Chapter 453: From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality is difficult (two chapters in one)
The crime scene of the wood processing factory is dozens of kilometers away.
In this dangerous wilderness, a young man wearing sunglasses, camouflage uniforms, and holding a spiritual sword was looking at a strange beast with a middle-level second-level cultivation with gleaming eyes. .
In order to make the magical little tree grow as soon as possible, Lin Li made the silver-white magical little fruit mature.
Today, after entering the treacherous wilderness, he immediately advanced dozens of kilometers deep into the wilderness without stopping.
The further you advance into the wilderness, the easier it is to encounter ferocious and powerful beasts.
For the team of exotic animal hunters who hunt exotic animals in the wilderness, for safety reasons, when operating in the wilderness, everyone will still choose a safe way to find prey and will not rush in all at once. Into the depths of the wilderness.
Lin Li's unscrupulous and eager hunting of exotic beasts is difficult to see in an exotic beast hunter.
Although everyone goes into the wilderness to hunt exotic animals mainly to make money, there is one truth that everyone knows, that is, no matter how much money you make, you have to have the life to spend it, no matter how much it affects your combat power. If you have confidence, you cannot wander around in the wilderness.
Because of the lack of protection, a terrifying and unpredictable beast suddenly jumps out and cannot be escaped. It would be too late to regret it.
After entering the wilderness, you must not let yourself fall into a dangerous situation with no way out in order to hunt exotic animals. This is a rule of thumb for operating in the wilderness that senior exotic animal hunters have repeatedly warned newcomers.
With small eyes and a body covered with thorns, as sharp as needles, this is a huge hedgehog.
The fat body is two meters long, with four sturdy legs and sharp claws, glowing with cold light, and exuding mid-level second-level psychic energy fluctuations.
The giant hedgehog beast looked at the human with eyes flashing in front of him and a happy expression on his face, and his heart was full of confusion.
It’s not like it hasn’t encountered humans before. The humans it met in the past, after seeing it, immediately put on a prepared posture and looked at themselves with solemn expressions.
Unlike the human being in front of him, he could clearly feel the joy expressed by the other person at this moment. He looked at himself as if he had encountered some big happy event, and he had a sense of immediacy as if he had encountered prey.
< br>“The fourth one.”
“Oh, my luck is really good this morning!”
"In one morning, I encountered four strange beasts with second-level cultivation. I will work harder in the afternoon and strive to harvest more prey today than yesterday, so that the maturity of the magical little fruit will be greatly increased."< br>
Lin Li put his sunglasses back into the mysterious island, looked at the giant hedgehog and strange beast with a smile on his face, muttered something, and his joy was beyond words.
Then, without waiting for the giant hedgehog beast to roar in dissatisfaction, he attacked first and rushed over with the spiritual weapon long sword.
"Roar...?"
The giant hedgehog beast did not expect that the human in front of it would take the initiative to attack itself. This was also the first time it had encountered this operation.
A pale golden aura bloomed in Lin Li's palm, and a sharp cyan wind blade condensed and formed instantly.
“Phew.”
Lin Li, who was charging, waved his left hand, and the condensed cyan wind blade burst out. The wind blade tore through the air and made a sharp whistling sound. In the blink of an eye, the giant hedgehog beast was hit hard before it could react. One blow.
"Tsk..."
The sharp blue wind blade was extremely sharp, hitting the body of the giant hedgehog beast full of fat, directly cutting a deep and visible bone. From the wound, blood immediately spurted out.
"Roar..."
As soon as the scream came out of his mouth, the spiritual weapon long sword imbued with psychic energy appeared in front of him.
"Pfft."
The spiritual weapon sword penetrated into the brain, and the giant hedgehog beast opened its mouth wide and screamed. It stopped screaming, and the spiritual energy fluctuations on its body weakened rapidly.
The gap between the middle of the second level and the peak of the second level is too big. In the eyes of ordinary alien hunters, the giant hedgehog alien beast that is particularly difficult to deal with was actually killed by Lin Li in a single encounter.
"Hey, the fourth one is done." Lin Li looked at the lifeless beast in front of him, grinning, and then pulled his right arm back to remove the soul that had penetrated the beast's brain. He drew out his long sword.
