Chapter 220: Gap Journey


    After fully gaining the power of the Death Rune, Duanmu Huai immediately set off to the location of the big elevator. Originally, according to Lani, the big elevator required a key to activate it, but Duanmu Huai was too lazy to look for it. Knowing where the key was hidden, he activated his jetpack and flew directly to the Yatan Plateau.


    ?Just as Lani said, the outside of the royal city was in a mess, with ruins and debris left by the war everywhere. There were even several huge steel giants walking on the ground, holding long bows in their hands and moving slowly. But Duanmu Huai didn''t bother to provoke these boring puppets. He bypassed the battlefield directly and planned to go to the Huoshan Mansion from the other side.


    However, just as Duanmuhuai was halfway there, suddenly, a familiar fragrance came.


    Um? This smell is not...


    Smelling this smell, Duanmu Huai''s eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned around and walked in the direction of the scent. Not long after, Duanmu Huai saw a man sitting there by the river below the royal city, and he The big pot in front of him exudes a fragrant aroma.


    “Who is it?!”


    ?Hearing Duanmuhuai''s footsteps, the man was startled and stood up hastily. When he saw the terrifying behemoth not far behind him, the man was even more frightened and pulled out his knife. Seeing the man like this, Duanmuhuai hurriedly took off his helmet and said hello to him.


    “It’s me.”


    “Hey, it’s you, it really shocked me.”


    ?Seeing Duanmuhuai''s familiar face, the man was relieved, and Duanmuhuai also walked to sit next to the man, while looking at the red crabs burning in the pot.


    “Did the taste change this time?”


    “Hey, it’s not bad to eat crabs.”


    ??The man chuckled. In fact, this man was none other than Brother Xiazi, who had eaten spicy crayfish with Duanmu Huai in Liyenia before. At this moment, he was also staring at the pot, then raised his head to look at Duanmuhuai, and rubbed his hands in embarrassment.


    "Um... I have a heartfelt request. Do you still have the seasonings you put in before? Although I collected the rest after that, it is difficult to save..."


    "no problem."


    Duanmuhuai also smelled that the spicy aroma in the pot was not very strong. It seemed that after that, Brother Xiazi had reused the soup ingredients in it countless times, and now the smell was not that strong. So without saying anything else, he took out a bunch of hot pot ingredients from his pocket, opened it, and handed it over.


    “Give it to you.”


    “Hey, thanks!”


    Brother Xiazi was obviously very excited. He reached out excitedly to take the hot pot ingredients from Duanmu Huai, then took some and put them into the pot, and then carefully stored the rest. Soon, not long after Brother Xiazi added the seasoning again, the spicy and fragrant smell came from the pot again. Looking at the sweet and plump crabs, people couldn''t help but salivate.


    “Okay!”


    Soon, the two of them reached out and began to enjoy the delicious crabs in front of them. I have to say that Brother Xiazi really knows how to cook, at least he knows how to cook these things better than Duanmu Huai. When he cooked crayfish before, Duanmu Huai just threw the seasonings in, and the taste was a bit heavy. However, since the spicy crayfish itself has a strong taste, it is not a big problem.


    But when it comes to the ingredients used for crabs, Brother Xiazi is obviously very particular about it. He uses no more ingredients and no less ingredients, which brings out the deliciousness of the crabs without losing the spicy excitement and aroma. For a while, the two of them were devouring the food. Very happy.


    Soon, the pot of crabs was eaten up by the two of them, and Brother Xiazhi also sat on the ground, touching his round belly.


    “It’s so comfortable...”


    “What are your plans next?”


    While Duanmuhuai was eating crabs, he looked at Brother Xiazi curiously. He could tell that Brother Xiazi was just an ordinary person, and he didn''t seem to have any plans. But now he was alone in this dangerous junction. Running around...could he be planning to become a gourmet?


    "I don''t know either."


    Brother Xiazi shrugged his shoulders.


    "I used to be just a little gangster who was locked in a cell and escaped later. Who knows, the world has become like this now... I don''t know where I should go or what I should do... I don''t know. Knowing what this **** world will become..."


    “I think with your skills, it would be good to open a restaurant.”


    “Hahaha, that’s a good idea.”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s words, Brother Xiazi burst out laughing.


    “If you are interested, I can introduce you to a place.”


    ? Duanmu Huai thought for a while, and then said that he and Brother Xiazi were close friends. Although they only met each other a few times, they had eaten delicacies together, and Duanmu Huai did not want Brother Xiazi to die somewhere.


    "I''m going to go to the Huoshan Mansion to find someone now. If you believe me, just wait for me here. When I come back, I''ll take you to a place. Although it''s not particularly prosperous, it''s better than the place where this lunatic is running around. Much better.”


