me and my monster neighbor

The villages and towns of the human race are in sight.

Chu Chu drove the stone spirit to go under the low wall. This low wall seemed to exist as a protective wall, but the ruins in front of him were obviously not enough to protect the safety of the city.

Xu Lala just wondered whether the maze that can be solved easily by the Shenwu tortoise can really protect the peace of one side, and whether there are really survivors in the city, when he saw the stone spirit standing in front of the low wall, he refused to take a step forward.

Xu Lale:?

Shenwu Snake took the initiative to explain online: "The residence of the human race must have been protected by a forbidden barrier since ancient times, otherwise it would have been used as a granary by monsters."

Shenwu Gui hummed and chirped with Shenwu Snake, recalling the past: "I think we used to be busy with business, and 997 had no holidays. My dream is to have a small long vacation and travel with a backpack. At that time, I planned to check in at the place where the scattered stocks of the human race were gathered, and crack them one by one. Drop their city defense ban hahaha."

Shenwu Snake laughed strangely and said, "You can save your energy now, and we will not be restricted by the city defense ban against monsters when we follow Xiaolala into the city."

The city defense restrictions of human gathering places will automatically detect evil spirits, but Shenwu Guishe signed a spiritual contract with Xu Lai, and Xu Lai's human body can come in and out freely, and they can enter the city without any effort to open their eyes.

Xu Lale: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should bring the Xuanwu beast into the village.

The stone spirit prostrated itself on the ground, and Chu Chu stepped on its forearm to land firmly. He took two steps forward and tentatively stretched out his hand to try to cross the low wall, but was blocked by the invisible enchantment wall.

Chuchu looked down at his hands.

Shenwu Snake persuaded: "The stronger the demon power, the stronger the human race's ancient prohibition will be on you. The Shenwu Turtle was just bragging just now. Even if we come in person, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the town."

Shenwugui secretly gloated and smiled, thinking that he could finally see this little monster deflated, when he saw a "bang" in front of his eyes, the initial "human" form disappeared immediately, leaving only a little black dragon squatting On the low wall of the city defense, the chubby short legs are hidden in the shoes, and the bandages that were originally wrapped around the neck have also become beauty pageant ribbons, hanging diagonally in front of the body.

It flicked its tail towards Xu Lai.

Divine Warrior Snake:?

Shenwu Turtle:?

Is this a fucking baby dragon cub?

Or an ordinary black dragon cub?

So they were rubbed back and forth by this thing on the ground?

(Before) the dignity of the beast was once again shattered by the impact of reality.

I saw the little black dragon "chu" to Xu Lai, signaling Xu Lai to follow, it turned its head and jumped into the other side of the low city wall with a plop, but it tripped over such a perfect jumping posture because of the ill-fitting shoes. Chu Chu fell from the low wall into the wall—as expected, the forbidden barrier didn't notice Chu Chu's body.

Divine Mighty Snake: "..."

Shenwu Turtle: "..."

It was actually an extremely stupid black dragon cub.

It is an indisputable fact that Shenwu Guishe signed the contract with the human kid because of the obscenity of this little dragon cub. ah!"

The towns of the human race have a restrictive effect on monsters. Xu Lai could only temporarily leave the big and small stone spirits outside. He hurriedly climbed up the earthen city wall and passed the wall neatly.

When Xu Lala climbed over the wall, the palm that he pressed against the low wall was stained with dry wall dust, and he clapped his hands to clean it before he hugged Chuchu into his arms.

Chuchu's form, at first glance, is not an ordinary small animal, so naturally it can't swagger into the territory of the human race.

Xu Lala carried the schoolbag in front of her body, using it as a baby bag, and stuffed Chuchu into the schoolbag.

Xu Lala noticed Shenwugui's silence on the private channel, and suddenly asked, "Do you recognize Chuchu's original body?"

According to his previous speculation, Chuchu might have experienced the suppression of His Royal Highness Ardai. It is not certain that Shenwu Guishe will recognize Chuchu's biological parents. Maybe his parents are also Shenwu Guishe's former colleagues.

Shenwu Snake responded: "I'm not blind, so I can recognize it naturally."

Xu Lala hastily asked: "Then do you know Chuchu's biological parents?"

Hearing this, Shenwugui snorted and smiled: "It's not that I like to talk big, the black dragon is the lowest of the dragon clan, when we were still the original, his biological parents didn't even have the qualification to meet us."

Xu Lale: "..."

He learned from the domineering bragging of the Shenwu Turtle that the dragon race is orderly, and the method of distinguishing the superior and inferior is also very intuitive, using the color of the longan to distinguish the superior and inferior.

Among them, the purple magic pupils who are good at illusion, the red blood pupils whose demon power will explode in the bloodthirsty state, and the green green pupils which are poisonous, these three dragon pupils are the most rare.

Those with bright colored pupils are better, and black dragons with black eyes are only inferior.

