Diablo Destruction

In the evening, at Phoenix's suggestion, we started preparing to camp before the sun went down, because at night, the sudden rise of fire would attract the attention of monsters and beasts.

"Originally, if I were alone, I could just build a bed on a tree. Although it's a bit crude, it's simple and quick, but I imagine you pampered guys might not be able to stand it."

Phoenix said slowly while taking out a giant tent from his inventory, his eyes faithfully looking at the delicate-looking Princess Sanwu.

I think I finally know why this guy was dumped 55 times in a row. In addition to being a love idiot, it also has a lot to do with his character of saying whatever comes to mind - Will you die if you mess with Princess Sanwu once less? But maybe this is a wise choice. Anyway, he has already provoked him once before, and he is destined to die. It is better to provoke him a few more times before he dies, so as to make enough money.

Seeing Princess Sanwu's beautiful eyes blending into the dim forest, I glanced at Phoenix with pity again.

What Phoenix took out was a huge tent. It’s hard to say how big it was. I only knew that it would be enough to light a bonfire inside and pitch three or four more tents. For ordinary people to pitch such a large tent well, It's impossible without half a day, but it's easy for adventurers like us, especially veterans like Phoenix. After finding a piece of fresh, dry flat land near the river, we cleaned it up a little, and then set up on it. The whole process of setting up the tent took less than half an hour.

The top of the big tent is open like a chimney, which allows the smoke from the campfire to escape, and can be closed when it rains, which is more convenient. It's just too big to carry around.

After setting up a bonfire in the camp, just when I was about to eat some dried meat to satisfy my stomach, Phoenix's sneering laughter came from the side.

"Brother Wu Fan, you seem to have forgotten where you are. This is a forest, a huge virgin forest, containing a treasure trove of millions of kinds of food. It's ridiculous that you still eat dried meat."

Looking back, Phoenix has entered the forest expert mode, and he is giving me a lecture with a very impressive look, asking me to put down the dried meat in my hand.

By the way, I found that this guy is very particular about some small aspects. Isn't it just a dinner? He comes out to practice and not out to hunt. Why bother with these things? Perhaps this is the difference between the concepts of adventurers and wanderers.

"Okay, then tell me what to do?"

Phoenix actually suggested it, so naturally I wouldn’t object to getting something delicious. I can’t treat myself badly at any time, right?

"Leave it to me, an expert, to ensure that you have a dinner you will never forget. As for you, brother, if you are interested, you might as well look for it. As long as it is edible, I can make it delicious." Phoenix said this proudly.

"Okay. A survival game in the wild? It's a good idea. Let's go look for it separately."

I took out the crystal sword, tied a thin string to one end, and prepared to go to the river to take a look.

"I don't know if it's my imagination, but I noticed that you seem to have a special liking for fishing." Phoenix looked at my actions speechlessly.

"It's just your illusion."

You can't say that I can't go into the forest. Once I enter the forest, I will definitely get lost...

"But man, I don't think you can catch any fish you can eat."

Before we split up, Phoenix patted me on the shoulder. He said meaningfully, hum, just ignore it. If you haven't tried it, how can you not know? I continued to implement the idea that practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and strode towards the river before the sun went down.

However, after ten minutes, I finally understood what Phoenix's meaningful look meant.

Question 1: Are there fish in the river? Of course there is.

Question 2: Are there many fish in the river? Of course there are more.

Question 3: So many fish. What’s easiest to catch?

the answer is……

Piranha.

The innocent and struggling earthworm was tied numbly to the other end of the thin string. The nth time I threw it out, the poor little earthworm had not yet hit the water. While in mid-air, a black shadow jumped up from the water and swallowed the bait with its sharp, jagged mouth. Following the black shadow were several more black shadows, or they bit the thin line, and some even simply Dragging the tail of the black shadow in front, they formed a large chain.

yes, get 12 piranhas.

I flicked it gently and pulled up the thread that had not been able to enter the water until now. A large string of piranhas was thrown high into the air and then fell to the side.

I turned around and looked at the fish mountain piled up next to me, which was taller than me. They were all small gray-brown fish that were half a foot long, with flat bodies, teeth like saws, and fins like knives. I could catch them in 10 minutes. So much, I should be happy, but why do I feel like crying.

Forget it, anyway, Phoenix said that as long as it was edible, he could make it delicious. I thought sadly, thinking that there were enough fish, so why not get some others? I wandered up and down the river for a while, no. After a while, a huge four-legged animal was discovered, lying lazily on the river bank, seemingly enjoying the afterglow of the setting sun.

