Volume 20 Chapter 89 A more terrifying banquet than the execution ground
I originally heard the screams, I thought Prometheus was attacked, so I rushed in with my weapon. But when I landed, I saw that Prometheus was sitting by the wall, just holding his head back and hiding, and there was a circle in front of him... Monster?
Yes, it is indeed not human. Although the creatures in front of them have the basic appearance of humans, their body appearance is nothing to do with humans. The guys are covered with dark green scales, which looks like fish that have been mutated by chemical pollution. Their heads are bare and have no hair, only a skin derivative that looks like a cockscomb. In addition, these guys' eyes occupy at least one quarter of the face, and look like two fried eggs covered on their faces.
Apart from their very big eyes, these guys seem to have no noses. Their noses only have two holes, and there is no feeling of protruding outwards at all. There is also the big bloody mouth, which is so big that it can be grinned directly to the ears. The fangs are full of mouths, and the arrangement is not neat, one inside and one outside, and it looks super scary.
After seeing the appearance of these guys, I immediately confirmed their race. Yes, these guys are the so-called piranhas. According to bloodline, they should actually be close relatives with the mermaids, but the difference in appearance is indeed a bit big. I said that the skeleton guide I caught outside looked a bit strange. It turned out that the problem was the appearance. At that time, I found that the eye socket of the little skeleton was very large, but because the eye sockets were not directly related to the appearance size of the eye sockets, I didn't expect the piranhas to grow like this at that time. There was also that mouth. The little skeleton had no teeth in its mouth, so I didn't know that the teeth of the piranhas were not human-like structures, but were full of fangs.
In this way, it seems that these members of the piranha clan look a little better when they become skeletons.
Just now, I saw Prometheus being dragged out just because the piranhas wanted to help Prometheus leave the narrow cave, but Prometheus was frightened by the other party's appearance, so he made that scream. In other words, although these guys in front of him were a little scary, they actually had a good personality.
After I figured out the situation, of course, I immediately put Yongheng away, and then turned around and kicked Prometheus. "Stop calling, do you think you are a soprano? They just want to help you out, what are you calling?"
"Huh? Don't you want to eat me?" Prometheus looked up at the members of the piranha clan staring at him. Although he was still quite scared, he began to feel a little embarrassed. After all, he was also the president of a famous Greek guild, and was actually scared by monsters to be so virtuous. Thanks to the fact that there is no one here except me, otherwise his glorious image would probably be completely finished if it was spread.
Seeing that Prometheus finally realized, I stopped him, but turned around and asked the piranhas: "Hello everyone, I am an envoy from the ground and want to repair the sea and land connection teleportation array. I wonder which leader here is or can you send it on your behalf?"
Although these guys are scary, the system determines that they are human-shaped intelligent creatures, so my super charm and pressure attributes are all effective for them. After hearing my words, a small group of people immediately walked out of the crowd. There was only one person standing in the front, and about a dozen people followed behind them. They should be all lower-level existences, and judging from their figure and what they wear, this group of people should be the leadership class here.
Before coming in, I inquired about the royal system they implemented here. Unless a rebellion occurs, they will lead the entire clan. Unfortunately, the little skeleton refused to come in with me because he was too sad, so I couldn't let him point out the identities of these people to me. However, based on his introduction, I roughly judged that the group of people who came out were the royal family members and their senior officials here.
At the front of the line was a member of the piranha who looked quite thin, but the equipment on the other party clearly showed that this guy was the king here. Sure enough, after walking out of the queue, the other party immediately spoke in an extremely sweet voice, "Hello outsider, I am the queen of here Lalasi. What do you call it?"
Queen?
If you only look at your figure, the person in front of you does meet the standards of women. The waist is very thin, the buttocks are slightly wider, but it is not an exaggeration, the chest is also obviously bulging, and the S-curve is still very good. However, with the green skin with obvious yellow spots on the outside, this perfect figure is not perfect at all. In addition, the other party's voice just now also sounded quite beautiful. If you pull it out and fill a few records, it will definitely be a big seller. Of course, the premise is that you cannot know what she looks like, otherwise, except for some curiosity enthusiasts and professional musicians, I guess you don't expect to sell one. Speaking of which, Adina's voice seems to be very good. From this point of view, the piranha is indeed close relatives to the mermaids. At least the inheritance of this perfect voice is correct, but I don't know how the appearance of the two evolves into two extremes!
"Hello Her Majesty, I am Zi Ri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance. Because there are some things that need to be seen by Lord Poseidon, I hope to open the sea and land teleportation channel. On the way here, I encountered a dead soul transformed into a noble member after his death. I learned from him about the location of your hiding place and the difficulties you encountered." Although the other party did not ask, I think it would be better to tell the question of how to know their hiding place first. After all, from another perspective, if you prepare a secret hiding place yourself, you will end up with a
A stranger suddenly found you accurately. Wouldn't you be nervous and curious about how the other party found you? As for the little skeleton I resurrected was the undead they encountered, this is mainly because they were afraid that the other party would be taboo. After all, undead creatures are not a popular race. Even if the settings in "Zero" do not set the undead as public enemies on the mainland like in some fantasy and literary works, at least they are not a popular race. Therefore, in order to prevent it, I did not tell the truth, otherwise if the other party refuses to cooperate because of this matter, it would be troublesome!
After hearing my commentary, the other party finally felt relieved, and the queen said, "No matter what, this is the first time that our piranha tribe has visited in so many years. So, please go to the banquet hall with me and let us hold a welcome meeting and talk about the resumption of the teleportation channel."
Of course I would not refuse such a request, but I soon regretted it. If I had known that the food of the piranha was such a thing, I should have negotiated the cooperation at the gate and then left immediately. Unfortunately, I have come in now and I can't do anything to run away.
