me and my monster neighbor

At this time, the monsters sitting around the campfire also noticed that there were two outsiders.

In the world of yokai, as long as it is in an unorganized and undisciplined area, the encounter between yokai and yokai is a struggle for sovereignty to plunder and be plundered.The appearance of Xu Lai and Chu Chu made the carnival monsters get up and hide behind three monsters wearing philanthropist masks.This group of little monsters acted in a panic, but all of them kept smiling at a 45-degree angle on their faces.

Shenwugui released his spiritual consciousness without a trace, and immediately snorted: "Among this group of little monsters, there are only two monsters of the evil level (A) and one level of evil (B) that are considered high-level monsters."

High-level monsters whose monster power is strong enough to crush the opponent can quietly test out the opponent's level. Only after testing the strength of monsters of the same level will they be noticed.

Xu Lala obviously didn't need to worry about the opponent's lineup of two disasters and one disaster.

Xu Lala is no longer the human race who was frightened down in front of a disaster level (B) rhinoceros in Wuwang Village. The three monsters wearing the masks of philanthropists said: "You can't beat me, but I don't want to fight tonight, we just come here to join in the fun."

When Xu Lai saw the fire just now, he had several thoughts in his mind, such as "could it be a human race", such as "could it be the pursuers of Wanyao Palace", but in fact he was more inclined to "meet the backpack guest monster".

Xu Lala originally wanted to "fight wild monsters" to practice his hand skills, but when he saw a philanthropist from the demon world wearing a smiling mask among the opponents, his curiosity was also aroused.

Especially the three philanthropist monsters in front of them were all dressed in black clothes, wrapping themselves tightly.What attracted Xu Lai's attention the most was that the fingernails of two of the philanthropist monsters were also painted with pure black nail polish.

Xu Lai strangely asked Jiuwei Tianhu, the only guest who might pay attention to beauty makeup: "Is black nail polish very popular in the demon world?"

Ever since he entered the world of monsters, Mr. Fu and Miss Zhizhi in Zhongnandong, Shiqing and his subordinates in Evernight City, as well as the two philanthropists in front of him, all love black nail polish.

Nine-tailed Sky Fox replied without hesitation: "That's right, this is a cult culture in the demon world."

Xu Lai’s question was answered in the affirmative, but since the clothes and nail art of the three philanthropists are exactly the same as that of Mr. Fu in Zhongnandong, Xu Lai still suspects that the demon philanthropist may be a private organization, or something Organized and disciplined clubs, like the Arbor Day, have an annual offline activity of doing good deeds.

Xu Lai never thought that Mr. Fu, who wore a philanthropist mask and liked to build hourglass coffins, would be an ordinary monster. Maybe he could find out about Mr. Fu here.

Not only Xu Lai's military division will evaluate the opponent's combat power, but the three philanthropist monsters are also weighing the difference in combat power between the enemy and us. The low-level monsters will be directly rejected when they release monster power detection, which is higher than the disaster level (A ) and super disaster level (Super A) level, none of them even dared to guess the natural disaster level (S), only know that the black-clothed boy isolated the light and shadow, but there was no fluctuation of demon power around him. Unusual appearance, it is very difficult to mess with at first sight.

Standing among all the monsters, the monster of disaster level (A) was the most upright, and hurriedly invited Xu Le and Lai and said: "Please sit down."

Xu Lai pulled Chu Chu to sit next to the three monsters wearing philanthropist masks, and Chu Chu sat next to Xu Lai. He seemed to have a cleanliness obsession, and he hated other little monsters to sit with him.

Xu Lala also smelled the stench at this time. The smell came from a pile of corpses not far from the campfire, and the blood pool and juice dripping on the ground had also condensed into a semi-solidified state.

The leading philanthropist yokai explained to them: "These dead cataclysmic level (B) yokai bullied the weak and were killed by us. We rescued other enslaved yokai from them."

