my age of magic

Chapter 293 93. The Taste of Hot Pot

Although we tried our best to rush there, we still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening.

When it comes down to the reason, I have to say that the captain of this team is still a little too greedy. They also want to go into the deep forest to hunt saber-toothed tigers, but when they were hunting one saber-toothed tiger, two other saber-toothed tigers broke in unexpectedly. Facing the attack of the three saber-toothed tigers, the defensive formation of the entire team quickly collapsed. The boys in the team desperately wanted to send the only magic apprentice and three female classmates out safely, so in this bloody road, On the road of life, young and fresh lives paid the price of their lives for their recklessness.

Darwin and Lagertis were in such a situation when they met the two saber-toothed tigers biting the magic apprentice Marvin who had fallen to the ground. The entire arm of the magic apprentice was torn off by the saber-toothed tiger. The girls running away were covered in blood, and their defenses were completely broken. When the huge claws of the saber-toothed tiger knocked a girl from the Warrior Academy to the ground, Darwin couldn't bear it anymore. Pulling it away fully, ignoring Lagertis' advice, he shot the bow and arrow in his hand continuously, and rescued the female student from the tiger's mouth.The two saber-toothed tigers immediately gave up on the defenseless students and rushed towards Darwin!

The most helpless thing is Lagertis, who had to help Darwin share the attack of a saber-toothed tiger when he met such a brainless pig teammate as Darwin, otherwise, with Darwin's pace, there was almost no room for escape, and he would die in the tiger's kiss Down.

Darwin was still a little too impulsive. If he had listened to Lagertis' advice, he would not have suffered such a serious injury, and even healing techniques could not heal him immediately.

Thomas and I took our own teams, led by Lagertis, to find the dying girls from the Warrior Academy who were lying in a pool of blood. After the treatment of 'hydrotherapy', at least their lives were saved. up.This series of 'hydrotherapy' caused the magic power in my body to drop quickly, and the 'mana recovery' in the blue crystal stone drum totem was activated. Under the effects of heating and 'mana recovery', the magic vortex in my body began It spun quickly, absorbing the power of magic elements wandering in the surrounding air.

Marvin, a magic apprentice who had lost one arm and was in a deep coma, was lying next to a big tree. He was a freshman in the fire magic class and should be familiar with Thomas. At this time, Thomas had already run over and tore open a Zhang's 'hydrotherapy' scroll to control his injuries, all we can do now is to safely send him back to the portal, so that he can return to Sloy safely when the portal is opened half a month later special city.

"Jia, take a break!" Yingli said to me.

She has been by my side, she is a little afraid of seeing those corpses on the ground, and her face looks a little pale.A total of seven students were killed by the white-spotted saber-toothed tiger. People in our team managed to piece together their corpses. Everyone was reluctant to speak and buried the corpses in silence.I peeled a board with a scalping knife and engraved the names of the seven of them: Ben, Mike... Vernon, rest here!

I shook my head silently. The condition of Marvin who lost one arm was very bad. He had been running a high fever. Drinking a bowl of soup, only relying on 'hydrotherapy' cannot solve the fundamental problem.But this requires some herbs. Only by returning to the portal can we get enough magical herbs. Most of the team should stay near the portal to familiarize themselves with the situation in this valley. They should have enough herbs.

Thomas led their team to continue on the road, and we returned to the huge rock where the portal was opened. We met some expedition teams along the way. When they saw the wounded in our team, they all came over to investigate the situation. In the depths of the dense forest, there are fierce beasts like saber-toothed tigers, and their faces are very ugly.

I took the opportunity to exchange some healing herbs with them, and some herbs were given to us by the expedition team.

After such a lot of tossing, we returned to the rock where the portal is. It has been almost a day since we arrived at Xinliu Valley through the portal. Everyone is already exhausted. The members of the team should have a meal and rest.

Some people are already setting up tents on the rock, and some teams can be seen one after another choosing to return here for repairs. Everyone thinks that this is at least a safe place.

Some members of the team also started to light a fire to cook. There are many wild vegetables and fruits in the valley that can be used, but the wild fruits are not yet ripe, so they taste sour and astringent.On the entire mountain rock, piles of bonfires appeared, some of which were local materials collected by the expedition team, some dead branches and some damp wood were picked up around, bursts of green smoke drifted away with the breeze, and the aroma of porridge made people feel My stomach growled non-stop.

