Chapter 317: Copper Snake Iron Dog!
"By the way, a copy of the nine-turn large intestine sashimi."
An old woman's hoarse voice came from the staircase.
"Yes, mother-in-law."
At the door of the kitchen, a green and thin monster hurriedly ran to the kitchen carrying a cage covered with a cloth, not noticing Li Ran hiding behind the door.
The green monster is a kappa with thin hands and feet, but he moves very quickly.
Kappa had a crazy smile on his face, as if he was extremely keen on cooking, and his small eyes shone with a burning light.
Hiding behind the door, Li Ran looked solemn, and his gaze swept over the kappa.
(The Chef of the Bathhouse)
(Tier B Psycho Infector)
(Stamina: 24000)
(As long as the mother-in-law of the Bathhouse is happy, the mother-in-law will reward her with extra life time.) )
(Cautious, it doesn't allow itself to make the slightest mistake, especially when it comes to cooking.) )
All the information about the kappa chef is in full view.
Li Ran hid behind the door and glanced at the time on his arm.
499:38:25
Although the time lapse of the first hour in the inner world and the watch world is the same, Li Ran still feels that the loss of time is as inexplicable as flowing water.
"Grandma, is it almost half an hour after just a while?"
He still thinks that time will inexplicably speed up the loss of time in the inner world.
"Tuk Tuk!!"
The kappa is thin and small, but his hands and feet are very sharp, and he skillfully brings a set of horseshoe knives on the cutting board with two kitchen knives.
Li Ran, who was hiding behind the door, was curious about what the small cage that the kappa carried into the kitchen contained?
Although he had some bad conjectures in his head, he still thought that seeing was better than believing.
Kappa cooks very quickly, and every step is meticulous and unorganized.
After about ten minutes, a few dishes were ready.
Kappa put all the dishes in a tray and headed out of the kitchen.
But halfway through, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the door beside him suspiciously.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed, and its eyes went black, and it lost consciousness in an instant.
"Damn, it still found out." Li Ran scolded secretly in his heart.
The moment he killed the kappa, Li Ran immediately caught the tray that was about to fall to the ground.
The food on the tray almost fell to the ground.
Li Ran placed a few dishes on the tray on the table, and then placed the kappa's body behind the door.
After doing all this, Li Ran carefully walked under the console with an umbrella.
The cloth in the cage was lifted.
His mission is to save the child.
As long as you find the ramen shop proprietor's child and bring it back, you're done.
So he couldn't wait to find out if the cage was the ramen shop owner's child.
When he opened the black cloth in the cage and saw it clearly, Li Ran's brows furrowed.
Inside the cage lay a small child.
There was a shocking bloody wound on his chest.
Grass!
Li Ran greeted the whole family of the mother-in-law of the Dark Soup House in his heart.
It turns out that the kappa makes all the dishes with ......
Thinking back to the dishes that Kappa just said, Li Ran shuddered inexplicably.
Eating people and drinking blood, knocking bones and sucking marrow?
It turns out that what the prompt says is true.
He even misinterpreted it as oppression?
It's that he underestimates the cruelty of the world too much.
In other words, the children who have been stolen from the table world will be sent to the soup house, and finally become the appetizer of the mother-in-law?
Is it just to eat children?
Although the child in the cage was a child, it was not the child Li Ran was looking for.
Otherwise, the task fails.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and the hoarse voice came again: "Why is the old body's food not good?" ”
Li Ran secretly screamed that it was not good.
The kappa cook was killed by him, and now there is no cook in the Stygian Soup House.
If he doesn't bring the food upstairs, he will definitely be exposed.
And the quest is not complete, and the treasure has not yet been found.
Now he only hopes that his mother-in-law is blind, deaf and can't see him.
"Wow! For! For! ”
Heavy hurried footsteps could be heard at the staircase.
Oops, downstairs!
One was dressed in a black robe, with a rickety figure and a huge head, its skin loose and loose like melted candle oil, and it was such a wrinkled skin with a fierce expression like that of an old witch of the Black Forest.
Its hair was coiled high like a black plate on its head, and its hands peeking out of its black robe were thin and shaped like dry branches.
Walking down the stairs, he staggered to the kitchen, glaring fiercely at the kappa cook who came with a tray.
"How dare you disobey the old man's orders?"
The ghost mother-in-law of the Stygian Soup House stretched out her twig-like paws to teach the kappa a lesson.
