In the cold night of the north.
Lin Tuo didn't know what was happening in the far southern continent, he was still moving, using the ontology's observation of the distribution of ether, hunting monsters and obtaining "materials".
After being promoted, his sense of ether became more acute.
Considering the specific needs, the weaker ones were not used.
Only select high-level monsters to hunt and kill.
This is not easy. Most of the powerful monsters are hidden deep in the ground, and it is extremely laborious to capture them in the "Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit".
After tossing to the back, I couldn't find a target for dozens of minutes.
"Huh." That's all for today, too much is too much to use up and waste.
After killing an ice and snow fox again, Lin Tuo raised his head and glanced at the bright Chuyang in the east and the rapidly fading starry night.
Before I knew it, I was busy for several hours, and the sky was bright.
After stretching my muscles and bones, I secretly said in my heart: "The next step is to move back to Lishan."
…
Li Shan, in a certain room of the Martial Arts Hall.
When the faint morning light shone through the cracks in the curtains, Huaxi, curled up with the quilt between her legs, slowly woke up.
After being driven back last night, he lay on the bed, thinking about Lin Tuo's changes, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep anyway, and tossing and tossing until after three o'clock in the morning before finally falling asleep.
When I woke up at this time, my mind was still groggy.
Looking up at the ceiling, my mind is full of Lin Tuo's appearance after being promoted... It seems to be better than my own skin... Envy...
I don't know if I can change when I reach the level of a teacher... But thinking of the gap between the two, she is a little discouraged, and she doesn't know when she will be able to catch up...
Thinking about it, the hunger in my stomach hit... Well, it's all because of that aroma.
Just thinking about getting up and cooking, suddenly, Huaxi lying on the bed felt as if the bed shook slightly, and outside the window, there was a series of roars of heavy objects being beaten.
"Bang bang bang..."
Her ears perked up in an instant, and she stood up alertly, with the quilt still on her body, like a civet cat arching its back after being frightened.
Wrinkled his nose, his expression became more serious:
"Blood smell... what happened?"
After waiting vigilantly for two seconds, Huaxi's figure moved, and he rushed to the door in his pajamas, turned sideways, with his right hand hanging by his side, and subconsciously grabbed it, only to realize that there was no weapon around him.
Frowning, he carefully pushed the door open a gap.
Then, a very astonishing scene was seen:
On the spacious martial arts arena, a small "corpse mountain" was suddenly piled up. Strange beasts were piled up together, with ice and snow attached to their fur, and their blood had frozen.
In the sky, Lin Tuo's figure stepped down from the sky, hovered lightly above the corpse, clapped his hands, and then raised his eyes to look this way.
Eyes meet.
"Are you awake? Just right, put on your clothes and come out to help." Lin Tuo said with a smile.
Huaxi's vigilance disappeared, but she still looked blank, opened the door, looked down, looked up:
"Do... most what?"
"Boil the water, let the blood out, and pluck the hair!"
…
…
Ten minutes later, when Huaxi changed her clothes and came out of the room wearing gloves, she saw that Lin Tuo was already busy.
The monsters are separated and placed in the courtyard, which is quite spectacular.
"Bring the water tank in the corner." Lin Tuo glanced at Huaxi and ordered.
"profound."
After a while, the little girl ran back carrying a water tank that was several laps larger than her body. This was used to store water in the past. Later, a pump was installed in the well and it was abandoned.
The vat is large, usually covered, but not dirty at all. After a brief wash with clean water, the sun rose, the snow melted, and the frozen monster corpses showed signs of thawing.
Lin Tuo directly picked up a snow python that had just been killed and whose blood hadn't frozen yet. With a flash of blue light in his right hand, he cut a hole with just one swipe and threw it to Huaxi, saying:
"Put the blood in the vat."
"Yes!" Huaxi looked bewildered, but still conscientious, and started to work while holding the boa constrictor.
As an aborigine of the wasteland, she is quite skilled in handling corpses.
Lin Tuo turned his head, went back to the study on his own, replaced the main body, took out a simple fire spell model diagram from the bookshelf, carefully wrote it down, and brought out a mop.
Then the water tank was filled with blood, and the spell model picture was drawn on the ground, and at the same time, the ether was poured into it through the meridian of the hand.
"Teacher, do you want to draw a spell?" Huaxi next to him had rolled up his sleeves and was struggling to move the big snake with his two white forearms. Seeing this, he couldn't help asking.
Through copying books, she now has a certain understanding of spell theory and models... Of course, she is still unclear.
But the basic concept is still understood.
For example, use the blood containing "spirituality" to draw the corresponding "rune" or "way pattern", and pour "magic power" or "ether" into it to cast the corresponding spell.
"That's right." Lin Tuo nodded frankly, thinking that he would teach Huaxi a lesson by the way, so he explained:
"These mutated monsters contain spirituality and ether, and their blood can be used as the main material for drawing spells... Of course, their blood is not as pure as that of humans, so the effect is poor.
