My backyard leads to wilderness

Zhong Ning, who had lost his memory, became inexplicably sharpened, and he quickly noticed the change in Sinclair's attitude.Although he didn't quite understand what caused Sinclair's sudden change, Zhong Ning took the opportunity to start cooking to stop the conversation with Jacob.Although he has lost his memory, he still understands the truth of saying more and more mistakes.

Refocusing his attention on the ingredients in front of him, Zhong Ning originally thought that he would be a little helpless, but he didn't expect that when he really picked up the kitchen knife, the movements of his hands were as natural as breathing and walking.

Blood rainbow lion tenderloin stir-fried green water celery, rock mushroom and stone fungus stir-fried phoenix goose eggs, the bear's paw version of the earth's muscles and brains, spicy purple jade frog hind legs, plus a bowl of unstained alpine meat for each person Soup made from snow lotus petals of Drunken Dreams tormented by snow.Although there is no staple food for a meal, it still looks rich.

Joyce came back just in time for dinner, with the icy moisture on his body that hadn't dissipated.It seems that he went to take a cold bath under the mountain stream, Zhong Ning firmly denied that he was the one who forced Joyce to take a cold bath.

Fortunately, Joyce came back in a hurry, otherwise, if he didn't come back, the four people, including Zhong Ning, would have to be hungry first.Leftovers for the boss?I don't want to die!

The four of them sat around the dining table that Titus temporarily cut down a pine tree, waiting for Joyce to raise his chopsticks first.

"Drunk dream snow lotus?" Joyce picked up the bowl of clear yellowish soup in front of him, stared at Zhong Ning and raised his eyebrows.Such a big loss after eating Drunken Dream Snow Lotus, how dare this little guy use it to make soup?

"The stamens were picked out, and only the petals were put." Zhong Ning was stared at by Joyce, feeling a little faint, and explained very quickly.

Joyce heard this and didn't ask any more questions.Instead, he raised the bowl in front of him and took a sip.The clear soup made from Drunken Dream snow lotus and a little moonlight golden osmanthus honey is rich and fragrant, sweet and palatable. Although Joyce doesn't eat sweets very much, he still thinks it tastes good.

He picked up his chopsticks and took another bite of the rock mushroom ear, chewing quietly without making a sound.Zhong Ning glanced sideways at Joyce and saw that he seemed very satisfied, so he relaxed and concentrated on the food in front of him.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was treated under coercion by Joyce, and Zhong Ning had a deep psychological shadow on this big guy who seemed to have a bad temper.

Since Joyce didn't seem to be in a good mood, everyone at the table followed the principle of not talking when eating or sleeping, and finished dinner in silence all the way.Until the end of the dinner, the four plates with visible bottoms showed that everyone seemed to be very satisfied with Zhong Ning's cooking.

After dinner, Jacob consciously packed away the bowls and chopsticks for washing, and then Zhong Ning saw the other three, headed by Joyce, begin to meditate cross-legged in the center of the fireball.

"You guys sleep like this at night?" Zhong Ning crept up from the spot, walked to the only Jacob who hadn't started to meditate, pointed to the three people who were meditating cross-legged, and asked in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's not that particular about going out. Brother Zhong, if you're not used to it, I still have a lot of soft animal skins in my interspatial ring, which I can lend you as mattresses." Jacob quickly used the water polo technique After cleaning the dishes, he answered with a smile.

"No need, no need, I have it here." When Zhong Ning was looking through the space ring before cooking, he found that besides all kinds of meat, there were dozens of animal skins inside, and he didn't know what happened before he lost his memory. How many monsters have been fought, and so many furs have been saved.Could it be that he was a hunter before?

After inquiring and confirming that the four people really planned to rest by meditating like this, Zhong Ning was also a little embarrassed to lie down and sleep soundly by himself.Then he followed the crowd and picked out the thickest-looking bear skin of the Earth Bear from the space ring and spread it on the ground. Next to the four of them, he found a corner farthest from Joyce and sat down cross-legged. Meditate and practice the magic power.

In the first hour or two, Zhong Ning could still meditate very easily; from the third hour onwards, Zhong Ning could no longer maintain a state of full concentration; on the fifth hour, Zhong Ning began to feel drowsy; on the sixth hour... ... Zhong Ning didn't know what he did for the sixth hour, maybe he fell asleep?

Anyway, when Zhong Ning got up early the next morning, he was already lying on the animal skin and sleeping soundly, and his body was covered with a black blanket made of unknown monster fur that was soft and warm to the touch.Who is so kind to cover himself with a blanket?Probably Jacob?Last night he also said that he would lend himself fur as a bedding.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ning folded the soft blanket neatly, carried it to Jacob who was washing next to him, and said, "Jacob, thank you for covering me with the blanket last night!"

Unexpectedly, Jacob waved his hands again and again when he heard the words, and said, "No, brother Zhong, I didn't cover you with the blanket, so I dare not take credit for it."

Jacob was washing his hands just now, and the drops of water on his hands hadn't had time to wipe off, when he waved his hand, the drops of water splashed everywhere.Zhong Ning backed away again and again, but it was inevitable that some water droplets would be thrown onto the blanket in his arms.

This is someone else's blanket, it's not good to get wet to some extent, Zhong Ning hastily wiped the water droplets on it with his sleeve, and asked: "Then... do you know who helped me cover the quilt?"