The "other enslaved monsters" were sitting on the ground around the campfire.Xu Lae has been paying attention to this group of little monsters since just now, smiling like imitating the smile on the lips of a philanthropist, every fine line and crevice on their faces Filled with fire.

Seeing their eerie smiles, Xu Lala couldn't help frowning, but both the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox and the Divine Warrior Snake were very happy to watch, and both showed great interest.

Nine-tailed Sky Fox and Shenwu Snake discussed enthusiastically: "I know this too! The smiling masks worn by these three monsters are called philanthropist masks. The monsters wearing smiling masks will do good deeds during this period, such as asking The slaves were rescued from the thugs, and the rescued beneficiaries must maintain a smile on the philanthropist's mask to express their gratitude while walking with the philanthropist. This is now also called the philanthropist culture, which I think is special It's fun!"

"..."

Shenwu Snake hissed, and added: "It's not that survivors should keep smiling after being rescued, but when a philanthropist appears, a smile on his face is tantamount to sending a signal to the philanthropist for help. You don't even know the rules of the game." I can’t even remember.”

"..."

Xu Laeda felt that Schrödinger's philanthropist game was weird from the first time he met Mr. Fu in Zhongnan Cave and learned that there was such a magical and weird culture of philanthropist masks in the demon world.

"If you are a victim of oppression at this time, just smile if you want to ask me for help." This rule of sending help signals face to face is understandable, but after being rescued, you have to keep smiling during the whole journey with the philanthropist , to show respect, to show gratitude, isn't that too much?

Xu Lala frowned and asked, "What if the rescued monster couldn't stop laughing on the way? So what will happen?"

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox was stunned by the question, she was puzzled and said, "Why can't you stop laughing? Compared to being enslaved and humiliated, just smiling and you don't have to die, how easy and cost-effective it is."

Shenwu Snake said mercilessly: "You can't even smile, so why keep it?"

Xu Lai was speechless.

——Laughing at the difficult demon students, this inspirational quote is more profoundly reflected in the demon world.

The bonfire in front of him was burning very vigorously, the flames were like dragon snakes being forgiven, scrambling to the sky, the blazing fire illuminated a large area of ​​the sky, and also heated Xu Lai's face.

The tongue of the fire licked the firewood and crackled, the fire was very warm, and the white noise from burning firewood was also reassuring to listen to, but Xu Lala suddenly remembered that he was once angry at the townspeople in Good Dream Town who "rely on campfires for warmth, but stay away from Firelight", but he forgot at the time that the peace of mind brought by the firelight engraved in his genes originated from the ancestors who used the bonfire to resist the invasion of wild animals.

Xu Lai never thought that the bonfire was an important weapon for human ancestors to resist the attack of wild beasts, but in this world of monsters, the bonfire is just a ritual for the monsters to go hunting and return with a rewarding reward.

It wasn't until this time that Xu Lala realized how ridiculous his position was when he viewed the human race in the demon world with his inherent thinking.

When monsters are no longer afraid of fire, they are no longer hiding in the dark, day and night are their slaughterhouses, this grand world is originally a carnival place for monsters.

While Xu Lai was in a daze, the little monsters resumed the ceremony interrupted by the appearance of Xu Lai and Chu Chu, which was also the highlight of this appreciation party.

Xu Lala saw the smiling little monsters set up a small fire next to the big bonfire, and the flames ignited half their height. Two pretty female little monsters timidly came over and invited the three philanthropist monsters to participate in the thank you ceremony However, the three philanthropist monsters are also folk monsters, and they are willing to mingle with other little monsters. The leading philanthropist monster also sincerely invites Xu Lai and Chu Chu to participate together.

Chu Chu was very disdainful of their invitation, but Xu Lai politely refused: "No."

After all, this is a thank-you gift from someone else's family, how can they and De get involved.

Shenwu Snake Online answered him with a "hiss": "Your thinking logic is very problematic. You are better than them and did not kill them on the spot. Of course they should thank you, jie jie jie jie."

