After releasing the vampire bats, Xiao Ling and Xiao Tan hid in the shadow of a building and observed the commotion inside the kitchen quietly.
In less than a minute, the kitchen door was pushed open by 'someone', and a large man with a pig's head and human body walked out from it.
Just as the two players were about to discuss how they should deal with this situation, suddenly …
"Excuse me …" In the blink of an eye, Oink appeared before Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling. He opened his lips to ask calmly, "Why don't you come with me to the kitchen for a chat?"
This sudden and unexpected change caused the Terror Points of the two players to skyrocket. How did Oink discover them and how did he manage to move to stand before them? The two had no idea at all. The only thing they could confirm at that moment was … this NPC was impossibly powerful.
"What if we don't want to go?" Xiao Ling did not reject the NPC outright but asked to test the waters.
"Humph …" Oink scoffed and continued. "Even though I sounded like I was asking you a question, I don't think you have a choice." He paused. "Of course, if you insist on rejecting me, I suggest you consider whether you can do it or not instead of whether you want to or not."
"Er … That …" Be it from the man's skill, presence, or language, Xiao Tan had a strong feeling that … they needed to back down. "I think …" He lowered his voice and told Xiao Ling, "I think we should go …"
"Fine … fine …" Xiao Ling dragged out her tone and sighed with a shake of her head. She knew very well that if she did not follow the NPC's order, they would be faced with another instant death, and this time … there was no turning back.
Therefore, the two of them helplessly followed Oink to the kitchen.
The distance of several meters was only a matter of time.
Once they entered the kitchen, Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling saw No Mouth King squatting in the corner. When their eyes met, suspicion rose in their hearts.
"Looks like we're not the first batch to be invited in …" Xiao Ling muttered to herself as she looked at No Words King. She then glanced at the pot of soup on the stove and asked, "Your teammates … Don't tell me they've all been cooked by him?"
"He cooked … the mini boss that I just killed …" No Mouth King glared at his two opponents from Underworld Frontline and forced himself to put on a tough front. "Humph … If not for the fact that I fought with the mini boss for so long, I wouldn't have been captured by him …"
Once he said that, Xiao Tan asked, "Hmm? You don't look like you're restricted in any way. " He pointed his finger at Oink. "When Second Senior came out to capture us, why didn't you run?"
"Of course … If I could run, why wouldn't I run?" No Mouth King scoffed. "That man's speed was as fast as teleportation, so how could I …"
"I say … You two …" At this moment, Oink could not take it anymore. He interrupted them, "Don't you think it's a little rude to keep calling them 'second senior brother' and 'that guy'?" He paused for half a second before adding, "My name is Oink … Remember that."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiao Ling was enlightened. "So, you're Oink."
Feng Bujue and Ruo Yu had told their teammates about this pig-headed man a long time ago. At the beginning of the game, they would often discuss the characters or events that they encountered in the scenario in detail to share their experience of clearing the scenario. Later, after Brother Jue experienced the Cedar County Hospital scenario at the Monster Kingdom, he found out that Oink was the Unique Data, so he mentioned it to his teammates again.
Xiao Ling had a good memory. Even though she had not seen this NPC in person, when she heard his name, she was instantly reminded of the various descriptions that she had heard about Oink.
"Hmm … This name does sound familiar …" On the other side, Xiao Tan was reminded of something and mumbled softly.
"It's no use even if you've heard of my name …" Oink shrugged. He continued, "… Since you're already here, you have to follow my rules."
"What rules?" Xiao Ling asked. "What does' here 'mean? Is it referring to Six Harmonies Temple? Or Lotus Moon Town? What happened here? "
"Haha …" Oink chuckled. "Your questions …" He glanced at No Mouth Is King. "… That kid has already asked all of them." He shook his head and shrugged. "I'll go through the rules first …" He opened the pot of soup and used a large spoon to stir it. "If you want me to answer your questions, you have to drink my soup first."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was startled and narrowed his eyes. "This rule … seems quite polite …"
"Hmph … You wouldn't say that if you've seen what the mini boss looks like," Not Talking King said in a weird tone.
…
On the other hand …
At the same time, before the door to the abbot's room at Six Harmonies Temple.
"Phew … Be careful … I'm going to push the door open …" First Ye Wang took a deep breath before turning back to warn his teammates.
"Don't worry, I'll cover you," Final Assault, who stood not far behind his team leader, replied.
After all, these two were professional players, so they had a clear idea of what to do when they explored. After they entered the temple, they did not say anything … They headed straight for the stone pagoda at the center of Six Harmonies Temple. Since Xiao Tan had already cleared the entrance of the temple and cleared out the female monsters behind the three doors, First Ye Wang and Final Assault reached their destination without any hindrance.
However, when they arrived at the stone pagoda, they realized that the door to the stone pagoda was sealed. They needed the key to the stone pagoda to open it. Based on First Ye Wang's speculation, the key to this kind of place was most likely with the abbot. Therefore, the two of them sneaked their way to the abbot's room …
"Okay, if something happens after we push the door open, you …" As First Ye Wang said that, he placed his hand on the door.
Who would have thought …
"Ah … Er …"
Suddenly, a murmuring sound came from the darkness behind them. In this smelly, dark, and quiet temple … this sound was incomparably ear-piercing.
"Tsk … They've caught up to us." First of all, the King was a little scared and angry at this moment. His tone of speech and the expression on his face were quite aggressive. And his action … was undoubtedly influenced by this mentality, and he became rather reckless.
"There's no other way. You go in and find the key. I'll lure these monsters away," First Ye Wang said as he pushed open the wooden door to the abbot's room.
Behind the door was a deep darkness.
