When the snow melts in early spring, the temperature is a little colder than when the snow covers the mountains.

The snow melted and the trails were muddy, and it was not easy to find a camp to spend the night. In the early morning, in the sparse part of the broad-leaved forest where the leeward does not accumulate water, the smoke of the fire that has been lit overnight is still curling, and the charcoal can be stirred up again by gently plucking it with a branch.

Beat a few bags of water from the stream, pour it into a small iron pot and boil, put the stored dried meat into the boiling water to boil until soft, and drink a bowl of hot broth, with meat and soup, not only can you satisfy your stomach, but also the harder hands and feet will soon be stretched.

Walking with the adventure team for half a month, Liu Ci's daily breakfast is the same, her broth will be seasoned with more sauerkraut and dried mushrooms, which is basically no essential difference from the food of Lydia.

Even though Liu Ci has been so low-key, the ingredients she prepared herself have raised discordant questions.

Washing the small iron pot, Liu Ci meticulously cleaned himself up by the stream, and when he came back, he saw the red-haired Jeff's eyes dodging.

After walking for half a month, the distance from the crystal mine is getting farther and farther away. Exhausted from the journey, the adventure team was nervous and worried all the way, and the ruddy color raised in the crystal ore in winter was gone, and the animal skin clothes on their bodies also added new tears.

Because of the jerky, Lydia and the others didn't get too distracted by food for more than ten days, and used their time as much as possible to find their way out of the mountain.

However, the five of them ate two deer, and the food stockpiled by the adventure team had been declared depleted this morning.

Luckily, as the snow melts, hunting and foraging for food in the mountains is easier than in the middle of winter. For example, when Uncle Sam was drawing water by the stream this morning, he caught a few carp with a palm-length carp and hung them around his waist with a withered vine, reserved for a lunch meal.

Jeff dodged and "sowed discord" because Liu Ci couldn't take enough food with him, and he didn't have the same concerns as the adventure team at all.

On the surface, Liu Ci only brought two animal skin pockets, and the big bag contained two sets of changes of clothes, so in the case of the embarrassed appearance of the adventure team, Liu Ci still looked at Qiu Shengxue and envied a few people. The pouch was filled with salt and various seasonings, and it was also a jerky soup, and Liu Ci's bowl was always more delicious than that of the adventure team.

So where is her seemingly inexhaustible food reserve?

After suspecting that Liu Ci was an elf, Jeff, based on his own observations, easily thought of the increasingly rare and precious "space magic items" because the space magicians had also disappeared in the magic continent for thousands of years—according to the different sizes of space that could store items, their value was even higher than that of elves.

Jeff knew that Liu Ci was at least a great swordsman, and it would be easier for the adventure team to get out of the Moroch Mountains safely by relying on her protection. He didn't plan to persuade Lydia and Liu Ci to turn their faces in the mountains, but if he said more provocative words, Lydia and Liu Ci would always have a disagreement.

For example, Liu Ci has space items on his body, and he doesn't know how much food he has in reserve, but he never takes the initiative to share some profits, which is the entry point for Jeff to sow discord.

Liu Ci saw the red-haired dwarf's behavior in his eyes, and did not hide his disgust and alienation when facing him, as for his slander, he still got along with Lydia and the four as usual even if he didn't hear it.

Speaking of knowledge, the middle-aged balding Uncle Sam is not as good as Arnold, but the old guide who has been running around the Moroc Mountains all year round has his own set of standards for judging right and wrong.

In Uncle Sam's opinion, Jeff ate too much.

Standard white-eyed wolf, when he was in the crystal mine, he was greedy and offended Liu Ci, the dignity of the great sword master is inviolable, and Liu Ci's actions are not too much to be measured by the code of conduct of the Magic Continent. Liu Ci forgave Jeff, but the short man didn't know what to do.

Don't say that Liu Ci doesn't take food out to share, according to Uncle Sam's idea, the five-person team should supply Liu Ci all the way!

As an old guide, he looked for the direction and identified the path very well, but it was not as good as under Liu Ci's guidance, and the opportunity for the team to face the monster in half a month was very rare!

