Chapter 223 The Taste of Falsehood
I don't know if it's because of becoming stronger, but in the battle with Ge Er, Luo couldn't feel the pressure, maybe it was because Ge Er's trump card didn't work on him.
The furniture in the stone house is simple, but the space is not small, and the only light source is the candles placed everywhere.
Outside, the rain still didn't seem to be weakening, but the frequency of lightning appeared significantly lower.
Sambika sat alone in the corner, while Luo and the others sat at the same table.
Bi Siji mentioned Ge Er's identity a little bit, and the latter added a few words, so that Luo's understanding of Ge Er was not limited to one-sided.
Luo thought carefully about the members of the Twelve Earthly Branches in his memory. The appearance of the few female members was not the same as that of Ge Er. Could it be that the members of the Twelve Earthly Branches changed at the beginning of the plot, or their appearance changed drastically after more than ten years .
No matter what the situation is, he feels that the members of the twelve earthly branches should be very strong. If it is Ge Er's strength, he feels that the standard is still low.
Ge Er didn't know what was going on in Luo's mind, and even if she knew, she didn't have the heart to compete with Luo.
Everyone sat quietly in the stone house, and the middle-aged man who was lucky enough to come in to shelter from the rain behaved cautiously, not even daring to say a word, just listening to Luo and their conversation.
From their conversation, the middle-aged man knew the identities of Ge'er and Bi Siji, so he dared to intervene rashly.
His name is marsupial tiger, the name of a wild animal that lives in the plains. I don't know what his parents came up with, so they named him marsupial tiger.
"This rain may last for several days, but I will only keep you one night," Luo said.
Ge'er raised her eyebrows, but she had no objection. She had a fight with Luo at night, and her physical and mental strength fell into a sluggish state. She would feel better after a night's rest.
The marsupial tiger followed closely, it was a blessing to be taken in, so there would be no objection.
"Bishji."
After placing Ge'er and the bag tiger, Luo looked at Bi Siji, who nodded knowingly and got up immediately.
The two went out and walked towards the night rain, but they were about to start a training battle.
After Luo and Bisji left, there were only three people left in the house.
Sambika looked at Ge'er and the tiger in silence, without any desire to talk to them. Except for acquaintances, she always treated strangers like this.
The marsupial tiger was restless, always feeling that his hands and feet would be wrong wherever he put them. What was even more frightening was that his intuition developed from wandering in the deep mountains and old forests for many years was reminding him that the other two people in the house were dangerous.
It's very dangerous, which means... two women, Ge'er and Sambika, can hang and beat him at will.
In fact, Luo and Bi Siji, who have just left, have the same status in the eyes of the bag tiger. He feels like a kitten among tigers and wolves.
Ge'er looked at the closed stone door with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
From the conversation just now, she already knew Luo's identity, he was Bi Siji's apprentice, so he should be a newcomer who got the license within the past two years, so she can check on Luo when she goes back.
half an hour later.
Luo and Bi Siji returned to the stone house drenched. Their faces and bodies were stained with a lot of mud, and they looked quite embarrassed. It must have been a fierce battle.
Seeing the satisfaction on Luo's face, Ge'er was surprised. She didn't know what happened in the past half hour, and even if she wanted to know, Luo wouldn't tell her.
In the half-hour fierce battle, although Luo didn't take advantage of anything, he used the advantage of the location to overpower Bi Siji, which was the first time in recent months.
If Bi Siji hadn't watched the battle between him and Ge'er, the tactics constructed by rock traps and rainwater would have produced better results.
With the advantage in Bisji's hands, even if he didn't win, Luo would feel satisfied. He had to win against the untransformed Bisji before he could further challenge the transformed Bisji.
"Let me help you first."
Luo said something, and walked towards Bi Siji, who knew what Luo wanted to do, and nodded slightly.
I deliberately saved some qi to use Mr. Mighty to get rid of the stains and rain on my body.
Luo lightly touched Bisji's shoulder, and then pulled out the mud stains and rainwater from Bisji's body, and then repeated the trick to remove the mud stains and rainwater from his body.
After finishing the treatment, Luo looked at Ge'er and the bag tiger who were still sitting on the chairs, and asked, "Are you still resting?"
