I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1351 - 962: This World Is Really Unlucky (2)
Not long after, Tanshia Firlo came running back: "Fosterer, when are we having the barbecue?"
"If you’re hungry, we can eat now." Zheng Yichen waved his hand, dismissing the screen that the Illusory Eye had revealed.
"Yay!"
Zheng Yichen rented a barbecue grill from nearby. The activity level around North Lake was high, and besides regular tourists, you could also see the likes of Dusk mercenaries.
However, not all of these Dusk mercenaries were here to relax and vacation; some were specifically here at North Lake to treasure hunt.
The southern forest side can be searched for treasures, not to mention the North Lake side, but everything here has been rummaged through once by Zheng Yichen, so there aren’t many good things to find.
Watching Tanshia Firlo drinking divine wine like water, Zheng Yichen tapped her on the head: "Why do you crave this so much?"
"I like this dizzy feeling." Tanshia Firlo grinned foolishly while grabbing a freshly grilled skewer, not caring at all about maintaining the ’little Goddess’ image in the eyes of other kids, eating up the skewer of grilled meat cleanly.
Among the three here, Tanshia Firlo’s appetite was only second to Zheng Yichen’s; Katrina’s appetite was quite small.
After eating a little, she took on what Zheng Yichen was doing, focusing on grilling meat, while Tanshia Firlo joyfully raised the cup in her hand, and Zheng Yichen shook his head.
If it weren’t for Lilith’s cover, others would think she was just drinking a normal beverage; otherwise, someone might’ve reported it already.
That would be troublesome.
Crack—a faint sound was heard.
Zheng Yichen put down the skewer in hand and looked up at the sky; the sound was abrupt and discordant, and no one playing here at North Lake Beach seemed to have heard it.
"What’s wrong, Fosterer?" Tanshia Firlo, puzzled, looked at Zheng Yichen, whose expression had suddenly lost its smile.
"I heard a strange sound... something’s wrong." Zheng Yichen looked in the direction the sound came from. He’d seen many Phenomena and heard strange noises, but this time the source seemed unusually irregular, as if from far away or perhaps very near.
"Is it yet another phenomenon invasion?" Tanshia Firlo’s pupils turned vertical, feeling a bit angry. Today, they had run around many places with Zheng Yichen, and finally, got to relax and eat here, only for someone to cause trouble again?
"You guys keep eating, I’ll go take a look." Zheng Yichen set aside the skewer and left the beach.
"..." Tanshia Firlo rested her chin with a look of displeasure: "Fosterer clearly doesn’t need to manage these things; this isn’t his territory."
Zheng Yichen didn’t intend to claim Hazy City as his domain; Tanshia Firlo thought it was quite meddlesome.
"But this is the city he lives in, and it’s not so bad, is it?" Katrina said with a smile next to her; she didn’t share Tanshia Firlo’s opinion.
After all, Zheng Yichen was a heroic figure; wasn’t it rather normal for him to do such things?
"Hmph~ human thoughts..." Tanshia Firlo muttered: "It might be better to go over to the City of Peace, where nothing happens, no one causes trouble, and apart from plenty of Phenomena, there’s no merit here."
Technological advantage? Once magic has developed to a certain extent, technology is no longer an advantage.
Glancing at the kids playing nearby, she snorted lightly, noticing that once Zheng Yichen, the beach muscle man, wasn’t there, some kids were tempted to come over.
Tanshia Firlo didn’t want to play with those brats at all, so when they seemed to be coming over, she slightly bared her teeth, revealing dragon-transformed fangs, and let a hint of Dragon’s Might seep out.
The kids who wanted to come over immediately stopped, running back to their parents crying.
"Humph~" Watching as she successfully repelled a wave of disturbance, Tanshia Firlo smugly lifted the corners of her mouth, taking a big sip of divine wine, then asked Katrina: "Wanna try this?"
