Chapter 23: Spend the Night in the Wild
…………

It was almost evening when Jiang Shang and his companions came out of the ant nest.

The glow of the sunset was like a gorgeous cloak draped over their group of people, bringing glory and honor to these people who had just fought with the demons.

"Let's set up camp in front today. It's a nice place!" Zhou Yi said.

"it is good"

……

The place Zhou Yi mentioned was a cliff on the patrol route of Jiang Shang and his team. It was suspended on all four sides and only one side was exposed to the enemy. If we didn't consider the monsters with climbing ability, it was the most suitable place to camp. They also camped there when they patrolled before.

When night came, everyone sat around the campfire. They had already spread demon-repelling powder near the tents.

The broth in an iron pot was bubbling above a campfire. The meat inside was obtained from a sheep monster that Jiang Shang and his companions had killed in the afternoon.

Although when eating in the wild one should try to find something whose smell is not easy to spread or just eat compressed biscuits, the demons nearby have already been swept away by the military mages.

So there aren’t that many taboos.

Before setting off this time, Jiang Shang also prepared many things including seasonings. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to prepare food on the road, so they were just given things like the military compressed biscuits that were distributed uniformly!

This goat demon was unlucky and happened to be caught in the crossfire. It happened that no one had eaten dinner yet, so when Jiang Shang suggested eating roasted lamb, everyone's eyes lit up!

It turns out that people can do anything when they are hungry, especially when they have only eaten compressed biscuits for several days!
When the few people whose mouths were almost blistered by the compressed biscuits these days saw the sheep monster, all they thought about was roasted lamb legs, roasted whole lamb and the like!

The scene when the action started was too cruel!
In the end, half of the sheep's bones were broken, and half of the big horn on its head was also broken!
After returning to the campsite for the night, Jiang Shang rummaged through the bag he had been carrying and found several packets of seasonings and a knife that he had bought and put in the bag before setting off!

Although he had little experience in cooking, the military magicians around him knew how to cook! If they had the chance in the wild, they would also cook a few meals like this, and after doing it many times, they became experienced.

After Jiang Shang handed the sheep to them, he went to fetch water nearby with Lao Bi and several students.

When I came back, I saw that Zhuzhou and his men had already cleaned the entire sheep and burned all the fur off with fire!
Therefore, Huozi can not only kill demons, but also be a good helper at home!
Zhuzhou and his colleagues first started a fire on the cleared space, and then directed the students to break off suitable branches from the trees to make a simple barbecue grill.

After putting the cleaned whole sheep on the grill, use an iron pot to cook the mutton soup!

The ingredients for mutton soup are made from the two legs of the sheep, one front and one hind, and the rib meat from its chest.

Due to the simple conditions, they simply put the meat and bones into the pot, added seasonings and stewed them. In the middle, they also added wild vegetables that Lao Bi picked from somewhere.

But even so, after eating the roasted lamb and drinking the lamb soup, the group of people almost shed tears of emotion...

After dealing with the garbage after eating, Jiang Shang and his team began to set up tents on the spot.

The construction of a tent also requires careful attention. The opening should be facing the air outlet to prevent the smell from being carried away, and stability must also be ensured!
Jiang Shang also mastered this skill with the patient help of the military magician.

"What is the order of the night watch tonight?" Jiang Shang asked the military magician.

"Let's divide it into three time periods: 9pm to 12pm, 12pm to 4pm, and 4pm to 7pm. We'll have one military magician and two students on night watch each time. In case the person on night watch accidentally falls asleep, at least there are people who can wake him up." Zhou Yi said.

Zhu Zhou thought it was okay and nodded.

"Well, Zhou Yuan and I will guard together from 9 to 12 o'clock," Jiang Shang said.

"That's fine. Before, you always guarded the second half of the night. Now you have to guard no matter how you guard. Let them experience what it feels like to guard the second half of the night." Zhu Zhou thought of something after hearing Jiang Shang's words. He smiled and agreed immediately.

"Okay, okay, I'm fine!" Zhou Yuan said from the side.

"but"

"Now for a more serious question..."

Zhu Zhou suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Shang and Lao Bi immediately moved closer, with inquiring looks on their faces and serious eyes.

"There's a water source nearby, shouldn't we go wash it?"

Jiang Shang and the others were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes became sharp!
"You really need to wash it. You've been climbing over mountains and hills these past few days and your whole body is sticky and smells bad!" Jiang Shang analyzed.

"But we have female classmates in our team and we have to think about how to deal with them."

"This is easy. Let's explore the area near the water source and let the girls wash first."

"Okay, let's do it."

After deciding on the matter, Jiang Shang and his team split into two groups. One team continued to build the unfinished tent and clean up the food, while the other team went to explore the water source.

Jiang Shang was also assigned to the team to explore the water source. After all, his third-level thunder seal is the most powerful skill of the entire team. It can not only paralyze monsters but also cause unparalleled damage!

Following the route they took to deal with the sheep demon, Jiang Shang and his companions arrived at the place where they fetched water during their meal.

After arriving at the place, they divided into three groups of three and explored in three directions except the direction they came from.

Jiang Shang's task was to explore one hundred meters downstream along the water flow. Together with him were Leng Ci and Bao Benyi, two people who had been assigned together due to the special physical training.

After all, apart from the two military mages left at the camp, there were only three left. The ones following were a wind element, a fire element, and a water element.

Jiang Shang, a level 3 thunder expert, obviously took on the responsibility of leading a group alone.

Jiang Shang and his companions walked forward step by step along the river. The river was also the place they focused their inspection on, for fear that there were several monsters hidden in the river.

"There's nothing here either. We can go back now," Jiang Shang said to the other two after checking the place which was more than 150 meters away from where they separated.

During the inspection, Jiang Shang also used all his skills, such as finding monsters, identifying footprints, etc. He did find something, but after careful identification, he found that it was the Wind Wolf that had come to the river several days ago.

And since I didn't see any footprints from more recent times, I gave up.

But what made Jiang Shang laugh and cry was that when they found the footprints, Bao Benyi and the others were almost scared to the point of using all their magic, fearing that there was a magic wolf staring at them in some corner.

He had no choice but to quickly tell them that these magic wolves might have been cleared out by the military magician, otherwise the scene would have been unbearable to watch.

When we got to the water source, the other two teams were already waiting there. After exchanging some information, we returned to the camp.

　With this change in Versatile Mage, the outline has become a pirated one, so annoying...
