Vol 5 Chapter 2: monster

Ace made a lot of pickled things that smelled so foul, wiped it with hay, looked around, and left secretly.
It is night now, because going out during the day will be hurt by the sun, so he chooses to go out at night. In this year, Ace not only learned the language, but also knew the sewers nearby.
He ran through the complicated sewer for a while, and about ten minutes later, he reached a well and climbed up the top of the rock.
This is a small alley, very secluded, surrounded by some run-down bungalows, looking far away, you can see some fireworks and tall buildings nearby.
Stepping on the pavement, Ace is almost sure that this is a city of intelligent creatures. The cat walked against the wall for a while, rummaged in a garbage dump, and got a rag to wrap her head. .
After nearly a year of physical exercise, Ace's skill is relatively agile, he rushed up to the roof like a human-shaped cat, lying still.
In this world that has not yet found a way to mentally overclock, Ace also has his own way to achieve extraordinary. The way of blood, heart and fire that he created is a good possibility.
As long as he has vitality, he can achieve transcendence through this method. The only problem is that he needs to eat a lot of meat, which is impossible in the underground family.
Ace was lying on the roof, carefully observing the intelligent creatures passing by occasionally, and after many observations and comparisons, he came to a conclusion.
"The people on the ground are obviously also humans. They are no different from what we seem to be. On the contrary, they have different languages. This is the biggest problem.
Is what the adults say is true? But it is certain that sunlight can indeed harm us, and we are not suitable for living on the ground during the day. "
About half an hour passed, and Ace hurriedly crawled back to the ground along the well. He estimated that the old leader was probably still sleeping, and there should be no big problem.
Adding to the observation on the roof, Ace spent a little more than an hour. When he came back, most of the people were asleep.
He also went to the haystack and fell asleep, the crown leader opened his eyelids slightly, glanced at it casually, and continued to fall asleep.
Five days later, the adults couldn't bear Ace's struggle, and finally took Ace to the direction of the dark river.
Doyle whispered to Ace as he walked: "You used to have a high fever because of falling into the water, and it was about half a year later. It is of course a good thing that you want to help us gather food together, but you can only get some in the shallows of the river this time. Aquatic plants, at most catch some shrimps, don’t go deep into the water."
Ace nodded quickly. In fact, his idea was very simple. He would never spend time in this sewer, but this body really "sees the light to die" and can't survive in the sun for a long time. He must find a way to stimulate his blood and energy. May leave the sewer.
But stimulating blood qi is not that simple. Although the "blood qi transportation method" can continuously activate muscles and bones and gather vitality by walking, sitting and lying down, the premise is that one must be full of vitality, in other words must be in a very healthy state.
Nowadays, I often get hungry and full, and I can’t get enough nourishment at all. It would be better if it were
humans
who were thrown into the ground, at least living in cities, there are always many ways to do it.
But now it is the rat in the gutter. The entire Field family is hiding here, claiming to be real human beings, calling the people on the ground as monsters, and claiming to have "white monsters" and "iron monsters", making people more suspicious.
"There is weirdness everywhere. The most important thing for me right now is to stimulate my blood and gain the power of self-preservation the fastest."
While thinking, Ace walked slowly with the adults. They circled the sewer for a long time, and finally came to a place with the sound of gurgling water.
Doyle and others moved a large stone away from the wall. Several people were about to enter with their waists down. Suddenly they heard a murmur of noise. Doyle's expression was shocked, and he pushed a few people in. Before the stone could return to its place, he took Ace and ran quickly.
They quickly reached the riverside, which was an underground cave similar to a stalactite cave. Several people "plopped" into the water and rushed into the deep water as if they were almost killed.
Ace was caught by Doyle's hands, held it in the water, and after eating several mouthfuls of river water, he stepped aside on a flat protruding boulder in the river.
The adults looked at the river bank nervously, and Ace followed, his expression changed drastically.
Those are countless pairs of green eyes, the frightening green light is particularly terrifying in the dark, and the murmur of voices are exactly the sounds of their movement.
There was also a creaking sound, as if an animal was grinding its teeth, making Ace even more creepy, and couldn't help asking, "What is this?"
Doyle slammed his mouth hard, motioned not to speak, and a few people waited quietly. The lonely stone stalactite cave only had dense green eyes. About half an hour later, there was another murmur. The voice of the strange things seems to have finally left.
Doyle let go of his hand covering Ace, and Ace gasped and asked in a low voice, "Father, what is this?"
Doyle whispered: "This is one of the most terrifying monsters in the sewer. They move extremely fast and have a strong bite force. One of our people was killed by them alive, leaving only a pile of bones.
Fortunately, these monsters are very afraid of water. If they enter or are immersed in water, they will become weak and weak, but there are too many of them. It is good for us to hide in the water. Don't fight them hard~EbookFREE.me ~ Ace nodded. Under the leadership of Doyle and the others, they swam up to the shore. The cat moved slowly, moving the boulder, blocking the entrance of the cave.
The adults were very good at water. They dived easily, catching a few fatty fish from time to time, while Ace helped to gather them into the back basket on the shore.
When Ace arrived for the first time, he did things well, which made Doyle and others more satisfied. In the days that followed, they gradually got used to taking Ace to gather food and catch fish and shrimps.
This also changed the eyes of the children watching Ace, who was only a short adult, and now he is doing food gathering activities that only adults do. No one dares to tease Ace. .
And Ace gradually "learned to swim", and gradually became proficient in fishing and catching shrimps, collecting usable water plants, and his status in the family gradually improved.
Finally, at Doyle’s suggestion, the old leader pulled out a feather from the crown and inserted it on Ace’s head. Then everyone walked forward and stroked Ace’s cheek forcefully. The old leader Dewey did not know where to get it. After removing the soil, apply it on Ace's cheeks, forehead, and chest. The soil has a stench that makes Ace not want to think about the source.
