Chapter 29 (1/2)

It's better to have two dogs than one. Although he was still in the forest and covered with leaves under his body, Zhao Mai was sleeping peacefully and sweetly. He even dreamed of his own warm home, his own comfortable and intimate mattress and soft pillow.

When I opened my eyes, the campfire was almost extinguished, leaving only red dots. With the light of the morning wind, it was like breathing rhythmically. Not far away came the joyful cry of grain reserve. It was dragging some prey with dog meat. Zhao Mai sat up to have a look, and a smile appeared on his face. It was a tortoise the size of a washbasin. Its legs were bitten by dog meat, so it couldn't run at all. It had to shrink its head and let dog meat drag it to the camp.

Zhao Mai took out his dagger and ran to it. He stabbed it through the crack of the tortoise's shell and ended the tortoise's life. On the earth, many tortoises are protected animals, and they are gentle, do not hurt people, do not spoil things, very popular. Only in this strange world, in order to survive, Zhao Mai would kill this animal.

The law of the jungle is not the whole world, but it does exist. The headless body of the dwarf is still on one side. He's all naked. There's nothing left. Only survival is the first thing. Protecting yourself is never a joke. Therefore, Zhao Mai has no psychological burden for setting up a trap to ambush the dwarf, and he has no psychological burden for the dwarf's body to become the food of insects.

It's impossible for Zhao Mai, who only has a short sword and an axe, to open the tortoise's hard shell. At least he needs a hammer and a saw. But it's not that you can't cook with a hard shell. At most, there will be some waste. Find enough firewood, use the shield as a shovel, dig a shallow pit larger than the tortoise, and then you can make a fire and throw the tortoise into it.

This is equivalent to the combination of Teppanyaki and Jiaohua chicken, which is the simplest cooking method. Zhao Mai took advantage of this time to put on his armor and prepare his things according to different categories, striving to put every tool in a convenient place. Among the spoils, what Zhao Mai likes most is a ring of rope. It is light but tough. It is more than 20 meters long. Now it is hanging on his waist.

This dwarf is not an experienced adventurer, as can be seen from what he has prepared. If they have enough money and load-bearing capacity, Zhao Mai and his friends would like to put everything in their backpacks, so as not to encounter any unsolvable problems. Dwarfs are not like this. They bring some ”things” piecemeal, which can only be used to sell money, but they lack ”tools”.

After finishing his equipment, Zhao Mai used his hand axe to cut a thick and long branch into a short spear. When necessary, he could also use it as a javelin to attack the enemy by throwing. After all this, the tortoise is almost baked. The original hard shell has been burnt black, and it will break into pieces with a strong knock. Zhao Mai used a branch to pull the big black thing out of the fire, then wiped the axe and cut out the opening.

Tortoise meat is hard, but it is very fragrant. The surrounding dining environment adds a wild flavor to the dish. Zhao Mai pan sat on the ground, first sprinkled some salt, and then just as he did with roast duck, he kept slicing down the meat with an axe and putting a piece in his mouth, and then there was grain reserve and dog meat. Two dogs and one person in addition to bajizui, who did not make a sound, Meimei ate a meal.

After eating enough dog meat, Zhao Mai was finally allowed to touch his head, but he couldn't do it more than three times. He would still hide. Only Carl, its owner, can rub the dog's head freely. Among the four irons in my life, I've been through the window together, because I've been trained by the Ranger Carl. It's a bit reluctant to carry a gun together, but dog meat should also be ready to attack the dwarf. I just didn't expect that Zhao Mai's action was so fast that he didn't wait for him to come out to fight. It's absolutely OK to share the stolen goods together, and the bright jewel pendant is still under his body. Together Er Zhao Mai thought about it. Let's forget this one.

Recently, we always regard these animals as intelligent beings like ourselves. This trend is understandable, but it still seems strange. Zhao Mai pondered that he should enter the civilized world as soon as possible and deal with more people. Although grain reserves are loyal and lovely, they can't change their aesthetic views, can they?
