Chapter 70

The situation seemed to be getting worse...

Although in the midst of a crisis, the little one remained unusually calm, quietly staring at the charging porcupine, tightening the bowstring, and shooting!

Bang!

The arrow, flying at high speed, hit the porcupine's face dead center!

"Ow!"

Bang, bang, bang!

The porcupine's ultimate move, countless sharp quills shot out!

Crouching down, raising the shield, the small body curled up completely behind the round shield!

Clang, clang, clang! Like a storm, countless quills clanged against the shield in front of the little girl. She gritted her teeth, holding the shield tightly, not daring to relax for a moment!

One step, two steps, three steps...

In the end, the porcupine stopped just a couple of meters in front of the little girl!

"Phew"

Relieved, she quickly stood up, looking at the small round shield with some dents, feeling a bit heartbroken. The little girl took out a small knife she carried with her, preparing to finish off the porcupine!

"Clap, clap, clap!"

A round of applause came, accompanied by a voice the little girl had been longing to hear!

"Not bad, not bad, it seems you've improved a lot!"

"Brother? Nanan!" She suddenly turned around, and sure enough...

The little girl suddenly rushed over, smelling the familiar scent, tears streaming down uncontrollably! She was overjoyed!

"Yiya!"

"This is..."

...

In the evening, in front of the cave.

A huge bonfire was burning, Erl Dongsheng was busy by the fire, Sibia was helping, while the little girl and the small sea demon were staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Yiya!"

"Nanan!"

"Yiyaya!"

"Enen, Nanan!"

...

What is all this!

Erl Dongsheng was rolling the large porcupine on the fire, occasionally cutting a few slices to let the heat penetrate better!

The porcupine's skin began to turn a scorched red, occasionally making a crisp cracking sound, indicating that its skin was completely cooked! A rich aroma wafted out, making Sibia's throat twitch as she looked at Erl Dongsheng with eager eyes!

Cutting a small piece of the skin, he put it in his mouth and nodded!

"En, not bad, it's a bit charred! The meat inside is about four or five-tenths done, a bit more roasting and it will be ready to eat!" As he spoke, he took out a small box from the side, a pile of fruits hidden inside! Most of them were already completely shriveled!

He grabbed a small handful, crushed it hard, and slowly sprinkled the powder over the entire porcupine! Instantly, a more intense aroma spread throughout the cave!

This was a seasoning fruit similar to cumin, discovered during the rainy season. Erl Dongsheng had picked quite a few, dried them all, and used them as a seasoning!

Roast meat must have cumin, otherwise...

"Nan!" The little succubus sniffed, her face filled with delight, it had been so long since she had smelled such a delicious aroma! How many days had it been? Anyway, she felt it had been a very long time! As for the food she and Sibia had been making these days, well, it's better not to mention it! Just thinking about it made the little girl's heart ache!

"Yaya!" There was an even more impatient one, the little sea demon, who couldn't wait to fly over to Erl Dongsheng! She didn't care about the silent battle with the succubus, in her heart, eating was the most important!

Perching on Erl Dongsheng's shoulder, this was her territory. Then she started pulling his hair, her eyes shining as she looked at the roast meat, drooling uncontrollably.

Sigh! They were all foodies!

He cut a small piece of the crispy skin for the little sea demon, then thought for a moment and tore off a large piece of meat for the little succubus, making both of them beam with joy!

As for Sibia, the little demon, who was eagerly watching, well, he hadn't eaten yet, so why were you in such a hurry!

Wait your turn!

...

He had just returned and hadn't even rested, but he started preparing a feast to celebrate his return from the adventure!

After a brush with death, his appetite always opened up!

Calling him a foodie wasn't wrong!

"Alright, eat a little to fill your stomachs, there's plenty of good stuff today!"

He would let the porcupine roast slowly, and now he would prepare another delicious dish!

This porcupine had just gone through the Abyssal Rainy Season, so it was quite plump. Not only was the meat on its body juicy and tender, but even the inside was full of fat!

