Chapter 507: A Meaningless Little Task (Part I)
"Come on, come on, help me carry this thing over there!"
A hermit crab covered in anemones shook its huge pincers at the five of us, apparently treating us like coolies.
"Shall we move?" The monk behind me looked at the pile of large and small altars and jars, and looked at me with some hesitation. We're here to find the key, not to be coolies.
"Why do you want us to move things?" I looked at the hermit crab coldly and said confidently.
Which of the squid sentries you saw along the way wasn't arrogant? His boss controls the entire Dragon Palace, where is it the turn of these squid to move things.
When the hermit crab saw my attitude, he immediately waved his tongs and rushed over, and said proudly: "Don't think that demon monk is in charge, you cuttlefish cubs have all turned over one by one." When the Dragon King comes back from the South China Sea, I will see what will happen to you! To move or not to move?! If you don't move, I'll clamp you into two pieces! ”
"Do you want to do it?" I shouted, but I was already a little nervous.
If we really want to fight, even if there are ten more hermit crabs, we will not be the opponent of the five of us. It's just that as soon as we make a move, the camouflage on us disappears.
I really can't do it, so I'll help move those things. Anyway, such a task is not difficult, at best, it is just a dry job.
Just as I was hesitating, a big round head poked into the corridor next door and shouted, "Okay, you crab director, you dare to ask our sentinels to move things!" ”
When we saw it, we were immediately happy.
Entering was a large squid, dressed in armor covered with coral and pearls, and several tentacles exposed outside the armor were also covered in black and yellow patterns, looking like a clown.
But such a clown actually made the hermit crab take a few steps back in fright, and the anemones on his body all shrank up, like a bunch of chrysanthemum bones that had beaten Yan'er, and he didn't even dare to shake it.
"Unified ...... Commander, I don't ...... That's not what it means. The hermit crab shrunk into its pincers, its whole head almost retracted into the shell on its back, and said with a slight trembling: "I saw that these guys had nothing to do, and they were shaking around here, so I wanted to ask them to help." ”
"Didn't I hear what you said?" The patterns on the squid leader's body became more vivid, and he said loudly with two tentacles, "What did you just say?!" You dare to scold our dignified national teacher for being a demon monk, I think you are impatient! ”
"I didn't ...... No! "The hermit crab had burrowed all the way into the anemone-covered shell, leaving only a large red pincer on the outside.
"Dare to quibble?!" The squid commander snorted heavily, pointed at a few of us, and said, "You guys, drag this guy to the dungeon!" I should also let these guys know whether the old turtle is powerful, or our national teacher is powerful! ”
Old tortoise? Does it mean that the turtle prime minister who only gets bigger and smaller?
I don't see anything powerful about it, but it's probably a little bit smarter than these hollow-brained squid. Otherwise, how could he ask a few of us to sneak into the Dragon Palace and help him save people?
A few of us took a few steps forward, but immediately retreated.
Damn, we can't do it now, if that hermit crab really swings a pincer at us, and the camouflage on its body is broken, it will be exposed.
Seeing that a few of us cowered and didn't dare to step forward, the squid commander was actually angry, and scolded: "A bunch of waste! I should have asked you to help him move the jar just now! Won't you be afraid of his pincers and knock him out first! ”
Fainted? Do you want to smash it with a jar?
Comparing the thick shell on the back of the hermit crab with the hardness of the jars and jars around it, I don't think that the jar can make much of a difference.
"What a rubbish! Rubbish! ”
When the squid commander saw that we still wouldn't move, he cursed and squirted a cloud of ink onto the hermit crab's body.
"Goo-dong!"
The hermit crab fell to the ground, and the frightening pincers fell limply to the side.
"The commander is really wise and martial, extraordinary, outstanding, no wonder he can be the commander, the younger brothers admire the five-body throw, the five-body throw." A girl behind her bent over and hunched over, and a series of sycophants slapped on it, looking like she was going to massage the squid's shoulder?
I saw her stretch out two tentacles and touch the body of the big squid, and I felt sick to see it.
Could it be that there is something strange about this girl? Why didn't I see it before?
