Chapter 67: A hungry stomach is king

"Don't worry, we'll kill the sea monster and then save Jeno."

Xingyu looked at Elise with a determined expression and said, "We will definitely save your adoptive father, Elise, don't worry." ”

"Yes, thank you."

Elise cried, took out a simple handmade shell necklace from her bosom, handed it to Xingyu, and said, "If you kill the sea monster, please put this in his stomach." ”

Xingyu took the shell necklace, it was a very simple shell necklace, it was beautiful, and it was not the kind that you could find everywhere in the sand, but the kind of shell that would be buried deep in the sand and require enough effort to find.

"What is this?"

"It's a gift from my parents, and I give them one of these necklaces every year, and they love the shell necklaces I make."

Elise smiled without the slightest sadness on her face, and looked at the shell necklace with happiness.

The five people in the room fell silent for a moment because of Elise's words, and no one said anything more. Although there was not the slightest sense of sadness from Elise's face and words, something was felt heavily in everyone's hearts.

"Then the sea monster will leave it to you, I have to go back to cook for Jeno."

Elise turned and ran, and in a moment disappeared around the corner of the alley.

"Whew, what a pathetic background."

After losing sight of Elise, Butterflies and Larry hugged each other and cried.

"I really didn't expect anyone in this era to do such a thing."

VC clenched his fist with one hand and slammed it on the table, his face was cold.

"Let's plan for tomorrow."

Xingyu's face was also obviously not good-looking, because although Elise's words were not plain, it was obvious that her parents were either eaten by the sea monster or thrown into the sea because of sacrifice. But the culprit is the "sea monster".

Everyone nodded heavily, there was no point in thinking about these things now, the most important thing now was to figure out how to organize Jeno to be sacrificed, and then kill the sea monster.

There were still two days left before the day of the sacrifice, and everyone decided to take advantage of tomorrow to learn about this empty city first, because the "emptiness" brought to them by the residents of the empty city today made several people completely unable to understand the reason. All the residents of the empty city or those near the city gate have taken refuge in various shops and homes, and none of them are willing to come out to communicate with them, and what is the reason why Ikra cannot enter the empty city, which the VC determined and later confirmed by Elise?

Everything made Xingyu feel that this empty city felt a little strange, they were called "outsiders", why did they get rotten fruit eggs thrown by the residents, there were only five of them, and there were about twenty or thirty people hiding in the houses on both sides of the street, could they not beat the few young people in front of them?

The night is deep, and the moon is high in the sky.

Eccentric, unusual. These words have been lingering in the mind of Xingyu lying on the kang for a long time.

On the second day, Xingyu and his party put on a few clothes that Elise got out of nowhere on the boat. The style of these clothes is strange, and it is also the kind that several people have never seen before, and when they are put on, it looks like a piece of cloth wrapped around the body.

After putting on these strange clothes, the crowd stuffed the original clothes into the chips.

The streets are bustling today, whether it's because no one noticed that five outsiders had mixed in with the crowd, or because this is the center of an empty city, and people come and go with a slight smile on their faces.

"Village Chief."

"Village Chief."

An old man dressed very modestly, nodded slightly to the surrounding townspeople, said hello, and strolled into a small street restaurant.

"He's supposed to be the one in charge here."

Xingyu and the others stood in front of a stall selling porcelain, fiddling with the porcelain in their hands, and whispered, "Let's go up and have a look." ”

"Yes."

Xingyu and his party followed the old man into the small restaurant, and they chose to sit in a corner of the restaurant, firstly to not attract attention, and secondly, to have a better view of the second floor, because the old man who was called the village chief went straight to the second floor.

"A couple of you want something to eat."

A young man wearing short sleeves and the same fabric as Xingyu walked over and asked.

"What do you have to eat here?" Shan Butterfly deliberately snarled her voice.

"Hehehehe." Larry tugged at the brim of the hat he was wearing on his head when he heard Butterfly's voice, chuckling softly.

"A few guests, would you like to have some bryophytes and yellow croaker mambo?" Although he was a little concerned about the dress of several people, the young man still asked with a smile. In my heart, I thought that there were more and more weirdos these years.

Xingyu and the others are dressed up, although the fabric is the same as the others, but because Elise was in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to tell them how to wear these clothes, their dressing style and the use of the fabric are completely different from others.

After kicking Larry hard with her foot under the table, Shan Butter continued to say in a rough voice, "Then let's serve it first." ”

"What else is there to come?" The young man continued to smile.

"Let's have some beef or something." Larry skimmed out.

"What, what beef." The young man asked, stretching his head and tilting his head, looking at Larry suspiciously.

"No, no, he's talking nonsense."

Seeing the young man's reaction, Shan Butterfly understood that there should be no such thing as a cow here, and glared at Larry fiercely before continuing, "Just take a few good ones up." ”

"No problem, please wait a moment." The guy didn't say anything more to them, but turned to leave and whispered something to a man at the checkout.

And the man looked at them with a frown, and his eyes were full of strangeness.

"Larry, what if they find out we're not from the empty city?" Shan glared at Larry.

Larry pouted, "It's been a long time since I've eaten something delicious." What he said just now about bryophytes and yellow croaker mambo, as soon as you hear it, you know that it will not be something delicious. ”

"I'm looking forward to it, the weirder the place, the more appetizing the things they make."

VC whispered as he looked at the old man upstairs and said nonchalantly.

The old man sat in a window position on the second floor, looking over Xingyu's desk, just in time to see his every move.

After a while, a very strong man sat down next to the old man's place, and the two seemed to be talking about something.

"Guest, your food is on the table." The young man held two large plates in both hands, one full of seaweed, and the other full of all kinds of fish. The food on the plate was clearly piled up in a mess.

Larry sighed and took the lead in picking up a large piece of fish and taking a hard bite. Regardless of thirty-seven or twenty-one, a hungry stomach is king.
