Looking at the starry sky overhead, I think of you. - Shen Qiuci

Shen Qiuci looked at Ivan, Benny and Mera, his eyes became firm,

"Let's go!"

"Oh!" *3

At 4:50 p.m. on the fourth day, Ivan's team was in the first piece of the puzzle - the popcorn giant field in the wetland forest.

"It's wet, it's all foggy, and you can't see what's going on in the woods." Mera looked at the blood-sucking fat worms crawling on the mud from time to time, and her scalp tingled.

Qiu Ci distributed the white rock powder to everyone,

"Pay attention to your feet, there are insects that may fall on the branches above your head, don't pick them up by hand if you stick them, sprinkle some white rock powder on them and it will automatically fall off."

The three of them nodded and walked forward with Qiu Ci's pace.

The mud under his feet was slippery, and with every step he took, he would hold on to the towering trunk next to him, and there seemed to be a stream of liquid flowing from the ground to the top of the branch under the bark, constantly driving the epidermis to rise and fall.

Everyone walked in the mud for a long time, and Shen Qiuci finally found the location of a popcorn giant crown chicken.

"Above, the beast is at the top of this tree."

The three people behind him stopped, their spirits were shocked, and Ivan asked in a low voice:

"Is it popcorn cocktail chicken on it?"

"That's right." Qiu Ci couldn't take care of the surprise,

"The question now is how to provoke it and get it down."

"It's simple. Everyone dispersed. As soon as Ivan finished speaking, Benny and Mera offered their weapons, the Iron Shield and the Tranquilizer Spray, respectively.

Ivan also took out his scythe of death, and saw a flash of white light, and the bark of the tree to which Qiu Ci was referring had been cut by Ivan's scythe, and the fragrance of the mountain spring and the waxy white juice poured out from the cracks in the branches.

"This water is so sweet." Benny took a dip in his hand and took it in his mouth.

Then I only heard a sharp cry from the top of the tree, and something extraordinary was rampaging towards Shen Qiuci and them.

The shield in Benny's hand was lifted, covering the four of them at once, and then there was a loud bang, feeling the heavy blow above his head, Benny's hand holding the shield was numb, he was full of strength, and suddenly pressed the shield above his head to the ground.

The popcorn cocktail did not let Benny's shield press down in a daze, its chicken claws were deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree on the side, the whole chicken hung in the air, constantly fanning its fiery red wings, and a little spark fell from between its wing feathers, followed by a sharp cry, and the splashed sparks exploded in the fog, and the skin splashed by the sparks stinged, and the blood flowed out.

"It hurts." Benny gritted his teeth and stood in front of Mera.

I saw that the popcorn continued to stir its wings, this time, Qiu Ci didn't wait for the sparks between its wings to fall, and directly ignited it, and the sparks exploded between the wings and feathers of the popcorn cocktail, and its two cross-eyed eyes were crooked, and its claws fell from the tree as soon as they loosened, and Mela followed it with a calming potion.

"That's the end of it?" Benny looked depressed as Shen Qiuci put the popcorn giant crested chicken into the space. I saw that she quickly shoveled some wet mud crawling with blood-sucking fat insects in a container, and poured two large bottles of glutinous white sap from the trunk of the tree before signaling them to continue.

The ranks were rearranged, and Ivan's voice rang out in the ranks,

"We have to speed up, popcorn cocktails generally live in groups, and when they find out that they are missing their companions, they will definitely come to us for trouble."

"Everyone follows my pace, you can speed up." Ivan's eyes lit up when he remembered the incident when Autumn Ci took them through the valley quickly, and although Mera and Benny didn't understand what Autumn Ci meant, they also paid attention to their steps.

I don't know how long it took for them to come to the exit of the first piece of the puzzle.

The exit of the puzzle resembles a giant arch woven from flowers and vines, and at the top of the arch is a stone statue of a popcorn giant crested chicken.

"Let's go over." Qiu Ci looked at the three of them.

"Hmm." *3

It's 8:40 p.m. on the fourth day, and Ivan's team is in the second piece of the puzzle, the Haitian Salt Works.

As soon as the four of them stood in this area, they smelled a salty smell of white rock powder.

"The crystals of this ground must not be all white rock powder." Mera curiously squatted down and dipped her fingers in it, putting it on the tip of her tongue to taste,

"It's more refreshing than the taste of white rock powder!

Taste it. ”

Qiu Ci also squatted down and dipped it a little, and it was really the best sea salt.

"Let's settle here today." Qiu Ci looked around and stepped on the nearby land.

"Then pitch a tent here." Benny also chose one.

"What are we going to eat in a moment?" Mera leaned over, and Ivan just looked at Qiu Ci.

"I'll invite you to eat called flower chicken in a moment." As he spoke, he took out the popcorn cocktail chicken and a bottle of tree sap and handed it to Ivan.

"Captain, disembowel, take out all the contents by disembowelment, and then wash them with this glutinous white sap."

Ivan took out the knife and got busy working on the side, while Qiu Ci and Mera dug the pit together.

"You can bake a few more sticky potatoes later."

"Okay."

After digging the pit and filling the dry wood, Qiu Ci turned to look at the popcorn giant crown chicken that Ivan had handled, and saw that he had almost dealt with it, Qiu Ci took out the wet mud, and put the blood-sucking fat worms into the chicken chest cavity in the shock of Mera, and after they sucked the remaining chicken blood clean, Qiu Ci sprinkled some sea salt on the side, and they fell off.

"It can still be used this way." Ivan took notes on the sidelines.

"Hmm." Qiu Ci touched the whole chicken with salt, and then stuffed his stock of ginger fruits, mushrooms, spices, etc. into the chicken breast, and when it was full, he found oily paper from the space, wrapped the chicken with it, and wrapped two layers of wet mud on the oilskin paper, and then wrapped the sticky potatoes in mud, lit firewood, and threw them into the pit together.

The fire naturally crept up the mud shell, and all they had to do now was wait.

Qiu Ci took out another bottle of tree sap,

"Would you like some?"

All four sat down on the floor.

"This juice is really sweet and warm."

"yes, it's healing."

Qiu Ci didn't speak, he drank the sap without a sip, and his eyes looked at the sky.

There are no obstacles on this puzzle, and there are stars twinkling in the night sky. Shen Qiuci looked at one of them without blinking, and suddenly drew a face in his mind, his facial features were still blurred, but his eyes were clear and crystalline, without any distractions.

Ivan, who was sitting next to Qiu Ci, accidentally noticed the tenderness in the corners of her eyes, and a trace of strangeness flashed in his heart.

After a while, the scent of chicken that had been separated by several layers was captured by Shen Qiuci, and she said lightly,

"Alright."

Benny preemptively extinguished the flames with a cover of earth, and then used a twig to pull large and small pieces of mud out of the pit.

The popcorn giant crowned chicken wrapped in crispy soil was pushed between the four people, and Benny went down with a wooden stick, the crispy soil shattered, and the fragrance of the flower chicken overflowed at once.
