Chapter 57: The Unpalatable "Soup"
The group continued to walk towards the cave, and now the slope of the road was sloping, and even without Kingsley's reminder before, everyone clearly felt that they were walking down.
Kingsley took the initiative to ask, "Qi Si, what do you think?" ”
"There's a problem. Qi Si recalled the knowledge he had learned in the church before, "The surname of the blood clan just now is Gangaro, as far as I know, it is the clan that is closest to nature in the heart of all the thirteen clans of the blood clan, compared to the other twelve clans, the Gangaro family is not cruel and easy to kill, but advocates nature and loneliness, and is a group of wandering loners." ”
"It's no surprise to me that I've met the Gangero family here, and to be honest, it's a good place for them who like to live in the wilderness, and maybe her murderous intent comes from us invading her secluded territory. But the problem is that it is impossible for those who consider themselves elegant and noble blood, no matter which clan, to wear such an old dress, which is different from their usual style, and most importantly, from beginning to end, I do not see her fear of death, which is not in accordance with the instinct of a creature. ”
After the analysis, Kingsley nodded, and Qi Si continued: "Your driver named Bart is very powerful, it is difficult for conventional thermal weapons such as firearms, or even heavy machine guns to damage his muscles, right?"
Kingsley said with some pride: "Bart, a B-rank mid-strength superpower, he is not my driver, he is Louise's cousin's bodyguard. ”
Qi Si was surprised: "Is such a strong man a bodyguard for you?" ”
"Not every family member gets that kind of treatment. Kingsley explained: "Only the descendants and a few particularly important people will be equipped with a powerful superpower when they go out, Cousin Louise has been favored in the family since she was a child, so the bodyguards arranged by the family are also stronger, and now Patsy, who cares after the villa, is my personal bodyguard, only the poor C-level median, which is a whole level worse than Bart." As for the driver Bell I arranged for you, his strength is biased towards support, and although his strength is only in the lower C rank, he will play an unexpected role at certain moments. ”
Qi Si nodded in approval, whether it is a battle between ordinary people or superpowers, scouts are a valuable strategic resource, so it can also be seen that Kingsley has invested a lot of money in Qi Si's wooing.
"My cousin Louise, the most talented ice superpower in the history of the family, has now reached the level of the middle of the C rank, and if she successfully obtains the 'Cold Crystal Fragment' on this trip, she can successfully move up a small rank. ”
"As for me. Kingsley spread his hands helplessly, and said with a little sneer: "The strength of the space system is not in the scope of the family's superpower evaluation system, so I can't say that my combat effectiveness is evaluated, but it is definitely not as strong as you, the 'executioner' you killed last night, I met and could escape smoothly, but if I fought to the death, there was a high probability that I would be killed, and the best result would be the same death." ”
Qi Si nodded and said: "Space and time, this has touched the power controlled by the gods, to be honest, although I have heard of your American superpowers, I have never heard anything specific about these two abilities, you are the first one I have encountered." ”
Kingsley said modestly, "So I have a little bit of a lost privilege in the family, which is why I dared to take such a big risk to save Leon last night." ”
"The strong have the right to decide. In order to show his gratitude, Leon took his eyes off Louise and looked at Kingsley and said, "For the younger generation who may grow up to be the breadwinner of the family, proper authority is more conducive to growth." ”
Kingsley looked thoughtfully at Leon and smiled, "So I used my negligible right to place my first bet, and was favored by Lady Luck." ”
Leon sincerely wished: "I wish you so good luck all the time." ”
"Thank you. Seeing Leon re-shift his gaze to his cousin, Kingsley's inner evaluation of Leon in addition to "beyond ordinary people's physical fitness", "handsome appearance", "affection", etc., removed "brainless idiot" and added "smart man", but no matter how it changes, the two big words "color stick" are still stubbornly hanging on the top.
"Do you want to continue?" After Kingsley finished introducing the staffing, he looked at Qi Si and discussed: "Since the Sail girl just now called herself a 'dessert' without denying that she was the 'head plate', then according to the order of Western food, what we encounter next should be 'soup', and then we will also encounter 'side dishes', 'main dishes', and 'salads' or something, although it is strange, but the enemies encountered this time should not be very weak, including the girl who seemed to be easy to solve just now, but she happened to be limited by Louise's speed." ”
"Help Louise find it. Qi Si smiled: "Just express your gratitude and invite you to a full English meal." ”
Qi Si's self-confidence is of course confident, the boss in this cave Brother Hao has already explored, since there is no danger, then continue, this kind of exploration is also the first time for Qi Si, Qi Si thinks it is quite interesting.
"I'm looking forward to that. Kingsley laughed.
Qi Si invited: "Let's go, after eating the 'first plate', now let's go and drink the 'soup'." ”
Kingsley readily agreed, and expressed his expectation.
The group continued to go deeper into the cave, their faces gradually becoming a little strange.
