Last Totem Novel - Chapter 59

Chapter 59 Dinner
For hundreds of years, the sea north of Luoyan Town was called the “Black Sea” or “Sea of Darkness” by fishermen. The name comes from the large number of black-backed piranhas in the sea.

According to scientists, the ancestor of the black-backed piranha was an ordinary sea crucian. Their scales were black, 30 to 50 centimeters long, their tiny teeth were extremely sharp, their mouth was extremely clenching, and their sense of smell of fresh blood was exceptionally sharp. If someone falls into the water unfortunately, and there is a small wound on their body. Thousands of black backs would sweep in from all directions in five minutes. In a few seconds, the unfortunate man who fell into the water would turn into a naked white skeleton and be buried in the sea without even taking a single piece of meat.

Black-backed piranhas are shallow sea creatures that feed in groups. When they appear, they often gather in groups and dye large areas of the sea black. This is why the Black Sea is named after them. In addition, the scales of the black-backed piranhas were extremely tough. Many fishermen used fishing lines to run them and then used them as armor to pierce their bodies. This armor was extremely tough and lightweight. It was known as the Black-Backed Fish Scaled Armor.

Every winter, there is less food in the shallow sea. Because many shoals of fish have left the Black Sea, following the last warm current to the warm south. Black-backed piranhas are territory-dwelling creatures. Each community has a fixed habitat and does not migrate with other schools of fish. As a result, every season the black-backed piranhas crave more blood and food than ever before. If no prey is found, the black-backed piranhas will bite each other. This kind of creature could even be used as food for its companions, and the degree of danger was evident.

Just now, the boss asked the traveler if he was crazy. Actually, he didn’t have any malicious intentions. It was just that he had been in Luoyan Town for a long time, and he understood more than most people how terrifying the Black Sea was.

“Is no one willing to go out to sea at this time of year?” Asked the traveler.

“Only madmen would be willing. Of course, there is never a shortage of madmen here, but there shouldn’t be many who are crazy enough to cross the Black Sea in winter.” The boss earnestly advised, “Young man, from your voice, I estimate that you are not old either. At most, you are in your early twenties. Listening to Uncle’s words, if you want to take risks, you will have to wait until spring. At worst, you will stay here for a longer time. I will give you a discount. How about half the price?”

“Thank you for your kindness. I will consider it again.” Answered the traveller.

At this time, the boss suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “Young man …”

“Huh?” The traveler stopped his knife and fork and looked at the bartender.

“Do you want a woman at night?” Whispered the boss. The traveller shook his head and continued to eat. Seeing this, the boss did not say anything else. He stood up silently and went back to the bar to wipe the wine glass again …

It was nine o’clock in the evening. After dinner, the traveler pushed the motorcycle into the guest room on the second floor of the Giant Wood Barrel.

Half an hour later, a fat girl with heavy makeup walked into the bar. She pushed the door so hard that the half-wooden door slammed into the wall, making a “bump” that the owner, who was shaking the barrel, almost jumped in fright.

“Lilith, you’re really early tonight.” The boss saw the person clearly and asked with a smile.

“We’re running out of money to eat. We’re still in a hurry!” The fat girl said in a rough voice. Her arms and waist were round, her hands and feet were thick, and her neck was thick. In short, everything on her body was one size bigger than others. Although she was very fat, her appearance was still decent. Her skin was fair and she felt like a baby fat. After looking for a long time, she had a different style. However, her makeup was too thick, her eyeliner was too dark, and her lipstick was too deep, causing her to look a little uglier than usual.

“Don’t say that. You are our red card. If you don’t have money to eat, wouldn’t we be starving to death?” The boss flattered.

“Look at your dead face.” The fat girl pinched her lotus finger, pushed the boss, and scolded, “Even if you flatter me, I will still charge you.”

“I’ll give you a discount. How about I treat you to a drink?” The boss suggested.

‘”Save it, keep your horse pee wine …” Halfway through her words, the boss quickly covered her mouth, wrinkled her bitter face and whispered, “Big sister, keep your voice down. If those pirates hear me, can I still survive?”

As an old oriental slang phrase goes, “no man in the day, no ghost in the night.”

Just as the owner finished speaking, the wooden door of the bar let out a loud “knock” sound, followed by several strong men rushing in, quickly packing the small bar.

A few seconds later, the strong men made way for a passageway. A slightly fat middle-aged man walked forward and took out a large pistol at his waist and slapped it on the bar counter! Then, he stared fiercely into the boss’s eyes.

This was the captain of the Fishdragon, Xia Yihan, a fierce, cunning, and shameless pirate!

The boss forcefully looked at the other party calmly, and the air seemed to freeze. The entire bar was quiet, as if a needle could be heard falling to the ground. The boss felt like he was about to collapse. He had no idea what the other party was trying to do. Bean-sized cold sweat fell drop by drop like this.

“Hahaha” The captain laughed without warning and opened his arms to the owner of the bar. The boss hurriedly replied. In the next second, they hugged each other like old friends they hadn’t seen for many years. In the blink of an eye, the atmosphere became lively.

