Otherworldly Pastry Chef

In fact, from the outside of the mountain, the Hei family's forbidden valley should not be too big.Hei Xiao had actually hunted around here before.At that time, he didn't know that this mountain was forbidden by the Hei family, but he knew that there were some mountains nearby that were not allowed to climb, because they were all territories of different families.Just like there are some places near Rock City that cannot be entered.But he knows how big the outer area is, so according to his guess, it won't be too long to reach the center of the valley.But they didn't arrive until noon. Hei Li said that there was a cypress tree in the middle of the valley that was so huge that seven or eight people could hug it. Wherever they got there, they could reach the cave with the dense volume box all the way west. .

In the wild, the last thing you can do to yourself is to be hungry.Being physically weak is especially dangerous.The two found a relatively flat place, Hei Xiao cleaned up the surrounding weeds, then dug two pits, and built two temporary stoves with the surrounding stones, and then lit the dry firewood.

"Xiao Diao, go and see how far you can see the cypress tree. Hurry up and come back."

'Know!go! After receiving the task, Thunder Sable quickly "flyed" away, because the speed was too fast, Guozi yelled to remind him to be safe, but he probably didn't hear it.

"Its speed is too fast." Guozi looked at the direction where Thunder Sable was running away, feeling sincerely.

Hei Xiao ignited the fire, then stood up.

"Its speed is the fastest among monsters of the same level, not to mention that you said that it has intelligence, and I haven't heard of a monster that can be invisible, so its other talents should be very strong. Otherwise, why would I keep it. "

Bai Guo put the pot on the stove, took out the water altar from Liangyihuan and poured spring water into it.

"Isn't it because it's rare for Xiao Diao to open up his wisdom?"

"Of course not. It can only understand people's words when it has opened its intelligence, so it can understand what we mean. In this way, it can protect you when I'm not around you. You see, when I'm not at home, there is a third-level violence in the house." Warcraft, no one will dare to approach you, and it will be difficult to threaten your safety. When we go out in the wild, with it, I can also hunt for a short time. This is the reason why I took it in." Hei Xiao Answer yes.

Only then did Guo Zi understand: "I thought you felt sorry for it too. It turns out that you want it to be my bodyguard."

Hei Xiao smiled: "It doesn't suffer. It has delicious food and drink every day, and it can also absorb the aura of our cultivation. No noble servant has such a good treatment. It is already very cost-effective."

Guozi thought for a while, then nodded: "That's right. Anyway, it can be done in one fell swoop. I also hope that he can finally achieve the right result, at least he must practice to become a demon. Hei Xiao, you said that the monsters here can open their spirits." Zhi, is it true that you orcs were also like this a long, long, long time ago?"

Hei Xiao had never considered such a profound question, but the orcs never refused to talk about their relationship with Warcraft.So when Guozi said this, Hei Xiao thought about it and found it very reasonable.

"It's not impossible. But it has nothing to do with our lives. It's meaningless to think about it. What shall we have for lunch today?"

The fruit took out the hollow vine that was picked a few days ago.

"Today I'm making steamed pork with hollow vines and fish dumplings."

"The hollow vine is very hard, how can I eat it?" Hei Xiao was deeply suspicious.As a male, he couldn't even bite, let alone a little rabbit.

Ginkgo told him: "It's not to eat it, but to use its taste. Didn't I put hot steamed buns in a basket made of hollow rattan before. Then the steamed buns had the fragrance of hollow rattan, I like it very much. So I always wanted to eat it." Try to use heat to put its aroma into food. But I didn’t find it around Yancheng, I just cut it when I saw it that day. Try it. Anyway, it doesn’t smell strange, and it’s not poisonous.”

The hollow rattan is only as thick as chopsticks, and the center is hollow, and it still maintains good toughness after drying.Many orcs like baskets made of hollow vines, because they have a special fragrance, especially for fruit bowls. Most of them let the males go to the deep mountains to collect hollow vines and weave them.But no one thought of using it as food, the fruit is definitely No.1.

