"Why hasn't this kid come up yet?" Randy squatted at the entrance of the sewer, not afraid of the stench coming out of it. "Is something going to happen?"
At this time, Randy heard the sound of rushing water below, as if someone was running over from far away.
"Ah, I'm back," Randy nodded with satisfaction and said loudly, "Why are you so careless? You will fall down if you run so fast."
As he said this, he picked up the short bow used for extremely close combat and pointed at the entrance of the cave.
Randy's hearing was naturally better than Yi Liuling's, and he could easily tell that the person running over was definitely not him.
A pale hand protruded from the hole. It looked a bit like a human, but it had sharp nails, like a possessed beast king.
Randy was in no rush to shoot, he was confident he could control this guy.
The person inside quickly climbed out and showed his full appearance in front of the three people.
"Hiss, this is..." Mrs. Getai couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The person who came out of the sewer was a human boy, or even a boy, because he looked to be only twelve years old at most. The child was about the same height as Yi Liuling, and his skin was as pale as lime. He was wrapped in some water plants and tattered cloths, and his wet hair hung down on his face, making him look dirty and embarrassed.
His eyes were strange, a little cloudy, and the red irises seemed to be covered with a white cloth. Perhaps it was due to living underground for a long time. Even though there was only a dim magic lamp above his head in the underground warehouse, he still showed an unbearable expression and covered the upper half of his face with his hands with purple-black nails.
Randy glanced down and saw a long lizard tail extending from under the rag strips that could barely be called pants.
Is he a mixed race? In other words, this strip of cloth is a bit like Yi Liuling's coat.
After the mysterious boy stood aside, Yi Liuling also climbed out of the hole. However, because the former made water everywhere on the ground, Yi Liuling even slipped when he grabbed the edge. Fortunately, the boy was very generous. The ground gave him a hand.
"Wow," Randy said, "how do you make weird things happen everywhere you go?"
"I didn't come here on my own," Yi Liuling rolled her eyes at him, then grabbed the young man's wrist who was trying to hide behind him uncomfortably, and pulled him in front of a few people, "This is my new friend. Gudu."
"Gudu, Gudu is a friend." Gudu repeated loudly, revealing a mouth of shark-like sharp teeth.
"What's his origin?" Randy couldn't completely trust Gudu.
"His common language was basically learned by listening to others in the sewers, so he couldn't explain many things clearly." Yi Liuling glanced at Gudu, "However, I guess he is a mixed race who was abandoned in the sewers. Because he said he grew up down there."
Reina frowned, as if she couldn't understand: "This is impossible. All human hybrids will have their locations calculated by the local divination department, and then people will be sent to pick them up. How could they be abandoned in the sewers for such a long time?"
"Gudu, don't lie." Gudu was a little panicked and turned his eyes to Yi Liuling for help.
"Well," Yi Liuling patted him on the shoulder to express relief, and then said to Randy, "No matter what, we need to investigate to find out, but Gudu helped me a lot, otherwise I might not have found this."
After speaking, he took out a small glass bead from his pocket. This was the starter of the "Three-Blade Ax". As long as the owner, Mrs. Getai, crushed it, the location of the Iron City could be revealed.
To be honest, it is almost impossible to find such a transparent bead the size of a thumb in that turbid sewage. However, Yi Liuling had some bad luck recently and happened to meet Gudu who had been staying here for a long time.
When Gudu rushed over just now, Yi Liuling almost stabbed him with a dagger, but Gudu instinctively kept a little distance from him and spoke in the dark in the common language that he was not very proficient in. Only then could the two of them communicate.
After learning that Gudu had no ill intentions and was just a poor child, Yi Liuling decided to take him up there to see if Randy could find a way to place him. Then he found that Gudu was not wearing anything but a few water plants. After thinking about it, he used a dagger to cut open his coat and surround the key parts for him.
Yi Liuling's idea was a big help. Gudu received a "gift" from someone else for the first time. He was very excited and asked him repeatedly what he liked. After hearing that what he was looking for was a glass bead, he immediately I found all the beads from my "collection" for many years and let Yi Liuling choose.
"Gudu, help," Gudu said happily when he heard Yi Liuling praising him, "Gudu, a good person."
"Okay, anyway, we have been picking up some strange people in school over the years," Randy sighed, "Let him follow him first, anyway, I can't see any trouble."
Reina quickly added: "I'm watching too, Mrs. Getai, prepare to find someone."
Mrs. Getai nodded. She was quite calm about all this. She took the bead directly from Yi Liuling's hand and crushed it.
When Gudu saw that his "gift" to his friend was taken away, he glared and was about to speak. Yi Liuling pulled his arm to express that it was okay.
"She, friend?" Gudu asked Yi Liuling.
"That's her thing. It fell into the sewer. I helped her find it." Yi Liuling said to Gudu, "It's not taking it away, it's giving it back to her."
Gudu showed a confused expression, but he probably understood what it meant and nodded.
Finally, the coordinates revealed by the "Three Board Axes" indicated that Iron City was on a nearby mountain.
"Is it the mountain in the square where evil tigers were said to hurt people?" Yi Liuling thought of the guy who sold his body to bury his father, "What is he doing there? He is also a hunter."
"I don't know what my husband is thinking," Mrs. Getai couldn't help but her eyes turned red. "Obviously a month ago, the dog was fine when he was born."
"Oh? You have a son?" Reina said excitedly, "I also have a son, he is 16 this year, and he is studying fighting at Suojia High School."
"Really? That young master is really outstanding," Mrs. Getai said. "But the dog is just one month old, and we can't see what his future will be."
"Then what is your son's name?" Reina continued to ask curiously.
"My husband said that the Getai family has been in decline for too long, and he hopes to regain the glory of his great-grandfather, so he named him Ke Xiaozhi after his great-grandfather." Mrs. Getai said, "But there have been too many things in the family recently, so the slave family had to send Zhi'er away first. I went to a relative’s house to take care of him.”
Yi Liuling looked at Mrs. Getai's slender figure. It was hard to imagine that she had just given birth not long ago. What kind of devilish way to lose weight had she used?
"Anyway, since we already know the whereabouts, let's go quickly." After Randy finished speaking, he looked at Gudu with a little trouble, "What should I do with this child?"
Yi Liuling thought for a while, then turned to Gudu and said, "Can you wait at Getai's house first? I'll pick up someone and come back to you."
"Hey, okay," Gudu said with a split-mouthed smile, "Gudu, you know how to wait."
