Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 144: Houndstooth

"I'm getting bolder and bolder. It's really nonsense. What's the point of offending so many onlookers?"

"What's going on?" Dai Luan turned around, knelt on the stool and looked at him.

"Ah... I heard that the real owner of this 'dog farm' has not always been operating here. So the entire place is basically entrusted to his subordinates. After two twists and turns, it turned into what it is now -

It violates the original intention of the establishment and only thinks about how to make money, squeezing the last value out of people..."

Dai Luan scratched his head: "I'm not talking about this... I just think that as long as you watch some living creatures fighting, there is essentially no difference. Why are people so angry? The fight between wild boars and orangutans is also a bit interesting.

Head? Although I don’t like it very much..."

"Because I was deceived." Mu Wan twisted her body half way and put one hand on the back of the chair, "Obviously we came to see the monsters fight to the death, but they turned out to be just ordinary animals. I really don't know what we paid for was wronged.

Still not unjust."

Zhou Dan sighed, her tone was not regretful, but her face was full of regret.

"There is an upper limit to people's pursuit of excitement." He said, "The upper limit for each person is different from type to degree. Some people are good at eating - delicacies from mountains and seas, exotic foods; some are lustful - the color of the opposite sex,

Homosexuality; some people like money - benevolent wealth, ill-gotten wealth... But for those present, the most novel and exciting thing that can bring supreme happiness is watching these terrible and pitiful beings interact with each other.

Only the splattering of demon blood and sharp cries can satisfy them. In comparison, all food, sex and wealth become insignificant. But over time, they will become indifferent to this kind of stimulation and need more dangerous monsters. But humans

The expansion of desire is far less than the speed of 'replenishment'... Do you understand?"

"……terrible."

That's terrible, humans.

"It's no wonder that Tanghuan County is still in such poverty over the years. They have raised their perception of entertainment to a level that... ordinary people cannot touch or understand. When they saw that we were at the end of the road, they had to use mountain beasts to fool us.

Already."

Shan Hai shook his head repeatedly as he spoke. But Dai Luan seemed to have a different view on this.

"But I feel cold." She raised her hand and shook the transparent thin clothing on her shoulders. "I feel like this every time there is a strong yin energy or a place where monsters gather. So I think, either there is something wrong down there.

The water is a big graveyard! Or there must be other real monsters trapped there."

Zhou Pan nodded: "What the girl said is true. Although it is not necessarily a cemetery, the death of so many innocent monsters... it is better to say that they are tortured and killed. They can also form resentful spirits like humans. It's just that the kind of ghosts and monsters

The ghosts transformed from humans are different, they are just evil spirits. But the monsters you mentioned are real. It’s not that they don’t exist, they just don’t dare to let them out.”

"Why?" Mu Wan was very surprised.

"They haven't been tamed yet... how can monsters be so obedient? They - we - are the same as humans, with feelings and thoughts, so why are they at your mercy for nothing, right?"

Shan Hai didn't understand: "But they just put the monsters together to fight, so why go to all the trouble? Don't those spectators just think that the bloodier it is, the more interesting it is? Although I don't agree."

"Haha... Daoist Master Lin, you don't understand this. I'm afraid you've forgotten that in addition, there is a gambling game, right? Let the seemingly weak little demon defeat a monster a hundred times bigger than itself, or something else to form a strong

When a contrasting situation arises that most people would never imagine, there will definitely be many people who lose money. They have to control the outcome based on the chips they have in private."

It is true that Lin Shanhai has almost never understood the rules of the casino. If Shi Wuqi was there, he would probably be able to see through them at a glance. Shanhai felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not because of the noisy crowd or the animals on the field fighting each other. In other words, it was not

It was because of them...for all of this, all of it made him feel sick from the bottom of his heart.

He never overestimated human nature, but the lower limit was repeatedly exceeded by facts.

Goodness in the world by no means does not exist, which is why Ling Shanhai persists. But these goodies are so humble and small, like the dew that spreads on millions of leaves every morning. They are fleeting and cannot be gathered together.

Rivers. They are crystal clear and beautiful, but too small and scattered. They are glimpsed by countless people in the corner of their eyes on countless mornings, and then forgotten and evaporated.

Evil is like blood dripping into the ocean. No matter how small it is, it can attract greedy and ugly sharks.

He couldn't stop sighing and shaking his head. He wanted to deny everything, but he didn't know what to do. He wanted to change everything, but he didn't know where to start. He could never do anything that was too ideal.

Dai Luan suddenly noticed that the stubbled man previously known as Zhang Changgong suddenly replaced the previous person and came to the high platform at the edge. He suddenly spoke, and his voice was as loud as a bell, which stunned the whole audience.

