Chapter 39 Aren’t you really hungry?
The cloaked man raised his head slightly and said softly:
"Did you know?
In the Golden Flower and Bird Kingdom, the earth is regarded as the foundation of life and the mother of all things. The earth is the starting point of all living things.
On the annual prayer day, there will be a ceremony of kissing the earth and thanking the Mother Goddess.
In the ceremony, flowers and grass are regarded as the most primitive gifts given by the earth to mankind, and those who believe in the principle of flowers will also kiss flowers and grass.
I wasn’t just eating grass, I was kissing the earth!”
"???"
Chen Qi frowned and looked at the few weeds on the corners of the other party's mouth.
What is she talking about?
You call this a kiss? Kissed into the mouth?
Flowers symbolize nature, joy, art, beauty and other elements.
Chen Qi remembered that some flower professions did have the ability to restore blood through eating grass and restoring blood through photosynthesis.
But weed is really unpalatable.
And it’s not very elegant to say it out loud.
Her squirming appearance also lacked the elegance that the ceremony should have.
"Aren't you really hungry?"
Chen Qi asked curiously. He still had some food in his backpack.
"no."
The cloaked woman hesitated for a moment and replied firmly.
Okay... Chen Qi was not surprised by this answer.
In such an imbalanced place, not many people would accept food from strangers.
When hungry, many people would rather eat grass.
The cloaked woman's ability to resist hunger is extraordinary. He glanced at the huge wormhole door and quickly changed the subject: "Are you also the one who came to participate in this rift?"
Chen Qi looked around.
Near this street, many civilians have fled far away because of gang connections.
The people who can stay around here are either participating in the rift, or selling information and equipment.
Chen Qi thought for a moment:
"I'm a chef and I want to see if I can make some money nearby."
"Chef! Really?"
The cloaked woman was startled and swallowed a mouthful of water. The fragrant cake suddenly appeared in her mind.
She suspected that the other party might have noticed that she was hungry and was teasing her again!
Suddenly, Chen Qi discovered that there were some strange changes in the cloaked woman.
The cloak covering her head had some slight bulges like ocean waves inexplicably!
What's going on? Does her hair move? Could it be squirming flesh and blood?
Chen Qi was shocked.
He immediately thought of the monsters in many games who used cloaks to cover up their terrifying figures!
All of these monsters are hidden BOSS-level characters.
If you take a closer look, you will see that this man has his whole body covered tightly.
And the exposed arms and legs were also wrapped with bandages.
The cloak was pulled down so low that the upper half of his face could not be seen clearly.
A very mysterious person...
Chen Qi's curiosity was aroused as she wanted to lift off her cloak.
Unfortunately, he is not strong enough now and is not very polite, so he can only temporarily suppress the idea of lifting the other party's cloak.
According to his gaming experience, the moment the opponent takes off his cloak, it is likely that a terrifying second phase will begin.
The cloaked woman seemed to be aware of the strange bulge in her cloak. She turned her head in the direction of the wormhole and said mysteriously:
“It seems that you are a newcomer to the rift.
Just a reminder, in that rift, unimaginable horrors will occur. "
The moment she finished speaking, the cloaked woman dusted herself off and walked towards the street.
"ha?"
What horror? Chen Qi looked at the cloaked woman's back.
After telling a riddle, he ran away.
Damn it, let him meet a damn Riddler!
Judging from the situation just now, the cloaked woman should be the same person as him, who is preparing to participate in the rift alone.
Moreover, the other party should have many secrets hidden in him. In Moonstone City, there is no shortage of people with secrets.
"It's better to go and get some information first..."
Chen Qi took out his 'reporter' business card and walked towards the newsstand ahead.
The newsstand was built next to a weapons store. The surrounding light was dim and hazy. The boss behind the window was an old man with thick hair and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
He narrowed his eyes and asked in a thick voice:
"Guest, what newspaper do you want? The Witch Times, the newly released White Dove Times, or the Men's Times that introduces the lives of celebrities. Of course, we have some newspapers that show the beautiful curves of the human body."
Chen Qi said bluntly: "I want some information about that crack."
The old man adjusted his glasses:
"The newspaper about cracks, guest, will be a little more expensive than a normal newspaper. If you have a newspaper membership, it will be cheaper."
The old man made a five sign to him.
Five thousand shellfish coins...
Not expensive.
Chen Qi thought for a while and handed Peilu's business card to the other party:
"With this business card, how much more do you need?"
I don’t know how much discount Peilu can get due to her reputation.
The old man lowered his head, glanced, and clenched his fist: "It's Pelu again..."
This kind old man's eyes suddenly turned a bit resentful.
Chen Qi frowned.
Judging from the other party's expression, the name Miracle Reporter Peilu is not as useful as imagined.
After all, there should be hundreds of business cards that Pei Lu spilled out, not a thousand.
No matter how good something is, it will depreciate if there are too many of it.
Chen Qi stretched out his hand, preparing to pay some money, but it was better to buy peace of mind with the money.
But the next second, the old man interrupted him: "No, guests, with the business card, there is no need to pay separately. This is the rule of our industry, even though it is a little...cute like Peilu , but rules are rules.”
Even if you don’t make any money? Chen Qi stopped taking out money.
You know, the other party can completely accept the money secretly, and no one will know.
This organization called [Newspaper Club] was more disciplined than he imagined.
The old man poked his head out of the window, made sure there was no one around, and whispered:
“Guest, rest assured, the newspaper company will always be worthy of your trust.
According to our intelligence, the crack you are about to go to will be more dangerous than you imagine. Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
Therefore, the people from the Black Rabbit Gang and the Wild Dog Gang will guard the crack. "
"Elaborate."
"The crack you are about to go to is called the Hunting Ground, and it is a blade-shaped crack.
Large cracks are the most advanced E-level cracks. First-level transcendent people can enter, with a maximum number of fifty people. At the same time, there is also a supervisor who can join the monster camp.
The time when the crack will open is at twelve o'clock at noon tomorrow.
Of course, this is all information you should know. "
Hunting ground... Chen Qi noted this down. He was deeply impressed by this type of crack.
The old man took out a newspaper and continued:
“The next piece of information is a little bit more demanding.
According to the dusty files, this crack was opened ten years ago. At that time, a powerful gang leader discovered a hidden treasure guarded by a monster in the crack.
Unfortunately, the gang leader was exhausted due to excessive physical strength. In the end, he was defeated by the monster guarding the treasure and died in the crack.
Later, when the distortion of the crack dropped to zero, it was permanently closed. This treasure became completely unobtainable, and the matter was gradually forgotten. "
"But now, the tidal wind has blown away the dusty fog, and many things buried by history have reappeared."
Then, the old man looked at the heavily armed treasure hunter in the distance:
"That's why there are so many people in this crack. There are many experienced hunters who went to this crack this time."
"According to my guess, the lone travelers in front, as well as the mysterious cloaked man you just met, are all here for that treasure as expected."
