Above the depression at the end of the cave, a little drier.

Again, the three campfires were enlarged into a circle, about five or six square meters, and two adventure tents were set up in the middle, and a circular stove made of branches and sticks.

Three fire slimes had just been stuffed into the stove, and they had all been knocked out by Li Qiuzhi with the hilt of his sword.

There is a heat source in and around it, so even if there is a storm outside, it won't look so cold here.

In this way, this is a good small camp.

"Then let's change our clothes as soon as possible, if we continue like this, we will catch a cold!" Erin, the only one who didn't get wet, said with some concern.

"Uh-huh! I've been feeling sick for a long time! ”

Paimon, who was still dripping with water floating in midair, said with a smile.

"But we don't have any clothes, do we?" Ying raised her right foot, grabbed the sides of the high-heeled soles, and took off her white over-the-knee boots, revealing her slender and soft snow-white calves.

Then hang the boots on a simple drying rack built by Li Qiuzhi with branches and sticks, and the inner beveled cuff of the boot seems to contain the sea, with a steady stream of water dripping.

She's been wandering around the field since she woke up, except for the rest of her clothes.

"yes!" Paimon clutched his head in some confusion.

"It's easy to do, you go to the tent and take off your clothes first, wrap them in a thin quilt, and then I'll take care of drying them!"

Erin is still very friendly to the two new friends she just met.

"Well, that's all there is to it!" Ying and Paimon glanced at each other, then nodded, and through the time they just got along, they felt that these people were still trustworthy.

By this time, Fischl had come out of the tent to change her clothes, and she had changed into a black sleeveless tank top, and her pants had changed to light boxer shorts.

Because the booties were also wet, I could only walk barefoot on the ground before drying.

Fortunately, the ground here is not damp, and there is a fire source around, so it will not be cold or uncomfortable to walk barefoot.

As for Li Qiuzhi, there is no way to do it at all, he didn't carry clothes in his damaged backpack, he could only wear wet clothes, and it was uncomfortable, but with his strong physique, he wouldn't get sick because of this.

Next.

While the girls were busy changing clothes, Li Qiuzhi briefly dealt with the wild forest boar he had defeated at the beginning with a long sword.

His superb swordsmanship has no problem cutting pork into crystal clear thin slices.

After asking everyone's opinions, it was finally decided to make large pieces of fried meat and pork soup, and Fischl carried a pot and utensils and a little spice in the eyes of the gods.

There is a waterhole under the depression at the end of the cave, and it is raining heavily, so it is not a problem to get clean water.

So all the conditions were in place, and soon the fried meat and broth were ready, and all of a sudden the aroma of meat in the cave was overflowing.

"Wow! What a fragrant taste! ”

Paimon said as he popped his head out of the tent and drooled from the corners of his mouth.

"Paimon is reserved!"

A white hand reached out from it and pressed her head back.

"It's okay, your clothes are almost dry, and it will be no problem to bake them again."

Erin said, standing by a campfire.

On a simple hanger made of sticks and sticks, in addition to a backless dress hanging from the glow, and over-the-knee boots, there were white bloomer shorts worn under the skirt, and a burqa wrapped around the chest.

Speaking of clothes, Li Qiuzhi cooked soup and fried meat by the slime stove for a long time, and felt that his own was also dried.

Night has completely fallen.

A group of five people sat around the slime stove, putting a bowl full of broth into their stomachs, and everyone felt that their whole bodies were warm!

"It's amazing to be able to eat such delicious food in the wild!"

Paimon, who was wearing a golden tiara, said happily as he flew up in mid-air.

"Well, it's just that the fried meat tastes a little salty." Erin chewed on a piece of fried meat and gave her own thoughts.

"The broth is really delicious!"

Ying used her amber pupils to glance at Li Qiuzhi and said.

"The craftsmanship is not refined, and it really needs to be improved." Li Qiuzhi smiled and said, after all, he is not a chef who specializes in cooking, and it is not surprising that sometimes he plays abnormally.

"This princess feels fine."

Fischl said as he placed the round bowl containing the hot soup on his two snow-white thighs next to each other, feeling the heat transmitted slightly.

In the friendly atmosphere of everyone talking and laughing and getting to know each other, time is like a pocket watch that has been adjusted, and suddenly it passes.

Early in the morning, the heavy rain of yesterday afternoon had long since stopped.

Bright sunlight fell through the clouds again and fell on the faces of the few people who had already reached the entrance of the cave.

"Miss Ying, are you going to Mondstadt next?"

Erin asked at Ying and Paimon.

"Yes, yes, after all, she still has to find her brother!"

Paimon said with a smile on his hands behind his back, and Ying nodded silently.

"In that case, then we can only separate here, we still have one last thing to complete!"

Li Qiuzhi said with a smile.

He was talking about going to the "Windmill Garden" on the treasure map, which seemed to be located in the Cape of Lookout area, right next to the Valley of the Falling Stars.

And since they're all already here, let's go look for them.

Lest you go next time and waste too much time on the road.

"Alright then, we'll have a chance to eat together again in Mondstadt!" Paimon said with a smile.

"Naturally, there is no problem with this, this princess is an investigator of the Adventurers' Guild, you can find me if you talk to Catherine."

Fischl put on the short skirt that dried last night, crossed his waist and puffed up his chest slightly.

"Catherine?" Ying said with some confusion.

"It's the receptionist of the Adventurers' Guild, Miss Ying." Oz, the Night Raven, who had already recovered and reappeared, explained in place of his own young lady.

"I see."

Glowing nodded with amber eyes, then waved her hand and followed Paimon's guidance toward Mondstadt.

After Li Qiuzhi watched the backs of the two disappear from view, they also set off according to the instructions of the treasure map.

In the wild after the storm, there were very few beasts and monsters, and when they arrived at the "Windmill Chrysanthemum Garden" at noon, they met a few water slimes along the way.

Li Qiuzhi opened the golden conviction and saw that it was only seven or eight levels, and he would not give many experience points, so he continued to let Erin practice.

"Huh? Isn't this place called 'Windmill Chrysanthemum Garden', why isn't there even a Windmill Chrysanthemum? ”

Erin looked at the grassy plains in front of her, which were basically indistinguishable from the rest of the Mondstadt region.

"This princess won't be in the wrong place!"

Fischl was beside her, a night crow flapping her wings and flying, and she folded her hands under her breasts wrapped in a black silk undershirt.

"Oh, maybe there's a little guy who is mischievous?"

A chuckling voice came to everyone's ears with the warm breeze.

Before Li Qiuzhi, who was surprised, looked for the source of the sound, the breeze around him suddenly turned into a sharp wind.

A strange creature with a cyan orb in the middle, a hard outer shell, and a wind elemental visible to the naked eye around its body appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Core of the Tempest?!

Of course, Li Qiuzhi, who has played the game, knows this kind of monster, but he didn't expect to meet it here!

He looked up with golden eyes, and a number emerged above it.

[Level: Forty-Three]
