Chapter 124: On the Way
It didn't take long for them to return.
Behind Flower's back, he also carried a pheasant, whose blood had dried up, and which appeared to have been killed by a crossbow arrow.
Before he could get to him, Flower shouted: "Jiayi, your crossbow is really useful, you see, a pheasant on the road was pierced through the heart by me with an arrow." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the pheasant and shook it at Kaichi.
"Where is the heart, do you know where the chicken heart is?" Jia began to pick the thorns, "** Hair plucked out, why do you bring it back directly." ”
Among the few people in this, Flower has the best physical strength, after all, he was trained according to the orthodox knight when he was a child, although he has been learning magic all these years, but the foundation is still there, and after learning Tai Chi with Jiayi, he has been practicing.
So his physical condition is the best.
As for Jia Yi, although he has practiced Tai Chi for the longest time, the things he has practiced similar to internal force are not internal forces after all, and he can't fly the eaves and walk on the wall to bless the strength. It's a lot better, otherwise he and Dale wouldn't be able to keep up with the rhythm of Imu, especially since everyone is carrying a big bag of luggage.
"Dai'er, have you taken a breath? Stand for a while to recover your strength and calm your spirit. "Then I'm going to find some wild vegetables or something." ”
Dale glanced at Jia Yiyi, saved the strength to speak, and began to stand on the pile.
This effect of the standing pile was discovered by Jia Yi in the past two years, and the standing pile can speed up the recovery of mana and greatly restore physical strength in combination with breathing. This skill is still very useful in the field.
He already uses breathing at the same time as he meditates, which makes his meditation much more efficient, but meditation is demanding and requires quietness. If you can meditate in a stake, it can be useful to replenish your magic in a complex environment.
However, this is more demanding, and he has not yet learned it.
Dai Er went to the stump to rest, and Jia began to boil water, not only to cook, but also to boil the water and let it cool down.
Even if a few people are well prepared, there is never too much water.
The dry food in the Jia area is dead dough cake, similar to the naan of Xinjiang, but it is even harder than that. Mainly for easy carrying, if you pack bread, the same weight and volume is at least several times, and the bread has more moisture, and it is easy to break.
Jia Yi's craftsmanship is not good, although it is made in imitation of naan, but it is not as fragrant as naan, so crispy, and it is somewhat similar to the steamed bun of mutton soaked in the bun, and it has to be soaked in soup to be delicious.
When Flower came back from taking care of the chickens, Dale's stump was almost gone, and most of her physical strength had recovered, and the two of them went out together to find some wild vegetables and mushrooms, and it would be better if they could hunt another prey. The dry food brought is not much, of course, it can be saved.
After lunch, they set up a simple shed and rested until the afternoon before continuing their journey. The weather was still too hot, and although the sun was much blocked in the dense forest, it was still unbearable.
"Teacher, there is no magic to prevent heat and cool down? We are too embarrassed to have the demeanor of a magician at all. Walking on the road, Kaichi complained.
"Of course this kind of magic exists, but it doesn't last long enough, unless it is made into permanent magic equipment, if you want to maintain it for a long time, you need to keep re-releasing it, and it will take a bit more mana. Do you want me to spend all my magic to cool you down, and then be swallowed by a beast that suddenly appears or something?"
Imu said as he walked, without a pause.
"Teacher, aren't you afraid that we will suffer from heat stroke? Why don't you prepare some magic props in advance? It shouldn't be difficult?" said Dale, who was the hardest to endure because of her gender and age.
"I'm here to train you, everything is done, what's the point, we're out on adventure, not traveling. ”
Although he said this, Jia Yi didn't know why he heard a taste of emptiness.
They traveled every morning and evening, rested at noon, and went on like this for a week.
Although I have been saving food, I still eat almost enough dry food. Because I always feel that there is still dry food, I don't bother to spend too much energy on hunting, unless I meet it on the way.
But animals in the wild are not stupid, and most of the first reaction when they see people is to run away, plus this place can be regarded as deep into the mountains, and the trees are very dense, and it is easy to use crossbows to set up in trees. If it weren't for the fact that Jiayi's tentacles were long enough, the arrows might not be enough. Imu's spells are a bit too wasteful if they are used for hunting, and they need to be kept in shape to avoid accidents at all times.
Now there is not much dry food, so I can only put it all away and save it for later in case of emergency.
As a result, I now have to spend a lot of energy hunting every day, which makes my walking speed much slower. But fortunately, a few people don't actually have a clear destination, so it's good to wander slowly.
It was mainly Im who imparted experience to the three students and taught them some skills. For example, how to be vigilant, how to tell if food is poisonous, how to distribute mana, and other tips for using mana.
Although the three students didn't learn much magic, even this period of study made their ability to survive in the wild a lot stronger, and if they didn't die and encounter great danger, it would be no problem to survive alone in the wild for three or five months.
"Teacher, there's a lot of water in front of you, let's go over and take a look. Take a break, take a shower or something, it's so slimy right now. ”
As soon as he heard the sound of a stream of water crashing from a distance, the sound was particularly loud. I don't know if there is a big current or a high drop ahead.
In the woods, it is not often possible to bathe, mainly because not all water sources can be bathed, and if you are not careful, you are likely to be attacked by snakes or ferocious fish in the water, especially in some watersheds where there are parasites, and the parasites are too small to be observed with the naked eye.
So Jiayi and they haven't taken a bath for 3 or 4 days, especially every day they are sweaty, and they feel a little rancid. Now that I hear the sound of water, I can't help but want to run over and take a shower.
Although Kaichi had already heard the sound of water, it did not mean that they were very close to the river. They kept going on until they reached the river after a while.
It was said to be a river, but it was actually a waterfall, so Jia Yicai heard the sound from afar.
The waterfall is not very high, 7 or 8 meters long, and the water flow is not large, and the water left behind is like a thin veil hanging in front of the cliff. Below the waterfall is a deep pool, and the water flows down and makes a big splash.
The water looks clean, but everyone knows that you can't just look at the surface, and you can't spot any parasites in the water. Fortunately, with Imu, the use of magic can be a good way to check the water area and avoid accidents.
"Teacher, just take a break here, I feel like I'm about to stink. Kaichi said.
Because he hasn't taken a bath for a long time, he can catch salt grains in his hair, forehead, sideburns and other places, and licking his lips will feel particularly salty.
Seeing that everyone was tired, mainly sweating, Im said, "Then here, let's go and camp on the hillside over there, don't get too close to the water source." Flower came and checked the water source with me to see if it was safe and fixed it here. ”
"Watch out!"
He finally gave him a word of advice, and went to the pool under the waterfall. The water in the pool looks very deep, and the black and swarthy cannot be seen to the end, which shows that this pool is not washed out of the waterfall, and the water flow of this waterfall is too small to rush out of such a deep pool.
There are no animal footprints on the edge of the pool, and there don't seem to be any animals coming here to drink water. It is also possible that there is a lot of rain in the summer, and the animals that drink water do not gather together.
Im unleashed a detection spell that did not reach the bottom of the pool, but he did not feel any magical reaction, which proved that there were no magical beasts in it, at least.
Security has been greatly improved.
Back at the camp, Jia Yi and Dai Er are setting up their tents.
He was about to speak, when Flower ran over from the other side and hurried: "Teacher, look over there, there's something." ”
