Chapter 10: The Goblin Grocery Store

"In front of you is City B!" As soon as you enter the city, the first thing that appears in front of everyone is a bustling metropolis with high-rise buildings and a lot of people.

"Wow!" Everyone except Tsujin was attracted by the busy scene in front of them, the big city is just different!

"Gollum!" Gollum became extremely excited.

Red hair first interrupted everyone's surprised expressions, "It's so big here, how can you find it?"

"Don't worry, I remember to the east of the city, which is a little bit behind the rest of the city. Tsutsujin said as he pushed his glasses.

"...... in more than ten minutes"

"Uh...... Is that what you mean by backwardness?" At this moment, everyone stood at the entrance of a street that was far more prosperous than just now. The passing cars sped by, and the air currents picked up a few dead yellow leaves.

"Well, I didn't expect that in just a few years, the changes have already been so great! Human civilization is really terrifying. Tsutsujin said with some embarrassment.

"Then let's look around here, the grocery store may have been bulldozed. Yana spread her hands and said helplessly.

However, to everyone's surprise, this store is really easy to find.

"This ...... How tenacious this shop is. In the middle of the street, the small shop is completely embedded in a 30-storey building. On the black sign of the store, it still says 'Ghost Grocery Store' in large gold letters.

"Ice Horse, you come back first. ā€

"Yes. The Nether Ice Horse turned into a ray of red light and burrowed into the Moon's Covenant Stone.

When you enter the store, the first thing that catches your eye is several large mahogany cabinets, which are full of all kinds of monster masks, tricky props, and all kinds of evil ornaments, this shop actually sells potions to cure the curse of the ghost king, is it true? Just as everyone was full of doubts, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses, sleepy eyes, and messy hair walked out of an inconspicuous small door in the back.

"Guys, what do you want to buy?"

"This guy is a human !!"

"Boss Miki, do you remember me?" asked Tsutsujin.

"Well, I don't remember. ā€

"Well, when I came to you a few years ago, I saw a potion that cured the curse of the Ghost King, do you still have it?"

"Ahh

"I, I—" Tsukime said, although he didn't need the potion anymore, but he had to say it so in order not to reveal his previous experience.

"Oh? I'll see, huh...... It's indeed the curse of the Ghost King. Just as Miki was looking at the seal mark on Tsukime's hand, a flower cat suddenly jumped onto the counter.

"Meow~"

"Hey, Kappa, come here. Miki took Capa into his arms, grabbed the hair from its head, and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't have a solution here that can help you with the curse. ā€

"Well, that's troublesome. ā€

"Wait, don't you have any more stock here?" Yami asked hurriedly.

"Yes, we came from City C for this medicine!"

The shopkeeper spread his hands out, "Hmm...... Even if you say so, the potions that lift the curse are now sold out on the market, and I don't know when they will be available, but now, they are indeed gone. ā€

"Well... Then, we'll take our leave. Tsukime clenched his fists and turned to leave.

"Hmm. Good luck!" The shopkeeper smiled and waved at Tsukime.

"Really, run for nothing......" redhead muttered.

As soon as they left, the cat said to Miki, "Miki, why don't you sell the potion to the boy?

"Hehe, you can also see that his strength is not weak, and I feel that there seems to be something particularly powerful in the depths of his soul, just a curse of a ghost king, and he doesn't need my potion at all. ā€

"That being said, we don't seem to have much to lose by selling it to him, right?"

"Oh, it's not good to be involved with such a troublesome person, I don't have that leisure yet!"

"Really, how can I be such a lazy host. ā€

"Hmph, ungrateful, if I hadn't taken pity on you when you were homeless, picked you up, and fed you my yang energy every day, you would have starved to death on the streets!"

"Well, well, you can't say that, if you weren't protected by me, you would have been killed by the Yin Spirit a long time ago, okay? You have such a superb physique, if you are any monster, you won't be as merciful as me, and you only ask for a little bit of yang energy every day!"

"Cut, I can do it all on my own! ā€

"What are you talking about? You ungrateful person!"

"What are you talking about!

crackling, a person and a cat instantly became a ball.

Street.

"Where are we going now?" Yami asked as she walked, apparently disappointed and a little unwilling to help Tsukime find the potion.

"I'm sorry, I don't know where this potion is......" Tsukujin said guiltily.

"It's okay, Tsutsujin, you've done your best, and I really want to thank you. ā€

"No, no, no, I didn't do anything, I was protected by you all the way, and I finally found a place but I didn't have a potion yet. Tsutsumi said in disappointment.

"Tsujin. Tsukime bent down. "Don't worry, even if I can't break the curse, I'll be fine, because... I'm strong!" Tsutsutsumi looked up and saw a smile rise from the corner of Tsukime's mouth.

"Let's go back. ā€

"Good. ā€

Tsukime doesn't want to meet the Skeletron mentioned by the Ice Lord, so it's better to leave the city quickly.

"Hey, you guys, fresh faces. Then came a ghost with a pocket, his face was full of scars, and his arms were carved with various tattoos of demons and monsters, and behind him, two equally angry ghosts.

"What's wrong?"

"Of course, of course, I see that you two girls are good, and I want to invite them to have a drink with us, is that okay?"

"Bah, what a disgusting thing, I can't go with you if I die. Yana shouted.

"Hehe, little sister, you don't count what you said, just follow me. ā€

"Hey, you guy, are you treating us like air?" asked rhetorically, with red hair and green muscles.

"Why, how come, I'll take you seriously after killing you before taking them away. ā€

"Really, how did this guy who is like a human thug survive until now. ā€

"One of me is enough. As soon as the red hair rushed up, the leader grinned and pulled out a few prop-like things from his pocket.

"Not good!" Tsukime hurriedly shouted.

"Hey, stupid, fooled. ā€

Immediately, all three men threw the same prop out of their pockets at the same time.

"Hiss~"

After a flash of light, the paralyzing effect of the smoke caused everyone to faint on the ground.

"Hey, ignorant guys. The three thugs laughed.

At this moment, two skeletons appeared out of nowhere, wearing the masks of "Ghost" and "Dragon" respectively, and their appearance was also quite terrifying, except for the flesh on the part of the neck upward, the rest of the place was a blackened skeleton.

"My lord, how are we doing?" said the little thug with a courteous face.

"Well, you've done a great job, and that's your reward from that lord. With that, the skeleton wearing the "Enchantment" mask threw several of the same props in their hands.

"It's yours. With that, the two masked skeletons lifted the crowd and turned to leave.

"Uh... Can't you give us one of the women among them?" said a thug in the back, drooling.

"Hmph, this is what the Lord asked for, are you impatient to make such a request?" said the skeleton wearing the "Dragon" mask.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, two adults, the younger brother is not sensible, I hope you will forgive me. The leader rubbed his hands together gratefully and defended the two younger brothers.

"Hmph, it's better to keep their mouths in check, and next time you don't have to hold back your mouth, don't kill them. ā€

After saying that, the ghost spirit picked up everyone and disappeared in front of the little gangsters.

"Really, I finally met two such superb, hey... It's a shame. ā€

"The next time you say that, I won't be able to help you. The leader reached into his pocket and walked forward.

"Boss, boss, wait for me!"

After they left, in a corner of the roof, Capa lay there.

"They are really good enough to carry the point, and they were arrested by the Skeleton King as soon as they came to City B!"

"But," the cat smiled wickedly, "with that boy here, there should be no problem!"

"Whoosh~" Kappa turned into a shadow and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
