LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 12
But they had no choice. Time was the most precious thing to them. Even the time for resting needed to be used more reasonably.
Fortunately, they could still hold on.
After an unknown amount of time, when the two arrived at the sea buckthorn tree standing in the distance, the short woman almost fell down.
Fortunately, she still held on to the ground before her face hit the ground.
"Ji Lunini, are you okay?" Kalidora hurried to help her.
"Fortunately, I'm just a little too tired," said the short woman called Ji Lunini, turned around, and sat down against the sea buckthorn tree, "Well, this is much better..."
"Huh, it's good to be okay," Kalidora breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and sat beside her.
"Ha, what a shame, I was exhausted before you," Jilunini muttered, "I'm a warrior, is this the disadvantage of having short legs..."
"What are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would still be alive now," Callidora rubbed her head and said softly, "Now it's my turn to take care of you."
After that, she raised the magic wand in her hand and tapped the tree behind her.
Soon, like feathers falling, bunches of wild grapes fell one after another.
This is sea buckthorn, which can be regarded as the only food that can be found in this desert.
It is rich in multiple vitamins, a certain amount of sugar, and often a bunch of fruits grow on a tree.
It's just the taste...
"Ugh, ugh..." Jilunini spit the sea buckthorn that had just been put into her mouth back into her hand, stuck out her tongue, and murmured, "It's so sour, sour and astringent..."
After that, she put the sea buckthorn that she spit into her hand back into her mouth.
This is the Bone Burial Desert. Even if the food is unpalatable, it is a precious survival resource and cannot be wasted.
Seeing her like this, Kalidora felt a little distressed.
She took out the water bag from under her robe and looked at it. Well, thinking about it carefully, it seems that she has seen it countless times, and the water in it has been drunk dry long ago.
"Jilunini, give me your water bag too," Kalidora stretched out her hand.
"Oh," Jilunini took out an equally shriveled water bag from under her robe and handed it over.
Kalidora opened both water bags, then picked up the magic wand and recited the spell softly.
Gradually, as the spell was chanted, a small ball of water appeared in the air, and then it became bigger and bigger, and finally turned into a transparent water ball the size of a basketball.
This is the magic of condensing water elements, and it is also the only source of drinking water for the two.
However, this desert is too dry, and the water vapor is extremely scarce. Often, only by the side of the trees can Kalidora condense such a ball of clear water.
She waved her wand and carefully poured all the water into the two people's water bags.
"Here, drink and eat at the same time," Kalidora handed a water bag to Jilunini, "Let's rest for a while, and we should be able to fill it with water again later."
"Really? That's great," Jilunini finally smiled.
In a place like this, being able to drink a whole bag of water freely is an extremely happy thing.
Kalidora sighed softly, picked up her water bag and took a sip.
Then, she also took a small bunch of sea buckthorn berries and put them in her mouth, resisting the sourness and began to chew slowly.
While chewing, she felt out a small disc.
It was an old disc that looked like the lid of something.
Kalidora gently stroked the disc and then injected some magic into it.
The disc lit up.
But it only lit up for a moment, and then it flickered and dimmed again.
"Still not working?" Kalidora thought disappointedly, leaning on the seabuckthorn tree trunk, "Vent, are you safe now..."
"You don't know magic, don't die of thirst in this desert..."

"Bear meat mushroom soup, bear meat roasted potatoes, wild vegetables stir-fried bear meat shreds, wild pepper roasted bear meat and wild vegetables stir-fried, a total of four dishes and one soup, please enjoy," Liu Ji opened his hands, showing the fruits of his labor on the table, and introduced to the three people with a smile.
Of course, they didn't understand at all.
But this is not the key, the purpose is a sense of ritual.
"This, this kid, it's obviously a potato, the cooking skills are pretty good," Mo Wente looked at the dishes on the table in surprise, "This appearance is almost as good as the dishes made by Kali."
"Can't you remove the sentence 'it's obviously a potato'?" Yayin looked at him with a subtle expression, and then casually slapped back the hand that Osa secretly stretched out.
Ao Sa scratched his head in frustration, looked at the chopsticks in Ya Yin's hand, sighed, picked up the chopsticks in front of him, and began to try to learn how to use them.
No way, if he didn't learn, he wouldn't eat.
They had been living on sour fruits in the desert for so many days, and finally they could see such a sumptuous table of food, he was unwilling to just watch.
And as Ya Yin said, as an elite boxer who is proficient in boxing, palm, finger and grappling, his finger flexibility is much higher than that of ordinary people, and learning to use chopsticks is not a difficult task for him.
The same is true for the swordsman Mo Wente.
Soon, the two brothers mastered this new tableware, and then they feasted to their heart's content.
Food culture is very complicated. Every place in the world has its own food culture, and its causes are often affected by many factors. Therefore, the food culture of different regions is more or less different.
The greater the regional differences, the greater the differences.
As for changing to another world directly...
Anyway, Mo Wente and Ao Sa have never eaten dishes made with this cooking method before.
Of course, due to the limitations of conditions and materials, any takeaway restaurant in Liu Ji's previous life may be better than this.
But for those who have just survived the hard days for two days, this is simply the best delicacy.
The same is true for Liu Ji.
He didn't know how many years he hadn't eaten. When he was preparing the dishes, he often couldn't help but steal a few bites. Now that he could eat without restraint, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
Moreover, he was the most experienced in the experience and skills of using chopsticks at this table. If he couldn't beat others in grabbing meat at this meal, it would be a bit too embarrassing.
