Chapter 62: Bonfire in the Woods
A lot happened during the day. First, the notorious Chuantian City was broken by the imprisoned people in one fell swoop. Then, the people in the city suffered heavy casualties, and all the gold, silver, jewelry, and spirit stone martial arts were all looted.
One after another, a mysterious force attacked, re-contained the people in the city who had not escaped, and then began to search for a person in the middle of the spiritual realm in some surrounding cities.
And for this reason, he kidnapped many people who had cultivated well, and re-imprisoned them in the cells of Chuan Tiancheng. The people in the surrounding cities dare not speak out, and if they resist, they will be killed.
And the city guards and city lords who guarded the safety of the people did not show up to speak, as if they acquiesced to this act!
For a while, on a large land centered on Chuantian City, the dark tide was surging, the people were struggling to make a living, and everyone was immersed in the wind and noise!
However, all this has nothing to do with Zhao Yi and Shen Yu.
The sunset came to an end from the edge of the sky, and the sky gradually darkened, and the twilight was dull.
In this mountain range, all the sounds have been silenced, and the whole land is silent. From time to time, a little ghost fire floated through the forest in front of me, eerie and terrifying.
It seemed that another beast could not bear this kind of secluded environment, and the beast's roar sounded suddenly, and the next moment it whimpered and swallowed the sound back into its stomach. Lying on the ground, staring at the lantern and staring at the darkness ahead.
It was a place that made people's hearts cold, but it was broken by a scene.
There was a bonfire lit up, and there was a raging fire, on which were hung several pheasants that had lost their feathers and washed their entrails.
They were all strung together by a branch, and they were being turned over and over by Zhao Yi with the tail end on the fire, seeing that the color was almost the same, sprinkled with some spices, and suddenly there was a five-spice with an obvious smoky fragrance coming together.
"It's so fragrant!" Shen Yu sniffed with his eyes closed, swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Zhao, I didn't expect you to have this kind of craft!"
"In the past, when I was marching and fighting, and when I was fighting on the battlefield, I learned it from my second brother Xiao. "When he said 'second brother', a trace of sadness clearly flashed in his eyes, and he was quickly erased again.
"Have you ever led soldiers and fought?" asked Shen Yu in surprise.
"Yes!" Zhao Yi looked at the flickering bonfire in front of him, turned over the pheasant, and said calmly: "It's been a long time, and the family and country have been stable, so I came out to have a rough run and gain knowledge." ”
"But we have never heard of a war between two empires in a large part of our country! Shen Yu raised his doubts.
"I was born in an extremely remote place, and you may not have heard of it!"
"No wonder!"
Shen Yu nodded and said, "Then I must go to your birthplace in the future and have a good life." It should have a beautiful name!"
"That's right!" Zhao Yi sprinkled some seasoning on the pheasant, causing Shen Yu to stare directly at the fragrant chicken thigh.
"It's called 'Saigo Land', a war-torn home full of greenery and warmth. No matter what it becomes, in my eyes, it's the most beautiful because it's unique!"
"Then I'm going to see the magical place you spoke of!"
Shen Yu tilted his head, looked at the evenly colored pieces of meat on the bonfire, and said, "I don't know how to go to your birthplace!"
"Huh!"
Zhao Yi didn't know how to go back, from encountering the insect mist, entering the Three Realms space, and then coming out. He himself was lost and didn't know where he was going.
In the face of Shen Yu's inquiry, he touched his head and said, "Maybe you can get to it by walking all the way west, it is a huge floating island isolated from the world." ”
Under the repeated roasting of the bonfire, drops of golden oil and water fell on the red-hot wood, making a snorting sound and emitting a hint of oil fragrance.
When Zhao Yi picked them up, Shen Yu thought he could eat them, and despite Zhao Yi's obstruction, he was about to bite them with his mouth open.
Contrary to his wishes, he took a bite into the air, making the teeth of his upper and lower jaws touch with a crisp sound.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yu rubbed the sore spot and frowned, "Isn't it possible to eat! Why don't you let me take a bite first, I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back!"
"Not yet!"