Bending down, reaching out to touch the body of the giant hedgehog, and taking it into the mysterious island, Lin Li began to look for a place to have lunch.
There are no rivers or streams around the location where Lin Li is today, so he cannot camp where there is a water source at noon.
Leaving the scene of the battle and walking more than a hundred meters forward, the terrain suddenly became open.
There are fewer dense grasses as tall as a person and bushes covered with thorns. As far as the eye can see, there is only open grassland.
Lin Li looked around and decided to light a fire under a big tree not far away to cook.
Under the big tree with unknown wild fruits, many things suddenly appeared.
After Lin Li took out the camping equipment from the mysterious island, he set up the pot for cooking rice. He opened a bottle of mineral water and poured it into the pot. He grabbed a few handfuls of rice and put it in. Then, he went around to collect some dry rice. branches.
Originally, fireballs could be used to cook rice, but the rice cooked with branches is more fragrant, so fireballs were not used.
There are lush vegetation in the wilderness, and there is no shortage of dry branches. If you just look around, you can find a lot of them.
After Lin Li collected a lot of branches that were enough to make a fire for cooking, he returned to the big tree and put the dry branches into the bottom of the pot.
Mobilizing the psychic energy in Dantian, a flash of inspiration occurred in his hand, and a blazing fireball the size of a fist was immediately born out of thin air.
He threw the fireball in his hand casually, and the branches under the pot caught fire in just a few seconds.
Lin Li looked at the flames burning on the branches and felt that the water in the pot was not enough, so he added some more, covered the pot, and then waited for the rice to be cooked, then stir-fried two vegetables and cooked them. Soup, you can have a delicious lunch.

Although the hot summer is coming to an end, the scorching sun hanging in the sky is still emitting fierce sunlight, scorching everything on the earth.
The exotic animal hunters operating in the dangerous wilderness looked at the current time and began to look for a place to have lunch.
"Woo..." A large unmanned transport plane took off, took away the container containing the alien beasts, and flew quickly towards the city.
Several beast hunters looked at the unmanned transport plane flying away with smiles on their faces.
Everyone has been busy all morning today and killed an alien beast. Now the unmanned transport plane will take the alien beast away. Calculate the time and wait until the evening, and a sum of cash will arrive in the account.
"Everyone has worked hard these days. After today's work, we can have a good rest at home for a while." The captain of the alien hunter team said to his companions with a smile. "I'm starving, let's find a place to have lunch quickly!"
"After lunch, let's rest for a while. In the afternoon, everyone will work harder to see if we can hunt another strange beast."
"After so many days of work, I am really tired. In my opinion, Look, after we finish lunch, let’s finish work early in the afternoon and return to the city!”
“I agree to finish work early in the afternoon and return to the city. I’ve been very nervous these days, including the siege just now! We have harvested a lot from that strange beast in the past few days. There is no need to continue hunting in a tired state, it is too dangerous."
Members of this strange beast hunting team, what do you say? I expressed my thoughts one by one. In the end, thinking that there were more people returning to the city early, the minority obeyed the majority, and decided to set off back to the city at three o'clock in the afternoon after lunch.
"Let's go to the open area ahead and find a place to have lunch." The leader of the alien hunter team raised his hand and pointed to the flat area in front of him and said to his companions.
The view is better in an open place. In the dangerous wilderness, if you are attacked by a strange beast, you can get an early warning.
“It smells so fragrant!”
“It seems to be the aroma of scrambled eggs with leeks.”
“There is also the aroma of mushrooms and shredded pork.”
< br>The exotic beast hunters who were walking in the thick grass suddenly smelled a very familiar aroma of home-cooked food floating in the air. They involuntarily twitched their noses and sniffed hard.
Everyone was very surprised. In this dangerous wilderness, where strange animals may appear at any time, how could there be the smell of home-cooked food?
With doubts and confusion in mind, the alien hunters walked out of the grass and looked in the direction of the scent. They saw a large leafy tree not far away. Under the tree, there is a young man cooking vegetables.
“Here, what is going on?”
The members of this team of exotic beast hunters are not newcomers to the industry. Each of them has been in the industry for at least three to four years, and they are still It was the first time I met a colleague cooking in the wild.
