Chapter 197: Night Talk Refers to Heavenly Pepper (II)
"Salt?"
"Thank you."
"Pepper?"
"Thank you. β
"Chili?"
"No, thank you. β
"Put a little chili, it's cold, eat some chili to warm up. β
"I don't dare to eat spicy food, Asai, thank you. β
"This is the best chili pepper 'Finger Heavenly Sword' grown in the eastern mountains of the Later Qin Kingdom, with moderate spiciness, strong fragrance, and it can warm from the throat to the stomach when eaten, Brother Jonah. β
β...... Oh well, give me a little. β
"That's right. β
β...... I ask, you're not going to play a prank, are you, Assai?"
"Why should I be playing a prank? Why should I harm my dearest companion at such a warm and cozy lunch......time?"
"Okay, I'm sorry, then I'll eat. β
"That's right, let's take a big bite. β
Jonah remembers the warm and cozy dinner not long ago, when Asai pulled out a black sausage and sold it to him, the legendary 'Samadhi True Fire', a specialty of the Vedic kingdoms of the southern continent, gave him his first taste of life worse than death. This incident left a deep scar on his young mind, and at this moment, looking at the sharp pepper handed over by the Oriental, his heart couldn't help but plop and beat the drum. But at this time, Assai's face was full of harmless and innocent expressions, and the chili peppers looked red and quite ordinary, so the astrologer relaxed his vigilance, first stuffed a piece of barbecue meat into his mouth, and then "clicked" to take a bite of the chili pepper, and raised his thumb and said: "This barbecue is really amazing! It is tender and full of gravy, and when you chew it, the whole mouth is full of sweet meat, the salt and pepper seasoning are just right, the skin is baked crispy and crispy, and the inside is not overcooked, I didn't expect the meat of the Tagu Demon Beast to be so delicious!" This pepper is also a wild aromatic flavor, is it spicy......"
His expression froze. Long Shenlan looked at him: "Senior Jonah, are you okay, do you want to drink water?"
"No, he's enjoying it, little dragon. The Oriental man smiled and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I just said the opposite, it should be 'moderate aroma and extremely spicy'...... It's two hundred times more spicy than Samadhi, right?"
Xiaolong cautiously asked, "Lord Long Chang, are you still holding a grudge because you looked for us all night?"
"Ahaha, I'm such a cautious person. Asai showed a holy smile, "Isn't it just that I used my hidden strength to fight with the demonic beasts, ran wild on the lake all night, and summoned poor Dakui to wipe your ass for you, nothing, nothing, I have long forgotten about this thing......"
Tears poured out of my eyes, half of them because of the humiliation of being fooled again, and more than half because of the cold sorrow that welled up in my heart and rose higher and higher like a tide. At this moment, the 17-year-old thanked Asai very much, thanked him for giving him a chance to cry heartily, "It's so, it's so spicy!" Jonah cried out with tears streaming down his eyes, grabbing the sparkling wine and pouring it down his throat, covering his cheeks with his sleeve.
"You made Jonah spy, Lord Long Chang. Long Shenlu calmly observed.
"He can't beat me. The Oriental said.
"Forgive me for being rude. Long Shenlan plucked up his courage and said, "You're very bad, Lord Long Chang. β
"You can't beat me. Whatever. Asai shrugged.
The vastness of Yunmengze is unimaginable, Dakui gallops north like a battleship, and the surrounding scenery has not changed in the slightest, and the gray water surface extends to the horizon. Before I knew it, the sky was dark, and the colorful miasma was lowered with the night, "Okay, let's set up camp." Ah Sai tapped Dakui's back with his foot, and the giant beast responded with a "moo", and its speed slowed down, and dozens ......of water jets spewed out from all sides, and the giant beast was squirming its muscles to squeeze air out of its body. The water slowly rose, "Follow me." The Oriental led the two teenagers up their backs, where there was a hole leading to the cavity of the body, and the skin was the color of a hard metal vein, a sight that reminded Jonah of the descendants of the endless sea of sand.
Asai jumped in, Jonah and Long Shen Liang following behind. Several people fell to the soft tissues, and Dakui's body was pitch black, and there was a faint stench coming from it, but he could still breathe. "Trouble shines, Brother Jonah. The Oriental said.
The astrologer ignites the illuminated star array. Compared to the incredible length of the giant beast, this body cavity was not large, showing an irregular spherical shape thirty yards in diameter, and the flesh walls were pale yellow, and many bright yellow balls formed on the surface. "Sit casually. This ball is an earth-based magic crystal made by Dakui, which may be useful if you are a magician. Asai chose a comfortable place to sit down.
Jonah looked up and saw that the hole above him was closing. There was a strange sensation in his eardrums, and he could feel the giant beast sinking into the cold water of Yun Mengze, but its belly was dry and warm, like a high-class room with casual decoration (and bad smell). "By the way, Ah Sai, since it's Dakui's 'navel', why is it growing upwards? Shouldn't the navel be on the side of the belly?" the young man suddenly asked.
