"Don't worry, the 'puppet' can only be used once. The black beast that has continuously absorbed vitality will enter a lazy state similar to being 'full', and will not eat again for at least several months." Zhou Yanzhi saw Xiao Yu's fear and reached out to hold him in his arms to comfort him.
Xiao Yu felt no comfort at all and said, "How about we go somewhere else?" Not only were there many wild beasts here, but there were also ghosts and zombies. It was like a collection of all the species that he was physically afraid of.
Zhou Yanzhi: "Are you so scared?"
"I'm afraid of ghosts."
"I remember that the land god can control ghosts?" Zhou Yanzhi transmitted this message using his spiritual consciousness.
"It feels different." Xiao Yu frowned. "I feel like everything I've encountered before was fake. This place is materialized. Oh, and last night's feeling was just like the infinite horror in a small, ahem, storybook."
Zhou Yanzhi looked at Xiao Yu, wondering how he was going to tell the child that the Windy Wasteland not only had these puppet minions, but also the Skeleton Army. The Skeleton Army appeared in winter, and although they only had mechanical attacks, they hid in the heavy snow, making them difficult to defend against.
"...Once we make some money, we'll move into the inner city. There's a special formation in the inner city that puppets can't enter."
Xiao Yu: ...
☆
Didn't sleep all night.
Although he was sleepy, Xiao Yu couldn't sleep as long as he thought about what he saw last night.
Seeing this, Zhou Yanzhi directly pulled the person to the door to practice Tai Chi.
After practicing Tai Chi over and over again, and deliberately stimulating the spiritual energy to flow throughout his body, Xiao Yu was sweating profusely and finally felt like he could fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yanzhi immediately stopped his practice, threw a dust-repelling talisman at the two of them, picked them up and carried them back into the cave, where he laid them on the ground covered with weeds and quilts.
This was not enough. Taking advantage of the confusion among people, he dragged them to do two hours of in-depth and easy-to-understand "morning exercises".
Xiao Yu couldn't remember the weird things that happened last night. He just wondered why the older Mr. Zhou was so torturous when doing this kind of thing. He wasn't as clean and efficient as the younger Mr. Zhou.
☆
Because of what happened last night, not only did Xiao Yu and his wife not go out that day, but the street outside their house was also deserted. Only the occasional smell of barbecue wafting from the surroundings indicated that there were still many people alive in the outer city.
Xiao Yu woke up around dusk. By then, Zhou Yanzhi had already dealt with a dozen "big geese" and a dozen wild slaves.
Xiao Yu sat on the bed for a while. Although he felt something strange in his body, he was not as unable to get out of bed as before.
Following the recipe from yesterday afternoon, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi roasted half of the 'goose' and half of the 'suckling pig' in the cave, and chopped up the rest of the 'goose' for frying, stewing, and braising.
'Suckling pig' can be braised, fried, stewed, steamed or braised.
When cutting the meat, Xiao Yu discovered that the skin of the barbarian slave was really thick, at least 2.5 centimeters. An ordinary kitchen knife couldn't even leave a white mark on the skin.
When Zhou Yanzhi processed it, he burned the fur with "fire" and scraped the skin with the small sword of the God of War Seal.
War God Yin Xiaojian: -_-||...I'm already autistic, thank you.
☆
In order to make fried, stewed, or steamed pork edible, the skin of the barbarians was peeled off. This skin is said to be useful as a material for refining weapons.
But their current cultivation level is not suitable for this business.
So, after braising the goose and skinning the suckling pig, Xiao Yu added a lot of hawthorns to the braising soup, mixed it with a few pieces of pork belly with skin, and cooked it overnight.
Maybe I put too much hawthorn in it. The next morning, I could chew the "pig skin", but the taste was not very good.
Xiao Yu thought about it, turned on the oil pan again, and fried it again. Then he fried some of it and soaked the rest in the re-cooked sauce as a snack.
The main reason is that this thing tastes like beef tendon, and I feel sorry for it if I don’t treat it as a snack.
The fried and stir-fried pork skin is very tender, just like the 'roast pork', and is very popular with the four treasures.
☆
On the third day after arriving in Tulong Town, the people in the town seemed to have forgotten something and became lively again.
After finishing their breakfast, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi passed by the street and wanted to sell the remaining phoenixes, but the price was surprisingly low.
"This is an upper-mid-level wild beast, and it's only one spirit stone?" Xiao Yu argued with the buyer. "I'm in Huwei City, and one like this would cost at least ten spirit stones."
"I said that the price of spiritual rice and spiritual wheat is thirty spirit stones per pound. Will you sell it to me?" The guy was not willing to be outdone.
Xiao Yu had a bitter face, and the waiter took the opportunity to say, "Daoyou, we transported it from Tulong Town to your Huwei City, and the distance alone is more than just this amount of spirit stones."
"That's too cheap. Let me think about it."
The waiter had seen many new cultivators unable to accept the prices in Tulong Town, so he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. If you have made up your mind, you can come back to us. By the way, we also collect spiritual fruits and various wild fruits."
"Do you want to collect this? How do you collect it?" Xiao Yu took out a handful of hawthorns.
The man took one look and took a deep breath, "This sour fruit, one hundred pounds for ten spirit beads."
Xiao Yu: ...Am I back to being a social slave again?
"How many?"
Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "But, less than ten kilograms."
"Then you should keep it for yourself! We buy this kind of fruit here, and the minimum order is 100 kilograms."
“…”
☆
Because the price was not ideal, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi ended up not selling anything. Instead, when they passed by a stall selling spiritual rice and spiritual wheat, they spent 100 spiritual stones to buy inferior spiritual rice and spiritual wheat.
