Chapter 350 Little Confused Curiosity
In the darkness of night, Chi Yao led Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu to quickly cross the stone bridge and step onto the red soil area.
A faint fishy smell came from under their feet. The red soil seemed to be soaked in blood. Moreover, all the vegetation growing in the red soil area was unusually tall, with dense green grass. Several large trees in the distance were dozens of meters high.
Chi Yao became more alert, concentrated his mind, and sent out his senses to scout the surroundings and confirm the direction.
"This area near the stone bridge is relatively safe, but we are going to enter the red soil area next. You all should be careful."
"Our next goal is to go to this mountainous area, where there is fresh water and a resting area suitable for camping."
Chi Yao briefly explained the next destination, and Brother Wusan nodded seriously to indicate that he understood. Xiao Mihu was the same as before, with a slightly confused expression, but after seeing Brother Wusan nod, she also nodded.
Chi Yao glanced at Xiao Mi Hu. The assassin disguised as an auxiliary nurse behaved fairly steadily along the way and did not make any extraordinary moves. Chi Yao did not intend to intervene. After all, the three of them were just a temporary team. And judging from the content of the original book, Chi Yao knew that as long as he did not reveal Xiao Mi Hu's hidden identity, they could still get along well. After all, in the original book, Xiao Mi Hu spared Brother Wu San even if he was exposed.
Of course, Chi Yao would not completely trust Xiao Mi Hu. He still had the necessary vigilance. If Xiao Mi Hu really turned against him suddenly during the battle, he would have a backup plan to deal with it.
With his inner thoughts surging, Chi Yao still showed a kind smile to Brother Wu San and Xiao Mi Hu on the surface.
"Okay, let's hurry up and set off."
——
In the dim night, the three of them kept moving forward on the red soil, and gradually got used to the faint fishy smell in the air.
Squeak-squeak-squeak-
In the darkness, a strange sound came from not far away, which made Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu instantly nervous, and immediately looked in the direction of the sound.
Chi Yao's perception has been maintained all around, and he immediately detected the perception and said.
"It is a native creature similar to a mouse looking for food. There is no danger. Keep moving forward."
Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu looked at each other, did not refute Chi Yao's idea, and immediately followed Chi Yao's pace to the destination.
As time passed, the red soil area gradually entered the deep night. The nocturnal animals here began their night life time one after another, making bursts of movement. All kinds of trivial sounds made the three people tense their nerves. After all, they didn't know what kind of enemies they would encounter at night.
Fortunately, Chi Yao and the other two were quite lucky. They basically didn't encounter attacks from native creatures along the way. It was also because Chi Yao and the other three encountered small animals. These animals were very sensitive and would not provoke creatures that were far more powerful than themselves.
In this way, Chi Yao and the other two had a smooth journey and arrived at the mountainous area in about three hours.
Chi Yao stood on the red soil plain and looked at a mountain forest a few dozen meters away. He hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu and said.
"If we spend the night in the forest, the danger is higher. Let's camp outside the forest to rest. Do you have any suggestions?"
Brother Wusan nodded and responded immediately.
"Of course no problem. You are the captain and you are experienced. I will listen to you."
Xiao Mihu held his hands and in front of him, his voice soft.
"Well, I have no problem either."
Gurgle gurgle——
As she spoke, Xiao Mihu's stomach made a sound. Her face was slightly red. She covered her stomach and looked at Chi Yao and Brother Wusan a little embarrassed.
"I, I won't eat a lot of your food."
Brother Wusan saw Xiao Mihu's look and couldn't help looking at Chi Yao, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. Even if he cared about Xiao Mihu, he knew that he couldn't rashly say that Chi Yao had a space storage prop. It depended on whether Chi Yao was willing or not.
Seeing the look in the eyes of Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu, Chi Yao had no intention of hiding it. The three of them had already formed a temporary team. It was difficult to hide the existence of the space storage prop from Xiao Mihu, who had been with them all the time. It would be better to show it to him, of course, only a part of it.
Chi Yao found a flat terrain and took out the swallowing capsule, from which he took out a bunch of outdoor living supplies, such as detachable tents, sleeping bags, various kitchen utensils and food, etc.
Seeing Chi Yao casually take out several things out of thin air, Xiao Mihu's eyes widened a little, and his mouth opened so wide that it seemed like an egg could be laid.
"This, is this a space storage prop? You actually prepared this in advance!"
