When morning came, Alicia went to consult with the other two groups about a joint operation, which they quickly agreed, and then after breakfast they gathered the group, and instead of shopping slowly, as they had done yesterday, they began a rapid march.

It is said that it is a rapid march, but in fact it is not very fast. Alicia didn't ask the crowd to use vindictiveness or magic to hurry, just a sheer stride. Even so, they had outtaken several teams by close to noon and were well out of the bottom position.

Fabiano didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this situation, and finally came up to Alicia in embarrassment after she announced that she was resting in place, and asked, "Now, Elicia." We have neither acceleration nor shortcuts, so why are the teams that were ahead by a large margin yesterday being overtaken? And they look languishing, could it be that they ran out of mental energy in one day yesterday?"

Little Lori sat down on a rock at random and said, "Ah, that, just go and watch the daily light comedy in our team." ”

Is it the funny couple combination of the classic tsundere lady and the classic dull common man who was plagiarized from which light novel by the undisciplined operator? Fabiano turned his head in a cold sweat while wondering if it was because they had done some loving exercise that was good for physical and mental health last night, and then squirted decisively.

"Hello!"

"Hey, Miss, aren't you, you just slept in the wild for one night and immediately caught a cold? ”

"Ulusai! Last night's temperature was so low that ordinary people would catch a cold. Only a rough commoner like you, who is only strong in physique and worthy of complacency, will look indifferent. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. I'm a stupid guy who is strong and will never get sick. So, the delicate lady, can you please clean your nasal cavity before you speak?"

"What are you kidding, how can Miss Ben be in full view...... Hey, what are you going to do!?"

"Come on, I'll blow your nose for you. ”

"You stupid commoner, who allowed you to lean over casually——!"

Fabiano, who vaguely understood something, was suddenly scorched by a thunderbolt from nine days away, and asked cautiously: "Uh, could it be that all the people in those teams are ......?"

"That's right, they're all cold!" Little Lori clenched her fists and raised them to the sky and said loudly, "Thank you to all the officials in the world who eat and take kickbacks." It is precisely because of your perseverance in implementing the procurement policy of only choosing the expensive ones and not the right ones, and only looking at the quantity of gifts and not the quality of the goods, that all the contestants were very honored to use these camping bedding that can only be used against autumn tigers in the wild at night when the temperature reaches several degrees below zero. How much do you guys want to watch, because it's too cold, and in the end the two of them have to huddle together, share the bed, stir the foundation, share the lily, and even the night scene of loving overturning and popping, how can it be repaired!"

"In every sense of the word, I can only obey and complain. ”

After sending the speechless Fabiano away, Alicia looked around. Compared to yesterday, the number of pumice rocks overhead has increased significantly. However, the vegetation on it is still not very lush, and there is no so-called white fog in the sky.

The bottom of the valley is still desolate, but in the vicinity, little Lori found a very interesting little animal - it looks a bit like a tanuki, lives in the stone crevices or stone caves at the bottom of the valley, is very alert, and will immediately slip away at the slightest disturbance. It climbs along the vines to the pumice rocks to feed when it is safe to do so, but it's not clear what exactly the loli is in its recipe, but it's probably mostly plants and insects. ...,

[If Mao'er is here, she will definitely hold those little things and love them. 】

"Alright, let's move on. Ten minutes later, Alicia stood up and grabbed her backpack. "Try to catch up with one more team before lunch!"

Since there was a dead poplar near the camp last night, only the eldest lady of the three combined teams that were able to light a bonfire had a slight cold, and the others were rejuvenated after the morning sun, so they were very energetic, while the other teams were unlucky, and they were almost frozen all night, dragging their thick snot and heavy steps to barely move forward, but their speed dropped sharply, and they could only watch the little Lori and them catch up.

However, it was clear that some of the other teams had noticed that something had gone wrong with the previous night, and as she was on her way in the afternoon, she saw several teams stop to gather firewood for the night's fire.

After walking a little further, William, who was in the front, stepped back to Alicia's side and suggested, "The idea of those contestants gathering firewood for the evening fire is a good idea. It's evening now, shall we get some firewood too?"

"Don't. Brother William. Alicia hurriedly waved her hand, "We are a union of three teams, which means we need three firewoods. Collecting so much firewood in such a barren place is not an easy task, and it will take us more than three times as long as those people. ”

"What then. You can't expect to find another dead tree today, can you?" said William, "the temperature at night is really no joke. Didn't you know very well that you went to sleep by the campfire last night? Without a bonfire, we will definitely be the same as the team that passed in the morning!"

