In the middle of the forest, there was silence.

Ogis put down the carving knife in her hand and looked at the doll in her hand intently, her eyes full of an inexplicable emotion.

"How? What do you think? ”

Not far away, the blonde girl was drinking black tea while looking at Ogis and asked.

"Feel......... Very strange. ”

Ogis muttered to herself as she reached out and gently stroked the surface of the doll.

"I've never felt it this way before, touching it with my fingers, feeling its presence, carving a piece of wood into a completely different shape, as if it had turned it into a completely different life............... Was this the case when my master made me? ”

"I don't know."

The blonde girl put down the teacup, and then saw a small and cute puppet carrying a teapot in front of her, and refilled the blonde girl's cup of tea.

"Even if you are a puppeteer, everyone has different ideas, and the purpose and idea of making dolls are the same. But now, you have to remember who you are, you are no longer created, you have the talent to create, then you should think about how to use that talent........."

"Creative Talent ..............."

Hearing the blonde girl's point, a thoughtful look appeared in Ogis's eyes, and she lowered her head to look at the half-formed doll in her hand.

"What I need ...... talents"

Staring at the doll, Ogis fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Duanmu locust is enjoying ......... Or nostalgia.

"I didn't expect to revisit a public bathhouse here, how long has it been since I've been to such a place?"

Looking at the dilapidated bathhouse in front of him, Duanmu Huai was speechless. Because of the purchase of the skill book today, he and Lorena almost spent all their dueling points, and finally had to rent two dilapidated apartments, but there was nothing in this apartment except beds and toilets, and if you want to take a bath, you have to go to a nearby bathhouse——— if you know this, Duanmu Huai should save a little more duel points, and it won't be miserable.

"I must earn more points tomorrow, at least I have to live in a normal place.........

While muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai walked into the bath.

Not long after Duanmu Huai walked into the bathhouse, soon, two more figures appeared outside the bathhouse.

"Really, why do I have to come to a place like this?"

Looking at the bath in front of him, a man with black hair and a ponytail complained dissatisfied.

"Because the duel broke the dojo and the water pipeline, it took time to repair it, and there was no way to do it."

Hearing his companion's complaints, a blonde man in a Taoist uniform next to him replied.

"Extreme Flow is also a great avenue field, can't you be more careful in this regard?"

"If you want to complain, go to Daddy and complain, Robert."

"Uh......... That's still it. ”

Appearing at the entrance of the bath were Ryo Sakazaki and Robert from Extreme Stream. Garcia, who is a master of the extreme stream, is also a guest at this dueling tournament. The reason why I came here today was because I accidentally broke the water pipe line during a duel in the dojo, and as a result, I was not only reprimanded by my sister Yuri Sakazaki, but also kicked out, and in desperation, the two had to go to the bath near the dojo to take a bath.

However, when the two of them took off their clothes and walked into the bath, they were surprised to find that there were several people standing outside the bath, they were naked, looking inside hesitantly, as if they didn't know whether to go in or not.

"What's going on?"

"Just ask."

Seeing this scene, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert were also puzzled, they walked to the door, and then Robert patted one of them on the shoulder.

"Hey, what are you looking at here? There were no women in it. ”

"Woo! Ah, you are the ............... of the limit stream."

was patted on the shoulder by Robert, and the guests outside were also startled, and when they turned around and saw Ryo Sakazaki and Robert, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, you don't know......... There was a terrible person in the bath, and we didn't dare to go in. ”

"Terrible people?"

Hearing this, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert glanced at each other.

"That's right, it looks like an underworld ......... Everyone was afraid of him, so they didn't dare to go in the bath, I said, could this be some kind of underworld trick, scare the customers away, and then ask the store for benefits or something........."

"And this kind of thing?!"

Hearing this, the two suddenly couldn't help it.

"Let's take a look."

As he spoke, Ryo Sakazaki strode into the bath, and Robert followed.

The huge bath was empty, and there was no one in it, and it was evident that, as the guests had said, the other guests were scared away.

Who the hell is it that actually makes such a bad move.

Seeing this scene, Sakazaki Liang frowned, in his opinion, this is obviously not a decent behavior, this is just a dilapidated and ancient bathhouse, those underworld actually don't even let go of this kind of place, it is too much!

So, what about the key people?

"Hey, good, look over there."

Just as Sakazaki looked left and right to find the culprit, Robert whispered in his ear while raising his chin in front of him. Sakazaki looked in the direction Robert had indicated, and then ——— was taken aback.

I saw that in the hot spring bath, a huge black shadow was sitting there, under the illumination of the light, you could see the bulging muscles of the other party, and the brown skin, and what was even worse, the other party was just sitting, feeling as tall as they were standing!

Is this still human?!

Even the battle-hardened Sakazaki Ryo and Robert were taken aback at this moment, although it was true that the guests outside just now said that this guy was very fierce, but at that time they only thought that the other party had a bad attitude, but now that they look at it, the two of them are also scared, especially the fierce face, obviously he is closing his eyes, but I don't know why, but it brings the two of them an unprecedented sense of oppression and deterrence.