They weren't a well-equipped, well-manned medium-sized adventuring party from years ago, and the purpose of entering the mountains was to hunt demonic beasts. There were only five people left, and they hurried away with their tails between their legs, and they were all protected by the god of light when they walked out of the Morok Mountains alive...... can avoid waves of attacks from Warcraft, everyone can survive, Liu Ci gave a few people not just a sense of psychological security, but real guidance.

"Uncle Sam, pinch a few more wild shallots, and stuff them into the belly of the fish when grilling the fish at noon, which can remove the fishy smell."

Sam came back to his senses and looked in the direction Liu Ci was pointing, where a cluster of newly emerging green seedlings was hiding in a crack in the rock. He took a few steps forward and picked out the onions with his fingers.

The town of Gase is also a gathering of residents from all over the empire, and it has lived for decades, but Uncle Sam, the two condiments of green onion and ginger, only saw it for the first time when he was in the crystal mines. Liu Ci taught Lydia various food recipes, which were unique and self-contained, and Uncle Sam was very convinced by her guidance.

"You know a lot." Uncle Sam's words definitely come from the heart.

Liu Ci smiled silently.

A few years ago, she couldn't distinguish between wheat seedlings and leeks, but she studied little by little according to agricultural books, and because of her experience in the Morlock Mountains, even if she removed the same species as the earth, she knew no less about these mountains than Uncle Sam.

"At the current pace, how long will it be before we get out?"

While Lydia and the others packed their tents and packed their bags, Liu Ci asked Sam in a low voice.

Uncle Sam straightened the sparse hair on the top of his head, and his face was obviously optimistic: "Don't deviate from the direction, walk for another month, and you should be able to reach the range of adventurers." ”

Liu Ci was speechless, the range of activities of the so-called adventurers is still far from the exit! According to Sam, wouldn't it be summer to get out of the Moroch Mountains to reach the adventurous town of Gase?

If she was the only one, relying on the Hundred Miles Divine Talisman, the time to walk out of the mountain range would be at least several times shorter, and if there was a Silver Wolf King's flight speed one day, it would be even faster.

Feeling a little regretful for going on the road with the adventure team, Liu Ci thought about it and turned to Lydia and said:

"I don't think I'm very sure, maybe this is the territory of high-level demonic beasts, let's get on the road quickly."

The higher the strength, the easier it is to detect the traces of the activities of the demonic beast, which is a perception that even Uncle Sam can't envy as a guide, and the few people have always been very convinced of Liu Ci's judgment. The fire was extinguished, Arnold and Lydia led the way with swords, Jeff followed, George and Sam were in the middle of the group, and Liu Ci followed unhurriedly at the end.

During the rapid march, George's physical strength was a drag, and no one expected him to carry the weight forward, and the bags were basically shared between Arnold and Jeff.

As for Liu Ci herself, no matter how fast or slow Lydia is, she can always follow the team without falling behind.

However, today Liu Ci deliberately lagged a few steps behind, and she just said that she had detected the aura of a high-level demonic beast was not all a lie.

Indeed, there are high-level demonic beasts rushing in the direction of several people.

Mental fluctuations, but Liu Ci is very familiar.

About two miles away from a few people, the cooing bird took a breath and complained to Liu Ci:

"Why are you traveling with a few humans, so that we can't escort you above board."

Liu Ci has long been accustomed to spiritual communication, and if the cooing bird is in front of her at this moment, Liu Ci will be ashamed of it. Before leaving the crystal mine, Gugu ran in the middle of the night to make a few jars of "fish sauce", if it weren't for the cold noodle image of the wolf god penetrating into the hearts of all the monsters, Gugu Bird would have hit the idea on the soju that Liu Ci specially left for the silver wolf.

Hearing the cooing complaints, Liu Ciqi said: "Isn't the recipe for winemaking left to you, so many little brothers, and I don't want you to do it yourself, won't you be able to drink new wine in a few months?" ”

Two miles away, the cooing bird flapped its wings, followed unhurriedly, and spoke weakly:

"There is no shortage of wild fruits in the mountains, but the fruit wine is sweet and sour, where is the taste of soju! If you want to make wine, you have to grow food, the beast god is above, Liu Ci, you are about to raise the mountains of demonic beasts into people......"

