It''s better to have two dogs than one. Although he was still in the forest and covered with leaves under his body, Zhao Mai was sleeping peacefully and sweetly. He even dreamed of his own warm home, his own comfortable and intimate mattress and soft pillow.

    When I opened my eyes, the campfire was almost extinguished, leaving only red dots. With the light of the morning wind, it was like breathing rhythmically. Not far away came the joyful cry of grain reserve. It was dragging some prey with dog meat. Zhao Mai sat up to have a look, and a smile appeared on his face. It was a tortoise the size of a washbasin. Its legs were bitten by dog meat, so it couldn''t run at all. It had to shrink its head and let dog meat drag it to the camp.

    Zhao Mai took out his dagger and ran to it. He stabbed it through the crack of the tortoise''s shell and ended the tortoise''s life. On the earth, many tortoises are protected animals, and they are gentle, do not hurt people, do not spoil things, very popular. Only in this strange world, in order to survive, Zhao Mai would kill this animal.

    The law of the jungle is not the whole world, but it does exist. The headless body of the dwarf is still on one side. He''s all naked. There''s nothing left. Only survival is the first thing. Protecting yourself is never a joke. Therefore, Zhao Mai has no psychological burden for setting up a trap to ambush the dwarf, and he has no psychological burden for the dwarf''s body to become the food of insects.

    It''s impossible for Zhao Mai, who only has a short sword and an axe, to open the tortoise''s hard shell. At least he needs a hammer and a saw. But it''s not that you can''t cook with a hard shell. At most, there will be some waste. Find enough firewood, use the shield as a shovel, dig a shallow pit larger than the tortoise, and then you can make a fire and throw the tortoise into it.

    This is equivalent to the combination of Teppanyaki and Jiaohua chicken, which is the simplest cooking method. Zhao Mai took advantage of this time to put on his armor and prepare his things according to different categories, striving to put every tool in a convenient place. Among the spoils, what Zhao Mai likes most is a ring of rope. It is light but tough. It is more than 20 meters long. Now it is hanging on his waist.

    This dwarf is not an experienced adventurer, as can be seen from what he has prepared. If they have enough money and load-bearing capacity, Zhao Mai and his friends would like to put everything in their backpacks, so as not to encounter any unsolvable problems. Dwarfs are not like this. They bring some "things" piecemeal, which can only be used to sell money, but they lack "tools".

    After finishing his equipment, Zhao Mai used his hand axe to cut a thick and long branch into a short spear. When necessary, he could also use it as a javelin to attack the enemy by throwing. After all this, the tortoise is almost baked. The original hard shell has been burnt black, and it will break into pieces with a strong knock. Zhao Mai used a branch to pull the big black thing out of the fire, then wiped the axe and cut out the opening.

    Tortoise meat is hard, but it is very fragrant. The surrounding dining environment adds a wild flavor to the dish. Zhao Mai pan sat on the ground, first sprinkled some salt, and then just as he did with roast duck, he kept slicing down the meat with an axe and putting a piece in his mouth, and then there was grain reserve and dog meat. Two dogs and one person in addition to bajizui, who did not make a sound, Meimei ate a meal.

    After eating enough dog meat, Zhao Mai was finally allowed to touch his head, but he couldn''t do it more than three times. He would still hide. Only Carl, its owner, can rub the dog''s head freely. Among the four irons in my life, I''ve been through the window together, because I''ve been trained by the Ranger Carl. It''s a bit reluctant to carry a gun together, but dog meat should also be ready to attack the dwarf. I just didn''t expect that Zhao Mai''s action was so fast that he didn''t wait for him to come out to fight. It''s absolutely OK to share the stolen goods together, and the bright jewel pendant is still under his body. Together Er Zhao Mai thought about it. Let''s forget this one.

    Recently, we always regard these animals as intelligent beings like ourselves. This trend is understandable, but it still seems strange. Zhao Mai pondered that he should enter the civilized world as soon as possible and deal with more people. Although grain reserves are loyal and lovely, they can''t change their aesthetic views, can they?

    After eating and drinking enough, it''s time to break up. The ceremony is very simple. The dog licks the reserve food, and then sniffs its ass, even if it says goodbye. With a jewel Pendant in its mouth, it entered the jungle without looking back. He raised his nose and sniffed hard in the air for a long time. Then he turned around and rubbed his feet against Zhao Mai''s calf to signal his embrace.

    Only when he was carried on his shoulder did he feel better about grain reserves, and his little tail began to swing again. Zhao Mai took it through the dense woods and returned to the shore of ash lake.

    My car is still in the original place, but the branches on it all slide to the ground for some reason. After looking around, I found that there was not even a trace of dust on the car body, not to mention soil stains. What did the angel old man say at that time, "this car is indestructible, has its own system, and is not affected by the outside world"?

    It''s not bad. It saves the trouble of cleaning up the camouflage. Zhao Mai was sitting behind the steering wheel. He was turning around in the co pilot''s seat, sniffing around. Zhao Mai stares at his dog and starts the car with a smirk. He was very happy to see the grain reserve was startled by the engine and screamed nervously.Drive all the way south along the lake bank, and you can reach neibo town according to the map. There was no road along the way, so there was a lot of trouble along the way. Hard pebbles are better to walk, as long as you are careful to avoid large stones. But many places are soft mud, even if it is not up to the level of swamp, but it is likely to trap the car, so these places must be bypassed.

    Zhao Mai often has to stop the car and cut down some shrubs with an axe to leave a path for the car. He also set aside two hours a day to collect food to ensure that he and his dog have enough food and drink in reserve. In fact, Zhao Meiting wanted to know if the water in the car''s water tank could be drunk, but he was afraid of damaging the running state of the car, so he shelved the experiment.

    Ash lake is a lake full of vitality. It is rich in fish and birds. Zhao Mai tried to spear the fish with a wooden spear, but he didn''t have much talent. He wasted a lot of energy and couldn''t catch anything. However, some bird eggs were found in the grass beside the lake, which is the best food.

    With a car, it''s much safer at night. As long as you close the car door, even if it''s broken, you can''t hurt the people and dogs sleeping inside. The car has air conditioning, music and soft seats as beds. Grain reserves like to lie on the seat of the co pilot, like a big hairy ball.

    Every day before going to bed, Zhao Mai would dig a shallow pit by the lake, bring in the river lake water, and then make a fence with sharp branches. The tip of the branch is towards the shallow pit. The fish can''t feel the danger when they come in, but they will be stabbed if they want to go out. These stabs do not scale the fish, but prevent them from leaving the shallow pit. Zhao Mai is looking for some ants, earthworms and other things as bait. When he gets up in the morning, he can find greedy and trapped fish in the puddle.

    We only need to build a dam with soil to block the outlet of the shallow pit, and then we have to salvage it. Reserve food is not picky, when eating grilled fish and cat is no different. Zhao Mai gave it as much as he could. He was very good.

    This is one of the most desirable dogs in the world.