In particular, Kingsley, who was looking forward to the "British Full Meal", really vomited at the thought of the 'soup' he promised to drink...
Louise couldn't help frowning, "The smell is getting bigger and bigger." ”
Barthes, who walked at the forefront, complained: "It doesn't look like there are vents in this kind of airtight cave, and this air volume seems to have a fixed frequency. ”
Every 4 to 5 seconds, a gust of wind blew through the cave, which was not particularly obvious when they first entered the cave, that is, the level of "cumin" that Leon said, and now it seemed that as they went deeper, the intensity of the flavor also skyrocketed, like a handful of stinky cumin sprinkled directly into the nasal cavity and sticked.
Kingsley covered his nose and hummed, "Maybe this is the fresh air system of the dark creatures, they may need different air than we do..."
Kingsley thought desperately, this 'soup' is not a septic tank that has been blown up, it is still the kind that has been stored in this mountain for thousands of years...
In such a place, even if Qi Si is now in the Jindan realm, there is no way to dispel this increasingly strong smell, no way, even if the breeze is invited, there is no place to discharge it, unless Kingsley opens a space to the outside world, and the two of them get an artificial air purifier, but this cost is a bit more than worth the loss, even if the trip is not dangerous, Qi Si feels that he can't squander his strength like this.
Leon, who was originally the most out-of-the-box, simply stopped talking when he was smoked, and even looked at Louise with a little weakness.
Bell, who was at the front of the team, suddenly stopped.
"Young master, the road ahead is blocked, and the distance is about five hundred meters. ”
The voice was a lot clearer, and the golden throat that had been in his mouth had already been spit out, and the taste that Bell was originally the most familiar and cordial with, but with the blessing of this disgusting taste, he really couldn't hold it anymore, and even because of the lozenge, the nausea seemed to be directly on the throat.
Kingsley glanced back at Qi Si, saw that the latter nodded, and hurriedly waved his hand to continue forward, not wanting to say a word.
Qi Si felt that the things blocking the road ahead should be the source of this smell, because now that smell is not just smoked nose, it is simply spicy and hurts eyes.
Louise condensed a frost mask and covered her face, although it was not very useful, but the air after cooling down, the taste was indeed a little lighter.
Five hundred meters later, the crowd struggled to the "wall" that Bell had mentioned.
"Slime?"
Qi Si took advantage of the break in the carthing's breathing and hurriedly asked.
A dark and green translucent jelly-like object, tightly blocked in front of everyone, two big eyes with large window frames looked at the visitor in front of them blankly, the open mouth under the eyes was like an open door, between breaths, like a huge bellows pulled in the cave, the translucent body would keep shaking with the breath, it was the slime nicknamed "Snot", and it was also the source of this smell in the cave.
Kingsley said with difficulty: "It should be a slime, it's the first time I've seen such a big one, what does this thing eat to grow so big, and the taste is so strong..."
Qi Si and the others were still nearly thirty meters away from the giant slime at the moment, and the creature seemed to have poor eyesight, and was trying to squirm forward, trying to see what was coming.
A buzzing voice like a stereo sounded, echoing in the cave: "Hello everyone, I'm 'Soup'. ”
It doesn't even have a name, it seems that the name 'soup' makes it particularly fond of it, and even secretes some strange green liquid that seems to invite everyone to taste it.
As the slime spoke, pale green saliva sprayed everywhere, and the smell was like a heavy punch, hitting Qi Si and the others in the nose.
How to describe it, it is like a septic tank soaked with dead rats and all kinds of garbage, sealed underground and fermented for hundreds of years, after the lid is lifted, the smell from the nasal cavity to the heavenly spirit cover, leading people straight to the sky, flying in place.
Probably the first and last time after entering this cave, Qi Si and they all stepped back...
It's just too hard to top.
"Vomit~" Kingsley thought of the hasty agreement he had made with Qi Si just now, and only felt his poor stomach twitch, a stream of sour water flooded, and he vomited all his breakfast with a wow.
The others were not much better, Bart's tough guy with strength, so strong that even the claws of the Marquis of the Blood Clan could not cause damage, and the dignified strength of the B-level master, now vomited like a weak, pitiful and helpless little girl.
Louise, who looked the most normal, froze her stomach directly with ice...
Leon, as the weakest person here, lost his eyes when he was smoked, and in a trance, he seemed to see the Buddha he had met last night.
Only Bell turned his grief and anger into motivation, and a sonic cannonball with a super high frequency whistled and rushed over.
"Bell stop!" Kingsley, who had been throwing up, was so frightened that his soul was gone...
After Qi Si saw it, he couldn't help but say a sentence that he hadn't used for a long time, "!"
The disembodied sonic cannon easily sank into the slime-like body.
There was no violent explosion, and before Bell could celebrate, he noticed that the slime's body suddenly swelled.
Bell: "???"
Five others: "!!"
Under the desperate gaze of everyone, Bell's high-frequency vibrating sonic bomb was like a plump orange thrown into the juicer...
