Chapter 303 Feder’s Worry: Butcher’s Bridge
The Ghost of Blood Harbor!
When Huo Jixing heard this, his heart moved, and fragmentary memories of his past life came to his mind.
Bloodport Ghost Pike is a hero belonging to Bilgewater.
In the background story.
Pike was a harpooner who was active at the Slaughter Docks and was well-known in Bilgewater.
However, Pike was abandoned by the captain when he went out to hunt and was buried in the belly of a huge harpoon. Inside.
Just when everyone thought that Pike could not escape the fate of the harpooner.
He is back!
Pike wanders the dark alleys of his hometown, using extraordinary means to brutally kill everyone who abandons him.
But he was still not satisfied, and continued to wander in the winding underground rivers and dark streets, killing the villains and thugs who preyed on others.
There is blood and ghosts everywhere.
This city that prides itself on hunting monsters now finds itself the target of the hunt.
Huo Jixing put away his inner thoughts and looked back at Fedel lying on the bed, his eyes twinkling in contact with the dark aura on his body.
"Has the dark energy ever encountered the ghost of Blood Harbor? Or is he also one of Pike's targets?"
After hearing Feder's instructions, Suoke immediately agreed and took Huo Jixing out of the room.
As soon as I came out, the aroma of food hit my nose, diluting the smell of herbs in the air.
On the simple dining table, there are one large and three small wooden bowls, which are the source of the aroma.
Huo Jixing and Suoke sat down. The wooden bowls in front of them were filled with seafood.
Mostly seashells and conch, as well as some unknown fish meat, mixed with finely chopped dry hard bread and cooked into a pot of fragrant fish porridge.
Eat the mountains if you rely on the mountains, and eat the sea if you rely on the sea. Most of the food in Bilgewater is like this.
"Hurry up and try my mother's craftsmanship, it's very good." Suok invited with a smile.
Huo Jixing took a bite. It looked like a simple fish porridge, but it tasted very delicious and very good.
"How is it? My mother's craftsmanship is very good, right?" Suoke chuckled when he saw the change in Huo Jixing's expression.
“The food on the Hunter Tooth Pirate Ship is so unpalatable that Mr. Dagemon doesn’t know how to improve his cooking skills.”
After speaking, he scooped up the fish porridge and ate it with relish, as if this bowl of fish porridge was the most delicious food in the world.
When Aretha heard Sok's words and saw his exaggerated movements, her gentle and kind face smiled.
Then she turned around and looked at Huo Jixing who was eating, still a little wary in her heart.
Although Aretha had some ideas, she couldn't speak directly.
After all, Huo Jixing is the friend brought back by Suoke, and it seems that the two have a good relationship.
After Aretha stayed for a while, she returned to the kitchen, filled a bowl of rice, and carried it to the inner room.
She needs to listen to Fedel's opinion. In her heart, her husband has always devoted himself to the family.
In the dim room, the oil lamp lit up with a weak and warm light.
Feder slowly raised his head when he heard the footsteps. When he saw it was Aretha, a smile appeared on his pale face.
Aretha sat by the bed, holding a bowl of steaming fish porridge in her hand, and fed it to Feder carefully.
Her movements were gentle and skillful, and she talked softly with her husband.
Feder listened carefully to Aretha's narrative and heard the worry in her voice.
He knew in his heart that his wife was worried about Suoke's situation and Huo Jixing's identity.
Thinking of Sock's performance, Feder sighed softly in his heart.
Like his wife, he was also a little worried.
But he still kept his expression calm, not wanting to make Aretha worry more.
As a senior harpooner active in Bilgewater, Fedel has seen countless storms and characters.
I can always keenly capture some unusual things about people's temperament and conversation.
During their brief interaction, he was vaguely aware of Huo Jixing's unusual aura.
Sock is his own child and has some abilities.
But the outside world is full of intrigues, which is far beyond what a half-grown child can distinguish.
Fedel chewed the food carefully and comforted Aretha, but in the end he did not express his inner thoughts.
He planned to wait until his health got better, then go see his good friend Barnes and inquire about the situation.
In front of the dining table, the aroma fills the air.
Huo Jixing tasted the fish porridge in the bowl and listened carefully to Thok talking about the situation in Bilgewater.
Huo Jixing felt clear about Aretha and Feder's hidden vigilance.
He understood that suddenly appearing in this family as a stranger would inevitably arouse their vigilance.
For this reason, he did not show any abnormality, but responded with a peaceful attitude.
Originally, Huo Jixing planned to return to the Hunter Tooth Pirate Ship to complete his plan.
But Thock strongly urged him to stay, saying that he would take him for a good tour of Bilgewater and see where pirates lived.
Huo Jixing thought about it and decided to stay temporarily.
He plans to stay in Bilgewater for a while until he recovers.
Night falls.
The bright moonlight is like cold drizzle on the tranquil sea.
Huo Jixing was lying on the bed and suddenly opened his eyes, and the red-golden light flashed away.
He looked at the sleeping Suoke beside him, and heard the steady breathing coming from the next room.
It's Feder and Aretha.
