Small towns adjacent to the mountains and forests have never been too prosperous.

For the adult men of the small town, the small tavern is one of the few pastimes.

You don't need too good wine, many drinkers just want an atmosphere.

In a small town, a tavern.

It was evening, and the tavern was full of people.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of alcohol and sweat, and white smoke slowly flowed down the ceiling.

"Hiccup, have you heard, some time ago someone saw a ghost with red eyes in the forest to the south."

A rosacea man burped and looked at his companion across the table with drunken eyes.

The companion was also drunk, and his face was flushed.

Hearing the words of the rosacea man, he stammered, "Listen, listen to several people say and say." ”

"Hiccup, in my opinion, it's just......"

The rosacea man sneered suddenly, and said in a piercing tone:

"What ghosts are there in this world, now these bastards...... Hiccup, in order to grab resources, anything stupid can be done. ”

"Y-Don't you believe it?"

The companion leaned on the table and muttered.

The rosacea-nosed man glared and said, "Only fools believe it." ”

"I've encountered it."

A low male voice suddenly came from the adjacent table.

The rosacea man and his drunken companion couldn't help but look at the next table.

The person who interjected was a man with a small head and a striped tattoo on half of his face.

He didn't pay attention to the rosacea's scrutinizing gaze, his eyes lowered to his cheek beer in the glass.

"But it's not a ghost, it's a red-eyed demon......"

"Hahaha."

When the rosacea man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

The tattooed man still didn't look at the rosacea man, and said to himself: "The red-eyed demon is dangerous and will bring misfortune and death. ”

"Sick in the brain."

The rosacea man restrained his laughter and glanced at the tattooed man with disdain.

The tavern was still buzzing.

No one cares about this drunken chatter in the slightest.

The night is getting darker.

One by one, the lights in the town went out.

Above the night sky, the full moon quietly disappeared behind the black clouds.

The town was darkened by darker and darker nights, and only the weak street lamps were still struggling in the darkness.

"Damn...... This month's wine money is overspent, burp...... You can't do it without wine, ...... tomorrow See where there's work...... Hiccup, catch a wanted criminal...... That's it, burp. ”

The rosacea man leaned against the wall and staggered towards the alleyway ahead.

The chaotic and heavy footsteps became the only prominent movement in the alleyway.

The rosacea-nosed man has hazy eyes and frequently burps.

In a hurry to go home to sleep, he didn't notice any other footsteps in the alleyway.

A pair of bright blood-colored eyes slowly came out of the darkness in the other direction.

In those eyes, there seemed to be countless red luminous particles flickering, revealing a thrilling and peerless beauty against the backdrop of the night of the alleyway.

And yet—

Even the beautiful red luster could not hide the gray aura of the owner of the eyes.

The ultimate dead silence is also the release of another extreme emotion.

The rosacea man paused for a moment, and finally heard other footsteps in the alleyway.

"Hiccup......

He couldn't stop hiccuping, and then slowly followed the prestige.

In the darkness at the end of the field of vision, a pair of bright red eyes stared at him.

"Gah!?"

The rosacea's pupils gradually contracted, and a look of horror quickly appeared on his face covered with large pores.

"Red, red-eyed demon ......!"

The sudden sense of horror in his heart made him involuntarily call out the tattooed man's name for red eyes.

Hearing the call of rosacea, there was not the slightest ripple in those shiny red eyes.

"You, a bounty hunter?"

A lifeless voice sounded in the darkness, and for a moment it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.

"No, I'm not!"

The rosacea man was a little sober and denied it very decisively.

If it weren't for the swinging of the legs, and the weakness of the feet......

How could he have the heart to answer the question, and he would definitely run away without looking back.

The red-eyed master did not speak again, but stared at the rosacea man with his gray eyes.

"I, I ......"

The rosacea-nosed man who was stared at was numb and said: "Part-time, I'm just a part-time ......"

"Do you know about the Phantom Brigade?"

The red-eyed master stared at the rosacea-nosed man.

"Yes, I know!"

The rosacea man couldn't help but take a step back.

The owner of the red eye is a step forward.

"Tell me."

"I said, I'll say ...... right away"

The rosacea-nosed man was weak under his feet, leaning against the wall and sitting weakly on the ground.

"The Phantom Brigade is a gang of A-class wanted criminals, and people in the industry call them the Spider ......"

In the face of that creepy gaze, the rosacea man poured the information he knew like a bean.

It also involves Moyu's exploit of breaking three spider legs.

This matter has been a common topic in the industry, but any older bounty hunter knows the name of Moyu.

But strangely......

Since this super newcomer became the youngest star hunter in history, it has suddenly disappeared from the world.

It's been more than a year, and there hasn't been any news.

This has led many bounty hunters to speculate whether the supernova has been retaliated against by the Phantom Brigade, or if he has been killed by criminals who specialize in hunting bounty hunters.

Otherwise, how could it suddenly disappear at a time when fame was high.

The rosacea man told all he knew.

When talking about Moyou, he added a lot of oil and vinegar to polish it.

After all, no matter what the red-eyed demon wanted, all he could do was divert the firepower as much as possible.

"That's all I know......"

