Two pieces of crispy sesame seed cakes sprinkled with sesame seeds and a bowl of fragrant hot porridge made from whole grains not only paid tribute to the five internal organs temple after being tired for many days, but also brought a lingering fragrance to Gu Chen's soul.
(It tastes really good, I can come here more often in the future.)
Gu Chen was still licking the sesame seeds on his fingers. The sesame cakes at the roadside stall in front of him were extremely crispy and fragrant, and they had the potential to become an internet celebrity on Earth. Gu Chen even considered asking the stall owner to pack a dozen sesame cakes.
Take it home as emergency dry food.
Of course, the old store had a fully functional kitchen, but without running water and natural gas, Gu Chen definitely didn’t think he would be interested in chopping firewood for cooking. After all, on Earth, Gu Chen often relied on takeout.
The hikikomori who my brother helped helped now traveled to Chenghuang, and Gu Chen also planned to use similar methods to solve people's livelihood problems.
"Boss, please pack it for me..."
Just when Gu Chen raised his hand to greet the stall owner, there were sudden bursts of commotion behind him.
Gu Chen turned around in astonishment and saw that what was causing the commotion in the distance was a strange bird with a bright feather crest and thick legs. The strange bird squawked and galloped along the street with its feet, knocking over fruit and vegetable stalls and knocking over rice wine.
Bucket. Along with the panicked shouts of the people, a corner of the market fell into chaos.
(Is that a hammerhead bird?)
After all, Gu Chen stayed at the site for two weeks and recognized the origin of the strange bird on the spot.
The flow of spiritual energy in Chenghuang Land has given rise to many creatures that are very different from those in China.
The strange bird known as the "Hammerhead" is a land-based raptor used to replace horses. The Hammerhead has a ferocious beak that can easily break rocks like a mace, and it can also sprint to complete the task.
Short moment flight. Wild hammerhead birds have fierce combat power that even wild monsters dare not provoke. As long as you provide them with enough nuts, they will become quite trustworthy mounts.
Because weak horses cannot continue to move in the dangerous outer lands, trekkers who often go to the outer lands will turn to raising hammerheads as mounts. Hammerheads are not uncommon in Liyang City, but there is little precedent for causing trouble in the streets.
(No, there is someone on the bird’s back?)
As the hammerhead bird came closer, Gu Chen noticed another light figure on the back of the hammerhead bird.
Judging from the slender figure with a ponytail, the other party seemed to be a quite young woman. And the fact that she was able to maintain balance on the back of the violently swaying bird by relying only on the reins showed her extraordinary skill.
The female rider held the reins tightly to control the mount, trying to avoid the obstacles on the market street while sprinting towards the stall.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
Being thrown off the back of a running bird is no joke, and of course being hit by a strange bird will not end well. The sudden danger left Gu Chen with no time to watch, and he hurriedly got up to dodge.
"Huh? Do you have children?"
"Idiot! Come back quickly!"
At this moment, as if to add fuel to the chaos in front of him, a child running after a ball suddenly appeared on the street in front of the speeding Hammerhead. By the time the panicked adults noticed, the child had already hugged the rolling bird.
The ball reached the street and looked up at the raptor charging ahead with a dull face.
"No! It's too late!"
Hysterical screams were followed by the explosion of the ball being stepped on.
However, the expected tragedy did not occur.
The moment it was about to hit the child, the female rider on the bird's back suddenly jumped forward, grabbed the child, and then used the momentum to spin like a swallow in the air, stepping on the giant beak of the hammerhead bird to turn back from the other side.
On the saddle - making such complicated movements with a snap of her fingers, the female rider's incredible physical skills left Gu Chen dumbfounded.
The female rider held the child in one hand and tightened the reins with the other to stop the hammerhead.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
The female rider put the child on the steps along the way, whispered a few words of comfort, and then raised her head and looked left and right. Gu Chen saw the anxious look on the female rider's face, as if she was searching for something. After counting her fingers, the female rider
He jerked the reins again and rode the hammer-headed bird as fast as he could from the sesame cake stall.
