Chapter 478
As the creature died, the vague hazy feeling shrouding it gradually dissipated, and a dark mass appeared.
“Click, click…”
Like an old hen with its neck stuck, the man who had just been crying bitterly suddenly choked in his throat and the expression on his face suddenly froze like a stone.
What a nightmare this is!
Under the hair that is a mixture of black silt and dark green seaweed are a pair of terrifying egg-sized eyes. The distance between the eyes is so wide that it makes people want to take a taxi. It presents the typical characteristics of an aquatic amphibian.
A wide mouth with fine fangs occupied the lower half of the face, competing with the large dead white eyes. There was no nose between the two, but two small irregular air holes, shaped like a mysterious wizard who did not want to reveal his name.
The dark and rough skin was covered with a layer of wet mucus, and the body under the mucus was covered with gray scales of varying sizes and arranged in disorder. On the chest, let's call it the chest, there were two deformed tumors protruding. Considering that the monster did not need to breastfeed, its purpose was probably to disguise as female organs.
The huge contrast between the beautiful impression and the horrific reality caused a strong mental shock and instantly shattered the false memory created by the unknown force.
It was just like meeting the fairy you fell in love with online excitedly, only to find out that the other party was an innocent boy who was a Bo Gang demon. Thinking about how he had been close to this kind of thing for the past few days, Ricky's eyes rolled back in disgust, and sour and smelly digestive products overflowed from his mouth and nose like a fountain.
If Beverly hadn't performed a recovery spell on him in time, this poor guy would have been choked to death as soon as he got out of the wolf's den.
Zhu Mingyao spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, pushed away the "Prince Charming" who was mentally broken and vomiting non-stop, and said with an irresponsible sneer:
"This trick of using Photoshop to reveal one's true form and break the illusion is very effective in alerting the turtle man, but it also has significant shortcomings. I'm afraid it will take Mr. Richie a long time to repair his serious psychological trauma. I hope he won't suffer from female phobia..."
"I have to say, the design of this thing is really... excessive."
Holge was tidying up his clothes that were messy during the battle and squeezed over noisily.
"If the mermaid transformation just now was captured on video, I wonder how many children's innocent hearts would be shattered. I guess the peripherals of Disneyland would be unsalable."
"I don't think the federal people's tolerance is that low." Zhu Mingyao replied humorously.
"After all, according to legend, mermaids live at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, right? Then the most common humans they came into contact with were probably the slaves thrown overboard during the triangular trade. It's understandable that they look similar to each other."
Simon came forward, curling his thick dark lips and rolling his eyes exaggeratedly. "Please, before you tell jokes about hell, can you please consider the skin color of the audience?"
"Let's save the small talk for later. First, go back to the ground and treat Mr. Richie." Zhu Mingyao waved his hand casually.
"I'll go check it out, don't miss any loot..."
This suggestion was reasonable. Even though Beverly wanted to ask her why she showed up at such a coincidence, she could only suppress her doubts for the time being and prepare to retreat first.
At this moment, a weak voice timidly sounded from the side.
"Thank you for saving me, sir. Are you...looking for spoils? I think I saw a strange thing in this monster's lair while I was escaping."
When they turned around, they saw the ignored girl, Carrie, pointing timidly at a branch of the cave.
"What is it? Is it valuable?" Before Zhu Mingyao could open his mouth, Edkin came closer with shining eyes.
"If it's convenient, can you let me take a look? The bard's supernatural power includes identification, which is good at discovering the hidden value of items."
It is not easy to live in Chang'an. Although Jinzhou Luocheng is one of the most prosperous places in the Federation, the consumption level is also astonishing.
As a middle-aged man with a wife and a daughter, his expenses are quite high. Even though he has a generous income as a superhuman, he still seems a little stretched in front of the big house and the aristocratic school for his children.
Therefore, any opportunity that could bring him extra money was irresistible to him, and he even forgot about being polite. Zhu Mingyao's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled calmly:
"Mr. Edkin, if you want to supplement your household income, why rush? I'll introduce you to a few jobs later. As for now, you should go up first."
After hearing what he said, even though Edkin was somewhat envious of the possible gains, he was too embarrassed to continue staying there with a smug look on his face, so he simply packed up and prepared to return to the ground.
"Actually..." Jiali's little head suddenly shook slightly, and she whispered in a daze, "This thing is quite big, and it's very close. It just so happens that we have a lot of people, so we can move it back on the way."
Everyone stopped walking and looked at him inquiringly. Edkin, an old man with limited money, looked even more eager.
Zhu Mingyao was silent for a moment, a smile gradually formed on the corner of his mouth, and he let out a breath lightly.
"Since everyone insists, then come together. Just try to stay close to me to avoid any unexpected danger."
His eyes moved over Carrie and he nodded with interest.
"That's great. Let me ask this lady to introduce herself on the way. To be honest, it's rare to see such a young and powerful witch..."
……
……
"…At the middle school dance, I was teased by those bullies again. They even made a trap and put a bucket of stinking pig blood on my head."
He took out the communication spell he had prepared in advance and contacted Mike and the others who were waiting for news. He then summoned a few natural spirits to take Richie back home. The few of them walked towards their destination, listening to Carrie telling them about her origins.
Although quite a while had passed, the girl still trembled with anger when she recalled it, with red eyes and sniffling.
"As a result, under extreme stimulation, I awakened my abilities without knowing it, and injured many classmates in a row, and even set the auditorium on fire."
When she talked about sad things, she sobbed and whimpered.
"I ran home and told my mother, but she was so scared that she said I was possessed by a demon and wanted to kill me to make amends to God. I could only beat her up and ran away..."
Although everyone felt sorry for her unfortunate experience, they were not surprised. At a time when the supernatural wave was intensifying, there were quite a few misunderstandings caused by unexpected awakenings throughout the year, so it was nothing strange.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and continued, "The days of wandering were hard, but with the help of my increasingly sophisticated abilities, I was able to survive until today..."
As she spoke, she led the way around several bends, through rugged tunnels, and arrived at a rocky cave.
The cave is narrow at first and then wide. The entrance only allows two people to enter side by side. After entering for a few dozen meters, it expands to the size of a basketball court.
Several balls of light flew up, illuminating the entire cave. Then, on the stone wall of one of the caves, a tall shadow was seen, and its color was obviously different from the surrounding area.
Edkin, who had been searching for gold and silver treasures with great hope, had a disappointed look on his face and muttered in a strange tone: "Is this... a cabinet?"
I saw that the thing was a neat rectangle with its brown paint peeling off, revealing the grey-yellow wood texture underneath. It had obviously been through the invasion of many years.
The two doors had simple carved scroll patterns and the brass handles were covered in scratches. No matter how you looked at it, it looked like just an old-fashioned wardrobe.
However, Zhu Mingyao's eyes suddenly lit up and locked onto the rusty keyhole of the wardrobe.
There, a short golden reed was gleaming.