It was as if they were not in a bath, but in a cave in the mountains, facing a sleeping tiger!

No, I'm afraid the tiger is better to deal with!

Unconsciously, the two of them even lightened their breathing, as if they were instinctively afraid of the man in front of them, even for fear of waking him up.

Wait, no!

It was at this time that the two of them came back to their senses.

They are extreme martial artists, how can they be scared by one person like this!

If this gets out, how are they going to mess around?!

"I'm going to come forward and say that what he's doing is simply causing trouble to the store!"

Sakazaki gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, looked at the man and whispered. Although he forced himself to compose, the figure with a strange sense of intimidation, just sitting there was enough to make him nervous. In fact, now Sakazaki Ryo has unconsciously entered the combat mode, and at the moment he even feels more nervous than competing in the dueling arena.

"Be careful."

Robert also clenched his fists and whispered, while he chuckled.

"However, don't worry too much, I've seen a lot of this kind of big guy, and they are all strong outsiders and middle-class cadres. It's not worth mentioning at all........."

"Uh-huh..............."

Hearing Robert's words, Sakazaki nodded, and then he took a deep breath and walked over.

"Hey, you're .........!"

"Huh?"

Hearing someone calling himself, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and looked ahead, and when he saw these two people, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn't this Ryo Sakazaki and Robert?

You don't know them well, do you? What are they looking for themselves?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at the two.

"What's the matter?"

“———————！！”

What a look this is!

What Ryo Sakazaki and Robert didn't expect was that when the other party opened their eyes and looked at them, they suddenly felt an unprecedented horror! It's as if it's not a human at all, it's a dragon! At this moment, it even opened its eyes and was staring at its own tiny creatures, as if it wanted to devour them completely!

Who the hell is this!

Robert even took a step back and put on a battle posture. It's not that he's belligerent, but that his body instinctively senses the danger and spontaneously chooses to resist.

Because if ——— don't resist, you'll die!!

"You............... Are you a martial artist? ”

Facing the gaze of the upper acacia, Sakazaki Liang also trembled, but he still forcibly calmed down and asked.

"That's right, could it be that the two of you want to make an appointment?"

Duanmu Huai nodded, and then asked, this is not surprising, after all, in the duel city, after the player wins the game, his reputation will increase, and when his reputation is high, there will be people who will challenge him. It's just that Duanmuhuai didn't expect that he would be selected——— after all, these two are also all-star roles, and it stands to reason that he will have to brush up his reputation to a certain level before he will receive their challenge invitation.

】

"Ah......... Well! ”

As soon as Sakazaki said this, he realized that there was no turning back, so he nodded.

"Tomorrow, Extreme Flow Dojo, we will wait for you!"

"No problem."

Duanmu Huai didn't doubt him, and nodded, the Extreme Flow Dojo can be regarded as a place of interest for players to check in, and he was able to receive an invitation——— so it was really not in vain.

"Then, I'll see you at the dojo tomorrow."

After saying this, Sakazaki Ryo and Robert began to step back cautiously, and seeing that the two were about to leave, Duanmu Huai also stood up out of politeness and nodded to the two.

"Okay, I see, I'll go to the dojo tomorrow to disturb......... Oh yo. ”

Just as he was talking, the bath towel on Duanmu Huai's waist suddenly fell off, and Duanmu Huai also subconsciously lowered his head to pick it up, and when he picked up the bath towel and raised his head, he saw that Sakazaki Liang and Robert were gone.

That's it? But it's not really a place to talk.

Duanmu Huai scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders, and sat down again.

Tomorrow, let's go to the Dojo of the Extreme Flow.

Just when Duanmu Huai closed his eyes again and enjoyed the hot spring bath, at this moment in the bathroom outside, Sakazaki Liang and Robert were leaning against the wall, their faces pale, panting for breath.

"Hey......... Robert, did you see that? ”

"See......... What's that?! Is that what humans should have? ”

Recalling the scene he had just seen, Robert couldn't help but tremble.

What a vicious dragon that is! Does this kind of thing really exist in the world?!

Thinking of this, Robert looked down, and then fell into a dejected ———— in front of the dragon, he was just a weak little green worm.

"Don't give up!"

Ryo Sakazaki reached out, grabbed Robert's shoulder, and glared at him.

"We haven't lost yet! The battle of men has just begun! Tomorrow, in the Extreme Flow Dojo, we will defeat him! Pull yourself together! Robert! Don't give in to fear!! ”

“……… Ahh ”

Hearing Sakazaki Ryo's encouragement, Robert's originally dark eyes gradually regained their brightness.

"Thank you......... I'm not going to give in like that! ”

As he spoke, Robert looked at the door of the bathhouse in front of him.

"Tomorrow is the real battle!"
