sin of nature

The not-so-solid door of the inn opened with a "squeak" under everyone's noses.

"Ah!!!!" The clerk screamed, and got behind the two shopkeepers, and the shopkeepers all huddled together.

Sitting around an octagonal table, Xiao Ming and the others were calm and relaxed, and were not frightened by the sudden change.

Everyone maintained a very tacit posture—turning their heads slightly, looking at the.....the bear outside the door.

Standing upright at the door is a black black bear, taller than a human being, with very sharp claws on the bear paw, which is about the size of an ordinary human head, and looks dirty, as if it has just rolled in the mud .

But that's not the point.......

On the black bear's head, where there should have been two round ears, there were two human ears.

Seeing the two human ears, the shopkeeper barked even louder.

The man accused intermittently, "That ear...! It must belong to the third son of the Zhao family in the north of the city! He said that a black bear broke into his house that day... and took his ear ear!!"

"Ouch-"

The black bear standing outside seemed to be responding to what he said, raised its head, opened its mouth with fangs, and roared loudly.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and then hid in the corner of the lobby.

The black bear standing outside the door seemed to have human consciousness. It glanced at the door frame in front of it that might hit its head, lowered its two front paws, and crawled in steadily.

A few people from the store had crowded around and hid on the stairs leading to the second floor, and kindly greeted the people who were still as safe as a mountain below and were sending things to their mouths.

"Sirs! This is not a joke! Run for your life!!"

Jin Buhuan still stuffed his mouth with food, waved his hand proudly, and replied vaguely, "It's okay, you guys hide."

While speaking, the black bear had already crawled to the table of several people, and several people stopped their eating actions one after another, paying attention to the movement of the approaching black bear.

The black bear came to the side of Kuang Yu first, moved its huge head close to his shoulder, and moved its nose, as if sniffing his scent.

The black bear's big mouth can bite off Kuang Yu's neck that is close at hand in an instant, and the moist breath is sprayed on the opponent's face.

Huan Li was next to Kuang Yu, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his sword.

"Well....."

The black bear let out a nasal sound from its nasal cavity, as if dissatisfied, turned its head, and moved closer to Huan Li's shoulder, sniffing his scent.

Half of the eyes of the crowd were focused on the black bear's open mouth, and the other half were on the two weird human ears on the black bear's head. Judging from the shape and outline, it must be human ears. The pair of round ears that the black bear should have There is nothing on the round ears.

Jin Buhuan looked at the pair of human ears, and rarely lost his appetite for food.

The black bear just sniffed one by one, and every time it sniffed a person, it made a somewhat impatient nasal sound and turned to the next person.

Until the black bear crawled to Yao Guang's side.

As soon as it got closer, it made a lingering sound, and even rolled on the ground.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, watching the black bear who had rolled on the ground get up in a hurry, leaned its huge head on Yao Guang's shoulder, and even rubbed it very intimately.

"Ugh-"

"Ugh-"

He also placed a front paw on Yao Guang's leg.

If the bear hadn't been too big, it might have hung itself entirely on Yao Guang.

Xiao Ming asked strangely, "What's wrong with it...?"

Lingxi laughed, and said inscrutably, "Maybe it's the estrus period, and I chose a mate for myself."

Xiao Ming: "???"

Yao Guang didn't resist the approaching black bear, he stretched out his hand to rub the furry chin of the big head leaning on his shoulder, and smoothed the fur on the front paw on his leg, and said in a low voice, " good--"

Jin Buhuan said, "Maybe it's true, look, the bear is so comfortable that its eyes are almost closed."

The eyes of the black bear, who was very happy to be scratched by Yao Guang's chin, turned into a line, and there was a tendency to fall asleep like this.

Yao Guang turned his head and explained to Xiao Ming, "It may feel that it has found its own kind."

Jin Buhuan: "Not only that, I think it's a female..."

As soon as the words fell, another dark figure appeared at the door of the open inn.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'

Everyone looked up, and there appeared another black bear that was about the same size as the one on Yao Guang's shoulders, but the bear's ears were ordinary black bear ears, but what was more unusual... this bear was long personal nose.

? ?

Everyone was astonished, watching in shock that the bear with a human nose crawled straight towards Yao Guang, leaned its head on his other shoulder, and rested its front paw on his thigh.

Contrary to everyone's shock, Yao Guang, who was sandwiched between two black bears, was obviously very calm, still scratching his chin and smoothing his fur.

Xiao Ming inadvertently glanced at the door, the expression on his face was stunned, he immediately got up and moved to the side, and hurriedly said to the others solemnly, "Let's move, don't block them—"

"??"

When I turned around, three or five black bears had already gathered at the door.

........

Everyone immediately got up and stood aside knowingly, watching Yao Guang surrounded by black bears.

Jin Buhuan couldn't help applauding, "It's the first time I've seen such a scene."

In the end, Yao Guang had to leave the inn—in order to prevent the tables and chairs in the inn from being damaged by the large number of black bears that were still increasing.

The black bears followed him obediently and walked out of the inn.

I don't know what method Yaoguang used, but it took a lot of effort to finally drive away the group of black bears one by one.

The black clothes on Yao Guang's body were covered with a lot of dust, and he said to Xiao Ming, "Just now they told me that the ears, noses, and fingers of those people on their bodies were exchanged from those people."

"Huh?" Xiao Ming frowned, "What for?"

"There is a big entrance to the boundary nearby. Those black bears and the evil things that appear in the town at night all come out of it, but they can't see the light, so they come and go at night, exchanging their own things with human things. .For example... recently they are using human organs or skin as their own organ skin."

Xiao Ming thought for a while, and asked, "But there is no communication between humans and evil beasts, so how did they exchange?"

