The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 136 Xiaomei Xiaomei
Bionic teardrops are not considered complete lives in the strict sense, they can only be called life-like entities.

In addition, the body structure is special, so it can be put into the equipment slot.

Li Ang wanted to try to tame it to work for him.

Although its IQ is worrying and its strength is mediocre (60% damage), with its ability to imitate one hand and its rough skin and thick flesh (3.6 times the blood volume), it should be more than enough to serve as a human shield to attract monsters.

You must attack the minion with taunt first.

Without the bionic teardrops blocking their way, Li Ang and Melina passed through the temple smoothly and came to a long, wide straight road.

Looking to the northeast from this position, you can see the Blood Dynasty on the top of the mountain.

"That's what you came here for?" Melina asked.

Li Ang, who was thinking about how to get over, came back to his senses: "One of them."

Melina closed her eyes and was silent for a moment, then said: "I sensed the breath of the magic barrier, which is difficult to get close to through normal means."

Li Ang was not surprised. With Meng's chicken thief's character, how could he let people approach his lair casually?

"Then try another abnormal way."

Seeing his vow, Melina was inexplicably frustrated: "You don't seem to need anyone's help, because you always have a way."

"Manpower is limited and beyond our capabilities." Li Ang withdrew his gaze from afar and looked at her: "Just like just now, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have foolishly hit the magic barrier."

Melina's eyes flashed, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly: "You are not stupid at all."

"But he's not very smart either." After Li Ang finished speaking, he left the straight road through the gap on the side and stepped onto a forest land.

This place is called the Ancestral Forest, and there lives a group of races that are completely different from the Knox people:
The people of the ancestral spirit.

They advocate nature and love peace, wear rough leather rags, and reject all metal products. Female priests are decorated with antlers on their heads, and male warriors are decorated with horns.

They can be roughly understood as druids who cannot shapeshift.

The people of the Ancestral Spirits were once allies with the Noxians and helped build another eternal city: Nox Stella.

Later, Nokstra was taken over by the Red Corruption, and one of the ancestral people was forced to migrate to Nokron.

They often use long and melodious tunes to praise the ancestral spirits they believe in.

So before I saw them, I had already heard their voices.

Melina listened attentively, she liked this feeling of vitality in all things, which would calm the impatient mind.

"It's much better than what some people sing."

Li Ang expressed dissatisfaction: "That's not what you said when you accepted my flowers."

"The little yellow flower of the story." Melina couldn't help humming: "Although I don't want to admit it, this song is not bad."

The two were joking when an unfamiliar voice sounded above their heads.

"Stop, take one more step forward, and I'm going to shoot!"

Li Ang looked up at the rock next to him, where stood an ancestral warrior with horns on his head and gray skin.

He was wearing a fur vest, revealing two thick arms, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at Li Ang, who looked more threatening.

Although the people of Ancestor Spirit are peace-loving, they still remain vigilant against sudden intruders.

Especially the only interloper in hundreds of years.

Li Ang smiled kindly and said: "Don't be impatient. My friend I have never met before. My partner and I are traveling merchants from the ground. We came to see if there is any business to be done here."

Melina gave him a look, meaning what nonsense are you talking about.

After hearing this, the ancestral spirit warrior subconsciously put down the bow and arrow in his hand, but immediately raised it again: "How do I know whether your words are true or false?"

Li Ang pulled the small piece of wood standing half a meter away in front of him.

"She can prove it."

Melina knew that now was not the time to be angry with him, so she reluctantly said, "Yes."

"It's too difficult to do business on the ground. It just so happened that the meteorite opened the way to the underground. Let's try our luck."

Li Ang answered: "Wherever you can make money, we will be there."

The two sang in harmony to scare the ancestral spirit warrior. After hesitating for a moment, he thought of a good idea: "You guys wait here, I will notify the priest to handle it!"

"If you dare to move, the King of Ancestral Spirits will punish you!"

After that, the sturdy figure disappeared behind the rock.

Melina was a little surprised: "You believe it so easily?"

Li Ang said matter-of-factly: "Living in such a closed place, it is normal for the people to be simple and simple. And they, a race that believes in nature, rarely lie. Over time, they think that people all over the world are the same as them."

Melina couldn't help but feel a little disgust in her eyes when she looked at him.

"It's useless to look at me." Li Ang put his arm around her shoulders affectionately: "You are also an accomplice, my dear partner."

Melina pushed the man away with an indifferent expression.

She has always refused anyone to have physical contact with her in any form.

Li Ang didn't care either, he still looked contented with himself.

