Fortunately, the target of the flying knife was not Li Xiaotian, but the demon eagle that appeared behind him at some point.
The flying knife was fast and accurate, passing by Li Xiaotian's ear and hitting the head of the devil eagle. He only heard a scream and fell to the ground.
Li Xiaotian was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He looked back and saw the bucket-sized demon eagle. He estimated that it was a second-order Yuan beast. This guy was a nocturnal Yuan beast. Since his body was completely dark, hunting at night was equivalent to wearing an invisibility suit.
Like the clothes, he appeared and disappeared. Li Xiaotian's cultivation was not high, so he naturally failed to notice the danger. Fortunately, Mu Qianshan took action in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Thank you, Brother Mu, for saving me." Li Xiaotian walked to the fire and thanked him in a trembling voice.
Mu Qianshan waved his hand and said: "It's just a little effort. I happen to be hungry too, so I'll leave the ingredients delivered to your door to you."
The devil eagle is quite big, so plucking its feathers and removing its internal organs is too troublesome. The essence of the devil eagle's body is all in its legs. It just so happens that these two eagle legs are also quite heavy, so Li Xiaotian directly removed the two legs with a knife.
An eagle leg, ready to be roasted and eaten.
Just like this, in the cave, Li Xiaotian was roasting the eagle's legs, and Mu Qianshan was drying his clothes. The scene lasted for a while, and Li Xiaotian suddenly said: "Brother Mu, there is something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
Mu Qianshan said: "Let it go."
Li Xiaotian said: "Brother Mu, it's wrong for you to dry clothes like this. If you hold them in your hand without moving, the clothes will be baked into rice shells."
Mu Qianshan asked suspiciously: "Rice shell?"
Li Xiaotian almost fainted. He thought that the children from rich families were really unscrupulous, so he explained concisely: "It's just burnt rice."
Mu Qianshan said as if he had some realization.
Li Xiaotian continued: "Drying clothes is like baking an eagle's leg. It must be turned frequently to ensure that each area is heated evenly, otherwise, it will be scorched. With your drying method, the clothes will not be wearable once they are dry.
"
Li Xiaotian motioned to Mu Qianshan to give him the clothes and he would help dry them.
Mu Qianshan handed it to him with some hesitation.
Li Xiaotian began to dry the clothes skillfully, and while drying, he said: "This task of roasting the legs is very hard for Brother Mu. I bake it on one side every ten breaths."
Mu Qianshan said confidently: "No problem."
The exchange of images lasted for a while.
Li Xiaotian found that the water vapor emitted from Mu Qianshan's clothes had a slight fragrance, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Mu, your clothes are so fragrant. Oh, it's better to be rich. Even the materials of the clothes are made of spices."
."
Mu Qianshan looked at Li Xiaotian dumbfounded and did not respond. He only said: "This cave is filled with the smell of meat, and the grease keeps dripping. I'm afraid it's cooked."
Li Xiaotian looked at Mu Qianshan, who was unbearably hungry, and heard the protest from his stomach, and said: "Brother Mu, barbecue and drying clothes are the same. They both require patience. Let me tell you, barbecue is not the best time.
It’s delicious. You have to wait until the fat is absorbed, then it will be truly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It’s delicious in the world. Hey, Brother Mu, why did you eat it? Alas, you are the son of everyone. Pay attention to how you eat. How can you eat so much?
Your face is full of oil, I said, aren’t you a germophobe?”
Mu Qianshan couldn't wait for Li Xiaotian to finish explaining. He cut off a piece with a dagger and ate it. He ate a few pieces like this. It seemed that it was not enough, so he simply took off the roasted leg and ate the leftovers without caring about the image.
After quickly finishing a big roasted leg, Mu Qianshan said: "I never said that I had mysophobia. It was all your own guess. Oh, by the way, if you want this roasted leg, I will take it."
Got off."
Li Xiaotian looked at Mu Qianshan's drooling look and could only helplessly reply: "Eat, eat, you are my boss."
After saying that, he murmured softly: "Looking at the way you eat, I'm already full."
Mu Qianshan seemed to hear something and asked: "What did you say?"
Li Xiaotian quickly replied: "Nothing, I mean why don't you dare to change clothes in front of me if you are not mysophobic?"
"Dry your clothes well!" Mu Qianshan said harshly to Li Xiaotian without explaining.
