Chapter 222: Poison City
The teleportation light flashed, and Chi Lin and the others came to an open square, and on the side, the old butler Shu Zhe was already waiting.
"Steward Shu Zhe, I'm back, is the old man there?" asked Peng Nuo.
Shu Zhe shook his head and said, "The city lord is not in Poison City, he has just gone out for some things, but he said that he will come back soon." ”
At this time, Futani suddenly said, "I'm hungry, Penno, do you have anything to eat?"
Peng Nuo nodded and said, "Of course there is, okay, since the old man is not here, then I will take my partners to Poison Street to have a look, Shu Zhe, the old housekeeper, help me prepare a few rooms for them, I will go first." ”
"A few of you, hurry up and protect the young city lord!" Shu Zhe said to a few guards behind him.
Peng Nuo took Chi Lin and them to walk in the poison city, and the buildings here were filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, which was light and fresh, giving people a feeling of relaxation.
Peng Nuo said with a smile: "Smell this medicinal fragrance everywhere in this city, right?" This is a flower fragrance called Xiang Shan wood, the building materials of all the buildings in the Poison City, will be soaked in this Xiang Shan flower water for more than three years before being used to build a house, so that the construction of the Poison City itself has the effect of the Xiang Tree flower, which can purify the poisonous gas in this city, after all, this city has countless poison pharmacists from all sides, it can be said that the whole city is a poisonous world, if not, this city is estimated that ordinary people dare not approach. ”
"Haha, the city of the poison master, it is indeed unreasonable to say that it is not a little poisonous, but this whole city was built after soaking the flowers of this fragrant wood, which is really generous, I think this poison city should be quite large, right?" asked Futani with a smile.
"That's right, the entire poison city is a huge city that can accommodate hundreds of billions of people, such a huge city, even in the high-level plane is rare, if it weren't for a huge incense tree forest outside the city, the poison city would be difficult to establish, the flowers of the incense city can quickly dissipate all kinds of toxins floating in the air, so although the poison city is the world of the poison master, but there is no need to worry about any danger in the poison city. Peng Nuo said proudly.
"Hundreds of billions of people, just above the advanced plane, can there be a city with a population of hundreds of billions, right?" Chi Lin exclaimed: "So we may not be able to finish this city in a month, right?"
Peng Nuo said with a smile: "This is natural, but now what we are going to is a must-visit place for tourists from outside the entire Poison City, called Poison Street, there, there are things unique to our Poison City, guess what?"
"I don't know what it is, but it's still food, right?" Chi Lin said with a smile.
Peng Nuo smiled in surprise and said: "Boss Chi Lin is really powerful, that's right, the most famous thing in Poison Street is food, but it is the famous poisonous food in Poison City! Any food shop here, the food sold in it must be highly poisonous!"
"Poisonous, food, is this filling or murder?" Chi Lin teased.
Peng Nuo said with a smile: "This is the characteristic of the Poison City, in fact, these shops are all poison gourmets, in fact, in countless planes, many plants or animals with strong toxicity, in fact, their taste is extremely delicious, just because of the strong poison, so no one dares to eat these things." It's just that for those greedy poison apothecaries, even if these delicious ingredients are highly poisonous, how can they resist their hearts that pursue food?"
"So these poison masters used these highly poisonous ingredients to make food?" Chi Lin asked, "Who else would dare to eat such food when the poison master came out?"
Peng Nuo chuckled: "Isn't it, so these poison masters, generally make every poisonous food, will make an antidote to this poisonous food, otherwise how can the poisonous food of the poisonous street form a characteristic of the poisonous city? Without the antidote, it is estimated that no one will dare to eat it, right? But if there is an antidote to poisonous food, many people dare to eat it." ”
"It seems that there are still many people who don't even want their lives in order to pursue food. Chi Lin said with a smile.
"Haha, it's not that they don't want their lives, in fact, the poisonous food in the poison city is a kind of culture of the poison pharmacist, in fact, every poisonous food has its antidote, and most of them are eaten by the poison master, so there are very few people who die because of the poisonous food every year. Penno said with a smile.
Chi Lin was surprised and asked, "Why? Since these poisonous foods have antidotes, why do people die like this every year?"
Nodding, Peng Nuo said: "That's natural, because there is a rule for poisonous food in Poison Street, and the antidote to a piece of food is a hundred times the price of the food itself!"
