On this day, the three of them entered the mountain, and when they left the mountain, they would enter a large desert, and beyond that desert, they would not be far from the Flame Mountain.

The three of them first found a cave and settled down, planning to repair it for a few days, because both water and food were already very scarce, and if they did not complete the replenishment and entered the desert, they would die.

Guru remained behind to take care of the livestock, while Han Yan and Li Xunchou went out to find food and water.

Mountain springs are not difficult to find, food can be hunted with more prey, and some salt can be salted and used as jerky.

The two of them searched and found a small pool, although it was not large, the water was clear, and there were even some small fish in it. The pool seemed to gush out of a hole, but it was not urgent, a small stream slowly.

The two of them entered the cave and found that the space was not small, but the hole was not large, and only one person barely got in. But the interior space is comparable to that of a large house.

Hanyan whispered, "Big brother, I want to take a bath." ”

"Oh, you wash, I'll go out and see. ”

Hanyan grabbed him: "Big brother, I'm afraid we won't be able to do that kind of thing when we enter the desert." Although I can barely endure the poison, I am afraid that I will ...... when I enter the desert."

Li Xunchou naturally understood, and immediately said, "Okay, let's treat your cold poison here." ”

After Li Xunchou said this, he felt that his face was hot, not to mention the cold smoke.

It's another cloud and rain, and it's just the second time for the two of them. Although it felt very wonderful, neither of them was embarrassed to take the initiative.

No matter how thick-skinned Li Xunchou was, he couldn't take a bath with Hanyan, so he went out of the hole alone after he was done, but he also washed his body outside. It's been a month and I've felt a little stuffy without a shower. This time it was a pleasure.

After washing his body, he walked around, but he didn't dare to leave the hole, after all, there was still someone inside.

The cold smoke washed for a long time. When she came out, she was like a blooming hibiscus, and at that moment, Li Xunchou was a little stunned.

Hanyan said shyly: "Brother Li, let's bring the water bag back first." If you want to hunt, you can actually do it near the station. ”

"Good!"

When the two returned to their station, it was still early, so the three of them went out hunting together, divided into three directions, but neither of them went far. It was agreed that after the sun went down, whether it was fought or not, it would be necessary to return to the station to rendezvous.

Li Xunchou walked in the middle direction, this direction happened to stagger the waterhole, but the direction of Guru was exactly the waterhole. Li Xunchou specially told him that if he wanted to take a bath, he would go there.

After about half a mile of going out, Li Xunchou vaguely saw a living creature, and when he approached it, he found that it was actually a deer, how could there be a deer here? However, the deer was also very strange, it had no horns, and its body was tall like a donkey, but it was indeed in the form of a deer.

Li Xunchou saw that this animal looked strange and rare, so he did not hunt it. He turned to continue his search, when suddenly there was a roar and a gust of fishy wind rushed towards him. He looked at it, and it was actually a grouper python, its body was as thick as his thighs, and it scared him enough. The strange deer scurried away.

Li Xunchou dodged the attack of the python and pulled out a kitchen knife, but the python did not continue to attack, but chased in the direction where the big deer fled. Li Xun was stunned for a moment, and he was a little at a loss.

But soon he reacted and chased after the python. This big python also looks quite rare, and there is a small horn on the top of its head, he has never seen such a python.

The python moved very quickly, and soon caught up with the big deer, and rolled up the big deer in a hurry, opened its bloody mouth and bit it. The deer seemed to see Li Xunchou and roared, and the sound of its cry was like that of a donkey. Li Xun said sadly, I saved the deer, and I didn't hurt the big snake.

Thinking of this, he picked up a stone and threw it out, hitting the python's head, and the big snake did not bite down in pain, but its body was wrapped tighter. Li Xunchou didn't know what to do, and he saw a red light flying by, and it shot into the eyes of the big snake with a pop. The big snake suddenly let go of the big deer, and the big deer fled in a hurry, and the big snake fluttered and died.

When Li Xunchou looked again, the big deer ran to the side of a person, who was wearing a fiery red robe, fiery red hair, and a large fiery red beard. This person looks a lot old, but his skin is unusually clean and smooth, and Li Xunchou knows that this is a master who has turned into an outsider.

I saw that the master came to the front of the big python, stretched out his hand, and the fiery thing flew into his hand, Li Xunchou clearly saw that the fiery thing was actually a flame-shaped flying knife, exactly the same as the one that Hanyan had shown him.

