Chapter 112: Desert Survival Day 12 (8) Xiaoguai is scared of being sucked...
It was a dark and windy night. The moon hung in the sky like a small lamp, and its bright white moonlight sprinkled on the earth. The fire in front of Yu Miaomiao stretched the slowly approaching black and white figure very long.
The fluffy hair, blown by the breeze like a dandelion, shimmers softly in the moonlight. The whole cat is as soft as a burst of fur. The hair around its ears and chest is very thick, which makes the tiger head look very handsome.
Looking at the zebra cat that she had washed so clean and soft, Yu Miaomiao felt a rare sense of joy and comfort in her heart.
Yu Miaomiao stood up and walked towards Xiaoguai. The firelight overlapped her shadow with that of the zebra cat. Two creatures from different realms were able to meet here and live in harmony.
She looked into those sapphire eyes and thought about the card she drew at noon. She wished Xiaoguai could carry her to the treasure place.
Thinking of this, she realized that she was really daring. It was good enough that a cat and a person could perfectly defeat the monsters at night, but she even dared to hope to use Xiaoguai as a safe driving "mount".
No, she just thought about it and didn't dare to really try it. After all, she hadn't figured out Xiaoguai's habits yet.
The entire desert was shrouded in darkness. There were no birds singing in the sky, nor were there any wolves howling or chickens crowing in the distance. It seemed safe tonight.
Xiaoguai walked up to Yu Miaomiao, sniffed her, squatted on the ground, and looked at her with a flattering face.
As she got closer, she could still smell the peachy fragrance from her morning shower and the faint earthy scent of grass mixed with it.
She stretched out her hand, and Xiaoguai naturally raised his head towards her palm, and Yu Miaomiao rubbed it.
She rubbed Xuanruan's fur, and it felt unexpectedly good. When she was taking a shower, she only thought about how to untangle its tangled hair. Unexpectedly, after blow-drying, the hair felt as comfortable as cotton. When she touched its chin along the top of its head, it felt as smooth as silk.
What a magical cat this is.
Yu Miaomiao felt a surge of love in her heart and couldn't help but squat down. After looking into Xiaoguai's eyes for two seconds, she suddenly hugged it and took a deep breath.
Woo, is this the joy of petting a cat?
As soon as she buried her whole face in its soft fur, she was pushed away by a strong force. She lost her balance and sat down on the sand, raising a lot of dust.
When Xiaoguai suddenly sucked this strange human into his head, he pressed his two paw pads against Miaomiao. Although he didn't extend his claws, his strong body still pushed this inexplicable human away.
Seeing its horrified and puzzled look, Yu Miaomiao, who had been pushed to the ground, coughed, quickly brushed the sand off her butt, stood up awkwardly, and said, "Mmm, little darling, you smell so good, I couldn't help it."
After saying that, she wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere between her and Xiaoguai, so she reached out to rub its head again, but it stepped back repeatedly to avoid her.
Well, she was too forceful just now and scared Xiaoguai.
When Yu Miaomiao took a step forward, Xiaoguai took a step back, his body shrank a little, and his tail was clamped tightly to the ground.
Well, she was really afraid of herself. After all, the person opposite her was a doomsday beast, and she was really too excited just now.
To ease the relationship with Xiaoguai, you have to use a tried and tested method - food.
Yu Miaomiao walked back to the fire, placed two pieces of wolf meat on the simple grill, and then chose to roast it at low temperature above the oven, and put in four pieces of bird meat.
This type of oven only needs to be used with a fire and does not require electricity, so it is quite convenient.
She just found a new recipe for hand-torn bird meat clear soup noodles, which requires not only low-temperature roasted bird meat but also wheat noodles.
She plans to use the flour mill to crush the stones tomorrow, and then crush the wheat that was just harvested today.
In the recipe post that 'Fan Shou Jiu Liu' posted before, there was a recipe for clear soup noodles. Some people followed his recipe, but they didn't make level 4 food. They just got ordinary clear soup noodles. The noodles tasted so bland that it was like swallowing plastic strips, hard to swallow and unpalatable.
Several days passed before someone posted the authentic recipe for hand-torn bird meat clear soup noodles, and everyone realized that what he had posted before was wrong. When someone threatened to ask him to recoup the lost wheat and eggs, they discovered that "Backhand is Six" was dead, and they couldn't help but gloat over it in the post.
