Chapter 158: The Sea Serpent and the Bear
A sea snake and the giant bear held each other, and suddenly he glared at the giant bear fiercely, and all the halflings could clearly see that all the hairs on the giant bear's body stood up and down at this moment. [Full text reading. Even though it was still whispering at the sea serpent, it was clear that there was more fear than threat in the roar.
The sea serpent standing there was a cut above the giant bear, and of course, if the giant bear stood up, they would be evenly matched. It's a terrifying thing, beasts are very different after all, imagine how you would feel if a big dog with its head on your chest and you looked at it? I was fortunate enough to buy two catties of pork ribs in the vegetable market, and on the way home, I met such a big dog, and when I looked at its drooping harazi and the pair of eyes that stared at me for good ribs, to be honest, I had a feeling of fluttering......
Afterward?
Afterward...... Later, I stroked its furry head with a smile on my face, gritted my teeth and sent the ribs in my hand to its mouth......
No way, you can play heroes in front of your kind and play big cards. But in front of a beast, I advise you not to do that, the beasts don't know if you have a lot of money, black and white, powerful, and have nicknames like the school bully. Don't think they don't, the dog I met has a well-known nickname, plus a vegetable market tyrant!
Man's fear of wild beasts seems to have come with the body...... This goes back millions of years, when our ancestors lived in fear of living in trees and did not want to come down to face the beasts on the ground. Later, they went down to live in the tree in desperation, and took refuge in the cave......
……
There are exceptions, and the sea serpent can be considered an exception within an exception.
Sometimes I wonder if his ancestors didn't evolve from monkeys, but from dinosaurs, or carnivorous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex...... Well, it must be, right now he is facing a giant bear that is enough to make ordinary people face to face and absolutely burst into tears, but he can't hide his excitement, his eyes radiate a murderous aura like a hungry wolf encountering a little white rabbit, the giant bear is really like a little white rabbit, and slowly retreats backwards.
As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry.
In the confrontation between the two sides, the giant bear finally couldn't bear it anymore, and it was a death horizontal, so it was better to simply go out and fight. With this in mind, it opened its mouth and pounced on the sea serpent.
At the moment when the giant bear jumped up and pounced on the sea serpent, the sea snake suddenly opened its mouth and burst out with a roar wilder than the beast: "! ”
Yes? He plagiarized my lines? I said to the wheat field dissatisfied. But now I was looking blankly at me, and the expressions of the halflings were also dazed, and I myself was at a loss...... I couldn't hear myself, and we were temporarily deaf from the sound of the sea serpent......
If you are not mistaken, the sound of the sea snake is the roar of the legendary dragon king. Next, we seem to be watching a silent movie from hundreds of years ago......
The giant bear had just jumped up and wanted to bite the sea snake, but the sea snake roared and turned 48o degrees from mid-air and fell down, rolling to the ground, and when it struggled to get up from the ground, the expression on its face was as confused as the halfling people around it. It was facing the sea serpent with its buttocks, its face growling to the other side, its eyes fixed on a rock.
The sea snake sneered and raised its right foot in a graceful posture and kicked the bear in the ass, and the bear was kicked and rolled forward beautifully, hitting its head against the rock in front of it and sitting on the ground. It was then that it realized that it had just aimed at the wrong target, and then the pain in his hip made him jump with a "whoosh", and at that moment, I began to suspect that its ancestors were from Australia......
When the giant bear adjusted its posture to face the sea serpent again, its eyes were more helpless and desperate. Don't ask me how I figured it out, almost all of the protagonists have this special ability to see the inner activities of their opponents at a glance......
Next, the sea snake behaves like a wild little boy dealing with a stuffed toy that he dislikes so much. He rolled over and rode on the bear's body, grabbed its ears, and the bear spread its legs and ran obediently. At the moment, if you can be the mount of the sea serpent, it will undoubtedly be the best outcome. But the sea serpent was clearly not satisfied with the clumsy beast's progress, and after knocking the bear unconscious with a single punch, he grabbed its hind legs and threw it high into the air.
The heads of the people around us were raised and lowered, watching the giant bear being thrown into the sky again and again, and falling down again and again, smashing dust everywhere......
Probably the sea snake is tired of playing, probably the sea snake remembered that this is in the game, and it can't kill the giant bear if you fall like this. Feeling bored, he pulled out a great sword, which was more like a dagger in his hand, and he stabbed it into the body of the giant bear.