Oh, this should be edible.

The next moment, huge sounds of wild beasts fighting and roaring sounded from the riverside...

An hour later, I opened the tent door unsteadily, and Phoenix had returned. He was quickly applying spices to an unknown beast that had been cleaned. It seemed that he was planning to have a roast feast.

"Oh, brother Wu Fan, are you back? How was your harvest? I was just about to say I was looking for you, uh...you, what's going on with you? Did you encounter any powerful monster?"

While handling the food, Phoenix turned around and saw that I looked like a beggar with a shabby face, my clothes were in tatters and one of my shoes was missing, and he couldn't help but asked curiously.

"No...nothing."

I raised my bloodshot eyes and staggered forward two steps as if I was exhausted. Open the tent door to reveal a mountain of piranhas outside.

"Can these things be eaten?"

"Haha..., sure... it's just as I expected, didn't I tell you?" Phoenix couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the piranhas all over the place, some of their sharp mouths opening and closing, and they were still jumping and tossing fiercely. Mouth.

"Can they eat it?"

"Yes. But I can't." Phoenix replied with a smile.

"What, you are not the only one who can make it delicious as long as it is edible?" I immediately became angry and grabbed Phoenix by the collar and shook him. Why do you call me a forest expert? Change my name immediately. Forest idiot.

"Can feces be eaten?" was all Phoenix said.

"..."

"..."

Firestorm.

After being speechless for a while, I pressed my hand to the ground. A pillar of fire erupted from the mountain of piranhas, instantly roasting the fish on the ground into charcoal.

It doesn't matter, we still have the finale. After taking a breath, I struggled to kill a giant beast from the outside. Dragged in under Phoenix's stunned eyes.

"Oh my God, this is Emperor Crocodile..."

Phoenix murmured as he looked at the giant creature lying on the ground in front of him, which was nearly half a person tall.

The giant thing I dragged in. Judging from the appearance, it is a crocodile, but this crocodile is a little weird. It is more than 20 meters long. Each black scale on its body is as big as a palm. There are two rows of ferocious claws on the back extending from the forehead to the end of the tail. The barbs, not to mention the terrifying crocodile mouth, are like a meat grinder. Even steel can be broken instantly when it is put in. When I was completely dragged in, the entire large open tent was filled with its body, and it looked like a steel demon.

"Brother, you really gave me too many surprises. This is Emperor Crocodile, the legendary Emperor Crocodile. This is the first time I have seen it." Phoenix was already excitedly kissing the giant monster called Emperor Crocodile.

"Is this delicious?"

I desperately want to know the answer. Damn it. In a moment of carelessness, I even forgot to put on good equipment. As a result, a set of good blue equipment was completely worn out by this guy's terrifying attack, and it ended up like this. Thinking of its terrifying sharp teeth and strong scales, I still feel chills. Here. The protozoa are indeed terrifying. This crocodile called Emperor Crocodile alone is probably no less powerful than a demon king. If the prey that I took so much pains to kill cannot be eaten, I will have to vomit three liters of blood.

"Yes, of course I can. Oh my god, brother Wu Fan, don't you know? In the recipe ranking of the primeval forest, the meat of this crocodile is known as one of the three delicacies of Kurast, just because It’s too rare, and you’ve seen its strength, so not many people can taste its deliciousness until now.”

Except for you, who would care about that kind of ranking? As long as you can eat it.

"The whole body of this emperor crocodile is full of treasures. Not only is the meat delicious, the blood and internal organs can cure various diseases, but also its scales. If left to an excellent blacksmith, even a dark gold-level It's not impossible to use scale armor, but it's a pity that a lot of blood is wasted." Phoenix continued to popularize some useless knowledge for me, and when he mentioned that almost all the crocodile blood was shed along the way, he couldn't help but look at me gloomily.

Oh, dark gold scale armor? This is quite tempting.

After a lot of eloquent remarks, in the end, because the Crocodile was too big and it was not easy to handle now that night had fallen, Phoenix removed part of its flesh and then used ice magic to completely freeze it. The total weight of the crocodile is about ten tons, and it is estimated that it will not be handled for several days.

"By the way, Phoenix, what good things did you get back?" I then remembered that besides the unknown beast he just dealt with, there must be others, otherwise he would be worthy of the title of forest expert.

