Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 588

"Okay, that's enough, don't need to swipe anymore, I heard that there is a place called Devil City here, let's find a tour guide, how about going to see it tomorrow?"

Hearing what Li Xiao said, the fans in the live broadcast room stopped.

Studio:
"Devil City? It sounds like a place from a novel."

"That place seems to be very big, it's easy to get lost, be careful."

"Remember to find a reliable tour guide. We were cheated by the tour guide before we went on a tour."

Seeing this, Li Xiao became wary of finding a tour guide.

Early the next morning, Li Xiao found a tour guide according to the place mentioned in the post bar.

This tour guide is not the kind of regular tour guide, but a local, who looks in his 30s, very thin, with a shrewd look.

"Little brother, it's right for you to find me. Let me tell you, no one is more familiar with this place than me. I grew up playing in it."

Hearing what the tour guide said, Li Xiao got the idea.

"Okay, brother, how do we calculate the money?"

I saw the man roll his eyes.

"To be honest, not everyone can go to this devil city. How about this, I'll charge you 1500 for your trip."

Li Xiao didn't know what the price of a tour guide was, whether it was expensive or cheap, but when he thought about the usual group tours, he would pay more than 2000 yuan, and this thousand and five yuan seems to be acceptable, mainly because it is reliable.

So Li Xiao paid the bill very readily.

After entering Devil City, the tour guide took Li Xiao along the route he had prescribed.

The area of ​​the Devil City is so huge that you can't see the edge at a glance, but in the daytime, it seems that there is nothing special about it, except that it is all yellow sand.

The tour guide first took Li Xiao to a building complex with ethnic characteristics.

"Little brother, look, this is Devil City."

Li Xiao was a little curious, "Isn't the Devil City talking about this whole area?"

The tour guide shook his head inscrutablely.

"No, the real Devil City refers to this castle."

Immediately afterwards, the tour guide told Li Xiao the origin of Devil City while showing him around.

Devil City was first spread because of a herdsman. When the herdsman was grazing, he found an unseen earth mountain in the distance. He walked over it very curiously, but only found out when he got closer. How could this be an earth mountain? , This is clearly a majestic castle.

The herdsman was very curious, so he walked in, but within a few steps, a group of skeletons rushed towards him, scaring him away.

After he got home, he told the story to the old man in the clan, and when the old man heard it, he said that he had entered the Devil City.

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a very powerful country. As a result, the king of this country offended the god for some reason, so the god sent a group of devil troops into the city and killed the king and all his subjects. Since then, This place has become a paradise for the devil, and it is said that once you enter, you can never come out again.

After the tour guide finished speaking, he smiled, "Little brother, you can just listen to it as a story. How can there be so many ghosts and gods now?"

Li Xiao smiled and didn't say a word. He would not have believed it before, but now he even has a system, and has obtained various skills and money through the system. What else is impossible?

Probably because he was afraid that Li Xiao would be frightened, the tour guide said: "Now there are documents about the origin of Devil City, probably because there was a war at that time, and then one of the king's sons escaped and built a castle here , the result was defeated in the end.”

Li Xiao nodded, he was a little interested in this place, and planned to check it carefully later when he had time.

The tour guide took Li Xiao to the foot of the mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there were all kinds of buildings, some intact, some damaged, and even half of the walls collapsed.

Li Xiao glanced at the traces on the wall, and there were indeed traces of being cut by a cold weapon such as a sword. Of course, other reasons could not be ruled out.

The tour guide took Li Xiao to a random room and walked in. Unexpectedly, after entering, the first thing that came into view was the white bones on the ground.

Li Xiao was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the tour guide next to him, but unexpectedly, the tour guide also looked shocked.

Li Xiao frowned, and realized that something was wrong, "This is your first time here?"

The tour guide laughed awkwardly, "Haha, how can I, I have been playing here since I was a child."

Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, but didn't fully believe what he said.

Originally, I planned to show it to the fans in the live broadcast room, but I didn't expect that it was full of bones.

"Family, I've arrived at the interior of Devil City, and I'm in one of the buildings, do you want to take a look?"

The people in the live broadcast room naturally thought too, who hasn't been curious.

Seeing that they were all talking and wanting to see, Li Xiao pointed the camera at the bones on the ground.

Sure enough, the fans in the studio were taken aback.

Studio:
"The anchor is not a human being!"

"Mom, I'm scared to death"

"What is this, a model? It can't be real, can it?"

Li Xiao gloated and smiled, "It's true, didn't you startle me? Hahahaha, I was also taken aback."

Although he wanted to scare them, Li Xiao still had a conscience, so he put the phone away.

"Okay, I won't scare you anymore, let's take you to see other things."

So Li Xiao walked out of the room and showed the audience in the live broadcast room a panoramic view.

"To be honest, it still looks quite desolate here."

Immediately afterwards, the tour guide led Li Xiao straight forward, heading for the largest castle on the top of the hill.

After entering here, Li Xiao understood why it was said that this was a castle built for the king.

Although hundreds or even thousands of years have passed, the magnificence inside is still evident.

I saw that the throne in the center was actually made of gold, and there were even some precious stones on it, and some places were a little sunken. It looked like the previous jewels had been dug away.

Li Xiao didn't expect that there would be such a thing here. Logically speaking, this is an unclaimed land, not to mention being ransacked.

So Li Xiao asked the tour guide, "Brother, is there no one moving anything here?"

The tour guide smiled, "Yes, why not? Someone did come over at the beginning. Look at the grooves on it, they are all gems that have been dug away."

Li Xiao didn't quite understand, "Then why didn't anyone come after that?"

"Ham, there were indeed people who took the things at the beginning, but those who took the things were either dead or crazy, and the stolen things disappeared in the end, so no one dared to come here again."

