[Through] Delicious Journey

Chapter 67

Almost as soon as it stopped, the space below was empty, and the car disappeared in front of my eyes.

Everyone has already experienced this kind of cheating situation, and it's no surprise at all. Fanmi's hands and feet were nimble, and the moment he landed, he straightened up and stood firmly.

The backpack on the car fell down with a thud, and there were several muffled sounds on the green grass.

Ying Cui rubbed her buttocks and stood up, blinked, took a few steps forward quickly, squatted down somewhere on the green ground, and reached out to pick a tender grass, "I don't mean this is the plain of clover shortbread, I think this thing is the same as Ordinary flowers and plants are not bad."

Zhuo Zhifei picked up his bag consciously. After yesterday's bowl of chicken and mushrooms, he didn't dare to provoke Ying Cui anymore.

"You have to get closer to see it." Zhuo Zhifei walked over, "The most common thing here is clover shortbread, but there are also a lot of other ingredients."

The 3 hours that the car can last has passed, and for the next 3 hours, before the car can materialize, they will continue to walk on their feet.

Fortunately, the plains are here, and it won't be boring to gather while traveling.

"Tell me about the special products." Ying Cui looked around to see if he could find some easy-to-process ingredients.The dried incense has been divided up in the car, and now he needs to find new snacks to pass the time.

"Of course it's clover shortbread." Zhuo Zhi flew back with a look of "you are stupid", "Hey, I have it." His eyes lit up, he stepped forward quickly, stretched out his hand to pull out a clover, and his posture looked the same as Ying Cui is similar, but the things in his hands are much more high-end.

Clover shortbread got its name because most of them grow in clover bushes and look like clover.

"There is a large area here." Ying Cui also found it.

The crispy yellow dough, the dim sum made up of three drops of water, is generally larger than the clover, and the color is prominent, and it is easy to see when the sun shines.

"Crispy, quite fragrant, with the taste of sweet potato chips." Ying Cui picked one, and found that the shortbread was not as thick as imagined, but a bit like pancakes. Although the shape was rounder than the usual clover, it still looked Exquisite, the three petals are almost similar, and it is impossible to conjure which is which with the naked eye.

Zhuo Zhifei gave Ying Cui a strange look. What are sweet potato chips? Why can I always hear so many strange words coming out of Ying Cui's mouth?

"Brother Ying, there's a big one here too." Chabe called out not far away, "Shall we pick it?"

Ying Cui got up, and looked into the endless grassland in the distance with a glance. It was a vast expanse, where the sky and the earth meet. Occasionally, a few animals with strange shapes wandered past leisurely.

"Don't pick it up yet, we still have to go for a while, and we'll pick some for snacks when we get on the bus." Ying Cui thought for a while, then shouted back, then turned around and asked Zhuo Zhifei, "We're going to wear it next." across this plain?"

"En." Zhuo Zhifei nodded, "Go straight to the north and reach the Meidi Highland, not far from Miguo Town."

After finishing their lunch, a group of people checked the map and walked north after confirming that it was correct.

In the clover shortbread plain, clover is naturally the most cropped crop, followed by Artemisia saffron.

They are now facing such a problem.

Although there are many clover, they are not tall after all, and they do not pose any threat to the walking of the few people. But Artemisia sativa is different. Its plants are taller than the top, and the shortest is above the knees, let alone a child like Chabei. It is inconvenient for Zhuo Zhifei to walk.

"There are only two ways now." Zhuo Zhifei looked at the densely packed Artemisia annua and had a headache, "One is to go straight, or go around." He tilted his head to estimate the area of ​​the Artemisia group, thinking about which way to do it It saves time.

"Must we pass by here?" Ying Cui frowned. He just looked at them and looked at the two sides of the Artemisia Group from their origin. He couldn't find the end at all. In other words, it would take no more time than them to bypass this obstacle. There are few crossing plains, and what's more, cars can still be used on the plains, but not here.

"From the map, this is the shortest way. Strange, there should be a village nearby." Zhuo Zhi flew off the chain at the critical moment, and spread his hands helplessly, "Well, I haven't been here before, so I don't know."

