Chapter 8 Communication



Then, Tuguan put his hands together and pointed to a pile of shovels, hoes and other tools beside him. Some simple-minded guys, such as Niutou and Damaoli, rushed up without saying a word, picked up a big shovel and started digging. With their leadership, the rest of the people also dug the ground honestly.

After Du Yuqi dug a few shovels of soil, he felt something was wrong. Although he had not seen much, he had dealt with monsters like the Gu-killing Insect since he entered the Arad Continent. If there really were insect monsters like the one Tu Guan said, there would be no reason why there would be no traces on the ground. Moreover, this was a magnificent city, and the chance of a powerful monster appearing was definitely not too high. Otherwise, how could it survive until now? It should have been killed long ago.

Next, when Du Yuqi saw that Tuguan was actually directing a group of people to transport the excavated soil to a designated place, the weird feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, but he still needed to test it to confirm its truth.

So when Tu Guan came over and directed people to transport the soil far away again, Du Yuqi suddenly said:

"We are here to help you find the strange bugs, not to dig a hole for you. Can't we just pile the dirt here? Why do we have to move it over there?"

Du Yuqi's words undoubtedly resonated with the people around him. Tu Guan leaned against the wall next to him and laughed:

"It is clearly written in the sacrificial contract we signed that this monster bug can secrete venom. Wherever it drills through, it will leave venom and cause plague. Therefore, the excavated soil must be piled together for centralized processing."

As soon as these words were spoken and the subject of the sacred contract was brought up, even Du Yuqi felt overwhelmed for a moment and was speechless.

So everyone had to continue doing the hard labor. However, the people who dug the pit were all abnormal people with extremely strong physical strength. Not to mention the minotaur whose arms were thicker than Du Yuqi's waist, even the goblin was full of tendons and his skin was dark brown all over. He looked like a muscular stick. If you don't look at his face, he would look very much like the black muscular sticks like Wade and James in the NBA on Earth.

So after working for a whole morning, an astonishingly large pit appeared behind the shop. If a large number of rocks had not begun to appear underneath, it might have been even bigger.

Fortunately, it was customary to have lunch and rest at noon. Although Tu Guan was cunning, he also knew that people had to eat well before they could work, so he directly asked someone to bring a large load of food. These foods were of various shapes and sizes, and there was a dazzling array of them:

The staple food is a pot-lid-sized flatbread, which is baked very crispy and sprinkled with sesame seeds and other things. It tastes very crispy and fragrant.

In addition, the meal also included large pieces of dried meat, sizzling steak, creamy magic flower salad, etc. The fruit was a basket of ripe blueberries, one bite at a time, and tasted sweet and sour. If you think these things are too dry, there is soybean and eggplant soup in the big wooden barrel next to it. Du Yuqi has never tasted such soup, but after tasting it, she thinks the taste is acceptable.

Finally, each person had a glass of black tequila. Du Yuqi took a sip and felt that it tasted a bit like rice wine mixed with chocolate, with a strange taste. Seeing the Goblin Jet next to him staring at him with greedy eyes, he simply handed it to him. The guy immediately drank it in one gulp without any disgust, and his face was intoxicated.

The sun was getting hotter at noon. After eating and drinking his fill, Big Hairy Hoof found a cool place to lie down on the wall next to him, and then he hugged his totem pole and snored loudly. The others were also feeling sleepy and took naps.

After seeing that everyone had finished eating, Tuguan hurried over and seemed to urge them to continue digging the pit. However, when he saw that everyone was fast asleep, he sighed, endured it for a moment, and turned away. Du Yuqi saw this and felt that there was something wrong.

He had already rested before coming here, and he didn't want to sleep for a while. He had already found an opportunity to count the things in the dimensional ring and found that they were all intact. He took out a pack of soft cloud cigarettes, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth to smoke, just to keep himself awake.

However, when he was halfway through inhaling, Du Yuqi suddenly felt something in his heart, so he turned around and saw someone next to him looking at him. It was the sickly man who called himself Buwant, who seemed to be very curious about his smoking.

Du Yuqi was an extrovert by nature, so she smiled, walked over, took out a cigarette and lit it for him. This was also the most common way for men to get closer to each other when communicating. Sure enough, Buwant did not refuse, but took a puff, sucking the cigarette directly into his lungs, and then exhaled a long puff of light blue smoke. It was obvious that he was an old smoker.

After the conversation, I learned that Buwant came from a place called "Ston Snowland", where it is cold all year round, so refreshing things like liquor and tobacco are very popular there. However, the tobacco that Buwant usually smokes is similar to local tobacco and dry tobacco, which is definitely incomparable to the mellow taste of flue-cured tobacco made with modern technology that Du Yuqi brought from the earth.

Post-dinner cigarettes are good at harmonizing the atmosphere. After smoking two post-dinner cigarettes, Du Yuqi and Buwante were already chatting very congenially. This was probably fate. The two had just met and had nothing in common, so the topic naturally turned to the earthen jar. After turning to it and listening to what Buwante said, Du Yuqi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and knew that he had really fallen into a big pit by responding to the call this time!

It turns out that the purpose of Tujar's sacrifice this time was not to drive away the strange insects, but to find someone to dig a hole for him!

What was he digging for? His business was good, so he planned to build a big house at the back, with the downstairs used as a warehouse and the upstairs rented out for living. This was in line with his principle of making money from money...

How did the earthen jar work to exploit loopholes? He caught a common local insect, which is actually similar to centipedes and centipedes. It is indeed poisonous. Ordinary people will have allergies and itching after it crawls over their skin.

In this case, the content of Tuguan's contract is true. A terrible monster did appear near his shop, and the mucus secreted by the monster's body would have a very bad impact on the surrounding environment... However, he did not say that the worm was only one inch long... But not saying it does not mean lying, right?
