Volume 1: Ancient Reappearance Chapter 83: The Mysterious Boy
Yamamoto Akitsuki smiled happily, obviously knowing that Masashi's skills were extraordinary and were his favorite. Masashi rolled up his sleeves, pointed like a knife, and gently stroked the elk's belly, and immediately cut the tough elk skin. He saw that he was skillful in movement, peeling the elk's bones two or three times, and then flew up to find a place with spring water to wash the elk's meat back, setting up a wooden stand to set a fire, and starting to roast the elk.
The fire became increasingly strong, and Yamamoto Akitsuki and Masamoto's faces were a little flushed by the flames. Yamamoto Akitsuki had already eaten a few wild fruits cleanly. At this moment, his eyes were staring at the roasted elk with fragrance gradually coming out of the flames. Jiangchen slowly took out various homemade seasonings from his waist and added some of them to the meat, found a small bottle of sesame oil, and began to gently drip on the elk meat. The sesame oil slowly flowed along the elk meat, and was roasted by the flames below, and slowly penetrated into the meat. Soon, the surface of the elk meat began to turn a faint golden color, and the elk meat itself oozed out transparent oil drops, and the tempting fragrance immediately dripped away.
The light of the fire illuminated the faces of the two people and the small open trees around. The reflection of the tall forest swayed, as if the wind was howling. Kamiko looked at the burning flames in front of him and gradually became enlightened, while Yamamoto Akitsuki looked at the roasted elk, touching his ears and cheeks, and ran to the side from time to time to break some wood branches and add them to the fire.
The silent air is filled with a strange and attractive fragrance.
A low roar came from deep in the woods: "Roar!"
The roar was low and powerful, as if it was far away, but it was still clearly heard, and a solemn intention quickly spread out. Jiang Chen suddenly woke up from his thoughts, his brows slowly frowned, but his eyes gradually deepened, looking towards the direction where the roar sounded. Yamamoto Mingyue put on Kazu Chen's shoulders, and there was no look of fear on his face, and he also looked back.
There was a "crack" sound in the flames, and a branch burst out, and the fragrance of the elk became stronger.
Three feet away was the dark woods. The wind on the forest seemed to suddenly become louder and whistled. After that low roar, there was no sound, but the cold and solemn intention was almost tangible and quickly approached here.
Jiangchen's pupils contracted slightly, and his brows frowned even tighter.
"Crack!" Another small branch finally burst.
Suddenly, the howling wind lost its sound, and the whole forest seemed to be still in an instant, and there was no sound. In front of the darkness, the dense forest and the thorns suddenly fell to the sides, and a narrow passage that allowed one person to walk.
A young man dressed in bright silk clothes, with a handsome face almost a charming feeling, walked out of the darkness step by step. In the darkness, he was so conspicuous, as if the surroundings were lit up because of him. Jiang Chen did not get up or move, but still sat on the ground, looking directly at the boy.
The young man looked at Masashimi and then his eyes fell on Yamamoto Mingyue, slightly stunned, "Huh"
He said, "Zombie King!"
The minister didn't say anything, but Yamamoto Akitsuki suddenly snorted, looking very angry.
Almost as Yamamoto Akitsuki was angry, the low roar just now rang again. The difference was that this time the roar rang directly from behind the boy.
"Roar" With this low and powerful roar, the calm-looking boy slowly rose from his shoulders, a very ferocious strange head slowly rose from his shoulders, with four eyes, two pairs of up and down, as thick as copper bells. His mouth was extremely large, almost as wide as his face. When he opened his mouth, he could see that his mouth was full of sharp teeth, especially the six sharp fangs stretched outside his mouth, which was even more terrifying. Under the glimmer of the flames in the field, a little saliva dripped from the teeth, falling on the monster's gray-black skin full of hard goose bumps.
Jiang Chen's face finally changed, he slowly stood up and said coldly: "Taotie?"
The young man had not answered, his eyes were still looking at Jiangchen. Suddenly, he seemed to have some sense. He looked at Taotie in a blink of an eye and was stunned. He saw that the evil beast's always fierce gaze had increased his greed at this moment, but the target was not Jiangchen and Yamamoto Mingyue, but the elk was barbecuing on the ground.
The tempting aroma of barbecue drifted everywhere in the air.
The boy suddenly smiled and said to Jiangchen: "Your skills are good! I asked why Taotie was restless tonight, and I didn't expect to be attracted by you."
The general said lightly: "Although Taotie is an ancient evil beast, fierce and fast, he has always been greedy. A roasted elk is nothing."
The boy shook his head and said, "Otherwise, my glutinous food is unique. I have long ignored ordinary food. I didn't expect that I would be so greedy by your seemingly rough barbecue."
As the boy said at this moment, Taotie seemed to be particularly fond of this roasted elk. The saliva flowed between his mouth and teeth, flowing down the gaps of his teeth. Suddenly, Taotie jumped out of the boy's shoulder, turned into a black shadow, and rushed towards the flames. Unexpectedly, the white shadow flashed, and it turned out that Yamamoto's bright moon came out of the sky, blocking the roasted elk.
Taotie roared lowly, fell to the ground, showing its true body. Its four-legged claws looked at least four times larger than the elk. The strangest thing was that its neck was extremely long and rose up, almost twice as high as the one.
