The old commercial building that Gu Chen rented was originally a facility used by the trading company to transfer supplies and receive visitors. Therefore, it not only has a small warehouse for storing goods, but its front yard is also spacious enough for cage trucks to park and transport and unload goods.
While Gu Chen was discussing the idea of running the workshop with Feiyan, he drove the cage truck slowly into the store. Since there was still a lot of debris accumulated in the warehouse of the store, Gu Chen planned to park the cage truck in the front yard for the time being.
.However, when he looked left and right to find the location, he unexpectedly discovered that the appearance of the vestibule seemed different.
First of all, the sparrows that were always chirping seemed to have disappeared en masse. Secondly, the overgrown flower beds seemed to be washed away by floods, presenting a particularly miserable situation that even the female swordsman was frightened.
"Gu Chen, is the store flooded?"
"Where did the flood on the slope come from... No, could it be caused by Bonyu?"
Gu Chen speculated. After all, the only one left in the store was the Pot Monster, and there seemed to be no other possibility. However, with just a bamboo water gun that sprinkled water, how could that coward make it so exaggerated?
At this time, the door of the store was pushed open with a bang, and the pot monster suddenly jumped out of the door. It changed from its usual leisurely look and waved the rattan rope towards Gu Chen anxiously. Gu Chen, who witnessed that scene, turned around and said
The female swordsmen next to them exchanged glances.
"There seems to be something going on?"
"Go and have a look."
Feiyan moved his hand to the hilt of the sword, and the majestic tone sounded particularly trustworthy.
It's not that I haven't thought about the situation when Mr. Liang Shang visited the store, but if he was alone, it would be quite difficult to deal with it, right? Gu Chen cast a look of relief at the female swordsman following closely behind him, and once again realized the benefits of having powerful allies.
"Boniu, what happened...oh yeah?"
Gu Chen followed the pot monster into the living room. When he saw the human figure tied into a rice dumpling on the living room floor, his expression changed from vigilance to astonishment. When he saw the beautiful white hair, he suddenly became dumbfounded.
"Xiao Yi? Why are you here?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Because his mouth was tied with a cane, the white ape boy could only moan, but he blinked desperately and twisted his body to convey the message "I am innocent." Gu Chen could roughly understand the reason, but when he looked down, he timidly hid.
The kettle monster behind its feet began to wonder how it did it.
……………………
"That is to say, you originally only planned to come over to see the situation of the store, but you didn't expect to encounter a riot by a strange monster...that is, this one. When you panicked and wanted to escape, you were knocked unconscious by it, and when you woke up, you found
I'm tied up and can't move, is that right?"
After a while, Xiao Yi, who was freed from the ropes, sat on the sofa and honestly explained to the store owner what had happened to him. After listening, Gu Chen summarized with a subtle expression.
"Yes, yes."
Xiao Yi nodded and glanced at Gu Chen across the sofa with trepidation. On the left of Gu Chen was the female swordsman holding the sword silently, and on the right of Gu Chen was the pot monster staring eagerly. The inexplicable pressure created by the two made the white ape boy nervous.
Worse, only half of his buttocks were touching the sofa, ready to escape at any moment.
In fact, it's no wonder Xiao Yi is so nervous.
After all, the female swordsman was a ruthless character who had made him suffer before, and the strange monster was the incarnation of the disaster that all countries suffered from. The Chenghuang people all had an innate fear of the strange monster, so they all suffered
Xiao Yi also felt almost afraid of Gu Chen, who could drink the magic pot.
"Don't be nervous, Xiao Yi. It's all a misunderstanding. They won't do anything to you."
Looking at the white ape boy who seemed about to jump up at any moment, Gu Chen probably knew what he was nervous about. He reached out and patted the head of the pot monster nestled behind him. "Let me explain, first of all, this guy is not the absurd guy you think.
It’s not a monster, it’s a monster.”
"Things, monsters?"
"As for monsters, they are the monsters generated by man-made objects, such as pots, swords, tables and chairs, etc. Although they are all monsters born from the spiritual essence, the habits of monsters are actually quite different from wild monsters.
But Chenghuang doesn’t seem to distinguish them.”
Gu Chen explained to Xiao Yi that the matter of taming monsters cannot always be kept secret. Sooner or later, Gu Chen would try to get the Chenghuang people to recognize the existence of monsters. Studying the ecology of monsters as a master is a good excuse.
Not counting Feiyan, Xiao Yi in front of him was the audience he was trying to explain the concept of monsters for the first time.
But for Chenghuang people, "weird monsters are equal to disasters" is a concept that has been ingrained into their bones since childhood. Even after hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Xiao Yi naturally showed doubts.
"Yes, is that so..."
"Of course. First of all, have you ever seen any monster get so close to a human?" Gu Chen said, touching the head of the pot monster, and continued to explain. "I am a master, and my research topic is the ecology of monsters. In fact,
The monsters are all very human and can understand human speech. I asked Bonyu to take good care of your house. It probably thought you were a thief, but it just knocked you unconscious. "
"Research topic? Okay, so awesome."
Although the strange monsters are the disaster of the Yellow River, the master is the cornerstone of the country. When Gu Chen pointed out the authority of the master, the white ape boy couldn't help but believe it on the spot. In any case, he glanced at the moving Tao
The strange scene of the jar rubbing against the master like a puppy is hard to relate to the image of a ferocious monster.
Xiao Yi held his head and murmured on the sofa for a long time. He probably reluctantly accepted the monster's statement and relaxed obviously after exhaling.
Gu Chen was relieved when he saw this. Since Xiao Yi can accept the concept of monsters, there should be room for negotiation about asking him to keep it secret. However, Xiao Yi still seems a little confused now, so it would be better to wait a while before bringing it up.
Gu Chen thought about it and then turned his attention to the round jar next to him.
"Speaking of which, Bonyu, how did you knock Xiao Yi unconscious?"
Gu Chen was curious. Regardless of his coward personality, the pot monster has never shown any special abilities so far, but it can actually knock Xiao Yi unconscious? The person involved didn't even know how he was knocked unconscious.
, it’s really quite intriguing.
This question also aroused Feiyan's interest, and she looked towards the pot monster with great interest.
The Pot Monster, who was being watched by everyone, subconsciously wanted to show off, but in his heart he couldn't help but want to show off the skills he had just learned. The conflicted Pot Monster glanced at Gu Chen quietly, and in the end his desire to show off prevailed, so he trembled.
He puffed up his chest.
The kettle monster puffed up its chest and screamed twice, and then a ball of water the size of a fist slowly floated into the air from the spout of the kettle. The kettle monster rolled up the vine rope to exert its strength, and the water ball suspended in the air was trembling slightly, and
What fell into Gu Chen's eyes was the sight of a large number of spiritual beings constantly concentrating towards the water polo.
"Hey!?" Gu Chen's eyes widened.
At the same time as Gu Chen exclaimed, ripples suddenly appeared at a certain point on the surface of the solid water ball. In the next moment, a water arrow shot out from the ripples. The water arrow crossed half of the living room with a laser-like straight trajectory and shot down.
Go to the door wall of the living room.
The pot monster who deliberately offered the treasure did not hold back, only a muffled sound was heard, and the solid door panel two fingers thick was penetrated by the water arrow on the spot. After penetrating the door panel, the remaining water arrows even hit the wall behind the door panel.
The hole is as big as a fist. Fortunately, the business building is made of solid stone, so it only requires a hole to be made. If it were replaced by a wooden house, the house would probably collapse.
Then again, it can even punch holes in solid stone walls. How terrifying is the power of the pot monster's water arrows!?
