Chapter 3 The Dying Fish

The Silver Wings Treasure Thieving Group has been established for more than three years. At its highest number, there were more than twenty people, and at its lowest number, there were only four. This was when it was first created.

In the beginning, it was the leader of the bandits who committed the crime, so they escaped from Liyue Port and came to the barren mountains to become bandits. Long Knife, Hammer and Dagger are the original members of Silver Wing. The four of them grew up quickly according to the policy set by the leader of the thief: "Often rob wealth, occasionally kill people, and sometimes seek wealth and kill people."

Then they went out in full confidence, planning to fight a big wave - then they happened to encounter the Qianyan Army to suppress the bandits, and three years of hard work was wasted.

All the brothers died, were injured, and more were captured by the Qianyan Army. The four leaders of the thieves were the first to realize something was wrong, and they made a prompt decision. They quietly left the scene with some supplies and the blessings of their brothers.

Scarface was cowering, not daring to fight against the caravan guards with his brothers. Unexpectedly, it cost him his life.

When the Long Knife Bandit mentioned Scarface, the disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all. In his words, even that good-for-nothing was worthy of holding a knife? Giving him a fire stick commonly used by Qiuqiu people is considered a compliment to him.

"I really didn't expect our Silver Wings to have such a past." Chen Tianfeng said with emotion without falsehood: "Boss is indeed right, our Silver Wings and I are very destined, and now our Silver Wings need fresh blood like me. "

The Changdao Mountain Bandit glanced at Chen Tianfeng and said, "Silver Wings is not an ordinary treasure stealing group. If you want to join, you must meet the conditions. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it."

"Hey, to be honest, brother, I still have some skills."

"Knocking down a loser is not a skill." Changdao Bandit shook his head and mocked: "Any Qiuqiu man with a wooden stick can trade with him."

"It seems that I am better than the Qiuqiu people." Chen Tianfeng smiled and said as if he had no idea: "Speaking of Qiuqiu people, when I was in Liyue Port, I always heard people say that there are monsters like Qiuqiu people everywhere in the wild. , I didn’t expect that there were actually very few of them, and I didn’t even meet one along the way.”

"Some places have more, and some places have less. If there were more monsters on this road, we wouldn't choose this road." The Changdao Mountain Bandit explained casually, and looked at the distance to the convoy: "Okay , leave as soon as you finish digging the wild vegetables.”

"Right away."

Unfortunately, he didn't find what he was looking for... Chen Tianfeng felt a little regretful. He grabbed a handful of wild vegetables with fresh soil and followed the Changdao Mountain Bandits towards the convoy.

noon,

The Silver Wing Treasure Thieves randomly found a suitable place to settle down. The Hammer Bandit and the Dagger Bandit walked together into the woods a little further away. Chen Tianfeng saw that the Dagger Bandit had a cloth bag with a partition tied around his waist. Inside are glass bottles of various colors.

What exactly is Teyvat's elemental power? Water element and water, ice element and ice... can these things be considered the same thing?

What are you thinking about these useless things... Chen Tianfeng shook his head, lit a bonfire with the idiot boy, set up the stove, and made preparations for lunch.

After a while, the Hammer Bandit and the Dagger Bandit came back together, one holding two rabbits in his hand, and the other holding a dozen fungi in his arms. Rabbits are as quiet as fungi, so they probably have no regrets when they come and leave.

Chen Tianfeng and the idiot boy worked on the rabbit together, and using the existing conditions, they made a nondescript but decent-tasting mushroom soup rabbit, which greatly impressed the thief who only knew how to grill meat but was not good at it.

The scar-faced man looked at Chen Tianfeng, and then at the idiot boy. He took a sip of soup from the bowl and rolled his triangular eyes: "Hey, our quasi-cook and the real idiot have a good relationship."

The thief's head stopped drinking the soup and narrowed his eyes slightly.

If the relationship between the fool and the cook is good, then his food will not be so good.

"How could it be possible? This fool is following me around all day long. It's so annoying." Chen Tianfeng laughed and said, "If I didn't know that he was really stupid, I would have thought that this fool was trying to steal my master's skills and take my position as the cook. ”

The leader of the thief cast his eyes around Chen Tianfeng and the idiot boy, and smiled boldly: "It's simple. Just ask the idiot to stop following you for the rest of the way today. Oh, by the way, I saw that I picked a lot of wild vegetables. , brother, please stop busy."

After that, the thief leader shouted loudly without waiting for Chen Tianfeng's answer: "There is not much road left. We can reach the camp before noon tomorrow at any time. Let's take our time. Rest for an hour and then set off again!"

The bandits responded piecemeal, each drinking soup faster, intending to enjoy their rare afternoon leisure time.

After dinner, Chen Tianfeng and the idiot boy put away the pots and dishes together and rested against the cart.

There is always no shortage of lizards in the wilds of Teyvat. Chen Tianfeng tried hard to identify the species of the lizard with a broken tail in his hand. Judging from the color, it should be a red-horned lizard with small red horns on its head.

The little thing is very difficult to catch. If it hadn't treated the stupid boy like an immovable stone, Chen Tianfeng probably wouldn't have been able to catch it by its tail.

I vaguely remember that there is an introduction to this kind of lizard in the game. It seems that its tail has some special medicinal effects after being dried and ground into powder. It seems to... harden some part of the human body?

Chen Tianfeng looked strange for a moment, and then he thought that he might have remembered it wrong. After all, Genshin Impact is a twelve-plus game, and there should be no text introduction in that regard.

