Chapter 138 The Giant's Kitchen in the Restricted Area
Chapter 138 Restricted Area, Giant’s Kitchen
There were not many jailers going to Annan Town. Counting Ren Qing, there were only three of them, and one was a reserve, mainly because Annan Town also had jailers.
Ren Qing went to wait outside the south city gate earlier and released the husky from the prison in his belly.
The husky is now more than four meters long. With its fluffy hair and naive appearance, it is completely different from wild wolves.
As soon as it entered the outside world, it became extremely joyful, jumping up and down constantly.
Ren Qing's eyes were filled with warning, and the ghost shadow on the soles of his feet spread out, directly blending into the shadow of the silly dog, which could be controlled indirectly.
The husky's expression became suspicious, and then became quiet.
When Huang Ziwan and his two men came to the city gate, they saw the husky who looked like a wolf but not a wolf, and their expressions suddenly became dull.
He originally planned to walk for a few days to hold on, but he didn't expect that Ren Qing got a strange beast with a frightening appearance from nowhere.
Lu Xiaoyu followed Huang Ziwan with her mouth wide open.
Because her technique involves vegetation, she was dispatched to Annan Town as a reserve to earn some blood crystals.
Ren Qing took the lead and rolled onto the husky's back. It felt like sitting on a sofa, and the hair could block the cold wind.
"Let's go, waiting for more people will cause unnecessary trouble."
It is much better for Huang Ziwan to decisively turn over and go to Annan Town than to go to Annan Town on both feet.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoyu could only do it.
Huang Ziwan patted the husky and felt that the meat was firm and smelled faintly of a unique meaty aroma.
"Brother Ren, you are a... wolf that grew by feeding monks their flesh and blood, right?"
The husky was not alert at all, and its tail kept wagging.
"That's right, it's enough to be used as a mount."
Ren Qing knocked the husky on the head: "Let's go, follow the official road to Annan Town, it will take at most two or three days regardless of day or night."
Husky(-`ェ-)
After the black shadow merges into the husky's shadow, although it does not completely affect the behavior, it can have an impact to a certain extent.
Haqishi rushed forward like a child. After adapting to the practice of imaginary techniques, he was like an afterimage traveling through the official road paved with gravel.
Ren Qing used the ghost shadow to cling to the husky's back, and then closed his eyes to practice.
He relied on the primary and secondary souls of the twin nightmares and the protection of the ghosts to be able to react in time even if he was suddenly attacked.
Huang Ziwan and Huang Ziwan were a little worried at first, but they soon rested on the dog's back.
But they couldn't be as unscrupulous as Ren Qing.
It is convenient to travel this way.
Wild beasts don't even dare to approach. Even trees cannot cover the size of the husky, forming a huge shadow as they pass by.
There were a few passers-by on the official road. When they saw the husky galloping past, they were so frightened that their legs became weak.
Ren Qing originally thought that he would reach Annan Town unknowingly while meditating on the spell.
But the husky's speed suddenly slowed down until it stopped in the middle of an intersection on an official road.
Huang Ziwan opened his eyes and looked at the empty forest in front of him with confusion, and couldn't help but become nervous.
Ren Qing tried to comfort Husky.
He originally thought that Silly Dog was a little exhausted from being on the road for days.
But the husky kept staring at the mountains and forests, baring its teeth and barking like a dog that could only face its mortal enemy.
Ren Qing's mood couldn't help but become serious.
You must know that the husky has swallowed the blood of the ghost wolf, and its beast instinct is enough to detect prey within dozens of miles.
His thoughts moved slightly.
The ghost shadow stretched like a rope, and then clues were found.
Unfortunately, there is still no gain.
Huang Ziwan jumped off the dog's back and said in a low tone: "This is close to Anshan outside Annan Town. Maybe Zhang Mu disappeared nearby."
He asked hesitantly: "Have you noticed anything wrong?"
"That's not true."
Ren Qing turned to look at the husky. It was obviously unrealistic to communicate with a silly dog.
Lu Xiaoyu did not dare to say anything. She followed the two guards closely, fearing that she would encounter danger that she could not handle due to her carelessness.
Huang Ziwan couldn't help but said: "This place should have nothing to do with the restricted area. Otherwise, how could the Yin difference realm not notice even the slightest clue when it comes to the area?"
Ren Qing asked: "Why did Zhang Mu disappear?"
Lu Xiaowu blurted out: "It's jade algae..."
Huang Ziwan explained: "It is a relatively famous spice because it often grows on the roadside nearby. It is said that Zhang Mu went to pick it at that time, but he never came back."
"Later, the jailer checked all the tamales covering hundreds of miles, but could not find the so-called restricted area."
After Ren Qing heard this, he took out the yellowed note.
He handed the note to Huang Ziwan: "Smell it, does it smell like jade algae?"
Huang Ziwan put it on the tip of his nose, and there was indeed a very faint scent of jade algae. This inexplicable connection sent shivers down his spine.
He hesitated for a few moments, then put the corner of the note in his mouth and sipped it.
Huang Ziwan's pupils shrank into pinpricks.
He didn't know what he saw, his eyes became dull, his cheeks bulged subconsciously, and venom was brewing in his mouth.
Ren Qing quickly took away the note, and then Huang Ziwan came back to his senses.
Huang Ziwan smiled bitterly and said: "The jailers have collected notes before, but they may not have noticed...the weirdness in them."