And …
"Amitabha …" A human shadow chanted softly as he slowly walked out from the door.
The two from Zombie Blade reacted quickly as well. They did not care about the consequences. They jumped back one big step and put on their guard.
Two seconds later, a purple-faced monk wearing a black monk's robe and a red kasaya walked out from the abbot's room.
His skin color aside, based on his appearance, the monk was young and handsome. No matter how one looked at it, he was no older than thirty. He did not look like he was old enough to be the abbot of the temple. However, the staff that he was holding and the kasaya that he was wearing showed that he was not a normal monk.
"Dear benefactors …" After the purple-faced monk stepped out of the door, he looked at the two players from Zombie Blade with a half-smile. "This is a place of Buddhism …" His eyes turned to the weapons that the two players were already holding. "Why are the two of you holding the murderous weapons in your hands?"
The question that this NPC said was obviously hiding some kind of dangerous flag. If the answer was not good, the result would be predictable.
"Er …" First Ye Wang was the leader of Zombie Blade, so he was not a fool. Even without the aid of medicine, he would not fall for such an obvious trap. Therefore, after a short period of contemplation, he put on a kind expression and bowed with his fists. He was still holding the blade, but he did not dare put it away. "Master, this brother and I … for some reason, we were chased by evil spirits and accidentally stumbled into this temple. If we have offended you … please forgive us. "
"Oh? Evil spirits? " When the purple-faced monk heard these two words, the smile on his face deepened. Under the dim light, the shadows on his face flickered, making his expression seem strange and unfathomable. "Benefactor, are you referring to … those behind you?"
Before he finished, several ghosts had already walked through the wall and appeared in the courtyard outside the abbot's room. When First Ye Wang and the others turned back to look, the few monsters that floated at the front were only ten meters away from them.
"Yes, yes …" First Ye Wang quickly answered. "I wonder if the master can help us chase away these ghosts?"
"Hahaha …" The purple-faced monk laughed. "Benefactors, you must be joking. Monks are merciful. Since you two are already here, how can I just sit here and do nothing?"
When he said that, the two players exchanged a look and sighed in relief. It looked like … the negotiation between First Ye Wang and this NPC was successful.
But they did not expect … before the NPC could finish …
"I will help you two now …" The next second, the smile on the purple-faced monk's face turned cold. "… ascend to the western paradise and be spared from the pain of purgatory!"
…
The scene returned to the kitchen.
At this moment, three players were sitting side by side at a rectangular wooden table. From left to right, they were Xiao Ling, Wang Tanzhi, and Not Mouthed King.
Oink … was by the stove, pouring soup into three big bowls.
The pig-headed man deftly scooped out three bowls of meat soup and placed them on a wooden tray. Then, he carried them with one hand.
He placed the three bowls before the three players. Then, he stood where he was and crossed his arms before his chest. He looked down at the three of them and said, "The three of you … have a taste of my cooking, and then we can talk."
"Er … Although I don't want to be too obvious, but …" Xiao Tan looked at the soup bowl before him with a troubled expression and mumbled.
"This bowl of soup looks and smells very suspicious …" Xiao Ling finished the second half of her teammate's sentence.
Of course, they were being more tactful with their words. Not Mouthed King said directly, "What do you mean by 'suspicious' … It's clearly 'disgusting' … Just the sight of it makes me want to vomit."
Not Mouthed King's comment … was quite accurate. The soup that Oink cooked was greasy and greasy, and the smell was indescribably disgusting. Calling it a dark cuisine was already being polite. If one had to make an analogy, it would be as disgusting as a pot of urine and feces.
"Humph …" Oink was not bothered by their reaction. He continued with a smile, "If you think it's disgusting, you don't have to drink it."
"Really?" The innocent Xiao Tan asked with glowing eyes.
"Really." Oink's answer was crisp. "But … not drinking the soup doesn't mean that you can leave."
Anyone with a brain could tell that there was a plot twist here. Whether or not they drank this disgusting soup would decide the rest of the story.
Just as the players were considering this, suddenly …
Creak!
Following the sound of rolling wood, the kitchen door was pushed open from the outside. Then, a figure appeared at the door.
"What the f * ck?"
This curse obviously did not come from any of the players because when they used this kind of curse, it would be blocked by the system.
Therefore, the one who uttered those two words was … Oink.
"Yo, long time no see." Feng Bujue looked at the pig-headed man with a smile. With light steps, he walked toward the table where the other three were seated.
"Kid, why are you here?" Oink's tone was obviously different from Brother Jue. In any case, it sounded like they were very familiar with each other …
"Well … Hehe …" Feng Bujue said as he walked to the table. "It's a long story …" Before he finished, he picked up the bowl of soup before Not Mouthed King. "I'll tell you about it after I drink some water."
"What the f * ck?" This time, Not Mouthed King gasped internally.
Even though Xiao Fei had heard a lot about Feng Bujue, when Brother Jue really appeared before him and picked up a bowl of extremely disgusting meat soup and poured it into his mouth … Not Mouthed King was still shocked.
Gulp … Gulp … Gulp …
Feng Bujue lifted his neck, and his Adam's apple shook. He gulped down the entire bowl of soup in one gulp. Even the meat, bones, and other ingredients … were all swallowed by him, much less the soup.
This time, not only Not Mouthed King, even Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling were shocked.
And that was not the end of it …
Hualala!
After Brother Jue finished the soup until there was not a single drop left, he swung his arm and slammed the bowl to the ground. It was like he was drinking a toast of brotherhood.
Before the sound of the bowl shattering disappeared, Feng Bujue used his sleeve to wipe his mouth. He looked at Oink and said, "Hmm, not bad, but it's a bit hot."
