Chapter 199 Night Watch

As soon as Chen Xiaohe finished speaking, the eight-clawed water ghost's blood-red eyes stared at Chen Zhui.

"Uh...no!" Chen Zhui smiled and said, "I believe it, believe it!"

Seeing this, Tang Shishi couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Bru's voice came from a distance: "Brother Chen Zhui, Grandpa Hops said that the Eight-Clawed Water Ghost breathed with his cheeks! It was with his cheeks!"

"The idiot is back," Tang Shishi smiled, "Xiaohe, hurry up and put away the spiritual servant!"

"Oh!" Chen Xiaohe thought, and the eight-clawed water ghost disappeared.

Brut ran over.

"Chen...Chen chases brothers," Bru was exhausted and panting, bent down and leaned on his knees and said, "Grandpa Hops said that the eight-clawed water ghost breathes with his cheeks! Let's clean it up quickly, it will be dark if it's late!"

"Oh," Chen Zhui shrugged, "but the Eight-Clawed Water Ghost is dead."

"Die?" Bru said in surprise, "How did he die?"

"It seems that I was poisoned to death by the black smoke I just sprayed."

"..." Bru scratched his head after hearing this and sighed for a long time, "This eight-clawed water ghost is so stupid!"

...

As the sky was about to get dark, Chen Zhui and others rushed back to the caravan, explaining the death of the Eight Clawed Water Ghost, saying that they had avenged Santo and Rea.

Everyone originally didn't believe that Chen Zhui and others could kill the eight-clawed water ghost, but after seeing the half tentacle on Chen Xiaohe's shoulder, they believed it.

Everyone observed a moment of silence for Santo and Rea, and rushed to the trimming area in a sad atmosphere.

Before dark, the caravan finally arrived at the trimming area of ​​the Black Swamp.

It is said that it is a renovation area, but it is actually two large dirt houses, and one house has even collapsed its ceiling, with ruins everywhere.

Under Hops' command, the servants unloaded the cargo from wildebeests and white camels, then drove them all into the house without ceiling, and finally set up a bed in the fairly intact house to give everyone a rest.

After everything was cleaned up, Hops lit a bonfire in the yard, and everyone started eating around the bonfire.

Chen Xiaohe threw the half tentacle from the space ring, and asked Chen Zhui to roast it for her to eat with fire magic.

"Come on, everyone can try it, fresh monster meat!" Chen Zhui put the octopus tentacles among everyone.

"Oh, takoyaki is ready!" Chen Xiaohe didn't need to say hello, and immediately cut a large piece of meat with a knife to start gnawing.

Chen Zhui originally thought that Hops and others would not eat this thing, after all, the appearance of this thing is indeed a bit scary, and his white fangs are still stuck in his mouth.

But Hops and others had no taboo at all. They pulled out daggers from their waists and began to scratch the octopus tentacles, and were amazed while eating.

"Yeah! It's so delicious and juicy!"

"Tsk tsk, the monster meat is delicious, much better than our air-dried meat!"

Chen Zhi thought about it, too. This group of people who run the caravan sleep outside all day long, so there are not so many things to pay attention to. It is a luxury to be able to eat monster meat!

Everyone had a beautiful meal and were all satisfied. Everyone prayed silently for Santo and Rea around the bonfire, and then began to listen to Hops arrange for people to watch.

Camping in the wild, especially in the dangerous black swamp, vigilance is definitely an extremely important thing, otherwise you will probably never wake up again.

As an experienced caravan captain, Hops attached great importance to vigil. He first took out a tough thin line, and the thin line was tied with copper bells the size of a wine glass.

Hops sets this line around two dirt houses. If there is movement at night, for example, a creature touches a thin line, the copper bell above will sound an alarm.

"The copper bell is not anything," Hops said, pointing to a copper bell. "The weight of the copper bell must be just right. If it is too light, it will be blown by the wind. If it is too heavy, it will be less sensitive and will not act as an alarm."

Then, Hops took out a packet of sulfur powder and sprinkled it on the door of the room, saying that it could dispel small things such as snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Finally, Hops began to arrange a vigil.

"There are two people in the night watch, a magician and an ordinary person. If there is any emergency, the magician can deal with it in time!"

Hops' voice was low and vicissitudes. After Santo and Rea were killed, he seemed to have grown older.

"Ship 1, Bru and Hannah."

This was how Hops arranged it with Hannah's strong plea.

"Second Class, Shen Zhui and me."

"Team 3, Tang Shishi and Gru."

I slept for six hours at night, and a group of people watched for two hours.

After arranging the night shift, everyone went into the house to sleep. After running around for a day, the snoring started to sound in the blink of an eye.

Only Bru and Hannah sat side by side by side by campfire.

"Blu, are your parents still alive?" Hannah said quietly with a wooden stick, "My parents died when I was five."

"My parents??????My???" Bru scratched his head and hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

"You fool, can't even tell your own parents!" Hannah sneered and slowly leaned her head against Bru's shoulder.

Under the gentle moonlight, two figures snuggling with each other swayed slightly under the reflection of the bonfire.

"Blu, will you take me to see Gaia Snow Mountain..."

...

Two hours later, it was Shen Zhui and Hops' turn to watch.

"Old Master Hops," Shen Zhui said thoughtfully, "Since the wasteland and the black swamp are border areas, who set up that boundary marker?"

"Well, you mean the boundary mark of the black swamp, which was established by the Magic Alliance."

Hops said lightly: "At that time, the Black Swamp and the Wasteland were both territory of the Magic Alliance, but later they were attacked by the Borderlands, and this area had no danger to defend, so they gave up here and retreated to Saitu City."

"Why don't you chase after the scavenger wolf when it reaches the boundary marker?" Shen Zhui stared at the leaping flames with a faint look, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"The beasts are all very territorial, which is much better than humans." Hops sighed.

Then, Hops seemed to realize something, turned his head and looked at Shen Zhui deeply: "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Sure enough, ginger is still so spicy!"

Shen Zhui smiled slightly, finally approached Hops and asked quietly: "If the one-eyed demon vulture had not informed me, would there be other ways to chase prey on the huge wasteland?"

Hops's eyes lit up suddenly when he heard this. He shone with a deep light against the backdrop of the bonfire. He stretched out his old palm and patted Shen Zhui on the shoulder: "It turns out that young people are so terrifying!"
