Chapter 16: Strange Beasts

This time, the two didn't have to run desperately, but walked leisurely towards the hotel where they were staying. After such www.biquge.info a short walk, it was noon. Fortunately, the two arrived before the store closed.

The two of them caught a nearby shop, sat down and shouted: "Shopkeeper, two bowls of dry cut beef noodles, put more spicy and vinegar." ”

The thin man sat down and pulled the corner of his clothes and fanned it straight: "Oops." Why didn't I feel a trace of heat this morning, why was it so hot at this time. After speaking, the thin man took off his coat: "Boss, two more bowls of mint water." ”

Here, the thin man took off his coat and left it on the table, only then did he catch a glimpse of Zhang Tian still wearing his coat, without enthusiasm, and sat expectantly waiting for the arrival of beef noodles: "Hey." Xiaotian, I said aren't you hot? ”

"Hot?" Zhang Tian looked at the thin man suspiciously, and then looked at the coat that was thrown on the table by the thin man: "It's not hot, I don't feel hot at all." Aren't you hot? ”

The thin man slapped his coat on the table: "Isn't this nonsense." It's not hot, what do I do with my coat. The thin man approached Zhang Tian, glanced up and down a few times, and was stunned that he didn't see any traces of Zhang Tian's sweating, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Zhang Tian's forehead: "Be good." Why is your body temperature so low, it is not affected by the weather at all. ”

Zhang Tian still looked at the thin man in confusion: "Is it hot this day?" ”

"Not hot?" The thin man pointed to the people around him who were still eating here, "Look at the people around you yourself, which one is wearing as many as you." ”

was reminded by the thin man, and the few remaining people around Zhang Tiancai looked at it. Indeed, these people were all wearing only a shirt and a pair of bottoms: "Hey, I just patronized and saw the boss below, and I didn't notice this." Zhang Tian touched his forehead and touched his arm: "Yes, my body temperature is very normal, and there is no increase or decrease." What's going on here? ”

"You ask me? I ask who to go, and I'm not you. The thin man replied to Zhang Tian angrily: "Your own business, think about it yourself, whether you came into contact with something or ate something when you were in the Land Temple just now." ”

"Well, that makes sense, I think about it." Zhang Tian carefully recalled that he had encountered those things in the Land Temple just now: the floor, the dust on the ground, and the small tank in the backyard of the Land Temple. Other than these three, I didn't touch anything else. None of the doors nor doorframes had been touched, nor had the pillars of the temple been touched.

After thinking about it, Zhang Tian really didn't find anything to order, so he had no choice but to shake his head: "I didn't encounter anything that made me feel uncomfortable at all, and those things were very ordinary." ”

"So what's going on?" Saying that, the thin man grabbed Zhang Tian's right hand, buckled Zhang Tian's pulse with two fingers, and took the pulse: "This, the breath in the body is not strong or weak, and it is very stable." The pulse is strong and powerful, and the body is very healthy, there is no problem! The thin man touched Zhang Tian's forehead again: "This is not a high body temperature, but it is obvious that your blood flow is very fast, otherwise the pulse will not beat so strongly." ”

Zhang Tian also touched his pulse in the same way, and touched his chest unconvinced: Why is the temperature in my chest so low, did I encounter something in the Land Temple?

I touched it a little further down and touched the chick sleeping between my outer and inner lining. Zhang Tian subconsciously grabbed the chicken, and suddenly Zhang Tian was attacked by a bone-chilling cold, and the cold spread along the whole hand to the arm, Zhang Tian couldn't stand the cold, and quickly pulled his hand out.

This hand was withdrawn, and Zhang Tiancai felt the terrible cold, and at this time, the back of Zhang Tian's hand was already covered with a thick layer of hoarfrost. Zhang Tian now feels very difficult to move his fingers.

