Chapter 36 Beauty and the Beast
Chapter 36 Beauty and the Beast
The hustle and bustle of lights in City W gradually faded away as the clock ticked, and the man dragged his hungry body towards the green lake step by step.
I didn't find much to eat tonight. After tasting the delicious food all night, I resumed my daily life with poor food.The man sat by the lake and sighed heavily. The bank was full of vigorous and simple banyan trees, tall and dark green, with intertwined roots. He pulled a leaf into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and poohed it out.
...so hungry.
The man sank into the water slowly, causing circles of ripples, and suddenly a crimson light flashed on the dark water surface, which was strange and fleeting.
Maybe it won't feel hungry after falling asleep... Thinking of this, it quietly sank to the bottom of the lake, hugging its dry and empty stomach and closing its eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, a burst of fishy, sweet and mutton-smelling air came faintly through the dimly lit lake.It suddenly woke up, salivating wildly in its mouth, swung its tail fin and swam up quickly.
"coming."
Gu Cheng was dressed in a neat bunt, his long hair was raised high, his bright eyes stared fiercely at the strange fish in the lake, and he said coldly: "Let's start."
Beef and mutton piled high on the shore, the tempting smell penetrated the nose of the henggong fish, the strong stimulation made its head swell, and it opened its mouth and rushed to the shore to bite!
The body of the five or six feet long red fish leaped out of the water, and its red scales gleamed in the morning mist.A group of hands showed horror, held back the fear in their hearts and pulled the cart fiercely, and moved a large section of beef and mutton to the banyan forest. .
Gu Cheng pulled out the short knife, swung his arm and stabbed in the face, the sharp edge of the knife slid away as soon as it touched the fish scales.Heng Gongyu shook his head, and the woman was thrown away, staggering two steps and crashing into her strong chest.
Gu Lang said in a deep voice: "Be careful." He gently pushed the woman's palm away and took the dagger: "I'll do it."
After saying that, Gu Lang took a few steps to take a run-up, grabbed the long fish whiskers with one hand and rubbed his body up, his arm muscles slightly closed, the short knife pierced through the thin mist, and stabbed straight at the huge fish pupil on the left, the Heng male fish quickly lowered his eyelids , dodged this fierce attack unscathed.Under repeated provocations, Henggong Yu suddenly became furious, shaking his head and tail, the slippery body of the fish made Gu Lang have nowhere to attack, and was almost thrown away several times.He had no choice but to grit his teeth and grab the fish's whiskers, swinging the handle of the knife to hit its eyes.
Gu Lang has always possessed amazing arm strength. His punch could stun a brown bear, but when it landed on this strange fish, it was melted away strangely.
"Miss, do you want to use a gun?" a subordinate asked.
Gu Cheng murmured: "No. Use fire." She gestured, Gu Lang jumped down from the back of the fish, and the male fish moved its body clumsily, opening its mouth wide towards the smelly beef and mutton, not wanting to be caught by a sudden blow. The bucket of pungent liquid was poured straight on.
Gu Lang moved the oil barrel together with his men, and quickly poured gasoline all over the strange fish's body. It didn't know why, but it still struggled to pounce on the food, tore off a leg of lamb and chewed it.
Gu Cheng smiled coldly, and threw the slender match with a small cluster of light towards the male fish far away.
The bright red fire instantly devoured the strange fish, the heat wave was rolling, and the humid air by the lake quickly dried up and scorched hot.Everyone distanced themselves from the strange fish and waited nervously.
"Miss, this strange fish seems to be unable to bear it."
Gu Cheng's face was condensed, he stared at the strange fish frantically tearing in front of him for a moment, and the raging flames were reflected in his pupils.
"...No, it's actually, it's still chewing food...!"
Everyone was shocked!
The skin of the henggong fish is covered with a layer of strange liquid, which actually isolates the body from the flames. It is not afraid of the high temperature of the heat wave, and devours the raw meat in front of it.
Gu Lang took the iron chain from one hand: "Prepare to nail the stake."
==========================================
Shen Cun's eyelashes trembled, and he slowly opened his eyes.He felt that his brain was half a beat slower than his body, and he was still a little dazed when he sat up.
Gu Yan is sleeping on the chair tilted, there is a small shadow under the fluffy eyelashes.His skin is fair, and even a little dark circles will be obvious.
It looks like he hasn't had a good rest.
Shen Cun suddenly felt particularly sweet.He has never been sick since he was a child, and his injuries will soon heal. He has never been guarded to sleep, and it is the first time he feels that he is being cared for carefully.
Brother Gu is very interesting, and the younger brother who is not convinced will cover it.
Shen Cun looked at him quietly for a while, then took out the phone from under the pillow, and the moment the screen lit up, he almost jumped out of bed.
He actually slept for a day and two nights! ?It's still the kind that doesn't wake up in the middle!
Shen Cun just woke up with a dazed head and was even more dazed.I heard before that taking cold medicine can make you sleepy. It was the first time in his life that he tried it, and the power should not be underestimated.
He lightly lifted the towel and quilt, put on his shoes, and suddenly a slight humming sounded.
Gu Yan frowned, and before he opened his eyes, his right hand quickly reached into his pocket and snuffed out the alarm clock.
"Wake up." Gu Yan glanced at Shen Cun from the corner of his eye.
"En." Shen Cun paused, "You have been guarding?"
"Why, do you want to be moved to cry?" Gu Yan got up and stretched, "I've never seen someone who can sleep better than you. Once you lie down, it's as if you're unconscious."
