Four people wearing cloaks from the shops in the train station quickly stood under the train station sign in Lugman City.
"At 34 Tia Street, there is a restaurant called Black Arthur that does a good job of roasting meat. I remember it's near the train station." As the old monster said, he took out a tattered book from under his cloak. map out.
He handed the map directly to Jihuan.
Surrounded by Abu and Naji, Jihuan took them both to study the map together.
"Look, this sign here means the train station, which is where we are now, and then you see there is an intersection here, which is the intersection in front of us, that sign means no means of transportation, and then..." A lot of things It was actually the first time that Ji Huan knew about it, but he had high comprehension and readability, so he was sure that he was right, so he taught the two monsters next to him what he had just learned.
However, his teaching did not delay the time for the old monster to eat. Jihuan had a strong sense of direction. Following the map, they arrived at No. 34 Tia Street smoothly, but—
There is no one called Black Arthur to visit, and on this house number, there is only one bathing center called Iron Shield Lance.
Ji Huan hurriedly went to ask for directions, Abu and Naji followed him step by step. After several passersby were frightened away by Abu's fierce face, finally a big passerby accepted his directions, but the other party said that this place was here 200 years ago. There is a bathing center called Iron Shield Lance. I have never heard of Black Arthur's barbecue shop or something, but the barbecued meat sold by this bathing center is also very good.
It was only at this time that Jihuan thought that he turned to the back cover of the map and looked at the printing time: four hundred years ago.
=-=
All right.
"Go in." The old monster didn't look very surprised, and when Ji Huan returned from asking for directions, he pushed the door and entered first.
"Welcome." At the reception at the counter was a big monster dressed in cool clothes. He was almost taller than Abu, with red hair and braided braids behind his head, which looked very fancy. .
"I'm here to collect the bills, Alan, you can pay back the ten golden sticks you owe me. After so many years, you should have paid me back 100 golden sticks with interest." The old monster said just like that.
"Oh! Is that Uncle Adan? I'm Alan's son Aqing! My dad died a hundred years ago!" The tall monster with pigtails was startled at first, then saddened. He covered his face with his palms, looking uncontrollable in grief.
"Pretend what you want, don't want to pay the debt and pretend to be your son, but you actually said that you are dead, you are really good enough." The old monster said expressionlessly.
At this moment, as if to verify the old monster's guess, a big man suddenly appeared behind the screen behind the counter. He was also a big man, with red hair and braids. At first glance, it looked almost exactly the same as the monster outside. , but the folds on his face are much less.
"Dad! You don't want to curse yourself to death every three days!"
Jihuan & Abu & Naji: "… "
In short, on the first day of arriving in the unfamiliar big city, thanks to the blessing of Adam's debtor still alive, they found a place to settle smoothly without spending a penny.
They are now soaking in the big bath and eating barbecue.
Uh... Although the combination is a bit strange, it's true.
"Well, the business of the barbecue restaurant is not good. At that time, the city said that a hot spring was discovered, and it was popular to take a bath in a hot spring, so I changed the name of the shop to a bathing center." The owner named Alan who soaked in the bath with them. With a look of emotion. His son, Ah Qing, was roasting the meat with his bare back. There was no firewood. He was actually roasting the meat with his hands! There are cyan flames on his palms!
"Fortunately, Aqing and I both have this skill. Barbecue is also fine, and boiler burning is also good. Although the waste water is a little bit bad, thanks to the hot spring's hot springs, this restaurant has also survived, but it is cooked in this way. The water that comes out is just ordinary hot water, not as good as a real hot spring pool." While talking about his business experience, Alan also cared about his old partner's business: "What about you? You didn't open a testing center. Retirement?"
Adan lowered his eyes and pointed to Jihuan not far away: "This is my secretary."
"The one with the bag." He then pointed to the fine bean sprouts Naji.
"The thug." This refers to Abu.
After speaking, the old monster continued to close his eyes and rest.
Alan looked envious: "It's not bad! These are all three employees! You've made a fortune, Dan!"
The old monster snorted calmly.
Jihuan: "… "
The barbecue here is delicious, but what really makes Abu and Naji happy is the hot water here! Anyone who has lived in Yefal knows that the most expensive thing there is water resources. I haven’t taken a bath since I was born. Today, I can get a chance to take a bath with the old monster. It’s really—
The two monsters are so happy!
But probably since he was born, he never took a bath, and the two monsters didn't even know how to take a bath, so Ji Huan had no choice but to guide. Shampoo for shampooing hair, soap for body washing, and how to use the bath towel…
By the time the two of them finished taking a bath, the ground was already a puddle of mud.
Ji Huan took a mop and put the pile of mud together.
