"Anyway, you'll have to come in to eat later." The low and gentle voice was full of magnetic properties, as if the scent of lily was sucking in the valley: "It's too hot outside, I'd better wait here."

"I'm still so lazy." Panis ignored the premise that the other party had put a lazy hat on him: "Then you can continue to enjoy the cool inside, I'll eat all the good things first."

"Well, remember to bring the rest for me after eating." The voice in the valley said lazily: "By the way, don't add too many seasonings to my portion, I also need to add wild fruits to season."

"I can't forget your taste." Panis curled his lips, chose a piece of sand with direct sunlight, squatted aside and opened his backpack, and took out a large piece of bacon wrapped in oil cloth.

In the hot desert, food preservation is a big problem. Although travelers have developed an insulated box that can isolate the temperature, and after adding ice-attribute crystals, the low temperature environment in the box can be maintained for a period of time, the desert is too hot. Even in the low temperature box, unless new crystals are frequently replaced, fresh meat and vegetables will rot in one day. Therefore, during the desert adventure, people can only choose smoked jerky and dried vegetables. In addition, the lack of water resources makes most cooking methods unusable, which makes dining a very distressing thing. However, although the taste of the food is very unpalatable, it can at least ensure balanced nutrition.

No matter how experienced Panis is, he cannot violate the laws of nature and does not have the ability to prevent food from rotting rapidly due to the hot weather. However, the ancient skills of living in the deep sand tribe in the deepest part of the desert allowed him to turn these unpalatable dried meat and vegetables into delicious food. The skills are actually nothing amazing. What he relies on is the wreckage of the cactus that Panis cut back and his speed far exceeds ordinary people.

Scrape off the spikes outside the cactus, split it longitudinally into two, then place the bacon and dried vegetables on the spreading oil cloth, and the simple preparation was easily completed. Finally, I reached out and tried the temperature of the sand. After being scalded, Panis pulled out the sharp dagger and started the cooking work. The cooking process was actually very simple, and the only requirement was to move quickly and stably.

The dagger was as fast as lightning. First cut off a piece of cacti with rough skin and picked it up. Before the skin fell to the ground, a layer of green cactus tender flesh had fallen on the skin. Following the fleshy cactus slices, it was a thin piece of bacon. A piece of cactus tender flesh was superimposed on the bacon. Each of the four pieces of food was only the size of a palm, and each piece was thin like a piece of translucent paper. When the skin of the cactus fell to the ground, the other three layers of food had been attached to it, and while it landed, Panis's other hand had already placed several pieces of dried vegetables in the middle of the food. The whole process was completed within a few seconds when the outer skin of the cactus was stagnant. It can be seen that without a quick, stable and accurate method, it was impossible to use such a method to cook.

As soon as the outer skin of the cactus fell to the ground, it made a sniff. The high-temperature sandy ground quickly introduced heat into the food like a scorching iron plate. Although the outer skin was rough and hard, it was too thin to cut, so it quickly rolled inward at high temperature. The layers of food spread on the outer skin were also thin, and it also curled due to the high temperature. Soon it formed a tight cactus roll with dried vegetables as the center. Due to the characteristics of the outer skin of the cactus, the moisture evaporated from the tender meat of the cactus cannot spread outward and can only steam inward. It quickly soaked the dry bacon and dried vegetables, becoming soft and tender. The oil in the bacon also reversely penetrated into the tender meat of the cactus, making the whole green cactus roll exuded a scent of meat.

If you peel off the outermost cactus skin at this time, you can see the inner layer of steaming hot and shiny green meat rolls, a layer of plants, a layer of bacon, a layer of plants, a layer of vegetables, everything rolled together, the aroma of vegetables and the aroma of meat, and the unique desert smell of cactus is simply the greatest temptation for travelers who can only be troubled by dried meat and dried bread that can be used as a weapon. If possible, I am afraid that any traveler who is struggling in the desert will be willing to exchange for a piece of such food at the greatest cost.

One piece, two pieces, Panis's movements continued. More than a dozen cactus rolls were completed in sequence and placed in the container. Until the end, the outer skin of the cactus brought back had been used up. Panis stopped his movements, tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly cut the remaining tender cactus meat into thick slices, wrapped the dry bread taken out of the bag, and threw it on the sand for a moment. The tender cactus meat was dry and withered, but the bread wrapped inside became soft and fragrant.

Nodding with satisfaction, Panis picked up the food, carried the water bottle containing cactus juice, and slowly walked into the valley.

The ground in the valley is also covered with yellow sand and gravel, and there are no plants. However, because the surrounding huge rocks block the direct sunlight, it makes it much cooler than outside. After enduring the torture of the heat outside, hiding into this cool valley is like walking from hell to heaven.

Not only is there no high temperature, but there is no wind. In the desert outside, there are hot winds running all year round. The high temperature wind is like the breath of a demon, burning the skin of creatures unscrupulously, taking away every drop of water from the intruder's body. In this environment, you don't even have time to sweat, because before the sweat seeps out of the pores, it has been evaporated by the hot wind and dissipated into the dry world.

However, in the valley, due to the blockage of rocks, the wind outside cannot blow in and the water inside cannot be emitted. Therefore, the small valley becomes cool and humid, like a life-saving island in the sea.

In the middle of the valley, the female elf with a green long skirt and long hair with a noble temperament like a daffodil, quietly held her chin and sat on a clean gravel. The female elf's body still emitted a faint fragrance of flowers even in the desert. Her clear emerald green pupils stared at the entrance of the valley. When Panis walked in, the elf lady bloomed a smile that was enough to make the flowers fade, and said gently: "I guess you will go here. I have been waiting for you here for several hours. You are later than I expected."