"I’ll pass on the wine." Katrina declined with a smile; if it were privately at home, having a drink with Zheng Yichen would be fine, just to make things more festive for what’s to come.
But outside, she wouldn’t touch any alcohol.
She changed the subject: "You seem to dislike those kids?"
"Hmph, with their age, they have a lot on their minds; even at a young age, they start asking for my contact details, little perverts, living too well."
Tanshia Firlo snorted. Saying in those ancient environments how pure kids were could have been true, but in this technological world, youngsters have access to quite a lot of internet information.
Some remain pure, but most know what they should at an early age. To her, this was just idleness; if they spent a little time mixed into the battlefield of Blood, they’d have less on their minds.
As for human cubs being too fragile? Sorry, she equates it with dragons; young dragons can have some combat prowess as soon as they break out of their shells, even capable of life-or-death battles.
The difference in species meant she could never play with normal human kids.
If Zheng Yichen transformed using Life type strength into a state of a child, she’d be extremely delighted to play all kinds of children’s games with Zheng Yichen, even the simplest building blocks.
Katrina smiled somewhat helplessly; some of those kids wanting to play with Tanshia Firlo included little girls, but her attitude in this regard was impartial.
She wasn’t interested in little boys or girls of the human race, even in such public play areas.
Watching the small white dragon gobbling grilled meat a little indignantly, Katrina picked up a small knife, slicing new pieces of meat from the ice-cooled ingredient box beside her.
While roasting the meat again, she looked a bit worriedly in the direction Zheng Yichen had left.
"The Illusory Eye can let you see what he’s doing." Tanshia Firlo spoke with her mouth stuffed so full words came out somewhat indistinctly.
"Ah, I almost forgot about that." Katrina nodded in sudden realization, promptly activating the Illusory Eye, and indeed, saw Zheng Yichen’s Illusory Eye was in ’online’ mode.
Through this Illusory Eye connection, she could sync with Zheng Yichen over there, directly seeing the ’visuals’ he was seeing.
Once synced, Katrina first saw the distorted scenery rapidly moving backward; Zheng Yichen’s location was sky-bound, seemingly about to break through the atmosphere... no, it had already broken through.
When Zheng Yichen came to a stop, he could see the planet beneath his feet.
A city shrouded in mist was particularly conspicuous.
Katrina couldn’t help but glance at Tanshia Firlo: "Was reaching space this easy?"
"Ah~ of course it’s easy; back in the Savage World, the Fosterer easily crossed a vast river, so what’s flying into space?"
She’d seen part of Zheng Yichen’s inner Heaven and Earth mental image, but unfortunately, its power was significantly reduced in reality, or he could squeeze an entire Star System into it.
Speaking, the small white dragon surreptitiously glanced left and right, poking a finger into the charcoal fire used for grilling meat, which suddenly intensified. The meat, not yet cooked, quickly became fully cooked in this intensified flame.
She rubbed her smooth fingers, completely unbothered by the meat’s temperature, shoving it into her mouth with a look of contentment.
Yet that look didn’t last long before she opened her eyes wide, filled with fighting spirit: "My chance to shine has arrived, let’s head home quickly!!"
She hastily devoured the remaining grilled meat, stood up, and pulled Katrina’s wrist as if she were an eager child asking her mother for a new toy.
"What’s happened?" Though a bit puzzled, Katrina quickly contacted nearby staff; with an emergency at hand, she left the remaining ingredients behind and didn’t withdraw the deposit.
After a perfunctory change at a dressing room with Tanshia Firlo, they left North Lake. Through the Illusory Eye’s synchronized vision, she saw some black cracks.
And after Tanshia Firlo saw those, she was instantly thrilled, eager to master teleportation home.
She couldn’t perform teleportation, but taking out Lilith’s real body from the pocket space, she sweetly addressed her as sister Lilith.
After hopping on, Tanshia Firlo explained: "There are invaders coming, ah, this world is so unlucky!"