"It would be nice if Xiao Hui was here." Abu sighed while soaking in the soup pool.
Jihuan was silent.
Looking out through the glass, they realized that it was already night, but unlike most of Yefar, the night here was magical. The lights of various colors are lit together, and there are splendid lighting effects. People come and go on the street, which is even more lively than during the day!
Ji Huan saw the most dazzling building not far away. Just when he was wondering where it was, a line of words was suddenly spelled out with lights on the building:
"Welcome to the Saroye Arena!"
The black-haired young man was stunned, and then he realized that there was the name of the fighting arena that Abu had signed before.
Ji Huan stood up from the water.
—
The little gray devil jumped out of the water.
He didn't come out by himself, his thin body crouched on top of the head of a gray-black monster, and he tightly hugged the mouth of the monster with both hands.
The sharp claws sneaked firmly into the gills of the beast, and the little gray devil suddenly unleashed all his strength at the moment when the beast jumped out of the water, and he slammed the beast on the ground beside the pool. The monster who left the water instinctively wanted to turn over and go back into the water, but the little gray devil refused. Like a small cannonball, he fell from the sky, and his left hand became a claw and grabbed the monster below, just as the monster opened blood. When Pen Dakou wanted to deter him, the little gray devil's claws pierced deeply into its throat with the posture of the beast opening its mouth, and pierced into—
Then drag out-
The thin gray monster dragged a bloody thing out of the beast's throat.
The beast let out a huge scream.
Take advantage of his illness to kill him!
a bit!
again!
The little gray devil used his claws to cut two deep holes on the beast's body covered with hard scales, and the beast finally stopped moving.
At this time, the gray monster was no longer gray, and the whole body was covered with flesh and blood, and he became a little red monster.
Even if Jihuan was here, he might not be able to recognize at a glance that this was the little gray devil he was looking for.
There is no change in body and appearance, just those eyes...
There was no light in those big gray-black eyes, as if he had just jumped out of the water.
The monster in the water was completely dead. It wasn't until this time that he coughed and stretched out his paws. He pressed his stomach hard, and a mouthful of turbid water sprayed out from his abdominal cavity and nostrils, wiped his nose, and the little monster coughed again.
He was trying to spit out the water he choked.
As a native Yefaer monster, it is usually difficult to even drink water, so of course the little gray devil can't swim.
The little gray devil who couldn't swim was thrown into this pool a day ago.
Before he could get used to the terrifying feeling of being submerged in icy liquid, another familiar scalp tingling sensation suddenly came from the deep water below him.
In the water - there are monsters!
It was the monster he just killed.
Before being killed by him, he had been struggling in the water, and the monster was chasing and attacking him all the time! When the power gradually moved away from him, the little monster thought: Water, it turns out to be such a terrible thing.
No wonder Yefar has no water.
But water is so fun in Jihuan's mouth.
Hot water is a hot spring;
Less icy water can be a small stream, a little more can be a small river, the fixed water is the lake, and the magnificent and salty water is the sea.
At the last moment of his life, the little monster thought of Jihuan, the fish that Jihuan said was delicious.
He thought of every expression Jihuan made at that time, every word he said at that time.
Ji Huan said: Fish can't live without water—
I don't know where the last strength came from, the little gray devil stretched out his claws and firmly bound the mouth of the water monster!
Forcing the opponent out of the water, the moment the opponent jumped out of the water—
He threw the monster to the shore!
The beast died, he survived.
After spitting out the last mouthful of dirty water, the little monster greedily took a few mouthfuls of the moist air beside the water, and then his stomach rumbled.
Turning around, he saw a huge beast that was dying behind him.
After walking around the beast a few times, he quickly found the relatively softest abdomen on the opponent's body, and he cut open the opponent's stomach with his claws.
A wet mass slipped out of the belly of the beast.
It was a little monster about the same size as him, and it was already… almost digested, and the expression on its face was indistinguishable.
After sniffing, the little gray devil used his claws to cut a piece of meat from the back of the beast and ate it.
Completely different from the delicate and delicious taste described by Jihuan, the meat of this monster is full of fishy smell, firm, and tastes like a stone.
Not tasty at all.
However, the little gray devil still ate the piece of meat. After eating one piece, he ate another piece.
Then, letting the corpse of the demon beast lie there, finding a corner, he hugged his knees and nestled there.
As the night became darker and darker, a small group of monsters nested there, gradually merging with the darkness.
He wants to live.
He wants to live.
He still has to survive to earn money to buy gifts for Jihuan back home.
Grandpa also has gifts, as well as black eggs.
He tried to make himself think of the good things.
Feeling the wet scarf around his neck, the little gray devil's gray-black eyes gleamed quietly in the dark night.