"It's done, mother-in-law." Kappa handed the tray to the ghost mother-in-law, and her voice began to tremble in fear.
"Don't you know that old age is precious?" The ghost mother-in-law snorted coldly.
Kappa explained in a trembling voice, "Mother...... Mother-in-law, today's small sharpening of the knife has delayed some effort. ”
"In the future, don't use this kind of trivial matter to occupy the old body's meal time, the old body's time is very precious."
"There won't be a next time, mother-in-law." Kappa said.
"You don't need to send it upstairs today, you can go to the backyard and feed the pig food to the little baby."
"By the way, you haven't always wanted the old body to give you another job, this time there happens to be a vacancy in the soup room, and you will go to work in the soup room after you finish making lunch for the old body in the future."
After saying that, the ghost mother threw a wooden sign with the word "soup" written on it to the kappa.
"Thank you...... Thank you, mother-in-law. ”
The ghost granny walked in the direction of the corridor with the tray, making a piercing chewing sound as she went.
"Today's large intestine sashimi has not been cleaned, but the old body likes it."
When Granny Oni was gone, Kappa picked up the cage and wooden sign under the table and walked to the back door of the kitchen.
"Oh, it's so dangerous, it's good to get through the trick." Li Ran said in his heart.
He had Miss Saori absorb the kappa's blood and give him a layer of demon skin.
Wearing this nightmare skin, you can do it with the fake.
At the beginning, Li Ran's golden finger at Cangming Airport couldn't be seen, and this ghost mother-in-law could see that it was fake, and there was a ghost.
And got the tip of the gold finger.
There is no need to hold an umbrella to become a strange appearance, because the Nightmare Skin has completely absorbed the strange characteristics of the inner world.
This was something Li Ran did not expect.
Holding an umbrella, Li Ran always felt constrained and unable to show his skills.
In this way, he no longer needs to hold an umbrella, and he can use the Nightmare Skin to walk in the inner world.
Just now, Li Ran was ready to fight to the death, if he was found out by the ghost mother-in-law.
But fortunately, he had a reason to prevaricate.
Li Ran was glad that he didn't kill Kappa before he could finish the meal, as if he did, he would not only expose the intruders in the Soup House, but also put himself to death.
Come to the back kitchen and open the back kitchen door.
Suddenly, a bloody wind and blood rain rushed to his face.
"This, this is ......" Li Ran raised his head with an incredulous expression.
The knife stone is horizontal, and the sharp cliff is like a tooth.
The water roared, and a huge blood-colored waterfall rushed down into the sky.
On a cliff protruding from the ravine on the west side of the waterfall, it is like a wolf's tooth in the sky.
The wooden house stands on top of a cliff.
Li Ran carried the cage to the edge of the dragon's tooth crossstone.
There is a long and narrow feldspar trough on the edge of the cliff, and there is a pipe hole on the other side of the trough that flows into the bottom of the waterfall.
What Li Ran had to do was to pour the "pig food" in the iron bucket into the trough.
The so-called pig food has long been replaced by Li Ran's corpse with a kappa.
And at this moment, it seemed to respond to his inner doubts.
"Ah~~~~"
A terrifying long hiss penetrated the huge waterfall sound, and a huge bronze snake shadow more than ten zhang long arched in the huge waterfall, the snake shadow meandered up, the waterfall splashed, and the huge head was reflected behind the silver-white waterfall curtain, and only the reflected head was the size of a wooden house on the cliff.
Through the galloping waterfall curtain, Li Ran stood in shock.
He didn't dare to move, and he didn't dare to breathe.
One man, one snake, still!
Despite the huge waterfall, he could feel the bronze serpent inside the waterfall watching him.
For a long time, the huge bronze snake shadow behind the waterfall curtain slowly sank into the tumbling water vapor.
Li Ran found that he was soaked all over, and he couldn't tell whether it was caused by cold sweat or water mist.
At the right time, he felt that he was enveloped by an extremely terrifying coercion, and the invisible sense of oppression made him feel that he was the prey and was being targeted by a tiger.
(Drop the carcass in the cage into the trough to feed the Copper Snake and Iron Dog.) )
Li Ran followed the prompt, opened the cage, and threw the body of the cook kappa into the trough, and the body slid into the waterfall along the pipe of a section of the trough.
