108. Arrive at the swamp
Valentina came back quickly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so that when she returned, Esther had just arrived to set up the pot, take out the firewood, and light the fire. The water in the pot is not yet hot, not to mention the food in the pot.
When it comes to cooking yourself a good meal in the middle of nowhere, the most experienced of the foursome is undoubtedly Easter. Therefore, he also took over the cooking work. As for Sonya, this foodie never cares about what she eats, and the main thing she values is the amount of food.
Looking at Easter, who was busy preparing breakfast, Sonia wanted to go up to help, but was quickly driven away by Easter.
As an older sister, Sonia never cooks for the younger sisters underneath. When I'm at home, my mother cooks the food, or Ister directs a few small ones to make some food together. I have to say that Easter's energy in cultivation is not as good as cooking. Otherwise, he would never have been so slow to level up. But Esther is often able to make delicious food. This made him more prestigious among his sisters than his eldest sister. What he does best is to be the last annihilator and sweep away all the food that is left.
After more than four hours of running, Sonia felt hungry again. And there were bursts of fragrance coming out of the pot at this time, which made her swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Mora Gaudt was not very hungry in the first place, but when he reached the legendary realm, the need for food was no longer so urgent. But at this time, I was also attracted by the smell of the pot.
"What are you cooking? so fragrant?"
"I make my own base. It can be used for shabu-shabu in a while. Esther sniffed the heat of the base as he kept adding spices to the pot. This is a Coronian hot pot made by him by imitating the method of Sichuan-style hot pot in the previous world. Although the ingredients are different, the style is the same. Many of the spices in this hot pot were specially mentioned to Amanda Tsukimi and obtained from the druids' botanical treasury.
With a keen sense of smell, sight and taste, East knows every subtle change in the ingredients. It also made him an amazing culinary master.
Like Sonya, Valentina was feeling hungry. It's not that she has to eat, but at the moment of food, no legendary powerhouse will treat herself badly. She tackled the four little tails in the back like a simple walk. Even the clothes on his body did not get any dirt.
"Hurry up. Hurry up and get what you eat. Seduced by the delicious smell of the pot, Valentina reached for a large bottle of spirits. She threw her head up and poured down three or four sips, staring at Esther with fire in her eyes, as if she would drink with Esther if she didn't take out the food again.
"Alright, alright. It's ready to eat. "Esther knows not to offend the wise words of a female drunkard. He hurriedly took out two large plates of various fresh meat cut into thin slices and a large plate of various mushrooms, divided the three forks to the other three, and told them how to eat hot pot. He himself, however, took out a pair of chopsticks that had been prepared a long time ago, and quickly put food into the pot.
"Well, it tastes good!" said Mora Gault, picking up a slice of meat and tumbling it twice in the boiling water. As a legendary powerhouse who has mastered the flame realm, she is not afraid of heat at all. This also allows her to enjoy the fullest flavor of hot pot.
The wood used to make the fire is the burnt wood provided by Valentina, which is not only resistant to burning, but also has a high flame temperature, and has always been the first-class fuel for barbecue. But by this time, the flame of the burning wood could no longer boil the pot of water. Because Esther was not paying attention, Valentina poured the whole plate of food into the pot. She and Sonia forked like the wind, forking and eating all the food that Esther had continuously put into the pot, making Esther, who also wanted to feast, angry. In order to appease Easter's anger, Valentina simply poured a plate of food into the pot.
No one should eat it now, so they can only wait for the water to boil. Mora Gault glanced helplessly at Valentina, who was staring intently at the food in the pot, and snapped her fingers. A blue line of fire immediately wound around the four sides of the pot, instantly boiling the water in the pot.
Esther prepared a large clay pot, which was originally a cooking utensil for cooking porridge for the brigade in the deep valley. But he had to borrow it in order to cope with himself and Sonya, the two big stomachs. Now it seems that he was still very prescient. Because in terms of food consumption, Valentina is even bigger than the two of them combined. He took out the food one by one, and ate it from plate to plate. It wasn't until she had eaten all the ingredients for the hot pot prepared by Esther that Valentina smacked her lips and said that she was very satisfied with the meal.
"Great, I can go without food for a week again!" Varenkina uttered a terrifying statement, stroking her visibly bulging stomach. It was Moragotte who smiled and explained the original end of the sentence to the two sisters.
