Returning to hometown to farm: The apocalypse system arrived ten years earlier?

Chapter 293 Rock Castle Fireworks, Night Attack

The humus layer made a sticky sound under the spirit armor boots, and the vine armor on Yaki Toto's neck exuded a light green fluorescence.

He swung his knife to chop open the hanging aerial roots of the strangler fig. The moment the blade cut, more than a dozen fluorescent poison dart frogs shot out from the tree hole.

"Lower your heads!" Lei Xiaohui swung the flaming whip in the air. The whip shadows in the sky blew away all the poisonous frogs, and the high temperature burned them into charcoal that fell to the ground.

Zhang Youyou showed admiration. Although Lei Xiaohui also had fire-related abilities, she could use the whip technique in such a delicate and precise manner. She couldn't do that. She could only control a sea of fire and go straight forward.

Little did she know that Lei Xiaohui also secretly admired Zhang Youyou, because when Lei Xiaohui was at the first level, the power of her fire was far less powerful than Zhang Youyou's now.

Little did they know that Zhang Youyou had taken the shortcut of dual cultivation.

The dual cultivation method that Li Xiang gave was called "Starry Sky Concerto·Luan Ming Jiushao". It was carefully selected by the system and was very unique. It was not available in the outside world. Even in the previous life, no one had ever practiced it.

He wondered if he would try it himself someday.

In his reverie, Li Xiang suddenly pressed Lei Jiaming's sniper rifle: "At three o'clock, the fungal blanket is shrinking."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark green mycelium retreated like the tide, revealing the rock layers that had been corroded into a honeycomb shape.

Luo Feifei's electric phantom armor burst out twelve crystal spikes that pierced the ground. The icy air spread along the cracks in the earth veins, freezing the main body of the mycelium that tried to escape into an ice sculpture.

"It's getting dark, let's all take a break."

As night fell, the jungle became even more dangerous. After fighting for nearly a whole day and walking over a hundred kilometers, everyone was very tired. Li Xiang asked everyone to stop and rest for a night before setting off again tomorrow.

He used his earth-based abilities to clear out a piece of land, and built a temporary fortress in just a few minutes. The walls were reinforced with rock armor, and the fortress was very solid and safe.

The materials he used were all locally available. Since the surface of the land was polluted, he turned up the rock strata from deep underground to build the structure, and the materials were quite clean.

Yaki Toto looked at Paya's miracle, admiring it and unable to help but fantasize. He thought that if his tribe was still there and he was lucky enough to ask Paya for help, everyone could sleep in a safe stone house without worrying about being taken away by wild beasts.

Li Xiang's skill is indeed the best for setting up camp during a march. As long as there is soil and rocks, there is no problem finding a place to live.

Because there were too many people, both men and women, Li Xiang felt that the fortress was too small and not very habitable, so he expanded it to several more rooms. In one of the largest halls, he built a large round table and nine rock-armored stools. Stone beds were built in several bedrooms.

"Brother, don't forget to build a few bathrooms." Yao Yao came over and whispered.

"Oh." Li Xiang thought to himself that he was too careless. How could he forget such an important thing? In fact, extraordinary people also need to go to the toilet, because eating and drinking will lead to defecation and urination. Unless you enter the holy level, and there are many magical particles between heaven and earth, you can achieve the legendary "bigu".

He also built two toilets on both sides of the fort, one for men and one for women.

"Get another big bathtub." Yao Yao said.

Li Xiang: "A bathtub is easy, but there is not enough water." The river water outside has turned black and turbid, it is the "Black Water River". There is water stored in his system warehouse, but it is all bottled purified water. It's not that he is reluctant to use it for bathing, but it takes a long time to pour out one bottle at a time. Or he has to take it out in boxes and cut the bottles with a dagger.

Or you can use the top speed of Mach 11 to fetch water from a clean river in the distance.

He was thinking about how to solve the water problem, Luo Feifei pointed outside and said, "It's raining. I can collect the water vapor in the air and gather it into a stream of water."

"Don't worry, Goddess Feifei is here. Come on, let's get a big bathtub."

Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing and Lei Xiaohui are all very good at "flattering". Li Xiang feels that Luo Feifei has also been controlled by them.

So Li Xiang also helped them build a big bathtub.

"Bigger. Bigger."

Finally, it was about the size of a small family swimming pool. Li Xiang thought, do you guys want to take a bath together?
If these things were done by a construction team, even if they took ten days or half a month, they would not be able to achieve the level of "fine decoration" that Li Xiang achieved. But for Li Xiang, it was just a matter of minutes.

Back in the living room, everyone sat together, took a break, ate and drank water.

But the food was too dry. Li Xiang took a look at Yaki Toto and saw that he was too thin and lacked fat, so he said, "Let's cook a pot of meat."

There was nothing to do at night and everyone was tired after a long day, so they naturally agreed with both hands.

As for safety issues, there is no need to worry. Li Xiang has the ability to sense the earth veins, Luo Feifei has the ability of insight, and a "Yunmengze" has risen up around the fortress to cover it. Once there is any abnormality, everyone will be notified.

"In ancient times, wealthy families had bells and tripods for food. I don't have a pot that big, so I'll just use a tripod."

There are many mineral essences in Li Xiang's system warehouse. He also seized a large amount of vanadium-titanium ore from the bottom of the Bracken Bat Cave in North America before. So he "showed his miracle" on the spot, using the supernatural power armed with crystal veins to condense a large titanium alloy tripod with three legs and two ears, shining with silver light.

Everyone was amazed, especially Yaki Toto, who admired Li Xiang, the Paya, to the utmost.

Li Xiang took out about 50 kilograms of beef brisket, some fat and some lean, the kind with rich fat, and cut it into large chunks with a dagger and threw them into the cauldron. He took out several boxes of purified water and submerged the beef. He also took out a lot of wood, chopped it into long strips, and stuffed it under the cauldron.

Without Li Xiang's instructions, Lei Xiaohui and Zhang Youyou rushed to make a fire. Li Xiang opened a chimney on the top of the fortress, and Xu Xuan used his wind ability to guide the smoke produced by the burning to the outside.

As for the tableware, they are all made of titanium alloy, including titanium alloy bowls, chopsticks, spoons, and the chef's big spoon...

Smoke rose from the cooking fire. After the fire boiled, Li Xiang skimmed off the foam, sprinkled a bag of snow-white fine salt in, added some spices, light soy sauce, and a few bottles of beer, and continued to stew over high heat.

Lei Xiaohui and Zhang Youyou were afraid that the heat was not enough and it would take time to cook, so they kept manipulating their fire powers to increase the heat below.

"Should we add tomatoes or potatoes?" Li Xiang's warehouse was full of vegetables. "Tomatoes, tomatoes are delicious."

"Tomatoes are sweet and sour, and more flavorful than potatoes."

Following everyone's suggestions, Li Xiang took out another twenty or thirty large tomatoes. Luo Feifei condensed the water vapor in the air and washed the tomatoes. Yao Yao and Zhao Xueqing helped by cutting the tomatoes into small pieces with a dagger and spreading them evenly in the pot.

Lei Xiaohui and Zhang Youyou took turns to add fuel to the fire. Their fire was very strong and the beef was stewed till soft in less than half an hour. The thick tomato sauce wrapped around the amber beef brisket was bubbling in the titanium alloy pot. The oil and fruit acid burst into amber bubbles under the high temperature, and the aroma was fragrant.

Although the method is simple and crude, the ingredients are delicious.

Yaki Toto swallowed his saliva several times when looking at the pot of tempting food.

Li Xiang picked up a small piece with chopsticks and tasted it. The texture of the beef brisket was soaked in the golden juice of tomatoes, and every fiber was soaked with concentrated sweetness. It was soft and glutinous like melted maple syrup in the mouth, but the elasticity of the tendon remained on the tip of the teeth.

"Let's eat!" Li Xiang personally served each person a large bowl of beef soup, and even added a few extra pieces of fat for Yaki Toto, and invited everyone to enjoy the meal.

