The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

Although he didn't understand what stories were in it, Phoenix didn't mean to ask, so as not to touch something not so good.

After searching for a while while introducing, Anita finally found her target, a dead fish wrapped in seaweed that exuded a strange smell...

"Ah, there is one scale left, I really remember correctly."

Scales, fish, sea scales... Terra has many names for this edible aquatic creature, but the basic meaning has not changed at all, just like horses are also called pack animals, no difference.

Smelling the strange smell of this fish, both Phoenix and Skadi frowned. Skadi sat a little further away without saying a word, while Phoenix said as tactfully as possible:

"Well, Anita, do you feel that this smell is not right?"

"Oh? Is there any? This scale was half a month ago, and it's still fresh."

"Fresh……"

Listening to Anita redefining the word fresh, Phoenix's expression became a little weird. Although the fish didn't look corrupt, it smelled bad, so it must be full of bacteria!

Immediately afterwards, Phoenix watched Anita break the rotten fish into two halves with bare hands, and handed the smaller piece to the bench:

"Here, bench, this is yours."

"Ah... ah... blah blah..."

Seeing the bench gnawing on the half of the raw fish without disgust, and still swallowing, Phoenix couldn't sit still for a while, why did this ghost place become like this?

Clans that love each other, always follow the rules, don't mind corruption at all, and eat raw food...

What is the difference between this and a beast drinking blood?Can you speak and communicate easily? !

Thinking of this, Phoenix raised his hand to cover his face, a little unable to suppress the anger in his heart, and at this moment, Anita handed the remaining half of the fish to Phoenix, and said:

"Come on, hunter, you and the singer can eat. After eating the bones, I can still make soup."

"No...no need, I'm not very hungry, it's not good to let you treat me all, just eat what I brought."

After politely rejecting the other party's fish, Phoenix took out several compressed biscuits from his pocket and put them on the table. Skadi's eyes lit up when he saw the familiar food, and he reached out and took one and started to tear it open and eat it.

"Hmm...Xiao Fei, the taste is so bland."

"Okay, I'll cook something delicious for you when I go back, and let's make some living, okay?"

Chapter 740 'Fair' Exchange

"Well, that's fine. I can stay for another day. The priests don't come here very often. It's better to save some food."

Seeing that Phoenix took out some food that she had never seen before, Anita carefully put the stinky fish back into the box, and then reached for a compressed biscuit that Phoenix put down on the table without tearing off the packaging , just chewed it up.

"Squeaky..."

"Hmm... um... Hunter, you seem a bit chewy..."

"Eh... that's not how you eat."

Seeing Anita's constant struggle with the plastic packaging, Phoenix smiled helplessly, then took the compressed biscuit back from her, wiped off the saliva with a paper towel, tore open the packaging, and handed it to her again.

"Here, the outside is just an inedible film, the inside is edible."

"Ah... oh, the people outside are really strange, why do you want to make something inedible outside the food?"

"Forehead…………"

Hearing what Anita said, Phoenix's expression became a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to explain it, but considering the common sense that Anita now possesses and remembers, he could only dismiss this idea first.

The more you explain this situation, the more confused Anita will be, so Phoenix decisively changed the subject and said:

"Don't pay attention to these small details, let's taste it first."

"Okay, thank you Hunter."

After speaking, Anita carefully poured out a small pile of compressed biscuit crumbs from the packaging bag, which she had bitten through the packaging bag just now, but fortunately, this did not affect the taste.

Regarding the food that Phoenix gave, Anita didn't have any doubts. She poured all the crumbs into her mouth, and chewed directly. Then, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Oh!! Hunter, this, this is delicious! It has a very obvious taste, salty, spicy, and a little sweet, it's delicious!"

When she said this, the light in Anita's eyes was more obvious than ever, and Phoenix was not surprised by her reaction at all.

After all, looking at Anita’s way of eating raw fish just now, it is estimated that she has always eaten like this during her growing up. Let’s not mention the harm to the stomach and intestines of this way of eating, the taste alone is sure Like not going anywhere.

Without any seasoning, all you can eat is bland or even smelly fish. It is conceivable that even compressed biscuits seasoned with a little salt and pepper are a brand new taste experience for Anita experience.

After swallowing the biscuit in her mouth, Anita swallowed again, looked at half of the biscuit left in the bag in her hand, resisted the idea of ​​continuing to eat, then turned around and sent the biscuit to the mouth of the bench, saying arrive:

"Come on, bench, it's delicious."

"what……"

Although the bench couldn't speak, it still whimpered and opened its mouth wide, waiting for Anita's feeding. Seeing this, Anita broke off a piece of biscuit of a suitable size and fed it directly into the bench's mouth .

"Ugh... ah!!"

A child does not taste the taste of food carefully like Anita. In his cognition, food is nothing more than divided into delicious and bad. There is no doubt that what he is eating now is delicious, so The bench didn't even want to move, it jumped on Anita and started chasing and eating.

"Okay, bench, sit down obediently and don't make a fuss, here, eat slowly by yourself, don't eat too fast, it will be bad if you choke."

After saying this, Anita put the bench on the chair next to him, and let him go to eat the biscuits slowly, while she got up and went to the cabinet, and took out a small iron pot and three wooden bowls came out.

"Come on, drink some water, this is the rainwater I collected, and it's clean."

"Um…………"

Seeing Anita poured into the wooden bowl, the water obviously contained soil sediment, Phoenix moved back with Skadi calmly, and then asked:

"Speaking of which, the only source of food for you is... the beach after the ceremony? Have you ever thought of going to the sea to catch it yourself?"

