Big Fat Raccoon Cat is Very Worried About You, Offers to Help You Become Stronger-Chapter 309: Interesting
Chapter 309: Interesting
“Let me tell you about it, so you won’t think I’m lying to you.” Li Li said, and told the other party about his plan to get rich.
The more Long Nü listened, the more astonished she became. She couldn’t believe that the other party could think of such an absurd method to sell these skeletons.
He was truly a genius among merchants. She had never thought of such a thing. What if the Skeleton Kings found out? They would probably be so angry that their heads would explode.
It seemed that when it came to being inhuman, the other party was indeed more proficient.
“So how about it? Do you still think you can do it?” Li Li asked. The other party’s subordinates were all a bunch of violent guys. In her situation, could she even catch these skeletons?
From his perspective, it seemed very difficult. These guys wanted to catch skeletons? They were more likely to be eaten.
“It might be a little troublesome, but if we work hard, it shouldn’t be a problem,” Long Nü said after careful consideration. She was reluctant to give up on this money-making scheme.
After all, the skeletons that were originally treated like garbage were no longer garbage, but a pile of Comprehensive Network Coins.
Seeing these Comprehensive Network Coins slip away from her hands was like having her flesh cut off.
“Then good luck to you.” Li Li shrugged. If the other party wanted to do it, then let them do it. It wasn’t certain that they would succeed. Maybe after they suffered a bit, they would become more rational.
These skeletons were not so easy to catch, especially since the other party’s subordinates were a bunch of brutes.
“Okay, then I’ll go and tell my subordinates.” Long Nü nodded, and walked away.
“Captain Cat Cat, are you sure it’s okay to tell her about this money-making scheme? What if she competes with us?” Xiong Guang asked after seeing Long Nü leave.
Although they were stronger, they were outnumbered.
Wasn’t Captain Cat Cat afraid that the other party would directly snatch it from them?
Hearing this, Li Li shook his head:
“There’s nothing to worry about. There are so many skeletons, we can’t possibly catch them all, can we? Sometimes giving up the benefits in your hands and letting others share the risk is the wise choice.”
“I see, Captain Cat Cat, you’ve really thought this through.” Xiong Guang said admiringly.
“Of course, if I didn’t have this ability, how could I have come up with such a good idea?” Li Li said smugly, looking at Long Nü, who was instructing her subordinates.
It had to be said that having subordinates was still beneficial. Otherwise, with such a large team, he wouldn’t be able to manage it all by himself.
“Your Majesty, are we really going to capture those skeletons alive?” The troll couldn’t help but ask. How could they catch those skeletons with their thin arms and legs?
They would shatter with a touch, wouldn’t they? Wanting to catch them alive was a bit difficult.
“Of course. If we break those skeletons, we won’t get anything. If we can capture them alive, at least we can recover some of the losses.”
“Moreover, if those skeletons are broken and not dealt with in time, there is a risk of new undead being born. Since we’re going to do it, we have to do it well and nip all possible dangers in the bud.” Long Nü said to her subordinates.
“Yes! Your Majesty.” The monsters replied, and continued forward.
At the same time, they were still thinking about how much force they should use so as not to break the damn skeletons and incur the Queen’s wrath.
“Whoosh whoosh”
“Whoosh whoosh”
As they walked further, the surrounding scenery began to change noticeably, becoming somewhat eerie and terrifying.
The occasional gusts of gloomy wind made them feel like they had arrived at a place with a huge air conditioner running.
“This place feels quite interesting. I wonder how much air conditioning costs we could save if we opened a hotel here?” Li Li couldn’t help but say, looking at the monster army that was kicking up dust all over the ground, and then at the surroundings.
He had to admit that although it was a bit chilly here, the environment was indeed good. If they could open a hotel in such a place, the air conditioning costs they could save in the summer would not be a small sum.
“Well, it’s indeed very cool here in the summer, but in the winter, it’s freezing cold. Are you sure this is really a suitable place to live, Captain Cat Cat?” Xiong Guang couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, and the Yin Qi is so heavy here, ordinary people would definitely not be able to stand it if they lived here for a long time.” Feng Ru Xue nodded in agreement.
Being so close to these corpses was not a good thing. After all, martial artists could still endure it with their strong physique, but ordinary people did not have this ability.
“And most importantly, who would be so full of themselves that they would run to such a place instead of a good one? Aren’t they just sick in the head?” Yue Tu couldn’t help but say.
This place was desolate, who would come here if they were full? Besides being sick in the head, she really couldn’t think of a third possibility.
“You can’t say for sure. Maybe they came here to see the skeletons? After all, there are people who like to watch the fun everywhere. Coming here to see the skeletons is also normal. After all, this thing doesn’t exist anywhere else.” Li Li said after hearing everyone’s words. Maybe skeletons were a rare species here? Maybe some people wanted to come and see what they looked like.
