"The Feng family will inevitably take the opportunity to make trouble this time and bite a large piece of meat from the Zhang family. And the reason is justified, with the current strength of the Zhang family, it is irresistible.

There will definitely be a trend within the Zhang family - through marriage, ceding relatively small interests in exchange for help from other families.

As for the candidates for marriage...... Obviously, it will be Zhang Xingyao; The benefits of the cession naturally came out of the resources controlled by Zhang Xingyao.

But Zhang Xingyao will definitely not sit still, this is a crisis, and it is also her opportunity."

Shen Nanxi said, picking up a skewer of barbecue from the campfire.

"Zhang Xingyao already controls a lot of resources?" Chen Qing interjected and asked.

"Well, her father has always been a famous gentleman in Lin'an, and her mother was married by a small family. In this room of her family, it was not until she grew up and sensible that she gradually withdrew her power and resources, relying on herself." Shen Nanxi replied.

Pretty good, huh...... Chen Qing secretly praised, and then asked, "If I ask Elvia to stand up for Zhang Xingyao, will her chances of winning be greatly increased?"

Shen Nanxi shook her head, "You can let Elvia help once, what about the second time?" And what about the third time? After all, she is not a member of the Zhang family, and this is just delaying the problem a little.

And this may make Zhang Xingyao lose the supporters of the clan who originally fell to her, because the introduction of strong reinforcements itself means sacrificing the interests of the family. Although Elvia must have helped out in friendship, the Zhang family will not believe it."

"It's really complicated and troublesome." Chen Qing scratched his head, "It seems that I really can't help at the moment, I still believe in Zhang Xingyao's own ability."

"I can still help a little, at least if she fails completely, you can find Elvia to rescue her." Shen Nanxi comforted.

"Then I hope I don't help like this." Chen Qing smiled bitterly.

"Alright, don't be sad. With Elvia's backing, Senior Sister Zhang Xingyao lost some resources at most. You have participated in the drill well, and your strength has improved, what do you want?" Dong Qingcheng explained.

"Well, eat meat and eat meat." Chen Qing nodded, picked up the remaining bit of barbecue in his hand, and continued to eat.

While eating, the three of them began to talk about light topics, and it was not until ten o'clock in the evening that the campfire barbecue feast ended.

Shen Nanxi ate the last string of black-maned demon pork, washed his face with stream water, and lay down in a tent made of hay and branches.

"The rest of the time is left to you young people~ Wait for the second half of the night and then call me to get up and watch the night."...

With that, she slept on the fluffy haystack without any twist.

Chen Qing looked at Shen Nanxi, who had already fallen asleep, thinking of her previous ridicule, and then at Dong Qingcheng beside her, she suddenly felt that she had lost the natural state she had when she was alone before.

He didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to find something to do: "Let's put out the bonfire and raise a little fire."

"yes, okay."

Dong Qingcheng answered, and together with Chen Qing, he folded a large piece of plant leaves to hold water, and wasted a lot of time to extinguish the remaining bonfire.

A fire the size of a washbasin rose a little farther away.

Chen Qing and Dong Qingcheng sat side by side on two logs, the faint light of the fire illuminating their figures, leaving two staggered shadows behind them.

After a toss to extinguish the fire, Chen Qing finally adjusted his mentality, and the relationship between the two became natural again.

"Tangerine, have you ever heard of the Rock Armor Red Monitor Lizard?" Chen Qing asked casually as he pulled the charcoal in the fire with the wooden stick in his hand.

This is the main quest objective that he refreshed two days ago:

【Gourmet Hunting System】

[Main quest 8: The host is detected to be located in the southwest region of Xuanguo, and the local humidity is too heavy, so let's sweat after eating some hot pot]

[Quest Step 1: Hunt the mid-second-order demonic beast - Rock Armor Red Monitor Lizard]

[Quest Step 2: Collect 100 Wild Mushrooms from the Warcraft Great Forest]

[Task Step 3: Make and Eat a Hot Pot]

[Quest Support: Recipe "Secret Mushroom Soup Pot Bottom"*1, Dimensional Fresh-keeping Bag*1]

[Task Reward: First-Order Strength Cultivation Progress Pushed to 100%]

It seemed like an ordinary mission, but he looked up the information on the Internet in the camp and found that the rock armor red monitor lizard was extinct tens of thousands of years ago - at least in the area that humans had explored.

Where can I find this?

After wandering around this drill area for two days, I didn't trigger any special events to encounter this kind of magical beast. Chen Qing, who had no clue, began to ask Dong Qingtang, wanting to see what clues the well-informed Miss Dong had any clues.

"Rock carapace red monitor lizard? I remember that the Museum of Ancient Biology in the Southwest Province had a collection of its fossils." Dong Qingcheng thought for a moment and replied.

Good guys, what's the use of fossils? Could it be that I went to the museum to steal the shabu-shabu? If this is caught, I am afraid that it will not be a bureau, but a mental hospital......

Chen Qing complained in his heart, while diverging his thinking, he even thought of it: After the stolen goods are recovered and returned to the museum, the children who will visit in the future will ask their mothers strange questions-

Mom, Mom, are the fossils hot pot flavored? Can I take a bite?

He quickly shook his head, cleared the mess out of his mind, and asked, "Do you know where that fossil from the museum was unearthed?"

"It seems to be around here, hmm......" Dong Qingcheng struggled to recall, "a village called Nanyu, which they donated to the museum."

"Nanyu Village." Chen Qing pinched his chin.

It is impossible for the system to give an unfinished task, and this stockade where the fossil of the rock armor red monitor lizard was found happened to be nearby, and he estimated the clues of the mission target, and Bacheng was waiting for him there.

I had to find a way to go to that village to investigate, but after the accident, the school was more strictly controlled, and I couldn't get out of the camp and drill circle at all...... Chen Qing began to think about how to get out of the school's control.

He turned his head to look at Shen Nanxi, who was sleeping, and then said to Dong Qingcheng in a demagogic tone, "Nanyu Village is the village of the Wu Clan, right? Tangerine, it's rare to come to the southwest, don't you want to take a look?"

Dong Qingcheng was instantly alert: "I don't want to, I'm blind and can't see."

Chen Qing: ......

Feeling his frustrated and speechless emotions, Dong Qingcheng chuckled, and then said seriously, "You tell me what you're going to do first? Wouldn't it be refining strange cultivation pills again?

You've been collecting all kinds of poisonous mushrooms for the past two days, and you've been asking for news about the monitor lizards that have long been extinct. Let me tell you, if you take those strange pills again, I won't care about you! Last ......"

"Stop, stop!"

As soon as he heard Miss Dong start preaching, Chen Qing suddenly felt his brain "buzzing", and quickly interrupted: "I don't refine medicine, I don't practice. It's just that I'm more interested in the Wu village."