"..." Not clear?Ying Cui just wanted to flip the table. Is this guy really ashamed to say that he is a hunter and accept this task?Although it's only one star, can't you act professionally? !

He wants to complain, complain!

"Hush..." Just as Ying Cui was so angry that he stuffed clover shortbread into his mouth, Zhuo Zhifei suddenly made a silent movement.

Fan Mi was shocked, his expression changed.

On the huge plain, there are Artemisia bushes half a person's height on one side, and a gentle slope with rustling green grass on the other. Only the wind gently blows, sending indescribably cold.

When everyone was quiet, the surrounding movements became clearer.

Ying Cui kept Cha Bei by her side, holding her breath and watching the movement around her.

"Srustling." There was a slight sound of grass blades moving, which was different from the usual breeze, like the friction sound of something passing by the blades of grass.

At the moment when Ying Cui was stunned, Zhuo Zhi flew, the speed was extremely fast, he jumped ten meters away, and plunged into the dwarf Artemisia not far away.

Ying Cui's eyes widened, and he blinked. He didn't see how the person moved just now, as if they disappeared all at once. How fast is this?

The noise in the dwarf Artemisia bushes became more intense, and after a while, a call came from inside, and the voice was not very old.

Zhuo Zhifei came out with a person in his hand.

Ying Cui took a closer look, and found that the man was about the same age as Fanmi, with a strong body and a tiger head. Zhuo Zhifei was holding him at the back of his clothes, and he kept twisting and trying to get rid of it.

"Who are you guys?! My dad is a famous hunter, and he'll be here soon. You'd better let me go." The boy said in a stagnant voice, his face flushed slightly.

"Yo, I can't see that you're still in the vanguard." Fan Mi smiled smirk, "Then we can't let you go, otherwise what would we take as a hostage? Landlord, are you right?" Chao Yingcui winked.

"Well, yes, we must stay as hostages." Ying Cui suppressed a smile and said cooperatively.He could see that the young man had no bad intentions, but now they were entangled in the wormwood in front of them, maybe they could get some news from each other.

"You bastards, robbers!" The young man began to curse upon hearing this, "Even if I die, I won't tell where our village is!"

"..." Ying Cui covered her face, they didn't call themselves up without asking anything, the boy He treated.

"So there really is a village here." Zhuo Zhifei said with great interest.

"Uh." The young man choked, and later realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he turned his head and gave Zhuo Zhifei a hard look, and immediately stopped struggling and didn't speak.

Fanmi and Chabei blinked and looked the boy up and down.

At this moment, the sound of "gurgling" came from the boy's stomach.

Chabei's mouth grew slightly, looking very surprised.

The boy's face turned even redder.

Ying Cui laughed, looked at the sky, touched her chin, "Looks like it's time for us to prepare dinner."

The most common animal in the wormwood is the sweet duck bird. This kind of bird is shaped like a duck. Because of eating wormwood for a long time, the meat has a natural sweetness, and even the bones are made of sweet powder. , edible.

Zhuo Zhifei and Fanmi went hunting ducks and birds together, and Chabei naturally stayed to help Ying Cui. Since the first time they used their skills to provide drinking water, they never worried about the water source.

"You, are you a hunter?" The young man, with his hands tied behind his back, fell to the side and asked in disbelief when he saw Chabe's ice freezing technique. Obviously, he did not expect such a young child to be able to do so.

Chabei tilted his head, "I'm not a hunter. Master said that he will take me to take the hunter assessment in two years."

He was even more surprised when he was rare, "Master?" He quickly turned to Ying Cui, with excitement in his eyes, "Is that him? Can he help you become a hunter?"

"He..." Before Zha Bei finished speaking, the young man kicked his bound legs with some strength, and fell straight in front of Ying Cui, shouting, "Master, take me too! "

Ying Cui, "..."

Chabe, "..."

It happened that Zhuo Zhifei and Fan Mi came back with two sweet ducks.

Seeing this scene, Fan Mi quit immediately, "Landlord! I'm not here for a while, and you did this behind my brother's back!" In order to match the context, he threw a duck on purpose, pointing at Ying Cui.

