Someone's phone suddenly rang.
"My mine!" A monster immediately tightened the towel around his waist, and was about to go to the storage room to turn off his phone when suddenly—
The phone rang one after another.
All kinds of audio sounds chaotically, almost in no order at the same time, and the movement in the storage room suddenly became very loud.
"What's wrong?" The monsters still standing by the pool were stunned.
I always felt that there was something wrong with this. After a short pause, they immediately ran to the storage room at the fastest speed.
The calls were picked up one by one.
"You ask what I'm doing? I'm in the hot spring!"
"It's okay, I wasn't in the pool just now, I was on the shore."
"what!?"
The last monster roared in surprise.
Surprised, he seemed to have heard something unbelievable.
The expressions on the faces of the monsters next to him were similar to his. Obviously, they also heard similar sentences, or they heard a message at all.
"Suddenly all the hot springs in the city were frozen, and all the monsters who were bathing in the hot springs at that time... all froze to death inside..."
A monster hung up the phone, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said the sentence he just heard.
Except for Old Sam, Jihuan's family, and the father holding his daughter in the distance, obviously, all the monsters heard the same words.
Unlike in the west, almost all the monsters here have "family". They live together and usually tell their family when they go out, so the family naturally knows that they are going out to take a hot spring, and they are worried that they will encounter an accident. , after learning the news, their family immediately called them, which caused the scene where all the phones rang almost at the same time.
All the monsters and monsters held a mobile phone and stared blankly at the remaining monsters such as Jihuan's old Sam and other monsters by the hot spring pool. The field became silent for a while, and no one dared to move.
At this moment, A Jin suddenly moved, and took out a mobile phone from under the cloak with his fair and slender hand. He picked it up and said:
"Well, it's okay, he's okay, we're together, it's fine."
After simply ending the call, he handed the phone to Ji Huan and glanced at it: "It's Mr. Nier, he called to ask about your situation, and I answered it for you."
Before entering the bathroom, Ji Huan kept everything here with A Jin.
There was nothing wrong with Ah Jin taking his call, Ji Huan nodded and didn't say anything more.
His eyes immediately fell on the monster father who was holding his daughter dumbfounded on the ground.
What happened was so coincidental that he had to think: Just when this little monster absorbed enough "force" to transform into shape, all the hot springs in the city "died", this...
This is too coincidental, right? Or, it wasn't a coincidence at all.
"Dandan... I just went to repair the hot spring, I just want to help Grandpa Wenquan to reheat the hot spring..." Sitting in Chiu Chiu's arms, Heidan whispered, his voice was not loud, but the scene was too quiet , so quiet that his little voice was very obvious.
But the adults obviously didn't take his words to heart.
However, when Old Sam heard Black Egg's words, his serious face softened again.
He pursed his lips, as if he had made an important decision.
Then he moved.
Going to the storeroom, he gave him the dad's clothes and handed him a half-worn fur robe.
"You guys go quickly."
"Get out of here and never come back here again."
With that, he handed the robe to the father.
"This... this..." The father held his daughter in one hand, with a contradictory look on his face.
Apparently, he also hooked up what happened on the phone to his daughter.
The last bit of force that drained Old Sam's hot spring pool had already made him feel bad, but he had drained the "power" contained in the hot springs in the whole city, turning the entire Mauleni into an ice city again, and even the hot springs inside. The monsters were all frozen to death in the ice, this, this...
Just listening to it, I know that he has a big deal!
"None of you have been here today,"
"If others knew that you came here, they would say that the roof of the hot spring pavilion was broken when you came, so they didn't come in."
Old Sam's serious eyes moved across each monster's face.
The monster touched by his gaze couldn't help but nodded.
Finally, he set his eyes on the father's face: "Go quickly, take the child, leave quickly, and go home!"
Old Sam's gaze seemed to have infinite deterrence at this moment, and the father finally succumbed to his gaze, nodded, wrapped himself and his daughter in a cloak, and jumped out of the open roof.
The dad knew very well that old Sam had decided to protect himself and his daughter.
Not only him, he also decided to cover up all the monsters present!
What he can understand, all the monsters on the scene know.
"But then, what are you doing here, Old Sam?" After watching the father leave, the monster that the regular customers were more worried about became Old Sam.
When they were talking, a monster couldn't help touching the water temperature, and then there was a hint of surprise in his voice:
"Sam, the spring water here... is hot!"
"Although it's not very hot, it's definitely hotter than before!"
"The spring water is heating up!"
"How is this going?!"
Under his prompt, all the monsters discovered this!
As the monster said, Old Sam's hot spring is actually warm!
wrong!
Almost all of the calls they received before had said things like "the hot springs in the whole city have frozen over".
In this case, the coldest time before the hot spring of Old Sam was just that there was no heat, and there was no ice! Still normal temperature!
I didn't notice it before, but now I think about it, when all the hot springs are frozen, it is very strange that Old Sam's hot springs are not frozen! And now-
It's still heating up! ! !
Old Sam silently picked up the previous thermometer and put it back into the water. Under the gaze of all the monsters, the number on the thermometer began to slowly increase.
The rate of increase was slow at first, and then the rate began to increase rapidly.
When it finally reached a high temperature that a thermometer could not measure, it didn't take long for the thermometer to burst!