The thin man looked at Zhang Tian's hand and was frightened: "What's the matter, how can there be such a thick frost." As he spoke, he touched Zhang Tian's hand: "Oh." It's cold. ”

Zhang Tian's hand froze like this, the thin man was worried, he was such an old man with a newcomer to do the task, and let the newcomer end up in such a situation, if he couldn't solve it, he would be embarrassed when he went back: "This hand has to be dealt with quickly, otherwise the hand may be scrapped, and it will be strange if the captain doesn't pick up a layer of skin on me at that time." When that's done, I'll go get some hot soup. Saying that, the thin man hurriedly went to the shopkeeper to ask for a bowl of hot noodle soup, put Zhang Tian's hand on the hot soup, and carefully sprinkled the hot soup on Zhang Tian's hand, while asking Zhang Tian softly: "What the hell is going on, why did you put your hand into your arms and freeze like this?" ”

Zhang Tian cautiously looked at the people around him to make sure that no one noticed the two of them, so he whispered, "Do you remember the chicken?" ”

"Is that the chick that stays in your arms all the time?"

"yes, that's it."

"How I forgot it, this series of thoughts, there is no room to think about it. It appeared on its own after a while, and I was careless. ”

Zhang Tian's eyes lit up when he heard the thin man say this: "So, do you know the situation of this chick?" ”

The thin man shook his head: "I'm not sure, but when I followed the captain to pick up tasks outside, I escorted a batch of ancient books." I saw it in a book about this chick. ”

"What does the book say?"

"As recorded above, this is an ancient beast?"

"Alien beast, why isn't it a divine beast?"

"You ask me, I ask who goes. Don't interrupt again. The thin man drank a glass of water and moistened his throat and continued: "This strange beast is not very powerful, but it is indeed one of the most tricky alien beasts. This beast is proficient in the art of confusion and also controls the elemental power of the natural species. The combat effectiveness is not good, but the escape ability is first-class, and the enemy is also very good. After saying this, the thin man poured the entire bowl of hot soup on Zhang Tian's hand, and then took out a rag from nowhere, wrapped it around Zhang Tian's hand and rubbed it.

Zhang Tian didn't react because the bowl of hot soup was splashed on his hands, but at this moment he was waiting for the thin man to continue to say the record about the chicken. But now the thin man is just rubbing his frosty hand, and he doesn't mean to continue. Zhang Tian is in a hurry, isn't this hanging my appetite, looking at my face expectantly and wanting to hear him say something about chicks. That's good, I stopped halfway through the conversation, and I didn't care about it.

Zhang Tian stretched out his intact right hand and stopped the thin man: "Brother Fan, you stop first, don't rush to get this first, and continue to talk about the strange beast first." The thin man was stunned: "What a strange beast thing." ”

"It's the chicken." Saying that, Zhang Tian straightened his stomach and gestured.

"Yo. What are the two guests talking about? "This is, the store came to Zhang Tian's table with two bowls of beef noodles.

"Nothing."

The shopkeeper put down two bowls of beef noodles, squinted and saw that the thin man was helping Zhang Tian rub his hands, and asked curiously: "Guest officer, what's wrong with your hands, isn't the bowl of hot soup I asked for just now just now?" ”

The thin man took down the rag in Zhang Tian's hand, handed it to the shopkeeper, and then picked up a bowl of beef noodles: "This is my brother, I have had a strange disease since I was a child, and there will be places that freeze inexplicably at every turn." So these things I borrowed from you just now, now it's okay, you can go about your own business. ”

The shopkeeper took the rag, but he didn't mean to leave, and sat down: "Hey." Tell me about this strange beast, I've been interested in things since I was a child, and you tell me that these two bowls of noodles are the ones I invited you. ”

Zhang Tian and the thin man would not want to share the existence of the chick with others, but this clear drive away will definitely attract dissatisfaction, for the sake of unnecessary trouble, the two made eye contact, and finally agreed to let this person here.

The two of them couldn't mention the chick in Zhang Tian's arms this time, but the chick didn't move at this time, and Zhang Tian and the thin man were just talking about it.

"Alright, shopkeeper, you can sit down and listen to it." The thin man nodded at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper happily sent another bowl of beef noodles to Zhang Tian: "Little brother, you eat slowly, I invited you to this meal." ”

Zhang Tianjiang leaned his left hand, which had not fully recovered, on the side of the bowl to keep warm, and listened to the thin man continue to talk while eating.