After waiting for a while, the ancestral spirit warrior returned. Seeing that the two of them had not moved, he was very satisfied, so he even spoke with a much better attitude: "Come on, the priest is waiting for you."

Follow the warrior to an altar made of rocks. There are a group of small animals sitting or lying on it, surrounding the ancestral priest in the middle.

The priest is a woman with big hands and feet, and looks stronger than a warrior. She wears a glowing antler ribbon, holds the skull of an unknown creature in her arms, and spreads the ancestral spirit to the surrounding animals in a gentle tone.

Animals have the most sensitive senses. When they sense an outsider approaching, they immediately run away.

The priest did not stop them, watching them leave, and then slowly turned his attention to the two of them.

"Explain your reasons for coming, outsiders."

Li Ang pretended to hold his chest and bowed: "Dear priest, we are business travelers passing by, and we want to do some small business in exchange for things."

Melina stood beside him silently, silently acting as her bodyguard.

The priest is not as easy to deceive as the warrior, and does not think what Li Ang is telling the truth, but she does not show hostility, so there is no need to break up, which is not good for anyone.

"You must have seen that our tribe is not rich. I wonder what you want to change?"

Li Ang always maintained a decent smile: "Of course they are the specialties of the precious land, such as the ornaments on the heads of you and your tribe."

As a result, before the priest could say anything, the warriors became anxious. The headdress was a symbol of their ancestral clan. How could it be exchanged as a commodity?

"Impossible, we won't agree! Leave quickly, you are not welcome here!"

Li Ang turned a blind eye and looked at the person who could really make the decision.

The priest first said: "A unique request." After a pause, he continued: "It's not impossible, but you have to come up with something valuable enough."

Although the horned headdress is a symbol of the ancestral spirit clan, it is not that important.

Countless things have been lost or damaged due to various reasons over the years, and they don't feel any pity.

What's more, now someone is offering something in exchange.

"I guarantee you will be satisfied with my things." Li Ang blew the whistle on his finger and called out Toret.

There is a storage bag on the horse's back, which contains some relatively unimportant items.

The priest looked at Li Ang, who was taking something from Toret, with a flash of surprise on his face. Ordinary people could not get the recognition of the spirit horse.

And Toret's closeness to Melina was also noticed by her.

This girl is also not simple.

The priest was glad that he had always been kind to the two of them and was not as impulsive as his soldiers. Their small tribe could not withstand the torment.

On the other side, Li Ang has prepared his 'sincerity'.

Mainly various dried fruits, plant seeds, and precious dragon skin, dragon meat, and dragon heart.

Ever since he got Torret, a greedy horse, he has developed the habit of collecting fruits and seeds. They are all species on the ground and should be rare underground.

As for the dragon mess, it came from a five-day search operation.

There were many flying dragons in the Galede area. The Zunfus killed a few of them together, and then gave part of the trophies to Li Ang, no matter what. "Are these things valuable?"

The ancestral spirit priest looked at the dragon heart with barbs and scales on its surface, his eyes gleaming: "Of course it counts!"

Then she personally took off the antlers headdress on her head: "Give me the dragon heart, it's yours!"

Li Ang raised his chin towards Melina next to him and said nothing.

The priest understood instantly and ordered his soldiers: "Go and get another bald-horned headband, the brightest one! By the way, call other tribesmen over to see if they have anything they want to exchange with this kind businessman."

While waiting, she pointed at the lumpy dragon skin.

"I want the skin too. I'll trade this with you."

As he spoke, the priest took out a curved animal horn with a blue-purple top and several buds growing out of it, like a bamboo shoot that had just broken through the ground.

"The Sanity Corner, it can help you resist the whispers of some terrifying existences."

When Li Ang heard this, he realized that this effect was tailor-made for Malenia and could be given to her as a gift. After all, she had given him the Chiroptera amulet.

Unexpectedly, the priest thought he was hesitating, gritted his teeth, and took out something else.

It is still an animal horn, with the top branching like a branch, and the color is very rich.

"The colorful necklace has the same effect as the previous one. It can also make you stronger and less sick."

Li Ang thought about what else to consider, and nodded in agreement.

Dragon heart + dragon skin are exchanged for two talismans + two headdresses. Both parties feel that they are not at a loss.

Not long after, the ancestral spirit warrior returned with a large number of clan members.

After Li Ang observed, he found that there were only two priests in the entire tribe, that is, women, and the rest were all male warriors. The reproduction situation was worrying.

Unfortunately he couldn't be of much help.

I had no choice but to concentrate on the promising work of exchanging things for things.

In less than half an hour, all the things that were taken out were replaced. Several ancestral warriors worked together to exchange the horns on their heads for dragon meat. The dried fruits and seeds were also looted and turned into unique underground plants.

