【002】《Big Eater》

As the four of them looked down around the well, several insect people appeared outside the town.

Finding the town in ruins, they shook their tentacles before they stepped into the town.

At the same time, Xiao decided to go into the well to find out the situation, and Suo grabbed the corner of his clothes, saying that he would follow everything, and finally Xiao reluctantly surrendered.

The two slowly slid down the well rope, while Xiao Ming and another teenager stayed on the well and waited.

Half a minute later, the two fell into the well water, and then found that the well water turned out to be a thin water curtain, and there was still a space under the water curtain.

"There is such a treasure!" Xiao said in his heart.

And Suo looked around in amazement, and found that there were a large number of strange patterns on the wall of the well, and she couldn't help but say: "Brother Xiao, look at these patterns, it's so strange." ”

Only then did he notice the pattern on the wall of the well, but he looked closely but did not realize it.

"These are probably ancient texts. He guessed.

Suo was a little tired, and it hurt to hold the rope in his hand, so he said, "Brother Xiao, how long will it take to go down to the bottom of the well?"

"I'll see. Xiao also realized that for a girl like Suo, it was not easy to slide down the well rope, and immediately responded.

He looked down and found that the well water below was constantly rotating and emitting a faint light, and the whirlpool water conservancy even had starlight twinkling.

"I'm afraid it will take a little time, if you really feel tired, you might as well step on my shoulder and rest. He spoke.

Su shook his head and said, "I can still hold on." ”

Both of them then focused on sliding down, no longer paying attention to the walls around them.

On the well, Xiao Ming was waiting with another teenager, and Xiao Ming said, "The time is a little wrong, does it take so long to go down to the bottom of the well?"

Without waiting for the young man to answer, suddenly Xiao Ming saw a worm man walking in the corner not far away.

His whole body tensed suddenly, and he just wanted to signal the young man to jump into the well water first, but found that the young man's throat had been pierced by a poisonous needle like a scorpion's tail.

"Ahhhhh!!hh

Xiao Ming looked at the insect man who didn't know when appeared behind the young man, and immediately raised the hammer and screamed in horror, and finally the hammer fell into the well as soon as it was loosened, and he was choked off by the insect man's neck with one hand.

After dealing with the two teenagers, the insect man walked to the well and looked down, but found that the well water was not abnormal, so he dragged the two corpses and turned around.

Downhole.

Xiao and Su continued to slide down, and suddenly there was a knocking sound from above, and the two of them looked up at the same time, but the scenery they saw was completely different.

"Ah, watch out for the hammer!" immediately reminded Sa.

Xiao blushed a little and lowered his head, Xiao Ming's hammer fell from beside him, just as he could see the style of the hammer clearly.

His face changed suddenly, and he said, "That's Xiao Ming's hammer!"

"Xiao Ming's hammer!" Suo also changed his face and realized something.

The son of Hanks, a blacksmith, he always wanted to have a hammer of his own, and Hanks gave him a hammer of his own on the day he became an adult, and began to teach him how to build tools.

The hammer is Xiao Ming's treasure, and it is absolutely impossible to fall into the well by mistake, which means that Xiao Ming is passing on a message to them.

As for what information was enough for Xiao Ming to throw his beloved hammer into the well, both Xiao and Su thought of it.

Suo lowered his head and sobbed quietly, clenched his teeth, and resisted the urge to climb up to determine Xiao Ming's life and death, and only after a while did he speak: "Let's continue to go down, even if we go up now, we can't do anything." ”

Regardless of whether Xiao Ming has an accident or not, they will be sent to death when they go up.

Therefore, the most correct thing for them to do now should be to go down and find the treasure buried in Suo's house.

Next, the two of them sped up and slid down, and finally fell to the surface of the water after a few minutes, and the owl carefully touched the well water, and found that there were no other problems, so they slowly fell into the water, and then fell into the water as well.

The two of them swam in the water, first looking for a mechanism, and then diving headlong into the water, but finding nothing out of the ordinary.

He emerged from the water, inhaled heavily, and after a while said, "There is no way under the water." ”

"There's no mechanism here. Su said with a frown.

Xiao thought for a moment and guessed, "Could it be that the pattern on the wall of the well is actually a treasure?"

"Treasure maps, maybe those patterns are actually treasure maps!" said on a whim.

Xiao nodded and agreed: "It's possible, I'll go up and take a good look, you can tie a knot with a well rope, step on the knot and wait for me, don't soak in the water for too long." ”

"Well, Brother Xiao, go quickly. Su nodded.

Xiao immediately grabbed the well rope and gritted his teeth to climb up, it was much more difficult to climb up than down, and he was now wet, and his importance had increased a lot, if he hadn't done a lot of physical work since he was a child, he would probably not be able to climb up.

