Chapter 157: Don't Eat It, Everyone. This Dragon Lobster is Poisonous!
This Seafolk beach activity is destined to change. It's gone from a sea and sky carnival to a children's carnival. King used his extraordinary popularity and his awesome flying skills to take the children in circles over the villa area until he felt a little tired before stopping.
The children, having fulfilled their dreams of flying, were all incredibly excited.
"Wow, did you see that? I just went to heaven!"
"Hmph, what's that? My dad just took a picture of me. I stood shoulder to shoulder with the sun."
"I really want to be like a little bird and fly in the sky forever!"
Locksmith Centipede looked at the children playing with joy, and was immediately very grateful to King, thanking him, "King, thank you."
King waved his hand, "It's nothing. Compared to you, I'm not worthy of being called a hero. Being able to do something for the children is what I should do." Well, this hero mainly relied on Saitama's experience, taking one step at a time on the road to becoming the strongest man.
Locksmith Centipede sincerely said, "King is joking. As everyone knows, if it weren't for you, King, the world would suffer even more serious destruction. Many powerful Mysterious Beings were defeated by you, King! How can you say that you are not a worthy hero? In fact, you are the real great hero who can save the common people, while I am just an insignificant little hero who can only save some people around me."
"I am a great hero?"
King was slightly silent, and smiled helplessly, "Let's not talk about this anymore, the more we talk about it, the more heartbreaking it becomes."
"Little friends, do you see how majestic grandpa is when he does martial arts? Do you want to learn martial arts from grandpa?"
Bang, that old man, is enticing people to become his apprentice again. Compared to before, when he focused on excellent adults, this time he directly wanted to harm children, grandpa.
Child Emperor was even more ruthless, relying on his young age to act as the king of children and a teacher, "Little brothers, follow me and learn."
Puri-Puri Prisoner was more heartbroken. He had been having a good time in his self-enclosed prison these past two days. He hadn't planned to participate in the beach party, but hearing that there was a swimming event, he specially abandoned his new inmates and rushed over, but unexpectedly, it was all about playing with children.
Tea Stall Son was even more dumbfounded. The sea and sky carnival was gone, and all the energy of his entire person had been taken away, walking around like a zombie, helping Bang lure children to learn martial arts.
Superalloy Darkshine didn't come because he had something to do.
King casually asked the Ayatana Group person in charge who was receiving them, "Isn't Miss Yali coming?"
The person in charge respectfully said, "The chairman originally planned to come, but the government suddenly announced that it would solve the development problems of the Z-City uninhabited area. The chairman has already gone to participate in the bidding activities, so she may not have time to come. I'm very sorry."
"It's okay. If she comes, she might earn several hundred million less."
King waved his hand with a smile. It was better if Yali didn't come. Without the owner, they could be more unrestrained and arrange things however they wanted.
"Tonight...a beach bonfire barbecue!"
"Hooray! There's something good to eat."
"Well, I love barbecues the most."
"I want to eat grilled dragon lobster and squid."
The children were excitedly flushed, like red apples.
The beach barbecue was being held. On the one hand, the barbecue was definitely going to be a barbecue, and on the other hand, it was to understand the sea bottom black shadow that Xiqi spoke of. The patrolling hero of F-City, Stinger, was also in the affected area tonight. King and the others needed to consult Stinger for detailed information about the sea bottom black shadow.
Night quickly came.
The beach was brightly lit, passionate women, sexy bikinis, fluttering breasts... In short, Tea Stall Son finally saw his dream paradise, and his whole person was lightheaded and immortal. His soul had already been hooked away by the one hot beauty after another. Puri-Puri Prisoner was also drooling, and the muscular, firm naked (river crab) men on the beach deeply attracted his attention.
"Never mind those two guys, let's barbecue ourselves."
King looked at the two fellows speechlessly, and took Locksmith Centipede and a group of little brats into the barbecue.
At the barbecue spot, dozens of tables had been set up, and a man with a thin face, sharp eyes, and a snake-patterned suit was sitting at one of the tables. It was the top A-Class hero... cough, Stinger.
"Zhang Da... oops, cough, cough, Stinger, hello."