"..." Fuck, don't you know that it's easy to be misunderstood?I have half a dime relationship with this kid? !Besides, your brother and I haven't even written a word yet!Ying Cui took a deep breath and said with a dark smile, "It seems that some people don't want to eat dinner."

Fanmi's aura weakened at once, and he sent Tian Yaniao to Ying Cui in a hurry, and said aggrievedly, "It's okay if I don't report to brother."

"I have nothing to do with this kid, you don't need to be so reluctant!" Ying Cui took the sweet duck and put it on the case, swung the knife and chopped off the duck's head bitterly.

"Master!"

"You, take it easy." Ying Cui said hastily, "I'm not a hunter, and I'm still the weakest of the four, so don't make mistakes."

"Eh?" The young man was stunned for a moment, looked at Ying Cui, then turned his gaze to Zhuo Zhifei, his face was tangled up, and he threw himself to Zhuo Zhifei's feet, howling, "Master, take me! "

"That's right, that's right, let's take this monster away." Ying Cui gloated and said while watching the show, "From now on, someone will do things like serving tea and water, pinching waist and beating legs."

Zhuo Zhifei, "..." lowered his head, looked at the person at his feet with a little distaste, picked up the back of his clothes, and dragged him to the side.

Ying Cui saw Zhuo Zhifei bowed his head and said a few words to the young man from a long distance away, and then untied the young man's rope, but the conversation didn't stop, as if he was carrying out ideological education.

"Brother, what shall we have for dinner?" Chabe was more interested in the food.

Fanmi also leaned over and saw Ying Cui take out something like a lotus leaf from his backpack, and asked, "Landlord, what are you doing with the snail leaves?"

Snail-wrapped leaves, red, shaped like lotus leaves, with spiral veins, high temperature resistance, the effect is a bit like tin foil, and are mostly used as building materials.

"Nonsense, of course it's for dinner." There are ready-made sweet ducks and birds, and even the honey is saved, but the necessary spices are still needed. In the current situation, beggar-style beggars can save a lot of time, so you don't have to think about it. The dishes are ready.

"This?" Fanmi pursed his mouth, Zhi Zhi didn't say the next words in order to fill his stomach.

Ying Cui figured out the time to dig out the dinner buried in the soil, and as soon as he took it apart, the aroma spread out, and there was a sweet smell in the meat aroma, which was nothing more than a good honey barbecue.

Zhuo Zhifei brought the boy back.

Ying Cui shared a sweet duck and a bird. He and Cha Bei had a small appetite, so they ate one together.

"What's going on?" Ying Cui asked Zhuo Zhifei in a low voice.

"Hmm." Zhuo Zhifei took a bite of the meat and tore it off, exhaling a little hotly, "I almost understand."

almost?Ying Cui lowered her eyes, why is it not roughly or almost every time?Looking at Zhuo Zhifei with a bit of pain—this guy's ability to win the title of the [-]th Fairy Ambassador must be because the competition has been flooded.

Thinking of the sugar tree elf, Ying Cui also thought of the little guy in his pocket, who fell into a deep sleep after eating the honey of the rainbow aphid, which is a bit worrying.

By the way, there is also Karil City. The situation before I left was disturbed, and I don't know what the situation is now.

Zhuo Zhifei was finally in the mood to talk to Ying Cui after swallowing most of the beggar. He also lowered his voice, "There is a soup noodle village on the map, and he is from there."

"Noodle Soup Village?" Ying Cui's mouth twitched, very intuitive, "Is this village specialized in selling noodle soup?"

Zhuo Zhifei sucked the sauce on his fingertips, smacked and said, "It should be."

Can you stop using such an uncertain tone, and you will die if you have more confidence? !Ying Cui took a bite of the bird meat, absolutely not lightly, "What did the boy say about the robbers?"

"There is a kind of broth crystallized in Artemisia Cong, which is a relatively rare high-grade seasoning. It was only circulated in the noodle soup village at first, but then it was discovered by someone somehow, and trouble came."