"..."

Xu Lala was speechless, and he didn't know who had a problem with his logical thinking.

At this time, the three philanthropist monsters were all standing on one side of the fire in cooperation, and the other little monsters present stood in a neat long line on the other side of the fire.

Xu Lala and Chu Chuqi turned their heads to watch them "playing games". Not only was Xu Lala, an outsider, ignorant, Chu Chu, an aborigine, also had the same puzzled face as him.

The male little monster at the head of the line nervously stepped over the small fire, and also drew closer to the three philanthropist monsters standing opposite him. The smile on his face was tense, and he bowed and left.

The second person in line was a short little monster with a protruding mouth and sunken eyes, and she was not entirely enchanting. Because of her short stature, when she stepped over the fire, her two little radish legs were not only burned by the outer flames , accidentally tripped, and staggered forward.

If someone from the three philanthropist monsters stretched out their hands to help her at this time, she would have been saved from falling, but no, the backs of the three philanthropist monsters were straight, and they looked at the little monster jumping on the ground from above. On the ground, hands and feet were cut by shells and gravel on the sand.

She was trembling with pain, but she still gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile, hurriedly got up and bowed, then stepped back with her head bowed.

……

The fifth place in the line is a female monster with a watery appearance, and her face does not affect her beauty. She smiles timidly, like a delicate female student with underdeveloped motor nerves in the class, taking small steps to think. To step over the fire, she was about to step into the fire with one foot, when suddenly a cyan wind with condensed strength lifted her up and sent her to the other side of the fire smoothly.

The philanthropist monster standing on the left stretched out his hand in a gentlemanly manner to support her.The little monster raised her eyes, her pupils were watery, and there were tears and tenderness in her eyes. She also bowed, but instead of stepping aside, she stood behind the philanthropist monster.

Xu Lala frowned, and Chuchu asked Xu Lala curiously: "Lale, what are they doing?"

Xu Lala was also confused. He opened the sound barrier and played the demon spirit's voice.

Nine-tailed Sky Fox took the lead in answering: "There is a custom of jumping into a brazier in the demon world, have you heard of it?"

The custom of brazier jumping in the world of monsters originated from the poignant love story of a famous couple.The male side is a big monster of natural disaster level, and the female side is a monster of disaster level (A).Although the status of monsters at the level of catastrophe (A) is not low, and they can dominate the situation in front of ordinary monsters, but they are not worth mentioning in front of big monsters at the level of natural disasters.

But under the premise of such a disparity in combat power between the two sides, the male side never forced the female side, and the female side was finally moved. On the day they married the male side, the male side was hunted down by the enemy. At that time, the male side was trapped in the sea of ​​fire and could not escape. The female conveniently jumps into the sea of ​​fire on her own initiative to show her affection for the male: I will meet you even if it is difficult and dangerous.

Since then, the custom of jumping over the brazier has been spread in the demon world. When newly married, the bride should jump over the brazier and throw herself into the arms of the groom. The female voluntarily commits herself to the male's response.

As for why the philanthropist’s thank-you gift follows the custom of jumping into a brazier, it’s a trade between you and me. The little monster who can win the favor of the philanthropist exchanges the three vulgar services for the philanthropist’s protection, while the other little monsters spend their days Tonight, I will leave the team of philanthropists and continue the difficult life of a demon who cannot help himself.

At first I listened fascinated.

But Xu Lai raised an objection in confusion: "Wait a minute, so the two ancestors who created the brazier, ended up being burned to death?"

Shenwu Snake echoed: "That's right, I heard that the death was tragic. If not, how could it be classified as a poignant love story series?"

"..."

Xu Lala held his forehead and said: "If you jump into the brazier, you will die a tragic death together. Such an unlucky thing can still prevail until now..."