Shen Cun was more puzzled than him.
Gu Yan raised his chin: "I still have a thermometer hanging on my body, don't you feel it?"
As soon as he said that Shen Cun realized that there was something under his armpit, he took it out to have a look.
"How much?" Gu Yan asked.
"37 degrees two." Shen Cun threw the thermometer back.
"Sleep is not in vain." Gu Yan turned his stiff neck and said lazily, "It's good that the fever subsides. I'll go back and lie down for a while."
"Have a good rest." Shen Chou pinched the back of his neck, the numbing feeling immediately drove away the stiffness, Gu Yan narrowed his eyes and snorted.
"Muscles are all stiff." Shen Cun led him to the bedside, "Lie down, I'll give you a massage."
"No need." Gu Yan avoided his hand and said flatly, "I'll just go back and lie down for a while."
Shen Cun glanced at him, feeling that when he woke up, Brother Gu was a little different from before.
If Shen Cun had a bigger brain and a more coquettish mouth, he would probably have thought of the adjective 'bingqingyujie'.
That's right, Brother Gu, who slapped twice last night, has already seen through the world of mortals and comprehended good fortune. Right now, he is as hopeless as a monk who has practiced for ten years...at least it seems that way.
"Let's go." Gu Yan said.
"Well, there is something to transmit the sound." Shen Cun escorted him to the door.
Gu Yan responded, opened the door, and a man was leaning against the opposite wall with a sullen face.
"Fuck." Gu Yan couldn't hold back, and cursed.
"Can you speak human language?" Ji Xuan's face turned darker.
"Human words are for people to hear." Gu Yan sneered.
"Little waste is not useless." Ji Xuan laughed eccentrically, "He is very good at fighting with words."
"Master is better at beating dogs." Gu Yan tilted his head, "Do you want to try, Mr. Huang Ze?"
The two of them pointed at Maimang, and they wanted to make a move before they could say a few words.Shen Cun sighed, and went straight to the point: "What's the matter?"
"I have something to do." Ji Xuan almost pointed his nostrils at him, looking at Gu Yan with itchy palms, "You have been inquiring for so many days, do you know that the Gu family took people to the Green Lake just now?"
"What are you going to do?" Shen Cun looked at his nostrils and asked.
"Of course it's to deal with Henggong Yu." Ji Xuan sneered, "A few mortal bodies are just sent to the door for food."
"Why did they deal with the male fish?" Gu Yan folded his arms around his chest.
"If your father is eaten by a fish, he will not let him go." Ji Xuan said with a half-smile.
"What?!" Gu Yan was too surprised to scold him.
"Heng male fish ate people?" Shen Cun frowned.
"I don't know anything, you are here to visit W City?" Ji Xuan's nostrils were about to turn upside down this time.
"You came here on purpose to tell us?" Shen Cun said.
Ji Xuan turned his head to the side and snorted heavily.
Gu Yan whispered: "Brother Cun, we have to hurry over there. It's just that barrier..."
Shen Cun remained silent, his gaze fell on Ji Xuan.
Gu Yan understood what he meant. Although Ji Xuan was not pleasing to the eye, he also knew that human life was at stake, and he couldn't delay it any longer.
Ji Xuan raised his chin: "Why should I help you?"
"Araze-kun help me, I'll consider being gentle next time." Gu Yan showed a friendly smile.
"Oh." Ji Xuan said.
Hey you uncle, next time I won't blow your head off!
Shen Cun smiled: "Mr. Huang Ze helped us break the barrier. How about canceling the last incident? You destroyed a pulse spirit, so you probably don't want to be troubled by the court."
Ji Xuan lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, his face gradually softened, and he nodded reluctantly: "Deal."
The three of them left the hotel, summoned two wind-carrying birds, and rushed to the Green Lake without stopping.
Shen Cun asked about the situation: "How many people from the Gu family have gone, and what are the casualties?"
Ji Xuan glanced at him: "A lot of people have gone, and there are probably less than five main combatants. The situation of the battle is still unknown."
"Less than five people? Such courage." Gu Yan said.
Ji Xuan snorted, "That girl from the Gu family has always been crazy. But when ordinary people deal with Mailing, it's not as good as a good person if they have a lot of people. Otherwise, they will die early."
"There must be the person brought back from the Colosseum among them." Gu Yan muttered.
Ji Xuan raised a thick eyebrow, and the yin and yang vibes came again: "Oh, I actually found out about this, didn't you two come to the theater?"
"After all, they are all professionals." Gu Yan pursed his lips.
Ji Xuan sneered in his heart, the little waste is really thick-skinned.He pretended to glance at Shen Cun inadvertently. The man put one leg horizontally and the other bent, resting his elbows on his knees lazily resting his chin. His eyes fell on the top of the little waste's hair in front of him, but he didn't seem to be in focus. .
Ji Xuan looked back silently.
The wind-carrying bird retracted its wings and swooped down in a falling posture——
When the three of them came to the barrier, they all showed surprise expressions on their faces.
"Disappeared?" Gu Yan was startled.
Shen Cun said: "There are only two possibilities. One is that Heng Gongyu is dead, and the other is..."
Ji Xuan's tongue puffed up one side of his cheek, and continued: "Secondly, a spirit master has already passed through the barrier, and the barrier's ability to block spirits has failed."
"You'll know when you go." Shen Cun said lightly.