Zhao Yi laughed, got closer and sniffed the golden roasted pheasant on the branch, touched his chin and exclaimed pity: "The heat is still almost, it can be remedied." But I can't get rid of the fishy smell... If only there was rice wine......"
"Wine, I have it!"
Shen Yu responded with a smile, and hurriedly took out two jars of good wine from the mustard seed bracelet and put them on the ground. looked at Zhao Yi excitedly: "Is it enough, not enough, I still have a lot!"
Zhao Yi looked at the two jars of wine on the ground dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "Where did you get so much wine?"
"I took it from the village I was passing by. ”
"You're not taking, you're stealing!"
"How can there be!" Shen Yu retorted: "I left them an equivalent silver ingot!"
"Then have you talked to the owner of these wines?", Zhao Yi asked with a glare.
"You shouldn't need to ask about this!" Shen Yu said in a low voice: "Just can't take it directly, and ask them, isn't it troublesome?"
Zhao Yi was stunned and passed the previous conversation. He now had good reason to wonder if the other party had taken away all the wine in the village. With his kind of silk tricks, it would be effortless to do that.
Forget it, he doesn't want to dwell on this matter too much.
A little rice wine was poured out, sprinkled on the surface of the pheasant, and placed on the bonfire to continue roasting.
Under the invasion of wine, the meat pieces are covered with white smoke, and these white smoke takes away their original fishy smell, and the empty meat is smooth and refreshing.
In the flickering firelight, the outer layer of flesh gradually lifted and became crispy. The golden butter layer on top coats the surface of the chicken, and the whole glitters with an attractive luster, and it looks like a strong desire to eat at a glance.
At the last spill of rice wine, with the sound of snorting, the white smoke disappeared, and a unique fragrance intertwined by five spices, meat aroma, smoky incense, and rice wine fragrance overflowed.
When he invaded Shen Yu's sense of smell, he was already unable to control it. As long as Zhao Yi says yes, he will definitely snatch it from Zhao Yi like a hungry tiger and feast on it.
After three breaths, Zhao Yi finally picked them up from the bonfire and stuck them straight into the ground next to him.
At this time, they are full of color, uniform, and golden throughout, which is fully in line with the three characteristics of food, such as fragrant, crispy and tender.
If you bite into this bite, the corners of the mouth must be oily, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and delicious, and the taste is pleasant!
Shen Yu squatted in front of them, saliva overflowing from his slightly open mouth, and he couldn't wait to share these delicacies with Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi looked at this respectful face, couldn't help but shake his head, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a rustling of footsteps.
Shen Yu and Zhao Yi ignored a glance, both nodded, understood their intentions, and jumped on a tall tree next to them, staring at the source of the sound.
Rustle~
"Damn! Those people will arrest anyone when they see them! Our three brothers have fallen into their hands!"
One of them, who had a somewhat flattering appearance, said to the other one-eyed strong man, "Big brother, are you okay?"
"What a fart!" he covered his swollen face, kicked the other party's ass, and said angrily: "I was beaten half to death, and I lost half my life to escape, do you think I can be good!"
"Oh, big brother, I'm the only one left now, don't beat me again, I still have a few knife wounds on my body!"
He rubbed his buttocks and whispered while howling miserably: "I've been running around for a long time, I'm hungry and thirsty, and now I'm still wandering in this ghost place where I can't get to the village or the back of the village." ”
The one-eyed strong man snorted coldly, and also said to himself, "I'm also unlucky, I just found a bunch of treasures a few days ago, and in the blink of an eye, I was snatched away by a group of hateful people, and I also punched and kicked each other, making my whole body red and purple." A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and the injury finally recovered, and I met these crazy people again and beat me again. No matter how strong my body is, I can't withstand such a toss!"
The two stepped on the ground with a thick layer of dead branches and leaves, and walked slowly.
Grunt~
The man croaked with hunger, and said, "Big brother, I'm hungry!"
"What's the noise?" the one-eyed man scolded, "You're hungry, I'm not hungry?"
The man shrugged his head and walked from side to side, hunger pounding against his head, causing him to start his eyes with Venus, but fortunately he closed his eyes.
The nose suddenly sniffed, "Ahhh
The strong man shook his head, "I'm afraid you're hungry and stupid! Where did you get the barbecue in this wilderness?"
