Chapter 40: Clues
Chen Heng and Xiao Bai cleaned up the battlefield a little, and after that, Xiao Bai took the initiative to walk towards the corpse of the iron-winged wolf.
I saw him take out a short sword from his bosom, slash lightly on the wolf's belly, and scratch the tough wolf skin away.
His movements were skillful, and he skinned and deboned the iron-winged wolf in two strokes.
"Xiaobai, what are you doing here?"
Although the value of the brute beasts is not low, their main purpose this time is to improve the combat ability of themselves and others while looking for Luo Shanshan.
If you carry the corpse of the slain brute beast with you, it will definitely be a burden, which has been said a long time ago.
So seeing Xiaobai's movements, Chen Heng couldn't help but be puzzled.
Xiaobai smiled: "Take the meat and barbecue, the flesh of the brute beast has enough spiritual power, which can help us recover quickly and replenish our spiritual power, which is a good thing!"
Chen Heng smiled and said, "Don't you say that I didn't pay attention, I didn't expect that you would not only be able to deal with wounds, but also be so good at this aspect." ”
"I used to practice in the mountains for a while, and it was just a little skill. ”
After a pause, Xiaobai suddenly said again: "By the way, you go and see if there is a water source nearby." ”
Chen Heng knew that he was going to clean the wolf meat, nodded and went to search nearby.
Soon he found a small stream not far away, drank a few sips, and found that the water was clear and sweet, and he was overjoyed.
Everyone was very tired just now, and with the stream here and the wolf meat filling the abdomen, they would soon be able to recover their strength, so they hurriedly went back and told everyone the good news.
At this time, Xiaobai had already divided the wolf meat, and several people took the wolf meat and moved to the stream to rest.
Chen Heng wanted to help him wash the wolf meat together, but he was refused, Xiaobai just let him rest, otherwise he would only help more and more.
Chen Heng was still a little depressed, but when he saw Xiaobai's movements, he had nothing to say.
Xiaobai washed the wolf meat in two or two, set up a wooden frame to make a fire, and began to barbecue.
He seemed attentive throughout the whole process, and it seemed like an enjoyable process for him.
And for others, it's also a pleasure to watch him concentrate on his work.
Su Ling sat on top of a stone, his hands on his cheeks, and was looking at him with a look of obsession.
Xiaobai seriously turned over the wolf meat on the shelf, and soon the surface began to turn a faint golden yellow, and the wolf meat began to ooze transparent oil droplets, and the tempting fragrance immediately began to waft away.
The firelight, with the breeze, dances slowly. Everyone looked at the burning flames, slightly distracted.
The silent air is filled with strange and alluring scents.
Chen Heng looked at Xiaobai, vaguely in a trance. Since last night, although Xiaobai looks the same as before, I don't know if there is something on his mind, and he is no longer as lively as usual.
There was a "pop" sound in the flames, and a branch burst open, and the fragrance of wolf meat became stronger.
The color of the wolf meat gradually turned golden, and a slight burnt smell emerged from the rich aroma, and the surface of the roast meat was covered with a layer of transparent light oil droplets.
Xiaobai finally turned the wolf meat a few times and said, "It's okay, there is no seasoning in the wild, the taste is a little worse, everyone will just a little." ”
As soon as Xiaobai's voice fell, Su Fan, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, immediately stretched out his hand.
With a "snap", Su Fan's hand was slapped back by Su Ling as soon as he stretched out.
Su Ling glared at him, and said angrily: "What's the hurry, people have been busy for a long time, and they haven't eaten themselves, you are embarrassed." ”
Reprimanded by Su Ling, Su Fan, who was an elder brother, scratched his head slightly in embarrassment, and smirked.
"It's okay, let's eat!" Xiao Bai also smiled slightly, cut off a large piece of it and handed it over, and cut another piece to Su Ling.
Su Ling thanked him and took it, gave Su Fan a blank look, and then began to eat.
Seeing them bow their heads and eat meat, Xiao Bai lifted the short sword again, cut off the largest right leg, and handed it directly to Chen Heng.
Chen Heng was stunned, seeing that his face was calm, it seemed that he was just doing it inadvertently, and he felt quite strange in his heart.
But he didn't say anything, he took it and asked in a low voice, "Xiaobai, are you not recovering from the fragrance of your lover's flowers last night?"
Xiao Bai was stunned, shook his head, and said, "It's just that there is still a little tightness in the chest, it's not a big deal." ”
"Wow, it's delicious, it's the best barbecue I've ever had. Su Fan gobbled it up while muttering.
"No one is robbing you again, be careful of choking!"
Su Ling was really helpless about his careless brother, but then again, Xiaobai's craftsmanship was really good.
"Xiaobai, you know so many things, even your cooking skills are so good, whoever marries you in the future will definitely be very happy. ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Xiaobai always felt that Su Ling's gaze was a little weird when he looked at him, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed: "If you like to eat, eat more." ”
Chen Heng took a bite and gave a thumbs up: "Miss Su's words are not wrong at all, even I am reluctant to leave you." ”
Chen Heng's words made Xiaobai even more embarrassed, and he said angrily: "Can't you stop your mouth after eating?"
That being said, judging from the smiling face, he was very happy.
What chef doesn't want his craft to be recognized?