In addition, drawing directly on the floor will greatly affect the effect of the spell... However, my demand is not high, just make do with it. "
As he spoke, he glanced at Huaxi and said, "Slow down."
"Oh!" Huaxi was taken aback, and the speed of moving his hands quickly increased.
In fact, Lin Tuo had two purposes for killing these monsters.
First, I told Huaxi that he needs blood materials as a consumable for practicing and releasing spells.
The second is to eat.
yes, eat!
According to the records of "Tian Dao Juan", after entering the "inhuman realm", people can reach "Bigu" to a certain extent.
I still have to eat, but the nutrition that ordinary food can provide is not enough to support the consumption of the body. The survival of the cells in the whole body itself needs to consume a certain amount of ether.
In other words, "feeding on vitality" is no longer a dream.
But "swallowing" vitality can only guarantee basic survival. If you want to absorb nutrients, you have to find another way. Swallowing some plants or animals that contain spirituality has become possible.
In World No. 3, humans and demons were once enemies, and one of the reasons was that the two races regarded each other as food.
In the beginning, demons eat people.
Later, the demon slayer rose up, and people ate demons.
The history of barbaric cannibalism ended only when monsters took shape, became more and more like humans, accelerated cultural integration, and the "inhuman" powerhouses of the two races checked and balanced.
Otherwise, the two clans will join forces to deal with the head of the Haizhou faction
What a dream!
But even so, in World No. 3, some low-level "monsters" who have not awakened their wisdom will still be used as food.
People eat it, and so do demons.
The two races have reached a consensus on this point, that is, all intelligent creatures that have not awakened are counted as beasts.
Even, captivity will be carried out.
Tiandaozong raised some low-level monsters in captivity, and also planted some low-level plants containing "vigor" in batches...
Lin Tuo was somewhat embarrassed to snatch it, but World No. 2 had no burden.
…
After a while, the pattern on the ground was drawn. Lin Tuo did not activate it, but moved some stones from the courtyard and placed them around, and then moved the iron pot on the stove from the kitchen.
Put it on and fill it with water.
Only then did the spell be activated, the ether was poured in, and the ground suddenly burst into flames out of thin air.
The most basic "burning fire technique" consumes very little, and Lin Tuo has more than 20,000 "wealths", so it doesn't feel bad to use it.
Boil the water, then scald the bloody corpse, pluck out the hair, clean the internal organs, store up the ingredients... All morning, in the small courtyard of Lishan, a pair of master and apprentice did not stop.
I have been busy until noon, and it is barely finished.
A lot of blood was stored in the huge water tank, and the freezer in the kitchen was also filled with processed frozen meat.
If it couldn’t fit, Lin Tuo put it aside, thinking about finding time to pack it in his pocket at night, put it back in the No. 2 sandbox, and find a remote and safe place to store it.
Anyway, the whole world is a big refrigerator over there.
…
When the two of them finished their tossing and finally sat down in the small courtyard, it was already afternoon, and the original small dining table was no longer filled with takeaway dishes.
It's a huge stainless steel basin.
The basin was full of boiled Warcraft meat like a hill, and it was steaming. In front of the two of them was a plate for each of them, with sauces on it.
Because the pile was too high, it blocked the view, and even people couldn't see each other.
After a while of silence, the breeze swept through the courtyard, and Huaxi heard a dignified voice from the opposite side of Roshan:
"Let's go!"
Desperately, Huaxi couldn't bear it any longer, reached out and grabbed a large piece of bone, and gnawed it down!
"Aww!"
It's not delicious, only onion and ginger are simply added, the cooking method is primitive and simple, and some monsters themselves are not delicious...but they are different from ordinary ingredients.
When the meat soup entered the mouth, Huaxi obviously felt that the cells in his body were activated.
very different!
There seemed to be a trace of energy in the flesh, which was very weak. It was not that Huaxi had never eaten mutant beasts when he was in the wasteland, but he basically didn't feel anything extra.
Very different from these.
She naturally didn't know that what she used to eat were ordinary mutant beasts, and in the wasteland environment, not to mention low nutrition, some were even poisonous.
Even some wild beasts deliberately evolved themselves to be unpalatable... to avoid being hunted.
Those that Ke Lintuo killed were almost all "high-level" monsters... the kind that could occupy a territory, and the low-level ones didn't even look down on them.
Eating is naturally different.
On the opposite side, Lin Tuo also felt the subtle energy in the meat and the rich nutrition inside, and his eyes lit up slightly.
Sure enough.
Immediately swallowed.
This was his first meal after being promoted, and it was also the first time he realized how edible "inhuman land" is!
In the end, Huaxi only ate less than one-tenth of the food and was so sleepy, Lin Tuo took care of the rest.
He even made records according to different types of ingredients, parts, tastes and nutrition:
"Well, from now on, I will eat according to the table first."
Thinking about his calculations, he watched Huaxi tidy up the table with drooping eyelids, and then went back to the house to sleep and digest food, but Lin Tuo just wiped his mouth, then looked at the sky, got up and returned to the study:
"Eat and drink enough, it's time to get down to business."
