Chapter 995
995 Rabbit ears (1)
Following the moving crowd, the Tigerman Captain and the others finally arrived at the city gates of Snow City.
Compared to the previous period of relaxation, the defense level of Snow City had been greatly improved. There were archers everywhere on the city wall, and the city defense weapons had also been placed in sections, ready to be used at any time.
When it was the Tigerman captain’s turn to enter the city, the soldiers guarding the city glanced at them. After seeing that they were just ordinary adventurers, they did not pay much attention to them.
During this period of time, people dressed in similar attire had been constantly coming in and out of Snow City, and the soldiers had long been annoyed.
At the start, the city guards would still carefully inspect them, but after persisting for a period of time, all the soldiers felt extremely tired, and they might even fall asleep while standing guard.
Therefore, the soldiers turned a blind eye to the inspection of outsiders entering the city.
In fact, the city guards were very clear that if these cultivators wanted to cause trouble, how could a mere city gate stop them?
If these cultivators wanted to hide any prohibited items, they wouldn’t be discovered by ordinary soldiers with their means!
However, even so, the necessary procedures could not be omitted. At most, they would go easy on the Japanese officers during the inspection period.
pay the entrance fee, then quickly go in. Don’t block the way!
The soldiers who had been patrolling the entire night patted the bodies of the Tigermen Captain and the others impatiently as if they were checking. They didn’t even lift their eyelids.
Who knew if this guy with sleepy eyes had seen the Tigerman captain’s face?
The Tigerman Captain nodded and took out a few coins. He threw them into a box at the city gate, and then the group walked into the city.
After crossing the small stone bridge at the city gate, a wide street appeared in front of them. On both sides of the street were taverns, blacksmiths, and other shops. It looked like business was booming.
Such a lively scene was actually very rare in the past.
Usually, the shops on this Street would also have customers, but it was obviously not as crowded as it was now. Even the tavern that the Tigermen Captain and the others often went to was already full of people!
Judging from the attire of these customers, they were obviously from other places. The number of people gathered together was even slightly more than the total number of residents in Snow City!
The arrival of the large number of foreigners had directly boosted the economy of Snow City, causing the merchants of Snow City to earn a large amount of money, and all of them were beaming with joy.
At the same time, in the dark corners that ordinary people couldn’t notice, all kinds of shady deals were going on, making the city more and more complicated.
Some of the residents of Snow City even chose to stay in their homes during this period of time to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Little bird and the others walked through the city with ease and familiarity. Finally, they came to a Street. After looking around, they walked to an unremarkable house.
This house was the secret stronghold of the Tigermen Captain and the others in Snow City. The person who lived here was another of their companions. He was in charge of collecting intelligence and handling all kinds of chores.
It was also for this reason that this guy had avoided a disaster!
After he reached out and patted the door a few times, the door was gently opened, and a man with slightly messy hair poked his head out.
He yawned and was about to say something when he saw the Tigerman Captain and the others standing outside the door.
“Boss, you’re finally back? I was so worried!”
When the man saw the Tigermen Captain and the others, he immediately opened the door in surprise. As he spoke, he pounced toward little bird, who was standing in the middle of the team.
“Come, come, come, little Niao girl, it’s been a long time since we last met, did you miss me?
Quick, let big brother check if you’re injured.”
Looking at the man with a perverted smile, the little bird curled its lips in disdain. It raised its leg and kicked the man’s crotch.
The man’s reaction was extremely fast. When the bird raised its leg, he immediately dodged to the side and looked at the bird with an aggrieved expression.
He brushed the hair on his forehead and said in a bitter tone, ” little bird Girl, did you have a change of heart? why are you doing this to me? ”
The little bird blushed when it heard this. In a flash, it rushed to the front of the vulgar man and reached out to pull his ear, which was obviously longer than an ordinary person’s.
“Damn rabbit ears, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll pull your ears off and feed them to the dogs!”