After washing the fresh hollow vines, program a few simple mats, and then put the taste-adjusted meat pieces on the mats made of hollow vines, then put the hollow vines on the meat, and then put the meat.With the food intake of the two of them, the fruit bought five layers and stopped.However, he put a circle of small potatoes on the bottom curtain of the steamer. Although potatoes are not magical plants, steamed potatoes are delicious with only salt and pepper.

Hei Xiao took two black fishes, because they had been processed in the pool before, so they sliced ​​the meat and chopped them into puree.

The meat of black fish in the water pool is very elastic when eaten, and it is also very sticky when made into fish paste.Ginkgo put a large soup pot on another stove, and put the fish head and bones in it.Then I added wild onion knots and a few slices of wild ginger, and put two leaves of wild pepper picked off from the side. The salt is not put in now.

Pork is indispensable for filling with fish paste.After Hei Xiao put the two kinds of meat in the ratio mentioned by the fruit, he stirred them vigorously.

"Don't you need to put anything else?"

Guozi replied: "Put some scallion and ginger oil in it to remove the fishy smell and enhance the fragrance. This taste is very good. I don't have any vegetables to match with it now. It would be great if there are young bamboo shoots or wild rice stems. Cut them into small cubes and put them in." , it will taste better."

"What are tender bamboo shoots and bamboo shoots?" Hei Xiao sincerely had never heard of these two things.

Bai Guo was stunned for a moment, and then his face collapsed: "What? Don't you eat bamboo shoots and wild rice stems? This is wrong. There are so many bamboo products, how can there be no bamboo shoots? And these two days in Heiyun City. Wild rice, it’s impossible not to have wild rice!”

Hei Xiao was still at a loss: "Bamboo shoots? Bamboo fruits? What's the relationship between wild rice and wild rice?"

Guozi replied patiently: "Bamboo shoots are actually the shoots of bamboo just grown from the roots. They are very delicious, crunchy, slightly sweet, and have a special fragrance. If wild rice does not bloom and bear fruit, its The rhizome will be very thick, and the inside of the thick rhizome is white, which is wild rice. It is also delicious. It seems that none of you dig these two delicious foods. But don’t worry, you will know how good they are in the future food!"

Seeing Guozi's confident expression, Hei Xiao nodded with a smile: "Okay. On the way back, I'll take you to the bamboo forest to see if you can dig bamboo shoots."

"It's not right to dig bamboo shoots in this season. But wild bamboo shoots are okay. I have dug these myself before, and I will!"

Chatting about food, cooking delicious food, even though they are in a strange wilderness, the two of them still feel that they are no different from being at home.It feels very comfortable.

When the hollow vine steamed meat is ready, their dumplings are also wrapped.At this time, Guozi puts salt in the fish head and fish bone soup, and then puts dumplings in it.

Thunder Sable didn't know if he could smell the fragrance, but it came back as soon as the pot was opened.Behind them was a bunch of hard, fruit-like round things, and when they returned to the two of them, they immediately fell to the ground. 'The mink is back, delicious! '

Bai Guo was very curious, and handed the colander in his hand to Hei Xiao, and then picked up the bunch of fruit brought back by Thunder Sable from the ground.

The fruit is black, but the one brought back by Thunder Sable did grow on a branch, about 20 grams in weight. Each fruit is the size of a quail egg, and it is very hard to pinch.But he could see that it was something spiritual.

"Hei Xiao, what is this? I haven't seen it before, but it must be a mana plant."

Hei Xiao glanced at it, and then replied: "This is a stone fruit. It is so hard from the inside to the outside. It needs to be crushed with a mill to make medicine. I guess this is really unedible. Unless it has good teeth. Anyway I can not."

The big black panther is not good, let alone the little thunder mink, let alone the rabbit with the lowest force value.Guozi sighed, and touched Thunder Sable's back with his hand: "Hei Xiao said that he couldn't bite it, he couldn't eat it."