He hesitated for a moment, glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to what he was doing, then pinched the lizard with his right hand, used force with his left hand to open the wound on his finger, and drew two drops of blood into the lizard's mouth.

The red horned lizard was struggling, and even though its tail was broken off, it was still full of energy.

What am I thinking, how could it be possible... Chen Tianfeng felt that he was a little crazy, shook his head and smiled, and was about to throw away this poor red horned lizard.

At this moment, the red horned lizard's struggling strength decreased significantly. Its webbed claws weakly slapped Chen Tianfeng's fingers twice, and then it was silent, and there was faint white foam in its mouth.

Chen Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he quietly put away the body of the red horned lizard. Seeing that no one was paying attention here, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was beating violently.

The appearance of the withered grass was indeed related to him!

His blood was poisonous!

Is it the influence of crossing? Or is this the golden finger that he has not received for a long time?

Well, these two seem to be the same thing...

Chen Tianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his fingers rubbed subconsciously.

In any case, this is undoubtedly his biggest opportunity!

Chen Tianfeng closed his eyes, gathered the messy thoughts in his heart, and did not think about how the blood became poisonous, but instead thought about how to use this opportunity secretly.

Poison... Will poisonous snakes be killed by poisonous snakes?

Chen Tianfeng's eyes twitched, and he suddenly remembered the hot issues in the original world. He opened his eyes and looked at the wound on his left hand that was no longer bleeding with some hesitation.

It was really stupid. The toxins entered the body of the organism and were transmitted by blood. If I were also poisoned, I would have died long ago... Instead of worrying about this, it is better to think about whether the poison will become harmless because it loses its activity under high temperature... Otherwise, you can't eat sashimi...

Not everyone can accept eating raw food.

Chen Tianfeng glanced at the fire that had not been dealt with yet, and gradually had an idea in his mind.

In the evening,

A group of people came to a dilapidated small temple under the leadership of the thief leader. The clay statues enshrined in the temple had long been dilapidated and unrecognizable.

This should be the place where the Silver Wing Treasure Stealing Group often stays. When the thief leader skillfully took out a gray cloth bag from behind the statue, Chen Tianfeng was more convinced of this.

The small temple is not big, but it is enough to accommodate a few people to shelter from the wind and rain.

The Hammer Bandit tied the donkey cart and horse outside the temple, sat on the hay in the temple, and looked at Chen Tianfeng with burning eyes, almost asking directly what to eat tonight.

"Brother, when I came here, I saw a river next to it. Why don't I catch two fish and stew fish soup for the brothers?" Chen Tianfeng thought about it and smiled: "The fish in this season are the most tender and fat, and it is most suitable to make soup."

The bandit leader's eyes lit up, and he patted Chen Tianfeng's shoulder heavily: "This is good! This is good! What I like most is the fat fish in autumn! Let's go, let's go together!"

"Let you see the skills of the strongest fishing master of Silver Wing!"

The bandit leader laughed and took Chen Tianfeng's shoulder, leading him out of the small temple: "Brothers, wait for me to return with a full load!"

The long knife bandit had no expression on his face, the dagger bandit pulled the corner of his mouth, and the hammer bandit smiled foolishly. Only the scarred face responded loudly, expressing his trust in the bandit leader's fishing skills enthusiastically.

As the bandit leader and Chen Tianfeng walked away, the scarred man rolled his eyes, with a malicious smile on his face, and approached the silly boy who was huddled in the corner and muttering to himself.

The other bandits were either indifferent or looked like they were having fun.

···

···

Chen Tianfeng looked at the so-called "Silver Wing's strongest fishing expert", watching him holding a sharpened wooden stick, swinging his muscular arm down, stabbing the stick out like lightning, and when he raised it again, there was a fish pierced through.

A very powerful method... But this is not "fishing"... Chen Tianfeng grinned, took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his trouser legs and walked into the river water that barely covered his calves downstream, and took the opportunity to catch fish to throw away the poor red horned lizard.

"Hey! How many fish can you catch?"

The thief leader half-closed his eyes and stopped Chen Tianfeng: "Go to the shore! Keep an eye on my spoils, don't let them run away!"

"Okay, boss!"

Chen Tianfeng pretended that he didn't understand, and walked back to the shore carefully, wiped the water stains casually, put on shoes and socks, and sat next to several dying river fish.

He lowered his head, as if looking for something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, looking at the ants crawling on the ground beside him, and took out a small wooden stick with charred burn marks from his pocket.

"Brother, you are really childish, and you are playing with ants."

The thief leader finished "fishing" and saw Chen Tianfeng lying on the ground poking dead ants with a wooden stick. He couldn't help but sneered: "Real men should play some exciting things. When we return to the camp, I will take you to see it!"

"Then I'm looking forward to it."

Chen Tianfeng seemed to be in a good mood. He threw down the wooden stick, took the thief leader's harvest on his own initiative, and followed him back to the small temple.

When the two returned to the small temple, Chen Tianfeng put down the dying fish and stepped into the temple. He was about to ask the idiot boy to go with him to prepare dinner, but he suddenly froze in his place.

The idiot boy, who should have been hiding in the corner and whispering "I don't want to die" and "My mother-in-law is waiting for me", was now curled up in pain on the ground in front of the statue, with blood on the corners of his mouth and abdomen, and covered in dust, just like those dying fish.

Scarface jumped out, his triangular eyes full of excitement: "Boss! This idiot stole something from the car and hid it! It looks like a poisonous weed!"