Zhuo Zhifei organized his sentences, and continued, "The people in Tangnian Village have strange physiques. When they enter the Artemisia clumps, the Artemisia sativa will automatically separate, which also helps them search for broth crystals. Those outsiders are interested in their ability. , hire them to look for crystals and recycle them at a high price.”

"The soup noodle village has been rich for a while due to this reason, but with excessive collection, the broth crystals that can be collected are getting less and less, and the people in the soup noodle village have also discovered a problem-because a large number of broth crystals are recycled, they eat less for themselves After eating less, they began to be squeezed out by the Artemisia Cong, and their special abilities became weaker and weaker. The noodle soup village was originally located in the center of the Artemisia Cong, so we had to change the address.”

Ying Cui listened fascinatedly, Emma, ​​isn't this the otherworldly version of "You can't live without doing your own crimes", "And then, where is the soup noodle village moved?" His eyes pointed to the young man who was eating well, "What's wrong with him? What's going on?"

"Do you know what the market price of a broth crystal is?" Zhuo Zhifei asked an irrelevant question.

Ying Cui shook her head.

"1 million." Zhuo Zhifei spat out a breath-taking figure, "The rarer the more precious, after the soup noodle village moved, the poachers still didn't let the people in the soup noodle village go, after all, they have special abilities There are still some people, and they only catch this type of soup noodle village people, and what’s more, they are raised in captivity and become collection tools.”

Zhuo Zhifei shook his head, "I just found out about this news. Those people did it very secretly. If I guessed correctly, someone will find them later."

"You mean someone is watching here?" Ying Cui asked in surprise.If not, how could they ensure that the people in Tangnian Village would not run out to seek rescue, and how could they catch the people in Tangnian Village who were hiding after the village was relocated?

Thinking of this, Ying Cui was a little nervous, and then looked at the boy with some pity.

"Lengjia's father went out to find help two days ago. He was waiting here, but we bumped into him." Zhuo Zhifei gnawed the meat, even the last skeleton, and turned his head, " Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."

Ying Cui's thoughts hadn't come back from the soup noodle village, when she was interrupted by this, she was taken aback for a moment, then casually took a big pancake from her backpack and handed it over, "I don't understand something, at first he called us robbers, It should be that we are with the group of poachers, and then Xiaobei showed his skills, and his attitude changed too quickly, isn't it possible that other than hunters, other people can't have skills?"

Zhuo Zhifei paused, took a deep look at Ying Cui, and said, "There is only one in 10 people who can awaken skills. This kind of power is far stronger than you think, and being strong itself also represents danger. Will the Hunter Association let the dangers spread across the continent?"

"You mean, once you awaken your skills, you must report to the Hunter Association. Become a hunter?" Ying Cui frowned, "What will happen if you don't go?"

"The Hunter Association has people in every city who specialize in looking for skills awakening, called inspectors. The energy fluctuations of the first awakening are often hidden. After the inspector finds the person, he will use the background, experience, and characteristics of the awakened skills of the person involved. Waiting for many factors to consider whether to absorb people."

Ying Cui frowned, "What if you can't absorb it?"

Zhuo Zhifei chewed the dry food flatbread expressionlessly, "Then just wipe it out."

Ying Cui was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a while, "Isn't this too domineering? No wonder Xiao Bei was regarded as a hunter after showing off... Wait." Ying Cui said nervously, "Xiao Bei didn't report to the Hunter Association, Will it be all right?"

Zhuo Zhifei looked weird when he heard this, and he chuckled, "You think Yi Nie's position as city lord is just for fun? I really feel sad for your man."

"...You don't need to be kind!" Ying Cui gave Zhuo Zhifei a middle finger, "I will prove it to you, who is the man! Hmph!"

Zhuo Zhifei whistled frivolously, glanced at Ying Cui's small body, "Wait and see." After saying that, his expression became serious, "The mice have come out to move around."

Ying Cui didn't understand how the topic changed so quickly, but he soon knew.

They sat at the junction of the plain and the sagebrush. The terrain on the plain is flat, and you can feel it when there is a wind and grass. A dozen big men jumped out of it.