All the monsters were stunned when they looked at the red spring water that was bubbling like lava in front of them.
"this… "
"Could it be that the little guy who left just now is the Demon King?"
A monster blurted out.
The red color in the pool water is undoubtedly the blood of the little monster just now. In the cognition of all monsters, the hot spring is produced with the birth of the devil, which can make all the hot springs die, but can also give birth to new ones. Hot spring, this... This is not something that a Demon Lord can do
Above the water, all the monsters were stunned.
Under the water, the "stars" that Black Egg had just created were shining faintly.
In the red water, they flickered on and off, and no monster knew. In the moment just now, when the little monster took shape, the bottom of the pool water had been frozen for a period of time.
In a very short moment, the little monster was almost frozen.
However, very quickly, the "stars" left by the black eggs began to work.
In place of the black eggs that had left, they quickly returned the water temperature at the bottom of the pool to normal, and in order to combat the increasingly cold temperature, they "burned" roaringly.
After a period of tenacious confrontation, they finally defeated the external force and successfully restored the pool water to normal.
Even replying a little too far.
It is the red spring water that is boiling now.
This is a competition of "power", one comes from a monster that has developed four links and runs through all underground hot springs and wants to absorb all the remaining "power" in it, while the other comes from the black eggs left behind the "star".
No monster knows that the stars collected by Black Egg before are not only from the hot spring of Old Sam, but in the unconsciousness, the remaining force in the nearby springs is pouring towards him, and Black Egg used these "forces" to create the last one. Star".
"Stars" for Shirley.
Shirley got the "star" and successfully repaired the magic core and turned it into a monster. Some people get it and some people lose it. At the same time, the other monster who was about to absorb the remaining "power" in the spring angrily found the power he wanted to get. It's almost all gone!
In anger, he drained the last "force" from all the springs, and all the springs were frozen.
That's all that happened in just a short moment.
Old Sam didn't know it, the guests at the hot spring hall didn't know it, the little girl in the hot spring didn't know it, and Jihuan and the others didn't know it.
However, they instinctively knew that the boiling water in front of them, which looked like a new hot spring, was definitely unusual!
Jihuan couldn't see it, but other monsters, as long as they were a little more sensitive to "force", they instinctively sensed the boiling "force" in this spring!
"Need help? Down below... open a gap." Just when Old Sam didn't know what to do next, A Jin suddenly spoke up.
The pale palms made a gesture, and Old Sam nodded immediately.
The best way to deal with it now is to let the water in this spring enter the underground spring veins as soon as possible, but the spring water in front of them is too hot, and the "force" inside is full of unknowns, and they can't go down at all!
Although he didn't know what Ah Jin would do, but...
But there were no other options in sight.
Old Sam looked at Jin nervously.
Under his gaze, Ah Jin slowly opened his hand.
He only made a push motion, his footsteps didn't move, he didn't even touch any drop of the spring water!
All the monsters felt as if they had experienced a slight earthquake under their feet. After that, the spring water first sank violently, and then suddenly rose again. Due to the rapid increase, the water in the spring water sank. Red water gushed out of the spring so quickly that it covered their feet.
The monsters were surprised to find that at this moment, the spring water was only the temperature of ordinary spring water!
Although I don't know how Ah Jin did it, there is no doubt about it! He just opened up the underground spring veins completely! The spring water here flows through the underground spring veins to the surrounding spring water, and other spring water is thawed and quickly returned to balance the temperature of the spring water.
Perhaps also balances the forces in the spring.
In this way, as long as they don't say anything, it will be difficult for other monsters to detect where the incident happened.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" The series of incidents had completely surpassed Old Sam's experience. Seeing the hot spring water returning to normal, he could only look at Ah Jin gratefully.
There is no doubt that this black-haired monster that doesn't seem to have any special other than being upright is a high-level monster that he can't imagine. This big monster just soaked in his pool like an ordinary monster. This is the first time he has come here. , but he helped himself so much, old Sam didn't know how to thank him. In the end, he could only say:
"Aren't you a local monster? Please leave now!"
"When such a big incident happened, the Hot Spring Association will definitely start an investigation. The hot spring industry is the pillar industry of Murani, and they may close the city. Although I would like to continue to thank you in the future, but now..."
"I can only advise you to leave quickly with your family!"
Looking at Ah Jin, old Sam said sincerely.
Glancing at him quietly, then at the hot spring water in front of him, Ah Jin nodded.
Durham, the owner of the beverage shop, took them away from the shortcut.
As for the rest of the monsters...
After the last of the strangers left, all that was left was old Sam and his regulars.
"You... leave as soon as possible." Old Sam said to the remaining guests.
Although his place is remote and many people don't know it, it is inevitable that he will not be approached by the Hot Springs Association.
After sending off the possible "perpetrator" and the group of A Jin who had helped a lot, his biggest trouble was solved, but the broken roof was still a big problem, and he had to quickly find a way to deal with it.
Just when he thought so, one of the regular customers said loudly:
"It's not now that we're leaving, old Sam, where's your toolbox? We'll fix the roof for you and go back."
"That's right! You forgot my job? My family runs a roof repair shop. Why can't I just help you repair the roof here?"
"All come to help! Together!"
Listening to the guests saying what I said, Old Sam couldn't help laughing while pursing his lips.