The rosacea big man is hesitant.

The red-eyed owner was silent for a moment, then turned to leave.

The rosacea-nosed man suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Outside the roadway.

The black clouds dissipated at some point, and the full moon revealed its form, and the bright moonlight shrouded the earth.

A blonde boy walks down a quiet street like a walking corpse.

"Spider ...... Bounty Hunter ...... Moyu ......"

If anyone had gotten closer, they would have heard the blonde boy's whispered whisper.

Extra: Excerpts from the non-serious food competition

The quadrennial gastronomic competition is held in the city of Schwadani.

This blockbuster event has always been sought after by celebrities and wealthy people from all walks of life, and it is also a great opportunity for food hunters to gain a lot of fame.

No food hunter can ignore the existence of this event.

As in previous editions, this year's gastronomy contest was held in the city of Schwadani, with the Hunters' Association taking full responsibility for order and security.

The president of the Hunters Association, Nitro, and the eldest two-star food hunter, Lin Nie, participated in the competition as judges.

Every edition of the food competition, food hunters will flock to it.

But only food hunters who pass the demanding selection competition can make it to the final big stage.

Menqi and Xiaodi passed the tryouts without any danger, and came to the main competition with sixty-eight other food hunters.

Young and beautiful, very youthful and energetic, and excellent cooking skills.

These characteristics made the youngest Menqi and Xiaodi the focus of the game for a while.

"Hey, Lin Nie."

Nitro looked at Menqi, who was concentrating on the heat, stroked his beard and said leisurely: "The old man still vaguely remembers that you were also ...... at the beginning."

"Boom."

Lin Nie tapped the table with his fingers.

Although he didn't open his mouth, he conveyed the meaning to Nitro, making Nitro shut up consciously.

The other judges all looked at Nitro and Lin Nie, and then looked at Menqi and Xiaodi in the field.

One of them, a middle-aged woman dressed in serious clothes, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and a straight face, snorted imperceptibly.

Inside the arena.

Xiao Di looked at a purple-blue suckling pig on the board, and asked tentatively, "Do you really only use the large intestine......

"Yes."

Menqi was concise and to the point, and the spoon gently stirred the juice in the pot.

"What a waste."

Xiao Di looked at the meat on the purple-blue suckling pig and whispered to herself.

Although this is a pig with toxins all over its body, as long as the toxins are sucked out, the meat on its body can be eaten.

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Di picked up the kitchen knife and gave the purple-blue suckling pig a few knives.

Then he quickly took out the poisonous purple intestine.

"Do you want to deal with it now?"

Xiao Di took the large intestine and looked at Menqi.

"Hmm."

Menqi nodded.

Seeing this, Xiaodi walked into a large drying equipment that had not been started.

Of course, she couldn't use her power in public.

Menqi glanced at the droplets in the drying equipment, and thought to himself: Purple and blue suckling pig, this is a poison on the list, and this unprecedented ingredient will definitely conquer those judges.

Menqi, who has already tasted the purple-blue suckling pig, is very confident about it.

On the judges' bench.

In addition to Lin Nie and Nitro, the other five judges discussed the ingredients Menqi chose.

The general content is to question why Menqi chose a highly toxic ingredient that he knew could not be eaten.

There are indeed poisonous cuisines in the food world, and there are only a handful of poisonous dishes that can be served on the table and poisonous ingredients that can be used.

The purple-blue suckling pig is not among them, and it is also a very lethal poison.

The lady with black-rimmed glasses said coldly, "What did she do here?" ”

"Uh......"

The other judges knew the character of the lady with black-rimmed glasses, but they didn't answer.

Time flies and the cooking phase ends.

The first to be served was Menqi's dish, a plate of large intestine rolls drizzled with red sauce-colored juice.

When Menqi brought this dish to the lady with black-rimmed glasses, the latter suddenly said, "It's not a good thing to be overly arrogant, and poisonous cuisine is not something that a junior like you can master." ”

"It's not too late to say these things when you've tasted it."

Menqi said nonchalantly.

The lady with black-rimmed glasses picked up the knife and fork, pointed to the faint purple in the large intestine that was faintly in the sauce-colored juice, and asked coldly:

"So, what about the toxins that haven't been removed, I don't want to hear excuses like carelessness, or maybe you want to say that you kept it on purpose?"

"That's right, it's deliberately retained, because the slight toxins retain some of the flavor of the ingredients."

Menqi looked at the lady with black-rimmed glasses without flinching.

The food competition has a mature testing mechanism, so how can it be possible to put "substandard dishes" on the table.

As a judge, you must know the roots.

The black-rimmed glasses lady judges didn't say anything more, cut off a small piece and put it in her mouth to chew.

“……”

After a few breaths, the lady with black-rimmed glasses was stunned, slowly took off her glasses, and looked at Menqi in disbelief.

———— Dividing Line————

"Outside the previous commuter pass"

"Mirrored Flowers and Water ......"

Under the bright moonlight, Moyou sat on the edge of the lake, staring at the full moon reflected on the water.

I have been in Meilin Ecological Zone for more than half a month.

In addition to accompanying Menqi to find unknown ingredients every day, most of the rest of the time is still unremitting cultivation.

