Chapter 86: Peaceful Breakfast, right?
Xiao Yan's long wilderness experience still brought them considerable benefits. He took some fur he had plucked from the Amethyst Winged Lion King and carefully scattered it around their camp. No magical beasts disturbed them all night.
When Fang Bie and Xiao Yan woke up from their respective beds, the sky gradually brightened, and it was time to prepare breakfast.
This time, the atmosphere in the surroundings was very calm, and nothing disturbed them. They spent a night of peace and tranquility that was quite precious in this forest.
Originally, Xiao Yan's life was extremely rough, but under Fang Bie's influence, he also became accustomed to this kind of refined life. The main reason was that having a space like a Storage Backpack nearby was just too convenient.
He only used his Storage Ring to store some Medicinal Pills. All other things were piled up in the Backpack.
Fang Bie even had the leisure to take some Wooden Blocks from the trees beside them and elegantly made two benches. He put away the beds they slept on and set up a stove inside the room.
Fang Bie specifically made a few of these portable work blocks so that even in the wilderness, he could enjoy Home-style Dishes at any time. Of course, he could only bring one pot, and he also needed to reserve space for Food, weapons, and other sundries. Although he had a thirty-six slot Backpack, the space was not particularly spacious in reality.
"So fragrant!" Xiao Yan opened the door next door and squinted as he felt his way over from the side. "Fang Bie, you're fast! I just finished tidying up, and you've already started cooking?"
"Simple Western Food, bread, jam, and vegetables are all ready-made. I'll heat up the sausage and fry an egg, and that'll be it!"
Fang Bie casually took out two sausages from the Furnace next to him. This was also a product of Food Craft, but it came from the box he had taken from the Village back then.
Eggs were even simpler. Fang Bie directly used a funnel and glass to make a small Chicken Farm. Inside the Chicken Farm, there was a Water Flow that could collect all the eggs into the box below the funnel. In one day, he collected more than 30 eggs. This egg-laying speed was truly the envy of ordinary Chicken Farm owners.
Xiao Yan was not idle either. Taking advantage of this time, he took out a Stone Axe and directly chopped down the wood in the surroundings.
All the wood and Wooden Planks are recyclable tools, and they might be needed at any time. At least before they still have extra Backpack slots, they cannot be wasted.
By the time Fang Bie put the eggs on their respective plates, the Small House next to them had disappeared, leaving only the empty woods and the grassland with some dew.
"I never thought I'd be able to enjoy an authentic Western Food in this forest teeming with Magical Beasts?" Xiao Yan said, picking up a sandwich from the table. In the wooden bowl next to him was milk.
Fang Bie bringing Food was already his limit. It was impossible for him to really bring all kinds of pots and pans, so he could only improvise and make a few bowls out of Wooden Planks using local materials.
Both of them were not concerned with minor details. They enjoyed this breakfast, but unexpectedly, before they had finished eating, they encountered a group of uninvited guests.
The rustling footsteps gradually appeared in the woods. These were human footsteps, the sound of brushing against the grass.
The two of them sat leisurely in the somewhat empty woods, watching the newcomers with composure.
Judging from the direction, it seemed to be the people from the woods not far away last night. Black smoke was still rising over there. It seemed that this group had just set off as well.
If they weren't planning to continue deeper into the mountains, then it meant that the two of them, by a twist of fate, had still taken the right road.
Walking at the front seemed to be a young woman. She had been sniffing all the way until she turned a corner and saw the two people sitting here, and then she suddenly understood.
"Uncle Ka Gang, there really are people making a fire and cooking here!" She waved to the people behind her, and a group of five gradually appeared in front of them.
Fang Bie did not remember these minor characters who had only appeared in a few chapters in the Original Story. Xiao Yan was no longer the cautious and timid, honest young man who revealed his carefulness everywhere.
The two of them ignored the sudden visitors and continued to eat their breakfast very calmly.
"You two... hmm..." From the corner of the woods, a middle-aged uncle with a kind face walked over. Xiao Yan glanced casually and whispered four words to Fang Bie, "Five-Star Battle Practitioner."
"Should be just an ordinary Mercenary Group team, it doesn't matter." Fang Bie shook his head slightly and stuffed the bread in his hand into his mouth before looking them over with interest.
Ka Gang did not sense the Realm of these two young men, but he did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.
Years of mercenary life had taught him the principle of harmony being paramount, especially since the two young men were leisurely eating breakfast in this crisis-ridden forest, and at first glance, they didn't seem easy to provoke.
"Two young brothers, are you heading to Green Mountain Town?" he continued to ask.
"Yes!" Fang Bie nodded. "We are indeed going to Green Mountain Town. What, is there a problem?"
As he spoke, the aura from his body was released, which happened to be a level higher than the middle-aged man in front of him. However, when his aura dissipated, it made the people in front of him breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Although a Six-Star Battle Practitioner is relatively rare, especially for such a young man, it was still within their acceptable range.
"There's no need, we'll go our own way. Anyway, the distance isn't far." Xiao Yan directly refused their invitation, ignoring the young woman's face that seemed to have turned a bit ashen. He turned the table in front of him back into blocks and put them away.
"We wouldn't want to take you with us anyway, how arrogant!" After the young woman's face changed drastically, she muttered casually, but it made the middle-aged man in front of her show a wry smile.
He was just about to apologize, but he was interrupted by an extremely arrogant voice, "Who do we have here? Turns out it's a few pups from the Blood Battle Mercenary Group? Oh, Ka Gang is here too!"
"That's just great. There's even a little girl with such a good figure. If I didn't have urgent business today, I really wouldn't want to let you go!"
A skinny man rode past them on horseback, and as he passed, he did not forget to tease the previously unruly young girl.
The young girl's face was pale. Where was her previous arrogance now?
"Let's go!" He flicked the whip in his hand and casually lashed it towards a person beside him, accompanied by the subordinates' boisterous laughter.
"Hey! I'm just a passerby. Isn't it a bit bad to just hit people randomly?" Fang Bie grabbed the whip and forcefully pulled the person off the horse, tossing him to Xiao Yan.
Fang Bie seemed to vaguely remember this minor character who had appeared briefly in the Original Story, which was why he didn't execute him on the spot.
"Little Yanzi, yours!" Fang Bie didn't even look closely and slapped the person away with one hand.
The Strength his body possessed was never a joke. If others really thought he was just an ordinary Battle Practitioner, they would definitely suffer a great loss.
"Why are you throwing trash at me? Do you think I'm a garbage disposal station?" Xiao Yan slapped him unhappily and directly slammed this fellow, who hadn't even figured out the situation, to the ground. The soft soil sank a bit, and a deep pit appeared on the ground.
"Doesn't he have a hammer on him? Maybe he's your enemy!" Fang Bie curled his lips and said to the few bewildered lackeys, "What are you looking at? Get lost!"
This fierce and imposing appearance was quite in the style of my Brother Ge You.
"Gan Mu, deputy leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group?" Xiao Yan recognized him at this moment. This person who had previously hunted him down was now worlds apart when they met again.
"Those who hunted me down before were just these embarrassing things?"
The purple flames on his hand rose up completely. Before this person could even say a last word, his eyes were already wide open, and he turned into ashes.
