My farm does not raise idle dragons

It was another restless night. I don’t know how many times I was attacked by monsters last night.

Lu Xi woke up in the morning and stood outside the carriage. He wanted to breathe some fresh air, but instead he was filled with the smell of blood.

In order to prevent the corpses of the killed monsters from attracting more monsters, they can only be placed at the edge of the convoy - within the range of the scent-isolating elemental magic.

Even though it was deliberately placed farthest away from Luxi's carriage, the smell was still faintly felt in a small place.

Lu Xi did not immediately hold his nose and go back, but looked at several yawning guards.

The price of not being able to have a good rest has gradually begun to be realized.

But there was nothing Lu Xi could do. She couldn't stop those monsters from approaching and testing her.

No wonder it is said that traveling through the wilderness is best done in a small mercenary group of several people.

The small number of people makes it easy to hide the aura, and the resting place only needs a small area, which is unobtrusive and not easy to be noticed. As long as there is enough dry food, there is no need to open the fire for half a month.

Unlike Lu Xi's motorcade, which had more than two hundred people on its own, there were still three to four hundred people hanging behind it.

Even if the resting place is as compact as possible, it still inevitably occupies a considerable area and is very conspicuous no matter where it is.

Isolating the smell can only be regarded as a means of not attracting monsters from far away, but it cannot prevent you from encountering any monsters on the road.

Maybe it would be better to set off with only a small number of people, Lu Xi thought in his heart, but he couldn't help but sigh. The current two hundred people were the result of her reduction of members. No matter how small it was, I'm afraid Betem and the others wouldn't let her go out. .

There is ready hot water and soup ingredients, breakfast is easy to solve, and no one has any objections. It is even more unexpected that you can still drink a bowl of hot soup when you get here.

Lu Xi came down and took two steps, and quickly reached the place where the monster corpses were piled. Xiuge carefully controlled a wind element to surround Lu Xi, blocking the approach of the possibly strong smell.

Lu Xi raised his head and stared at the hill-like pile of monsters, because he solved them quickly and neatly. There was no disgusting scene, and he didn't attract any mosquitoes, flies, or insects. There was just blood dripping from time to time.

You definitely can't take these with you when the convoy sets off, as it will take up too much space.

But just throwing it away like this is a bit of a waste. Lu Xi is a little reluctant. She can spend a lot of money to prepare props for the guards, but she still feels a little uncomfortable seeing some things being wasted.

You don’t have to make a profit, but you can’t lose money.

So after watching it for a long time, Lu Xi suddenly thought that maybe he could cut the meat of these monsters and make it into air-dried bacon?

Even if you can't fire in the wilderness, you can't eat it after leaving the wilderness. It would be good to prepare a bacon banquet when the time comes.

When he became interested, Lu Xi immediately called over the guards who had gradually begun to make various foods and explained his ideas.

Lu Xi didn't remember much about how to make bacon, but it didn't matter. As I said before, she just needed to know the general steps and let people try it.

The first thing is to cut the meat of these monsters. Because there are so many choices, I only choose the most delicious parts of the meat of different monsters and discard the rest.

The selected meat is then cut into strips of more than ten centimeters, marinated with seasonings, and hung outside each carriage to dry using the wind from the carriage.

Lu Xi excitedly planned to hang a row of bacon on his carriage, but Tevas and Shuge teamed up to stop him.

The guards heard about the bacon. Although they didn't taste anything, the food that Miss Lucy recognized could not be unpalatable no matter how they thought about it.

So after setting off again, most of the guards were discussing the matter of bacon and expressed their expectations for the subsequent bacon banquet.

There were even those greedy ones who, while others were not paying attention, secretly touched a handful of the bacon that had just been hung up and put it in their mouths to taste it.

Naturally, the only thing that could be tasted was the salty taste of the seasoning, and the other guards who were discovered laughed loudly.

The merchants further behind also learned to get some bacon and hang it outside the carriage if they had the conditions.

Lu Xi brought enough carriages. After all, most of the guards were elemental warriors and did not need to rely on carriages to travel, so the carriages were mostly places for storing things.

The basic necessities of life are all in the guards' own contract packages, but they are basically the smallest version, only one cubic meter in size, and are distributed uniformly by Lu Xi.

Considering the possibility of accidents, Lu Xi arranged a tent that could accommodate up to three people, two double quilts, a woven straw mat, and a monster blanket in the contract package for each guard. A set of kitchen utensils for cooking and making a fire, a set of tableware for eating, a bag of wild rice, and a kettle for collecting water.

This is almost an arrangement based on the worst-case scenario. Even if you are separated from the team and one or several people are in trouble, having these things can ensure that you can live smoothly in the short term.

