Chapter 3 The Embarrassment
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and many of the vendors setting up stalls along the street had already gone home. A few of them also put up parasols and turned on fans to enjoy the coolness. It was only after lunch that the whole town became lazy. This was a rare moment in the day.
Enjoyable time.
Even many hunters were fast asleep in their dormitories. Beer cans were all over the floor, chicken legs and other broken bones were on the table. It was a mess, and the room smelled of alcohol.
"Ouch~~~~"
A miserable scream spread throughout the town, and many residents who were still sleeping soundly were woken up. They opened the windows and roared without looking in the direction.
Some of those who slept like dead pigs were still drooling, waving their hands in the air, opening and closing as if they were kneading something, and mumbling words, wondering what sweet dreams they were having...
The old people, who were fanning their cattail fans with their eyes slightly closed, were startled at first, but then they realized something and returned to their leisurely state.
Hey, what's the big deal? It's not that the little devil Xu Huang has tricked Xu Qing again, and he somewhat sympathizes with the little guy Xu Qing, no, I should say it's a big guy. Why does he have such a "guardian"...
"Hey, hey, hey, don't be so loud, it will disturb everyone's lunch break. Didn't I tell you to eat slowly? If you don't listen, your kindness will not be rewarded..."
The green-armored Xilong soaked the huge lizard head in a water tank about half a man's height. The sloshing water spread all over the floor. It drank a few sips of water, but its tongue was still burning, as if it had been rubbed with a razor.
pain.
It's spicy, it's so spicy that it hurts the heart. It didn't expect this bastard old man Xu Huang to be so cruel. It's so abnormally spicy!
How can such a thing exist in the world? It is simply torture, torture!!
"Baby, I don't know about your little tricks. If you want to make me vomit blood, there's no way!"
Xu Huang played with a devil's pepper in his palm and showed a devilish and sinister smile.
I still remember clearly the shock and lingering fear on Uncle Zhang's face when I smeared the chili sauce made by crushing the devil's pepper onto the barbecue half an hour ago.
Hmm... It's a bit inhumane, but that little bastard doesn't need to be talked about. It just becomes weak if it's not taken care of for a few days. Damn it, this little bastard just lacks discipline. It seems that he doesn't know how miserable other people's naughty children are.
So out of touch!
"Xu Huang, you two brats are here, but I came all the way from your house. Even me, a fire mage, is almost too hot to die when walking on the street in this damn weather!"
Just when Qingjia Xilong was furious and was about to fight Xu Huang, a burly middle-aged man walked over in a hurry, with a high-decibel voice as if he had his own stereo.
"Uh, Lao Wang, why are you here?"
After a long silence, Xu Huang asked in confusion, didn't Lao Wang make a lot of money from that warrior-level sword-backed stone tiger? Why did he come to him now? Well... he had no good intentions.
"Don't call me that title!!"
When Wang Le heard this, he immediately became furious, wondering why a little kid called him that.
On weekdays, just because of this title, the neighbors stay away from him, especially those who think their wife is beautiful, they all treat him as an enemy, with eyes that look like they want to cut him into pieces.
The most exaggerated among them is a guy with weird aesthetics. His wife, Wang Le, can only shout "hero" by looking at her appearance!
Looking at his figure, compared with his wife, Wang Le, a big man with a strong back and a strong waist, can even put aside the word "thin".
I really don’t know why that gentle man has such a unique taste. I’m afraid his wife could kill him with just one kick, and her back might be broken at home at night...
Wang Le shivered when he thought about it. His aesthetics were normal, but if he met that weird wife...
Well, he suddenly felt that some of the young people in his team were quite delicate. Bah, even if he relied on his hands for the rest of his life, he would never fall in love with that kind of woman. Are they still considered women?
"I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Uncle Wang, don't take it too seriously. I'll give you a drink to relieve your anger. Just tell me about the Wuliang, Moutai, whiskey, brandy and other things in Uncle Zhang's restaurant. I'll give them to you while the moon is dark and the wind is high.
You bring it...as long as you don't betray me then!"
Wang Le knew that this little bastard was not serious. He almost died from his anger more than once. If he took it seriously, he would lose...
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm here to catch a big fish. Are you two willing to join me?"