We still ate in the morning, and we hadn’t touched a drop of rice for seven or eight hours. The fierce battle just now made us forget our hunger. At this time, we returned to the rock where the portal was located, only to find that we were too tired to take a step. gone.

We passed by the campsite of a small team, and Darwin looked enviously at a scroll of focusing fire that lay flat on the ground, above which a raging flame continued to burn, making the water in the iron pot on the wooden stand sizzling loudly, A girl in a battle skirt was cutting open a box of luncheon meat with a dagger, and poured the sliced ​​meat into the soup pot. There were still bunches of green wild vegetables in the soup pot, which smelled good.

Becky, Helena, Lagertis, and Rita started to build a tent. This kind of simple tent for outdoor adventures is very simple. A few pieces of soft cowhide with buttonholes can form a simple tent. Helena and Rita tidied up the cowhide tents, Becky and Lagerties found some branches long enough, and Inri and I built fires and cooked and tended to the wounded.

Seeing that Yingli and I were busy taking care of the wounded, Darwin swallowed and said to me, "I'm going to pick up some dry firewood."

I pressed his shoulders and said to him: "You can rest in peace, we are still waiting for you to recover soon!"

He looked at me in astonishment, wondering why Yingli and I were in charge of cooking, why neither of us mentioned to collect firewood. At this time, Yingli had already crushed fresh herbs according to my instructions, I am very familiar with the characteristics of these herbs, so it is perfect for her to deal with them.

I directly took out two scrolls of Gathering Fire from the package, unfolded them skillfully and spread them on the ground, and two bonfires were easily made like this.There were still iron racks and iron pots in my magic backpack, and I turned them out all at once. Watching me skillfully use the water gathering technique to condense a ball of clear water and slowly pour it into the iron pot, Darwin's jaw dropped in surprise. They are about to fall.

"I almost forgot what you said before. You spent almost your entire childhood traveling. How could you not be familiar with these things in the wild, but this magic scroll is really amazing. I've heard of it. Someone in the academy I bought it in a small market, and you can see that there are people using it, which is really convenient! Later, I always wanted to buy a roll, but I went to the small market several times, but I couldn’t meet the person who sold it The scroll merchant!" Darwin said regretfully.

When Darwin saw me proficiently light a fire, set up a pot, and boil water, he realized that these things are very easy for me, a child who is used to traveling.I poured the herbs prepared by Ying Li into the tin lunch box, put them on another stove and started to cook them, and then continued to prepare our dinner.

I re-treated Marvin's wound, applied some crushed herbs from Ying Li to the broken arm, and re-cast the 'hydrotherapy technique' to make a protective film grow on the texture of his broken arm. I touched it with my hands His forehead still had a high fever, so he had no choice but to find a piece of rag to wrap the crushed ice and put it on top of his head to help him cool down, preventing the persistent high fever from burning his brain out.

Ying Li squatted aside, and simply wiped the sweat and blood on Marvin's face with a piece of linen. Even in a coma, Marvin seemed to be in pain.

The three injured girls hadn't completely forgotten the brutal killing just now, and they sat blankly under the big tree, weeping silently for their team members.

Among the students who gathered on the rock and did not leave, many students knew these three girls, and they all came up to comfort them.

After several expedition teams heard about this incident, they also temporarily canceled their decision to go deep into the dense forest to explore, thinking that they would make plans after they had fully recovered their strength.After all, although the Portal Gate Rock is safe here, in just one day today, the herbs in the surrounding woods have been picked clean. Only by going deep can it be possible to find some rare magic herbs.

After drinking a bowl of hot soup, Ma Wen finally settled down.The three injured girls over there were comforted by their friends, and their emotions gradually stabilized. We got together to talk about their plans for the next few days. One girl promised to stay in Shanyan for half a month. Here, take care of Marvin.She said Marvin wouldn't have lost an arm if it wasn't for saving him.