Yao Guang: "Probably the problem lies here. These evil beasts let their own minds take away what they want, and they don't know what others think when they are taken away, so they leave what they think can be exchanged. But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is unilateral stealing and usurpation."

A few people returned to the inn lobby and asked the man who was still in shock, "I said before that the people whose things were taken away at night, did they find anything unusual in their own homes?"

"This...... I really don't know..." The man frowned and racked his brains, and suddenly clapped his hands and said, "That's right! I heard that there was never someone at home before. I’ve seen the fangs of a wild beast...the fangs are as tall as a man! I just don’t know if it’s true or not, I’ve never seen it anyway..."

Xiao Ming nodded clearly, and asked, "What time is it?"

Guy: "It's almost Hai's time, why, are you guys going to rest? I'll go prepare hot water."

"No need for now." Xiao Ming waved his hand, and turned to the crowd, "How about we go out and see the situation outside?"

After walking out of the inn, it was dark and silent outside. A group of people carried the lanterns prepared by the inn staff and walked on the road. This was the first time they saw so many evil beasts in the human world.

Jin Buhuan looked at the big bird with fluorescent light in the sky and dragged a snake-tailed turtle flying past. Thinking of Yao Guang saying that there is a big entrance to the land nearby, he couldn't help sighing, "Could it be that all the evil beasts in the land are Are they coming here? I've never seen so many strange things."

Xiao Ming said, "Although these evil beasts can only appear at night, compared to the dark and empty world, the human world is naturally more novel and interesting to them."

Jin Buhuan said again, "The seals of the previous hundreds of years were still intact, but they were broken by evil beasts at some point."

Xiao Ming echoed: "Yeah, this back and forth, except for the hundreds of years in between, the seal of the land boundary is useless."

Not long after walking, I saw the dark city gate in the distance.

There was no light on the walls, and it seemed unguarded.

Without much effort, everyone pushed open the heavy city gate and entered the city. There was a lively scene in front of them. There was no silence and darkness in the middle of the night, and the streets were bustling with people.

Half of the 'people' on the street look similar to ordinary people, and the other half are all kinds of strange beasts that are absolutely not found in the human world, such as candied haws hawkers with a horse body and human face and wings, and hawks selling weapons with the head of a snake and the tail of a snake. Vendors, apes performing jumping through fire hoops and crushing boulders in their chests.

Some of their 'humans' were even communicating in a human language that everyone could understand, but most of them were still communicating in a way of shouting that sounded completely meaningless to them.

Jin Buhuan spotted a stall selling snacks on the street with a sharp eye. A wooden sign was hanging crookedly on the stall, and it read in distorted characters - pea yellow.

"I want to eat this, wait for me!" Jin Buhuan ran to the booth without hesitation. The owner who guarded the booth was a middle-aged man who looked like ordinary people. A small plate with neatly cut pastries.

"How do you sell this pea yellow?" Jin Buhuan asked while reaching out to touch his purse.

The boss said: "Of course I have to exchange the baby."

"Baby?" Jin Buhuan remembered that these people were sentient beings in the land, and money was of little use to them.

"Rare items, as long as they are good, you can buy them."

"Oh..." Jin Buhuan thought for a moment, and found a rare stone from his Qiankun sleeve - it was collected from God Realm, "Do you think this is okay?"

The boss is also very knowledgeable. When he saw the things in his hand, his eyes straightened, and he nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes—you can take all of it, and I will wrap it for you—"

Jin Buhuan walked back with a bunch of pea yellows in his arms and distributed them to everyone.

Xiao Ming was in front of a vendor looking at the wine they brewed with different ingredients, they all smelled very mellow.

The boss handed him a wine glass very enthusiastically, and poured him another glass.

Xiao Ming sniffed it close to the tip of his nose, but Yao Guang stopped him.

"Don't drink—"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ming immediately became alert, thinking that there was something wrong with the wine.

Yao Guang touched his arm, took the wine glass in his hand, put it down and left.

"??" Xiao Ming looked at him puzzled, Yao Guang leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "That's brewed with the livers of evil beasts from the Earth Realm."

"!!!"

Coincidentally, Jin Buhuan walked up to the two of them and handed them another bag of pea yellow in his hand, "I think this should be delicious—"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing carefully.

Xiao Ming was also about to eat, but was stopped by Yao Guang again.

"?"

Jin Buhuan's expression gradually became a little weird from the original full of expectation.

He looked down at the pastry left in his hand, and said to himself, "Why do I feel that this taste is not right?"

Lingxi next to him took the pastry in his hand and didn't eat it, looking at him playfully.

"Why don't you eat it, you guys... Although the taste is different from what I usually eat, it's still—"

His voice dropped, because he happened to meet the owner of the pea yellow seller pushing the cart and was about to close the stall.

A rope was tied to the side of the cart, and at the other end of the rope was a toad that reached the height of a person's knee.

Pushing the cart, the boss urged, "Pea! Go faster! Go home and continue preparing for tomorrow."

The toad passed by Jin Buhuan, his eyes blinked, and tears seemed to flow.But he didn't stay for long, and was dragged away by the boss again.

Jin Buhuan asked strangely, "Did you hear that the name of a toad is Pea?"

Lingxi lowered his head and sniffed the pastry in his hand, and said seriously, "According to my experience of eating countless wild animals in the past 1000 years, this thing... should be the eggs of leprosy."

"What is it?" Jin Buhuan suspected that he had heard wrong.

Lingxi elongated his voice with malicious intentions, "Tomb □□—egg!"

Jin Buhuan: "..."

It turns out...is this pea yellow...

"........"

"vomit!!!!"