Hearing this, Alicia immediately raised her head and changed her face to a suspicious expression: "If you don't say it, I almost forgot." You stayed up for the rest of the night yesterday, did you do something strange while I was asleep?"

"No, and you're wrapped in a sleeping bag, you can't do it even if you want to. William said with a frenzied face, "Why did the topic change to this!?"

"No?" said Lori when she lowered her head and stretched out her hand to press her flat chest, "Okay, maybe because I don't have enough here, so there is no obvious bulge on the outside of the sleeping bag, so you didn't become a wolf." But that doesn't mean you won't take the opportunity to tweet on my forehead, the bridge of my nose, my cheeks, or even my lips. Hurry up and tell me the truth about whether you did it or not!"

William grabbed Alicia's dumb hair, causing her face to change dramatically, and immediately quieted down: "I swear in the name of the creator god that I have never done such a dirty thing. So, my beautiful little queen, may I now take a word about the night fire?"

"Ahaha, they're just kidding. After a standard cute smile, Alicia quickly rescued the stupid hair and said, "Actually, Brother William, you don't have to worry, I have already thought about the solution to the firewood problem tonight." ”

After a few minutes.

"Spend the night on the pumice rock!?" William said loudly as he looked at the girl in front of him with a shocked face, "Are you crazy!?

Little Lori patted William's arm and said confidently: "It's okay, we won't consume any energy." My headband restores its magic extremely quickly. Therefore, I was in charge of the backup when occupying the pumice rock, and as for the main attack to Ilya, it was a waste to put the 3-minute superman transformation skill once a day without it. In this way, there is no danger in the battle, and this place is not outrageous to the extent that the level 6 Sword Saint Enclosure will also provoke the ultimate boss. And dealing with the night harassment of wild beasts is very simple, just light a pile of firewood at the vine that serves as a bridge. ”...,

William pondered for a while and nodded, "It is indeed a very good plan. But what if it was a monster that came to attack them? They weren't ordinary beasts, and the flames had no deterrent effect on them. ”

"Powerful demonic beasts don't live on the barren pumice rocks that live on the periphery, they are all in the deeper resource-rich areas. Alicia touched her suddenly growling belly and blushed, "Well, by the time we see the beast, we're almost halfway there." For now, let's leave those curious creatures alone, find a suitable pumice rock and shoot it down and prepare to set up camp. ”

William couldn't help but chuckle lightly and quipped, "Aren't you thinking about cakes, cheese, muffins, puddings, cheese, ice cream, chocolate, etc., today?"

“...... You're actually helping the author cheat the word count. ”

——————————————————I'm a dividing line——————————————————

The location of the pumice rock that everyone finally chose was relatively remote, and it was only connected to the other pumice rocks, which was definitely a good place to defend and difficult to attack.

The problem is that it doesn't have a vine that connects to the canyon floor.

Alicia stood on tiptoe with her staff and looked up in her hands on the pergola for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem, it's a large carnivorous cat that lives here. It looks like a mountain rock leopard...... Damn, if only the mercury lamp were here, she'd definitely know that guy. ”

"That must belong to the beast, and you still say it's not a big problem!?" Fabiano said scratching his scalp vigorously, "Did you go through too much wind and waves or am I just making a fuss?"

William walked over and explained, "No, Alicia is right. Large carnivores usually live alone, and although they are dangerous, there will never be a second one nearby. As long as we fix it, this pumice rock can basically be said to be safe. And this should be a young leopard that has just grown up, because it can't grab the turf before coming to the periphery. ”

Alysia took two steps forward and patted Ilya on the back: "Let's go." Let us negotiate with that little fellow by force in a harmonious and friendly atmosphere about the night's stay. ”

Are you sure it's an amicable negotiation!?

The rattan has a strange touch, both like a wooden plant and a bit like artificial leather. Alicia lay on its surface and didn't use much force to stay stable, without sliding down the stem and falling to the ground, turning into mosquito coils, her buttocks turned upwards, and her skirt flipped open to show signs of fatness.

The two quickly climbed onto the pumice rock.

"Ah, it's nice to have an accident here. Alicia casually stepped on the ground and said, "A mixture of rock and soil, certainly much more comfortable than last night's rocky field." And these plants that can be used as ingredients... Wow. There's a tube grass over there! It's a precious water-storing plant!"

Ilya pointed to another adjacent pumice rock, and the mountain rock leopard who was looking at the two of them with a fierce eye on the other adjacent pumice rock, said to little Lori, "That." Elysia. Shouldn't you be a little more restrained in front of your master?"