After calming down, Wang Le spoke in a gentle tone as much as possible, although it still sounded weird, and the sound of his breathing was like sharpening a kitchen knife.
"If there is a big deal, we must join in! How many people are there? How will the spoils be divided when the time comes!!"
As soon as he heard that there was a big fish, Xu Huang's tone became urgent. In the words of the big guys in the town, he was just greedy for money!
On weekdays, when the pretty little girls in the neighborhood saw him, their hearts would beat fast and their cheeks would turn red.
But Xu Huang didn't blink an eye, and sneaked into Aunt Liu's bun shop to buy red bean paste buns to eat...
Maybe in his eyes, the admiration of beautiful girls is not as real as the bun in his hand.
But it’s no wonder, since people don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, Xu Huang has a lot of funds for his own cultivation. He also has a big money-burning family waiting to be fed, so he is really short of money!
Moreover, an experienced hunter like Wang Le could make him think that it was a big fish activity that cost millions or even tens of millions. Even if he said he was going to kill a warrior-level monster, he would believe it.
"What are you talking about? It makes us look like gangsters meeting to negotiate a deal, but this time it is really worth a lot of money, even more profitable than the stone tiger I hunted!"
As soon as Wang Le said this, the light in Xu Huang's eyes became even brighter, and even Xu Qing, the blue-armored dragon, was drooling at the side.
But it's not because there is money to be made, it just wants to eat another warrior monster, which is a great supplement!
After eating that half of the gray rock wolf, when I woke up, I felt that my strength had slightly improved, and it hadn't been completely digested yet.
If he gets a few more attacks, he will be one step closer to a battle with the generals, and then he will have another chance to push the old man to the ground and rub him!
Moreover, the meat quality of the monsters in this mountain range is generally not bad. Whether you want to grill it, steam it, braise it, fry it...or eat the raw meat slices dipped in mustard!
Unknowingly, Xu Qing had forgotten the burning taste on his tongue, and devoted himself to studying the recipes, thinking about how to cook delicious dishes. He didn't notice that his saliva was dripping all over Xu Huang's head, and then~~~
Thunder and lightning raged over the town, accompanied by screams like slaughtering pigs...
…………
"Uncle Wang, are you sure you have to deal with these guys? I'm afraid they are a bit difficult to chew and our teeth will break!"
Xu Huangzai washed his black hair carefully and used half a bottle of Rejoice. After drying it with a hair dryer, he applied a lot of cordyceps on it to hide the smell. After disguising himself, he almost blended in with the wild plants.
"Otherwise, why would I call you two? A mid-level mage and a warrior-level beast are very important in this hunt!"
A wide river flows on the gentle grassland in the distance. Some black creatures appear from time to time in the water covered with water plants. The glimmer of sunlight refracted on the scales is also dark.
Using a telescope, Xu Huang could clearly see the giant fish with black scales. The half-open fish lips were full of sharp teeth. One moment they were exposed to the surface for air, and the next moment they had dived to the bottom of the water without a trace.
Xu Huang suddenly felt a stomachache from the black-scaled tiger fish. This kind of slave-level demon was more powerful than the piranha. According to the intelligence officer in Uncle Wang's team, there were estimated to be 40-75 of them, a crocodile weighing several tons.
I'm afraid it's not enough for them to fill the gap between their teeth.
"Although these things in the water are dangerous, they can still be killed in a protracted battle. I'm worried about those guys!"
Wang Le pointed in another direction. Xu Huang turned around and saw the dust rising hundreds of meters away. He didn't want to say anything anymore. He had no chance to retreat now.
"Ouch~~~~~"
More than twenty giant-horned antelopes were driven towards the river where the black-scaled tiger fish lurked. These servant-level monsters, which were as strong as cars, were panicked. Behind them were six or seven ferocious giants running on two legs.
A beast that looks like an Allosaurus from the Jurassic period!
Split monitor lizards are predators with peak slave-level strength. Their size is comparable to that of a truck, and there are barbs on the back of their huge feet, which can fix their bodies to their prey and continuously tear open wounds.
They are cunning and clever hunters. Under the leadership of their leader, six monitor lizards surrounded a few lone giant-horned antelopes in a semicircle, forcing them close to the river. The soil was eroded by the river water and became soft. These animals had no way to retreat.