The other two girls will rejoin their friends' expedition team. After all, this is a very rare opportunity. There are magic herbs growing everywhere here. There are as many low-level monsters as there are wild beasts in the mountains and forests of the Grimm Empire. These low-level monsters are in Grimm The empire is almost extinct, and the magic materials on Warcraft are very valuable, and you can also accumulate experience in hunting in groups in the wild.Now that the two girls have made a decision, even though they are injured, they grit their teeth and follow their friends to join the new adventure team.

The decision of those two girls made the girl who chose to stay and take care of Marvin feel a little sad, but from the beginning to the end, the girl did not change her mind. I think this girl makes me admire.

Afterwards, she asked me a lot about things that need to be paid attention to in caring for the patient, and how to cook the decoction. I said to him: "The decoction just now should not be taken too much, but after he wakes up, he can change it to another kind." formula……"

I handed over the recipe and the prepared herbs to that girl.

Helena and Becky had already set up the tent, and they helped the girl set up another tent together, and everyone carried Marvin into the tent.

For eating, I will always be ahead of these college students.The members of the team were still wondering why the water in the pot was already boiling, but I didn't put any ingredients in, so I started to invite everyone to sit around the campfire and prepare to start eating.Helena blinked her eyes and looked at me puzzled. Her big eyes could always express her thoughts clearly. She was asking me: What exactly do you want to eat!
I thought for a while, then asked her in a low voice, "Would you like to do me a favor?"

Her smile is always like the warm sunshine, even if she covers her mouth, she is very charming, she thought for a moment, then nodded happily.

"Maybe you'll be hungry later, and eat a little later than others!" I said to Helena.

Helena Bingxue was smart and immediately knew what I was going to do, so she asked me in turn: "You want me to cook for you? But I'm not very good at cooking!"

I smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as your swordsmanship is long enough!"

In fact, I am going to invite everyone to have a hot pot with saber-toothed tiger meat. Some spices have been added to the iron pot and it is rolling in boiling water. The team members are sitting in front of the hot pot according to my arrangement. I started to distribute the plates one by one. Give it to each team member, and then dig out a jar of secret sauce from the magic pocket, add it to each team member's plate, and then start the performance between me and Helena.

A piece of saber-toothed tiger leg meat that was frozen into an ice lump was taken out of my magic backpack and placed on the meat chopping board, and I told her to slice it thinly and with an even thickness. She is a second-year swordsman apprentice, but her fighting skills are even more advanced than the second-year swordsman apprentices of Zhanzheng College.

Slicing the frozen meat evenly into thin slices is not difficult for her as a swordsman, it is just a basic skill of kendo that does not need to be practiced.

So amidst the sound of chopping, chopping, rows of thin slices of meat were thrown into the boiling soup pot, and after a few simple rolls in the soup pot, I fished it out with a colander and put it in On Ying Li's plate, the aroma had already wafted far away. Ying Li took a table knife and tried to dip a little of the fragrant sauce, spread it on the tender meat, and put it in his mouth. Ying Li's expression was very exciting.

It is rare for her to be particularly interested in a certain kind of food. When she usually has lunch in the college cafeteria, she always chooses the same meal as me, or the same meal as Becky and the others. , There are very few times when I want to eat something.Later, knowing that she is the princess of the Angibald royal family, I realized that these foods were extremely rough to her, but Ying Li has an easy-going personality and likes to go with the situation.

I didn't expect saber-toothed tiger meat hot pot to be so popular. A whole tiger leg weighing several tens of kilograms has been shaved to the point where only a white skeleton remains, and it was finally thrown into the soup pot. Water was added to the soup pot three times before dinner Even when it was officially over, even the few girls who had been controlling their diet to keep in shape sat staggeringly by the campfire, refusing to move.

Darwin drank the last sip of thick soup in the bowl happily, and praised: "I didn't expect saber-toothed tiger meat to be so delicious, Jia, when you traveled with caravans, did you always cook sliced ​​meat like this?"

"What we eat most often is a kind of raw meat, jerky and boiled wild vegetables, and we only improve it once in a while!" I said to him with a smile.

After Darwin heard this, he asked me with great interest: "Jerky with raw meat and wild vegetables, I will try it if I have the chance!"

I want to say: If you knew how unpalatable that vegetable soup is, I am afraid you would not have such a weird idea.