There was no need for the mighty snake and the nine-tailed sky fox to refute him, Xu Lai quickly followed the logic of monsters: because it was tragic, because it was sad and beautiful, and because it was unlucky, it was sought after by monsters.

Xu Lala was overwhelmed by the monster's logic. He rubbed the center of his brows, and suddenly he was attracted by Chuchu's big movement of standing up. He followed the sound and looked up at Chuchu. Du Hui's gray eyes seemed to have come alive, and he said excitedly to Xu La La, "La La, let's jump into the brazier too!"

Xu Lale:?

Xu Lala wanted to say "wait a minute", "no more", "see why there is no moon tonight", "see why the bonfire is so bright".

But Chu Chu pulled Xu Lai up, and at the same time, a dark red fire was already lit on the ground.

Xu Lala stood in front of the fire with a sluggish face, while Chu Chu had already trotted to the other side excitedly.

The other little monsters present all looked at them with that strange and stiff smile.

Full of joy, Chuchu urged Xu Lala: "La La, you can jump over here, I will catch you!"

He stood two meters away from Xu Lai. Neither the redness of the fire nor the blackness of night could leave traces of light and shadow on Chu Chu's body. Demons and ghosts are even more different.

The fire in front of him was only knee high, and Xu Lala had very long legs. He could reach there safely by raising his legs and taking a step, but Xu Lala stood where he was, and he didn't move.

Nine-tailed Sky Fox and other demon spirits watching the excitement online also said anxiously: "You should jump over quickly! Oh, my poor first cub."

Shenwu Guishe also sympathized with Chu Chu, and the golden-winged roc dismissed the farce, but Chu Chu didn't know how to feel sorry for himself.No one present could understand Chu Chu's logic: Although Xu Lai did not jump over the fire, Xu Lai was already standing opposite him.

Seeing that Xu Lai was motionless for the first time, he didn't feel a little bit lost. Seeing this, he took the initiative to take three steps back.

Nine-tailed Sky Fox reported in real time online: "It's over, you have hurt my cub's heart again, and he is afraid that you will hate him so he will stay away from you again."

Hearing this, Xu Lala's heart trembled, and he raised his head, only to see that Chu Chu was in the ready posture for a run-up, and his tone of address to Xu Lala was as joyful as ever.

Chu Chu shouted: "I'm coming!"

Xu Lala was only stunned for a moment, and then saw Chu Chu rushing forward.Chu Chu didn't use his demon power, but he jumped three feet high, rationally told Xu Lai Chu Chu that he could land safely, but before that, he had subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch Chu Chu.

Chu Chu's body crashed directly into Xu Lala's arms, Xu Lala took a step back, and the cold breath from Chu Chu's body rushed into his arms.

Xu Lala caught Chuchu firmly.

Both the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox and the Divine Warrior Snake were beating their legs for the scene in front of them, which was a century-old picture of "a big monster at the level of natural disasters jumping over the brazier just to run towards a waste human race".

Shenwugui snorted and withdrew its demon power ahead of time.If he hadn't accidentally released the barrier to support Xu Lai, Xu Lai would have been knocked over at this time and fell to the ground.

Shenwugui is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the jump of the century in front of him, and his contribution is indispensable.

The golden-winged roc replaced the "unreasonable" evaluation with a cold snort, jumping into the brazier represented the response of the female side voluntarily committing to the male side, and a big monster at the level of natural disasters showed love to a human race like this, which is completely tarnishing the name of natural disasters In the past, he would definitely obliterate the existence of this monster.

The skin on Chu Chu's body was as fine and smooth as nephrite jade, and it felt cold to the touch, but there was no chill that invaded the body.

Although Xu Lala deliberately avoided suspicion, he had to admit that Chu Chu was very comfortable to hold.

Chuchu happily buried her face in Xu Lala's shoulder, rubbed it twice, and said softly, "You caught me."

Xu Lala pursed her lips, her mind was blank, she didn't know what to answer, and finally she only answered in a muffled voice: "Yes."