Phoenix, who had already put aside the half-finished roast feast and started processing the crocodile meat instead, heard what I said. He immediately became excited and even didn't bother to handle the crocodile. He lifted some round things from the corner. , looking inside, it turned out to be some mushrooms?

"It's time for me, Phoenix, to popularize forest knowledge to you again." Phoenix pretended to cough a few times and continued.

"As you can see, what you see in front of you are some mushrooms. Except for those idiots who grew up in the desert, I think everyone knows that brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten. You should know this."

I nodded and silently mourned the fact that he had offended Princess Sanwu for the third time. Unfortunately, she was the idiot born in the desert as you call her.

"But it's not just the mushrooms that look edible that must be fine, for us adventurers. Those brightly colored poisonous mushrooms are not very dangerous. On the contrary, there is a kind of mushroom that is indistinguishable from edible mushrooms in appearance, but But it can cause harm to adventurers. In order to give you a clear understanding, I brought back a few."

As he said that, Phoenix carefully picked out a few ordinary-looking mushrooms from the pile of mushrooms, which looked just like other mushrooms.

"That's what I'm talking about. Psychedelic mushrooms look the same as edible mushrooms, but they are extremely poisonous. Ordinary people will be poisoned to death if they eat a little bit, even adventurers. After eating..." Phoenix sold it After a while, he showed a serious expression.

"What...what will happen?" I was exaggerated by the serious atmosphere and swallowed hard.

"It will cause general paralysis and hallucinations."

The almost frozen atmosphere relaxed as the answer was announced.

"I accidentally ate a large amount of these mushrooms. So I couldn't move for a whole day. Fortunately, there were no monsters at the time, otherwise my life would have been over." Phoenix wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and took out the psychedelic mushrooms in his hand. Throwing it, it happened to land on a slender little hand behind him.

"And this..., this..." Phoenix was showing off his knowledge on the side, and found that Princess Sanwu, who had been silently reading beside him, also joined him, and couldn't help but feel a little intoxicated. oh! ! That's right, this is the charm of knowledge.

"Dong——"

A pink shadow fell between Phoenix's legs at the speed of light and made a silent thud. Fortunately, there seemed to be no sound similar to the cracking of an egg.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh -"

Covering his lower body, Phoenix's mouth and eyes formed a big "O", as if he still didn't understand who had attacked him. Can't blame him. Princess Sanwu's pace was too fast, and her face was expressionless from beginning to end. There was no expression of pride or panic like the criminals.

Then, Princess Sanwu stuffed the mushroom in her hand into Phoenix's mouth, then turned around and kicked him on the back. The whole set of movements was smooth and perfect, and it was a perfect three-part attack. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be difficult to imagine such a move. The petite mage wearing robes can actually make such agile movements, he looks like a kung fu girl.

With a grunt, the stunned Phoenix swallowed the mushroom. He covered his lower body and mechanically raised his head to look at Princess Sanwu, with two lines of clear tears flowing from his eyes.

"I...how...have I offended you?"

It seems that you are quite aware. I looked at Phoenix with pity and pointed three fingers at him, no more and no less. Today alone, you have offended her three times.

Smiling "That's it", Phoenix finally closed his eyes and fell down. He was quiet for a while, and suddenly...

"Oh ha..., Oona, don't be like this, I will do it there (moaning), I... I..." Holding a piece of wood, he rolled over and kissed it desperately, and this lasted for five minutes...

"Mom!! Mom!! Don't hit me, I just want to find out why Xiaoli next door looks different from me." She cried bitterly and kept moving her buttocks on the bonfire.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff -" Lying face to face, the cry of an unknown bird came from his mouth, his hands were like wings, flapping constantly, and his feet were together like tail wings.

In the end, just like the piranhas I caught ashore, they lay on the ground and began tossing around, and the amplitude became weaker and weaker. Finally, their bodies shook a few times, and then there was no movement...

"Is he dead?" I picked up a branch and stabbed Phoenix several times, but nothing happened.

Tick ​​tock, an hour later...

Phoenix, who was motionless, was resurrected with full blood. He suddenly sat up from the ground and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, with a confused look on his face.

"I seem to be having a nightmare."

"Yes, just think of it as a nightmare." I patted his shoulder and said, something was wrong. It's better not to know.

Afterwards, Phoenix skewered the processed crocodile meat piece by piece and inserted it next to the campfire. After a while, a strange fragrance filled the entire tent. The fat but not greasy fat was roasted until the butter flowed out, and was evenly spread on it. The spices are mixed together, exuding a meaty aroma that makes your appetite expand to the extreme.