"It doesn't matter. Have you seen a few weird uncles who robbed houses with lollipops, and they were full of kindness, and said softly to the cute Lori who was trembling and shrunk into a ball, "Please hand over your fat time?"

When the young man heard this, he could only cover his forehead in embarrassment and smile bitterly.

The heavily provoked mountain rock leopard roared in a low voice, jumped high and rushed towards the pumice rock where the two were located.

The following scene was clicked off by the river crab due to [beep-]. ...,

The little leopard, whose head was covered in red envelopes, was soon running away in tears, and Ilya, who had just put on a stance, didn't even have time to count the black spots on the other party's body - as for the transformation skill, it was even more impossible to use it.

After driving out the rulers of the area, most of the remaining critters were small animals that could not pose a threat to humans, such as the birds that made their home in the vegetation. The two of them examined their surroundings carefully, and Ilya stood on the edge of the pumice and rushed down, waving to the waiting crowd to signal that they could come up.

William, who was the first to climb up, couldn't help but whistle at the sight before him, and then walked up to Alicia and reminded, "After driving away the owner of the territory, this place will soon be watched by other animals, and we must complete all preparations before then." ”

"I know, it's not going to take long. ”

The team that climbed the pumice rock was formed on the second day of the competition, and Alicia, who was in charge, asked the girls to collect edible plants and fresh water. The boys are responsible for preparing firewood – although there are few woody plants in this barren soil, it is much better than at the valley bottom. Finally, before dark, a dozen boys and girls arrived at the predetermined pumice rock with very rich supplies, and began to prepare for camp.

Due to the pathway. Perhaps there was only one vine, where a pile of firewood was needed to drive away the beasts, and the rest of the firewood, though not used, was carefully tied up by the people under the instructions of Alicia for later use.

Four bright bonfires soon lit on the pumice rock, about the size of two classrooms.

"Fresh wild vegetables, fresh water in the tube, and delicate and durable pans. Wow, can you get hot food tonight?"

"Hmph, don't get me wrong, Miss Ben just accidentally put too many ingredients in it occasionally, so she didn't make it for you!

“...... Uh, may I ask Miss, have you ever cooked with your own hands before?"

"How is it possible, a noble daughter of a noble status like me naturally leaves the chores to the servants around her to complete. ”

"Understood. I'm going to continue to nibble on bread with water tonight. ”

"Hey, what do you mean by that!?"

In Alysia's case, the situation inside the pan looked as good as the tsundere lady next to her.

William looked at the mosaic in the pot in embarrassment and was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "That, Alicia, what is this?"

"What else could it be, of course, boiled wild vegetables. Alicia looked up at William, her face was not red, her heart was not beating, and she replied in a very firm tone.

"No matter how confident you face it, I can't change the fact that the things in the pot are smoking!" William said with a light knock on the top of Little Lori's head, "What kind of curious skill does it take to steam the water in the pot and turn the wild vegetables inside into a charcoal-like mosaic!? It's a magical talent to be able to make food look like this, OK beauty, I see, please put down the cooking utensils in your hand before you finish consuming the precious ingredients, and I'll do the rest?"

Hearing this, Alicia immediately pursed her lips, flashed a pair of big watery eyes with grievances, and said with an expression that seemed to cry at any time: "Ellie, I just want to cook some food with my own hands to treat everyone." In the end, I accidentally failed. After a few more attempts, I won't be able to do it like this again, Brother William, you can let the family continue. ”

William decisively snatched the pan and turned his face to the side, turning his eyes to the side and saying, "You, even if you sell cute, it's useless!"

I think the effect is very good!

After the tool was snatched, Alicia could only smack her lips in a little unpleasantness, and after making sure that William could no longer let herself continue to toss the poor wild vegetables, little Lori stood up and went to the edge of the pumice rock, letting the pleasant evening breeze blow her hair and dress, and casually watching the distant scenery.

The bottom of the valley was plunged into darkness. The bonfire lit by the team behind Alysia did not see it, presumably the distance between the two sides was already very long. Some birds chirped and flew from the direction of the savannah. They all landed under the pumice rocks not far away - yes, not the top. The birds have carved holes in the lower part of the pumice rock to make their nests, and from a distance they look like a giant honeycomb.

[It seems that everything is going well so far, if only it were really that simple.] Anyway, this is Draenei's territory, and the little prophet who specializes in predicting the weather that I met last time can we see it again this time? What is the feeling of restlessness in my heart since late last night, and I always feel as if something is going to happen. After the meeting, you must ask him to help figure it out!]

"It's time to eat!" William cried out by the campfire, "come and try my craft." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
