Li Wenli didn’t need to lift a finger to deal with the man-eating eagle’s feathers -- he had already scalded the meat. Then, with a slap, he dropped the man-eating eagle into a wooden barrel that Bai Junjun had prepared.
Bai Junjun couldn’t help but sigh, "With that ability of yours, you could even do alchemy."
Li Wenli laughed outright, "Elixirs are nothing but scams. If you really want to pursue immortality, all you need is your Water of Flora!"
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and began gutting the three-quarters-cooked man-eating eagle, removing its innards, and then scalded it another time.
Once all this was done, Li Wenli placed the ingredients into a large pot filled with cooking salt.
There were also three man-eating eagle eggs in the stove, all covered with cooking salt.
Bai Junjun hadn’t expected Li Wenli to praise her Water of Flora so highly.
She thought that a genius Special Ability User like the Fox wouldn’t care for her single-series ability.
After all, in The Apocalypse, there were countless users with dual-series and triple-series Special Abilities.
The Fox was the one who held five major Special Abilities, becoming the top-ranked person in Combat Power in The Apocalypse.
She barely made it to the fourth place, along with the Polar Bear.
Li Wenli couldn’t help shaking his head, "Believe me, there are plenty of people in this world who would want your ability. But now you’re my... ally, so you can’t switch sides, okay?"
Li Wenli deliberately paused when he said this, and Bai Junjun was taken aback before giving him a scornful look.
"Don’t pause like that, it’s greasy."
"..." Li Wenli was left speechless, what was wrong with him?
Bai Junjun didn’t pay any more attention to the Fox; she controlled her Special Ability to make the wooden pot secrete a fire-resistant glue and then coated the outside with a thick layer of wet mud to prevent Li Wenli from burning up the pot when starting the fire.
Li Wenli crouched nearby and watched until she finished, before activating his Fire-series Ability to continue salt-baking the eagle.
This was also the first time he had used it since obtaining the Fire Spirit.
The Fire-series Ability was different from other abilities: it needed to be used more often in order to level up.
This wasn’t The Apocalypse; there was no fighting with fire here, so the only way to improve was to rely on being a cook.
Bai Junjun even teased him, saying he was more suited to be a camp cook, which made Li Wenli roll his eyes in annoyance.
While the two of them cooked with their Special Abilities, Bai Sasa was leading the three boys in doing physical work at the Tube-shaped Building.
By noon, they had finally cleared all the bodies from the Tube-shaped Building to the graveyard.
The group even solemnly picked some pretty wild grasses and made bouquets, placing one on each grave.
It made the empty graves seem a bit less lonely.
After all was done, the four of them were so smelly and filthy they were hardly presentable.
The Fool took them to the pond to bathe.
Bai Sasa hesitated for a moment, after all, her eldest sister had instructed them not to run off carelessly.
"Don’t worry, the pond is not far away," the Fool assured multiple times, and only then did Bai Sasa follow him.
However, upon arriving at the pond, they happened to see both Bai Junjun and Li Wenli there.
Before them stood a huge mud stove, as large as a bathtub; it was unclear what they were cooking, as thick smoke kept billowing around the stove at that moment.
The kids hopped over, their little legs carrying them quickly, their faces full of excitement and expectation.
"Elder sister, Brother Wenli, what are you guys making?"
"Are you cooking something delicious?"
Bai Junjun was earnestly looking through a book Li Wenli had given her when she heard the noise and turned to see several dirty kids running toward her.
Bai Junjun put the book away in a cloth bag and gave them a serious look. When she noticed that there were a few Corpse Insects sticking to the Fool, her eyebrows twitched.
"We’ve finished our task, and Fool Brother said he’d bring us here to wash. We didn’t expect to see you right as we arrived."