“Do you think there are people who are so full and have nothing to do that they’re bored to this extent? Coming here to see skeletons? That’s clearly just asking to be added to their menu.” Hong Fu scolded angrily.
“Yeah, this kind of guy is looking for death, no matter how you look at it. Coming here to see skeletons? That’s clearly just asking to be added to their menu.” Yue Tu echoed.
“Really? Then can you explain what that group of guys is doing over there?” Seeing everyone refute him, Li Li pointed to the guys in the distance.
There really was a group of guys staying in the shade of the trees. Although they had concealed their figures with magic, they couldn’t hide from his eyes. Their shallow illusion was as good as nothing in his eyes.
“Hmm?”
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the distance.
Only then did they discover a faint spatial fluctuation in the shade of the trees in the distance. They were so engrossed in their conversation that they hadn’t noticed it at all.
The group of people who were hiding became nervous after noticing Li Li and the others’ gazes.
“Teacher, it seems like someone is watching us. What should we do now? Have we been discovered?”
“Yes, Teacher, look at the group of people flying in the sky looking towards us.”
“Yes, yes.”
They just came here for an autumn outing, why did they encounter a dragon army on the march? This was simply the worst luck ever.
“Calm down, don’t panic. They’re just looking this way, they’re not doing anything else, which means we haven’t been exposed. If we jump out now, we’ll be courting death.” The man with gray hair in a black suit gripped his staff tightly and said to the golden students.
They absolutely couldn’t panic now. If they did, they would be completely finished.
Facing such a large monster army, they had no chance of leaving alive.
The only way was to pray that the other party wouldn’t see them and that they could get away safely.
But obviously, reality always went against their wishes. Just as they were thinking this, they saw the marching monster army suddenly running towards them.
The students were so scared that they started crying:
“We’re done for, they’ve seen us, we’re dead this time.”
“Yeah! Yeah!”
The teacher said that they weren’t exposed, but these guys had already rushed to their faces, hadn’t they?
“Don’t panic, don’t worry. Calm down, the situation isn’t that bad yet.”
Seeing the students crying and making a fuss, Shrek calmly said, “They didn’t take the initiative to attack us, which means there’s still room for negotiation. If you keep making such a fuss, you’ll only make them unhappy.”
“Ah?”
The crying students immediately quieted down upon hearing this, looking at their teacher with hopeful faces. They saw their teacher suddenly stand up and walk outside.
They immediately showed panicked expressions and hurriedly said, “Teacher, why are you going outside?”
“Yeah, Teacher, they might not be able to find us.”
“Since they’re looking this way, it means they definitely know we’re hiding here. If we don’t go out now, it’ll be even worse.” Shrek shook his head and smiled.
These little guys were so naive and cute. They thought that hiding here would be fine. Did they really think that the other party hadn’t discovered them?
Now, going out was the right thing to do. Otherwise, if they continued to hide, they would easily be mistaken for scouts.
“Ah?” The students were scared and hurriedly followed him out.
“You little guys are finally willing to come out? I thought you were going to keep hiding in there.” The troll who came over couldn’t help but sneer when he saw this scene.
This group of little mice was quite good at hiding. If the Queen hadn’t spoken, they really wouldn’t have noticed that there was a group of little mice hiding here.
“Hello, everyone! We didn’t mean to hide here, it’s just that your army was too scary, so we had to take shelter.” Shrek politely said to the trolls wearing heavy rattan armor.
“Of course, our army is invincible and victorious, so you little mouse still has some eyesight.”
The troll said happily after hearing this. Then he beckoned, “You little mice, come with me, the Queen wants to see you.”
“Ah!” Upon hearing this, the students behind him turned pale, subconsciously shaking their heads.
They were going to see the legendary Flame Queen? It was said that she could swallow a hundred people in one bite.
“Okay, okay.” Shrek smiled and said to the panicked students, “Calm down, don’t be so nervous. When you see Her Majesty the Flame Queen later, be honest, and I’ll do the talking.”
“Yes, yes!”
The students nodded upon hearing this, their eyes still filled with fear, but they had no choice but to follow.
“Captain Cat Cat, you’ve really put them in a tough spot. Look, they’ve been discovered.” Xiong Guang couldn’t help but say when he saw the group of people walking towards them.
“It has nothing to do with me, okay? It’s because they’re stupid. They didn’t leave in time and thought they could hide there.” Li Li muttered angrily, “Did they really think that others were so easy to fool?”
He could see these guys, how did they think that others couldn’t see them? They were still foolishly staying there, wasn’t that asking for death? They deserved to be discovered.
“That’s true, after all, others aren’t blind.” Hu Xiong nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and walked forward.
Seeing this, Li Li followed, his eyes full of curiosity. He was ready to see how things would develop next.
“Your Majesty, I’ve brought the little mice.” The troll respectfully said after bringing the group of people to Long Nü.
“Okay.” Long Nü, who was sitting on the webbed seat, heard this and glanced at Shrek and the others, saying, “Little mice, what are you doing hiding there? You should give me an explanation, otherwise, I’ll have to take it out on you little guys.”
