About the brave man who became a thousand-year-old potato and ended up destroying the world

"If you don't want to see a scene like that again, don't go with them... Is that what you mean?" Liu Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, "Really, what is going on in this world..."

He thought this was just an ordinary different world with swords and magic, and the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers.

I was just unlucky before and just happened to be tied up in a deserted mountain. Now that I have met someone, it's time to start a happy journey to another world.

but……

That doesn't seem to be the case.

In fact, in his heart, he still wanted to follow, but his feet couldn't move.

Maybe it's fear, maybe it's disgust, maybe it's the instinctive belief that you shouldn't step into such a world, or maybe it's just a simple fear that you'll become a burden.

Of course, the most likely thing is that there are all of these. In short, when he thinks that such a bloody scene will appear again, or even appear in front of him several times, he feels that his feet are as heavy as stones.

With a long sigh, he returned to the house dejectedly and sat down at the dining table.

However, looking at the table full of dishes, he couldn't bring up even a little bit of appetite.

Liu Ji was confused.

He didn't know if he really wanted to go and help, or if he simply didn't want to be alone here.

Wouldn't it be a bit too willful if we just follow him like this because of the latter?

Moreover, they are so powerful that they don’t need me at all. Staying here to look after the house by yourself may be the best choice...

but.

What if the previous situation occurs again?

Although they are powerful, they are not invincible. Just like last time, if they didn't have themselves...

If you don't have yourself...it seems, nothing will necessarily happen.

He didn't know if Yayin had any backup plans, or maybe she was just trying to lure the enemy deeper.

And now, he really doesn't know whether he can hit people with a decisive palm like last time.

He was afraid that if the scene in his memory appeared in front of his eyes again, it would stop his movements.

Wouldn't it be even worse if one's own softness caused a disaster during the battle?

"Sure enough, it's better to stay here. This should be the best solution," Liu Ji said to himself with a smile, "Look, there are so many dishes here, which I have just made with so much effort, and they are all still delicious." It’s hot and must be delicious.”

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of bear meat and put it into his mouth.

"Yeah! It's really delicious!" He chewed with a smile on his face.

Chew.

chewing...

Dull……

"what……"

The deserted camp with only one person left echoed this long sigh.

Liu Ji didn't notice that there were a few pairs of eyes staring at him in the forest a little further away.

Faintly, you can still hear the sound of swallowing saliva.

19. Who stipulates that potatoes cannot be eaten in a two-in-one?

On the cliff, Mowente was holding a disk and trying to sense the direction.

On the side, the Osa cat approached Yayin furtively and asked: "Ayin, do you think, if I start learning spells from now on, how long will it take me to learn it?"

"Huh? Why did you remember to learn the spell?" Yayin glanced at him doubtfully, "And you said you learned it... Let me ask you, to what extent do you think you have learned it?"

"Hey, aren't you teaching that potato boy to learn spells," Ao Sa said, "I think he is quite interesting, and I was wondering if I could learn it too and chat with him later. "

"Oh, it's for conversation," Yayin looked at Osa up and down and said with a look of embarrassment, "I'll be honest, it's a bit difficult."

"I know the incantation is difficult," Ao Sa said, "We don't have much time when we get here. Can you take the time to teach me?"

"No, I'm not saying that spells are difficult, I'm saying that your talent is more difficult." Yayin spread her hands, "The magic talent of the people in your race is really terrible. Otherwise, why do you think your race has not been able to do it for so many years?" There haven’t been many high-level mages.”

"Ah, this..." Ao Sa was speechless for a moment, thought about it, and said helplessly, "It seems that this is indeed the case."

"But why do you want to chat with him?" Yayin asked.

"Well, how can I put it this way, you think this guy is pretty good?" Ao Sa shrugged, "We just met him, but he cooks for us, and he has good muscles, and he even helped us fight. Such a nice guy, wouldn’t it be a pity if I couldn’t even chat with him?”

"Oh? You think so highly of him?" Yayin was a little surprised.

"It's okay, I can't compare to you?" Ao Sa joked.

"Me? Ah..." Yayin was stunned for a moment, and then the image of Liu Ji flying up and kicking the tyrant scout flashed through his mind. After being silent for a long time, he nodded and said, "Well, indeed, you are right, he is a Good boy."

"So, maybe we shouldn't leave him here to look after the family?" Aosa said, "I think he doesn't seem to want to stay here alone."

"Oh, this..." Yayin turned her head and looked at the woods not far away, "How to put it, actually, not necessarily."

"Not necessarily?" Ao Sa asked doubtfully, "What's not sure?"

"I didn't say not to let him come with us," Yayin said. "Whether he comes or not depends on him."

"Huh? Is that so?" Ao Sa scratched his head.

"Yes, although I really don't want him to take risks with us," Yayin sighed, "but it seems that he has already arrived."

Ao Sa was stunned and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction he came from.

Sure enough, he saw Liu Ji's figure.

At this moment, the latter was holding on to the trunk of the tree and leaning on the leaves at one end, breathing heavily while waving hello with a naive smile on his face.

Callidora and Gironini walked on the streets of the ancient city.