Huo Jixing stood up gently, his spiritual power seemed like the cool sea breeze, quietly permeating the air, catching the starlight between heaven and earth, and returning it to himself.
Meanwhile, soothed by his spiritual power, Sock and his parents fell into a deep sleep, unaware of his departure from the room. Huo Jixing opened the door and walked out of the stone house quietly.
He now urgently needs the power of flesh and blood to heal his severely injured body.
Daily starlight and food are simply not enough.
"Slaughter Pier."
Huo Jixing stood in front of the door, looking at the huge wharf lit with little fires in the night.
Some quiet slaughterhouses are like sleeping giants, bringing an invisible sense of oppression.
When the Hunter Tooth Pirate Ship docked at the shore, Huo Jixing selected the Slaughter Pier as the best target.
He walked along the dark alley, and mist appeared around his body, covering his traces.
After this period of time, Huo Jixing used the fire of Nanli and the energy of Donghua Yimu in his body to sort out the hidden wounds in his body.
As long as there is enough flesh and blood energy, you can completely recover.
In a dim environment.
Huo Jixing saw many pedestrians walking in a hurry, as if they were escaping from something and did not want to stay in the darkness of the night for a moment longer.
The rumors of the reappearance of the Blood Harbor ghost have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, affecting the lives of these nocturnal people.
Huo Jixing melted into the darkness and walked forward, crossing the narrow alleys.
Occasionally, he would see some gangsters from the Iron Hook Gang, shuffling by not far away.
Huo Jixing heard the curse words whispered by these guys, mostly about the ghosts of Blood Harbor.
Some pedestrians along the way who are too late to dodge will be kicked and beaten by the minions for no reason.
Although no one will be killed, ordinary people can only choose to swallow their anger and stay away from the minions of the Iron Hook Gang.
In Sok's introduction, these guys are notoriously cruel, cruel and mean.
If you kill people for no reason, you will definitely be on the bounty list.
This is the characteristic of Bilgewater, the pirate city, where order and chaos coexist.
Huo Jixing followed the guidance of the moonlight, getting closer and closer to the slaughterhouse, and also came to the legendary Butcher's Bridge.
This is a stone bridge spanning over the main port area, embedded between the cliffs on both sides.
Going north is the silent slaughterhouse.
Going south, there is the notorious slums of Bilgewater.
Huo Jixing stepped onto the Butcher's Bridge and saw the desolate and dilapidated slums.
Below the dark cliff, dilapidated houses are piled up one after another, and discarded garbage can be seen everywhere.
After a while.
Huo Jixing came to the entrance of the slaughterhouse and smelled the smell of blood and sea in the air.
He didn't care about this and escaped into the shadows and entered the slaughterhouse.
On both sides of the wet road, there are many randomly discarded sea animal bones.
In the corner there are some unprocessed sea snake carcasses that have begun to rot.
These bones and corpses emit a stench, and the smell of blood becomes stronger and stronger, like a tide, almost drowning people.
Huo Jixing walked slowly on the quiet dock and heard some low roars and the sound of chopping with knives and axes.
There are huge crates piled up all over the port in the distance, and the dried blood has left shocking red traces.
Huo Jixing was like a ghost, crossing the docks and cold buildings.
His target was the slaughterhouse.
There are only a few pirate ships that have the means to dissect, and most of them transport the bodies of sea beasts back.
The slaughterhouse is the place where giant sea beasts are processed at the slaughter dock. It is filled with the carcasses of hunted sea beasts.
The sea breeze blows and the fog is hazy.
Huo Jixing looked up at the slaughterhouse in front of him and stopped.
This slaughterhouse looks relatively large, and there are people specially guarding it. The quality of the sea beasts should be good.
However, before he entered, he saw a bloated corpse hung on the mast with a giant fishhook, swaying slightly with the midnight breeze blowing from the sea.
It is displayed blatantly as a warning to thieves.
At the front and back doors of the slaughterhouse, the gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang were patrolling and guarding, driving away all strangers.
Seeing this, Huo Jixing took a step forward and, covered by the mist, gently fell into the slaughterhouse.
He looked around. In the dim environment, the moon shone through the cracks in the dome, mottled on the blood-stained wooden table.
Only long blood-colored wooden tables were seen, with a large number of cut-up pieces of meat placed on them.
These processed pieces of meat are goods that nearby gangs are preparing to sell at tomorrow's dock market.
Going further into the slaughterhouse, you can still hear the roars and roars of sea animals.
However, Huo Jixing was not going to go inside. The pieces of meat in front of him could satisfy his needs.
Buzz!
Huo Jixing lit up the red-gold Nanli Fire with his hands, placed it on the table, and swallowed up the pieces of sea beast meat placed on it.
Under the scorching flames, the pieces of sea beast flesh melted rapidly, turning into flesh and blood energy, which poured into the body.
With the help of the energy of flesh and blood and the starlight falling from the sky, Huo Jixing's skeletal body became fuller.
He looked at the bloody pieces of meat on the wooden tables without feeling any pressure in his heart.
Rumors of ghosts in Blood Harbor are causing a lot of panic in the streets of Bilgewater.
Huo Jixing can use this opportunity to cover up his actions.
