and the egg wash will all be wasted on the ground. Bake eggs must be made of wood ash and constantly turned, and they are essentially blanched.

That is, after taking the backpack back, there is the remaining meat from before, including the jerky of the grinding teeth and the remaining Rock Beast. These plus a small amount of dry food to cushion the stomach, everyone has the patience to make firewood ashes. It's not so fine in the wild, and the wooden strips can be used after being smashed into carbon, and the big deal is to add some unburned wooden strips to balance the temperature.

As mentioned before, the eggs of the Horned Winged Demon Beast are bigger than basketballs, and if you want to be fully cooked, you must either attack inside and outside the oven and microwave oven, or you can take the trouble to bake them slowly, and it may be almost the same all night-who can stand this? Fei Qi came up with a compromise solution, constantly turning the part near the eggshell into solid, and then directly split it in half, turning it into two egg bowls with liquid egg yolks. The remaining part of the egg wash almost fills the helmet pot, and then bakes two egg bowls while the helmet pot is roasted on the fire.

The aroma of the charcoal fire and the eggs mixed and silenced everyone. At this time, no one wants to speak, they are afraid that saliva will flow down their mouths. Unable to operate with his hands, Feige uses spells to control two egg bowls and an egg pot. Tron sat and stared at the food, wiping his weapon and armor as hard as he seemed to be ready to polish all the metal parts on it into a mirror.

Friends sat cross-legged beside Feige, his hands tightly over his mouth so that the gurgling and rumbling in his stomach would not come outβ€”at least not so loudly. Except for picking up things that no one pays attention to outside and eating them directly, when the chief distributes food, he must not grab it, otherwise he will not only be beaten, but also starved. Friends eat ten trenches and grow a wisdom, this has been learned.

Midnight is the most elegant of all, and it is not really hungry, so it scratches its master's leg with its claws from time to time not because of the physical need in the stomach, but out of a spiritual pursuit, or gluttony.

"Okay, ripe. Feige poked the egg white with a stick to look inside, then took out a knife and cut it into pieces, sprinkled it with salt, and then poured the cooked egg yolk into it, stirred, and distributed. Two eggshells and a pot turned into three makeshift bowls, and everyone snorted and ate.

The eggs of the Horned Winged Monster are simply one taste: fragrant. With the blessing of this aroma, the slightly hard taste and the skill of the crappy chef are negligible. There is nothing more comforting than a dinner after victory, but one of the guys looked up from the pot and said, "This is a little wrong......

Tron almost threw the eggshell out of his hand: "What's wrong, what's wrong? Is it poisonous?"

"No, it's not toxic, but I think there's something strange about the whole thing. Feige pointed to midnight, "Don't you notice that Tron has already encountered two unusual biological breeding behaviors this winter: the ghost cat is stranded on the mountain because of its cubs when it should be down the mountain to escape the winter, and the horned beast actually lays eggs in the winter and hatches in the spring. ”

"It's quite abnormal, but there are always two or three abnormal things in a year, right?"

Feige crooked his mouth and handed the egg pot in his hand to the friend who had eaten it and was in the process of ** shelling. Thinking about letting the blood out of the stomach and into the brain, he was less hungry: "The two out-of-season births may have been just a coincidence, but it gave me a new idea." Why was that crazy cliff griffin so crazy in the first place, just because of the revenge for the death of his mate?"

Tron was stunned: "Isn't it just revenge?

"The cliff griffin is not such a loyal creature, it is certain to avenge its mate, but it is not so bad that it doesn't even eat anything, right?" Feige frowned, and slowly said his thoughts: "If you think about it from another angle, could it be because it has no mate and cannot reproduce offspring out of season, so it is driven and forced by some force to go crazy?"

"What? You can't lay eggs and go crazy, what force can drive a griffin like that?"

"Destroy and regenerate the cult. The words that flowed from the corners of Feige's mouth lowered the temperature around him slightly. "Destruction is easy to understand, but what about rebirth, even if it's a cult, created and supported by a chaotic demon, the name doesn't usually lie. The goddess of truth and thunder must master the truth and thunder, and the sect of destruction and rebirth has both destruction and rebirth. I now feel that the cold winter covers the mountains with heavy snow, and life is on the verge of death, but it is multiplying, and there is no closer to destruction and rebirth than this. ”

"You explain this...... I don't know if it's right or wrong, but you'd better talk to Lord Snowy Owl, what if it's right?" Tron pulled two more mouthfuls of eggs into his mouth, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes!"