Hearing this, Jacob didn't answer Zhong Ning directly, but suddenly approached Zhong Ning and said in a low voice, "Who else? Guess for yourself."

Uh... I really don't know, please let me know directly, thank you.Although Zhong Ning complained so much, he seemed to be able to vaguely guess whose blanket was in his arms.

Leaving from Jacob's side, Zhong Ning turned to peek at the man who was still sitting cross-legged in meditation.Hmm... It seems that there are still drops of water on the edge of his hair. He should have finished washing and went back to meditate.

"It's such a mad cultivator, no wonder the strength is so high." Zhong Ning murmured, put the blanket back into the interspatial ring for a while, then turned around and flew down the mountain stream to wash up.The water in Tianchi is too cold this day, he is not as invulnerable to cold and heat as Jacob.

When Zhong Ning's figure disappeared on the edge of the cliff, Joyce, who was still meditating just now, suddenly opened his eyes, and the expression in his eyes was dim.He didn't know why, last night he saw that person curled up on the animal skin with his hands folded around his chest, he seemed to feel very cold, so he chose the warmest night animal skin from the space ring and covered Zhong Ning with it. .It had been a long time since this soft emotion had faded from Joyce.

Sinclair saw it and didn't know whether this change was good or bad.Joyce himself will always have something to consider, right?After all, that was the backbone of all of them.

After breakfast, the clouds in the cloudless sky began to accumulate slowly, changing from bright and lovely white to black clouds.Joyce looked up at the sky and exchanged glances with the other three.

Sinclair got up first, and jumped into the water of Tianchi together with Titus Jacob.

Zhongning: w(Д)w

"Let's go." Joyce said to Zhong Ning.

"I...do I want to go into the water too?" Zhong Ning looked at the Tianchi Lake surrounded by ice and snow. Just looking at the water would freeze people into popsicles, right?

"A blizzard is coming, don't you want to stay here alone?" Joyce asked.

"No, I don't want to." Although Zhong Ning said so, his feet remained motionless as if stuck to the ground with 502 glue.

Seeing this, Joyce smiled helplessly, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhong Ning by the back collar, picked him up like a chicken, and swept him towards the water surface of Tianchi.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Can you let me make a quasi..."

"Puff-"

"...Prepare." Still maintaining the posture of opening his teeth and claws when he entered the water, Zhong Ning found himself covered with a transparent light film at some point.In this layer of light film, he can maintain the same breathing as on the water surface, and he can't even feel the biting cold that he originally expected.Zhong Ning reached out his hand curiously to poke it, and found that it could change shape at will according to his movements.

"Follow me." Joyce had let go of the restraint on Zhong Ning at some point, reminded him, and took the lead to swim deeper into the water.

Zhong Ning didn't know the way at all, so if he dared to fall, he naturally followed Joyce and continued down.

After diving for about 600 meters, Zhong Ning and Joyce arrived at an underwater cave.On the outside of the cave is a light mask that is very similar to the light film on his body. After entering the light mask, the scenery in front of him simply makes Zhong Ning exclaim, wow!Who is so perverted to build a palace on this underwater cliff!

The interior space of this cave is so large that Zhong Ning wonders if its owner has hollowed out the entire mountain. The floor with beautiful patterns seems to be polished and paved with the most beautiful gemstones, which can be seen; There are domes tens of meters high, thick curtains shining like silk, and door curtains carved with strings of crystal gemstones as walls, completing a semi-open cut to the entire space.The faint blue crystal crystals are scattered throughout the palace, acting as natural lighting, illuminating the entire space in the cave, like a fairyland.

"Is this the East Sea Dragon Palace?" Looking at the magnificent palace in front of him, Zhong Ning couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Dragon Palace? That's right." Joyce, who was walking beside Zhong Ning, heard his words and replied.

"In three days, the water in the Tianchi Lake will be frozen, and it won't be unsealed until a month later. During this period, the concentration of magic elements in the cave will reach its peak. At this time, practicing at this time will get twice the result with half the effort. Sinclair and the others will take advantage of the opportunity in these two days Break through your respective realms, and you also practice with them, so don't slack off." Joyce said, pointing to the largest room in the cave, and said: "I didn't expect you to be there at the time, so I only prepared four Room. This month, you will practice in the same room as me."

"Ah... huh? Good!" Sharing a room with the boss = being supervised by the boss to practice, suddenly the pressure is great!Zhong Ning glanced at the other three closed doors, but did not see Sinclair and the other three. He guessed that the three of them should have started to practice, so he didn't want to bother him any more.

"Boss, Sinclair and the others just went in for retreat? Will they come out for three meals a day?" Zhong Ning asked.

"No." Joyce's words were as concise as ever.

"Then what do they eat? Aren't they hungry?" Zhong Ning asked again.

"There is a potion that can replenish nutrients for a long time, and a bottle can last for a week without eating." Joyce said.

"Bigudan?" The word suddenly popped up in Zhong Ning's mind.

"What's that?" Joyce had never heard the word.

"I can't tell. It should have the same function as the potion you mentioned just now." Zhong Ning said, and the words of the explanation became blank again at the edge of his mind.

Joyce nodded, took out a bottle of black magic potion from the interspatial ring, handed it to Zhong Ning and said, "This is it, drink it, and start practicing."
