Chapter 7: Jungle Distress

Kurokyu appeared at the entrance of the cave with her long knife in her hand, soaking wet.

Looking at the flickering fire in the cave, she shook her head with a look of self-reproach, the silly boy of the island owner was ready for the bonfire, but she didn't catch a single fish.

Hey, I'm so useless!

Kuro sighed faintly, if she remembered correctly, she hadn't eaten anything in three days.

Hehe, are you hallucinating from hunger?

Hei Yuzu sniffed hard, wondering how the fragrance could be so real, when he heard Lin Xuan's voice from the cave: "Sister Yuzu, are you back?"

"Well, it's me!" Kuroyu replied, dragging his tired body into the cave, but was instantly stunned by the scene in front of him.

In front of the bonfire, Lin Xuan was sitting on a stone shirtless, looking at him with a hippie smile.

However, what attracted the attention of Heiyu was of course not Lin Xuan's face, nor his slightly bulging eight-pack abs, but the delicious food that was being roasted in his hands.

The fine yellow and spicy dices worn on the branches have been roasted by Lin Xuan, exuding a burnt aroma that is difficult to refuse.

"Goo!"

Kuro swallowed, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to ask him, where did you get this fish?

Isn't it so tempting that this kid ran to the stream at the foot of the mountain in the dark to catch the fish, and then ran back to slaughter and clean the fish, and then lit a bonfire to roast the fish.

Even if there is enough time, this is incredible!

"Sister Yuzu, what are you doing in a daze? Come and sit, the fish will be roasted soon!" Lin Xuan said with a smile, "By the way, do you have any salt on you?" pepper and chili noodles are everything. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are no extravagant condiments like pepper and chili noodles on Wuyun Island, coarse salt is available, but who still carries a bag of salt with them when they go out?" said Heiyu, "Zheng", put the long knife in his hand into the scabbard, sat down on the stone that Lin Xuan had prepared for her in advance, and never took his eyes off the grilled fish in Lin Xuan's hand for a moment.

Isn't it? Pepper and chili noodles are all luxury condiments?

How poor you are!

There is only coarse salt on the island, how can you make a foodie embarrassed?

Lin Xuan's face was flushed with a faint sadness.

"Island Master, I was about to ask you, where did you get this fish?" Kuroyu swallowed again, and finally couldn't help asking, she thought, if this grilled fish could be distributed to the old people and children in the town, they would be very happy, since the fall of Wuyun Island, everyone has not eaten such a delicious taste for a long time.

Lin Xuan tore off a piece of golden and fragrant fish skin, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then handed it to the black grapefruit: "Oh, I didn't see you come back just now, so I ran to the foot of the mountain to look for you, and I happened to come across a yellow spicy dice in the stream, so I caught it back by the way." What's wrong? Is this fish poisonous?"

What Lin Xuan said was light and light, but to the sound of black grapefruit, it was a different taste.

"It's not poisonous, it's not poisonous, it's such a delicious thing, how can it be poisonous? It's just that it's so dark outside...... the expression on the face of the black grapefruit changed for a while, and he quickly took over the fish skin that was still a little hot, and licked the fish oil on the fish skin with the tip of his tongue, the fresh fragrance of the fish instantly filled the entire mouth along the tip of the tongue, so that she couldn't help but send a whole piece of fish skin into her mouth, the golden and crispy fish skin melted in her mouth, and the burnt flavor made people linger, it was so delicious!

"Yes, if it weren't for the lightning that tore through the sky and illuminated the rugged mountain road for me in time, I really can't guarantee that I will be able to return here the same way. Lin Xuan smiled, in order to better hide the system, he didn't tell Heiyu about his ability to perceive.

People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and this kind of thing that will lose their heads is better for people to know less.

When the two talked, the yellow spicy dice was roasted.

Although this yellow and spicy dice has shrunk a lot after being baked, it is enough for two people to enjoy.

Lin Xuan tore off a large piece of fish meat and handed it to the black grapefruit: "Come to Sister Yuzu, you eat a little more, and I'll catch a few when the rain stops." ”

"Then I'm welcome!" Heiyu took the fish, devoured it for a while, and ate it in a big gulp, which was a few more exaggerated than Zhu Bajie eating the fruits of life.

The fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is delicious.

It was this grilled fish that made Heiyu look at Lin Xuan with admiration, he didn't expect this foreign young man to have such a great culinary talent, and I really hope that he can be qualified for the job of the owner of the island and stay on the island forever

But......

Kuro opened his mouth, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again.

None of the previous owners of Wuyun Island had a good end, the wounded, the dead, the stupid, and the crippled!

In short, the ring on Lin Xuan's hand was like being cursed, it was very unlucky, and no one wanted to approach this ring.

The night was long, and the storm outside the cave was raging, and lightning and thunder roared.

The two gathered around the campfire, chatting and eating grilled fish.

As if the fog had been lifted layer by layer, Lin Xuan gradually had a new understanding of the strange and mysterious island world in front of him.

It turns out that Wuyun Island used to be so prosperous......

"How is it, Sister Yuzu, have you eaten enough?" Lin Xuan asked with a smile after a full hiccup.

"Well, it's been a long time since I've eaten so full!" said a satisfied smile on the black grapefruit's swarthy face against the firelight.

In the dead of night, the campfire was gradually extinguished.

Lin Xuan pillowed his arm and lay on his side at the entrance of the cave, looking at the torrential rain outside the cave in a daze.

Kuroyu, who was lying across the campfire, was holding her long knife and snoring evenly.

I don't know how long it took for Lin Xuan to close his heavy eyelids and gradually fall asleep.

......

"Owner, wake up, it's time to get up!"

In the early morning, Lin Xuan, who was still asleep, was woken up by the black grapefruit.

Lin Xuan opened his sleepy eyes, got up from the ground, yawned and walked to the entrance of the cave, stretched his sore arms, only to find that the storm that had raged all night had stopped, the dark clouds hanging overhead had long since dispersed, and the crisp birdsong came from the dead trees in the distance.

Before the sun had risen, the two began to continue on their way.

"Sister Yuzu, how long will it take to get from here to the White Bone Slope?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Continue south along the creek, over the mountain in front of you, and through a dead forest, to the White Bone Slope, and if we're lucky, we'll be there in another hour. Kuro walked ahead with her long knife on her back and said without looking back.

There are many delicate lobelia growing near Baiguopo, and lobelia is not a precious medicinal material.

But this lobelia is very delicate, it blooms at night, and when the sun rises, the petals wither.

Once the petals wither, its medicinal effect is halved, so either way, the two of them have to arrive at the White Bone Slope before the sun rises.

However, as soon as the two of them crossed the third mountain peak and were about to cross the dead forest of giant trees, they were stopped by three dirty jungle demon wolves.