"Thank you, Brother Xiang."

"Thank you, boss."

“Thanks Paya.”

I have to say, after a tiring day, especially in such a harsh rainforest environment, eating a pot of tomato beef brisket is simply a treat.

Yaki Toto had never eaten such delicious Chinese food before, he almost bit off his tongue.

For a while, there was constant laughter and joy.

It’s just that Yaki Toto doesn’t understand Chinese and can’t understand what is being said, but that doesn’t stop him from laughing along with everyone else in a friendly and honest manner.

The nine people finished all the beef soup, which was nearly 9 kilograms of beef brisket. Of course, the main players were Li Xiang, Lei Jiaming, Yaki Toto, and Xu Xuan. The girls ate less.

After eating, all the bowls, chopsticks and spoons were put into the cauldron. Luo Feifei condensed the water vapor in the air and gathered it into a stream of water to rinse the cooking utensils and tableware. Finally, she controlled the dirty water flow to rush to the outside through the chimney and scatter it in the rainforest.

As for the washed cooking utensils and tableware, Li Xiang didn't plan to take them back. After thinking about it, he decided to just leave them here.

After they leave, the fortress will not be demolished, and will be left for someone with a destiny to live there in the future.

In fact, later on, a group of indigenous people from a primitive tribe did occupy this place and run it as a base.

The girls went to take a bath happily. With Lei Xiaohui and Zhang Youyou there, there was no need to worry about hot water. The men stayed in the living room, chatting about everything. Li Xiang also gave them some pointers on their cultivation.

Yaki Toto has made great progress. However, since he has just broken through, his realm is not very stable yet. He does not understand many things and lacks a lot of knowledge about cultivation. Li Xiang focuses on guiding him.

The "old shaman" was wearing vine armor that he had condensed himself, so its defensive power was naturally not as good as Li Xiang's obsidian armor. Therefore, Li Xiang took out a set of fifth-level obsidian armor from the warehouse, an ordinary style, and threw it to Yaki Toto.

It is worthless and of little use to Li Xiang, but it is absolutely extremely precious to Yaki Toto.

You know, extraordinary battle armor is hard to come by, and its value is even higher than extraordinary weapons of the same level. In the past, many powerful extraordinary people of level eight or nine had a very difficult time getting a set of level five battle armor.

Now Li Xiang gives it away casually.

"Thank you, Paya." Yaki Toto knelt on one knee and saluted Li Xiang.

Li Xiang motioned him to stand up and not kneel down all the time. Then he taught him how to store extraordinary items in the spiritual energy vortex for warming, and how to take them out quickly.

Yaki Toto was very excited when he got this set of spiritual armor. After putting it on and taking it off, he felt a lot younger.

However, his real age is only thirty-six years old, but the harsh environment and the vicissitudes of life have left too many wrinkles on his face. Now that he has become a transcendent, as his cultivation progresses, he will sooner or later return to his original healthy and plump complexion.

Li Xiang sat up straight.

"What's wrong, Brother Xiang?"

Li Xiang said, "There's a big guy coming. It's still far away, about 10 to 20 kilometers."

The big guy moved close to the ground and sometimes burrowed into the mud, so Li Xiang's ability to sense the earth veins could detect it.

After a while, Luo Feifei and several girls also came out fully armed. When they were halfway through taking a bath, Luo Feifei discovered the enemy, so everyone hurriedly put on their armor and prepared for battle.

Due to the rush, the girls didn't have time to put on their underwear, so the armor was empty.

"We're not even allowed to rest." Li Xiang led everyone outside.

If it was a small creature, even a jaguar, the fortress was strong enough to hold it, but the big creature outside was a giant anaconda king that was two hundred meters long and as thick as a train.

Seven hundred meters away, the humus layer exploded, and the unprecedented king of anacondas broke out of the ground, with hundreds of human arm bones sticking out from between the rotten scales. These bony hands grabbed the branches of the strangler fig to gain leverage, and the entire rain forest tilted with it.

"Devil!" Yaki Toto roared.
