Chapter 70

From the capital back to Dolei City, Jiang Li and Augustus returned along the same route, but this time they were traveling with one less person. On the way, they saw familiar scenery along the way.

When watching the familiar mountain with a missing corner appear in the distance, Jiang Li said, "Are we approaching Dolei City soon?"

"Yes." Augustus sighed, "The speed of the car is really too fast. If we were riding in a carriage, we might have just arrived at the capital by now."

Especially since they brought enough food, they didn't need to receive supplies in other cities on the way. They wouldn't be affected by the cold winter when camping outdoors in the summer. They didn't need to go around to find villages and cities. They could stop and camp at any time. Because of the props for warning and the magic set before going to bed, they didn't have to worry about being attacked by monsters in the middle of the night.

Along the way, they did encounter monster attacks, but one was a powerful magician and the other was a warrior with sufficient experience in fighting monsters, so they easily solved the obstacles. Moreover, most of the monsters could not catch up with the speed of their car.

Seeing the familiar place, memories came flooding back.

Augustus said expectantly: "Jiang Li, shall we eat snail noodles tonight?"

"No."

"Why?!" "

Didn't we have it at noon?" "

Then..." Augustus thought for a while, "Shall we have hot pot?"

Jiang Li stepped on the brakes. The scenery outside the car window was very familiar. It was the place where they had camped last time. The mountain with a missing corner not far away has become one of the decorations of the sunset in the sky. They need to stay here for another night.

Jiang Li remembered the rations he prepared before going out. Dolei City was just around the corner. If everything went well, they would be able to arrive tomorrow, and there was still a large part of the stock that had not been consumed. He was a little too well prepared.

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Okay, let's eat hot pot."

However, unlike the popular hot pot in the other world, they had something different today.

When Jiang Li opened the ice box and took out the semi-finished dish that had been stored for a long time, Augustus' eyes widened.

"Jiang Li? What is this?"

The ice box is a magic prop in the other world that functions like a refrigerator. It can keep the items stored in it at a lower temperature. The young city lord Dean often uses it to store ice cream. Therefore, when Jiang Li took out the things stored in it, a layer of cold frost floated on the packaging box when it was exposed to heat, and the things inside were still frozen hard.

He brushed off the white frost covering the name of the product, "Pork belly chicken."

"Pork belly...chicken?" Augustus couldn't help asking, "Is this a hot pot?"

"Of course."

The method is also very simple. Just wait for it to thaw naturally, and after heating it, it will be a pot of steaming delicious pork belly chicken soup. Not only can you drink the soup, but you can also add other ingredients to the hot pot. Thanks to pre-prepared meals, he can still eat Chinese food that tastes almost the same when traveling in another world!

While waiting for the pork belly chicken to thaw, with the expectation of new food, Augustus picked up his sword and went to hunt monsters with high spirits to add to today's rich dinner.

Jiang Li set up the table, put up the stove, and continued to rummage through the luggage, taking out more side dishes for the next meal. Beef balls, cuttlefish balls, lettuce, potatoes... After a while, the washed ingredients were cut and placed all over the table.

Augustus was gone for a long time.

It was not until the pork belly and chicken were thawed and boiling in the pot that he came back dragging a small monster. He said in confusion: "Strange, why are the monsters here gone? I ran a long way to find such a thing."

"Maybe it's just bad luck." Jiang Li said casually.

The milky white pork belly and chicken soup in the pot has been heated up. A few wolfberries and red dates are rolling in the boiling soup. The air is filled with a rich and mellow fragrance, and the faint aroma of pepper tempts the hungry stomach.

Jiang Li is not in a hurry to add side dishes to the hot pot, but scoops out two bowls of soup first. Augustus hurriedly processed the monster he brought back, put it on the fire to roast, and then couldn't wait to take his own bowl.

The milky white soup exudes a rich aroma, and the long strips of pork belly and chicken are soaked in the soup, exuding an attractive color. Drinking soup before eating hot pot, this is the first time I have encountered it. Augustus did not question Jiang Li's method and held up the small bowl with trust.

The moment the soup entered his mouth, his eyes widened in surprise.

So delicious!

The mellow and thick soup was clear and milky white, not greasy at all. After entering his mouth, he felt as if his whole body was washed by a smooth stream of water, and his stomach felt warm. The faint aroma of pepper stimulated his taste buds. Before he could react, the soup in the bowl had been drunk up, leaving only the ingredients at the bottom of the bowl and the delicious taste of chicken soup in his mouth.

Augustus did not let go of the remaining ingredients in the bowl. The chicken was tender and the pork tripe was crispy. Especially the pork tripe, which was crispy and chewy, without any fishy smell. He never knew that pig's internal organs could be made so delicious.

A small bowl of pepper pork belly and chicken soup was quickly eaten up.

Jiang Li scooped him another bowl with a large spoon, and then began to add side dishes.

