As soon as Shen Xiaohe's words fell, the blood-red eyes of the eight-clawed water ghost stared at Shen Chai.

"Uh...... No, no!" Shen Chai smiled awkwardly, "I believe it, I believe it!"

Tang Shishi couldn't help but smile when she saw this.

At this moment, Blue's voice came from a distance: "Brother Shen Chai, Grandpa Hopps said that the eight-clawed water ghost breathes with his cheeks!

"The nerd is back," Tang Shishi said with a smile, "Xiao Hey, hurry up and put away the spirit waiter!"

"Oh!" Shen Xiaohe's heart moved, and the eight-clawed water ghost suddenly disappeared.

Blue ran over.

Shen ...... Brother Shen Chai," Bruce snorted and gasped, bent down and put his hands on his knees and said, "Grandpa Hopps said that the eight-clawed water ghost breathes with its cheeks!

"Oh," Shen Chai shrugged, "but the Octopus Water Ghost is dead. ”

"Dead?" said Blue in surprise, "How did you die?"

"I guess I was poisoned by the black smoke I just sprayed. ”

"......" Blue scratched his head when he heard this, and sighed for a long time, "This eight-clawed water ghost is really stupid!"

......

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Shen Chai and the others immediately rushed back to the caravan, explaining the death of the eight-clawed water ghost, and saying that they had already avenged Santo and Rhea.

Everyone didn't believe that Shen Chai and the others could kill the eight-clawed water ghost, but after seeing the half-cut tentacle on Shen Xiaohe's shoulder, they were all convinced.

The crowd mourned for Santo and Rhea for a while, and in a sad atmosphere, they rushed to the repair area.

Before dark, the caravan finally arrived at the repair area of the Black Swamp.

It is said to be a repair area, but in fact it is two large earthen houses, and one of the houses even has a collapsed ceiling, and there are ruins everywhere.

Under the command of Hopus, the servants unloaded the wildebeest and the white camel from their cargo, and then drove them all into the ceilingless house, where they were finally laid out in a relatively intact house for rest.

When everything was cleaned up, Hopps lit a bonfire in the yard, around which everyone began to eat.

Shen Xiaohei threw out the half of the tentacle from the space ring and asked Shen Chai to roast it for her to eat with fire-based magic.

"Come, let's all taste it, fresh monster meat!" Shen Chai placed the tentacles of the octopus that had passed the test in the middle of the crowd.

"Oh, the octopus is ready!" Shen Xiaohe, without saying hello, immediately cut off a large piece of meat with a knife and began to gnaw.

Shen Chai originally thought that Hopps and the others would not eat this thing, after all, the appearance of this thing was indeed a bit scary, and Senbai's fangs were still in his mouth.

But Hopps and the others didn't have any taboos at all, and they took out daggers from their waists and began to pull the octopus tentacles, admiring while eating.

"Hmmm!

"Tsk, Warcraft meat is delicious, much better than our air-dried meat!"

Shen Chai thought about it, this group of people who ran caravans were sleeping outside all day long, where would there be so much exquisiteness, and it would be a luxury to be able to eat Warcraft meat!

Everyone was satisfied with a beautiful meal, and everyone prayed silently for Santo and Rhea around the campfire, and then began to listen to Hopps arrange for a vigil.

When camping in the wilderness, especially in the dangerous black swamps, vigil is absolutely important, otherwise you will probably never wake up again.

As an experienced caravan captain, Hopps took vigil very seriously, and he first pulled out a thin piece of tough thread with brass bells the size of wine glasses tied to the top.

Hopps placed the line around the two earthen houses, and if there was movement at night, such as if a creature touched the thin line, the brass bell on it would sound an alarm.

"The weight of the copper bell must be just right, if it is too light, it will be blown by the wind, and if it is too heavy, it will not be very sensitive and will not play the role of alarm." ”

Then Hopps took out another packet of sulfur powder and sprinkled it on the door of the room, saying that it could disperse small things like snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Finally, Hopps began arranging a vigil list.

"The vigil is a two-person shift, a magician and an ordinary person, in case there is any emergency, the magician can deal with it in time!"

Hoppus's voice was low and vicissitudes, and he seemed to be a little older after the murder of Santo and Rhea.

"First class, Blue and Hannah. ”

This was arranged by Hopus at Hannah's urging.

"The second class, Shen Chai and me. ”

"The third class, Tang Shishi and Gru. ”

They slept for a total of six hours at night, and kept vigil for two hours in one group.

After arranging the night shift, everyone went into the house to sleep, and after a day of running, the snoring sounded in the blink of an eye.

Only Blue and Hannah sat side by side by the campfire.

"Blue, are your parents still alive?" said Hannah, holding the fire in front of her with a stick, "My parents died when I was five years old. ”

"My parents •••••• my ••••••" Blue scratched his head for a long time, but didn't say anything.

"You idiot, you can't even tell your own parents!" Hannah scoffed, slowly resting her head on Blue's shoulder.

Under the gentle moonlight, two figures leaning against each other swayed slightly under the reflection of the bonfire.

"Blue, will you take me to see the snow-capped mountains of Gaia......"

......

Two hours later, it was Shen Chai and Hoppus' turn to keep vigil.

"Old Master Hopus," Shen Chai said thoughtfully, "Since the wasteland and the black swamp are border lands, who set up the boundary monument?"

"Well, you mean the Black Swamp Boundary Monument, which was set up by the Magic Alliance. ”

Hopps said lightly: "Back then, the Black Swamp and the Wasteland were the territory of the Magic Alliance, but then they have been attacked by the Borderlands, and this area is not safe to defend, so they gave up here and retreated to Saitu City. ”

"Why didn't the scavenger chase after the boundary monument?" Shen Chai's eyes stared at the dancing flames faintly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Beasts are very territorial, and this is much stronger than humans. Hoppes sighed.

Then, as if he realized something, Hopps turned his head and looked at Shen Chai deeply: "If the little doll has something to say, just say it!"

"Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy!"

Shen Chai smiled slightly, and finally leaned over to Hopus, and asked quietly, "If there is no one-eyed vulture to report the news, is there any other way for the scavenger to track down the prey in the vast wasteland?"

Hearing this, Hopps's eyes lit up, glowing with a deep light against the background of the bonfire, and he stretched out his old palm and patted Shen Chai's shoulder: "Sure enough, the future is terrifying!"
