12dz Chapter 196 Scratch-Off
Chapter 196 Scratch-Off
(Attention! Attention! This chapter contains a warning about the Tamutuo Squad's scratch-off lottery tickets.)
Upon hearing Fatty Wang's voice, everyone looked towards the cliff face ahead.
There are about a hundred moss-covered grottoes scattered on the cliff face. The grottoes, which vary in size, are not deeply carved, and the statues inside are also completely covered by moss.
Pan Zi drew his dagger, chose a nearby grotto, and carefully scraped away the moss.
A grotesque human-faced bird statue appeared before the crowd.
The human-faced bird statue has a wide-open mouth full of sharp teeth, as if it is emitting a sharp cry. Inside that wide-open mouth is a monkey curled up, looking as if it is ready to pounce at any moment.
Fatty Wang frowned in disgust.
"Da Pan, your luck is terrible. More than a hundred blind boxes, did you open the ugliest one?"
Wu Xie nodded in agreement. This was much uglier than the human-faced bird with a skull on its feet that he had drawn in his notebook. How come Pan Zi's luck was even worse than mine?
Pan Zi wasn't angry when he heard this. He had felt a little uneasy when he first saw the ferocious statue, but after being teased by Fatty Wang, he relaxed and couldn't help but show a silly smile.
"How about we..." Fatty Wang's eyes darted around, unable to resist a playful urge. "Each of us can drive one, and see whose is the ugliest?"
Aning: No, is this person crazy? Who would want to play such a boring and childish game...?
"Great! Great! Great!!!" Su Li was the first to respond, becoming a ruthless cheerleader.
"Since there's a winner and a loser, we should at least have a little prize. How about the loser pays for today's meals?" Black Bear, always eager for a good show, grinned with a mischievous grin.
Xie Yuchen and Zhang Qiling looked at the troublemaker, Hei Xiazi, with expressions that said...
Are you serious???
"Swish..." Ah Ning pulled out a dagger, carefully choosing the ugliest one, not wanting that kitchen killer to poison her mouth.
Wu Xie patted Pan Zi on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Pan Zi, I'll definitely choose an even uglier one."
Panzi looked at the ugly thing in front of him. He shouldn't have stepped forward; he was probably going to be at the bottom of the list. He didn't want to be the cook! Could he choose another one?!
When Wu Xie summoned that human-faced bird statue standing on five skulls once again, he could only awkwardly say...
"We're quite destined to meet, aren't we..."
It happened both times, so why didn't you write it in more detail in your notes? Ideally, you could specify the row and position, size, characteristics, etc. (=tェt=)
Then Xie Yuchen, the Fatty Wang, summoned two elegant statues that appeared to be in flight...
Wait...aren't these things supposed to be mainly for intimidation? How come some of them are good-looking? Did the craftsman who sculpted these two have some kind of filter for that ugly human-faced bird?
"Huh? Why is this bird eating worms?" Su Li looked at the bird-faced creature she had just scraped out, which was standing on one leg and had one claw gripping a wriggling worm-like object. Her face turned green.
Eating insects and stuff...
yue……
A blank stare. "Isn't it normal for birds to eat worms? As the old saying goes, the early bird catches the worm."
Fatty Wang chimed in, "The early bird catches the worm."
The two exchanged a smile and gave each other a high five in unison.
Black Bear leaned closer to Su Li and took a closer look.
"Ah, it is indeed a worm, but a long worm."
Zuli: ? ? ? ? ?
"Snake." (From a mute online translator)
Ah~~~
This thing eats snakes...
“Eating snakes is nothing, it even eats people~~” Black Bear whispered in Su Li’s ear.
Zurich: ...
Is there anyone here who doesn't know?
"Get out of here, go drive your own car."
Ah Ning carefully selected for a long time, but unexpectedly, what she found was a human-faced bird carved in a very proper, solemn and dignified manner.
Zhang Qiling then summoned a baby human-faced bird, curled up in a ball with its eyes closed, resting...
Looking at Zhang Qiling's eyes, he probably still thought the little thing was quite cute...
As their last hope, everyone turned their attention to Hei Xiazi.
It was all this guy's crazy suggestion, oh no... they're probably going to have a gunpowder feast tonight.
Undeterred by the gazes of the crowd, Hei Xiazi twirled his black and gold dagger and headed toward the cave he had chosen.
"Let's vote..." Xie Yuchen said, relieved as he looked at the human-faced bird that Hei Xiazi had summoned.
The seven people simultaneously pointed at the bird with the human face that was grabbing a person and biting at their neck. The bird's mouth was filled with a monkey that had jumped onto the stone statue's eye, as if it was gouging out the person's eyes...
Judging from the expression on the stone sculpture, this person should still be alive...
Aside from the seven people pointing to the human-faced bird, Su Li resolutely chose the human-faced bird he himself had drawn, the one clutching a long worm...
Even a worm is still a worm, and Little Wood hates all worms. A name containing the character for worm is still a worm.
A long, thin creature, scientifically known as a snake but also called a worm: Don't be ridiculous!!!
In the final vote, Hei Xiazi defeated Su Xiaoli 7-1, a perfect ending...
The group, still pointing at the grotto, looked at each other. Suddenly, someone started laughing, and everyone burst into laughter as if their funny bone had been tickled...
It felt like all the little animals lurking around were scared away by their laughter...
Even Zhang Qiling couldn't help but smile.
I mean, why did I suddenly start playing this kind of game?
What's going on with this absurd and intoxicating thing?
"Hahahaha... Next time, next time let's buy some scratch cards, and cook with the lowest number... Hahahaha..."
Fatty Wang chuckled as he spoke...
The master and apprentice duo, who have never won at mahjong: seem not really interested in playing...
Having decided on the chef for the evening, the group, who had been delayed for half a day, finally crossed the cliff face that marked their official entry into the territory of the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom and headed deeper into the rainforest.
I don't know how long we walked, but all I could hear were Panzi and Aning's heavy breathing. It seemed that the two of them had reached their physical limit.
They hadn't expected that the two of them, who had the most experience in working on the ground, would be the ones dragging the team down the most. But thinking about it, it made sense. Ordinary people like them shouldn't compare themselves to those who were into cultivating immortality.
Ahead was a forest of many thick, large trees with dense canopies covered in layers of intertwined vines. One tree had vines that seemed quite sensible, having created a perfect shelter for themselves.
"Let's rest for a bit up ahead," Panzi said, looking at the natural shelter in front of them.
Wu Xie squinted; this place looked vaguely familiar!
"Hey buddy, look ahead, something looks like I've seen it somewhere before..."