The kappa's body was quickly submerged in a sea of blood by the waterfall.
"Boom Boom !!"
"Wow !!"
Under the waterfall is the sound of two little babies fighting for food, and then two hideous figures on the waterfall are entangled together.
Seeing this scene, Li Ran couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"What the hell is under this waterfall?"
Iron Dog Copper Snake?
He seemed to have seen a similar setting in a certain book, but for a moment, he couldn't remember it.
After feeding, Li Ran returned to the kitchen.
Sense of God!
Using his divine sense, Li Ran found that the ghost mother-in-law of the Door Dark Soup House had left.
There's nothing weird left in the cabin.
It seems that this small cabin is just a dining hall and a resting place for the ghost mother-in-law.
Li Ran walked up the stairs to the second floor, which belonged to a small attic with a bed in it.
There's something like a scanner on the bed.
This type of scanner Li Ran has seen in some stores in the watch world.
It is a device issued by the time bank that can store life time, which can be used for transactions or shopping, and if you need to extract the time inside, you can simply point the scanner at your arm.
Is the ghost mother-in-law in this injection time?
And the ghost woman has always emphasized that its time is precious.
Is it here for injection time and eating?
This little cabin is just a canteen for the ghost woman?
"Where is the stolen child?"
Li Ran returned to the first floor and looked at the corridor leading to the cliff.
He glanced at the time.
499:18:14
"Damn, time flies really fast."
Lee then gritted his molars and walked towards the corridor.
Push open the two-page door and walk into the corridor.
He constantly scanned the sea cliff area with his senses, and put on see-through glasses to observe the structure of the cliff face.
"It turns out that the secret is all in the sea cliff!"
From his position, the entire structure within the cliff face could be seen at a glance.
Li Ran saw that there were multiple caves on the cliff wall, one cave leading to the bottom of the cliff, extending to the ground like a mine cave, reaching a place deeper than the ocean, and the burly and tall monsters carried large vats in and out of the caves.
The cave is too deep for see-through glasses to see into the depths of the cave.
But Li Ran felt that those labor-like monsters were likely to enter the seabed through the cave on the cliff wall to collect some minerals, and he used his see-through glasses to see that the inside of the vat was full of white crystal rocks, and then the ghosts transported it to another huge cave on the rock wall.
This cave is where Li Ran's promenade is directly opposite, but after arriving at the cliff wall through the promenade, he needs to take the elevator in the passage inside the cliff wall to enter.
Walking through the corridor to the inside of the cliff, Li Ran came to a ladder well with an elevator.
There is a lever next to it, and when you pull it, the elevator will slowly reach his area.
Li Ran thought that the stolen child was probably in the huge cave.
There are many strange people in the cave, who are forced to do some hard work like oppressed laborers.
He now has a nightmare skin, and he has the strange aura of the inner world on his body, so he doesn't have to be afraid of being discovered.
"Little Butterfly, will you guide me there, too?"
The phoenix butterfly on the back of his hand slowly flapped its wings, guiding it to continue walking.
Pull the lever.
With the piercing sound of chains, the rudimentary ladder slowly descended from the vertical passage of the mountain.
"The kitchen is located on the lower cliff, and under the lower cliff is a waterfall, and under the sea there is a bronze serpent......"
Li Ran built a three-dimensional simulation map in his mind so that he could quickly familiarize himself with the terrain.
The lock ladder goes up vertically, about a minute later.
The lock ladder slowly stopped, and a horizontal passage appeared on the middle floor of the lock ladder passage, and a crooked wooden sign above the passage reads the word "soup room".
"I'd like to see what kind of soup is brewed in this soup room?"
Going deeper into the passage, it didn't take long for a noisy sound to come from ahead, like the noise of a market.
A light appeared in front of him, and Li Ran continued to walk forward.
"Who?"
At the door, two people with bandages wrapped around their bodies and holding spears blocked Li Ran's way.
Mummy Guards?
Li Ran came up with such a word coldly in his mind.
Maybe it's because of the terrifying sense of oppression of the ghost mother-in-law, and it's obviously not so nervous to see these little minions again.
The two mummified warriors were apparently the doormen.
Li Ran calmly took out the sign of the soup room.
Seeing the sign, the two mummified guards immediately let them go.
Put away the sign, Li Ran also has a bottom in his heart, it seems that he needs a pass like a sign to go anywhere.