"A hundredfold? What kind of rule is this?" asked in a puzzled voice, "Isn't this the behavior of profiteers?" Giving others poisonous food is a hundred times the antidote to the food itself. ”
Peng Nuo explained: "This is the rule of the poison street, in fact, the reason why there is this rule is to let the poison masters test how strong their resistance to poison is, which can be regarded as a strange way of communication for poison masters." ”
"Then I really have to take a good look, I don't know which of us has the strongest poison resistance, so let's compare. Silent smiled and suggested.
Peng Nuo hurriedly stopped: "Don't do this, because it's useless to compete like this, after all, everyone comes from different planes." ”
Silence looked at Peng Nuo and asked, "Is there a difference between this?"
Peng Nuo said affirmatively: "There must be a difference in this, because the physique of people in different planes is not the same, and the natural resistance to different poisons is also different. ”
"Wow, poison has become a tonic? is it really fake?" Chi Lin also asked with interest.
"Of course, there is also the phenomenon that after the grain from one plane is transported to another plane, it becomes a highly toxic thing in another plane, so in different planes, things like food and potions are things that need special attention before they can be used, unless they are completely 'qualitative' things, for example, the medicine of a pharmacist like me belongs to this category, the so-called qualitative is something whose effect is completely determined, and no matter what kind of physique a person uses, the effect will remain the same. Peng Nuo said proudly: "It is rare to have qualitative things, and some of them will even have to abandon the pharmacist because the pharmacist's potion is ineffective." ”
Everyone said, but they had already come to a street, because the teleportation array of the poison city was in the center of the city, and the poison street was one of the characteristics of the poison city, so it was very close to the teleportation array.
Coming to the Poison Street, Peng Nuo acted as a guide: "This Poison Street actually has a total of nine in the Poison City, corresponding to the strength of the first to the ninth order, after all, the poisonous food that can have an effect on the ninth order is probably going to die before taking the antidote, plus your first time, I will just go to the fourth order strength of the poison street to take a look." ”
When they came to this street, Chi Lin and they felt that it was indeed bustling, and the streets were full of shops of various architectural styles, which indicated that these buildings were from different planes, and Peng Nuo took Chi Lin and them to move forward casually.
"Notice that there is a skull sign in front of these shops?" asked Penno with a smile.
Chi Lin and the others took a closer look, and sure enough, they saw that there was a skull hanging at the door of each shop, but the color of these skulls was dark and light, and they didn't know what it meant.
The size of the skull represents the toxicity of the store's poisonous food, that is to say, the stronger the toxicity of the store's poisonous food, the larger the skull, and the smaller the reverse, the less toxic it is, and then the color of the skull represents the taste of the store's poisonous food, anyway, the darker the store, the more delicious the poisonous food inside. Penno explained.
They looked left and right, looking for the shops they thought were suitable, because most of them were fifth-order, in this fourth-order drug street, they naturally had some confidence, so they soon chose a shop with a very dark skull, the skeleton in front of this shop was already dark gray, almost black, but the skull in this shop was really not small, and it was nearly the size of a window.
This is a very famous poisonous food shop in the entire drug street, but because the poisonous food in this store is too toxic, there are not many customers in this store.
Peng Nuo and they found a side seat and sat down, and then Peng Nuo took the recipe, and then exclaimed: "Amazing, this shop has more than forty poisoned food, it seems that this shop is really not simple, but we can't eat so much, let's come to these, all of them need antidotes." Penno ordered a dozen dishes in a row, and then the waiter quickly went down to prepare.
Soon the waiter took out a gray crystal ball, just when everyone was puzzled, Peng Nuo said with a smile: "This is a body examination stone, it is used to test the body, mainly to test everyone's physique, if it reacts with this crystal stone, it means that there is a greater conflict with the poisonous food of this restaurant, then it is best not to eat the food of this restaurant, although it is not very accurate, but this is also a way to protect diners." ”
Chi Lin and they nodded knowingly, and then each sent some energy into the crystal ball, and the test result was that everyone's system was okay, and there was no problem.
Because the poisonous food is made to order, the time to serve the food is relatively slow, but it is not too long, a table of rich feast has been placed in front of everyone, although this table of food is full of aroma, but the same is also poisonous gas lingering.