Yes, they got in successfully. Although the guard didn't talk to them, he neither blocked them nor showed any vigilance, and just let them in.

Callidora was a little hesitant at first, and she felt uneasy because she came in so smoothly. However, Jilunini was really big-hearted. She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the guard's eyes. Seeing that the other party didn't respond, she decided to do it without thinking. Went directly into the city.

Callidora had no choice but to follow her quickly.

As soon as she entered the city, Callidora immediately felt a very strong sense of cutting. Although outside she could already feel that the space here seemed to be isolated from the outside world, after entering the city, this feeling was stronger than It was more intense than before.

She could feel that this city was shrouded in some kind of extremely powerful barrier, its strength even greater than the final barrier of Dragon City back then.

But the strange thing is that Carly can't feel why this barrier exists.

It can be felt that it has the function of isolating information, but it is not reasonable if it is just to hide it. After all, the entire city can be clearly seen outside the city.

What is even stranger than this barrier with unknown functions is the scenery on the streets of this city.

At a glance, except for the residents who all look like stone sculptures, the streets here are no different from the commercial streets in the prosperous towns in the past. As the two walked in the streets, passers-by would cast strange looks from time to time... If they If your eyes can really see something.

But if you look closely, you will find something unusual.

First is the sound.

There were no voices in the city, only the heavy footsteps of walking on the rocks.

Of course, this may just be because these, uh, unknown races, they don't speak, but have their own unique way of communicating.

But for some reason, whether in front of the street vendors or in the restaurants on both sides, these people seemed to be communicating with each other through language, as if they were opening their mouths to say something, but no sound came out.

Well, even this phenomenon can be explained as lip reading, but what is even more bizarre is the products sold by vendors and restaurants.

There are many categories of vendors, some selling decorations, some selling clothes, some selling toys, and some selling various tools.

But no matter what it is, the goods on other stalls are made of stone.

Yes, including clothes.

Can I wear clothes made of stone?

With all due respect, even if it can be worn, that thing is not called clothes, but should be called a torture rack.

But the strange thing is that these people still buy it, and they just take it away without wearing it.

Oh, by the way, these stone figures are also hard, and there are obvious gaps in the joints, so they are slightly stiff when moving.

As for the currency they used to buy it, it was also made of stone.

Even if these can be explained as a unique racial culture, there are some things that Callidora really can't understand.

That's food vendors and street restaurants.

Of course, all they sell are stones.

Well, it makes sense, probably, to eat stone.

But the problem is, they didn't eat it at all, they just put it in their mouths to show off, just like children holding clay dumplings to show off when playing house.

Everything seems to imitate ordinary human cities, rather than the urban streetscape that this "stone race" should spontaneously form.

"Girunini, I feel like something's not right here..." Callidora whispered, "Can you smell anything?"

"It makes me feel like a police dog," Guilunini's mouth twitched, "But you're right, something is indeed wrong. I smelled something very strange. That feeling, how should I put it, makes me feel... I even trembled a little..."

"Dear lady, if you are talking about the smell on my body... Well, if you think about it carefully, it seems that I haven't taken a bath in many years, maybe it makes you laugh."

"!?"

Jilunini and Callidora looked behind them at the same time.

There, at some point, stood a man with a gentle smile on his face.

The man's skin was as gray as the surface of a rock.

He was wearing a thick white robe, exposing all his arms and half of his chest, not caring about the scorching desert sun.

His hair is very long, all white, and looks like crystal glazed silk under the sunlight.

In his hand, he held a long staff carved from flowing crystal.

Callidora has seen countless high-level staffs in her life. They are either forged from the finest products in the world, or carefully forged by famous craftsmen, or both.

However, those staffs that she had marveled at were eclipsed by this staff.

Jilunini swallowed unconsciously and asked: "You, who are you?"

"You clearly came to someone else's house to care for yourself, but you don't even know who the owner of the house is?" The man said with a smile, "Madam, this is a little rude..."

"Sorry, we didn't know..." Callidora quickly took a step forward.

"No, it doesn't matter. In fact, if you knew who I was, I wouldn't welcome you anymore," the man said, walking slowly between the two of them, then turned around and raised his chin at them. , "Okay, come with me. You guys probably haven't eaten anything decent along the way. What do you think, do you want to eat a roasted whole lamb?"

In front of an empty cabin in the woods.

The table of dishes Liu Ji had just prepared was still steaming hot.

rustling, rustling.

The bushes were shaking, something was hiding among the bushes, behind the dense leaves.

That thing seemed to be deliberately making some noise, as if it was testing something.

Perhaps, that thing was worried about who else was hiding in the hut.

But obviously, this worry is unnecessary. After Liu Ji chased the three people away, all that was left here was this empty house, a frozen half-bear corpse, and a table full of steaming food. vegetable.

rustling, rustling.

The bushes shook and the sound grew louder and louder.

Then, after finally confirming that there was really no one here, the sound finally disappeared.

then……

A group of round potatoes, or potato people, rushed out of the woods.

They were about less than one meter tall, with noses and eyes, green branches on their heads, and four slender limbs...or rather, roots that looked like limbs.

Because of their round bodies, they look a little funny when they are rolling and running with such slender limbs.