Thunder Sable raised his head, with tears in his eyes: "It's fragrant and delicious."Mink wants to eat. '

Hei Xiao waved his hand: "You give it the stone fruit, and you can pick as much as it wants to eat."

Unconvinced, Thunder Sable opened his mouth and gnawed several times, but only made some shallow tooth marks.Then it wilted. 'It's fragrant, I can't eat it. '

"Pfft!" Bai Guo was amused by Thunder Sable.

"Be good, I'll give you delicious meat in a while."

Thunder Mink moved his little nose: "The mink is hungry. '

Ginkgo immediately picked up two large pieces of meat from the steamer, and put them into a large bowl specially designed for Thunder Sable, and he blew it.

"Two pieces of meat first, and then delicious dumplings."

Seeing his little rabbit taking care of this broken ferret so thoughtfully and carefully, Hei Xiao couldn't help but his teeth were sour.

"Fruit, I want to eat too."

Guo Guo didn't think about it at all, and directly picked up a large piece of meat, put it in his mouth and blew it, and then handed it to Hei Xiao's mouth.

"The taste is very fragrant, and it must be good to eat. You should try it first."

Hei Xiao took a bite, then raised his eyebrows: "Delicious!"

The fruit also bit on that piece of meat, then nodded vigorously: "It's delicious! Sure enough, the taste of the hollow vine has penetrated into the meat, and the meat is not greasy at all." Observed the hollow vine.

"No wonder, the hollow vine has absorbed the fat, and then flowed out from the hollow part, then fell on the potatoes, and then fell into the pot, and now the water under the pot is covered with oil. This thing is really good. Go back and ask for it Cut some more and weave it into a steamer, I guess there will be people who like this taste as much as we do.”

A pot of steamed meat, the fruit can't be eaten after only three pieces.However, he drank a big bowl of fish soup and ate another twenty dumplings, which made his belly full.Hei Xiao cleaned up the rest of the food, and after eating, the two of them, one mink, lay on their backs on the soft grass.Looking at the white clouds in the sky and the canopy that blocks the noon sun, don't mention how pleasant it is.

"I never imagined that it would be so good to come into the forbidden area of ​​the Hei family. There are good things to pick, and good things to eat. The key environment is very good, full of aura, and there is no danger." A little heavy, he involuntarily closed his eyes.

Hei Xiao was very energetic: "Yeah, now I also want to know what the secret scroll is. In fact, looking at it this way, even if we can't open the secret scroll, it's a good deal for us. There are many mana plants here, and there are no higher-level ones. The monsters need to be dealt with, and the opportunity is rare."

Surrounded by the sound of the wind passing through the treetops, Hei Xiao waited for a while without getting a response from Guo Guo, turned his head and found that the little guy had fallen asleep.With a smile, he rolled over and kissed Guozi on the face, then took out a thin blanket from the Qiankun bag and covered Guozi's body.Although it is summer now, the temperature in the valley is still like spring, not very hot, and there is some wind.

Hei Xiao couldn't fall asleep, and couldn't bear to wake Guo Zi to go on the road.So he began to sit up and practice.Thunder Sable, who saw him practice and tasted the benefits, also moved.Moved from Guozi's arm to Heixiao's leg.

The surrounding light became darker and darker without the two of them noticing, and the darkening speed became faster and faster. Thunder Sable didn't feel anything unusual at first, but when it felt uncomfortable and opened its eyes, the surroundings were already dark. It was pitch black.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Hei Xiao quickly came back to his senses after hearing the sound, and immediately after he came back to his senses, he also noticed that the surrounding energy field didn't feel right.He was startled by the surrounding sky when he opened his eyes, followed by a sharp blue flash in the sky before he woke up Bai Guo, and then there was a deafening thunder.