Li Xiao nodded, sure enough, things in this kind of place can't be moved around.

The two walked and chatted.

"Brother, have those archaeologists been here?"

The tour guide nodded, "It must have been here. A mask was found on a corpse here, and it was written in Portuguese. I heard that it was taken back for research."

"Brother, is there any other place to look here?"

The tour guide patted his thigh, "Yes, why not."

After speaking, he took Li Xiao to walk in one direction.

"This is different from the castle. Those stones are all formed naturally."

Li Xiao took a look, isn't it? The stone over there looks very much like a pagoda.

Looking to the side again, I don't know how the stone is composed, it looks very similar to BJ's Temple of Heaven.

The tour guide took Li Xiao forward and introduced him to various strange forests and rocks along the way.

As he was walking, Li Xiao suddenly felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet. When he raised his foot, it turned out to be a colorful stone.

Li Xiao picked up the stone and looked through the sunlight, it was still translucent.

The guide next to him saw it and recognized it immediately, "Hey, little brother, you are lucky, this is agate."

"Agate?" Li Xiao glanced at it, and didn't seem to notice anything special, but it was indeed pretty.

The tour guide also laughed, "Take it and play with it. To be honest, this thing is not worth much, but it looks pretty."

Seeing what he said, Li Xiao knew that this thing was really worthless, otherwise he would have bought it at a low price with his shrewd appearance.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Li Xiao still had a preliminary understanding of this tour guide.

This tour guide seems to be very shrewd, and he should have a lot of careful thoughts, but he seems to be a cowardly type. If he is asked to kill people and steal goods, he will definitely not dare. This is why Li Xiao dared to follow him deep reason for walking.

As the two walked, Li Xiao rolled his eyes inadvertently, and suddenly found a round white egg on the ground.

Yo, is this an extra meal?
Li Xiao picked it up and saw that it was a bird's egg, and he didn't know what kind of bird's egg it was, but if this was the case, he might not be able to cook it for a while.

After two more steps, Li Xiao found two more eggs.

The tour guide looked in amazement, "Hey, it's really strange, why are there eggs on the ground?"

The tour guide didn't know, and Li Xiao didn't even know, but he didn't care, as long as he had something to eat.

Walking further, they didn't find anything else, so the two planned to return.

Seeing that the sun was already hanging in the sky, and the sunlight became hot, they randomly found a room without bones and sat in it.

Li Xiao brought a few sandwiches he made this morning in his backpack this time, as well as a cup of milk tea, which was the salty milk tea he had last time.

The tour guide just took a piece of bread and a bottle of mineral water.

"Brother, you just eat this."

The tour guide nodded, "Hell, just deal with it in one bite."

Even though he said so, the tour guide kept looking at the sandwich in Li Xiao's hand out of the corner of his eyes.

Li Xiao sighed. Fortunately, he made a few more in the morning, so he took another one out of his backpack and handed it to the tour guide.

"You can't just eat this bread, you can eat this sandwich."

The tour guide pretended to decline a few words, "This is so embarrassing." Then he took it.

Li Xiao doesn't mind either, it's just a sandwich.

On the contrary, some people in the live broadcast room looked down upon this tour guide.

Studio:
"This person is really greedy for petty gains."

"He's selling miserably."

"Anchor, beware of him, don't be fooled by him."

But there are also some people who habitually radiate their own heart of the Virgin.

"Don't say that, isn't it just a sandwich?"

"This anchor is so stingy, so many sandwiches will be given to him."

As they talked, the people on both sides started to quarrel, and Li Xiao saw that one head was bigger than two.

"Okay, everyone, stop arguing, it's not a big problem."

Li Xiao acted as a peacemaker in the middle, and then took out the three eggs from the backpack.

As a food blogger, do you go out without a pot?Then I tell you, yes.

However, Li Xiao brought a big bowl, which could barely be used.

The two went to collect some firewood. Fortunately, the tour guide smoked. Otherwise, if they wanted to make a fire, they might have to learn how the ancients made fire by drilling wood.

The two raised the fire very smoothly, and then made a simple stove. Just about to throw the eggs in, they suddenly remembered that if they wanted to boil eggs, he didn't have water!
The two looked at the rising fire and looked at each other.

"Here, what should we do, why don't we turn it off for him?"

Li Xiao thought for a while, "No, this way, just put this egg in it and cook it for him."

The tour guide nodded, thinking it was feasible.

So Li Xiao used a branch to push the egg to the bottom of the fire, because if it was directly roasted on the fire, it would be easy to explode the egg directly.

The two of them ate while waiting for the egg to be ready.

"Brother, are you a native of the country?"

The tour guide smiled "hehe", "Yes, I grew up here."

Li Xiao nodded dubiously. If you say he is not, he does know something about this place, but if you say yes, he seems to be here for the first time.

"Brother, then you have been playing here in this devil city?"

At this time, the egg was ready. Li Xiao pulled out the egg and gave one to the tour guide.

The tour guide took the egg and blew on it while pushing the egg away.

"This egg is really good, don't tell me, it's really delicious made like this."

Li Xiao smiled, at least he is also a food blogger, among other things, he has a good grasp of cooking.

"Haha, you can try it yourself when you have time in the future, just pay attention to bury it under the fire, not throw it directly on top."

The tour guide was a little puzzled, "Why?"

"Damn, if you put this thing on the fire, it's easy to be unevenly heated, so it's easy to explode."

The guide nodded knowingly.

Li Xiao was about to open an egg, when he suddenly found that the egg didn't feel right.

He didn't pay attention when he first picked it up, he just felt that the egg was rougher and heavier, but when he held it in his hand, he realized that it's not an egg, it's more like a stone.
