What to do with a full-scale life

Chapter 209
Brother Xiao Zhang didn't prepare live pigs, but he still came to the seller's castle.

This is really a castle, and it was built on the reef by the sea, surrounded by those dark brown rocks. The driver of the flying boat told Brother Zhang that no one in the city knew when the castle was built, as if it happened overnight. It stood here, and after that, the dragon skin of the Ananda dragon could no longer be caught on the sea, and this became the only place where one could buy the dragon skin.

Because it is an exclusive sale, the price has skyrocketed by more than a hundred times. The driver of the flying boat said that he even remembered that a few years ago, even ordinary people could buy a piece of skin to make soup when they were free, but the current price is no longer ordinary. People can bear it.

"You wait here for me, I'll go in by myself."

Xiao Zhang said something to the driver, and then walked straight across the bridge, and the gate of the castle was closed, he stepped forward and knocked on the knocker, and with the sound of heavy door shaft friction, he walked out A one-eyed old man with a stooped body, he glanced around Xiao Zhang with a gloomy look, and then issued a strange syllable from his throat.

"Hi, I'm here to buy the dragon skin of Ananda Dragon."

After explaining clearly the purpose of coming, Xiao Zhang was led into the castle by the old man. As soon as he entered this place, he felt a strange feeling, damp and sticky, like an ancient building soaked in water, covered with seaweed , and the moisture in the air is so large that the clothes can be completely attached to the skin, which is very uncomfortable.

Follow the old man all the way into the castle. There is no light here, but it is not so dark. There is some kind of algae attached to the wall. This algae can emit a green light in the dark, making this place look Deep and mysterious.

They walked all the way down, and Xiao Zhang made a preliminary estimate that they had probably walked down more than 100 meters. This distance has completely exceeded the range of the castle, which means that they are actually in the bottom of the sea now.

But because there are bricks all around and you can't see the outside, Brother Zhang doesn't know where it is.

After walking like this for another 10 minutes, they stopped outside the huge door of a room. The old man called out to the door a few times, and then the door opened slowly.

When Xiao Zhang walked in, he felt that the place was stuffy, salty and sticky, like being in a smelly fish tank, and it was completely dark without any light, but Xiao Zhang could clearly see Seeing all the furnishings and layout here, there are no walls in this place, and the deep underwater world is directly outside, with countless marine life wandering around.

And suddenly all those strange deep-sea creatures disappeared, and then there was a big guy in the endless darkness with no end in sight. From the shape of that huge head, it could be seen that it was a huge eel, it It was swimming slowly in this direction, and then a part of its body coiled around, as if it had lost its vitality, and then Brother Zhang saw a person appearing not far in front of him.

When this person appeared, the surrounding lights turned on, and what appeared in front of Brother Zhang was a normal room and a fat and somewhat ugly man. He was sitting in front of a huge chair with his belly The fat is almost drooping to the knees, which looks very shocking.

He saw that Brother Zhang didn't speak, and Brother Zhang just walked to the wall and reached out to touch it, and found that the wall did not feel like bricks, but like some kind of underwater creature, and it was covered with mucus .

"Oh, you are Ananda Dragon, right?" Brother Zhang patted the wall and said to the man, "Sell your own skin...you can still do business."

The man saw Brother Zhang in astonishment, opened his mouth, and then slowly opened a huge eye on the wall.Xiao Zhang felt as if some external spiritual force wanted to impact his thinking, but this impact was not as harmful as searching for empty fingers on the Internet...

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to investigate you." Brother Zhang waved his hand: "I'm just a customer who came to buy dragon skin."

Seeing that his mental power could not affect the person in front of him, Anandalong's human form seemed a little surprised, and then the huge eye closed slowly again. After it closed, the fat man in front of Brother Zhang To be able to speak: "What do you want to know?"

"Don't worry, I've seen creatures that are [-] times more terrifying than you." Xiao Zhang waved his hand and said, "I also understand that you are actually a part of the world, and you are far more kind than most human beings."

Hearing Brother Zhang's voice, Anandalong gradually calmed down, and the two of them chatted for a while.It finally calmed down completely after brother Zhang transmitted to it the image of a creature that he said was [-] times more terrifying than the Ananda dragon.