“Old rules! Wine, meat!”

“Alright.”

As soon as the boss returned to the kitchen, he immediately collapsed by the door and almost fainted. Dealing with these pirates was even more dangerous than being a mercenary back then.

At this moment, there was another conversation in the bar.

“Scared the pig. The food he made will taste better.” Said the captain proudly.

“Boss is wise!” Wu Congyun praised sincerely.

“However, I suddenly wanted to kill him.” The captain’s face changed as he spoke fiercely with his eyes wide open.

Wu Congyun immediately pulled out his pistol and was about to stand up to carry out the order.

The captain pondered for a moment, and then, as if remembering something very important, he said, “It’s better to kill after dinner, or no one will cook.”

“Profound foresight!” Wu Congyun put away his gun and gave him a thumbs up. The fat cat, who was sitting at the side, involuntarily rolled its eyes and cast a disdainful gaze at Wu Congyun.

“First mate, do you think I’m right?” Wu Congyun asked at the right time.

“You’re right.” The fat cat straightened up and answered seriously. As long as the captain was involved, he would not dare to deny it.

The captain laughed loudly as he listened to the flattery of the two capable subordinates. At this moment, he saw a woman at the corner of his eyes, and his eyes immediately lit up. Then he straightened his chest and took a deep breath, straightened his collar and cuffs, stood up and walked over with graceful footsteps.

“How should I address this beauty?” The captain asked with a smile.

The fat girl snorted softly, opened her palm-sized hand to fan the wind, and turned her back to look elsewhere. She wasn’t afraid of this vicious pirate leader at all.

The captain circled to the other side and smiled apologetically, “Sorry, I took the liberty.” The fat girl glanced sideways at him, then snorted and looked up at the ceiling.

“Young lady, did anyone ever tell you that you look particularly charming when you’re angry?” The captain flattered, and his flattering expression was very wretched.

Seeing the leader lose his integrity in front of the woman, the accountant and the first mate chatted together once in a blue moon.

Wu Congyun whispered, “This … this woman is so fat and so ugly. Tell me, boss, this is …”

“I guess he doesn’t want to spend money. He said that he never spends a penny on picking up girls. It’s all women who stick to him upside down.” The mate replied in a low voice.

Wu Congyun sighed, “Why am I following such a person?”

“You mean the boss is wrong? Alright, I’ll tell the boss in a moment to see how he will deal with you.” “You” The alliance between the two of them collapsed and shattered in less than ten seconds.

After a while, amidst the noises of the sailors, the owner of the bar carried an entire roasted pig and came out from the kitchen with his head held high. The bar instantly quieted down. Everyone’s gaze was focused on the boss, as if a big shot had appeared on the stage. The boss knew that at this moment, he was supreme in the eyes of these pirates. Of course, after a while, they would forget who he was. What is it …

Under everyone’s gaze, the boss put the roasted pig on the shelf and handed over a sharp knife, asking the captain of the Fishdragon to share the meat. At this time, the captain would say a few words to summarize the efforts and harvests of this period of time.

“Thank you … thank you …” The captain held the knife in one hand and the fat girl in the other (he had secretly stuffed a silver coin in the other), unable to remember what to say.

“Poseidon.” Accountant whispered.

“Thank you Poseidon for bestowing us … Hmm? Why should I thank him? Thank you to me, too! I won a sumptuous dinner for myself!” The pirate leader raised his arm excitedly and shouted loudly! The knife in his hand almost cut the bar owner’s neck.

“Thank you, boss!” “Long live Xia Tou.” “Thank you, boss, for giving us delicious food!” “The head is a god!” Everyone was chanting slogans in a mess. In order to eat meat quickly, they could say anything.

Just like that, the pirates’ carnival dinner started …

At this time, the downstairs was noisy, but the upstairs was quiet.

An hour ago, the traveler pushed the motorcycle into the guest room. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately inspected the surroundings and set up small alarm traps in the seams, windows, and other places. Then he took out the quilt in the cabinet, rolled it into strips, and covered it with a blanket, creating the illusion that someone was sleeping on the bed.

After doing all this, the traveller turned off the lights and curled up in a corner to rest. At this moment, a mechanically synthesized young girl’s voice suddenly sounded out from the darkness.

[Captain, Alice can keep vigil for you all day long. Please rest assured. ]

“Yes.” The traveller stretched and lifted his robe, revealing a young face. This traveller is the fleeing Tie Zha. A month and a half ago, he killed the Fourth Young Master of the Lei Ling Clan in Silver City No. 13 and fled northward. Currently, the entire Northern Wilderness Continent was offering a reward for his head, and the reward was even more than a thousand gold coins. Therefore, he was always careful to avoid being discovered wherever he went.

[After this period of data collection, the captain’s combat strength assessment has been completed. Alice requests a report. ]

“Speak, but keep your voice down.”

[Yes, my captain]

[All important data will be displayed directly on the screen, bypassing the voice description]

As soon as he finished speaking, the main screen on the front of the car lit up, and rows of data were displayed on it …