β...... Are you sure you need to ask more questions, Brother Jonah?" the Oriental glanced at him.
β...... That's it. β
No one spoke for a while. Jonah stuck his staff on the ground, drew a simple star array to keep the lighting star array working, and then poured out the contents of the deerskin bag to tidy up. Asai pulled out his tattered pocket watch and played with it, not knowing what he was thinking. Long Shenlu drew his long sword and wiped it with a rag, the irascible sword in his hand kept jumping and struggling to return to his master's embrace, and the little dragon stubbornly fought with it.
"Why don't you give the sword back to Assai? You know it's his, Dragon. Jonah finally asked.
"This is what my grandmother left me. Only if she agreed, I could give the sword to someone else. Long Shenlu replied. This delicate and slender teenager has a rather stubborn temper.
The Oriental waved his hand and signaled that it didn't matter: "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to find you." It's okay, just keep it for me, I've found the sickle and hammer I used before, and I can fight as well. β
Jonah nodded. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke again: "Ah Sai, does it really matter if we eat the flesh of the Tagu Demon Beasts? I think they seem to be very pitiful, I can't tell why, it's just a feeling...... I don't think it's right to kill them......"
Ah Sai slapped his head and said with a wry smile: "Okay, if you don't make it clear, you're really going to ask a lot of questions, Brother Jonah." There is no way to kill the Tagu Demon Beast, its spirit core is only the size of a little finger nail, and as long as it is not broken, it can regenerate its flesh again and again. During the Second Ancient War, they made the Holy Covenant suffer a lot, and it was the Anglican Church that used the Ten Thousand Gathering Spirit Circle to temporarily suppress the spiritual power of the Yagu Mountain Range, which made the Tagu Demon Beast temporarily lose its combat effectiveness. Legend has it that the reason why the Tagu monsters attacked humans was because they longed to be killed by the strong, because they were tortured by hunger, pain and loneliness, but they could not achieve ultimate peace, they lived too long, even their memories and sanity were blurred, and only a half-dead and half-alive body was left wandering around the earth day after day. β
Whether the Tagu Demon Beast entered Yunmengze by accident, or was summoned by the dragon clan to guard the dragon's tomb, this is unknown, and the young man did have a deep sympathy for this species in his heart at this moment. "Asai. He thought for a moment and said, "If the Tagu Demon Beast really wants to be liberated, all it needs to do is go to the Yagu Mountain Range and seal that mysterious land forever, right?"
"That's right. The Oriental raised his eyebrows, "You don't really want to do that, do you?" you almost tore to shreds by them, alas, Brother Jonah, rotten good man. The Yagu Mountain Range is now the territory of the Zavi Empire, can you just go in and destroy it? Besides, how much strength does it take to seal an entire mountain range? I'm afraid that you will have to be a powerhouse of the ninth level of sealing warlocks, or even a person of the twelfth council lord level! Wait for you to cultivate to that point...... I'm afraid that the Tagu Demon Beasts will wait until they die of old age. β
Jonah's eyes sparkled and he said, "They are involuntary, if I can help them, I will definitely do it!" The Rose Knight - that is, Elliot I often tell you about - is himself the king of the Red Plains, if he recovers his homeland, the western mountains of the Zavi Empire are under his jurisdiction, then there will be no problem! And the Moon Phase Star Array that Seth Battheion, a ninth-level astrology master of the Astrology Association, is proficient in seems to be quite good at sealing and breaking seals, and the Ten Thousand Spirit Gathering Array used by the Holy Church in Suiyang City was destroyed by him. As long as they're willing to help, there's hope!"
Asai stared at him stunned for a long time, and sighed: "Alas, Brother Jonah, I really don't know if you are simple or simply have no brains...... The more time I get in touch, the more I feel that a naΓ―ve and idealistic guy like you really shouldn't be safe to live until now......"
"I am enlightened, Asai. "Astrologers are serious.
"You're stupid, Brother Jonah. The King of Assassins commented.
"It's the right thing to do to help them, and if it's right, why don't we do it?" Jonah argued.
"Because everybody has to live their own life. There are so many right things in the world, and if we do everything according to every correct answer, how can we have time to live for ourselves?" said the Oriental, "just mind your own business, Brother Jonah! You just have an unrealistic idea out of sympathy, like seeing a cat or a dog on the side of the road that is waiting to be fed, knowing that your parents or landlord will kick them away, or you have to stuff these animals into your clothes and bring them backβthis is a waste of effort!"
"But the kittens and puppies are pitiful. Jonah said.
"Tagu Demon Beast is not a kitten or a puppy!" Asai yelled unbearably.