"No, I really smell it!"
He sniffed his nose in the direction of the campfire, opened his eyes, and exclaimed, "There is a fire in front of the big brother, there must be someone roasting meat to eat......!"
"Let's go!" the one-eyed man saw it too.
The two of them took three steps and two steps, and quickly came to the campfire, only to find that there was no one around!
"Ahh
He knelt in front of the food standing on the ground, stretched out his hands and gestured with his teeth and claws, his eyes did not leave for a moment, "There are three of them, this is enough for us to eat, the eldest brother eats two, and the younger brother eats one." ”
The one-eyed strong man ignored his voice and looked around quietly, with a look of vigilance!
Except for some sounds of the wind and the sound of sparks bursting when the fire is burning, there is no other strange sound.
"Dare to ask which brother is here? I and I passed by accidentally, I hope you don't blame it!"
The strong man clenched his fists and said, "Brother come out to meet so that I can make friends." ”
It's still quiet, only the sound of the wind, and... Uh, the sound of eating!
Huo Ran, the one-eyed strong man, turned around and glared: "You still eat it, aren't you afraid of poison?"
"It's delicious! It's the best roast pheasant I've ever tasted, I've never eaten it this good!"
Seeing his eldest brother questioning, he handed it over and said, "Big brother, you have one too, it's absolutely delicious! Haha! Goo~Hmm!
"This is obviously something left by someone else, but the person is gone, aren't you afraid?", the strong man looked shocked.
I saw his little brother tear off a piece of chicken thigh, chewed his lower belly, and said with a comfortable face: "Didn't you see that we were coming, that person was so scared, so he fled!"
He bit another piece of meat and buzzed: "Big brother, don't care if there is anyone or not, come and taste it!"
The strong man saw that he was eating and drinking, and there was nothing to do, so he muttered, "Maybe it's really like what you said." Come on, I'll get one too!"
"Mmmm~mmmm! delicious, so delicious!"
"Big brother, I said it's delicious! Come on, this wine is more mellow!"
"Yes!haha~"
......
On the trunk, Shen Yu looked at the two of them, gulping down their delicacies and drinking their wines, his eyes on fire.
Both hands were raised, and the filaments began to be pulled out from under their hands, and when they were asked to look good, they were pressed down by Zhao Yi.
"You?" Shen Yu was puzzled: "They drank a lot of wine and ate a lot of meat, but I didn't even eat a bite of this meat!
Zhao Yi stared at their figures and said, "The figures of these two people are somewhat familiar, I have seen them faintly." But I haven't been able to see their faces, and I'm not sure where I've seen them, so let's see!"
"Hmph!" Shen Yu withdrew the filament, watching them devour, his heart was dripping blood!
"Then again, who are those people, and why are they crazy about arresting people?" the 'little brother' asked with a wink.
"They are all the mysterious forces behind Chuantian City! I heard that Chuantiancheng has been broken by the imprisoned people, and they are looking for a few people. What is puzzling is that there is one person in the middle of the Spirit Realm in their list, but the others are all in the middle of the Canghai Realm. And this mid-stage prisoner is the main culprit who broke through Chuantian! It's incredible!"
"They are looking for people, why are they arresting people indiscriminately, and they have also arrested our three brothers! If they say that there is a major suspicion, they must be brought back for good interrogation!"
"You thought it would be that simple, they just found a random excuse to arrest people, intending to make up enough people, and in the end it was to rebuild the gladiatorial arena of Chuan Tian City!"
"Ah, are they so powerful?"
Seeing his little brother's shocked face, the one-eyed strong man whispered: "In this land, one out of ten cities has a gladiatorial arena, and two out of twenty have been for many years! Do you know why no one dares to ask?"
"I don't know!", he shook his head!
The strong man looked around and lowered his voice again, "Because behind them, it is said that there is a shadow of the empire!!"
As soon as the astonishment came out, the man was so frightened that he was silent for a long time, and he forgot to chew the food in his mouth, and opened his mouth slightly in a daze.
A gust of wind blew at this time, and the red-hot wood crackled and made people feel cold all over the body.