I just don't know if I want a pass where the treasure is.
Entering the soup room, Li Ran was immediately shocked by an incomparably huge bronze bowl in front of him, the bronze bowl was about fifteen zhang high and about twenty zhang wide, with an inverted trapezoidal structure, narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, and a boiler room was connected below the bottom.
Li Ran couldn't see the whole picture above the bronze bowl, and thought that the container for boiling soup in the soup room was the incomparably huge bronze bowl in front of him.
The whole soup room was built in an incomparably large karst cave, and after the cave was transformed, there were many irregular niches around it, and all kinds of utensils, large vats and cages were placed.
There are two arc-shaped stairs on both sides of the bronze bowl, through which you can climb to the top of the bronze bowl, Li Ran saw someone carrying a basin or carrying a bucket to climb up the stairs, and when you climb to the top, you can't see it, but you can hear the heavy grinding sound.
In the boiler room, two swarthy, dwarf-like pyrotechnics alternately take charge of the fire.
On the right side of the boiler room, there is a bamboo conveyor belt, on which baskets of grass and fruits are transported to the top of the bronze bowl......
"New here?"
There was a small door under the huge boiler, and a one-eyed dragon monster shouted at Li Ran at the small door, his voice was very rough, drowning out all the noise in the cave.
Li Ran pointed to himself and asked suspiciously, "Call me?" ”
"Yes, it's you, come here!"
Li Ran came to the boiler room, and the one-eyed dragon ghost took a look at the wooden sign handed by Li Ran and gave it back to him.
"This should be the butler of the soup room." Li Ran said in his heart.
The steward of the soup room was a one-eyed dragon-faced demon, with two sharp teeth exposed, and a whip covered with iron nails in his hand, which looked like he couldn't be provoked.
Offending him will never end well.
It's like a leader who enslaves miners, and if he hits his body with a whip, he won't break his flesh.
"From now on, you will be responsible for the collection of tear bottles." The steward said.
Li Ran responded respectfully, but in order to make himself better, he felt the need to remind the steward so as not to be bullied in the soup room.
"Lord Steward, my mother-in-law has to eat my cooking every day, and I have to leave when the hour comes." Li Ran said.
The soup room is tightly controlled, and it is not completely free to come and go, if you are enslaved in the soup room and cannot go anywhere, how to find treasures, how to save children.
"What did my mother-in-law say?" The steward was suspicious.
"Yes, you can ask your mother-in-law." Li Ran replied truthfully.
Hearing this, the steward smiled slightly on his black face, beckoned someone to summon him, and said, "Luo Gong, you bring more, if you don't understand, just ask Luo Gong." ”
"Okay." Li Ran said.
Luo Gong is a strange man with green skin, tendons, and three eyes, it is hunched back, like an old master, its face is full of wrinkles, and its eyes are very cloudy, as if it has experienced a lot and seems to have seen everything.
He took Li Ran to the area where the clay jar was stored in the alcove.
"In the future, you will be responsible for the collection work, and you will not need to do the heavy work." Luo Gong pointed to the warehouse laborer who was carrying the clay cylinder not far away and said.
After getting the steward's signal, Luo Gong was obviously very good.
Li Ran nodded, and looked curiously at the clay jars in the alcove, the clay jars were neatly arranged, the bottom clay jar was one zhang high, and the top one was only the size of a basketball.
The only thing in common is that there is a faucet-like device at the bottom of the clay tank, much like a beer barrel in a bar, but Li Ran doesn't think it's filled with wine.
"Luo Gong, what's in here?" Li Ran couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Tear tank, what do you say?" Luo Gong said lightly.
Li Ran opened his mouth wide in surprise, looked at the clay jar on the front wall, and said, "This whole wall clay jar is full of tears?" ”
"Where do the tears come from?"
Luo Gong pushed a ladder and said to Li Ran: "You can go up and take a look." ”
Luo Gong, who was not smiling, had a treacherous smile on the corner of his mouth at this time, which made Li Ran feel a bad feeling.
But he really wanted to know what was inside the crockpot.
Driven by strong curiosity, Li Ran climbed the stairs and came to a tear tank.
He slowly lifted the lid of the tear jar and lowered his head to look into the gap.
The tear tank was dark and smelled foul......
Suddenly, Li Ran's pupils trembled, and a pair of bloodshot eyes came into his eyes!
