Chapter 9: The Voyeuristic Monster
The caravan slowly walked through the main road of Brynden Stone, then crossed the market and walked out of the stalagmite city through the main entrance of Brynden.
There was no road outside Brynden, the road was nothing more than a few not-so-rugged stalagmite gaps, and the Lothmons were accustomed to the ruggedness of the road, and they crawled and jumped steadily between the stalagmites, leaving behind the obstacles that the wheels could not jump over. The caravan guards were divided into two groups and took turns clearing the strange monsters that could pose a threat to the lothmon lurking among the stalagmites.
Cave fishing crabs, man-eating mushrooms, giant spiders, and many other unknown monsters opened the eyes of Zhu Ba, a house that had never been to the dark region, and he even dissected a few on the spot to deepen his understanding.
Drive, warm, barbecue, garrison.
The bonfire represents all of the above, and it has been several days since he left Brynden Stone City, and Zhu Ba has already mingled with the guards, all of whom know that this cat-faced orc is a high-ranking professional with a good temper, and he doesn't even participate in the management of the caravan guards, leaving Dart and Saltu to have all the power.
As usual, Zhu Ba was on duty for the second half of the night, but unlike usual, it was Kamano the Breaker who was on duty with Zhu Ba for the second half of the night. After seeing Zhu Ba for several days, he finally had the opportunity to be alone with Zhu Ba.
"I didn't expect that Your Excellency would be a high-level member of the Dark Gold Chamber of Commerce. ”
Camano fiddled with the cave bats on the campfire, which were quite delicious after removing the hair and roasting, especially the skin on the pair of wings, which was soft and fragrant, full of strength, and very hungry. It's just that cave bats have keen senses and fly fast, which makes them quite difficult to catch.
"I didn't expect you to be in the caravan guard. Why can't you suddenly think that instead of being your underworld leader in Brynden, you are here to be a caravan guard who licks blood with a knife head?"
Zhu Ba took a cave bat from the bonfire, a trace of silver light popped out of his right palm, cut off a piece of skin, threw it into his mouth, chewed it heavily, and replied vaguely.
"It's nothing, it's just that I was hit too hard in that encounter, and I desperately want to improve my combat ability, and the fastest way to improve is not actual combat, isn't it?"
Camano also used the sharp knife in his hand to cut off a piece of bat meat and threw it into his mouth, chewing slowly.
"In just a few days, I feel like I've been in a tense state every day, and I feel like my career level that I haven't moved for a long time has begun to slowly move forward!"
"That's good, work hard, I feel like your potential definitely exceeds that of a senior professional. ”
Zhu Ba, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, flickered around the Breaker Kamano child, completely unaware that one of the tents was slightly open.
Thorrison, Sorelin's sister, after seeing Kamano the Breaker join the Guardians of the Dark Gold Chamber of Commerce, she hid her true strength and easily infiltrated the Guardians with only half her strength and two axes made of fine iron.
"Kamano, if you can't find that cat-faced orc, I'll take you first!"
Originally, she had this in mind, so whenever Camano rotated, she would peek at him from the tent, looking for an opportunity. But when she peeked at Camano as usual, the shadow of the conversation between Kamano and Zhu Ba drifted into her ears.
Her body shook slightly, as if she wanted to open the tent, but in the end she held back.
"There's still a long way to go, there's time, I don't need to take any risks, I just need to break them all. ”
Reassuring himself inwardly, Thorrison let go of his grip on the wheel axe and continued to peep.
A cave bat quickly disappeared into Zhu Ba's bloody mouth, although the gods, especially the mechanical god Anaxim, did not need food at all, but Zhu Ba, whose body was mostly an organism, liked to satisfy his appetite, and casually stuffed the cleanly eaten cave bat skeleton into the bonfire, so that the bonfire sprinkled a burst of burnt incense, and when he picked up another cave bat, a feeling of being spied on came to his mind.
"Come out, sneaky peeping coward!"
Zhu Ba's sudden roar made Sorison think that she had been discovered, and she immediately lifted the wheel and axe and got out of the tent, but when she came out, she immediately found that Zhu Ba was not facing her, but looking at the darkness not far away with a serious face.
