Chapter 20: Quarrel



It was impossible to stay in this place anymore. Ji Huaichuan quietly threw something into the dark corner of the cabin, and then there was a loud noise.

The noise startled the mercenaries who were resting, as well as Wuxie, Aning and others.

"Evil child...is it an evil child?" A mercenary swallowed in fear.

Aning didn't believe it, so he walked over to see what it was. When he got closer, he kicked it open, and Wuxie followed him.

When I shone a flashlight there, I found that it was hollow and the material around it was actually human skin!

Ji Huaichuan also saw it from behind. After seeing the layer of human skin, he rolled his eyes in his heart. This was definitely something that the old man and the young boy had discussed together.

Before his master died, he and Yao Qiong had similar interests. The two of them often made some strange things together. The production methods were cruel. He couldn't stand it and never watched them make them.

But according to the fairy sisters under Yao Qiong, there are very few truly useful things they made, and this human skin wrapped in white phosphorus is one of the useless things.

At this time, one of the mercenaries struggled and screamed a few times, then lost his voice. The remaining one was so scared that he shouted that it was the evil child who was asking for his life.

"Shut up!" Aning shouted angrily.

Wuxie went over to look at the dead person. It was crush syndrome and he could still be saved.

Several people were carrying things and people and were preparing to leave the cabin quickly. Aning used a flying claw to hook the deck. When he was climbing up, the flying claw fell off because the deck was old and deteriorated, and Aning fell down with it.

"Are you okay?" Wuxie quickly ran over and helped Aning up.

Ji Huaichuan looked at the human skin in the corner that was about to burn and said, "Help Aning and move quickly. Those human skins can't hold us back."

But who would have thought that those things would actually release poisonous gas. By the time Ji Huaichuan discovered it, he had already inhaled a lot and felt a little dizzy. Aning also discovered the poisonous gas. As soon as she finished speaking, she found that something was wrong with Ji Huaichuan. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Ji Huaichuan fall to the ground with a bang.

A second before falling to the ground, Ji Huaichuan sighed that his body couldn't even withstand this little bit of poison gas, he was really useless.

Wuxie quickly went to find a weak spot in the cabin and smashed it open. After smashing for a long time without any change, Aning pushed Wuxie away, and then kicked it twice, and a hole was broken in the plank.

"Take Ji Huaichuan out first, I'll go and drag them away."

Then he turned and went into the cabin.

Wuxie didn't dare to delay and quickly dragged Ji Huaichuan out.

When several people came out, they were all covered in dust and dirt, as if they had just returned from a disaster.

"I'm so tired. It's already dark and my feet are sore from walking. Why haven't we reached the next intersection yet?" The fat man said loudly with his hands on his hips.

"What are you yelling about? Just take a break if you're tired. We're all walking together, why are you the only one who's tired?" Pan Zi was a little agitated unlike usual.

"Don't talk nonsense to me! I'm already annoyed!" The fat man said angrily, as if someone owed him millions.

Pan Zi glanced at him, suppressed his anger, said nothing, and continued walking forward.

Zhang Qiling took the lead and left when the fat man shouted for the first time. Shen Tingsi followed behind. He looked at the abnormality of the two people and twisted his fingers. The little girl had a lot of strange things. There were some things in this devil city that could amplify people's emotions. The fat man and Pan Zi were caught in it.

The few of them walked for a while, but still didn't encounter the next pile of stones.

"Hey, this is weird. Could someone be trying to trick us on purpose?"

"This is Devil City. Do you think it's a tourist attraction?"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks here. Tell me what's going on."

"Wrong way..."

Seeing that Fatty and Pan Zi were about to quarrel again, Zhang Qiling lowered his head and thought for a long time before realizing that they had come to the wrong place.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but everyone can do this after the fact. Now everyone knows that they made a mistake." Pan Zi was a little unhappy.

"No, Pan Zi, you are born in the year of the dog, right? Why do you bite whoever you catch? If you are smart, then draw a path. Which way should you go?!" The fat man began to point and criticize.

Shen Tingsi laughed as he listened. Well, the quarrel started again. "You two, calm down and listen to what this young man has to say."

The two of them stopped talking, out of sight, out of mind. The fat man turned around and left. Shen Tingsi knew that the two of them kept quiet not because of his face, but because they knew he had a bad temper and would get beaten if they quarreled again.

Zhang Qiling usually keeps quiet. Seeing that he is a quiet person with a good temper, they will naturally be a little more unrestrained.

According to Shen Tingsi, these people should be beaten up if they need to, since they can't beat him, so why bother? Those who spoke to him like that last time, I guess the grass on their graves is two feet high.

Zhang Qiling looked at Shen Tingsi and felt that this person's behavior was a bit familiar, a bit like Xiaochuan.

Considering that the two of them had just pushed and shoved and almost got into a fight, Zhang Qiling told Pan Zi that it was affected by the Devil City. Pan Zi also reacted and began to worry about the fat man.

A few people chased along the road again, shouting as they walked, and finally they found a fire. They followed the fire and found the fat man.

"I'm calling you, fat guy, why haven't you said anything for so long?" Pan Zi asked.

The fat man was still angry. He glanced at Chen Tingsi quietly, poked the fire and said, "I, Fatty, will keep my word. I won't talk to you. Let's go our separate ways and ignore each other."

"Come on, the fire you lit can be seen outside the Devil City. You are just afraid that we can't find you." Pan Zi said with a smile, putting his hands on his hips.

"Nonsense, it's because it's cold at night!"

The two were still bickering, but the tension was gone. Zhang Qiling watched silently from the side. Shen Tingsi stared at the fire for a long time and then quietly turned away. When he came back, he had a handful of scorpions in his hand, all of which were quite big.

"Fatty, use local ingredients. Quick, roast them!"

The fat man was too far away to see clearly at first, but when Shen Tingsi got closer, he saw that it was a scorpion.

"Oh my god! Where did you get so much of this stuff?"

"I dug out a few nests. They're original and high in protein. Wouldn't you like some?"

To be honest, if he hadn't taken into consideration that they couldn't accept it, he would have eaten this little thing raw. It was just enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

They didn't care whether they were disgusted or not. Fatty and Pan Zi processed the scorpion and roasted it over the fire. Zhang Qiling was not interested in it and sat alone on the side looking at the sky.

Shen Tingsi was poking at the fire, feeling bored. Seeing Zhang Qiling sitting alone, he felt like teasing him.

He stood up and walked to Zhang Qiling, but Zhang Qiling didn't move, as if he didn't notice him.

"What are you thinking about, young man?"

Zhang Qiling: …

Seeing that he didn't react, Shen Tingsi laughed and said, "Ha, let me guess, you're not thinking about your little lover, are you? Hiss... Let me think, is it that kid Huaichuan?"

Zhang Qiling then made a move, turned his head and looked at Shen Tingsi, with the three words "quickly tell me" written on his face.

"It seems to be true. Do you want to hear his childhood story?" Shen Tingsi continued to ask.

"Who are you?"

Zhang Qiling was still very cautious. Although he really wanted to listen, he still had to ask clearly.

"Me? I am..."