"Don't drag it into the dungeon yet!" The squid commander was obviously very interested in this sycophancy, as well as the massage, and said with a trembling body: "Tear off its shell when you drag it, otherwise it will be enough for a few of you to move." ”
"Yes! Be! ”
The rest of the people dragged the fainting hermit crab out of the thick shell, don't look at this guy looked so huge at first, after dragging it out, the whole body was not big enough for its pincers, thin and small, like a pile of bones.
A monk and I rolled up one of the hermit crab's hind legs with our tentacles and dragged it forward. The heavy pliers struck the ground again and again, and there was a "Boom! Boom! Voice.
"Alright, alright! Go ahead! The squid commander waved his tentacles, pointed to a small door on the side, and said, "Go over there, and tell the guard inside that this is the thief I just caught, and call him a good life." What's wrong, I'm the only one asking! ”
"Okay!" A few of us responded, dragging the hermit crab to the small door.
If it weren't for the stupid squid's direction, we wouldn't know where the dungeon would be going.
Venture into the dark passageway, which is lined with coral fences on both sides. In the cracks of the fence, there were occasionally one or two curses, and it seemed that those old ministers in the Dragon Palace who refused to obey the squid demon monks were imprisoned here.
We didn't dare to stop at this place, so we just dragged the hermit crab all the way forward.
"Did you get it?" Behind him, a voice asked in a whisper.
"Just kidding, this girl is out of the horse, is there anyone who can't do it?"
Belch......
I stopped abruptly and looked back, and the girl who had just massaged the squid in charge of the skytower had a silver key hanging from her tentacles.
Yes! Why didn't I notice that the key was on the squid's leader? I've obviously used the Heavenly Eye Technique to detect it before.
But it's no wonder that the Heavenly Eye Technique is not omnipotent. The things hidden in the monster's backpack can't be seen even if you have the Heavenly Eye Technique, only the thieves can show it. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to bring two thieves with each team.
"Now that we've got the stuff, let's go back." The monk who was carrying the hermit crab with me whispered.
"There's no hurry." I shook my head and said, "It's still early, and the other teams don't know if they've succeeded." If we just leave this guy here, we'll show our feet. ”
"That's right." The monk nodded and said, "Aren't we going to inquire about the whereabouts of the princess's detention?" I wonder if the chamber will be inside this dungeon. ”
"It's not that easy." I said, "If the princess is locked up with those ministers, isn't the squid afraid that they will unite to rebel?" Send this guy over quickly, maybe you can get some clues. ”
As we spoke, we had swam to the middle of the dungeon, where a fierce shark demon was pounding on one of the cell doors with a trident to silence the screaming ministers inside.
Looking at the title above his head, I dragged the hermit crab forward and said to the shark demon, "Cell leader, this is the rebel thief that the Lord Commander has just caught, so you can say hello to him." ”
The shark turned its head and bared a mouthful of white teeth at me, startling me.
The guy twitched his nose, and his hammer-shaped head approached the hermit crab, almost stopping on my chest. I didn't dare to move, I could almost hear my heart beating out of my chest.
"This stuff doesn't taste good, it's not tasty." The shark demon suddenly raised his head and said, a strange face came up to me, squinted at me, then waved the trident in his hand, pointed to a cage on the right and said, "Throw it in there, and then go to the kitchen in the back to get me something to eat, I'm hungry." ”
"This ......" I looked at the hermit crab in my hand, I really didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
"Why don't you go!" The shark demon roared: "Didn't you hear that Lao Tzu was hungry?" If you grind it any longer, I'll have a few of you cuttlefish for dinner! ”
It's so uncomfortable not to be able to do it, and I still have to listen to a little monster calling and drinking!
There is infinite resentment in his heart, but he doesn't dare to slow down anymore.
A few of us stuffed the unconscious hermit crab into a cage and ran to the back kitchen as if we were running for our lives.
"Boss Zhongtian, you really want to get food for that shark, do you? I was scared to death just by looking at him. Now that I don't have skills to protect me, why do I think these monsters look so scary? ”
Behind me, the thief girl who had stolen the key patted her chest with her tentacles and gasped at me.
The other glanced at the girl, and said: "Several times I have seen these monsters want to do it, such a task is really unpleasant, let's just drive out in stealth." ”
"You can sneak out, what should I do?" The monks who were with us were a little unhappy.
We always encounter these mobs throwing some boring tasks along the way, and there are no task rewards, and everyone doesn't understand why I still insist on doing it.