Of course, Brother Zhang didn't send any scary images, he just passed the body of the Feathered Serpent God to it, the body of the black-skinned Da Lai Lai, the huge creature that can reach more than 4000 kilometers when straightened, compared to , Anandalong's small body lattice is also a tail of others.

And after seeing these, Anandalong also probably realized who the person in front of him might be, and it became cowering, but Brother Zhang continued to appease this frightened little animal with a length of more than 900 kilometers. .

"I yearn for the world. I have been in the cold ocean for too long. I want to touch this world. I have no malice." Anandalong kept explaining his motives to Brother Zhang: "There have been countless years. Here, I only had endless darkness, and then islands grew on top of my head, and the islands were full of those interesting creatures, but I knew that my appearance would scare them."

"Hmm..." Xiao Zhang nodded again and again: "I can understand."

"I listened to their singing in the deep ocean, and I yearned for it very much." Anandalong suddenly became depressed: "But I have appeared several times, and all I have brought is disaster."

This...how should I put it.Heipi Dalailai is cute, she is even one of the original ancient gods of the earth world, one of the incarnations of the will of the earth, but the problem is that from a human point of view, as long as the black skin Dalailai appears once, it is doomed It was a terrible disaster, every time her wings flapped it caused a typhoon, every time her tail swept the ocean it caused a tsunami, and when she fell to the ground it became an earthquake, even if she was in Turning over in a deep sleep is enough to destroy a civilization.

Is she malicious?Of course not, she has no malice towards this world, even she loves this world more than anyone else, but being big is the original sin.The same is true for Anandalong. As long as its piece emerges from the bay once, all the surrounding cities and villages will be destroyed.

So Xiao Zhang can deeply understand the difficulties of this giant creature. They are also intelligent creatures and have emotions, and their senses are 100 million to 1000 million times more sensitive than humans. It can hear everyone on the shore in the deep sea. Joy, anger, sorrow, joy, can feel every vicissitudes of life, it will also yearn for it.

The rulers of these old worlds usually integrate into the world in various forms and postures, such as Ananda Dragon, which entered the world as a merchant.

Brother Zhang just listened to Anandalong's complaints here for a full hour, and when he emphasized that he was here to buy dragon skin, Anandalong gave him a large piece of fresh skin directly as a thank you Brother Zhang could hear the distress in his heart.

"Please come here more often in the future, I like you." Anandalong said to Brother Zhang very reluctantly: "I will prepare a gift for you."

Brother Xiao Zhang laughed, waved his hands and said, "Yes."

Saying goodbye to Ananda Dragon, Brother Zhang was in a very good mood, because although the big eel looked very ugly, it was really a cute big guy, and in the process of communicating with it, Brother Zhang also knew why it It will be so expensive to sell the skin.

It’s really not on purpose, but because it became an adult five years ago and completed the last molt. After that, it will molt again but the cycle will be as long as 2000 years, so the skin it sells now is its skin , although its regenerative ability is very strong, but it will hurt if you pull it down so hard...

It is timid and afraid of pain, so it can only be sold more expensive, so that it will not always hurt.But if it’s okay to stop selling it, it’s not impossible, it’s just that this cute big guy is reluctant to communicate with the little guys on land, so even if it hurts, he still gritted his teeth and persisted. Will sell a little of their own skin.

Brother Xiao Zhang walked out of the castle, turned his head and waved goodbye to the castle, the sea under the castle suddenly rippling waves, as if responding to Brother Zhang's farewell, the sound of the waves was crisp, the sky was full of moon, and the cool breeze was blowing, but A very moving scenery.

The flying boat driver outside was still waiting for him, and when he came out, he hurried up to greet him: "I thought something happened to you, if you don't come out again, I will report to the patrol team."

Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "It's okay, I just chatted with the master for a while, is there anything more special about this place at night? Take me around, I'm leaving here tomorrow morning."

The flying boat driver quickly agreed. He took Brother Zhang to wander around the night market in the city and ate some very local food. Although it was mainly seafood, Brother Zhang was generally very satisfied. of.

Early the next morning, Brother Zhang returned to the milk tea shop as scheduled. At this time, Xu Wei, who was on the night shift, had just fallen asleep, and only Nian Nian and Sister Gou were with Brother Zhang to check things.

Niannian, the child who dislikes Chinese New Year the most, is as happy as Chinese New Year today.