    "Um………"


    Hearing Duanmuhuai’s suggestion, Brother Xiazi thought for a while, then nodded. "Okay, I want to see what good place you introduce to me... Then I''ll wait for you here."


    While chatting with Brother Xiazi and eating crabs, Duanmuhuai did not forget to contact Bambi and Melphi through telepathy to inquire about their progress, and Bambi did bring a message to Duanmuhuai - they were not No trace of Mystrina was found on the Weeping Peninsula, but the wandering merchant here provided them with a clue. He once saw a girl with a similar appearance heading towards Stonewell City...


    ?Mistrina went to Stonewell?


    I have to say that Duanmuhuai was somewhat surprised when he heard this, but he was sure that he and Mystrina must have missed each other, so Duanmuhuai also told Bambi to let her and Milfi continue to follow this clue to find her. . At the same time, Duanmu Huai felt somewhat relaxed deep in his heart.


    At least for now, Mystrina should be above the junction, not below - if she were deeper underground, it might be harder to find.


    “…Oh, I’d better tell you something.”


    ?Just when Duanmuhuai and Bambi finished communicating, Brother Xiazi, who was sitting there eating, seemed to have thought of something, looked at Duanmuhuai and said.


    “Do you know about copro-eaters?”


    “While we’re eating, please don’t say anything disgusting, okay?”


    Duanmuhuai glanced at the crab roe in his hand... You didn''t do it on purpose, did you?


    “Hahaha, sorry, that’s a lunatic wearing disgusting, ugly armor, cursing the world.”


    After saying this, Brother Xiazi’s expression became much more serious.


    "You can tell from the looks of it that you are very strong, but I still have to tell you, if you meet that guy, don''t get close to him... I was in the same cell with him before, so I know. That guy is as young as me. The gangster is different, he is a very scary man. That guy will kill people in order to set an eternal curse on the soul, and then cover the whole body with his own curse... to defile the corpse..."


    As he spoke, Brother Xiazi seemed to recall something and couldn''t help but tremble.


    "...I have never seen such a disgusting sight. I saw defiled corpses near here before, and that guy is here...be careful not to touch him, that guy is not a good thing."


    “Okay, thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention to it.”


    Of course, Duanmu Huai wouldn''t look down on a guy who just eats something...forget it, doesn''t talk about this stuff when eating, but when he saw Brother Xiazi looking disgusted, he also remembered this guy to some extent. down. Obviously, this is not fun.


    If you encounter one, just kill it.


    ??While Duanmuhuai was chatting and eating with Brother Xiazi, Mystrina was experiencing the most terrifying adventure in her life.


    “Miss Haida, do you want to keep going?”


    ? Holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, Mystrina looked at Haida beside her uneasily. After that, she followed the blind witch to the Royal City. However, to Mystrina''s surprise, the location of the lights on the other side that Haida sensed was exactly in the sewer of the Royal City. .


    ?Hmm, Mystrina swore that she had never been to such a dirty place.


    ?The entire sewer was extremely dark, filled with rotting rats as big as dogs, as well as humans and plants that had twisted and mutated under the curse, not to mention the sewage flowing across the ground and the stench coming from the pavement. It was even more unbearable for Mystrina. She had never encountered a similar situation in the forest. What was born here was not just some kind of rotten or broken thing. Mystrina could feel that in the darkness deep in the sewer, there seemed to be something more...


    …………!”


    At this moment, Mystrina suddenly stopped. She raised her shield in front of her and stared carefully ahead. Then, under Mystrina''s gaze, a strange, twisted figure slowly appeared.


    He was wearing dirty, ugly armor that was full of corruption and stench. His whole body looked like it had been soaked in excrement, and was filled with a disgusting and extremely irritating aura. And the pustules and dirt covered on the surface of the armor were even more difficult to look at.


    I saw him slowly raising his head and staring at Mystrina fiercely. Feeling the other party''s gaze, Mystrina couldn''t help but shudder. She couldn''t feel any kindness from those eyes, all she had was pure hatred, hatred, anger, and disgust for everything in this world.


    “…I will kill you and defile you. I will eat all of you, I am…a coprophagic eater! A curse to you all!”


    ?While shouting, he raised the sword in his hand.


    "I will kill you, and I will completely defile your corpses! Let everyone be born under the curse, and let the curse of future generations continue to flow! I want to kill -!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, the other party rushed towards Mystrina!


    “Miss Haida, please stay away from me!”


    ?Mistrina raised her shield and shouted loudly. Although she didn''t know who this scary guy was, it was obvious that he had set his sights on her.


    “I am the forest princess Mystrina! You evil person, suffer death!”


    ?While roaring loudly, Mystrina raised her shield and faced the monster in front of her.