When passing by the sesame cake stall, the female rider's eyes crossed with Gu Chen's. Although the female rider immediately looked away, Gu Chen's eyes continued to follow the female rider's back until the hammer-headed bird turned into the distance.
It was taken back at the street corner.
……………………
The hammerhead bird is the mount of the pioneer. The pioneer is an adventurous profession that relies on the elixir to travel to the wilderness. It is also the blade and shield used by the Yellow Kingdoms to suppress the disasters of wild monsters. It corresponds to the contribution of the pioneer.
Yes, the city-states have already adapted to the various disturbances they create.
Compared with the troubles caused by pioneers in the past, the bird running wild in the market was nothing. The arriving soldiers quickly controlled the situation, and the treatment of the injured and the clean-up of the scene were also completed in a matter of seconds. When Gu Chen led
When I left the stall with the packed sesame cakes, the market had returned to its original bustling atmosphere.
(Did you come from there...)
After leaving the sesame cake stall, Gu Chen did not go to the medicine shop that he had reserved, but followed the direction in which the female rider came.
The female rider came and went like a storm. In just a few breaths, both her skills and appearance burst out with unforgettable brilliance. However, rather than being attracted by her grace, Gu Chen was more interested in seeing it on the female rider.
something.
(That was indeed the "Spiritual Brahma" just now...)
I don’t know if it was a bonus when traveling through time, but Gu Chen was able to see the invisible vision of the spiritual Brahma flowing with his naked eyes.
When Gu Chen passed by the female rider before, he saw a glow of fireflies. If he looked further away, there were faint fireflies like dandelion seeds floating on the street where the hammerhead bird ran. In Gu Chen's eyes,
In the eyes, these light spots are obviously gathering towards a certain corner.
If the thing the female rider was chasing was related to these spiritual currents, then she might have strayed off the route on the way. So at this moment, Gu Chen took the place of the female rider who had lost her target and headed towards the place where these lights gathered.
According to the experience of the Kettle Monster and the Vine Monster, there are wild monsters lurking in most places where spirit gods gather. Among the wild monsters, there are definitely a small number of cowards who are harmless to humans and animals like the Pot Monster, and those like the Vine Monster that will attack without warning.
The vast majority of people did this, so what Gu Chen did was actually quite risky.
Of course, Gu Chen was also very aware of this, and secretly became more vigilant when following Liu Ying.
(What will it be this time? A wheel monster? Or a wine jar monster?)
The reason why the idea of the "wine vat monster" came up was because when he turned into a remote alley, a strong aroma of wine suddenly wafted in the air. For Gu Chen, who is not a big drinker, the aroma of wine was strong enough to give him a headache.
It makes me feel dizzy, but it also indirectly reduces my fear of unknown monsters.
After all, the concept of "a monster who likes to drink" seems to be difficult to describe in the mind what a terrifying image it is.
The strong aroma of wine permeating the alley made Gu Chen wonder if he had fallen into a wine vat. After carefully walking forward for a short distance, Gu Chen felt water stains on the soles of his feet. He looked down and couldn't help but feel dumb.
The wine spilled on the ground came from a trailer in front that had not yet had time to unload. The trailer was originally filled with dozens of jars of old wine, but now half of it has been turned into nutrients that nourish the land. Among the broken wine
In the middle of the altar and the overflowing wine, there is a black-sheathed horizontal sword upside down. The horizontal sword is similar to the shape of a ring-headed sword, and the spiritual gods coming from all directions are converging on it.
(Uh, what exactly is this...)
Gu Chen rubbed his eyebrows in confusion. Although he had presupposed various possible scenarios before stepping into the alleyway and roughly came up with countermeasures, no matter what kind of predictions he made, they were not even close to the situation in front of him.
That black-sheathed horizontal sword was undoubtedly a monster born from the Spirit Brahma. And judging from the clues at the scene, this guy probably did nothing else in the wine jar. As for now, he is probably dead.
Completely drunk to death.
As evidence, even if Gu Chen walked over and picked up the sword monster from the ground, the latter showed no reaction at all.