Chi Yao handed the detachable tent to Brother Wusan, explained it briefly, and once again threw the blame on the leader.
"Well, I collected relevant information and made sufficient preparations before entering the survival trial."
"Brother Wusan, please assemble the tent. I need to prepare dinner."
When Brother Wusan, who had already tasted Chi Yao's cooking, heard that Chi Yao was going to make dinner, his eyes lit up immediately. He took the detachable tent and began to assemble it with great enthusiasm.
"Okay! Leave it to me! I miss the delicious food you made!"
Little Mihu looked back and forth at Brother Wusan and Chi Yao who were already busy. Why did the atmosphere suddenly change to that of a picnic in the wild? She hesitated for a moment, but decided to walk to Brother Wusan who was closer to her and asked.
"Brother Wusan, did you know Huiyao before?"
Brother Wusan kept assembling the tent, but decided to keep some information and give Xiao Mihu a general explanation.
"Well, actually we met at the beginning of the survival trial. Brother Huiyao saved me at that time, so I just followed him."
Xiao Mihu nodded and looked at Chiyao who had already started a fire, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, 'You aroused my curiosity~~'
Chi Yao didn't care about Xiao Mihu's gaze, but focused on the ingredients in front of him. Although Chi Yao didn't think of himself as a pure chef, he should still maintain basic respect for food and cooking!
Considering that there were outsiders present and it was in the red soil area in the wilderness, Chi Yao decided to keep it simple and only use wind and fire magic to make a quick decision.
Chi Yao took out the previously marinated mutton, cut it into appropriate sizes, and placed it on a flat iron plate.
Chi Yao's left hand was placed under the iron plate. The fire elements were arranged uniformly according to Chi Yao's thoughts, forming a uniform and dense layer of heating flames on the iron plate. With his right hand, he took out a piece of butter and placed it on the iron plate. With the sound of "sizzling", the butter melted. Under the heating and baking, the marinated mutton gradually exuded an attractive burnt aroma.
In order to prevent the smell of fireworks and food from spreading, Chi Yao deliberately used wind magic to form a protective belt to wrap and isolate the iron plate, and collected all the smells that drifted out.
This led to the fact that after Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu, who had completed the assembly of the tent, stood beside Chi Yao, they could clearly see that the bright red mutton was gradually dyed with burnt color. They could only hear the sound of sizzling gravy and butter, but could not smell any aroma that food should have.
Chi Yao naturally sensed the approach of the two people, and before the two asked questions, he took the lead in explaining.
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon. There is no smell because I used wind magic to deal with it to avoid attracting red earth creatures."
Wu Sanxiong and Xiao Mi Hu looked at each other, and Xiao Mi Hu looked at Chi Yao in surprise and asked.
"Can magic be used like this?"
Chi Yao answered while turning the roasted lamb over, "Of course, the application of magic is limited to the user's thinking ability and imagination."
A few minutes later, Chi Yao, who carefully controlled the firepower, had finished roasting. He waved his free right hand, and the isolation range was expanded to a radius of five meters, covering the three people.
A mouth-watering aroma burst out from the roasted lamb, directly filling the noses of Wu Sanxiong and Xiao Mi Hu, making their eyes a little blurred.
"Good, it smells so good"
Chi Yao took out the box, packed the roasted lamb, and put in a few pieces of heated bread as the staple food, and handed it to Wu Sanxiong and Xiao Mi Hu.
"Okay, let's eat. After eating, we'll rest. We'll enter the mission area tomorrow."
"Hmm!" The two took the food boxes in unison and started eating. When they took a bite, the meat juice splashed out. The burnt aroma of the meat and the fennel of the spices overlapped layer by layer, as if forming a perfect echo that made people's lips and teeth fragrant.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Mihu looked at Chi Yao with a brighter look. Her favorability towards Chi Yao increased a lot, at least to the level of Brother Wusan, and her curiosity became more and more vigorous.
Chi Yao collected the food boxes and smells, walked to the tent and began to arrange the protective and early warning array. When the arrangement was completed, Brother Wusan and Xiao Mihu had already entered the sleeping bag.
Chi Yao thought about it, arranged a secret protective array around his sleeping bag, and let Yaya stay by his side.
"Ying——" Yaya also sensibly lowered her voice, indicating that she knew it could protect her master!
Chi Yao smiled, touched Yaya's little head, and fell asleep.