He swallowed and continued: "A picture composed of countless lines appeared in front of my eyes. Although I couldn't see clearly, it was obviously about the unknown restricted area."
"It should be possible to detect abnormalities through notes only in certain areas."
Ren Qing picked up the note.
The note was as big as a palm, and Huang Ziwan only touched the corner.
He tried to put the other side of the note into his mouth, and his tongue suddenly tasted an inexplicable spice flavor, somewhat similar to mint.
When the taste spread on the tip of his tongue, Ren Qing's eyes warmed slightly.
Suddenly, the noise in the forest gradually disappeared.
Black and white lines appear in mid-air, creating a picture of unknown content, like a suspended ink painting.
The lines are intertwined and twisted, making people dizzy.
The double pupils in Ren Qing's eyes began to rotate. Back then, those with double pupils could enter the Disaster Elimination Forbidden Zone, let alone the Twin Nightmares.
But this time he was more careful, fearing that his soul would accidentally enter the restricted area again.
The lines immediately changed, the picture became orderly, and one could vaguely see what seemed to be an extremely dark kitchen.
Ren Qing couldn't help but feel doubtful, but any form of behavior in the penalty area was normal.
He noticed that the kitchen seemed to be enlarged ten times, the stove was like a mountain peak, and even a bowl of water was like a small lake.
Steam was coming out of the stove, as if something was steaming inside.
"What kind of weird magic is it built as the core?"
Ren Qing wanted to take a closer look, but the aftertaste on his tongue had dissipated, and the scene in front of him slowly disappeared.
The note spontaneously ignited for no apparent reason.
Just as Huang Ziwan wanted to remind Ren Qing, the latter waved his hand, obviously still retaining consciousness under the influence of the primary and secondary souls.
Ren Qing still stared at it and saw the huge giant walking towards the stove.
The giant's body is made of moldy rice, mixed with countless maggots, and is similar to the herb-gathering giant in the disaster relief zone.
The lid of the pot on the stovetop was lifted, and hot steam rushed out from it.
There is only a bowl of steamed pork inside.
The meat is made from scraps of body parts and cut into thin slices, and the original layer of fried rice is replaced by human eyeballs.
The giant finally sprinkled some jade grass.
When Ren Qing saw those eyes, he suddenly thought of the River Mud Society.
If the fat dragon really swallowed dozens or hundreds of eyeballs, even if it was not close to the ghost realm, the alienation of the body should be very obvious.
Could it be that the lines on the fat dragon's body are indeed related to the restricted area, and are the giants collecting ingredients?
Why does it feel a bit ridiculous?
But the restricted area cannot be measured by ordinary people's logic. Maybe his guess may be closer to the truth.
Ren Qing opened his eyes, and Huang Ziwan asked worriedly: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, Lao Huang, you should be brave enough to contact the nearby jailer."
Huang Ziwan took out the bleeding heart from his arms, squeezed it with his hands and started beating rapidly.
In the time it took half a stick of incense, several guards arrived at the location of Ren Qing and others, led by Miss Bai holding a long sword.
Ren Qing told them everything he saw, including the strange things on Fei Long, and how to deal with it had nothing to do with him.
People in the Yin Chao realm will naturally have headaches.
Miss Bai was very interested in huskies, but she did not embarrass Huang Ziwan and the others.
After all, they still have to go to Annan Town. Although it will take some time before the flowers bloom, the sooner they arrive, the better.
The flowering period of Bianganhua is only ten days, and it cannot come into contact with dirt and blood. The risk of transporting it through Abi Hell is not small.
Being able to prepare in Annan Town in advance also means less risk.
The huskies took advantage of their free time to eat dozens of kilograms of flesh and blood obtained from hunting, and then ran wildly in the direction of Annan Town.
From dawn to dusk, you can already see the prototype of Annan Town through the mountains.
The population of Annan Town is not large. It is the smallest among the three main towns in Xiangxiang, with only about 30,000 people.
But the fields are the most numerous, and you can see acres and acres of them at a glance. It’s just the cold winter, so they haven’t been sown yet.
It can be said that at least 50% of the food in Xiangxiang comes from Annan Town, and the remaining 30% comes from the terraces in Heshan Town.
The resident jailer will use the convenience of Abi Hell to mobilize food.
Even if there are occasional droughts and rains, the technique can ensure that no major chaos will occur, and can be used to maintain the stability of Xiangxiang.
Ren Qing looked at the hills to the north of Annan Town. Even in the cold winter, there were still a lot of flowers and plants growing there, which should be the flowers on the other side.
He immediately used his double eyes to observe, and couldn't help but take a breath.
Each Bianhua flower is black and gray, and contains the residual soul, as if its growth is indispensable for watering by the soul.
The hillock where the Biangan flower is planted clearly has a huge rib, which should have been dismantled from the Abi Hell.
Ren Qing finally understood why he chose to plant Bianhua flowers in Annan Town.
Ksitigarbha's ribs were actually used to store the remaining souls. There was an unknown amount of souls gathered in them. As long as someone died nearby, they would be absorbed.
Huang Ziwan saw what Ren Qing was thinking, and he said calmly: "There is no reincarnation in the world. When a person dies, his soul is scattered like a lamp extinguished."
"Of course, except for monks, our souls will be swallowed by strange things."