As he climbed, he observed the walls around him, each of which had a different pattern and was so strangely twisted that no matter how much he guessed, it was difficult to determine the true meaning.

Panting breathlessly, he climbed up to the place where the pattern had first appeared, closing his eyes and recalling what he saw, trying to find a clue.

But in the end, he opened his eyes helplessly, looked up to the sky and let out a sigh, completely clueless.

Who can tell him what the octopus-like pattern is, and what the one-eyed tiger-like pattern means?

It can't be an octopus, it's the meaning of a one-eyed tiger!

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, the owl opened his eyes and looked at the pattern, and couldn't help but swing the well rope hard, and when he approached the wall of the well, he reached out and pressed it on the octopus pattern, and a large amount of information entered his mind in an instant.

The octopus does not refer to a single type of octopus, but includes all the octopuses in the heavenly world, whether it is an ordinary octopus or a Cthulhu with only an octopus head, the cooking method is all engraved into the head of the owl, he almost exploded his head, and finally screamed in pain, and his hands fell down from the top as soon as he let go.

When she saw the owl falling, she wanted to reach out to catch it, but she didn't see the location, and the owl fell from her hand and fell into the well with a pop.

"Brother Xiao!" she quickly shouted anxiously, and at the same time jumped into the water, quickly swam to the side of the sinking Xiaoxiao, and pulled the Xiaoxiao net to swim upstream.

The two emerged from the water, but the owl had fallen into a coma.

Holding the owl's armpits, her legs kept kicking the water, struggling to maintain her posture while constantly calling the owl's name.

After about a minute, he woke up faintly, feeling as if he had exploded once, but he didn't know why he didn't die, but felt as if he was much more awake.

"There are so many kinds of octopuses in the world!" he was stunned, and finally let out a sigh.

He has lived for more than ten years, and all his memories add up to probably not as many as the name of an octopus, which is also too exaggerated, and can a strange creature like Cthulhu really be eaten?

But he also discovered the secrets of those patterns, he knew all the cooking methods of the octopus, knew the weaknesses of all the octopus, knew where to cut the knife without damaging the taste of the octopus, and knew that there were countless spices that would make the octopus extremely delicious when paired with it.

"Brother Xiao, are you alright?" asked Suo.

The owl shook his head and said, "I'm fine, but you must not touch those patterns." ”

Although he didn't know why he didn't die, he knew very well how dangerous these patterns were, and the feeling of his head exploding just now couldn't be an illusion.

Although it is true that he is not dead, he is not sure that he will die if he touches it.

"Well, then I won't touch it, and you won't touch it either, what if something happens. Su nodded obediently, and at the same time looked at Xiao worriedly.

The owl shook his head and said, "No, I have to know about them, although they are dangerous, there may be a way to deal with those bugmen. ”

After all, he already knew all the ways to deal with octopuses, and if those worms could also cook into food, they might not be here.

After feeling a lot better, he simply tied himself to the well rope with his belt, and when he climbed to the previous position and fixed it, he shook the well rope again and touched a pattern.

Sure enough, the next moment, that feeling came again.

It's as if someone knocked open their own brains and threw a cannonball, no, a grenade into their head and covered their heads.

Rumble!

Brain explosion!

The owl's body convulsed violently, and finally passed out.

When Suo saw this scene, she was very worried, but she couldn't do anything, she could only look at the owl with her eyes blank.

Good for a while.

The owl woke up, and when it was almost over, it touched a pattern again.

Gradually, as night fell, Suo stepped on the knot tied by the well rope with one foot, hugged the well rope tightly with both hands, and was already dozing off tiredly.

And the owl above is still insisting, he keeps touching the pattern, constantly waking up from a coma, repeating again and again, gritting his teeth even if it is painful.

He needed this knowledge, and he believed that there was a way to deal with the insects.

Even if there is no information about the insect in these patterns, he can be sure that these patterns can help him, because the cooking methods introduced by these patterns are of great help to the human body, and the cooked dishes can even make people master superpowers beyond imagination.

The moon rises from the sky and finally sinks slowly into the horizon.

The owl fell tiredly, glanced at the sleeping one, and then reached out to touch a pattern.

Suddenly, his spirit shook violently, and his whole body became refreshed, and the fatigue of the night disappeared, and he found that this pattern seemed to be the general outline of all patterns.

It turned out that these patterns turned out to be a cookbook, which was called "The Great Eat".

Suo's ancestors once worked as chefs for an incredible being, but because they were tired of being alive, they decided to return to their hometown and start their own lives, and then grow old and die like normal people.

So before parting, the incredible being gave him this magical cookbook.

It's a pity that he found that his descendants are not the kind of people who particularly love cooking, and can only barely inherit a trace of his cooking skills, so he stored "The Great Eating Yijing" in three places, and this well is part of it.