Guozi usually doesn't die when he sleeps, and he can usually hear someone knocking on the door.But now there was such a loud thunder, and Thunder Sable and Hei Xiao called him that he had no sign of waking up, which frightened Hei Xiao.Seeing that the surroundings began to smell damp, it was about to rain.They really didn't have time to find the next cave or go back to shelter from the rain, so Heixiao built a simple tent as quickly as possible, carried the fruit in, then dug a ditch around the tent, and filled the ditch A long aqueduct was dug out at one end to lead the water to a lower place.

When it started to rain, Hei Xiao asked Thunder Sable to hide in the tent, and the main task was to take care of Bai Guo.He turned into a beast shape and circled back and forth around the tent.He instinctively sensed that there must be some danger nearby.

The rain was getting heavier and the thunder was getting louder.The lightning in the sky flashed intensively, but Bai Guo still didn't wake up.This made Hei Xiao even more anxious.

"Little baby, that little thing behind you looks delicious, how about exchanging it with me?" Suddenly a voice seemed to come from the air, although it was still bursting with thunder, but amidst the thunder, this The sound is exceptionally clear.

Hei Xiao immediately made a fighting stance: "Who are you? Where are you? Come out!"

Almost at the same time as his words fell to the ground, a black leopard suddenly appeared in front of him, with a tuft of blue top hair on its head, and a light blue halo all over its body.

"I can grant you a wish in exchange for that little thing behind you."

Hei Xiao once saw a portrait of a panther with blue top hair.That was what he saw in the study of the Patriarch of the Hei family when he was very young.He knew that it was the ancestor of the Hei family, the portrait of Jing Lei, the original patriarch of the Dark Leopard Clan.The orc in the portrait is almost indistinguishable from the one in front of him.

"Are you Jinglei?"

"Don't you want to be admired and loved by everyone? Supreme power, endless wealth, as long as you give him to me, you can have them all."

The panther's voice seemed to be coming from its own body, not from the other side.Hei Xiao felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment.Especially with his bewitching words again and again, every time he wants to let himself give up Baiguo.This was the last thing he could accept, and the last thing he wanted to hear.

"Don't be delusional! I will not give up the person I love for anything! He is my partner, and I will protect it for the rest of my life!"

Dark Panther laughed.

"Aren't you abandoned by the family? Agree to my conditions, you will own the entire Panther family. Jinglei will return to your body, and you will still have all my power. Aren't you tempted? One does not Small things that belong to this world are not worthy of your cherishment."

"Shut up!" Hei Xiao didn't want to hear any more, his heart was churning all the time, and when his mind got hot, he directly attacked the dark leopard.

Hei Xiao's hunting skills are very good. The Hei family will train the males' physical fitness from the age of four, but the real wild hunting training and skills teaching begin after the talent is judged at the age of ten.Hei Xiao did not learn the hunting skills belonging to the Black Leopard family from the Hei family, but his skills were discovered by himself in the real confrontation with wild beasts and monsters in the forest. Every movement and response method can be said to be his life. back.This is also the reason why he is much more capable than his peers even though he has no one to teach him his skills.

But today, Hei Xiao couldn't touch a hair of this dark leopard.Always when he thought that he would definitely be able to pounce or scratch with his sharp claws, the dark leopard was no longer in the position he had just judged in the blink of an eye.But this dark leopard didn't attack him either, it just dodged his attack.

Hei Xiao didn't know how long it had passed, but the thunder and lightning in the sky were still there, and the rain continued to fall. When he was exhausted, the dark leopard suddenly sent a thunderbolt towards him.

Dodging this magical attack with all his strength, Hei Xiao once again wanted to use his Linhuo.He tried to use it several times before but couldn't use it. This time he was in a hurry and poured all the spiritual power in his body into the palm of his right hand, but when the magic power came out of the palm of his hand, it was not the familiar blue ball Instead of a flame, it was a flash of purple-red lightning.

