Chapter Eighty-Nine: Hunting Master VS Barbecue Master
"Look! Ye Zilan, look! This is the road, the road that someone has stepped on! This island is definitely inhabited, you know? He Ming almost forgot that he and Ye Zilan were hugging each other, holding each other forward, and almost danced with their hands.
"Yes, I also saw it, but don't get excited, you look at this road, there are weeds on the irregular road, which means that it is just stepped on naturally, no one takes care of it, and no one often comes. It is very likely that it is an uncivilized people, and it may also be stepped on by cannibals or even humanoid monsters. ”
Ye Zilan said softly, when this sentence came out, He Ming's surging blood cooled down.
They decided to look for it and look at it more closely, but with that, they realized a terrible problem:
The hole they had drilled out of the ground, the link to Beechcraft or the stone tomb, was gone.
In the magically powerful Marfa Continent, this kind of spatial anomaly is not impossible, but it is too strange to suddenly disappear in front of the two of them, at least if something unexpected happens, they will not be able to return through this passage.
But for now, they decided to stop and rest for a while, neither the air, nor the sight, nor the temperature would harm their health as much as underground.
He Ming suddenly felt at this time how soft Ye Zilan's body was and how delicate his skin was when he was hugging him and supporting each other, and he suddenly had a feeling of being extremely unwilling to rest, because once this was the case, he would have to let go of her.
And all the way from the connecting channel, He Ming's high fever is retreating as he walks, and his strength is slowly coming back, but Ye Zilan's state is not recoverable so quickly, it is still a little soft, and he has no strength, and now he Ming is actually helping each other more.
Seeing that Ye Zilan actually wanted to stop, but was still half-dragged by himself and walked a few steps, He Ming suddenly scolded himself for being shameless, and then carefully helped her to sit down on the grass on the side, and he also sat down beside her.
Then he turned his head to the side in embarrassment, blaming himself for what he was thinking.
"It's a nice place right now, it's supposed to be spring in terms of season, and the temperature is pleasant. What do you think we're going to do now? To be honest, this kind of place that I have never touched before, I am not at ease with the indigenous people. Ye Zilan said softly.
He Ming hurriedly turned around and said, "I feel that the fever has almost subsided, and my strength has recovered a lot." We're all hungry now, and I'm afraid it's dangerous to meet cannibals like this, so I'll take a break and go find something to eat. ”
Ye Zilan said: "Although I don't have much strength, but I can still use magic, I am not afraid of the enemy, but I am afraid that I will not be so kind to bring us food when I encounter the enemy, but you will only have half a life, how can you find food?" ”
He Ming said proudly: "I've been mixed for so long, other skills may not work, hunting is not something I can't learn at a glance, even if I don't have the strength and can't starve to death, you wait!" ”
As he spoke, He Ming pulled out some relatively long weeds on the spot, and then rubbed them up, and after a short time, he braided these grasses into a long rope, and then drew a scoop according to the gourd, and then braided several quite long ropes, and the grass where they rested was pulled out by him.
He Ming took these ropes and smiled mysteriously at Ye Zilan: "You wait for me here for a while, I'll come when I go." ”
Then he got up and walked in the direction of the middle of the island. The tall trees on this island are very sparsely grown, so there is no forest where He Ming is used to hunting.
But there are a lot of bushes, He Ming carefully observed the bushes nearby, the bushes are damp, and some are prickly, the branches are hard, but the leaves are very soft and fresh. The shrubs looked to the critters below them as if they were protected by a green dome.
He cautiously approached a large bush where many small animals had gathered, and from time to time he made a sound of chirping or squirming, and seemed to be at ease. He Ming took these ropes and quietly tied a few slipknots on the side.
Then he slowly went around to the opposite side, suddenly stood up, disturbed the bushes, and drove the small animals here in the direction of the slipknot, with the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping, He Ming came to the side of the slipknot, there were two rodents that were bigger than rabbits, but not rabbits, and a bird that could not fly was entangled.
Catching these three little animals alive, He Ming returned to Ye Zilan's side triumphantly.
Enjoying Ye Zilan's adoring eyes, not to mention making him more proud, this kind of look has always been given to Ye Zilan by him.
"It's yours, but you still have to do these things, and I will never do this. But if you want to barbecue, you can just leave it to me. Ye Zilan, who still looked weak, said softly.
