Chapter 97: Night in the Black Forest
Li Qingzhou wandered around the forest for most of the day with Ping An and Taiping, but he gained nothing.
The ferocious beasts encountered were basically of the black iron level and bronze level, and none of them had medals representing points.
Apart from the water spirit grass, I didn't encounter any other resources.
The sky was getting darker, and the already dark black forest looked even more gloomy.
Li Qingzhou decided to find a place to rest first.
Neither the three-tailed spirit fox Ping An nor the stone monkey Taiping are nocturnal beasts and are not good at night fighting.
Moreover, in the dark, his beast-control talent cannot be used, and he will be very passive when facing ferocious beasts disguised in the dark.
Not long after, Li Qingzhou discovered a small cave.
The cave is not big, but there is no problem in accommodating them.
Ping An and Taiping walked around the cave and checked it carefully. Li Qingzhou also looked at the situation in the cave carefully. After confirming that there was no danger, he felt relieved.
There is a grassland in front of the cave, which is green and smooth.
Li Qingzhou picked up some dead branches nearby, then found a flat place to prepare dinner.
He had just set up the dead branches, and then Ping An came over, opened his mouth slightly, spit out a ball of flame, and lit the dead branches.
Amidst the "crackling" sound, the flames engulfed the firewood, making a crisp sound and bursts of light smoke.
Li Qingzhou used a thick branch to clean up a newly caught red rabbit, then put it on the fire to roast. As the flames roasted, the rabbit meat gradually turned golden brown, and the fat particles condensed into water droplets and dripped down.
On the grass, a delicious smell spreads everywhere.
Ping An and Taiping lay beside the flames, looking eagerly at the rabbit meat roasting on the fire, drooling from the corners of their mouths.
Li Qingzhou stretched out his hand, and several small bottles and jars flew out of the storage ball. They were the condiments he carried with him, including salt, cumin, chili powder... everything.
The two pet beasts looked at the rabbit meat roasting on the fire, swallowed their saliva, and their stomachs growled unsatisfactorily.
If Li Qingzhou hadn't stopped him, Stone Monkey Taiping would have rushed up and eaten all the rabbit meat. Now he could only wait, and the smell of the meat would bring out the gluttons in his belly.
Taiping scratched his head and scratched his head, very impatient.
Although Ping An was drooling with greed, he was much calmer. This beast master knew magic. As long as he sprinkled those powders, the rabbit meat would become more delicious.
It has to wait until the rabbit is roasted and the seasonings are sprinkled on it.
Seeing the greedy looks of the two beasts, Li Qingzhou smiled slightly, then carefully sprinkled the seasonings on the rabbit meat, and then slowly turned the branches to roast. The fragrance of the air became stronger and stronger.
After a while, Li Qingzhou came closer and smelled it, and said happily: "It's ready, you can eat it."
After hearing Li Qingzhou's words, Taiping looked at a golden and fragrant rabbit in front of him, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to catch it. Unexpectedly, he forgot to petrify it, and when his hand touched it, he said "ah" and retracted.
A few of the monkey hairs on my hands were burnt, and my hands were also burned.
When Li Qingzhou saw this, he smiled and said, "Don't be anxious!"
As he spoke, he took the branch away from the fire, waited until the temperature on the meat dropped a little, and then carefully tore off the hind legs of the two rabbits and handed them to Taiping and Ping An respectively.
Li Qingzhou looked at Ping An and Taiping with a smile and said, "Eat! You two little gluttons."
Taiping and Pingping couldn't wait to open their mouths to bite the rabbit meat. They didn't care that the rabbit meat was hot. While eating, they opened their mouths wide and breathed out the hot air.
Li Qingzhou also tore off a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth. The rabbit meat was grilled perfectly, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. With various seasonings, it was very delicious.
The sky turned completely dark, and darkness enveloped the entire forest.
The fire was dancing on the grass, and one person and two animals were enjoying the delicious rabbit meat.
The wind howled through the woods, causing the woods to roar like a tidal wave. Thatch and dead branches swayed and trembled, hitting and rubbing against each other, constantly moaning.
Covered in deep black, the blurred trees in the distance looked ferocious, as if some monster was making an icy laugh in the darkness.
The forest shrouded in darkness is always frightening.
"Pipa"
The fire exploded, and the flames gradually became fainter.
Li Qingzhou broke off a few dead branches and put them into the fire. The flames got new fuel and burned brightly again, illuminating the darkness.
Just as Li Qingzhou was about to add more firewood, a strange sound came from the forest not far away, which was the sound of footsteps.
Li Qingzhou sat up straight and looked forward.
Ping An and Taiping also stood up, pricking up their ears and staring at the woods in front of them.
"Hey, you can actually meet someone here, you're so lucky!"
A young man of about 27 or 27 years old walked out of the forest. He was followed by two pet beasts. One was a plant. There was a big mouth on the top of the plant, with traces of sulfur-colored liquid flowing out of it. It was a bronze level 3 gluttony. flower.
The other one is also a plant and looks like a tree.

[Introduction: It looks like a pine tree. The trunk is wrapped with thorns. The leaves are iron-black. The branches are like arms, and the ends are palms covered with spikes. 】
Li Qingzhou looked at the visitor warily, but he still sat in front of the fire and did not move.
"Brother, you look very young. Is this your first time taking the entrance exam for Linyuan University?" The man walked forward slowly and asked.
"Yes." Li Qingzhou answered concisely.
"But are you from a beast taming family?" The man slowly approached, and with the firelight, he could see his face clearly. He had a square face with two thick black eyebrows hanging above his eyes.
"No." Li Qingzhou replied.
"Then I'm relieved." The man took a long breath, as if he had put down a heavy stone in his heart.
"Brother, I have taken the entrance exam for Linyuan University four times, and I almost passed it every time! This is the fifth time I have come to this secret realm." The man continued to speak, and the gluttonous flower and the thorn tree monster followed him on the left and right.
"Those silver-level beasts all have medals on them, but they are too brutal and powerful. I almost lost my life the last few times I encountered them."
"Once I tried my best to kill a beast, but was attacked by a bastard and my medal was taken away."
"So I learned my lesson and won't fight beasts anymore."
The man approached, and the firelight reflected his sinister smile. The flames danced, and his shadow was stretched and dragged on the ground, like a lurking ghost.
"Little brother, I want to borrow something from you!