“Mighty Flame Queen, please give me some time to explain, this encounter was entirely a misunderstanding.” Shrek hurriedly bowed and said.
“Oh? A misunderstanding? Then you little mouse should tell me where the misunderstanding is.” Long Nü said with a smile, playing with flames in her hand.
“Yes!” Shrek nodded upon hearing this, secretly relieved. Then he explained the whole story.
“So you little guys came here to play? That’s really interesting. You could have gone anywhere, but you came here.” Long Nü said with a playful look in her eyes as she sized them up.
Seeing this, Shrek couldn’t help but tremble, but he still mustered up his courage and said:
“I know this sounds absurd, but it’s the truth. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of my students’ ignorance, please spare us.”
“Spare you? That might be a bit difficult. You know, I’m on my way to the Skeleton Kingdom. What if you spread the word about what’s going on here?”
“What if the Skeleton Kingdom is prepared and we lose our advantage?” Long Nü said with a smile, burning flames in her hand.
Seeing this, everyone’s faces changed slightly, and their legs couldn’t help but tremble.
“I wonder what Your Majesty intends to do with us?” Shrek didn’t lose his composure upon hearing this, but instead straightened his clothes and asked.
“It’s very simple, go to the Skeleton Kingdom with us.” Long Nü said with a smile, “This way, not only will it prevent you from spreading the news and exposing our marching plans, but you’ll also have a guarantee along the way, won’t you? Anyway, you little guys are going to see the skeletons, so you might as well come with us.”
“Ah!”
Upon hearing this, the students’ faces changed drastically, and they subconsciously shook their heads.
Going to the Skeleton Kingdom? Wouldn’t that be entering the skeletons’ lair? Would they still be safe then?
At this moment, Shrek spoke:
“No problem, we’ll do as Your Majesty says.”
“What!”
The group of people who were trembling in fear were shocked when they heard this.
Why did the teacher agree? If they really went with them, they would definitely die.
“Since you’re willing to come with us, that’s easy. Take them down there and don’t let them run around.” Long Nü smiled and said to the troll beside her.
“Yes! Your Majesty.” The troll nodded upon hearing this, and said to the group of people, “Come with me, I’ll take you to the back. Remember, don’t run around, otherwise, if you’re discovered, you won’t have a good time.”
“Okay, I understand. I’ll keep them in check and not let them run around. Please lead the way, Mr. Troll.” Shrek said politely.
“Hmm, this human is quite polite. Not bad, not bad.” The troll couldn’t help but nod upon hearing this, and led the group of people to the back.
Not long after, they saw Xiong Guang and the others watching the commotion from the side, and their faces showed mixed expressions.
Shrek, on the other hand, appeared much more enthusiastic when he saw them. He directly greeted them:
“Are you all also invited here by Her Majesty? I am Shrek, a magic teacher from the Holy Academy, and these are my students.”
“We can help each other on our journey.”
Being in such a dangerous place, if there was no one to help them, in their situation, it would definitely be very difficult. At this time, they needed allies.
And there was no better ally than fellow humans.
“No problem.” Hu Xiong responded enthusiastically when he heard this.
It seemed like these guys had misunderstood something, but wasn’t this quite interesting?
“Yes, yes.” Xiong Guang, who was beside him, also agreed.
This was getting interesting. He hoped that when these guys found out the truth, they wouldn’t cry.
“These fools are really courting death.” The troll couldn’t help but roll his eyes when he saw this scene. Did these guys think that these adults in front of them were captured like them? They were thinking too much.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly heard Li Li’s voice:
“Little guy, you can go now, just leave them here.”
“Remember, don’t tell them about us.”
“Yes! Sir.” The troll nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and said to Shrek and the others, “You guys just stay here, remember what I said, don’t wander around. Otherwise, if anything happens, you’ll be responsible for the consequences.”
“Okay, okay, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Troll. We will definitely stay here obediently.” Shrek repeatedly assured him, and the troll only left after hearing this.
After seeing the troll leave, Shrek became even more enthusiastic about getting close to Hu Xiong and the others: “How did you guys run into Her Majesty’s army? It seems like you’re not residents here, you must be from the East, right?”
“Yes, we’re from the East, and we’re here on a mission.” Hong Fu replied before Hu Xiong could answer.
The journey was too boring, it was quite fun to tease some people.
“I see, then it seems like your mission will be delayed for a while.” Shrek nodded upon hearing this. Then he glanced at Hong Fu and the others, secretly nodding in his heart.
Although he couldn’t see their strength, the fact that they could come here from the East showed that they were all experts.
If they could form an alliance with them, then their safety in the Skeleton Kingdom would be guaranteed.
“Who says it isn’t? That’s why we’re having a headache about this matter now.” Feng Ru Xue sighed and said, as if it were really the case.
Seeing this, Li Li’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch. Were these people putting on an act here?