"No, hunter, the priest told us that we must wait for the tide to rise and fall a hundred times before going into the sea, otherwise it will cause very bad consequences."

"Is that so, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I don't know. The priest will never lie to everyone, so everyone believes in him. Since you can't go usually, then don't go. Isn't this a common thing? Can I have another one?"

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you take all of these, it's just a thank you gift."

"Ugh?"

Hearing Phoenix's words, Anita froze for a moment, then looked at the pile of compressed biscuits on the table that could be said to be hills, and asked hesitantly

"But, is this okay? I don't feel like I'm doing you any favors, hunter, so just accept the guest's thank you gift, okay?"

"Then you can treat it as a meeting gift or a reward. It just so happens that I have something else to ask you."

"Yeah, you can ask, hunter, if I know it, I will tell you."

With food here, Anita's expression became a lot more serious this time, and Phoenix also thought about it for a while, and asked tentatively:

"Tinhide said before, rules, what does that mean?"

"It's the rules the priest told us. For example, you can go to the sea to find food only after the tide rises and falls a hundred times. You can't go to the beach at other times. You can't leave the edge of the city at will. It's dangerous outside. ...I feel that the priests have said a lot of similar rules, but the first two are the only ones that people really obey."

"Forcibly restricting the scope of activities, it really is plotting something... Then, Anita, have you seen outsiders other than us, even if it's not the woman I'm looking for."

"No, this place has never changed. It's been a long time, hunters and singers. You are the first time I have spoken to outsiders so close. However, I remember seeing outsiders in the early days, all with It's a powerful weapon, but they seem to be very busy, just take a look and leave."

'Hmm...it should be the scouts from Iberia, or maybe the Grand Inquisitor who came to investigate...it seems necessary to meet them. '

Thinking of this, Phoenix pulled Skadi up and said to Anita:

"Anita, we have something to do, you can have lunch here first, we will be back later, don't worry, if we want to leave, we must come back and say goodbye, don't worry."

"Oh, okay, then I'll wait for you, Hunter, Singer."

"Well, see you later."

After talking with Anita, Phoenix took Skadi to the street. Just as he was about to find a commanding height and try to find the great judge, his shoulder was suddenly pressed It made Phoenix stagger.

Turning his head, he saw that Skadi was sticking to Phoenix's back, with his chin resting on Phoenix's shoulder, and he looked a little lazy like a cat approaching people.

If it was normal, Phoenix wouldn't mind getting bored with Skadi for a while, but now that he has business to do, Phoenix could only raise his hand and pinch Skadi's cheek, saying:

"Skadi, I have something to do right now, can you wait for me here for a while?"

"Well... I want to hug a little longer."

"If you are like this, the captured ghost shark will cry."

"A friend is not as important as a husband."

"She's really going to cry..."

........................

In the end, it took about 10 to [-] minutes, during which there were a lot of cuddling, cuddling, and mutual affection, before Phoenix finally coaxed Skadi to be comfortable and let her let go of herself obediently.

Afterwards, Phoenix quickly jumped onto a tall building, and after looking around at the layout of Yanfeng City, he began to look for people directly through a wide range of perception.

However, when releasing the perception, what Phoenix felt for the first time was an aura of disgust and anger that made him instinctively disgusted, but this kind of emotion came and went quickly, and Phoenix only felt that there was such a sign in his heart just now, In the next second, he calmed down instantly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this abnormal situation only lasted for a while, and it did not reappear at all. Phoenix also took this opportunity to quickly locate the great judge who was hiding in the city with his subordinates, and then rushed straight towards that direction However, Skadi stayed where he was, counting the number of pebbles on the ground one by one.

About half a minute later, Phoenix stopped in front of a dilapidated house, which looked like most of the buildings in Saltwind City had been abandoned for a long time. The windows and doors had disappeared, leaving only empty, dark The doorway and window are like a skull, somewhat permeable.

If a normal person sees this place, they will never enter it unless they have nothing to do or are too courageous to die. Phoenix is ​​going to be an abnormal person this time. Here, the grand judge who fought against him before is staying inside.

After confirming that it was correct, Phoenix strode in directly without any intention of concealing it, and just after entering the house, he was faced with the muzzles of two black hand cannons, as well as the grand judge and the young A majestic judge.

"Yo, long time no see."

"...Why are you, do bounty hunters also do house inspections part-time?"

After seeing that the person who came in was Phoenix, even though the Grand Inquisitor was wearing a mask, Phoenix could still imagine the speechless expression of the other party, it must be very exciting.

Seeing the other party put away the hand cannons together, Phoenix shrugged indifferently, and said:

"I suddenly thought of something, so I came to ask you."

"I'm not a consultation center here. Are all bounty hunters as unscrupulous as you?"

Regarding Phoenix's behavior, the Grand Inquisitor was obviously a little annoyed. The previous small step of tolerance was indeed wise, but it didn't mean that he would really let others ride on his head to do his best. Humans have dignity.

However, Phoenix was not worried at all that the Grand Inquisitor would turn his back on him, so he just sat back, and as the cold air spread, an ice chair condensed out of thin air, firmly catching Phoenix's sitting back body, Then Phoenix raised her queen-style Erlang legs again, released a terrifying breath, and said with a smile:

"Bounty hunters have always been unscrupulous when they use money to do things, but unfortunately not everyone has my ability, and you don't have to be wary of me. We all know that the exchange of equal value is the most profitable."

It has to be said that this kind of action combined with such words gave people a sense of oppression. At least the judge Eleni who was standing next to her didn't dare to speak at all, and could only wrap herself tightly because of the spreading cold. Clothes trembled.

"...All right, one question per person, until one party finishes asking, that's it."