King, Bang, and Child Emperor came to meet Stinger, while the barbecue was handed over to Locksmith Centipede and Gun God.
Stinger twitched his mouth. He didn't know when it started, but the first greeting everyone gave him was always "Zhang Da Cannon". Only a ghost knew who Zhang Da Cannon was! Was he more famous than this A-Class hero?
He reluctantly smiled and replied, "Mr. King, Mr. Silver Fang, and Little Mr. Child Emperor, hello." Facing three S-Class heroes, he restrained his frivolous expression and sat upright.
"Don't be nervous. We were entrusted by Xiqi... to specifically ask you about the sea bottom black shadow."
Stinger was puzzled, "Sea bottom black shadow? Didn't the higher-ups say there's no need to pay attention to it?"
Xiqi: "...You have always been ranked at the bottom of the A-Class heroes for a reason!"
"..."
King and others were also stunned, and then laughed, "Oh, maybe they realized it was wrong, so they entrusted us to investigate the truth."
"Well, actually, the rumors about the sea bottom black shadow only started spreading in the past few days. According to the fishermen who went to sea, when they were sailing, they often found a mysterious black shadow moving under the sea. Looking at its shape, it didn't look like baleen whales or other large fish, so they were very suspicious. The report to the association was to let us investigate the situation so that they could go to sea with peace of mind."
Stinger reported the whole story of the incident to King and others in detail.
"A moving, non-fish mysterious black shadow?"
King was thoughtful. Could it be a member of the Seafolk? That's not certain. The Seafolk have been eyeing the colorful world on land. If his memory is correct, it won't be long before the Seafolk will launch a full-scale invasion of the human world on land. Maybe they've already started sending people to act as forward posts.
Child Emperor stroked his little chin and thought, "Is it a Mysterious Being?"
Bang smiled and said, "Hey, I'm old, and my brain isn't working well. If it's a fight, you can count me in, but if it's using your brain, then there's no need. This old man still wants to live a few more years!"
After Stinger finished speaking, he didn't say a word and quietly waited for King and others to think.
"Uncle King, for you... eat dragon lobster, it's delicious."
Just as King and the others were pondering, a crisp childish voice rang in everyone's ears. King opened his eyes and saw a cute little girl holding up a few grilled dragon lobsters, her big eyes full of anticipation.
"Thank you, little friend."
King smiled gently, took the dragon lobster, and touched the little girl's head to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome, Uncle King. My name is Mengxi."
The little girl named Mengxi smiled contentedly and ran away happily.
"Come on, everyone, one skewer each, don't let down Mengxi's good intentions."
King distributed the dragon lobster to Bang and the others. When it was Stinger's turn, he hesitantly asked, "Stinger, can you eat dragon lobster?"
"Mr. King, don't worry, I can eat seafood."
Stinger nodded, took King's dragon lobster, and looked at the fragrant, red and white dragon lobster. His eyes narrowed slightly. Speaking of which, he had been in F-City for many years and had eaten a lot of seafood, but he had never eaten dragon lobster. It was really strange.
"Crunch!"
He took a bite, and the shell of the dragon lobster cracked crisply. The tender meat inside emitted a charming fragrance on his taste buds, rippling in his mouth, intoxicating his heart.
He loved it in his heart, and finished the remaining dragon lobster in a few bites, licking his fragrant and numb lips, still with unfinished business.
Huh, wait a minute, fragrant and numb? Why would his lips feel numb from eating dragon lobster? Moreover, slowly there was still a bit of itching, and his lips were swelling, um, just like a balloon being pumped with air.
"Hiss~"
He took a breath of cold air, his face flushed, and red spots appeared. In a short while, his lips were as red and swollen as sausages. He was shocked and lost his color, and disregarding his own safety, he stood up and shouted, "Don't eat dragon lobster, everyone. This dragon lobster is poisonous!"
Thank you for the rewards from Almighty Impermanence (Black Impermanence or White Impermanence? Hmm, don't come find me at night to urge me to update, haha) and Muzi Xuan (seeing the word "Xuan", why do I always want to add a hook and a stroke below?). Thank you for your support!