Halfway through, suddenly he stopped moving his hand again, as if remembering something. He lifted the bear and gestured at himself, then lowered it back to the ground, this time stabbing his dagger into the bear's throat......
"Oh my God...... It's a monster ......."
The halflings on the side looked at the cruel scene in front of them and smacked their tongues.
We finally understood what the sea snake was trying to do, and after he had just made a gesture, he thought it would be a good idea to make a dress out of a bearskin. We're going to continue north, it's getting colder, a bearskin coat? Not bad.
As the sea serpents skillfully skinned, I struck up a conversation with the boss of the halflings.
"My name is Kurt, Lord Earl, and I am the ruler of this halfling." Kurt answered my question earnestly.
"Oh...... Look up for a long time. I said to him.
Kurt had a flattered expression on his face: "Don't dare, don't dare ......"
I turned to a serious face and said, "You are the thief race who often go to Broken Rock Mountain to make trouble." ”
Kurt's little face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, we are also forced to ...... I have a large number of subordinates, and it is not easy to feed so many people......"
I waved my hand: "That's it, I won't pursue the past." I heard that you halflings are born cooks, why don't you treat us to a beautiful meal? ”
I said this casually, born chef? Just kidding, I don't believe there are races like this on the dark side.
"My lord, if you don't dislike it, please come and be a guest in our tribe. I will ask the best chef of our tribe to serve you a rich lunch......"
"Very good, lead the way!"
I waved my hand and let this guy lead the way. At this time, the sea snake also peeled off a full bear skin and put it in its bag. Seeing the halfling drooling at the rest of the bear's meat, he took out his scythe and dismantled the bear into eight pieces. Then the halflings happily followed us against the pieces of meat.
After a while, we came to a clearing in the woods. There were improvised grass huts everywhere, and some halfling women were busy here, and when they saw Kurt and them returning with guests and rich prey, they all got up to greet them.
"This is the great Earl of Leiden."
After introducing us to our companions, they all bowed respectfully, and I waved my hand generously and told them to do whatever they normally would.
I looked at the strange halflings with interest, and Mai Tian pulled out his notes and asked around what they were recording. I began to wonder if Wheat Field was planning to write an encyclopedia of the Dark Side, and the sea serpent found some needlework and began to sew his own bearskin coat.
"My lord, the meal is ready."
Kurt cautiously said to me who was lying in a pile of straw.
The meal was not very tasty, but it was sumptuous, with a strange variety of bacon. It seems that it is indeed not easy for this race to survive, and as soon as there is some food, it is pickled and saved. Fortunately, the main dish is a pot of stewed bear's paws, which is a real delicacy, but it tastes bland and tasteless at this time.
"Did you forget to put salt......" I asked.
"Salt...... Adults, we halflings never put spices in cooking. Kurt said to me.
Yes? No seasoning? I hurriedly grabbed a piece of bacon and put it in my mouth, and sure enough, this bacon ...... Tastes like chewing wax.
Damn it, we've come across a race that never uses any spices! Mai Tian secretly laughed and whispered to me, mimicking my previous elegant voice, "You halflings are born cooks......
Depressed, I shouted loudly: "Sea snake, go and move out of our food and beauty bar, let's exchange courtesy......"
What kind of courtesy, I really can't eat this "delicious" meal.
The wine and delicacies of the altar were brought out by the sea serpents, and the people of some position in the halfling race sat with us, each eating with their mouths full of oil, and the two old halflings even fought over half a roast chicken. Watching them gobble up, I couldn't help but feel emotional...... I really don't know how they came back to life.
Could it be that this is the reason why they are all yellow-skinned and short, and they are called halflings......
With this compassion in mind, I taught them how to use the spices in detail after dinner, and left a jar of salt. After asking them about their usual main foods, I opened the game's built-in web page, downloaded the recipes for these foods, and copied them down with a pen. And then this special "cookbook" was given to them.
"In the future, I will cook according to these methods, and don't embarrass myself......" I said earnestly.
"Thank you...... Thank you, Lord Layton......" Kurt was already moved to tears.
"Regarding Broken Rock Mountain, I have also taken care of it, and they will not embarrass you for your small-scale actions." I went on to add.
At this time, it is difficult for halflings to express their gratitude to me in words, they ...... They sang. They sang one after the other, singing songs that were unique to their race and were used to express gratitude.
In the midst of the crushing singing, it suddenly dawned on me that this is a race that lacks artistic cells......