Yu Miaomiao carefully read his post, trying to find the person who had been hiding behind 'Backhand is Six', but could not find any clues. That person was like an invisible man, existing completely on the forum as 'Backhand is Six', and then disappeared.
The murderer that Api had inquired about had disappeared since he entered normal mode. There was no new movement. Even the people in the Tiandihui thought he might have died in the wind and sand.
After the wolf meat was roasted, Yu Miaomiao picked up two pieces and walked to Xiaoguai. The cold wind blew, and the meat quickly cooled down. The smell was carried to its nose by the wind.
"Meow~" Xiaoguai looked at Yu Miaomiao with a pair of innocent eyes, twitched his ears, followed her hand to look at the piece of barbecue hanging in the air, thought for a moment, and walked over again in small steps.
Sure enough, the food trick always works.
"Be good. After you finish eating, help me guard against the monsters."
Since cat-loving fails, we can only go back to the most primitive cooperation between one cat and one person.
Before throwing the piece of meat to Xiaoguai, Yu Miaomiao pointed to the darkness in the distance, regardless of whether Xiaoguai could understand it or not, even if it thought it was going to find monsters to kill.
After hearing her words, Xiaoguai glanced at Yu Miaomiao, then turned sideways, looking into the distance with half of his vision and paying attention to her with the other half.
Do you understand this?
It would be best if she could understand. Now she just wants to concentrate on making another set of indoor fireplace and condensing fan and sell them at the auction house. Now the new system requires more and more slime for synthesis, and the slime on hand needs to be saved for auction.
Her schedule for tomorrow was quite full. She had to go to the nearby golden treasure early in the morning, which was the one she had just drawn at noon. Then she had to return to the base before the card draw at noon and set off for a new adventure site - Devil's Bend.
I confirmed the matters related to the Devil's Bend again and searched for relevant information in the world. "Chirp~" a familiar bird call came from the sky.
Xiaoguai was halfway through stretching when he and Yu Miaomiao looked at the white shadow in the dark night.
In the morning, she carefully checked the glitter scarecrow and found that the glitter sequins on it were almost broken.
Yu Miaomiao guessed that she was pecked by the ice thorn bird last night when she was practicing the turtle breathing technique. If this thing could attract birds, it could help her delay a lot of time in the battle.
But she fell asleep last night and didn't know what the scarecrow was used for to the ice thorn bird, so after repairing it in the afternoon, she placed the two scarecrows inside and outside the sandbags on the left and right.
After waiting for a long time, until the fresh stewed baba soup in the pot was cooked and cooled for a while, the first bird appeared in the sky.
It's a glowing mini ice thorn bird.
Compared with the bird he saw two days ago, Yu Miaomiao could strangle this bird to death with one hand. When it just showed up, Xiaoguai was already in an ambush posture.
“Whoosh.”
Yu Miaomiao shot the arrow in her hand.
Hit the target with one strike.
The target of the ice thorn bird's flight was not Yu Miaomiao at first, but the scarecrow outside the sandbag. From the side, the ice thorn bird with an arrow stuck in its head immediately lost its light, fell from the sky to the sand, and shook up a layer of sand.
Die already?
The ice thorn bird shot by Yu Miaomiao fell several meters away from the sandbag. Xiaoguai ran over and picked it up in his mouth, then walked back to her with cheerful and light steps.
When he came to her, Xiaoguai opened his mouth, dropped the bird on the ground, shook his wavy tail, sat outside the sandbag, and looked at Yu Miaomiao with hope.
Oh, and eat more.
Just help her pick up an ice bird she killed and ask for a piece of meat. It really knows how to take advantage of others.
When Yu Miaomiao took away the body of the ice thorn bird, Xiaoguai let out an "ow" of dissatisfaction.
"I'll grill it for you now, don't worry." She pointed to the simple barbecue grill and walked back. Looking at Xiaoguai's dry eyes, she sighed helplessly. The wolf meat was used to feed Xiaoguai every day. If this continued, there would be no food with only expenditure. But who would want Xiaoguai to eat it?