Because they are close relatives, the piranhas also master the waterproof door technology similar to the mermaids. However, the mermaids are relatively rich, so they built a large cover to cover the entire city. The piranhas only installed a waterproof door at the door of each building, so their gathering ground is full of water, but the building is dry.
This banquet hall is naturally protected by a waterproof door like other buildings, and it is completely dry inside. However, because I was forced to move once in the middle, the facilities here are quite simple. Compared with the gorgeous banquet hall of the Mermaid clan, the banquet hall of the Piranha clan is basically at the level of the thatched hut of the chief of the indigenous tribe. Moreover, after the other party served "various delicacies", Prometheus and I immediately turned green.
Looking at the various foods in the large washbasin dug out of stones, I felt the urge to spit out the overnight meal together. In theory, the things in this basin are all seafood. If you really need to cook them well, they taste very good. Moreover, this is definitely a pure natural pollution-free food, and the health effect is first-class. Unfortunately, these things are just a little fresh. Look at the unknown ball of meat covered with tentacles, they are still squirming while
Waving tentacles, fighting with a sea worm that looks like a mutant cockroach. How do you think I'm going to eat this? At least you have to slice the Japanese sashimi first? Have you ever seen them chewing on the live animals? I heard that some Guangdong compatriots dare to eat this, but I am not from Guangdong, let alone the other Guangdong, so I am currently trying hard to suppress the surging feeling of gastrointestinal swelling to prevent spitting it out, and at the same time, I have to put a smile on my face and talk to the queen.
"Hey, Zi Ri. Can I not eat this?" Prometheus asked in a low voice looking at me with a sad expression.
I leaned my head slightly with a smile, but my face still faced the queen and whispered: "Keep smiling, don't move if you don't want to eat, but don't show it. If possible, find something that can swallow and taste it."
After hearing my words, Prometheus had no choice but to smile to deal with it, but after trying for a long time, he only showed an expression that was even more ugly than crying. I couldn't blame him too much. After all, there were such disgusting things in the food bowl under his nose, and the seats around him were filled with strange creatures that challenged the limits of human beings. It was indeed a bit harder to keep a smile at this time.
After the first food bowl was brought up, some legendary court maids sent other complementary foods. Of course, both the appearance of the court maids and the shape of those complementary foods were still so troublesome!
After the meal was finished, the so-called dancers of the two teams entered the banquet hall and started performing dances. However, in my opinion, this one was indeed a group of demons dancing. Of course, even if it was ugly, we had to look at it with a very appreciative look. After all, this is a matter of politeness.
Fortunately, the dancer was just a show to entertain, and did not jump from the opening to the end. He immediately evacuated the banquet hall after the end of the song.
After the banquet hall could be quiet again, the queen began to invite everyone to have a meal. Of course, because we were guests, the queen mainly signaled to us. Seeing the other person's eyes were always on our side, I knew it would be impossible not to eat. Of course, I would not jump into the fire pit by myself, so I naturally pounded Prometheus next to me. The latter obviously pretended not to feel it, but the ghost insect I sent out had to eat it after biting it hard on the butt.
I lowered my head and studied it in the pile of so-called food for a long time, and finally I found something that didn't look so disgusting. "Haha, there is actually kelp."
Although this kelp is raw, it doesn't look disgusting anyway. Although it tastes bad if eaten raw, it is not very unpalatable. However, just as I was excited to find the kelp and started to chew, Prometheus's resentful voice came from beside me.
"What? You actually have kelp over there? Why don't I have it?"
After hearing the resentful voice, I secretly turned my head and glanced at Prometheus, and found that he was holding the kind of meat balls I saw with the kind of tentacle-covered meat I had seen before, and it was full of green mucus. It was so disgusting.
Although we all took only one bite, the queen there stopped paying attention to food when she saw us moving, but began to get to the point and ask about the recovery channel.
"President Zi Ri, how should we cooperate with the cooperation you mentioned before? If we want to clean up the monsters outside, we are really powerless. You have also seen that in order to avoid monsters, we have to hide here. If there is a way to fight, we will not be forced to move!"
"Of course I understand this, so I don't plan to ask you to send troops to help. The cooperation I mentioned is just to hope that you can provide me with intelligence support, and to find out what instruments to restore. As for the monster's problem, I will go to the scene to see the situation first. If the problem is not big, I will close the entrance and exit of the monster's waters, and then clear out the monsters flowing in the waters here. If the monsters over there are too fierce and cannot block the entrance and exit, then I may kill all the monsters over there to help you completely clean up the place."
"But those monsters are very powerful. Can you kill them all by yourself?" The Piranha Queen was obviously skeptical of my strength.
Of course I won’t argue with the other party about this, because it’s useless to argue. “Her Majesty the Queen can rest assured that I have cleared a monster on the way here. That monster seems to me just a messenger, so I think even if the monster in the monster waters is stronger than that one, there shouldn’t be any big problem.”
"Since you have confidence, just do it. As long as you can ensure the safety of the waters, we will definitely send technicians to debug the machine." The queen's meaning was obvious. She obviously still didn't believe in my strength, so everything was just based on my actions. If it was confirmed that there was no problem, it would be natural for her to send people. As for me, I certainly don't worry. Anyway, I came to them just to communicate in advance, so it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. As long as I can ensure the safety of the waters, they have to believe it if they don't believe it after seeing the facts. If I can't guarantee the safety of the waters, even if they believe it, they can't restore the sea-land connection, so their attitude is not important.
After the main talks, the banquet cannot end immediately. After all, this is a nominal welcome banquet rather than a business meeting, so I have to eat it after the talks. Just looking at the pile of lively food, I regret not shirking off this welcome banquet before! This is really a sin that cannot be lived!
