Chapter 862 Crab Battle!

"ha…"

After a while, the three of them finally uttered a monotonous syllable.

"Hahaha……"

"Ah ha ha ha ha~~~~~~~"

The first syllable was like lighting a fuse, and immediately afterwards, Lal Santiaozi's wild laughter almost scared the sun in the sky into hiding in the clouds.

This reaction... was too exaggerated. Although I laughed a lot when I saw him pull out the sword for the first time from the profiteer owner of the seafood store.

"Hey, Boss Lal, Boss Doug, Boss Gefu, your point of laughter is too low, just don't laugh to death."

Seeing that the three of them were rolling on the ground holding their bellies in an exaggerated manner, I couldn't help but pick up the scabbard and poked their heads one by one.

"Too naive, brother Wu, you are really too naive."

At this moment, the three of them suddenly recovered. A carp jumped up from the ground, folded its arms, and looked down at me with a victor's posture.

"What...what do you mean?"

They were all laughing like this. They had obviously fallen into my trap. Do they still want to make excuses? Misaka said helplessly at their thick skin and spat in her heart.

"Do you think our laughter just now was because of this silver swordfish? That's why I said you were too naive."

Lal took a big step forward, pointed his index finger straight at me, and said sonorously and forcefully like a judge sentencing a prisoner to death.

"Damn it...this is just your unwilling barking after being attacked, right?"

Immediately attracted by Lar's aura, I couldn't help but take a small step back, and suddenly realized that Lar had just mentioned the silver swordfish, right? I hadn't said yet, how did he know that the one on his hand made him The laughing salted fish is the silver swordfish? Could it be that……

I had a vague feeling in my heart. For a while, the maxims of my predecessors, such as walking too much at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts, how can you avoid getting your shoes wet when walking by the river, etc., flashed through my mind one by one.

"Hmph, what's wrong? This is not like you normally, are you already feeling guilty? Hahahaha!!!"

The three of them now look like the arrogant monsters in "Beep" Superman, who temporarily beat the protagonist to the ground and then surrounded him with proud croaks and claws.

"Do you think we came unprepared this time? In order to convince you and completely defeat you, we have spent a lot of effort, and now let you see the evidence of your naivety!!"

Saying this, Lal suddenly placed a book across my face.

"What the hell?"

I subconsciously became vigilant. After saying goodbye to Aleus for the second time, I now have a certain degree of repulsion towards things like books and notes.

I took the book, straightened the cover and looked at it. I was shocked by the big words on it.

[Eighteen ways to cook silver swordfish]...

I'll do it! !

Is there such a book? !

"How about it? Believe it or not. In order to deal with your souvenir, Doug Goff and I made a special trip to Lugaoin before we met in the camp to study all the possible moves you might make. Including this silver swordfish sword, we have known about it for a long time, hahahahaha~~~~"

After saying that, the three of them were like monsters again, with their arms folded and they were taunting me to their heart's content.

"..."

He knelt down in defeat in the posture of otz - Damn it, I lost, I lost. I didn't expect them to achieve this level, nor did I expect the idea of ​​​​the silver swordfish sword. Lu Gaoyin in the first world actually There will be.

It was because my previous success was too smooth, so I underestimated the determination of these three guys. It was me who was proud, not them. This time, I was convinced that I lost.

"no solution anymore."

I stood up, patted the dirt on my body, and showed a convinced smile.

"I admit, I lost this time."

Just now, the three people who were laughing strangely and swaying their hips in front of me in a mocking manner suddenly seemed to have seen a ghost. Their laughter stopped in surprise, and the smiles froze on their faces, and then they raised their voices with a roar. The dust kept a distance of fifty meters from me.

"Something's wrong."

The three of them whispered to each other.

"Brother Wu gave up so quickly."

"It's not like his style at all."

"Does this little bastard still have something behind him?"

"I asked, smelling a conspiracy."

“Practice proves that caution is better.”

"As long as we three brothers work together, we can't be afraid of any dangers."

After muttering this in a low voice that could be heard by people far away, the three finally folded their palms and shouted loudly, showing a gesture of unity and unity to defeat the enemy.

After some discussion, the three of them felt that their military morale was firm, and they walked up to me in a swaggering manner.

"Okay, as punishment for losing this time, this is the real souvenir I brought back to you. You're welcome, just accept it."

I handed them a crystal shell that was larger than the basin.

"Holy shit!!"

The three of them immediately became excited.

"What a beautiful shell."

The beauty of some things, even a man cannot ignore, is the crystal shell in her hand. Although it is not as good as the four-winged golden mermaid Eria's dad gave her to sleep with, it is still small. Exquisite, smooth and round, the surface naturally shines with a layer of crystal luster, making people feel like they are in a jeweled underwater dragon palace.

"Give this thing to me, I'll give it to Lisa."

