Start a mysterious island

Chapter 505: A life of poverty (two chapters in one)

The bright sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, reflecting on the black bats hanging upside down on the branches.

The small spot of light is always shining, and your body will inevitably feel a little hot.

But at this time, the black bat couldn't feel the heat. Instead, he felt cold in his heart, his whole body was cold, and he was shivering.

The black bat, with a light golden aura in its eyes, looked at the massacre taking place on the grass in the distance and felt very scared.

At this time, it felt that its current location was a bit too close, and its own safety could not be guaranteed.

"Roar……"

"Pfft."

As soon as a gray rabbit roared, a sharp cyan wind blade followed and landed on it, killing it with one blow.

With full firepower, Lin Li fired a series of wind blades in his hand, and the fleeing gray rabbit felt despair in his heart.

Facing this extremely terrifying evil human being, they really have no choice but to escape.

The sudden attack launched by Lin Li did not last long. From start to finish, the whole process took less than three minutes.

A large group of unknown gray rabbits, after Lin Li's attack, more than half of them were killed on the spot.

"Hey...it's a pity that so many of them have escaped." Lin Li looked at the direction in which many rabbits had escaped without a trace and said with regret.

This situation can be expected before launching a surprise attack. After all, the gray rabbits scatter in all directions irregularly when escaping.

In this situation, if you want to retain them, you can only do what you can, and keep as many as you can.

Lin Li withdrew his gaze from the grass in the distance and looked at the many gray rabbits dead on the grass. He had a happy smile on his face and said to himself.

“Although these strange beasts only have first-level cultivation and the maturity progress of the magical little fruits they can provide is limited, the quantity is enough to make up for the shortcomings.

With so many first-level beasts, they should be able to increase by at least five percentage points! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Li began to collect the dead prey into the mysterious island.

After a lot of effort, all the dead gray rabbits on the grass disappeared.

When collecting these dead gray rabbits into the mysterious island, Lin Li also discovered a few gray rabbits that were only half a meter tall.

During Lin Li's previous investigation, no signs of psychic fluctuations were found on these half-meter-tall gray rabbits.

At that time, he speculated that these gray rabbits, which were half as short as they were, were still in their infancy and would need to wait until they reached adulthood to become exotic beasts.

Although gray rabbit cubs are not exotic animals, they are still valuable. For example, at noon today, Lin Li can roast rabbits.

After Lin Li collected all the prey he killed, he did not enter the mysterious island to check the current ripening progress of the magical fruit.

Because if he enters the mysterious island now, it will take the next day to enter the spiritual world through the stone door on the mysterious island.

Now he can only wait until the sun sets this evening, then go back and check again.

“This time I sneak attack on those gray rabbits, it’s a great harvest.

If I encounter hunting targets like gray rabbits a few more times, in half a day, I can set a new high and break my previous hunting record. Lin Li thought to himself about the hunting experience just now.

Then, he looked at his surroundings, thought for a few seconds, and decided to return to the trail trodden by wild animals and continue exploring along that trail.

I hadn't seen any prey for nearly an hour before, so I was very disappointed.

But after this great harvest of gray rabbit hunting, Lin Li's mind completely changed, and he felt that the trail trampled by wild animals was very useful.

Just as Lin Li was returning to the trail trodden by wild animals, the black bat hanging upside down in the tree became a little panicked when he saw Lin Li walking in the direction where he was.

So he quickly flew out of the tree and flew away from the forest.

In fact, there is no need for the black bat to do this. Lin Li's mental perception is only a hundred meters away. It is more than 500 meters away from Lin Li and will not be detected.

Unfortunately, the black bat was frightened by Lin Li's slaughter just now. Without thinking, he made the decision to stay away from Lin Li quickly and follow him at a relatively long distance.

"What the hell?" Lin Li was about to return to the trail trampled by wild animals when he noticed a flying black spot in the sky in the distance.

He squinted his eyes to observe, but because the distance was too far to see clearly, he didn't take it to heart, and then continued to act according to the plan.

