Elven settlers

Chapter 353
Because it is returning along the route when it came, the time used for the return journey is a little faster.

When it was just getting dark, Rock and the elves returned to the ranch.

"There's no fence or anything here. It's hard to judge the range of the ranch without looking at the navigator."

After passing a very common bush, the color of the range displayed on the navigator in Rock's hand finally turned green, which made him feel a little awkward.

Although most of the surroundings of the ranch are familiar to him, but there are no clear signs, sometimes it is still unclear.

However, Rock just felt it. His ranch has a total of [-] hectares. It is obviously too early to consider the fence of the ranch.

Rock buried the construction of the fence in his heart, then clenched the handle on Geranium's saddle with both hands, and clamped its stomach with his legs, indicating that he had sat firmly.

"Gamma!"

Geranium, which received the signal from Rock, let out a cheerful cry, and suddenly increased its speed, and the Heluga who followed behind it also suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the camp at high speed.

After returning to the ranch, the elves were very excited, and new strength emerged from their tired bodies, so Rock and the others quickly returned to the camp.

"What!"

"Nee duo~"

Nido King and Nido Queen, who were eating leaves with the sheep in the camp, waved their arms happily when they saw Roque and his party coming back, and then they turned their attention to the Heluga who had all evolved .

"Hey~"

After seeing King Nido and Queen Nido, the Helujas also greeted them enthusiastically wagging their tails.

These ferocious hunters in the Yunhui Mountains, after returning to the ranch, turned into friendly and reliable guardians again.

In the perception of King Nido and Queen Nido, although the appearance of the Helujas had changed, they still had the familiar breath of their companions, so they soon stopped paying attention.

On the other hand, the Mali sheep and the woolly sheep, who are also very concerned about the evolved Heluga, feel more strongly.

This is because the derubys before evolution were about the same height and build as the Mare sheep and the velvet sheep.

But after evolution, these Heiluga Qiqi are all 1.4 meters to 1.5 meters in height, and even the legs of the woolly sheep stand upright and only reach the shoulders of the Heiluga. This size gap is really a bit big.

In the future, when the Heluga herd the sheep, it might look like a group of kindergarten teachers taking their children on an outing.

This greatly increased the sense of security of the Mali sheep and the woolly sheep, but also felt a little bit of oppression.

But with the naughtiness of these lambs, it won't be long before the sense of oppression brought by the evolved Heluga will disappear.

Even now, there are already some brave Mare sheep and wool sheep, secretly preparing to fly over the heads of the Heluga.

Rock didn't care about the mental activities of the flock, he still had a lot of things to do.

"Thank you, don't eat the leaves, I'll cook later."

He got off Geranium's back, patted the Nido King and Nido Queen's arms, and unloaded the hunt carried by the elves.

I didn't feel much when being scattered by the Hei Lujias. After all the bags were unloaded at this time, the bags of raw meat were piled up, directly piled up into a hill, showing the huge harvest of Rock and the others in the past two days.

Of course, it would take a lot of effort to smoke so much raw meat, so Rock didn't plan to do it today. He planned to rest overnight and start making bacon tomorrow.

"Chenglong help freeze these pieces of meat again, everyone can move around freely, it's been a hard day for the past two days."

Even though they were free to move around, the Helujas still lay lazily in the camp, surrounding Rock and waiting for him to make dinner.

Today's day of safari and carrying prey all the way back made them a little tired, and even the last of their strength was used up when they sprinted towards the camp just now, so they don't want to move at all now.

Only the Arbo monsters who have been in the battle all day are still relatively energetic, so they are arranged by Rock to grab the ingredients for dinner.

After settling down the elves, Roque didn't forget the strange-colored armored chrysalis, after all, it was worth a lot of money.

While waiting for Hei Lujia and Abo to grab the ingredients, he rushed to the forest where the armored chrysalis was placed to check it out.

The eleven armored pupae, including the heterochromatic iron armored pupae, all looked very good.

So Rock took advantage of the situation and arranged for the battle between the Doudouge and the armored chrysalis.

A typical insect-type elf like the Iron Armor Pupa has a notable feature, that is, the evolutionary cycle is relatively short.

Therefore, Rock should let the Doudou pigeons fight as much as possible before the armored chrysalis evolved, so as not to waste resources.

The Doudou pigeons who have not participated in the battle for two days have not forgotten the feeling of being in the octagonal cage.After a battle that was neither difficult nor dangerous, they quickly ended today's combat practice.

At this time, it happened that Rock's Heluga and Arbor came back with the ingredients they caught, so Rock started to make dinner.

After returning to the ranch, the cooking conditions improved a lot. Rock swiftly made an ordinary but sumptuous ranch dinner, and enjoyed it with the elves.

After filling his stomach, he swam for a while in the already somewhat cold Jingkong River with Abo Monster, Heluga, Geranium, and Chenglong, and washed away the dust of the two days along the way.

Finally they lay down on the comfortable camp beds and fell into a deep sleep.

After a good night's rest, Rock woke up energetically from the bed under the action of his biological clock, and started a day's work.

Today's main job is bacon. After breakfast, Rock started the pre-bacon preparations.

The piece of meat frozen by Chenglong before going to bed last night has returned to normal after a night of thawing.

Rock first washed off the blood on the meat, and then cut the raw meat into thick slices as long as forearms.

Rock is no stranger to the way bacon is made, having made bacon a few times before when he first started reclamation.

Now the conditions are much better than before, so this time, in order to increase the flavor, Rock also put the cut raw meat into several iron buckets, marinated with salt, black pepper, garlic, parsley, onion and honey Made it up.

This step actually used up a lot of Rock's seasonings, especially salt, and directly used up his stock.

But the bacon will last all winter when it's made, so Rock thinks it's worth it.

While waiting for the raw meat to be marinated, Roque brought the elves to the Jingkong River.

The vegetation in autumn is different every day, and after only two days, the weeds on the pasture gradually began to wither and turn yellow.

In order to avoid setting the prairie on fire, Rock let the geraniums clear a clearing on the wetter river bank, and then set up a bacon rack.

He still uses a bacon rack in the form of a triangular bracket, which is the easiest way to make it. You only need to dig a shallow fire pit, and then use three two-meter-high branches to build a triangular wooden frame on it.

Since the amount of raw meat to be smoked this time is relatively large, in order to save time, Rock set up ten bacon racks at one time, so that a lot of bacon can be smoked at one time.

After the bacon rack is done, the raw meat is almost marinated.

Rock skewered the marinated raw meat with tamarisk branches and put it on the bacon rack, then sealed the surroundings of the bacon rack with spruce branches, and then spread Helu to burn in the fire pit under the bacon rack. Oak charcoal, let Heluga ignite it with jet flames.

After the charcoal was ignited, Rock put fresh oak branches on the burning charcoal, and the ten bacon racks suddenly emitted thick white smoke.