There was no way, Li Xiaotian had no choice but to shut up and dry his clothes honestly. Who said he was his hired worker, and he was paid handsomely. The most important thing was that others were powerful.
After the baptism of rain in the middle of the night, the sunshine the next day was exceptionally bright, the air in the mountains was exceptionally fresh, the leaves seemed greener, the flowers seemed more colorful, and the little animals seemed more energetic. In short, the rain was like the mountains
After eating the rations, the vitality is particularly abundant.
Thanks to Li Xiaotian's suggestion, the scope of looking for black grass has been greatly reduced. In just three days, all the places circled on the outside of the mountains on the map have been searched. Unfortunately, no black grass was found.
However, this is reasonable.
However, Mu Qianshan seemed a little depressed.
"Xuanhuangcao is a rare thing in the world. How could we find it so casually? Don't be discouraged. There must be a way to the mountain." Li Xiaotian comforted him. As a qualified employee, it is his duty to take care of his boss's mood.
The key is that this boss is not an ordinary person, and it is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with him.
Mu Qianshan teased: "Just casually? I have been looking for it for three years, walking through countless mountain streams and deep caves. I also know that it is rare in the world and cannot be sold in the entire continent. Sometimes I ask myself, is it really
Does it exist? If so, where is it? If not, why is it in the book?"
"I think it must exist." Li Xiaotian said solemnly, paused, and continued: "Shall I tell you a story?"
Mu Qianshan neither agreed nor refused.
Li Xiaotian took it as his acquiescence and said: "One day, a farmer was working in the mountains and was bitten by a venomous snake. This venomous snake is extremely venomous. Even if the bitten person seeks medical treatment in time, he will die from the poison. The farmer
Working alone in the mountains, far away from the road back to the village, he would definitely die if nothing unexpected happened. However, he did not want to die like this, because he still had his wife and children at home who loved him. Thinking of this, he staggered
He walked towards the road home, but before walking a few steps, he became dizzy and fell to the ground in confusion. When he was about to close his eyes, he heard the voices of his wife and children in his ears, so,
He opened his eyes slightly again, dragging his body forward step by step with the help of the slits of light. Whenever he climbed a certain distance and was about to close his eyes and fall asleep, the images of his wife and children appeared in his mind, and there would be sounds in his ears.
When his wife and children call him, he will force himself to wake up and continue crawling forward."
"Just like that, he crawled and crawled. I don't know how long he crawled, and I don't know where he crawled until he was discovered and sent to a doctor for treatment. Finally, he miraculously survived.
"
"Sometimes, when you can't persevere, think about the reasons that made you persevere in the first place, and a miracle will happen. This is not what I said, but what my father said. He was the farmer bitten by the poisonous snake."
After listening to the true story told by Li Xiaotian, Mu Qianshan was touched in his heart. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Although I know you are trying to comfort me, don't tell me, it still works. Since the outer areas of the mountain range have been almost found, tomorrow
We will search in the middle of the mountains, so be prepared."
Li Xiaotian looked shocked and said: "So fast, are you going to enter the middle of the mountain range tomorrow?"
Mu Qianshan glanced at Li Xiaotian and said, "What, is there a problem?"
"Brother Mu, Brother Mu, the central domain of this mountain range is an area where mid-to-high-level Yuan beasts move. You see, after entering the central domain, Brother Mu has a high level of cultivation. No matter how bad he is, he can still escape. I am only three levels of Tongmai."
If I encounter any Yuan beast, then I will become their excrement." Li Xiaotian laughed at himself and replied.
Mu Qianshan asked in a threatening tone: "Brother Lu, what do you mean? I hate people who go back on their word."
Li Xiaotian hurriedly laughed and said: "Brother Mu, what are you talking about? I, Lu Shiba, a seven-foot tall man, am not the kind of person who can't keep his word. That's what I think. I'm about to break through to the fourth level of Tongmai. I
I want to wait until I break through before entering the central realm, and at least enhance my life-saving ability a little bit."
Mu Qianshan said rather disdainfully: "What is the difference between your fourth level of Tongmai and your third level of Tongmai? When encountering mid-to-high-level Yuan beasts, they are all the same. They have no ability to resist. Besides, you can poison two Tongmai."
A monk at the sixth level of the pulse level may be better than me when it comes to saving lives."