Lal immediately reached out his hand shamelessly, while Doug and Geoff looked indifferent. Although the shells are beautiful, they cannot be used as food. Why not use them to please Sister Lisa? This is their idea of ​​being savages.

"Aunt Lisa, of course I prepared a gift for her."

I pulled out the shell, smiled and told Lar to calm down.

Good, their vigilance has weakened.

"Wait, you seem to have misunderstood."

"Huh?"

The three of them stopped and looked curiously at the huge shell in front of them.

"Is there any mystery left?"

"It's not a mystery..."

I looked at the three of them speechlessly. They are obviously simple-minded guys, but they always like to complicate simple things. Is this the translation of a tsundere idiot?

"We are all so familiar with each other, and I also know your personalities. Those sculptures, works of art, etc. are not as practical to you as food, right?"

The current meaning is that you are all a group of foodies, but the three of them did not understand it. They nodded cooperatively, and then looked at me with a confused look on their faces as if they suddenly remembered something.

"So there is no need to consider things like the Sinking Demon Wizard's ghost-headed staff, the one-to-two-sized ugly monster statue, and Andariel's simulated tentacles."

"Ha...haha, it's just your illusion."

I felt guilty and shrank my neck. All in all, I was also a victim. It was all thanks to the profiteer Warev for being able to deceive people. I bought such a lot of useless things, so I had no choice but to treat them as rubbish and stuff them with them.

"Ahem, let's get back to the topic. Just because I know your personalities, I thought about it again and again, and finally decided to buy you food."

"That's true. Compared with the ghost-headed staff, statues, tentacles, etc., it is indeed more practical for us to eat."

Lal and the others nodded in sympathy, then suddenly thought of something again, and looked at me with hatred on their faces.

"So things like seafood bread, psychedelic mushrooms, etc., don't have to think about it, asshole!!"

"Ha...haha, it's just your illusion, it's true."

Afraid that they could not help but run away, I took a step back without leaving any trace, and secretly spat in my heart.

It's been such a long time ago, I didn't expect that they still remember it clearly. They are really a bunch of small-minded guys.

"Ahem, in short, let's get down to business, so this souvenir is undoubtedly for food."

"That's it? Brother Wu, you..."

"You don't want to use this trick to trick us."

As he spoke, Lal curled up his index finger and flicked it lightly on the shell. A clear "thump" sound was made immediately, indicating that the shell was hard enough.

"If you say this shell is edible, then forget it and leave it to your Alice. I guess only he can bite it."

After testing the hardness of the shell, Lal spread his hands, sighed and shook his head helplessly.

"..."

It seems that the little ghost's teeth have spread and become a famous killer weapon.

"Who said it was this shell? Are you worried that I'm playing tricks on you again? You're so worried that your brains are frightened."

I sighed helplessly.

"What did you say?" The three of them were furious.

"This is the food I'm talking about." As I said that, I opened the shell with great effort and closed it. It was really tight, but if it wasn't like this...

Opening two scallop leaves, what appeared in front of Lal and the others was a golden crab with eight claws neatly restrained and neatly placed inside the shell.

"What the hell is this? Why do you have to put a crab into a shell like this?"

Surprised, the three of them expressed confusion, as if they were using an expensive crystal box worth millions to hold a bottle cap that could be seen everywhere.

"This is no ordinary crab."

I pushed up the bridge of my nose and said proudly.

Has this moment finally come? Hum.

"I don't know if you have heard of it. Lu Gaoyin's legendary golden flesh is a gift from the God of the Sea."

"Oh, I've heard this rumor before. It's said that it's more delicious than the three major delicacies in Kurast, but I've never seen it before. I don't even know what it is. I can tell it's very likely after just one look. **Another false rumor.”

How could Doug, the braggart who hangs out in bars all year round, not know? As soon as I said it, he immediately started showing off at the top of his voice.

"Hmph, that's really superficial."

I expressed my strong disdain for Doug's speech.

"That is a story that is only passed down by old fishermen who dare to go deep into the depths of the sea that even adventurers cannot reach, and challenge the powerful creatures in the lower reaches of the deep sea. Even we adventurers, they don't bother to tell it."

"In other words, this news is true?"

Doug's eyes flashed with a light called gossip.

"Yes, it's natural that you haven't heard of it, because this news was passed down from the second world. In Lu Gaoyin, the first world, few fishermen can go deep into fishing in that kind of place."

I nodded and told the rumors I heard from the profiteers in the seafood shop, word for word.

"Could it be that this thing in front of me is..."

Lal showed a fair amount of shock.

"Hmph, your reaction is not slow. Yes, this is the legend. The legendary gift of Poseidon, golden meat, actually refers to this golden crab!!"

"Oh oh oh——!!"

The three notes were excited by my passionate tone.

"Why has it become a legend? Think about it, if the three delicacies of Kurast can be easily obtained and appear on everyone's dining table, can they still be called the three delicacies?"