Shenwugui snorted and added: "Oh, no, purple magic pupil, red blood pupil and green green pupil are all rare species, but there is another kind..."

Shenwu Snake took the words and said: "The golden pupils of the dragon clan only exist in legends."

The old god Shenwugui said: "Not bad."

Xu Lala didn't let out the voice of Shenwu Guishen, for fear of hitting the young's self-esteem.He touched Chu Chu's small head poking out of his schoolbag. The scales on Chu Chu's body were so black that they shone, making the gray-black pupils even more pale.

Xu Lala replied in the small private chat window: "...Although it is a black dragon, Chuchu is very strong, right? Chuchu is much stronger than you."

Shenwu Turtle: "..."

Divine Mighty Snake: "..."

The appearance of Shenwugui in Xu Lai's mind is still a cloud of unstable white mist, otherwise Xu Lai would have seen his face flushed and the veins on his neck embarrassing.

Shenwugui held back for a long time, and finally just said: "If we are at the peak of our body! I really don't know who will lose! Hmph!!!!"

Those who like to brag about being like a tortoise, even he dare not assert that he can beat Chu Chu in the form of Xuanwu's real body.

Xu Lala hid Chuchu in his schoolbag. Before he entered the town, he stepped out of the low wall again, grabbed the sand and tossed it on his body. The little stone spirit lay on top of the big stone spirit, "bang bang" a few times Like applauding, the dust was shaken off, and fell on Xu Lala's hair one after another.

Xu Lala thanked the little stone spirit, and the big stone spirit then raised its giant arm and hit it with a "clang clang". A sandstorm fell from the sky and dazed Xu Lala's eyes.

Xu Lale: "..."

Xu Lala successfully became a disgraced refugee, and then walked into the small town from the narrow path.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance, which is famous, and the name is: "Haomeng Town".

The houses in the town are all tile-roofed houses, and there are no towering high-rise buildings to cover them, but the buildings are crowded together, and the draft in the alleys carries a damp atmosphere, and the orange-red twilight can only be seen from the gaps in the alleys. The network of electric wires cut the sky to pieces, flocks of crows perch on the electric wires, chattering and quacking, and sit on the clothesline to shit and piss, but no one cares.

The alleys here are in disorder, seemingly regular, but Xu Lai was dizzy after walking around, and he didn't meet a single living person.What's even more weird is that he shuttled back and forth in the alley, and he didn't even find the main entrance of a house. The houses on both sides of the alley were all facing away from the alley, and he could only see the small windows on the flat. , or a small terrace on a two-story building.

Xu Lala stopped at the entrance of the alley, and he asked Shenwugui: "Is there another maze here?"

Shenwugui snorted and said domineeringly, "Did you just find out now, you stupid thing?"

Xu Lala had no intention of arguing between "stupid" and "not stupid", but just asked: "How to explain?"

In front of Xu Lai, Shenwugui always felt superior to others, with clean eyes, and said domineeringly: "Go straight ahead and count to nine. If there is an alley, turn left. If there is no alley, continue to go straight and count to nine, and repeat. Nine is the ultimate number in the world. , although it cannot break the formation, it can guide the direction in the maze."

With the help of Shenwu Gui from the sidelines, Xu Lai turned to the left every nine steps forward, twisting and turning, and finally walked into the center of this small town when he turned left for the last time.

There is a pond in front of you, and opposite to the pond is a drying yard. All the houses in the village and town are built facing this pool, with the pond and the drying yard as the midpoint, expanding radially outward.

The water in the pool rose, and the water level was almost equal to the drying field, and even overflowed the drying field, probably because it had just rained overnight.

As soon as Xu Lala walked out of the lost alley, he bumped into a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared from around the corner.

Xu Lala is not short in height, but has a thin body. He didn't expect that he just bumped into the man head-on. Neither side made any effort, but the other party fell to the ground with an "ouch".

The middle-aged man's figure is rather short and fat, with a big belly. He should be dressed in a dignified manner, but his clothes are dirty and his knees are scratched.

The man's eyes were empty, cloudy, bloodshot, and covered with a large bluish-purple shadow. His thick lips trembled and he muttered something. Xu Lai couldn't hear clearly, so he hurriedly helped him up. , Xu Lai noticed that his hands were bruised, with scabs on the back of his hands and knuckles.

Xu Lala hurriedly apologized and said "Sorry", but the middle-aged man seemed to have not heard what he was saying, with his forehead scratched, and he walked forward in a daze, groping the wall.

Xu Lala also heard clearly what the middle-aged man was saying at this time.

He said, "Don't go, don't go..."

Xu Lala frowned, and was hesitating whether to stop the middle-aged man to inquire about the situation here, when he heard an old voice calling: "My child... are you, where are you from? Are you rescued by... ?”

The old man's voice trembled.

Xu Lala followed the prestige, and saw a gray-haired old woman sitting at the door of a house around the corner, her hair was neatly combed and tied in a bun, and a dried flower was pinned to her hair .