Dongwucheng.

In the beautiful and elegant villa, there is a graceful figure drying the quilt in the courtyard.

After the girl placed the quilt, she turned around and saw that her appearance was ordinary. She was the kind of person who would not leave any memory when seen in a crowd.

After Qin Muqing dried the quilt, she returned to the villa. She walked into the kitchen and opened the rice vat at home.

"Oops! The rice at home is enough to last ten days and a half, but now we are short of vegetables and meat."

After closing the lid of the rice vat, Qin Muqing looked at the big bamboo basket in the corner of the kitchen.

The vegetables I bought earlier are almost eaten, which is enough for lunch today. As for the meat, I can still eat two more meals.

After lending the living expenses left by Lin Li to Sister Zhang who sells box lunches, Qin Muqing only has a few dozen copper coins left on hand.

If you go to a vegetable store and use the remaining money to buy vegetables and meat, you will not be able to eat enough for a few meals. Once the vegetables and meat are gone, you will have to live on rice porridge.

"It's so hard to live without money..." Qin Muqing, who had grown up well-fed and well-fed, took out the few remaining cash from her pocket and murmured to herself.

Ever since she lent the living expenses left by Lin Li to Sister Zhang, who sold lunch boxes, her quality of life, which had just improved, began to plummet.

Although the quality of life has declined and hard times are coming, Qin Muqing does not regret her previous decision to lend her living expenses to Sister Zhang, who sells box lunches.

"Hey..." Her red lips opened slightly, and another sigh came from Qin Muqing's mouth. She looked at the little cash left in her hand, and after thinking carefully for a few minutes, Qin Muqing made a decision.

"Click."

"boom."

Qin Muqing, carrying a vegetable basket in her hand, walked out of her home and walked to the end of the street in the distance.

As this residential area was used to build villas, the number of villas built gradually increased, and more and more businessmen came to open shops and do small businesses here.

At the intersection at the end of the street, next to the vegetable shop, a new pickle shop opened.

The business of this newly opened shop selling pickles was quite good. When Qin Muqing came to the door of the shop with a vegetable basket in her arms, she saw many young and old people dressed similarly to her shopping in the store.

The old woman and her young daughter-in-law, who were wearing ordinary linen clothes, were holding a vegetable basket in their hands, looking at the pickles on the shelves, wondering which kind or types to buy?

Because there was not much cash left on hand, and in order to avoid eating monotonous white rice porridge for a long time, Qin Muqing decided to use all the remaining money to buy pickles.

Carrying a vegetable basket, she walked into a very busy shop selling pickles. Looking at the dazzling array of pickled pickles on the shelves, Qin Muqing felt dazzled for a moment.

The pickled pickles are packed in glass bottles. You don’t need to ask the store clerk, you can directly see what kind of pickles are in the bottle through the glass.

A moment later, Qin Muqing, who had spent all the cash on her, walked out of the shop selling pickles.

In the empty basket on his hand, there were several more glass bottles filled with pickles, including pickled radish, pickled beans, pickled cucumbers, pickled garlic, and the best fermented bean curd.

Qin Muqing had no way to buy five things with the little cash she had left. Thanks to this shop selling pickles, the new store opened and the items were heavily discounted.

"With these pickles, you won't have to worry about running out of food to eat rice porridge in the next half month." Qin Muqing glanced at the things she bought in her vegetable basket, whispered to herself, and then walked briskly home. direction to return.

If some of Qin Muqing's former friends who were far away in the imperial capital of Chu State knew that Qin Muqing was now going to live on eating pickles, they would all be shocked with their mouths wide open and expressions of disbelief on their faces.

"Click."

"boom."

Qin Muqing returned home and when passing by the courtyard, she heard a chirping of birds coming from a big tree in the courtyard.

Qin Muqing stopped and stared at the birds singing happily on the branches. The roasted pigeon cooked by the chef that he had eaten at home emerged in his mind.

"If I can catch one, can I roast it and eat it?"