The children who worked as farmers outside the city never did any of this? It seems that her father really dotes on her, He Ming thought in his heart, and once again a strange sense of superiority rose. While humming a happy little song, he bleed, plucked, skinned, and gutted the three little animals with a thunderbolt.
Although the tools are so ruined, as an expert in hunting, He Ming only managed these things in a short time, and there was not a little blood stained on his body.
He Ming put the three cleaned animals on a clean haystack, and then prepared to watch Ye Zilan's performance.
Ye Zilan has been watching He Ming busy with a slight smile, and He Ming is a little embarrassed to see that being able to show his expertise in front of her does give He Ming an indescribable sense of achievement.
He Ming unconsciously made a joke and said to her: "It's up to you now, I don't think this time it will definitely be roasted like the wolf spider in Bairimen." ”
After remembering that joke, Ye Zilan also showed him a knowing smile, and then stretched out his slender hand slightly, his onion fingers trembled, and the cherry mouth gently recited the spell, which was more serious than the magic with huge destructive power that was used in an instant like in the usual battle.
Then in the air, the summoned fire elementals, which were visible even to the naked eye, slowly gathered on the prey with her chanting, and then the temperature began to rise there.
And when the temperature rises to a certain extent, it will no longer change, and He Ming, who is standing next to him, only feels the warmth there, and there is no burning sensation at all, but the aroma of barbecue meat slowly diffuses.
Fifteen to twenty minutes later, Ye Zilan's little hand was put down, and at the same time, the three prey seemed to be completely cooked, with a golden appearance, shining with oil, but without a bit of mush, accompanied by the smell of barbecue.
As a connoisseur of barbecue, He Ming knew at a glance that their gravy was all locked inside, and they must taste juicy and tender.
Even the world's top barbecue masters, the only thing that can be admired is that no seasoning is added, but it is just baked to this extent, He Ming thinks that too much seasoning can only destroy the original flavor, and it is meaningless.
Ye Zilan smiled and said to him: "Although it is not as good as your hunting ability, it took me a lot of time to study this kind of barbecue." You know, it's a lot harder to keep this temperature for a barbecue than it is for me to cast a big fireball. I guess this one was more successful than roasting the wolf spider. ”
In fact, he was so hungry that he could even eat raw meat directly, He Ming had already worked hard to hold back his saliva from dripping down, but he couldn't be so embarrassed in front of Ye Zilan, so he turned his thinking to his magic attainments.
As soon as he thought of the fireball that killed a chicken in his five strokes, his appetite subsided, and then he handed the bird and a small beast to Ye Zilan, and let her choose what to eat first.
"Chop this bird in half, it's okay to taste the taste, when have you been so restrained." Ye Zilan looked at his face that was a little red and said with a smile.
He Ming immediately slashed his sword, cut the bird in half with the head and tail, put half of the bird and a small beast in front of Ye Zilan, and tore off a bird leg and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
He Ming, who has always boasted of being a master of barbecue, instantly lost the slightest confidence, although the meat on the bird's leg was only roasted to be tender and juicy, and it could be torn apart with a light bite, but it roasted the leg bones inside crispy, and that bite down, even the meat was bone-in-cheek, sandwiched with the deliciousness of meat juice and bone marrow, only to eat He Ming almost swallowed his tongue.
This kind of game that has never been touched before will have a somewhat fishy taste, but under the cooking of Ye Zilan's barbecue skills, these subtle flaws are not only insignificant, but can increase the original delicious taste, not to mention that He Ming is really hungry, so he quickly stuffed it into his mouth.
Of course, as a rare foodie in the entire Marfa Continent, although He Ming is gluttonous, he is not a swallowing dates.
Obviously, like a whirlwind of the clouds, he chewed up a little beast and half a bird that belonged to him, and even the bones were chewed together and stuffed into his stomach. He savored every bite, the slightly chewy legs, the melt-in-your-mouth brisket, and the crispy ribs.
Feeling that he was eating too much, when he was still holding his stomach, Ye Zilan looked at him with a slight smile. But she didn't gobble it up like He Ming, this time, she only gnawed on a beast's leg and a bird's leg, and ate the bird's breast.
He Ming didn't remember the first time he felt embarrassed in front of Ye Zilan, but after many times, he also got used to it, cheeky, scratched his head with a hand full of oil, and showed a refreshing smile to Ye Zilan with a face full of oil.
