Chapter 54: Forcible Seizure
The next day, it wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Rod opened his eyes in a daze.
She stretched, and the Book of a Thousand Laws emerged from beside her, and a ball of water appeared out of thin air with a spell from above. After washing his face with this balloon, Rod walked out of the cave refreshed and waved to Luci on the beach:
"Good morning!"
Lucy flipped the grilled fish in his hand while applying seasonings on it, and said casually after hearing Rod's words: "Morning, I didn't call you when I saw that you slept so soundly." ”
"I don't think you can eat those dry foods, so I went dozens of nautical miles away and got a few fish to grill and eat."
Rod glanced at the tent next to the campfire, where Lucie's tools and spices for grilling fish were taken from, and asked curiously, "[Traveler's Tent]?" It's quite useful at this time, saying that if you kill its original owner, you're not afraid that your little lover will be angry? ”
Lucy took a grilled fish, blew it, handed it to Rod, and said noncommittally, "That was a long time ago, and Karena and I are only in partnership. ”
"Yes," Rod rolled his eyes, "I always thought you had some special relationship with her~"
"Eat your fish," Lucy rubbed Rod's hedgehog head, "don't worry about adults and children." ”
He put the spices on the ground into the tent, patted the grimace on the top of the tent, the tent shook a few times and disappeared with the spices, and then got up and walked towards the island.
Rod gulped down the crispy fish on the outside and tender on the inside, and asked vaguely:
"Where are you going?"
"At this time, there should be candidates who have found the black blood grass, I'll go take a look, and bring two back by the way."
After Luci walked away, Rod showed a satisfied expression on his face, and smiled: "The real value of this exam, I actually ate the grilled fish of Hades~ If you let the priest know about it, you will envy me to death!" ”
……
On a wetland in a puddle, two groups of people are facing each other with the smell of gunpowder.
"I discovered this black blood grass first, what do you want to do?"
It was a young man wearing an orange wide-belted martial arts uniform, and judging by his exposed muscles, it was by no means easy. Because of this, the other people just surrounded him and did not rush to snatch him.
"No. 49...... Martial artist Chen Li, this is a hard stubble, Grim, otherwise forget it, right? ”
Being persuaded by his accomplice in a whisper, the strong man in the lead couldn't help but weigh the gains and losses in his heart, as the accomplice said, he also witnessed the strength shown by this young man named Chen Li in last year's hunter exam, and was one of the last candidates, although he failed to pass the exam in the end, it was largely just bad luck.
There are a total of 100 black blood plants on the island, and they will fight him for one...... It's not a good deal.
Thinking of this, the leading strong man raised his hand to show that he had no malicious intent: "Don't be nervous, we are just passing by, and we are also acquaintances who took the last exam together, since you found it first, then let it be given to you." ”
"Kalu, Federer, let's go."
As the strong man turned around, the other two also breathed a sigh of relief, obviously not wanting to fight with Chen Li. The short man who spoke out to dissuade him at the beginning also showed a friendly smile to Chen Li, after all, no one knew what the content of the exam would be in the future, and if he could have a good relationship with such a strong person, maybe it would come in handy later.
Chen Li didn't say a word, staring at the three of them until the three of them disappeared from his eyes, he didn't let go, leaned over and carefully used the tools issued by the association to pick the black blood grass.
Even in the process of collecting the black blood grass, he did not let his guard down, and at least half of his mind was guarded around.
As soon as he pocketed the black blood grass, he saw the three of Grim returning.
"Hey, don't you still have a thief's heart?"
Chen Li threw the burden containing the black blood grass behind his back and put on a starting gesture, the reason why he didn't do it just now was because he was afraid that the black blood grass would be damaged during the fight, and now he didn't have this scruples, he planned to teach the three of them a good lesson.
However, after seeing the panicked expressions on the faces of the three Grims, Chen Li realized that things didn't seem to be so simple.
"Great, sir, the black blood grass is here!"
Grim smiled reluctantly at Chen Li, turned his head and shouted tremblingly, and the short man gave Chen Li a look of self-begging.
Chen Li withdrew his hand and looked behind the three of them, and a figure slowly appeared in his eyes.
A thin bead of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Obviously, the man is just a gentle and harmless teenager, but it brings him a sense of oppression in the face of the top predator of the food chain.
This evil breath ...... What the hell is it?
Different from Chen Li's great enemy, Lucy first smiled and said to the three of Grim: "Well, the three of you have worked hard, you can go." ”
Then he walked briskly towards Chen Li and looked at the burden:
"Looks like you've already taken it off, it's good, I don't have to do it myself, it's really good luck today."
Chen Li watched as Lucy took his burden away, but his body seemed to be stiffened, unable to move even a finger.
Lucy opened the baggage, took out the food and water inside, and placed it in front of Chen Li, then lifted the burden of only the black blood grass left, and turned around to leave. And at this moment, the shame and anger in Chen Li's heart overshadowed the fear, and he stretched out his hand to grab Luxi:
"Stop! You-"
Lucy glanced back at him.
The air around him seemed to be frozen, Chen Li maintained the posture of stretching out his hand, looking at Lu Xi blankly, just for a moment, the original harmless appearance of humans and animals turned into an indescribable distorted form in his eyes, accompanied by the aura around him exuding the meaning of calamity, destruction, terror, and death.
"Anything else?"
Lucy tilted his head, if it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to kill these ordinary people who couldn't read, because that would be unfulfilling.
Fortunately, Chen Li's perception was keener than ordinary people, and he immediately noticed the unfathomable gap between the two sides, and stepped back from the ghost gate:
"These waters...... Please take it with you, too. ”
Lucy smiled when he heard this, and said gently: "That's not necessary, speaking of which, the exam is over in one day, and you all have to hurry up before that, work hard!" ”
After saying that, he hummed a strange ballad, and Shi Shiran left.
After Lucy disappeared from view, Chen Li picked up the dry food and water on the ground tremblingly, and then the three of Grim came up, and the short man said:
"Mr. Chen Li, now your black blood grass has also been ...... It's snatched, do you want to consider teaming up with us? ”
"Tomorrow is the last day, and if you were alone, it would be difficult to find those candidates with black blood grass, right? The odds are better when the four of us work together, don't we? ”
When facing these three people, Chen Li regained the dignity of a martial artist, and after hearing the short man's proposal, he pondered for a moment and nodded reservedly:
"Yes, but ...... Do you know the details of that person just now, why did such a strong monster suddenly come? ”
Grim smiled bitterly, Chen Li should have been on the island on the previous passenger ships, so he didn't see the bizarre scene in the follow-up, no wonder he dared to make a move just now.
After Grim told Chen Li in detail what Lucy had done on the last passenger ship, the martial artist's face turned pale, and he realized how lucky he was to survive.
