With a breath of relief, Gu Chen walked out from behind the shelf where he was hiding.
The warehouse in front of him showed a messy scene like a storm passing through. Gu Chen tried to recall the previous fierce and short battle in his mind, but felt that it was difficult to calm down. The roar of the beast user and the roar of the vine monster made the scene look like
It is a portrayal of the incompatibility between pioneers and wild monsters.
Gu Chen shifted his gaze to his right hand.
There was a broken rope there that had not been recovered in time, but there was no longer any light on it.
Thinking of the sneaky movements of the vine monster and the scene of playing with the pot monster like children, Gu Chen felt desolate for no reason. After taking a short breath, Gu Chen immediately moved his eyes to the shelves in the distance.
.I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but that shelf was not affected in the fierce battle, nor did it attract any attention from Cui Wu and others.
Gu Chen glanced that there was no one around, then quickly walked over and picked up the pottery pot from the pile of debris.
The shape of the pottery pot is similar to the Chinese medicine pots that are often used to make soups and medicines in Gu Chen's home. Its rough pottery material has a cheap texture that cannot be concealed, and the dusty appearance makes it even more dirty. To put it bluntly,
Even if this thing was thrown on the street, I'm afraid no one would want to pick it back up.
However, Gu Chen's eyes clearly saw the same light as the vine monster surging on the pottery pot.
The pottery pot in front of it is undoubtedly a monster. Of course, it cannot know that Gu Chen's eyes can see through its identity, so it tries to continue pretending to be dead to avoid disaster. Presumably, it must have been before coming into contact with the vine monster.
I relied on this trick to survive in the warehouse for countless years.
Although the pot monster insists on pretending to be dead, its inner light is getting stronger and weaker, and it is shaking violently.
This is natural. After all, the scene of the Vine Monster being brutally killed by the pioneers is still vivid in my mind, and at this moment, black smoke is rising outside the warehouse. As long as Gu Chen makes a casual noise, the Pot Monster is bound to follow the footsteps of the Vine Monster.
.
Gu Chen looked down at the pot monster in his hand, feeling quite confused inside.
After all, in the concept of Chenghuang people, monsters are often regarded as the embodiment of disaster. I have never heard of examples of monsters loving each other, but creating chaos and disasters is what monsters are good at, so they are regarded by the pioneers as ready to be eliminated at any time.
The goal is to do it quickly. Although the master is not as radical as the pioneers, he should not be able to "complicit" with the monsters no matter what.
Gu Chen subconsciously considered the explanation to Cui Wu, but at the same time, the scene of the vine monster and the pot monster playing and communicating frequently appeared in his mind. Especially the scene where the vine monster pushed the pot monster away and jumped off the shelf, which made him even more confused.
He couldn't make up his mind for a long time.
"I've never heard of such a thing..."
Gu Chen considers himself to be a very realistic character, and there is no reason to take risks to protect the monsters. In the same way, if they are in different places, Gu Chen also doubts whether he can sacrifice himself to protect his companions like the vine monster.
. Even when he had such doubts, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel his cheeks getting hot.
After hesitating for a long time, Gu Chen took a deep breath, picked up the pot monster and walked towards the warehouse stairs.
……………………
A week ago, that girl Bai Minghua used the excuse of "no place for people with spare money to live" to drive Gu Chen from the store's annex to the warehouse attic.
After all, the warehouse is an important facility for Rishengchang to store goods, so it cost a lot of money to build. In terms of sturdiness and durability, it may be better than the nearby commercial store, but when it comes to habitability, it cannot be expected at all.
Gu Chen, who was driven to the attic, cleared a space in a relatively ventilated area of the attic, then set up the mountaineering tent that he had traveled with him, plus sleeping bags, gas lamps and other outdoor equipment, which barely constituted the minimum.
living environment.
Except for a certain type of small rodents, no one would think of living in the dark and low attic, so its confidentiality is quite high. But even so, Gu Chen rushed into the tent with the pot monster and zipped it up in one breath
After two nylon locks, I finally calmed down and looked at the pottery pot.
To be honest, the action of bringing the pot monster back to the tent was actually quite risky. Previously, Gu Chen had witnessed the horrifying sight of the vine monster easily knocking down several strong bearers. The monsters born from the Spiritual Brahma often have extraordinary powers.
, only pioneers who are also good at fighting can compete with it.
The master's strength lies in production and construction, but in actual combat, he is no different from civilians. If the pot monster suddenly attacks, Gu Chen may hiccup without even having a chance to call for help.
But Gu Chen is not worried about this.
According to the results of previous observations, the wild monsters are by no means chaotic monsters that only know how to destroy, as the Chenghuang people say, but they all have their own distinct personalities. For example, the vine monsters are clever spirits who explore everywhere, and they are chivalrous and generous in times of crisis.
His heart even made Gu Chen ashamed.
The vine monster is smart and chivalrous, but the guy in front of him is a real coward.
Not to mention anything else, just from the thick dust on its body, you can tell how many years it has been cowardly in the corner of the warehouse. As for the fact that the vine monster was killed by the beast user, it was even more cowardly. From Gu Chen
From the moment he carried it to the tent, the kettle monster kept pretending to be dead, as if he had made up his mind to act like a waste to the end.
But even if he pretends to be dead, the radiance he emits cannot be hidden from Gu Chen's eyes.
"Okay, stop pretending, wake up." Gu Chen reached out and slapped the pot monster, revealing its identity. "I saw you guys chatting, and I know you are also a monster. Wake up quickly."
The pot monster still didn't move, but its light shrank violently, showing an extremely frightened state. Even though it had already reached this point, it still wanted to continue pretending to be dead. It was like an ostrich burying its head in the sand. It was really cowardly.
Gu Chen looked angry and funny.
"You actually understand human language, right? I'll count to three, and if you keep pretending, I'll hit you with a hammer."
Gu Chen pulled out a small functional hammer for outdoor use and waved it threateningly in front of the pot monster. Such an explicit threat finally had an effect, and the pottery pot that had always pretended to be dead trembled slightly.
Then he turned around tremblingly, revealing two big watery eyes——
As the saying goes, "The eyes are the windows to the soul." The moment he looked at the pot monster, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel that the monster was far more human than he imagined.
However, there are differences in how they look like people. If the vine monster is compared to a bad problem child who is violent and aggressive and frequently creates problems for the class, then the pot monster is probably a kind of person who has good grades but a timid personality and is often grouped by boys because of his adolescent characteristics.
Taunting the girl with big breasts and glasses.
Of course, this metaphor is not correct, but looking at the pot monster's big eyes filled with tears, as if he was about to cry with fear and grievance, Gu Chen had such a feeling for some reason.
(Giving a female personality to a monster is ridiculous...)
Gu Chen rubbed his brows depressedly, trying to get rid of the weird imagination in his mind. However, when he looked up at the pot monster, he still subconsciously had the illusion that he was playing the role of a bad teacher, bullying cowardly female students.
.
Especially when he saw the trembling appearance of the Pot Monster, it deepened his conscious impression.