After a pause, seeing the understanding looks in the three people's eyes, I nodded with satisfaction and continued.

"So, the golden crab that is called a legend is of course even rarer. They live on the deep seabed five thousand meters below. In a month, they only exist on full moon nights, when the moon rises to its highest point. , it only took half a minute for him to surface, and that’s not enough!!”

Just like the host of a TV commercial, he was frothing at the mouth, tapping the crystal shell on it, and explaining to the three people as best he could.

"This is not enough. Of course, we are not the only ones who want to eat these delicious crabs, but also powerful sea monsters. Therefore, in order to avoid attracting the attention of sea monsters as much as possible, the fishermen can only use a small canoe that is difficult for even a child to sit on. , rowing to a depth of tens of kilometers, just because of this, how many people lose their lives every year."

"That feeling is!!"

Santiaozi nodded in sympathy. They had seen the power of the sea, especially Doug, a seasick man. They couldn't imagine rowing out to the deep sea dozens of kilometers away in a small boat that even a child could not sit on. What kind of situation it will be like, it may not be easier for him than challenging Barr alone.

"Besides crabs, this beautiful shell is a great thing to put anything in it to keep it fresh."

When Vilas, who was not far away, heard these words, her eyes lit up.

"This shell alone is worth this amount."

I compared them in front of them.

"No way!!" the three people exclaimed.

"Of course, compared to the contents inside, the price is not worth mentioning. All of these are added up, but it is worth it..."

I made a gesture to them again with a pained look on my face. I didn't lie this time. I really spent so much money to buy it.

"So, you should accept this gift with gratitude,"

"Then we won't be polite."

Lal and the other three accepted it with smiles on their faces.

"Eat it quickly. Although the shells can keep them fresh, it's safer to eat them in your mouth." I suggested kindly.

"I will, I will."

The three of them nodded desperately, looking like they wished they could just sit on the floor and chew their food.

"By the way, there is another rumor that I don't know if you have heard of."

Seeing that Lal and the others had completely lost their guard, I added in a nonchalant tone.

"It is said that eating the four pairs of claws and a pair of large pincers of the golden crab has such (whispering...whispering) effects."

There was a roar, and a thunderbolt seemed to flash above the heads of the three people. They stared closely at the crab's eight claws and two large pincers, and their eyes could not tolerate anything else.

"But there are eight claws and two large pincers. The total number is ten. The three people can't divide it evenly. How about I eat one of them..."

I tried to reach out, but as soon as I raised my hand, it was caught by Lar's strong hand.

He raised his head solemnly, looked at me deeply, and said firmly and forcefully every word: "No need, brother, we believe that our friendship can easily solve such a small matter."

"Boss..."

Doug and Geoff looked at Lal with tears in his eyes, who suddenly became a manly captain. They couldn't explain why they were moved, but they just wanted to be moved.

"so……"

Putting down my hand, Lal turned around and looked lovingly at the two brothers who had accompanied him through life and death. Memories of the past scenes of risking one's life to protect each other flashed through his mind one by one.

"So you also know that I have Lisa here and you yourself are single, so I won't accept it politely."

Lal's actions were just like his words. He finished speaking quickly in one breath and at the same time grabbed the crab and rushed a hundred meters away, leaving only a breeze for me who stood there stunned.

"Ahh——!!"

It's a pity that even though Lal moved quickly, he still couldn't escape the pursuit of the barbarian brothers. They seemed to be prepared and pounced on Lal when he made a move.

"Let me go, you two bastards, do you want to usurp my position as the boss?"

Being pinned to the ground by two tall barbarians, Lal struggled to protect the crab.

"Boss, it's our turn to say this."

"That's right, I should say, boss, you already have sister-in-law Lisa, so it's enough to share the crabs with us."

"Shut up, you two foodies, do you only think about eating?"

"Only the boss has no right to criticize us."

Great... friendship, looking at the cold wind that has spread again, like a battlefield, the difference from before is that I have been excluded from this battlefield.

"Wait, continuing to argue like this is not an option."

Finally, as the boss, Lal patted his butt, stood up, and stopped him.

"Actually, if you think about it, as long as you boil this crab into a pot of crab porridge, wouldn't everyone be able to eat it?"

"The wise boss!!"

Doug Goff thought about it, right? Why didn't I think of it before?

Suddenly, a clear sun appeared above the heads of the three people who were originally covered with dark clouds. The bright sunshine shone down, seemingly making the precious friendship between them shine brightly.

"If you make it into porridge or crab meat balls or something, the effect will be gone. You can only eat it this way."

Standing far away, I added with a smile.

Boom! !

Dark clouds instantly shrouded the heads of the three of them again, and the bright and deep friendship that filled the air suddenly turned into a black aura.

The pupils of the three people dilated violently ten times, and their white eyeballs were filled with a network of bloodshot eyes.