The man’s ear seemed to be extremely elastic. It was pulled out by more than half a meter by the bird, as if it could break at any time!
The man who was called rabbit ears by the little bird immediately bared his teeth and repeatedly begged for mercy. After saying a lot of good things, the little bird released its hand with hatred.
I’ll let you off this time. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll definitely pull your ears off!
The little bird pouted and ignored the annoying fellow.
When the other team members saw this scene, they all laughed without saying a word. It was obvious that they had long known the nature of their companion and were happy to see him suffer.
you foul mouth. Every time, you have to be taught a lesson by little bird before you’ll be obedient for a day or two.
The Tigerman Captain smiled, then looked around and gave rabbit ears a look.
“What are you still doing? Everyone, hurry up and go into the house!”
Rabbit ears ‘eyes cleared up. After calling out to everyone, he quickly opened the door and everyone walked in one by one.
Rabbit ears, who was at the back, closed the door and peeked through the gap for a while before quickly walking to the back room.
After passing through the room in front, there was a spacious open space behind the house. The Tigermen Captain and the others were already sitting on the chairs, waiting for the rabbit ears to return.
After placing a plate of fruit on the table, rabbit ears walked to the Tigermen Captain. He put away his wretched expression and asked in a concerned tone, ” “Captain, did something happen to you guys this time?”
The Tigerman Captain nodded, then shook his head and said slowly, ” “This matter is very dangerous, so it’s best if you don’t know about it. The further away you are from us, the better!
I’ve come back this time to tell you not to take any more missions from Snow City for the time being.
I’ll give you half of the money we’ve saved up over the years, and you can take it and leave Snow City as soon as possible. Find a place to live an honest life, and never come back here!”
When rabbit ears heard this, he immediately looked anxious and asked anxiously, ” “What’s wrong, Captain? why would you say such a thing?
We brothers have been through life and death together and have gone through so many hardships, but we have never said that we want to separate.
You’ve just returned and you’re already trying to chase me away. Have you ever considered my feelings?”
The rabbit ears had a sad and angry expression, but soon his brows furrowed and he looked up at the crowd.
“Something’s not right. Tell me, what happened to you?
If you treat me as your brother, you’d better not hide it from me!”
The Tigerman Captain pondered for a moment and looked at the anxious and concerned rabbit ears. Finally, he slowly said, ” “I’ll tell you the truth. We were caught by the otherworldly demons when we were in River View Village, and we almost died!
later on, due to some special circumstances, we managed to keep our lives, but we had no choice but to sign a slave contract with the otherworldly demons.
Fortunately, although we’ve signed a contract, the heavenly demonic tribe isn’t as terrifying as the legends say. Apart from the fact that we don’t have the freedom we used to have, everything else is normal.
And like before, you can accept missions and earn a Commission that’s several times higher than before.”
The Tigermen Captain couldn’t help but sigh.
“However, the otherworldly demons are still outsiders, and they’re now being targeted by all the major forces. If we follow them, our future will be uncertain, and we might even lose our lives one day.
We don’t have a choice, but you can pull yourself out of this in time, so I hope you can leave this mess as soon as possible and find a place to live a peaceful life.”
“It’s not just you. We brothers will also do our best to make proper arrangements for our family members.
As for what will happen in the future, we can only leave it to fate!”
The Tigerman Captain looked up at the rabbit-eared boy, waiting for his answer.
After a long silence, the rabbit-eared man suddenly raised his head and looked at the Tigerman Captain and the other members of the adventurer team. He suddenly grinned.
“Where else can I go? of course I’m going to hang around with you guys. If we die, we’ll die together. Don’t even think about leaving me behind!”
At this point, rabbit ears looked up at the bird and showed the same wretched smile.
“Of course, the most important thing is that little Niao girl is still here. I really can’t bear to leave.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his ears were pulled up by the girl again, and a series of miserable screams rang out.