Liu Ci also wanted to laugh when he thought of the picture of the coo-gu bird leading a group of subordinates to open up the wasteland and farm in the depths of the mountain range. However, the cooing bird is clearly a female, and it dislikes that the fruit wine is not spicy enough to drink stronger soju, is this dead bird too domineering?

Considering that there was also a two-star magician in the team, Liu Ci and Gugu Bird ended the conversation after a few idle words.

Except for a short break at noon, the team's speed increased significantly.

When we set up camp in the evening, we were separated by two mountains from the departure point in the morning. When the stock was exhausted, in addition to making a fire, Lydia had to assign several people to go in groups to find prey.

Liu Ci slowly made the bed, and the few sweet potatoes buried in the campfire were already half-ripe. She wanted to vomit when she saw the jerky, and half a catty of flour was removed from the lotus pond space, and Liu Ci began to knead the noodles with water on the bamboo cutting board.

The dough is rolled out and cut into thin noodles, and the aroma of preserved chicken wafts from the iron pot on the fire.

Put the noodles into the base soup, Liu Ci beat two more eggs, took out two large bowls of chicken soup and hand-rolled the noodles, and brought a bowl to Lydia.

The hand-rolled noodles with preserved chicken as the soup base exude a salty aroma. Lydia wanted to leave it for George to eat for her brother to change the taste, but felt that the differential treatment would make the team members dissatisfied, so she finally took the bowl and solved the noodles in three or two.

When she had finished eating, Liu Ci took out the potato from the fire, stripped off her black coat with bamboo strips, and said to Lydia while taking a small bite:

"I did bring a lot of food."

Lydia was still reminiscing about Liu Ci's craftsmanship, and she suddenly opened her mouth to ask this question, and received it casually: "We don't covet your food......"

Liu Ci shook his head, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that I eat staple food and meat every day, and the process is not easy, only for me personally." It's like if you eat this bowl of noodles, at most it tastes good and you don't feel anything else, but for me it's different...... I grow and raise my own crops and livestock, which is special to me, can you understand? ”

I don't know each other, I have known Liu Ci for three months, and she hasn't talked much. Although the other party doesn't seem to be very old, Lydia has always worshiped her as a great swordsman, and if there is awe in her heart, there will be a distance, and this is the first time Liu Ci has explained her words and deeds to her.

Lydia couldn't tell what she was feeling for a moment.

In addition to Jeff, Liu Ci is not bad for the four of them, and after listening to Liu Ci's words, she suddenly realized after a short period of distraction. can drive a great sword master to live in the mountains to farm and raise sheep, she feels that what Liu Ci said is very likely to be true. Counting the fact that the four of them had eaten the food made by Liu Ci himself, whether it was a swordsman or a magician George, they had no special reaction to the ingredients in their stomachs, and Liu Ci's statement was corroborated.

Liu Ci is very good at protecting food, maybe these ingredients can warm her body? It doesn't look like it's hurt...... Lydia's thinking diverged, and she felt two more sympathies in her awe of the young female great swordsman.

At this time, the four Arnold also returned from hunting.

As Arnold and Jeff pull a calf together, Uncle Sam has a smile on his face.

I thought I would hunt two pheasants and hares at most, but it was an unexpected surprise to find a calf who was drinking water at night. You don't have to worry about food in the next few days, walking in the Moloch Mountains in the dark night is really infiltrating, who knows where you will meet the monsters, or follow Liu Ci to have a sense of security!

As soon as she heard Liu Ci's explanation, Lydia looked at Jeff with a less friendly look.

The female captain was thinking about a question, with Jeff's mentality, after leaving the Morok Mountains, he would definitely take revenge on Liu Ci.

Once the rumors of the "Elf Clan" and "Space Items" spread, not only will Liu Ci be in trouble, but the adventure team that has almost been wiped out will also have no ability to resist the overthrow of all forces!