Pork intestine! Whether in his past life or this one, it was always his favorite!

This thing was especially good when stir-fried with some chili, making one's mouth water!

In the wooden bucket, the plump pork intestine had been soaking for half a day, using up a lot of water, which made the little succubus and Sibia quite heartbroken!

However, there was still some odor!

Erl Dongsheng picked up the pork intestine, sniffed it, and frowned!

He didn't expect that even after soaking for so long, there was still a nasty smell! What to do? This world didn't have many things to remove the odor, what could he use to handle this?

Just throw it away? That would be such a waste!

Pork intestine must be soaked for a long time to remove the strong odor, only then can it be used as a good ingredient, otherwise, it's inedible! Especially for wild porcupines, if not cleaned properly, the smell could be nauseating! You wouldn't even want to smell it, let alone eat it!

Since there was still some odor that couldn't be removed, he needed to use something with a stronger smell to cover it up. What to use?

Erl Dongsheng tilted his head, thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up.

Flower nectar powder!

That's right, it was this. Previously, it was a must-have for Erl Dongsheng's hunting! This thing not only had a strong smell but was also non-toxic and edible, capable of neutralizing most bloody odors, and the slight odor of the pork intestine was no problem!

The best part was that this thing not only removed the odor but, when mixed with water, could quickly dissolve the odor into the water, making it a must-have for daily life! The only downside was the smell, which was a bit...

"Cough, cough, still the same, always so stimulating!" He quickly poured some into the wooden bucket and moved away. This thing wasn't something you could defend against by holding your breath, it was like mustard, seeping into every pore!

You think you can hold your breath and avoid it? Dream on!

This task would be better left to Sibia. Following the same steps, changing the water a few more times would be enough!

Erl Dongsheng shamelessly handed this arduous task to the little demon Sibia! The solemn attitude made Sibia feel a sense of trust, and she vowed to complete the task to the death!

Awkward...

Seeing how diligent you are, I'll reward you with a few more pieces of pork intestine later! But, I hope you won't regret it!

The smell, tsk tsk!

Erl Dongsheng shook his head and left the area. The food he was preparing wasn't just this, there was also Abyssal Tree Heart Soup, stir-fried vegetables and meat, and fruit salad. Well, this fruit salad was just a pile of chopped fruits and vegetables, he couldn't make salad dressing!

"Brother! Lulu wants juice, Nanan!"

"Oh, it seems it's been a long time since we had juice, what flavor do you want?"

"Nan, sweet, Nanan!" The little girl bit her finger, actually, she wanted to try many flavors, but it had been so long since she had juice, and she was always clumsy and couldn't make it herself! However, sweet was still her favorite!

"En, how about Beier? Do you want some?" He turned and asked the little sea demon, who was busy eating meat. Erl Dongsheng was quite caring towards this little one, after all, he had brought her out, and he had a responsibility to take good care of her!

"Yaya! Yaya!" Although she didn't understand what juice was, if the succubus wanted it, she wouldn't be left behind. If the succubus had it, she wanted it too!

The relationship between the two little ones seemed a bit subtle!

As soon as Beier spoke, she felt a gaze, and then... the two little ones started staring at each other again! Of course, they were still eating their food!

"Really..." At this scene, Erl Dongsheng suddenly felt a sense of warmth. Compared to the life and death struggles outside, although he liked it, the warmth of home was even more captivating!

Home? Is this what home feels like!

Having a home is really great!

Even without you, I will still live a happy life!

Master, are you well? I am ungrateful and cannot serve you at your feet!

I cannot return, because there are people I care about here!

Even if I am a demon, the last bit of light in humanity still remains in my heart. Home, I will never forget!

On this lonely road, having you all by my side is truly fortunate!

And, cherish the simple days, they are really beautiful!

(Simple days are really beautiful. Readers, cherish them if you can. The days with your parents, the simple life at school, only when they are gone do you truly appreciate them! Our lives continue, and simple, pure days are becoming rarer. If you are tired, go back and experience them again, just to savor the lost warmth. They are really beautiful!)