The thin man ate a large mouthful of noodles, and then continued: "You know what? The world we live in now is actually a long, long time ago, and it was a time called antiquity. At that time, people were actually better off than we are, and their power was much stronger than they are now. "The main thing is that all living things were super powerful at that time, and the ancestors had to try to become more powerful to prevent being exterminated by other genres."

"And what should the ancestors do if they want to survive in antiquity? In fact, like other creatures, they bully the soft and fear the hard. That is, the law of the jungle, you can only bully the weak, and in the face of the strong, you have to give in. ”

"And how could the ancestors like to succumb, the race is different, and in the end it can only invite endless killing. No matter how much they succumb, in front of those powerful creatures, it is nothing more than food for them to raise. For this reason, the ancestors hid and sacrificed every day to collect information about all the species that could slaughter pure people, their strengths and weaknesses, their living habits, and so on. ”

"In the end, the ancestors relied on this extermination to suppress those powerful creatures, and finally reached the current apex."

The shopkeeper only listened to what the thin man said about the century of the ancient ancestors, and didn't say anything about the strange beasts, so he simply urged the thin man: "I said big brother, you should talk about such a strange beast!" What's the use of just talking about this ancestor? ”

The thin man pressed his hand: "Don't worry, I'm paving the way, if you don't like it, I'll skip it directly." ”

The shopkeeper clapped his hands first: "Hop Hop, talk directly about the strange beast." ”

The thin man ate a few bites of noodles in a row: "This ancestor divided the beasts, there are strong and weak, and there are types. "For this distinction between strength and weakness, the ancestors drew five levels of Tooth Mastiff Level, Clear Shadow Level, Insight, Wisdom and the Strongest Divine Beast."

"Why is this so tangled and complicated?"

"Hey, whatever, anyway, I think those ancient beasts, put it now, can definitely sweep the current human race. How to divide it is also the classification of the ancestors of the ancients, we just need to understand. ”

"You go on to talk about the strange beasts, what are the characteristics of those strange beasts?"

"Let me start with the description, I only saw descriptions of five strange beasts in that old book." The thin man wiped the soup from his mouth and continued: "This first one is called Luo Qi. It is a strange beast similar to a pangolin, this strange beast has a super defensive ability, the strongest is his pair of front paws, the book describes, the front paws of this strange beast can easily destroy a mountain, but this strange beast only likes to hide in the cave, and the impact on humans is not very great. ”

"This second strange beast is called Hei Tu. Listening to the name, you can tell that it is not a creature, this strange beast is a peerless beast in the swamp. This beast can hide in swamps and move freely through swamps. The book says that as long as you enter the swamp and wait until you see the bones everywhere, then you will not be able to escape, and the black will already have its eyes on you. This beast also has a natural talent, which can change the color of its body, and its own aura can also be changed. This is also the characteristic that makes it a peerless beast in the swamp. ”

"Boss, come a plate of fried kidney flowers, a plate of sauce elbows, a plate of drunken flower meat, two plates of fried ouying, and finally a jar of good wine." When the thin man was happy, a group of unknown people came to the store. "Crackling" kicked the chair, lifted the table, and yelled at the store to serve the food.

The shopkeeper is listening more and more interested, how can he let go of this opportunity, and he returned without raising his head: "The stall is closed, and the dishes are all sold out." ”

"What?" Hearing this reply, the gang was immediately unhappy, and one of them slapped the table with a "snap" and shouted angrily: "Shopkeeper, don't you want to do business here, even we want to send it away casually, it seems that you are impatient." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he seemed to think of something, and sat there stunned, turning his head mechanically to the side of the guy. Seeing the faces of the gang clearly, the shopkeeper instantly collapsed to the ground. Thin Zifan and Zhang Tian hurriedly stepped forward to help the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper was pulled up by the two of them, and the shopkeeper's legs were already weak and couldn't stand straight. Zhang Tian and the two of them didn't want to make trouble here, so they patted the store: "Shopkeeper, don't hurry up and entertain them." ”

The shopkeeper nodded indistinctly: "Good, good, good." The food will come up soon, you wait a minute. With that, the store quickly stormed the store.

Zhang Tian and the thin man smiled and apologized to this group of people, but fortunately, this group of people didn't want to find trouble, so they didn't care about the two of them with disdain.

Zhang Tian and the thin man hurriedly ran away from the store.