The Kingdom of Coronia has been recruiting warriors from the Serenti plane for hundreds of years. The humans of this humble plane are brave and simple. Because he lives by hunting, he often stops. This gives them the ability to survive and eat as long as they have food. Not eating, drinking, or sleeping for three days and three nights after a heavy meal is a very common thing for the people of the Serenti. Valentina, as one of them, can still go out hunting after a week without eating or drinking. Although Valentina has never had a meal since coming to Coronia, her ability to eat a large amount of food at once has not been lost.
During the half-hour rest of the four of them after eating, Maura Gault had been hurrying to refill his staff with energy. With the caster, these staffs, which were originally no stronger than firewood, also became valuable. Valentina generously donated a large number of high-quality mana crystals, allowing Mora Gott to quickly recharge some of the strongest staffs.
Moragotte chose a Fire Staff from a large pile of empty staffs, a fossilized Mud Staff and a Negative Energy Staff to be the first to charge. This is because fossils are mud in the complex and changeable underground areas of the road, and many times can be used to open up new paths, and the Fire and Negative Energy Staff, with the blessing of her realm power, will have an attack power far beyond that of ordinary staffs.
Watching Maura Gault preoccupied with pouring energy into his staff, it was hard for Esther to imagine that this was the woman who had allowed herself to walk on the verge of perversion. Behind him, Sonia was once again immersed in the exercise of breathing, and Valentina was already asleep.
Just when the three women, including Sonya, were focused on their own business, Esther suddenly smelled a special smell.
It was an indescribable smell, like a room suddenly sprayed with a lot of air freshener. The source of this smell is still far from them, and it is motionless. The flavor lasted for about ten minutes and then disappeared. Except for the perceptive Easter, the other three couldn't even smell it.
Strange! This smell came suddenly, and it went suddenly. Because there was always air flow in the underground passage, East couldn't be sure where the smell was coming from. But he guessed it was most likely a time-based ventilation fan. Because, according to Easter's estimates, it was exactly six o'clock in the morning when the smell appeared.
But now I don't have time to find this ventilation fan. Half an hour passed in a flash. The four of them packed their bags and got back on the road. This time, instead of using the Acceleration Technique, Mora Gault blessed everyone with Pathfinding, because it wouldn't be long before the Swamp appeared in front of them.
About half an hour later, a cool breeze blew in my face. The wind carries with it the smell of water and the smell of earth.
It didn't smell like a swamp! To Easter, the swamp was all muddy pools, and the gray-green water stunted with a suffocating stench.
But the smell of this wind shows no trace of corruption.
Soon, a wave of Lin Lin appeared in front of the eyes of the four people. In the midst of the sparkling waves are small mounds covered with various plants.
"It looks like a swamp of wetland. It was much better than I thought it would be. Mora Gault seemed relieved. "If it's a rotten bog or a poisonous bog, it's really disgusting. ”
The marshland looks very quiet. There are no terrestrial birds or water-dwelling animals. Only the ripples on the surface of the water from time to time tell people that this is not a forbidden area for life.
"Elves are said to be a clean race, and I thought they wouldn't hide in the foul-smelling swamps. Valentina was the first to walk to the water's edge and reached out to test the temperature.
"The water temperature was warm. It is estimated that there will be many fish. In such an environment, food will be abundant. ”
"Let's assemble the ship first. Esther took the pre-made timber out of his belt one by one, and urged the others to take out the prefabricated timber from the space equipment.
This is the wood that can be assembled into a small boat, and it was made by the carpenters in the deep valley in a hurry. Because of the hurry, everyone was responsible for the manufacture of only a small part of the hull. Fortunately, the weights and measures system in Coronia is very strict, so that these parts will not have too large tolerances and cannot be assembled.
In the deep valley, Esther had already tried to assemble a boat once. Therefore, this assembly can be said to be a breeze. In addition, several people were very strong, and the boat was quickly assembled.
As a final step, Mora Gault casts a reinforcement spell on the boat to prevent the gaps between the materials from leaking. Then Valentina froze the dive close to the shore. Several people pushed the boat over the ice and into the deeper water.
The boat has a shallow draft and is a type of boat that is specifically designed to pass through shallow waters. Originally, Valentina planned to make a raft and take it with her, but Esther insisted on bringing a small boat.
Esther was the first to jump into the boat, and he was to sit first, so that the elves in the shadows could see his impostor compatriot at first glance.
"This area is 50 kilometers wide. We're going to hurry. Valentina jumped in the second. She handed Esther an oar, and turned back to beckon the people behind her to get on board.
"Sophia, you and Molagot draw on the left, and Sonia and I draw on the right. Pass quickly and don't get into too much trouble. ”
"Understood. "Several people know that this swamp is by no means as calm as it seems. Hidden dangers are looming beneath the water's surface.