Seeing others eating so happily, he was happier than eating himself.
After eating and drinking, everyone summed up their experience after fighting with the iron-winged wolf, and they all felt that they had gained a lot.
Su Ling was the most powerful in this battle, and if it weren't for her whip leg after the outburst, the situation would not be so optimistic.
If she was at a bottleneck at that time, she might have broken through directly, and that kind of super-level performance state is not something that can appear every time.
However, even if she failed to break through the realm, her cultivation was suddenly raised a lot.
As for Su Fan, who relies entirely on brute force, he also grows wise, and if he faces the same opponent in the future, he will definitely not be so embarrassed.
Chen Heng seemed to have only made three swords, but speaking of which, it was he who gained the most.
The first time he commanded the battle, he recognized his strengths and weaknesses, and the last sword also allowed him to break through the boundaries of his eyesight.
That's not something anyone can do.
Speaking of Xiaobai, although he didn't contribute much, he had experienced such a life-and-death situation, at least he could deal with it more calmly when facing a strong opponent in the future.
In short, after a battle with the iron-winged wolf, everyone has more or less gained something.
Then, Chen Heng once again spread out the animal skin map that Luo Wu gave him, pointed to one place and said to everyone: "Now we are in this position, the surrounding mountain roads are rugged and difficult, if Miss Luo is nearby, searching along the stream should be able to find clues." ”
When everyone heard this, they felt that what Chen Heng said was reasonable, and they all agreed with his point of view, and decided to focus on the direction of this creek next.
After the plan was decided, Su Ling suddenly sighed, "What do you think are the chances of Miss Luo surviving?"
Su Ling's words suddenly silenced everyone, in such a place, it was a little difficult for several of them to join forces, let alone a delicate eldest lady.
But no matter what, they still have to keep looking, right?
Chen Heng clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said: "There is always hope, as long as Miss Luo is not a stupid person, she will not do a stupid thing to send a sheep into the tiger's mouth." In my opinion, she originally just wanted to scare the owner of Luo Zhuang and them, but then she may have been dragged by something and couldn't get out for a while. ”
"When we get used to the environment here, let's speed up the search, as long as she is alive, we can always find her!"
In the end, no one knows whether they can find it, but at least a few days have passed, and Chen Heng and they still have no clues.
A few days are fleeting.
During this time, Chen Heng and others searched along the stream, and although they failed to find anything, they gradually adapted to this high-risk living environment.
During this period, they fought several fierce battles in a row, although Su Ling's legs and feet were still a little inconvenient, but the brute beasts they encountered were far less powerful than the Qingfeng Iron-winged Wolf, so they were still able to deal with it relatively easily.
Of course, injuries are always inevitable, and at this time, Xiaobai's existence is particularly important.
He not only solved the problem of wounds for everyone, but also acted as a professional chef.
With the brute beast meat tonic with spiritual power, that little injury is not a problem at all.
Under this kind of high-intensity battle, everyone's strength is gradually improving, and the most obvious is the Su brothers and sisters.
Su Ling was because of the perception of the first battle, and then his strength improved very quickly, but Su Fan was in the front every time, similar to being abused in battle, and it was impossible not to improve.
Chen Heng's ability to command battles is also increasing day by day, and his vision is gradually vicious, and he can always catch the enemy's weaknesses at critical moments, and kill him with a sword, which is truly a good example.
On this day, as on that day, after a fierce battle with the brutes, they rested by the stream.
The stream is babbling and winding down the mountain, and schools of small fish chase and play leisurely in the crystal clear water.
There are large areas of beach forest by the stream, and the bamboos are holding hands, shoulder to shoulder, standing in the beach forest, like a "guardian saint" guarding the river.
After eating the delicious food roasted by Xiaobai and relieving the fatigue of the day, Chen Heng sat comfortably on the stone by the stream. Thinking about the harvest of the past few days, I can't help but have a trace of longing.
According to this progress, after a month, it should not be difficult for him to be reborn and enter the sect.
"Look, everyone, it looks like there's something!"
Suddenly, Su Fan's words attracted everyone's attention, and he looked in the direction of his finger.
Upstream of the stream, there is a green thing floating leisurely, along the stream, from far to near.
"What's that?"
Chen Heng looked at it suspiciously, in this deep mountain, there were few people, and suddenly something went down the river, abrupt and weird.
"Xiaobai. ”
Chen Heng shouted, Xiaobai understood, trekked into the water, and scooped up the things.
Xiaobai turned around and said strangely: "It seems to be a woman's veil or something." ”
At this time, everyone can really see that it does look like a woman's veil, but it is already broken.
"Is it?"
Chen Heng's heart moved, and he beckoned everyone: "Let's go, let's go upstream and have a look." This may not be Miss Luo's. ”
In such a place, something that should not have appeared suddenly appeared, Su Fan and the others also thought of going with him, and they all showed excitement on their faces.
"Brother Chen. ”
While Xiaobai followed, he said cautiously: "This may not be Miss Luo's, we have to be careful." ”
"This barren mountain and wilderness are rarely inhabited, will there be anyone else besides Miss Luo?" Chen Heng pondered for a moment and said, "But we should be careful, everyone be on guard." ”
A group of four people went upriver and searched upstream of the stream.