Torrett was very happy about this, and it was blessed again.

When Li Ang packed up his things and was about to leave, some of the ancestors who had not changed their things were reluctant to leave and asked him when he would come back next time.

"Next time, be sure to save any good things for me!"

The people of the ancestral spirit agreed wholeheartedly.

It's just that they didn't wait for Li Ang to come again in the end. Instead, what they waited for was a swarm of faded ones, but that's all for another day.

Leaving the ancestral altar, the two of them explored westward.

On the way, Li Ang stopped Melina, who was walking in front holding Toret.

"what?"

Under her doubtful gaze, Li Ang took off her hood, replaced it with an antler headdress that emitted a little blue light, and then put the other one on his head.

He touched his chin and admired it for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go!"

Looking at the man wearing the same antlers as herself, Melina's face felt slightly hot and she said duplicitously: "I'm sick."

"You have spent a long time in exchange for two useless headdresses, and you are completely hopeless!"

Li Ang laughed twice and continued on his way leisurely.

Torrett came to join in the fun at this time and rubbed his arm with his head, meaning he would give me one too!
Li Ang spread his hands: "No, do you want the one with the horns?"

Torrett immediately lost interest. The bull had its own horns.

So he decisively chose to abandon his master and turned around to please Melina, hoping that she would help him get a few fruits from his backpack to eat.

Unexpectedly, Melina, who had cared for it in every possible way in the past, didn't know what happened today. She kept her head down and walked forward silently, ignoring it at all.

The depressed Thoret swung his tail and followed dejectedly.

"What are you thinking about? Look at the road!" Li Ang grabbed the small piece of wood that almost fell off the cliff.

Melina raised her head and realized that there was no road ahead. Instead, there was a deep pit. In the dim pit was a pile of gray-black towering buildings.

"The Realm of Dark Night, the residence prepared by Knox for his future king." Li Ang stood side by side with her.

Melina rubbed her eyebrows: "Thank you for your explanation, but can you let go of my hand first."

"No!" Li Ang said righteously: "I'm afraid you'll fall."

Melina took two steps back: "Not now."

"I'm afraid I'll fall." Li Ang took half a step forward and stood on the edge of the cliff.

Melina chuckled and said, "The same trick won't work the second time."

She was talking about the time Celia hid in the cave.

"Oh, really?" Li Ang let go of her hand, turned around and jumped down.

Melina's expression changed instantly and she hurried forward to check.

As a result, she saw Li Ang standing on the eaves only a few meters away from the cliff, looking at her with a smile.

"Come down, I'll catch you."

Melina breathed a sigh of relief and cursed viciously: "Why didn't I throw you to death?"

Torrett, who was behind her, moved forward, as if he was eager to jump.

It likes dancing and dancing the most.

"The same virtue as your master!" Melina scolded it angrily.

Torrett snorted angrily and then hit him on the head.

Melina felt an unexpected push from behind, causing her body to fall forward uncontrollably.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Li Ang quickly caught the falling log.

With Nephrite in his arms, he couldn't help but praise: "Well done, my good horse, I'll give you extra food later!"

Torret shook his head, showing off.

"Put me down." Melina said with a hint of coldness in her tone.

Li Ang was not afraid at all: "The eaves are very slippery, it's safer to hold on tight."

He did not lie, because the humid environment caused a lot of moisture and moss on the eaves, and it might fall down if you were not careful.

"Put me down." Melina repeated, "I'm going back."

"Look at you, you're in a hurry." Li Ang slowly put her down: "Don't blame me if she falls later."

"It's not your fault." Melina straightened the cloak behind her to prevent it from being stepped on: "You said you would catch me."

Li Ang was speechless.

Afterwards, Thoret also jumped down, and the originally spacious eaves immediately became crowded.

The distance between Leon and Melina was forced to close again.

Smelling the fragrant fragrance wafting from Xiaomu's body, he pretended to criticize: "Eat less in the future, let's see how fat you have become!"

Toret looked at his owner aggrievedly. He was a spirit body and would never gain weight no matter how much he ate.

"Forget it, you should go back for a while." Li Ang crossed the river and demolished the bridge, put the spirit horse back into the whistle, and then took the hand of the girl next to him very naturally: "It is indeed much more spacious, let's go."

Melina looked at him indifferently and raised her hand.

Li Ang didn't feel embarrassed at all and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm used to it."

"Have you held the hands of many girls?" Melina grasped the key point keenly. The light from the deer's antler headband became more and more dazzling, complementing the stars above her head.

Suddenly, Li Ang seemed to see the Death Star.
