2023 Roasted Dragon (1)
When they saw Tang Zhen and the rest return, but the dwarf was dragging a huge monster, the people waiting outside had faces full of shock.
...
Tang Zhen, who had walked on the road, turned his head and looked at the forest by the side of the road. His eyes revealed a pondering expression.
This road did have a special function. It could prevent monsters from approaching and protect the pedestrians on the road.
He just didnât know if it would still be the same when night fell. If it couldnât, how would he defend himself?
There was no clue at all, not even the shadow of the high-class streets, so he needed to continue observing.
At this time, the dwarf had already dragged the Dragonâs corpse to the middle of the road and circled it twice, as if looking for a place to eat it.
It would take a lot of time to swallow such a giant creature, even for a puppet.
since your physical puppet is injured and needs food to recover, letâs rest for a while. You can go and deal with the food.
Tang Zhen thought for a moment before ordering the dwarf.
The scene that he had seen in the forest earlier allowed Tang Zhen to have a more specific understanding of this place. He discovered that if one were to just look at the scenery, this place was not much different from the normal world.
However, the monsters hidden in the forest were indeed very fierce. If a desperer entered it alone, there was an 80 to 90 percent chance that he would lose his life.
After hearing Tang Zhenâs words, the dwarf let out a mischievous laugh. At the same time, he bowed and thanked him.
Originally, he had been worried that it would delay the time of the journey and had wondered if he should eat it raw.
However, after obtaining Tang Zhenâs permission, he had more than enough time. Naturally, he had to properly brew it.
Compared to devouring raw meat, the taste of roasted meat was undoubtedly better, and dwarves naturally preferred the latter.
After looking around, the dwarf walked to the side of the road with his saber and hacked at a dead tree.
The withered tree was two meters in diameter and looked like a ferocious ghost. However, under the dwarfâs hacking, it was cut down in no time.
The dwarves were in charge of chopping wood and putting them in the trees, while the other desperators were in charge of collecting the broken wood and piling them around the Dragon-shaped creatureâs body.
After cutting down three dead trees, the dwarf finally stopped. He nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Dragon-shaped creature that was surrounded by wood.
âIf you use fire on me again, Iâm going to burn you too and eat you!â
When the dwarf spoke, he gritted his teeth. At the same time, he reached out to touch the flesh of the physical puppet and found that many places had been damaged and fallen off.
After discovering this, the dwarf felt even more heartache, and his eyes flickered with an ominous glint as he looked at the Dragon-shaped creatureâs corpse.
Soon, the flames burned, and the Dragon-shaped creatureâs corpse was wrapped in flames, gradually emitting a burnt smell.
However, compared to the dwarves, Dragon-shaped creatures seemed to have a higher resistance to fire. Even if their scales were burned red, there were no signs of char.
The dwarf kept observing the fire and instructed despair to bring over firewood and throw it into the fire.
âHurry up, add some more firewood, itâs almost done!â
The dwarfâs voice carried a hint of excitement. The smell of roasted beast meat was simply too fragrant.
The other despaired people responded enthusiastically. They were also attracted by the fragrance and couldnât wait to take a bite.
Just as they were busy, a group of people suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
These people were wearing all kinds of armors and carrying some light and some heavy weapons on their backs. They were advancing along the road with vigilant expressions.
When they saw the pillar of smoke, their expressions changed and they quickly rushed over.
âDamn it, what are you guys doing?â
Seeing the Dragon-shaped creature being roasted by the flames, these people were shocked and shouted at the same time.
The sudden appearance of the strangers immediately alerted the despaired people. They quickly took out their weapons and confronted the strangers.
The expressions of those people became solemn when they saw the unified weapons and equipment of the desperators. They began to secretly guess the background of Tang Zhen and the others.
A burly man wearing a horned helmet asked, â âWho are you? why are you here? do you know the consequences of lighting a fire?â
Upon hearing the other partyâs interrogation, Tang Zhen waved his hand to signal for everyone to calm down. He then asked,âWho are you? why canât we appear here? what are the consequences of starting a fire?â
Seeing that Tang Zhen seemed to be the leader, the brawny man wearing the horned helmet roared,âThere are monsters everywhere. Arenât you afraid that the monsters will eat you if you randomly light a fire here?
Even if the monsters donât come, the soldiers will see them. If they surround and annihilate you, it will be useless no matter how many of you there are!â
âYou mean this monster? if so, I can only say it tastes good!â
The dwarfâs loud laughter could be heard. He then waved his giant battle sword and directly cut off a large piece of roasted meat from the Dragon-shaped creatureâs corpse.
It opened its bloody mouth and bit down ruthlessly, then let out a happy moan.
âHahaha, the taste is simply amazing!â
Looking at the dwarf gobbling down the food, the other despaired people also gathered around the fire, picked up their battle swords, and cut a piece, eating it with a fragrant smell.
Seeing this, the horned helmet and his men were speechless.
The smell of barbecued meat filled the air and could be smelled from far away. They had long been famished and wished they could also eat without restraint.
However, this roasted meat did not belong to them. Moreover, with the number of people and weapons that Tang Zhenâs group possessed, it was impossible for them to snatch it.
if you havenât eaten yet, come and eat with us. Thereâs plenty of roasted meat anyway!
Tang Zhen sent an invitation to the horned helmetâs group. He had previously discovered that this group of people were covered in sweat and dust. It was obvious that they had walked for a long time.
âThank you for our Yingluo, Yingluo!â
When the horned helmet heard Tang Zhenâs invitation, he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Even if he didnât agree, his brothers wouldnât do it.
At this moment, their eyes were all glowing with green light as they stared at the huge, fragrant roasted Dragon. They could not help but drool.
After the horned helmet man accepted the invitation, his brother immediately rushed over impatiently and shouted excitedly, â âFriend, give me a piece. Remember to make it big. If itâs too small, it wonât be enough for me!â
The dwarf laughed out loud when he heard this. He waved his battle sword and chopped off a large piece of meat, smashing it towards the horned helmetâs group.
The few big men were smashed to the ground by the roasted meat, but there was no shame or anger on their faces. Instead, they laughed out loud.
Lying on the ground, he didnât even get up. Instead, he opened his mouth and started eating. As he ate, he shouted, â great!
Seeing this, the despaired people around them laughed and gradually relaxed their vigilance.
âDo you want to drink some wine?â
Tang Zhen lifted a wine jar and asked the horned helmet. After seeing the other party nod his head, he threw the wine jar to him.
The horned helmet lifted his head and gulped down a mouthful of wine. After praising the good wine, he repeatedly thanked Tang Zhen.
you came from the other side. Can you tell me how far we have to go before we reach the city? â
Hearing Tang Zhenâs question, the horned helmet wiped the wine on his beard and said with a certain tone,âItâs not far, just a few dozen li, but do you really want to go there?â
âWhy not?â Tang Zhen asked.
The horned helmet said in a matter-of-fact tone: you have to spend money on everything in the city. Otherwise, you wonât be able to survive at all. Isnât it more comfortable to be a refugee like you are now, free and unrestrained? â
âAre there no dangers in the wilderness? if itâs really that good, you guys wouldnât be in such a sorry state, right?â
Hearing Tang Zhenâs words, the horned helmet let out a âheheâ and used a rough tone to say,âEven if I have to fight the monsters at night and avoid the soldiers âpursuit during the day, I will never return to the city.
Just thinking about dealing with those demon residents makes my head hurt. I canât wait to hide as far away as possible!â
âDemon residents? What exactly happened? can you tell me in detail?â
Tang Zhenâs face was filled with curiosity as he asked the horned helmet. However, his eyes were a little grave.