"Brother Bajie, what's the situation?"
Zhu Ba's roar had already woken up the entire caravan, and Sherlock also came out of the tent with a nightcap made of soft mink, looking around with sleepy eyes.
"Nothing, except that I felt something peeking at us over there, but I'm scared away now. ”
"Oh. ”
Sleepy-eyed, Sherlock turned and slipped into the most luxurious and sturdy tent in his caravan, and went on to see the gold of his dreams, while the other guards entered the tent one by one, and the camp was quiet again.
Everyone has different feelings about the time in the dark area. Since leaving Brinzon, the Chamber of Dark Gold has been climbing through the stalagmite forest, following the marks left behind. And on the right path, the mutant Lothmon carrying the smiling goblin banner has contributed a lot, this is the so-called old horse to know the way.
"This Lothmon is called Kaka, it was left by my father's father, although he is very old, but every time he takes this trade route, I will make him the leader of the Lothmon, with him, there will never be a Lothmon lost. ”
Sherlock flapped the mutant Lothmon Kaka beneath him, showing off proudly, when suddenly the Lothmon Kaka stopped, and then slammed the side of his head into the stalagmites beside him a few times.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. ”
Sherlock counted the crashes beneath him, one, two??? all the way to the fifth, then he stood up from Kaka's back and shouted to the caravan behind him.
"Dear fellow caravans, we are about to walk out of the stalagmite forest, and there is a vault with water and mushrooms waiting for us in front of us. ”
Immediately the whole caravan cheered, having been trekking through the rugged stalagmite forest for many days, and the tired caravan was in need of a good environment to rest and recuperate.
However, Zhu Ba did not join in the cheers of the crowd, he felt the prying eyes, and the unprecedentedly strong feeling of being peeping swept over Zhu Ba's whole body, and then immediately disappeared without a trace.
“**!”
Zhu Ba's thoughts immediately radiated out at the same time as he was snooped, but he didn't find anything, he cursed secretly in annoyance, and slowly moved forward with the large army.
After only walking less than thirty steps, Zhu Ba's eyes immediately brightened.
The oppressive rock dome of the stalagmite forest suddenly rose to a height that required looking up, and fluorescent fluorescence flickered on the crystals on the rock dome of thousands of feet. A few steps further, a lake with a flashing blue light appeared in front of Zhu Ba, all kinds of fluorescent fish in the lake water chased each other, and the mushrooms on the lakeside were layered on top of each other, from the size of the palm of the hand to the hugging of several people, dozens of feet high, these mushrooms that also emitted fluorescence formed another kind of forest, a kind of forest full of life, and the stalagmite forest in a completely different state.
"You're satisfied, aren't you? ”
Sherlock stood on Kaka's back and stretched out his arms to the caravan members.
The shrill laughter of goblins echoed across the lake, in the mushroom forest, and spread farther and farther. But Zhu Ba felt the feeling of being spied on again, and it was even stronger than just now.
"Be careful!"
That snooping gaze suddenly shifted to the goblin Sherlock on the back of Los Beast Kaka in Zhu Ba's feelings, and Zhu Ba roared to remind everyone, and at the same time, a powerful jump grabbed Sherlock from the back of Los Beast into his arms.
"Bajie, what are you doing!?"
Sherlock was in a feeling good state, and when he was caught by Zhu Ba, he immediately got dizzy, and he angrily crawled out of Zhu Ba's arms and grabbed Zhu Ba's neck hard.
The little strength of the goblin couldn't have any adverse effect on Zhu Ba at all, and he was looking at the back of the Lothmon where Sherlock was originally standing with a solemn expression.
At this moment stood a monster with a huge body, compound eyes and a sharp beak, sharp claws and a hard shell, and its sharp claws pierced the thick skin of the Lothmon Kaka, who was slowly bleeding and screaming.
Sherlock followed Zhu Ba's line of sight and saw the monster as well, and he screamed the monster's name like a fingernail across the glass.
"Dreadclaw!How could it be a dreadclaw!" (To be continued.) )