Compared with it, Yamamoto Mingyue was pitifully small, but for some reason, Taotie seemed to be a little afraid of Yamamoto Mingyue and did not dare to be careless. He was reluctant to give up the food ahead. He roared in a low voice, and his expression gradually became ferocious.
When the general saw the man and the beast, he was angry and confronted the elk, and suddenly said, "The elk has not been roasted yet and the taste is not as good as the heat. Why are you fighting for?"
He said this inexplicably, and even the young man couldn't help but look at him more, but the confrontational man and beast reacted. Taotie stared at Yamamoto Mingyue with four eyes. Yamamoto Mingyue was still wide open with two eyes, and the two strange beasts had six eyes wider. After a while, Yamamoto Mingyue screamed at Taotie a few times, exposed her teeth, and then ran back a few steps, sat next to Jiangchen, staring at the roasted elk.
Taotie's four eyes swayed with Yamamoto Mingyue's movements. When Yamamoto Mingyue sat down, the evil beast screamed twice, and incredibly walked slowly to the other end of the flame. His hind legs were closed and his front legs were swaying lightly, and he actually lay down in front of the flame. However, the saliva in his mouth still flowed out involuntarily. It was a bit funny to look terrifying.
The young man watched Taotie sit down and walked slowly over, without caring about the dirtyness on the ground. He sat down next to Taotie, looked at the general, smiled slightly, and said, "Who is your master? I didn't expect that he could have such a way to temporarily suppress the ferociousness?"
The general did not look at him, sat down, his eyes flickered back into the flames, and said, "You and I met by chance in the mountains, why do you know your name? Just a roasted elk, filling your belly."
The young man looked at the general for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly, shocking countless night birds in the distance.
"It's good, it's good." He gently hit his leg, with an unexpected look of admiration on his face, and said, "A good one is just a filler. Speaking of which, the countless people in the world are busy all day long, just to fill their stomachs. In this way, aren't you the so-called "people" like me, the evil beast of Taotie?"
Kazume gently flipped the roasted elk, and the smell of sesame oil on the elk meat became rich, seducing the Taotie on the opposite side to make a stir. But I don’t know if it was for the sake of tasting the delicious food or something, this strange beast, which was known for being greedy in addition to being ferocious, actually endured it. At the same time, Yamamoto Akitsuki glared at it fiercely.
The flames burned quietly, reflected on the face of the general, and he slowly said, "There are different people."
The boy said, "What?"
The general said: "Love, hate, love, hatred, people have feelings."
The young man laughed and said, "Don't you know that all the beasts also have feelings. If you kill this elk, you should know that the elk is painful and fearful. Just like I kill you, you are like an elk. All beings are equal, so how can we distinguish between humans and beasts?"
The general raised his eyes, looked at the young man, and said, "There are differences."
The boy's eyes were sharp and he said, "Where are the differences?"
The general said, "I have great regrets in my life, and I have engraved them in my heart day and night. Life is worse than death, but I have to live. I still have expectations when I live, and death is a person who is timid in love. How can a deer have such love and hatred?"
The boy was stunned, the sharp look in his eyes gradually faded, and then a strange look appeared on his face.
There was no sound around, only the sound of branches bursting from the fire from time to time. Neither the strange boy nor the general spoke anymore, the flames stretched and burned between them.
The color of the roasted elk gradually turned golden, and a slight burnt smell appeared from the rich aroma. At this time, the entire roasted elk surface was covered with a transparent layer of light oil droplets. Jiang Chen finally turned the roasted elk a few times and said, "Okay, you can eat it!"
As soon as the words were finished, Yamamoto Mingyue and Taotie pounced on each other at the same time. Yamamoto Mingyue reached out to grab one of the hind legs of the roasted elk. The elk skin that was originally roasted seemed to have no feeling in its hands. However, the Taotie was even more powerful. She did not move her hands and feet and claws, and directly opened her bloody mouth. Regardless of the elk meat being still above the flames, she directly stretched her head in and bit it.
Taotie's mouth, whose mouth was already huge, became even more and more terrifying. A huge roasted elk was bitten by the monster, leaving only one of its hind legs caught by Yamamoto Mingyue and left it outside.
Yamamoto Akitsuki was furious, with an angry expression on her face, holding the elk legs in her hand, and jumping and screaming. However, the evil beast of Taotie didn't care about so many. His sharp teeth were bitten, and he immediately bit the delicious elk meat into two pieces like a crumb. Yamamoto Akitsuki was caught off guard and fell back too hard for a moment, rolling two rounds underground, and when he stood up, he only grabbed one elk legs in his hand.
As for the vast majority of the delicious roasted elk, it was bitten in the mouth by Taotie and chewed loudly. The remaining elk bones seemed to be bitten and swallowed into its belly by it. The food was like the wind and the remaining clouds swept across the army, especially the four eyes on the face, which were squeezed to both sides of the face by a bulging mouth. It was still shiny with four eyes, which was obviously very satisfying to eat.
"You dead monster leave me so much." Yamamoto Akitsuki saw that most of his delicacies had been snatched by this evil beast, so why wasn't he angry? But after a few screams, he suddenly lowered his head and started to chew. It ate very quickly, but in a while, it ate most of the elk legs.