The prey fell into the water and struggled desperately to cry for help, but other compatriots did not dare to come close.
Those black-scale tiger fish saw those antelope legs struggling in the water, and the water waves were mixed with a pungent smell.
They swung their tail fins and approached quickly. The half-meter-long monster fish opened its bloody mouth, and its serrated fangs directly tore the abdomen of the giant horned antelopes. The blood filled the lake and dyed the lake red, and the fresh internal organs were swallowed directly into the belly.
.
An exhausted semi-antelope struggled feebly and was bitten by several strong black-scaled tiger fish on its limbs. Other fish monsters swarmed in and began to spin and tear at its flesh.
Just like crocodiles, their teeth cannot chew prey directly, but must cooperate with each other to perform a "dance of death" and start a gluttonous feast.
Within a few minutes, the giant-horned antelopes were no longer alive, and the bones of the first antelope to die were already visible.
The giant lizards also joined the feast, dragging the carcass of an antelope closest to the river bank and starting to devour it. The ferocious fish monsters did not show any killing intent towards these giant lizards competing for food. After all, they were accustomed to it. They were now partners.
.
"Uncle Wang, are you sure we are here to hunt and not to seek death? At this scale, we are just here to deliver food, meat buns and dogs, and we will never come back!"
Not to mention Xu Huang and the blue-armored Xilong who was hiding behind and whose jaw dropped to the ground, even Wang Le himself felt a little panicked.
There are no less than 50 black-scaled tiger fish that have appeared in the water, and there is one warrior-level one among them, who is basically definitely the leader.
Although there are only seven monitor lizards on land, their average strength is that of a big slave, one against five is no problem. The leader's strength is also at the warrior level, and is more than a star and a half stronger than the one in the water.
These two teams have learned to cooperate in hunting, and their IQs are definitely not low. Is this... is there still a need to fight?
Although Xu Huang likes money, it does not mean that he is really a man who wants money over his life.
Even if he and Wang Le work together to contain the leader of the Split Monitor, other mid-level mages will deal with the other Split Monitor lizards.
It's hard to guarantee that those in the water will not take the opportunity to attack. If they want to deal with those in the water, their strength will be greatly reduced. Even if Xu Qing goes into the water, he will be chased and bitten by those fish monsters, not to mention that they can only be released on land.
The crispy mage of magic.
How to fight this? Just take a shower and go to sleep!
"I have observed that although the crack monitors stay at the water's edge for a long time, in order to fill their stomachs, they have to hunt three times a day even if they cooperate with the black-scaled tiger fish. We only need to wait until the crack monitors leave the river far enough.
Then we took action, and Xu Qing took the leader of the giant lizard for a while, and we joined forces to kill the other giant lizards and beat up the general!"
Wang Le looked at the monitor lizards drinking water by the waterside after eating the giant horned antelope. They took a nap on the river bank for about two hours.
Perhaps they were not full yet, so driven by the desire to eat meat, they got up and ran towards the depths of the mountains. When the fish monsters saw the monitor lizards leaving, they dived back into the river bottom, leaving only some floating broken bones.
"When we get the chance, let's follow those crack monitor lizards!"
Wang Le put on his camouflage uniform, stood up slowly, and crawled slowly towards the direction where the monitor lizards disappeared. Xu Huang and others also followed, trying not to make any noise.
Even as big as Xu Qing, the Qingjia Xilong, it almost blends in with the color of the leaves. It moves lightly like a cat, making it impossible to spot it from a distance.
Xu Qing was in a good mood at this time. He originally thought there was no chance. Now as long as he drags the leader of the Cracked Monitor for a while, it will be a group fight. Without the Cracked Monitor as a helper, it will be much easier to annihilate those black-scaled tiger fish.
.
I have prepared my own feast, chilled tiger fish fillet, dipped in mustard, and bought some cold beer and shrimp, dried fish and other ingredients, the taste... don't mention it!
What, where does this green-armored dragon get the money to buy things? Does it require it to spend money? It just needs to be recorded in the old man's account. Those vendors can make eye contact, and it is a regular customer!
As Xu Qing thought about it, his saliva began to flow again. He was becoming more and more familiar with the black-scaled tiger fish in the river, and he wished he could catch a few and hold them in his arms.
Chapter completed!