Occasionally, as I do now, when the night is getting dark, I sit by the lake and think about the future direction of my ability.

The "Speed Cornerstone" that I obtained earlier was used in the ability move of the "Release System" to make up for the damage

Now the ability materials in your hand can also construct a system of "Mirror Flowers and Water Moon".

It's just that according to the nature of the "phantom emotional fragments", in order to develop the corresponding ability, you have to follow the triggering ability process of "mycelial parasitism".

This will undoubtedly limit Moyo's room for thinking.

"Mycelium parasitism, it's a bit harsh."

Mo You stared at the full moon in the lake, and suddenly recalled the image of countless black mycelium falling from the sky.

At that time, it was this kind of mycelium that fell from the sky that pulled everyone into the illusion space, and used people's spiritual energy as food to continuously increase the effect of ability.

If the developed "Mirror Flower Water Moon" needs to meet the trigger conditions of this ability, then it will be difficult to make the enemy hit.

And considering the category of "parasitic", it is likely that the Nian Beast system will also need to be derived.

Many conditions make the direction of the capability itself particularly complicated.

However, being able to be complex is not necessarily a bad thing.

The more restrictions there are, the stronger the ability traits.

In the midst of a slight movement of thoughts, Mo You picked up a stone casually.

"Speed Gun"

The condensed telekinesis enveloped the stone, which in turn generated a huge propulsion out of thin air.

A scream sounded, and the stones pierced through a circular wave of air, shining like an electric light into the full moon in the lake in the night.

Rumble!

The full moon in the water suddenly shattered, accompanied by a fleeting burst of bright light, and a large number of splashes rose into the sky.

"It's a pity I'm a trait."

Looking at the large amount of water splashed down from mid-air, Mo You muttered to himself with a little regret.

The speed increase of the unleashed attack loaded with the "Speed Cornerstone" is terrifying.

Based on the principle of "speed is power", the destructive power should not be underestimated.

It's just that Mo You is limited by the division of the mind attribute and can't give full play to the conversion rate of the release system.

Otherwise, he felt that in the future, he might be able to raise his hand and bombard most of the mountains like the reborn ant king.

"Take your time."

Moyu looked at the full moon in the lake that was gradually returning to its original state.

The changes that the Cornerstone of God Speed has brought to him are not limited to the "gun" mode......

It can be said that it is a good complement to his "lack of lethality".

It's just quite mind-consuming......

It's something that can't be helped.

Non-native abilities will inevitably increase consumption when used.

"Are you out of the system?"

Xiao Di's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Hearing Xiaodi's voice, Mo You replied casually: "No, I'm sorry, isn't it noisy ......"

As he spoke, he looked back at Xiao Di, but it stopped abruptly in the middle of his words.

Guy Xiaodi is only wearing intimate clothes at the moment, and her graceful and precocious figure is undoubtedly revealed.

Under the moonlight, I could clearly see that there were several beads of sweat slowly sliding into the depths of the plump place.

Large patches of fair, supple skin exposed to the air emit a hazy shimmer.

"...... you?"

Mo You looked at Xiao Di, who was only wearing intimate clothes, and his face was stunned.

"I sweated a lot and wanted to go down and take a shower."

Droplet raised her hand to wipe the sweat that ran from her neck to her chest and explained.

"Okay......"

Mo You nodded stiffly.

Does the natural stay still have this attribute of not caring about being looked at the slightest?

Mo Yu thought silently in his heart.

Xiao Di didn't ask Mo You any more questions, and walked the lake towards the full moon on the water in the distance.

Soon, the lake overflowed her waist.

And she stopped abruptly, facing the bright moonlight, turned to look at Mo You, tilted her head slightly and asked:

"Moyu, you've also sweated a lot, do you want to wash it together?"

In the silvery white light, the scenery is in full view.

It's obviously a scene full of ambiguity, but the tone of the girl's invitation makes people can't have the slightest evil thoughts.

"No, thank you."

Mo Yu said.

"Hmm."

Seeing that Mo You refused, Xiao Di nodded his head, and immediately dived into the lake, cruising up and down like a fish.

Mo You craned his chin and looked at the little droplet, who was swimming happily.

It's hard to imagine that such a natural girl can smash people's heads with a vacuum cleaner without changing her face.

In the days to come, it was even possible to clean up thousands of broken corpses without any waves.

The people who came out of Meteor Street......

Is it all that special?

Not right either.

There are too many environments in this world that are shrouded in darkness, which is why all kinds of dangerous people are born.

In addition, with the existence of the ability to think, the darkness bred by the environment will be magnified to the greatest extent by the "mind".

Now the droplet......

At least in Moyu's opinion, a friend who can get along forever.

Mo Yu thought silently.

Not far behind him, a gaze retracted.

"Hmph."

In the dark, Menqi snorted lightly, and subconsciously looked up at his chest, and Xiaodi's strong capital suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Wait!"

Menqi muttered to himself unconvinced.

If Mo You could hear Menqi's inner thoughts at the moment, then he would definitely make Menqi feel at ease instantly.

Because in a few years—

Menqi's capital will not lose a small drop at all.