Is this one of the top three delicacies of Kurast? This hard battle was not fought unfairly. I tried my best to resist reaching out to the uncooked meat skewers, and my saliva was drooling. Fortunately, Phoenix automatically planned me as a barbarian's meal, and Dead Dog and Xiaoxue also prepared some. But even this only consumed half of the forelimb of the Crocodylus, which shows its huge size. It is estimated to be enough for four of us, five wolves and one dog to eat for nearly a week.

"It is said that there is crocodile meat that tastes better than the Emperor Crocodile..." While drooling like me, Phoenix did not forget to show off his little knowledge.

"Oh. What is it?"

Just hearing the awesome name of Crocodylus crocodile, I feel that its taste is second to none among crocodiles. I am curious about what other species can compare with it (should be said to be comparable in strength, it seems that the stronger the The crocodile tastes better).

"Dragon Crocodile——" Phoenix slowly spit out two words.

"..."

If you have a dragon character stuck on it, you'd better not die if you don't have level 60. No wonder Phoenix added the word "legend" in front of it.

What I didn't notice was that after Phoenix finished speaking, the eyes of the dead dog who was drooling while looking at the barbecue flashed with light. Showing a very humane and thoughtful expression.

At this moment, the necklace on his chest suddenly flashed with a brilliant light, and as the light dimmed, a beautiful and moving voice sounded like a melody.

"Wow!! What a smell, it smells so good."

"Ghost, ghost, ghost... ghost!"

Pointing to the little ghost that suddenly appeared with a pale face, Phoenix just sat on the ground, moving his feet and backing up.

"Hmm~~, is this the poor mage you are talking about?"

Phoenix looked like he had seen a ghost (which he actually was). The little ghost has her hands behind her back and a holy smile on her face. But don't be fooled by her current appearance. Please look carefully. Yes, look at her smooth forehead. Is there a vein trembling?

Why are all the little guys in our family so tough?

As she said this, her feet floated slightly on the ground. He flew towards Phoenix who was retreating to the corner. There was an extremely holy smile on her face, matching the holy radiance on her body. Like an angel, it is intoxicating.

"My name is Alice, and it's not that weird. Then..."

"Then..." Phoenix was completely stunned by the little ghost's current appearance, and he assumed a pious posture.

"Go to hell."

"Okay...huh?"

The signature saintly smile on her face remained unchanged, but the devil's declaration came out of those cherry lips. Phoenix thought he was hearing hallucinations, but the next moment, he knew it was not the case.

With a "boom" sound, a wall of light perfectly bounced him out of the tent door. The little ghost now is different from what he used to be. Not only has he reached level 13, he has learned level 2 skills, and he can even use level 1 exorcism. She is more proficient than her signature healing technique, and she uses her small first-level skills in various ways. Even Phoenix, a level 35 wizard, suffered a small loss if he didn't notice.

By the way, the proficiency is all gained from me...

"Xiaoxue, guard the door for me. If that guy dares to come in, you're welcome." The little ghost instructed Xiaoxue. Apart from me, she has been in contact with the summoned objects for the longest time, so she naturally became their favorite. First hostess.

Actually, I want to ask the little ghost, what does "you're welcome" mean? Eat it, that’s absolutely right.

"Brother Wu Fan, come and help me." Phoenix's screams rang out from outside. He knew Xiaoxue's strength very well, and even if he had a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to try to break in.

I sighed, stepped outside, and looked at Phoenix who looked pitiful.

"I can ask Xiaoxue to let you in now, but you have to know that if you don't obey the punishment this time and let the other party calm down, maybe the retaliation you will receive next time will be even more terrifying."

"That...that ghost named Alice, what's her character like?" Phoenix flinched after hearing what I said.

"Honestly, it's scarier than Morissa."

I thought about it for a while and gave my answer. Although Molisha's revengeful heart is strong and her methods are dark, at least she still has the sense of being a kind girl. But the little ghost is different. Other than me, She doesn't care about anyone. This difference in mentality makes me feel that the little ghost is much more aggressive to strangers than Moissa.

"Woo~~, you bastard, why are the women around him scarier than the other?" Phoenix suddenly began to sob, resigned to his fate, and began to look for a nearby tree for a bed, and went to enjoy the miserable cold wind alone.

This is also your fault. Who told you to speak so freely? Why are you calling such a cute little ghost a ghost?