The old lady was sitting on the threshold to rinse fresh lotus roots, but now she was staring blankly at Xu Lai. The neighbor next door poked her head out of the crack of the door when she heard the sound, and saw another old man with white hair.

When he saw that he was a stranger, he immediately maintained a high level of vigilance towards Xu Lai, closed the door with a "slap", and did not forget to yell loudly behind the door to remind his good old neighbor: "Sister-in-law Hu! Beware that is a monster! In this world, how can there be outsiders who have escaped from other places!"

Across the pond was a family, and the old lady of that family also hurriedly hid in the house.

Xu Lala hurriedly explained: "I'm a human being, really..."

But he didn't know how to prove himself.

The old man known as Mrs. Hu smiled kindly and said, "Son, don't be nervous, monsters will definitely not look like you. They look at us humans like they are looking at a group of livestock..."

The monster looks at the human race with disgust, contempt, and insidiousness, but it will not be like this boy. The first reaction when bumping into a person is to apologize, and he will not be eager to explain when he is questioned as "inhuman" like this boy. Distressed look.

Moreover, Haomeng Town has been blessed by formations since ancient times. Even if there are monsters who break in, they will be forced out of monster aura and turned into an afterimage, unable to maintain the ordinary human form, and can only manifest themselves as themselves.

Xu Lala subconsciously wanted to explain, saying that there are monsters who are as kind and friendly as the neighbors in Zhongnan Cave, and even monsters who would risk their lives to protect him, but when the words came to his lips, he gave up.

The kind and friendly monsters like the neighbors in Zhongnan Cave are pitiful existences that cannot be tolerated in the demon world.

A small light bulb with a blackened wall hung under the melon shed. The light was not good, but it was warm.

Xu Lala walked up to the old man, dressed in dust and dust, knelt down and said, "Grandma, I escaped here by chance... I want to ask where the mayor of this town lives? I want to ask him something..."

The purpose of Xu Lai's search for the gathering place of the human race was to inquire about the prophets of the human race, and the prophets of the human race seemed to be directly related to the leaders of the human race, so he subconsciously wanted to find out information from prominent figures in the town.

The old man stretched out his trembling withered hands in shock and touched Xu Lala's arms and shoulders, as if to make sure that Xu Lala was not injured, and helped Xu Lala pick the dead leaves from his unkempt hair.

The old man asked in a trembling voice, "How did you escape? Can you see who saved you?"

Xu Lala replied vaguely: "I didn't see who saved me...I..."

Xu Lala originally wanted to insist that he escaped here by himself, but he saw that the old lady didn't doubt his identity, but he was sure that someone had saved him.

The old man was not surprised. He held his hands and said "yes" repeatedly, and said with pity: "My child, it is really hard for you. It is a miracle that you can escape here safely, but now, even Haomeng Town It's not peaceful...but you still have a chance to come here."

When the old man mentioned the word "miracle", he was actually a little happy.

The old lady said: "It is time to take you to meet the mayor. It is auspicious that you can be rescued to Haomeng Town. It should be known to the mayor and other residents...but...but you won't be able to see the town until dawn tomorrow. long."

Inexplicably, the old grandmother showed excessive welcome to the appearance of Xu Lala, a foreigner, and called him "Xiangrui", but her voice changed, and she was a little melancholy, saying, "I just hope that the mayor will come back safely tomorrow morning."

Xu Lale:?

Xu Lala thought of Shenwu Snake saying that there was a little monster's breath nearby, and asked: "There are monsters haunting outside the town, where is the mayor?"

Although Xu Lala was confused, he was not too worried about the safety of the mayor. After all, he is a human race that has lived in the world of monsters for generations. He must have a stronger sense of danger than Xu Lala, an outsider. Since he dared to leave rashly, he must go to a safe place .

Hearing this, the old woman sighed and said, "Now the town is not safe anymore. The mayor and his strong young generation only go back to the town during the day to replenish dry food, and they will leave for Ziwuhua after [-]:[-] noon... …field……"

The old man hesitated to speak as if he had said something wrong, and his volume suddenly dropped.

But Xu Lala had already heard it.

Moreover, after hearing what the old man said, he realized that the town was indeed sparsely populated, and most of them were old people staying here.

Xu Lale asked suspiciously, "Ziwu Flower Field, what is that?"

As soon as Xu Lala asked this question in doubt, he heard a violent voice roaring over: "Don't go!!!"

Xu Lala was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw the middle-aged man he had just bumped into appearing from the corner again. He stood upright at the entrance of the alley, pointing at Xu Lala, with an almost ferocious expression and a fierce look in his eyes.

He sternly said: "Don't go!!! I warn you all not to go!!!"

The old grandma also looked over when she heard the sound, with helplessness and regret on her face, she put the bamboo plaque on her hips, supported her back and got up slowly, shook her head at Xu Lala, and said: "Son, come inside first. "