The bird standing on the branch, chirping happily, suddenly trembled.

Their eyes looked at Qin Muqing standing on the path paved with blue bricks, and they felt puzzled because they sensed ill intentions from this human being.

These birds have been living in the big tree in the courtyard of the villa for some time, and I think the hostess of the house is quite kind.

Now they suddenly felt bad intentions from the other party, and they began to think about moving.

"What am I thinking? They don't have much meat on their bodies. It takes a lot of effort to catch them and roast them. It's not worth the loss. And I can't climb trees, so I can't catch them at all."

Qin Muqing, who was whimsical, noticed that the chirping birds standing on the branches stopped chirping and all looked at her.

She immediately interrupted her thoughts, shook her head, and went into the house carrying the vegetable basket.

In the kitchen, Qin Muqing put the jars of pickles she bought into the cupboard.

Back in the living room, she sat on the sofa and stared at the roof in a daze.

"Mr. Lin hasn't been back for several days. Where has he been?"

…………

In the dangerous mountainous area, the sun rises into the sky, and the hot sunlight splashes on the earth. The temperature rises and makes people sweat.

Lin Li pulled out his spiritual sword from the body of the prey in front of him, wiped the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, and looked at the one hanging in the air, which was bigger than the sun on the Blue Star. Blazing Sun grunted.

"The sun is too hot! Compared with yesterday, the temperature today has increased several degrees."

Although today's temperature is hotter than usual, Lin Li has been busy all morning, has gained a lot, and is in a very good mood.

It was now time to have lunch. Lin Li collected the prey he killed into the mysterious island, and then quickly ran to the woods in the distance.

In a hot weather like this, it would be best to choose a camping spot at noon by a stream or river, as it will be much cooler.

Unfortunately, Lin Li walked along the trail trampled by wild animals. When he arrived at the current location, there were no streams or rivers around, so he had to find a nearby place with shade to camp at noon.

With an idea in mind, I took out the camping equipment from the mysterious island.

Lin Li finished setting up the stove, then went around to pick up some dry branches. A small fireball appeared in his hand, and the branches in the stove immediately ignited.

After pouring water into the pot and closing the lid, Lin Li immediately took out an ordinary gray rabbit cub from the mysterious island.

The magical tree will only absorb the flesh and blood essence of the alien beasts. After a few hours, these ordinary gray rabbit cubs are still the same as when they were first admitted to the mysterious island, without missing anything.

Lin Li quickly processed the half-meter-high rabbit cub. When the pot on the stove whined, the water boiled. At this time, Lin Li's rabbit meat was also processed.

Lin Li washed the rabbit meat with boiling water, and after washing away the blood, he placed the processed rabbit meat on the stove for roasting.

When turning the rabbit meat over, Lin Li brushed some oil on it.

After a while, a tantalizing aroma emanated from the roasted rabbit.

A small knife appeared in Lin Li's hand, pointed at the roasted part of the rabbit's leg, and cut off a small piece of rabbit meat. Lin Li picked up the seasoning bottle next to him, sprinkled some cumin, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"This rabbit meat tastes really good..."

Lin Li was very satisfied with the rabbit meat he roasted and muttered happily to himself. Then he roasted the rabbit meat and sprinkled cumin powder on it.

The fragrant smell spread around, and at this time another gust of wind blew.

With the help of the wind, the tempting aroma of Linli's roasted rabbit floats far away.

There are many strange beasts living in this dangerous mountainous area.

Now that the weather is so hot, some prey are hiding, making it difficult for the exotic animals that go out to hunt to find their prey.

The hungry beasts suddenly smelled the alluring fragrance wafting in the air, and they all looked towards the place where the fragrance was coming from.

The alien beasts twitched their noses, and then quickly ran towards the location where the tempting fragrance was coming from.

Lin Li was roasting rabbit meat, but he didn't know that the rabbit meat he was roasting had attracted prey to his door. He was cutting the roasted rabbit meat with a knife and eating it happily.