"Then...where do you sleep?" The tiger took a look at the surrounding environment and asked Ge Er's question.
Luo casually pointed to the ground, and said as a matter of course, "There."
"..."
In the early morning of the next day, the rain was still falling, but compared with last night, it had become much smaller.
Luo got up early, but Ge Er and Bi Siji got up earlier.
Regardless of the rain, Bi Siji ran outside to do morning exercises, while Ge Er was standing next to the corpse of the toad of misfortune, frowning. When she woke up, she found that the toad of misfortune had lost its two hind legs.
When Luo came to the hall, he immediately saw that the toad's hind legs had disappeared, and the incision was smooth, as if it had been severed by an extremely sharp blade.
Seeing the incision, Luo's face turned dark, and he immediately guessed that the black cat did it. He ate it without removing the toxin, and he was really not afraid of poison.
Also, the whole doom toad was worth eating for those two hind legs, so the black cat ate only the hind legs.
Ge Er looked away from the incision on Toad's hind leg, landed on Luo's body, and said, "Toad's leg is gone."
"I saw it." Luo replied.
"Who did it?" Ge Er tried to ask.
Luo stretched out the back of his hand, pointed to the silver flame tattoo on it, and said, "He."
The doubts on Ge'er's face deepened, so Luo pulled out the black cat from the back of his hand.
The first thing the black cat said when it came out was: "Luo, that mushroom tastes amazing. I've been here for so long, but I didn't find anything so delicious."
I wanted to ask about the toad, but the topic of the black cat drifted to mushrooms.
Luo came into contact with the happy mushroom last night, and he roughly understood what the black cat was talking about about the mushroom, but he ignored the mushroom and went straight to the point.
"Don't talk about what you have. Did you eat the toad legs?"
Hearing the words, the black cat glanced at the toad that had lost its hind legs, stuck out its tongue and licked its lips, with a reminiscing expression on its face. Although it didn't answer, the answer was obvious.
He got out in the middle of the night, first swallowed the hind legs of the toad, and then ate the happy mushroom in the bag of tigers, and then returned to the back of Luo's hand contentedly.
Ge Er didn't mind the toad's loss of two legs, after all, it was a corpse rather than a living one, and its research value would not be reduced because of the loss of two hind legs.
She stared at the black cat with a surprised look, and asked, "Is this your Nian Beast?"
Nian Beast with such strong intelligence and autonomy is extremely rare.
"Yes." Luo rubbed his forehead.
"So that's the case, no wonder you're not afraid of the poison of the doom toad." Ge'er said in a low voice, if it was Nian Beast, it would make sense.
The black cat didn't have the slightest sense of stealing the toad's hind legs. He ignored Ge'er, flew in front of Luo, and said eagerly, "I'm going to pick mushrooms, and I'll have mushroom soup for breakfast!"
Seeing a black cat that looked like a foodie, Luo's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Mushroom? You mean the happy mushroom?"
The black cat nodded fiercely. He found seven mushrooms from the bag of tigers last night and ate them all. The taste of each mushroom is different, but they are all delicious.
At this time, the tiger is still asleep, completely unaware that the fresh mushrooms he picked have been brutally murdered.
"The taste of happiness mushrooms...is an illusion." Luo said lightly.
"Illusion?" the black cat asked suspiciously.
"The taste you taste is not real, it's just that the mushrooms make your tongue hallucinate." Luo looked calm. After he came into contact with the happiness mushrooms last night, he was not very interested because of this.
It's not a real taste, it's more like a special drug in the ingredients.
Luo is not interested in this fake taste, but as long as he uses his ability to remove the mushroom toxin, this ingredient will become a top-notch delicacy no matter how it is cooked.
With this kind of ingredients, a half-baked chef can support a nine-star restaurant, and if they take part in a food competition, they might easily win the championship.
Of course, the premise is to have Luo's ability, which can remove the poison of mushrooms while retaining the hallucinatory properties of the tongue.
"Tongue hallucinations?" Ge'er knew a lot about Happy Mushrooms, so he didn't know there was such a saying.
She looked at Luo and wanted to ask what was going on, when a surprised cry came from the room.
"My mushroom!" It was the tiger who woke up and found that the mushroom in the package was missing.
This cry not only attracted the attention of others, but also woke up Sambika.