In just 20 minutes, the four of them finished the four dishes and one soup in a swift and smooth manner, leaving no soup base.
"Ha... It's great," Ao Sa let out a long sigh, slumped in his chair, and rubbed his slightly swollen belly with satisfaction, "This brother's cooking skills are really good, it seems that we don't have to worry about eating Ya Yin's dark cuisine in the future."
"I'm really sorry that I can only make dark cuisine," Ya Yin's mouth twitched, "But some two people, they can only boil and roast, I don't know where they get the confidence to criticize others?"
"Hey, hey, I'm not talking about you, don't bring me along," Mo Wente protested, knocking on the table.
Looking at the three people quarreling, Liu Ji's eyes were full of envy.
They were all sitting at the same table to eat, but he was the only one who couldn't understand what others were saying, and he felt like he should be at the bottom of the table.
It was very uncomfortable.
"Sure enough, I still have to learn the language first..." Liu Ji looked at Ya Yin, wanting to express his desire to study hard, but after thinking about it, he didn't know how to express it.
But soon, Liu Ji found that his entanglement was unnecessary.
He didn't need to say it at all, Ya Yin had already arranged his courses very full.
When Liu Ji saw the densely packed spells that needed to be memorized, he felt as if he had returned to his previous life, back to the hard time when he was preparing for the CET-4 and CET-6.
17. It's a stone, but not completely
The spell is a very magical thing.
As long as you know the pronunciation and keep reading it, you can quickly understand its meaning.
This kind of understanding is from the inside out, from the heart, so after understanding, you can naturally remember the corresponding spell.
Liu Ji used to be most afraid of memorizing things, whether it was English words or geographical maps, they were his nightmares in his student days.
So, when he looked at the thick pages of "homework for the day", he was actually desperate.
But, he didn't feel tired at all when he really started to learn word by word.
All he had to do was sit on the crisp grass with Yain, enjoying the breeze, basking in the sun, and then reciting the difficult syllables word by word.
The only flaw...
Well, that was probably because his right hand was still tied to a wooden pole, with his index finger pointing to the sky.
Not far away, Mowente was busy with some carpentry work.
Although they built the house yesterday, they only built the house. Yesterday, the three of them found some cypress leaves to spread on the floor, and then slept.
Yesterday, Yain's little servants had already processed the entire bear skin, and now they were stretching it out and putting it on the drying rack to dry. After it was completely dried, the warm fur could be used as a mattress.
Therefore, Mowente planned to make some simple wooden beds first, and then spread the bear skin on them, so that he didn't have to sleep on the floor.
And Osa went out to the woods to find food.
Although they have a large frozen bear meat, eating only meat is too monotonous, so they need to collect some roots, mushrooms, wild vegetables and the like.
If they are lucky, they can also pick some ripe wild fruits.
The ingredients Liu Ji used to make breakfast before were what Ao Sa found yesterday.
Everyone was doing their own things. When the sun was blazing, Liu Ji realized that a whole morning had passed without him noticing.
"Lunch..." Liu Ji murmured subconsciously.
"Hungry?" Ya Yin asked.
"A little... um?" Liu Ji was stunned, and he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Were they just talking?
Could it be that he just... Oh, yes, he just seemed to be saying something in a spell.
After reciting the spell for a whole morning, he blurted it out out of habit.
Seeing Liu Ji staring at her stupidly, Ya Yin smiled and said, "Cooking, now?"
Hearing Ya Yin's question, Liu Ji's eyes widened.
He understood, he really understood!
Although it was just basic communication of single word splicing, he really understood it!
Finally, he was talking to someone again!
"Huh? What's wrong?" Ya Yin looked at Liu Ji strangely and pointed at the corner of her eyes.
"Huh? I..." Liu Ji was stunned and reached out to touch the corner of his eyes.
Damn, why was he so excited that he shed tears.
Liu Ji rubbed his eyes and said in a panic: "I, cooking, cooking."
After saying that, he wanted to get up, but he obviously forgot that his right hand was still tied to the stick. His center of gravity leaned back, and he turned 180 degrees around the stick, and fell to the ground very smoothly.
"Puff," Ya Yin couldn't help laughing at that time.
Liu Ji's old face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly untied the rope tied to his hands, got up from the ground, and ran to the stove like escaping.
Ya Yin watched Liu Ji leave, smiled and shook her head, then took out a pen, turned to the back of the notebook, and continued to write something.
She was right. Liu Ji was really suitable for learning spells. He understood spells very quickly.
Originally, she didn't expect Liu Ji to complete the number of words she prepared today, but it seems that her preparation may be a bit conservative.
Not far away, Mo Wente was leaning on the wooden bed he had just made, watching the interaction between Liu Ji and Ya Yin with interest.
"It's so rare, Yayin actually smiled," he thought to himself, "Since that incident, she seems to have not smiled for a long time, no matter how much Ao Sa played tricks on her, she never smiled..."
He looked at Liu Ji and carefully looked at this strange potato man with green hair.
"Ha, I really don't know what's so special about this guy... Although it's like saying so," he whispered to himself, "but think about it carefully, this guy is so special."
"Maybe, I can actually let down my guard against him?" Mo Wente thought to himself, "After all, he helped us before..."
But soon, he shook his head and rejected this idea.
As he said, Liu Ji is too special, and there are too many mysteries about him.
If you don't understand, it's hard to trust from the bottom of your heart.