Especially the kettle that collects water.

Not everyone can find a water source in time, or has the power of water elements, so water is almost the most important part of life.

The kettle that Lu Xi handed out has a downward funnel inside. As long as it is left outside in the middle of the night, it can collect a lot of water depending on the temperature difference between day and night.

I don’t say what it can be used for, but at least you won’t be short of water.

After loading these things, there is not much space left in the contract package. Things such as the food prepared later can only be placed in the carriage, but it cannot occupy all the space. You must know that each carriage is more than two meters wide and three to four meters long. Lu Xi also took out some storage boxes and placed them in the carriage, so that at least half of the space was available.

——Then, the guards who were too leisurely began the process of curing bacon on the carriage.

The monsters blocking the way were dealt with in the front and passed to the carriage behind, where they became strips of bacon and hung out.

At night, Lu Xi was surprised to find that most of the carriages were fully loaded.

However, the process of drying the bacon was not very satisfactory. When the convoy stopped to rest, Lu Xi looked over one by one and found that part of the bacon was obviously going bad.

It's just that other people don't know what bacon looks like, so they don't know whether this is good or bad.

Asking people to pick out the bacon that was obviously going bad and throw it away, Lu Xi began to think about the reason.

Air-dried bacon should be kept in a dry and shaded place...avoid the shade?

Lu Xi looked up at the carriages in front of him. Sure enough, the broken bacon was on the side facing the sun when the sun was the hottest in the afternoon.

"Hmm, I don't know if it's useful to hang a curtain to cover it." Lu Xi said to himself.

Xiuge suddenly raised his head and looked towards the depths of the wilderness.

It took a long time before Xiuge looked back.

"What's wrong?" Lu Xi also followed Xiuge's line of sight, but nothing appeared in her line of sight.

"The master here is starting to get restless." Shuge replied with a serious face, "Miss Lucy, be careful of the tide of monsters tonight."

The owner of the wilderness is naturally an intermediate-level monster or above who occupies this place and declares it as his own territory. This is also the main reason why humans have to abandon the wilderness.

Along the way, Xiuge and the intermediate elemental warriors in the convoy were trying their best not to take action, because they were worried that the fluctuations of their fighting aura would spread out and be noticed by the owner of the wilderness, thus attracting the other party.

Although Xiuge is not afraid of a mere intermediate monster, the trouble that comes with it is not something he can solve.

For example, the tide of monsters he just mentioned.

The smell of battle or death among intermediate monsters will alarm the monsters living around them.

As long as one monster is frightened and runs away, countless monsters will follow.

No one knows where they will run all the way and where they will stop, but obviously, whether there are tens of thousands of monsters or hundreds of thousands of monsters, it is not something Xiuge can solve alone.

Even tens of thousands of pigs cannot be killed in one go, not to mention that they are still running wildly and their speed is difficult to catch up with.

Lu Xi also knew the danger of the monster tide, so he quickly called Tevas to make arrangements, and everyone was on alert.

"Can you determine the reason?" Lu Xi was a little nervous. Although she had never seen the monster tide, she could tell how terrifying it was just thinking about it.

Shuge shook his head, "There are too many reasons. It may be that it is in heat, it may be that it has met a challenger, or the food is too unpalatable... Who knows what a monster is thinking."

Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo looked up at Xiuge at the same time. Xiuge laughed and said, "I didn't tell you about you."

In this tense atmosphere, the two wind-attributed intermediate elemental warriors who spent most of the night to explore the distance came back.

Brought bad news and good news.

The bad news is that the monster tide has indeed broken out, and the scale is not small. A rough calculation shows that at least hundreds of thousands of monsters are involved.

The good news is that the location of the convoy is not on the route of the monster tide. It is even completely in the opposite direction. There is no need to worry about being affected by the monster tide.

However, Tevas couldn't relax. He shook his head at Miss Lucy, "Miss Lucy, you can't let down your guard yet. Although the main body of the monster wave is not here, in most cases, there is not only one monster wave. "

Even monsters that have not participated in the monster tide will be more excited than usual and more easily stimulated at this time. If they are not careful, their convoy may encounter some small monster tide here.

Even if there are only a few thousand monsters involved, it is not easy to solve.

"We have to set off immediately and leave here as quickly as possible." Tevas made a decisive decision.

Lu Xi didn't understand these things, but she trusted Tevas's judgment, so she agreed to the matter immediately without any hesitation.

The convoy, which had been tense all night, began to set off in the night without any time to rest. Even the merchants and mercenaries behind it, no one had any objections to this.

As long as their IQ is normal, they can understand the dangers behind traveling at night. They only regret that they don't have an extra pair of legs to run faster, and they don't feel that it is really hard to have to travel at night.