Chewy beef balls, tender and delicious vegetables, soft potatoes... After being cooked in the rich pepper pork belly and chicken soup, the taste is even better, and it is delicious without dipping sauce. It has a completely different taste from the clear soup hot pot we usually eat.

Augustus also found with regret that after adding other side dishes, the taste of the original delicious and rich soup had changed a little, and it was no longer as delicious as it was at the beginning. No wonder Jiang Li asked him to drink a bowl of soup first.

However, even with the change, it is still very delicious!

Even a giant dragon couldn't resist such a delicacy!

Augustus feasted on it!

The fire burned slowly, and together with the light bulb, it brought light to this small camping site. White mist rolled out of the boiling pot, dissipating with the fragrance. Unfortunately, in this empty forest shrouded by the night, the monsters fled in a hurry, and even the passing birds did not dare to stay, and no one shared it with them.

Rustle, rustle.

Attracted by the fragrance, behind the leaves shrouded by the night, a pair of gilded vertical pupils appeared.

...

Serego is a dragon.

Among the races of Lalan Continent, dragons have always stood at the top of the food chain. They were born in the darkness and flames of the underground, with bodies that can smash mountains, a pair of wings that can block out the sun when spread out, rugged horns, a strong and powerful tail, and scales covering the whole body that are invulnerable to swords and guns.

Not only do they have strong bodies and earth-shattering power, but they also have long lives like elves, are majestic and powerful, and have almost no weaknesses. They are a race favored by the goddess.

But now, Serego encountered a problem.

He only remembered that he slept for a very long time.

Before sleeping, he had a good fight with his black fellows, and then went to a nearby buffet. After eating a full meal, he felt sleepy. The surging sleepiness made him unable to fly steadily. After hitting his head, he simply lay down on the ground.

After falling asleep, metabolism will also become slow. He took a long nap until the food in his stomach was finally consumed. His belly was groggy, and he finally woke up from hunger. After

waking up from his nap, Serego stayed in the crib for a while until he felt that his reason was about to be captured by hunger. Then he shook his wings, flicked his tail, and prepared to find another buffet nearby.

Just as he was about to leave this short nap place, he smelled a strange fragrance.

In Serego's long dragon life, he had never smelled such a fragrant smell, which made him stop immediately.

The dragon smells! The dragon wants! The dragon gets!

However, when he followed the scent, he only saw two humans.

Two weak humans. And the source of the scent in front of them, a pot of unknown soup, which the humans were enjoying happily.

Serego was in a dilemma.

So little?

It was gone after two licks.

He saw the humans put vegetables in. Serego hated vegetables. Why not go to the buffet? He smelled the scent of Gru beef in the air.

But they were eating so deliciously... How could it smell so delicious... So delicious... Slurp...

Suddenly, one of the humans stood up vigilantly and picked up the sword next to him: "Who is there?!"

...

Jiang Li and Augustus looked at the source of the smell vigilantly.

In the forest shrouded by the night, except for the small area where they were, the surroundings were all plunged into darkness. In the dark forest, danger is very easy to hide.

Augustus pointed his sword at the darkness, and Jiang Li also took out his staff.

Rustling.

Some creature pushed aside the grass and walked out of the darkness.

They held their breath carefully until the creature came to them and was exposed to the firelight, then they realized that it was actually a person.

The person had short red hair as hot as flames and a pair of golden eyes. For a moment, Jiang Li seemed to see the vertical pupils like animals, but when he looked again, he found that it was his illusion. Although his hair and eyes were bright, his skin was a dark color burned by the sun. The strong contrast between light and dark made his golden eyes even brighter, as if the flames were reflected in them.

At this moment, in his golden eyes, there was only a pot of...pork stomach and chicken soup? ? ?

Jiang Li couldn't help but look back at the steaming pot.

"Human?" Augustus was stunned for a moment: "Are you an adventurer nearby?"

Serego didn't say anything, nor did he look at the two humans, let alone this camp that was different from the usual style. His attention was all attracted by the pot of milky white soup.

At this moment, the pot of soup was very close. Compared with the faint fragrance that came with the wind before, the sensitive sense of smell was almost completely filled with the fragrance of the pot of soup. The whole dragon seemed to be immersed in a magic trap made of fragrance.

How could it smell so good!

"Gulp--"

Jiang Li and Augustus looked at each other.

"Gulp--"

The belly sounds were getting louder and louder, coming from this strange human who suddenly appeared.

Since it was a human, the magic props he carried did not send out warnings of encountering monsters, and Jiang Li and Augustus quickly relaxed.

He looked like a lost adventurer, with no companions around him. He had been hungry for a long time, and his cries of hunger were getting louder and louder, which sounded particularly pitiful.

Jiang Li brought out a folding stool and said, "If you don't mind, come and have something to eat."