The lightning fell on the dark leopard, and the dark leopard disappeared without a trace in an instant.In a blink of an eye, the surrounding sky was also recovering at a terrifying speed. The wind stopped and the rain stopped, the thunder and lightning disappeared instantly, and the surroundings returned to the original quiet and peaceful situation.

Hei Xiao was already so tired that every joint in his body ached.He couldn't control the situation of the sky, he was worried about Bai Guo in his heart.

"Guozi! Guozi, wake up!" He crawled to the edge of the tent with the rest of his strength. Fortunately, he saw that Guozi had opened his eyes.

"Hei Xiao. What's wrong with you, Hei Xiao? Don't scare me!" Sitting beside Hei Xiao, Bai Guo didn't know what to do if she made a mistake during cultivation.He had only heard that there would be cases of madness, but he and the mental method he had given to Hei Xiao would never have such a situation, so he hadn't considered it at all.Unexpectedly, as soon as he squinted for a moment, Thunder Sable woke him up, and he saw Hei Xiao surrounded by a cloud of purple-red aura, although he couldn't see any malicious and harmful aura in this aura , but Hei Xiao's expression and profuse sweat also had to make him worry and fear.

Hei Xiao opened his eyes again, and found that Guo Zi looked at him worriedly, and his little face turned pale.Thinking of the situation just now, he immediately tightened Bai Guo's hand: "Guo Zi, do you have any discomfort? Why do you suddenly faint and can't wake up no matter how much you scream?"

Bai Guo was at a loss: "Ah? I didn't. It's because you didn't know what happened when you were practicing, and I couldn't wake you up no matter how I screamed."

"..." Hei Xiao was shocked, and then immediately turned to look around.There was no tent, no trace of tenting, and no drainage ditches dug by himself. Hei Xiao immediately broke into a cold sweat.Then he told Bai Guo what happened to him just now.He doesn't think his experience is fake, because he is still sore all over and has no strength at all.

Bai Guo was also frightened.Hurry up and take out the magic power potion you brought.

"Let's not talk about anything else, just absorb some to replenish your energy."

Since practicing, Hei Xiao has never used magic potion again.In the past, I needed to drink a little bit, but now I don't think it's enough after drinking a bottle.They only brought one bottle of magic power potion, because they didn't expect to use it at all, and they brought a bottle for self-defense.So there is another one, the bottle given by Hei Li's partner.

He checked the fruit before giving it to Hei Xiao.

"Although it's our villain's heart, we still need to check it. It's more than what we brought, and it should be of a higher level. Hei Li's partner should also be a powerful pharmacist."

Hei Xiao tried to drink a little bit, but it still didn't work, so he drank the whole bottle with his last breath.He closed his eyes for a moment to relax, and he felt much more comfortable.

"It's still not enough, but it can only be done like this first. But it's really much more comfortable."

Ginkgo put away all the small porcelain vases.

"I'll make you a lotus cake with lotus seeds and lotus root in a while. It's guaranteed to contain the aura of the steamed luminous lotus. Although it's definitely not as good as medicine, it can be somewhat useful."

Hei Xiao shook his head: "Don't bother. You have worked very hard. Let's have a safe night's rest today, so we can hurry up and go on the road tomorrow. I will talk about it when we get to the cave where the dense rolls are stored. Although there was no thunder or rain just now, it has already entered the rainy season , it could rain anytime.”

Guo Guo didn't insist: "That's fine. But you can still put some in when cooking. Would you like to lie down and rest?"

Hei Xiao smiled: "I still need to lie down after drinking two bottles of magic potion, so I can't continue to complete the task. Don't worry, I just feel that I still need to replenish the magic energy, and my body has recovered. I'd better set it up first." A tent, so that even if it rains, you can have a place to hide."

Guozi nodded: "Yes. Then you..." Just as he said this, Baiguo suddenly noticed a faint purple-red halo on the tip of Hei Xiao's right finger.

"Hei Xiao, your right hand..."