Lin Li took out the shredded shredded mushrooms and pork that had been fried in the pot, put them on a plate, and placed them on the small table.
The two time-tested specialties of scrambled eggs with chives and shredded pork with mushrooms are ready. Next, you can simply cook tomato and egg soup, and you can have lunch.
At this time, Lin Li noticed a movement not far away. He turned his head and saw that a group of exotic beast hunters were looking at him with wide eyes and surprised expressions, as if they were looking at someone. Kind of alien.
Lin Li knew why these colleagues looked at him with such surprised expressions, and nodded to these people as a greeting.
Then he picked up a bottle of mineral water on the ground, poured some water into the cooking pot, and washed the pot. Start cooking tomato and egg soup.
"Why is he alone? Where are his teammates?" The alien hunters thought in their hearts and whispered about this person who made a fire and cooked in the wilderness, making it look like camping in the wilderness. Same peers.
"Okay, let's not keep staring at that little brother. Let's go there to have lunch and take a rest!" the leader of the alien hunter team said to his companions.
Then, he took the lead and walked to the left front of the big tree where Lin Li was. There was a large forest there, and the shade area under the tree was enough for everyone to rest.
It would take a while for the water in the pot to boil. Lin Li saw his peers resting not far from him, reaching out to pick unknown fruits from the trees to eat. He thought for a moment, I also raised my hand to pick some wild fruits from the branches of the big trees around me.
"Bah, this wild fruit is a bit sour!" Lin Li took a bite of the wild fruit picked from the tree, then spit out the pulp in his mouth and said with a frown.
He saw those colleagues eating wild fruits with gusto, and thought how delicious the wild fruits growing on the trees were! Unexpectedly, it turned out to be sour.
When hunting in the wild, exotic beast hunters carry a limited amount of drinking water in order not to affect their mobility.
Therefore, when hunting in the wild, exotic animal hunters save as much water as they can when they do not find a water source, in case something unexpected happens and they run out of water.
The wild fruits that Lin Li thought were a bit sour, in the eyes of these exotic animal hunters who were accustomed to the simple life in the wild, although the taste of the wild fruits was a bit sour, it was not difficult to swallow.
And once you get used to the acidity of this wild fruit, you will find that it tastes pretty good.
This kind of wild fruit, which is very common in the wilderness and can supplement vitamins and water, is actually quite popular with exotic animal hunters who often hunt in the wilderness.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. For Lin Li, who can use the mysterious island to store a large amount of daily necessities, it is naturally an incomprehensible experience for these colleagues who think of saving materials in the wild.
“How did that person bring so many things to this place?”
“Look, he actually brought so much mineral water with him...”
The exotic beast hunters who were eating sour wild fruits felt confused and a little envious when they saw a box of bottled mineral water next to Lin Li.
After the water in the pot is boiled, the tomato and egg soup is quickly cooked with a few operations.
When Lin Li brought the tomato and egg soup to the table, the self-heating food unpacked by the alien hunters in the distance was almost cooked.
One party ate self-heating food that was tired of eating, and the other party ate delicious home-cooked stir-fries. The difference was too obvious.
Although Lin Li's cooking skills are not very good, in this wilderness, no matter how bad his cooking skills are, the home-cooked stir-fries cooked by himself are much more delicious than those convenient self-heating foods.
"Huh..."
The breeze blew, causing the vegetation on the wilderness to sway gently.
"I see, I see, I see..."
The cries of the cicadas on the trees are intertwined with the rustling sounds of the vegetation when they are swayed by the breeze. It is actually kind of lulling people to sleep. feeling.
After lunch, Lin Li started to put away the pots and pans.
The exotic beast hunters in the shade under the woods in the distance had finished their lunch early because they ate convenient self-heating food and were resting with their backs against the big trees.
After busy washing pots and dishes for a while, Lin Li finally finished washing everything.
Just as he was about to pack the camping equipment into the mysterious island, a loud scream suddenly came from the distance.
“Kick, cluck…”
Because Lin Li had hunted many reed chickens and exotic animals, he was very familiar with this sound.
"Why do the screams of this reed, chicken, and beast sound so miserable? What happened?" Lin Li raised his head and looked in the direction where the screams came from with great confusion.