The sandstorm came late tonight. There were still two hours left for Yu Miaomiao to roast five pieces of wolf meat before Xiaoguai was full. At this time, there was no sign of a monster outside.
After drinking the soup, Yu Miaomiao still felt that she had not eaten enough. The advantage of having high physical strength is that she will not feel tired even after working for a long time, but the disadvantage is that she can eat more and more.
The air around her gradually turned cooler, and she took out the last portion of her mother's pig's trotters and started to nibble on it.
Xiaoguai, who was washing her face, had no interest in her mother's pig's trotters with the aroma of chopped green onions and meat on her table. She didn't even raise her head and concentrated on washing her face.
If this was the food it wanted to eat, it would have looked over with shining eyes the moment it smelled it.
It seems that Xiaoguai doesn’t like the things the system gives him. He only likes the monster meat in the apocalypse.
The night was exceptionally quiet, with only the crackling sound of burning firewood and the sound of Xiaoguai licking his fur. It was so strange.
After eating, Yu Miaomiao took out the ice thorn bird and dismembered it.
This bird is about one-third the size it was a few days ago. It looks like it hasn't grown up yet. It runs out to hunt humans at such a young age, and there are no other flocks of birds following it. Is there no monster near it?
She looked again at the arrow that was stuck in its head. The arrow she shot had pierced both of its eyeballs, and the hard lump in the ice thorn bird's eye was also pierced by the arrow.
When did she become such a good archer? How come she didn't know?
She never missed her target. If she had this skill, she wouldn't have had to work so hard in the past two days.
So, was this a coincidence, or was it her ability to get it in seconds?
I took a look at the panel. Except for the wisdom value being much higher than yesterday, there were no other major changes, and there were no additional titles.
Could it be that because of her high intelligence, her archery accuracy has improved? She was afraid of monsters coming before, but today Yu Miaomiao really wanted to get another one to test it out.
I've finished working on the indoor fireplace and condenser fan, but still no other living creatures have appeared. This night is so weird.
Xiaoguai, who was outside the sandbag, was also yawning, with his head resting on his crossed hands, forming a "hen squat" posture, and his eyes slowly closed.
Because they agreed not to send messages in the group chat at night so as not to disturb the other two people who were ready to fight, Yu Miaomiao had to open the world chat to see what the other survivors were saying.
Everyone in the world was either asking for warm clothes or talking about how difficult the last wave of furry monsters was to deal with. No one mentioned that tonight was Christmas Eve, except her.
People are really strange. Even though they are safe, they become more nervous, fearing that it is the calm before the storm.
The recipe also mentioned a raspberry-stuffed mammoth, which is a bit complicated to make. Why not make it while we wait? After all, berries only provide a little energy, are quite sour, and have little water content, making them unsuitable for eating directly.
After thinking it over, she took out 10 raspberries from her backpack, put them in a small pot and started to make raspberry jam, and threw two pieces of balsam leaves into the fire.
This food sounds a bit like a dark dish. She plans to try making one first to see how the finished product tastes. It takes 30 minutes to cook, which is just enough time for the next sandstorm to come.
While Yu Miaomiao was stirring the raspberry jam, Xiaoguai just raised his eyelids to take a look, then squinted his eyes again, as if he was not very interested in what she was doing.
Browsing the world chat and other people's new farewell posts to the world, when only a thin layer of sticky bottom was left of the jam, still no third creature arrived.
Weird, so weird.
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the time and shouted to Xiaoguai, "Xiaoguai, a sandstorm is coming soon. I have to go inside. I'll say goodbye tonight. See you tomorrow."
After saying that, she checked Xiaoguai's emotional state and saw that it was not as nervous as before. Although it raised its head, its body did not stand up. It stared at her as she returned to the house.
What's wrong? Xiaoguai is also acting abnormally. Usually, when he knows she is going back to the house, he will wander around in circles and feel very uneasy. But today he is like a normal cat.
With deep doubts, Yu Miaomiao sat on the bed and began to practice the new turtle breathing technique, and added points to the newly obtained personal panel values, still focusing on the physical value.
In a daze, she seemed to hear several message reminders, but sleepiness wrapped tightly around her head. She woke up for a second, took a look at the message that seemed to be from "嘤嘤怪", and then continued to sleep without paying attention.