"Little friend, you look like you're dressed like a native of the Central Plains, how did you get to this barren place. ”

"Oh! The junior went to the Western Regions to run errands, and passed by this place to station, intending to supply some food and water. ”

"Oh. That's right, this beast is a scourge in the mountains and wilderness, and it was saved by the old man today, so it's just right to give it to you as food. Its blood is very good, and a sip in the desert can keep you thirsty for a day. Its meat is not very full, but it is delicious, I will only take some meat for cooking, and the rest will be yours. ”

"That's a thank you guy. ”

"I don't see anything of water on you, so take some flesh from its back and give it to me, and take the rest back and bleed and skin it." ”

"Okay, thank you seniors. ”

As he spoke, Li Xunchou made a hole in the snake's back, and the snake's skin peeled off and sliced some pieces of meat. The man in red actually boasted: "Hey, looking at your knife skills, you seem to be proficient in cooking, which is rare." ”

"Shame, shame. Although he practiced martial arts, he made a living by opening a restaurant. ”

"Oh, that's a rarity. I'm also greedy, and people like me shouldn't be greedy for food. But it's really hard to taboo. Shame shame. ”

"People take food as the sky, and it is normal for our predecessors to be delicious, and there is nothing wrong with it. Li Xunchou said and put the snake meat on the kitchen knife, which was only two catties, which was really insignificant for the whole big snake. "Senior, the snake meat you wanted. ”

The man in red flipped his hand and took a basket out of nowhere, which seemed to be made of bamboo, which was particularly exquisite. Li Xunchou put the snake meat into the basket. The man in red flipped his hand again, and the basket disappeared again. Li Xunchou's eyes widened, but he didn't find where the basket went. He said in his heart that such a master is really incredible, and it seems that Hanyan's great revenge cannot be avenged.

The man in red laughed and said, "Little doll, you and I are destined, my name is Huolong Zhenren, and I will go to the Flame Mountain in the near future." If you also go here, you can find me in the Fire Cloud Cave in the Flaming Mountain. ”

"The younger generation knows. ”

With that, Huoyun turned and rode on the deer, which disappeared in the blink of an eye. Running on the hillside is like walking on the ground.

Li Xunchou coiled the big snake on his shoulders and rushed back to the station. With this big snake, you can carry food for many days, and Hanyan and Guru may be able to find some food.

When Li Xunchou returned to the station, Guru had not returned, but Hanyan was already in the cave. When she saw Li Xunchou coming up, she was not afraid of such a big python, and she also helped Li Xunchou to help.

"Brother Li, how lucky are you to find such a big snake in such a desolate place. ”

Li Xunchou smiled helplessly, and told what he had seen and heard with the fire dragon. Han Yan didn't care at all when he heard this, "Big brother, it's okay." I didn't think about revenge anyway. I just don't know why such a powerful master would kill my mother. ”

"Well, who knows. Even if I can't get revenge, I'll do my best to help you figure it out. I already know that the real person of the fire dragon happens to live in the Fire Cloud Cave in the Flaming Mountain. When the big deal comes, we ask him directly. ”

"No, if you annoy him, it's not good for you. ”

"It's okay, I'm not to be messed with. ”

Li Xunchou secretly swore that he had received such a big bargain, and he must do something for others.

The two of them began to clean up the big snake, peel the skin and cramp, collect the blood, cut the snake meat and marinate it piece by piece, and dry it on the stones outside the cave.

There are the most things to say along the way, except for sand and gravel, which is probably salt. However, some salt cannot be eaten casually, but fortunately, the Guru is quite proficient in these things, and collects a lot of salt on the way, which is specially used to make cured meat.

Hanyan found some fruits, a large bag, which could not be stored for a long time, but could be eaten for two days. In addition, I also found some mountain mushrooms, which are good ingredients for boiling soup and drinking.

Originally, both of them brought dry food, but Guru brought a large cauldron, which allowed him to cook a little. Otherwise, you will have to eat barbecue along the way.

As it was getting dark, the Gruul returned to the station. He actually carried a huge brown bear back, and it seemed that the bear had been smashed on the head by him, which was very violent.

Guru was very excited to sell well when he saw Han Yan, and Han Yan praised a few words without hesitation.

It turned out that the brown bear was already dormant, but it was turned out by the Guru alive, and it was really fateful.

It's getting late, and the trio plan to deal with the brown bear again tomorrow. Hanyan boiled some rice porridge, and Li Xunchou roasted some snake meat for everyone to open the meat first.

The next day, the three of them hunted for another day, and Hanyan still found some mushrooms, but did not pick wild fruits. This thing can't be stored for a long time, and it takes up a lot of space, so it's not good to have too much.

Li Xunchou shot a few hares. Although the meat of this northwest hare is small, the tendons are strong, and it should be more delicious to eat.

Gruul was still the last to return, this time he had come back from a wild boar.

On the third day, no one went out, and began to clean up the game, peel the skin and marinate the meat, dispose of it and collect it, and dig a pit and bury the unwanted miscellaneous pieces. The hides were not thrown away, but there were several camels anyway, and there was a place to rest.

On the fourth day, the three of them recuperated, and on the fifth day, they went on the road, and when they came down the mountain, they saw a desert that could not be seen at a glance.

In fact, you can see from the top of the mountain, most of the mountains here are very bare, with only a few scattered shrubs and wild grasses.
