Chapter 388 387. Xiao Hei's Spirit of Contract
"roar--"
Facing Xiao Hei's threatening growl with his arched back, Qiong decisively raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions and slowly backed away.
Everyone in the Mushroom Garden knows that if you have a conflict with others, you can ask the boss to make a decision. The boss likes to do this kind of thing.
But if you mess with Xiao Hei, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.
Fortunately, although Xiao Hei is not smart, he has his own behavioral logic.
After staying in the mushroom garden for a long time, everyone knows how to deal with it. It has become a common practice in the mushroom garden for everyone to carry one or two glass beads in their pockets.
But today, these ordinary glass beads have obviously lost their former charm.
In front of that pure, clear, and radiant precious gem, they were completely outshined.
In the corner, the two dwarves looked at the demons who were stopped at the periphery and dared not move forward, and felt that the situation was becoming more and more bizarre.
It was incredible that the two scrolls of shrinking magic given by Kiro came in handy so quickly and saved their lives!
At this moment, they were even more curious about the "luck" that Kiro often talked about. Unfortunately, they had already separated and didn't know when they would meet again. And given their current situation, there might not even be a possibility of reunion.
But apparently even Jiro didn't expect that they would escape to the demon clan's territory!
Look at these guys!
Half-demons, lizardmen, demon descendants, vampires... and this dragon man... There is no doubt that they accidentally broke into the demon lair.
When Tolin and Glenn realized their situation, they both felt that there was no escape this time.
They were locked in a cage, but luckily the demons didn't seem to intend to let them freeze into popsicles, so they brought a strange "buzzing" creature over.
The heat emitted by this puff allowed the two to barely keep their lives, while the demons gave priority to dealing with the space rift.
But this could not change their fate. Recalling the rumors they had heard in the tavern, both of them could foresee their own ending.
Either become a slave laborer or become a blood animal to feed vampires. It is so miserable that it might as well be better to just die!
At this moment of despair, a tall dragon man covered with thick black scales walked out of the cage, his clear eyes were particularly eye-catching.
Thorin thought the dragon woman was attracted by his tender meat, but Grum corrected him: "Your meat is not tender at all, and what she is looking at is the pendant on your neck!"
The amazing thing is that although the dragon man kept staring at the gem pendant with desire in his eyes almost overflowing, he had no intention of snatching it away directly when facing the two prisoners.
After a messy exchange of gestures, they actually used the pendant as a price to convince the dragon man to open the cage!
Unfortunately, this seemingly not-so-intelligent dragon man obviously didn't understand the meaning of their "acting quietly", and the huge noise directly attracted everyone else.
Now, they were completely surrounded.
…
The piglet folded his arms and looked at this side from a distance, with no intention of intervening.
There are many people in the mushroom garden now, and the boss has begun to preliminarily define the responsibilities of each core member.
She was responsible for mixing the captives with the cavemen and training them into a Puji Army that could cooperate in battle.
Shou was responsible for the construction and defense of the city in the far north. Xinghuo, in addition to his own birth ceremony, was also responsible for some diplomatic activities with other tribes in the north.
Norris is responsible for training the Jida warriors and also takes care of some miscellaneous tasks.
Simply put, the two captives were actually under Norris's care, and Piggy had no intention of interfering.
In the fungus network, Norris asked: "Boss, can't you let Sister Xiaohei leave?"
The boss didn't reply for a long time.
It was known that the boss couldn't have failed to hear it, so it was obvious that he wanted to make fun of himself again.
Norris sighed, lamenting the terrible working environment in his heart, separated from the people in front of him, and walked out.
"Roar!" It has to be said that Xiao Hei's sense of contract is stronger than many adventurers. He still bares his teeth when facing acquaintances.
Norris grabbed the animal skin coat on his body, pulled it off and threw it behind him. The silver scales sparkled under the light of the fluorescent mushrooms.
Xiao Hei blinked due to the shaking, and his roar became much lower, almost turning into a gurgling.
Then, Norris took out a few silver scales from his waist bag. Those were the scales that fell during the battle with Karen. Norris washed them and collected them, just in preparation for this moment.
Looking at the silver scales swinging back and forth in Norris's hand, Xiao Hei fell completely silent and involuntarily moved towards Norris little by little.
At this time, Tolin shouted anxiously: "Wait! I still have more! I'll increase the price! Increase the price!"
Seeing that his life-saving straw was about to turn against him, the dwarf hurriedly took out four more glittering top-grade gems from his arms.
Although he didn't understand what the dwarf said, Xiao Hei could still understand the action of putting the gem in front of him.
Several gems disappeared from Tolin's hands in an instant, and no one except Lin Jun could see where Xiao Hei hid the gems.
"Roar!!!" The louder roar forced everyone to retreat!
Since no one dared to really take action, the two dwarves just followed Xiao Hei and ran out.
Looking at Xiao Hei's disappearing back, Norris felt a little lost for some reason, but he also felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his loss?
Then, with the boss's words, the loss turned into pain: "Norris failed in his mission to guard the prisoner. The restriction on Karen not to attack by surprise has been lifted."
"Yeah! The boss is the best!" Karen's cheers came from the corner.
Norris: “…”
He had already started thinking about where to hide and sleep safely tonight.
…
As for the two dwarves, they ran out of the Stone Castle dungeon with Xiao Hei, amidst the strange gazes of many lizardmen and half-demons who were still unaware of the situation.
They passed by the new city under construction and saw from afar the half-built wall and the demons working inside.
No one stopped us along the way, and there were no pursuers.
After running like this for most of the day, Xiao Hei, who was sleepy and hungry, poked Tolin's little bag with the tip of his tail, indicating that it was time to give her a new shiny one.
After making sure there were no new gems, Xiao Hei flew back to the mushroom garden without hesitation, ate a passing Puji, took out the super shiny gems from the gaps between the scales, and retreated into the mushroom house to sleep.
Not only did Thorin and Glenn suddenly lose their backers, but the hot Puji they had grabbed while escaping also lost its legs for some reason and became motionless.
Although a little uneasy, now that they had escaped, warming themselves by the firewood, the two continued to run south, towards freedom.
Two days later, several Pujis dragged two short people who were frozen in the snow and ice back to the mushroom garden.