"What? ”

"Goblins. Tron adjusted for a moment, and finally was able to explain clearly: "What's the matter with your goblin, is it also here to breed the tribe? You ask it where the goblin tribe is, how large, and what level of weaponry." Oh, don't let it see what we're trying to do. ”

If there is an intention, it can only be the intention of eradicating the goblins. If a single goblin is obedient, he may still be able to live under the protection of Feiqi, but no one can shelter an entire goblin tribe around the paladins and monster hunters of the Sunset Mountain Goddess Church. Feige searched "Feiqi's memory" for a moment, and it was all calamity, expulsion, and annihilation.

"Pengpeng, how did you get caught by the Horned Winged Demon Beast, and no one came to save you?"

The goblin had already eaten the egg pot that Feige had given him, and his stomach had swelled into a ball, completely spreading the rags. He reclined on the rock, wiped his mouth vigorously, and replied with a serious mental head: "Peng Peng and his companions went out to look for something to eat, and when they saw a glowing cave, they went to the cold mountain and hissed. Two fell down the hill and died, another fell down the hill and died, and one ran back to the cave, and the cave was gone. Then the big bad bird catches, and the chief kills the big bad bird and saves the friends and friends. ”

"A glowing cave that disappears?" the goblin's description didn't sound like a real cave, so Feige asked, "Friends, what kind of environment did you live in in the past, in this mountain?"

There are a lot of big puddles, and soft soft soil (swamps) that eat goblins, and friends catch water snakes. "The goblin sometimes waved his arms to catch snakes, and sometimes grabbed himself by the neck and slowly crouched down to indicate that he was swallowed by the swamp - in all the movements, there was no climbing or descending. He finally said, "Two hot fireballs in the sky!"

"Two, not one?" Feige exclaimed immediately, relaying the goblin's words to Tron.

Peng Peng nodded, raised two fingers, and pointed them in both directions of the sky, stating very clearly the number of suns. The goblin had never used the number three, but two was right.

Whether it was from his expression or observing the soul fire, Peng Peng didn't lie - it was difficult to deceive the contract demon in person, and it was even more impossible for a goblin to reach the sky. "Two suns, then it is not in Yongli, but in another world. Then the glowing cave is easy to understand, it must be some kind of cross-world teleportation effect. ”

"Teleportation across the world, is it like the goddess of truth and thunder sending down an angel?" Tron looked at Pengpeng, the goblin who had eaten too much and was violently active, and now he was lying on the ground and rubbing his stomach. He couldn't help but complain to himself: Who is idle and has nothing to do to teleport such a guy?

Feige noticed Tron's expression and sighed as well: "I also think it's incredible, but it's ......"

He paused abruptly, his two eyeballs twitching from side to side as he stared at the firelight. Tron hurriedly asked what was going on, and Feige raised his palm to silence him. He was in a state of serious thought, and it took about three minutes for him to come back to his senses.

"Tron, I have another question: where did the second Horned Winged Beast come from? Are you pretty sure there is only one Horned Winged Beast? Is the one you just dissected the one you saw at the time?"

"Yes, that's right, it's the one I saw before. I know exactly what it looks like, I can't be mistaken. If I see another one, I'll think about the second one early in the morning, and we won't be attacked. ”

"Then let's go down tomorrow and see what it looks like to fall to death, I wonder if it came through a portal. ”

"What's this? Is it possible that there will be traces through the portal? impossible, even if there are traces, even if the eggs are born, the traces can still be left?"

"Look at its muscles, its fat, and compare it with the other. If you look at Pengpeng's clothes, you can see that his hometown is not cold at this time. Two suns plus the swamp, where the horned beasts may not have stocked up on fat for winter. This conjecture may not be tenable, and it is likely that there will be no evidence to support it, but I have a few ideas, can you listen to them......"

"The eggs haven't had time to hatch at all, so we can reverse the time of laying eggs, it's just when the snow is the heaviest, isn't it? Under normal circumstances, the nutrients stored by the Horned Winged Demon Beast in autumn are almost exhausted, where does it have the ability to lay eggs and make eggs? Even if you have the spare energy, it should be insufficient. The one you kill is only a male, and the other one is a more well-stocked female, which is counterintuitive: in the Sunset Mountains, the desire to breed can be strong, but it won't make it easier to find food. Moreover, they do not lay eggs much earlier – like their parents at midnight. ”

"So, if it's fatter, then it's probably from another season, from another world. Feige concluded: "If that happens, things get troublesome......"