Hundreds of noisy people.

"Everyone! Everyone! Listen to what I have to say!" Zhang Changgong used his Dantian luck. Although his voice was not loud, it clearly reached everyone's ears, "Listen to me! Due to the mistake in our arrangement, all fellow villagers, elders and foreigners must

The money of the guests was almost like water in a bamboo basket. Next, we immediately arranged for water tigers and Tushan strange birds. Have you heard of them? Are they fresh? Guests who brought money can go to the northeast corner to queue up to place bets. Don’t

It’s crowded, buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it!”

People suddenly became energetic and rushed to the northeast corner of the venue. The area around the mountains and sea became even more empty. Zhou Pan stood up, patted their shoulders, and motioned for them to take the opportunity to move forward. Dai Luan was confused.

. She felt that if this person could recite this line as fast as he could and get the tickets stamped, they wouldn't have to wait in line until dark a few days ago.

"What's there to see..." Mu Wan sighed, "And where did the water tiger and the Tushan strange bird come from? These two monsters are not easy to find, and catching them is even more difficult.

sky."

"Who knows. There will always be demon hunters who want money rather than their lives to do this kind of thing." Zhou Dan chuckled, somewhat mockingly.

Dai Luan was a little anxious. She hurriedly lifted up the thin gauze and chased them in a panic. She almost tripped over a length that was dragged to the ground. She shouted:

"What? Why do you all know what kind of monster it is? Everyone here knows it, but I don't understand anything!"

"Well... don't worry too much."

Zhou Pan turned around and raised Mu Wan's arms on the back steps, then turned around and placed them on the seat in front. The four of them sat down again according to the original seating arrangement. This time they could see more clearly. Several people

With a spear rake and a big net, he dragged the two beasts back when no one was paying attention. The two iron fences slowly lowered and made a loud and dull sound when they were buckled to the ground.

Half an hour later, everyone was seated. Naturally, there were some people arguing over seats, but luckily, no one made trouble for them—probably because of the advantage of the large number of people. The people in the northeast corner dispersed a little, and Shanhai glanced at them.

At a glance, I saw a woman of similar age to myself, or even older, counting and checking the bets of the talent crowd. The light was very dark and I couldn't see clearly.

The real monsters are about to appear. For Onmyoji, this is something they often deal with, but for ordinary people who used to only hear it in stories and read it in story books, this kind of visual impact will make them...

People expect more.

Because the fangs did not penetrate their bodies.

Because it's not just them who are bleeding like rivers.

The faces of the craftsmen and clerks working here are a little gloomy. It can be seen that these two guys must have not yet been tamed.

The water tiger has a ferocious appearance and lives in the water. In addition to its mouth, even its stomach is full of teeth, which can bite all the prey it swallows into pieces. Its back is covered with hard armor, and its lower body has sharp tiger teeth.

Its claws can easily cut into pieces even the strongest rocks. Its ears can understand all languages ​​​​of flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and animals, and even humans. And its body can be hidden at will, and ordinary people can't even see it, let alone catching it.

It's hard to see him in person.

It was panting heavily, and sticky saliva dripped from its mouth all the way. Every time it took a step forward, horrific marks were made on the ground behind it. Just looking at those paw prints, it was impossible to guess what animal left them.

In addition, there are traces of water along the way.

The Tushan monster bird on the other side ran rampant in the passage, rolling and crawling out, as if it had been thrown into the field. Its size was not much smaller than that of the water tiger, but its pair of

The strong and strong legs are hard to ignore. In other eastern countries, it is called Izu Shinten. Every other year, a pure gold feather will grow on their bodies, and their habitats are usually rich in

gold deposits.

This strange bird was in a very poor mental state, its fur was dirty, and its wings were unwilling to stretch out, perhaps a little shrunken. As soon as it entered the scene, it stared closely at the water tiger in front of it, and walked around in a semicircle with it.

Shi retreated, very alert. Black liquid came out of its long pointed mouth, which was also very viscous, like some kind of grease. The black oil dripped down the corners of its mouth and suddenly burned when it fell to the ground.

, leaving scattered small fires on the ground, drawing arcs along the path it walked.

The water tiger occasionally disappears, but soon reveals its figure. It seems that it is also very tired, with almost no extra strength to hide itself. When it makes a low and threatening whine, the strange bird also tightens its grip

When it has a long mouth, thorny sparks will burst out from the mouth, and a sound similar to the friction of flint will be heard.

So pitiful, so pitiful.

Dai Luan kept shaking her head, even though no one paid attention to her, even though it was of no use.

So pathetic.
