Chapter 300 Late Night Time

  In the forest, there was silence.

  Augis put down the carving knife in her hand, and stared at the puppet in her hand, her eyes were filled with an inexplicable emotion.

   "How? How do you feel?"

   Not far away, the blond girl looked at Augis while drinking black tea, and asked.

   "It feels...very strange."

   While muttering to herself, Augis stretched out her hand and gently stroked the surface of the doll.

"I've never had such a feeling before. Touching it with my fingers, I can feel its existence. Carving a piece of wood into a completely different shape, it's like turning it into a different life... The master made me back then. Is that also the case?"

   "I don't know that."

  The blond girl put down her teacup, and then a small and cute doll came to her with a teapot and refilled another cup of tea for the blond girl.

"Even if you are both a puppeteer, everyone has different ideas. The purpose and idea of ​​making a puppet are the same. But now, you have to remember your identity. You are no longer a created thing. You now have the creation talent, then you should think about how to use this talent..."

   "The talent to create..."

  Hearing the blond girl's pointing, a pensive look appeared in Augis's eyes. She lowered her head and looked at the half-formed doll in her hand.

   "The talent I need..."

   Staring at the doll, Augis fell into deep thought.

  Meanwhile, Duanmuhuai is enjoying...or nostalgia.

   "I didn't expect that I would revisit a public bathhouse here. How long has it been since I've been to a place like this?"

  Looking at the dilapidated bathing place in front of him, Duanmuhuai was speechless. Due to the purchase of the skill book today, he and Lorena’s duel points were almost exhausted, and finally they had no choice but to rent two dilapidated apartments. As a result, there was nothing in the apartment except beds and toilets. If you want to take a bath, you have to go to the nearby bathing place - Duanmuhuai should have saved a little more duel points if he knew this, so that he wouldn't be in such a miserable situation.

   "I must earn more points tomorrow, and at least live in a normal place..."

  While muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai walked into the bathing place.

   Not long after Duanmuhuai walked into the bathing place, two more figures appeared outside the bathing place soon after.

   "Really, why do I have to come to this kind of place?"

  Looking at the bathing place in front of him, a man with black hair and ponytail complained with dissatisfaction.

   "Because the duel broke the dojo and the water pipe line, it will take time to repair. There is no way."

  Hearing the complaints from his companions, a blond man in Taoist uniform next to him answered.

   "Extreme Flow is also a big field, can't you pay more attention to this aspect?"

   "If you want to complain, go to Dad and complain, Robert."

   "Oh... forget it then."

   Appearing at the entrance of the bathhouse were Ryo Sakazaki and Robert Garcia from Extreme Flow. They are masters of Extreme Flow and guests of this duel competition. The reason why I came here today is because I accidentally broke the water pipe line during the duel in the dojo. As a result, not only was my sister Yuri Sakazaki reprimanded, but I was also kicked out. In desperation, the two had no choice but to go to the dojo. The bathroom came to take a bath.

  However, when the two took off their clothes and walked into the bath, they were surprised to find that there were several people standing outside the bath. They were naked, looking inside hesitantly, as if they didn't know whether to go in or not.

"What's going on here?"

   "Just ask and you will know."

   Seeing this scene, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert were also puzzled. They walked to the door, and then Robert patted one of them on the shoulder.

   "Hey, what are you looking at here? There are no women inside."

   "Wow! Ah, you guys are extreme streamers..."

   When Robert patted his shoulder, the guests outside were also taken aback. When they turned around and saw Ryo Sakazaki and Robert, they breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Oh, you don't know... There is a terrible person in the bath, and we dare not go in."

   "Scary person?"

  Hearing this, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert looked at each other.

"That's right, it looks like he's from the underworld... Everyone was afraid of him, so they didn't dare to go in to take a bath. I asked, could this be some underworld trick to scare away all the customers, and then go to the store What's the benefit..."

   "Is there such a thing?!"

  Hearing this, the two couldn't help it.

   "Let's go and see."

   While speaking, Ryo Sakazaki strode into the bath, and Robert followed.

  The huge bathing place was empty, and there was no one in it. Obviously, it was just like what those guests said, and the other guests might have been scared away.

  Who the **** is doing such a dirty trick.

   Seeing this scene, Ryo Sakazaki frowned. In his opinion, this is obviously not a decent behavior. This is just a dilapidated old bathing place. It is too much for those gangsters to even let this kind of place go!

   So, what about the key person?

   "Hey, Liang, look over there."

   While Sakazaki Ryo looked left and right to find the culprit, Robert whispered in his ear while raising his chin in front of him. Ryo Sakazaki looked in the direction indicated by Robert, and then——surprised.

I saw a huge black shadow sitting there in the hot spring bath. Under the light, you can see the bulging muscles and brown skin of the other party. What's more terrible is that the other party is just sitting, feeling They are as tall as they stand!

  Is this still human? !

Even Sakazaki Ryo and Robert, who have experienced many battles, were taken aback at the moment. Although the guests outside said that this guy was very vicious, at the time they only thought that the other party had a bad attitude, but looking at it now, they are also He was quite frightened, especially that ferocious face. He obviously had his eyes closed, but for some reason, it gave the two of them an unprecedented sense of oppression and deterrence.

   This feeling is as if they are not in the bathing place, but in a cave in the mountains, facing a sleeping tiger!

   No, I'm afraid tigers are better at dealing with them!

   Unknowingly, the two of them even took their breaths lightly, as if they were instinctively afraid of the man in front of them, even afraid of waking him up.

   Wait, no!

   At this moment, the two came back to their senses.

  They are extreme fighters, how could they be intimidated by just one person!

  If this gets out, how will they mess around? !

   "I want to come forward and tell you that his behavior is simply causing trouble for the store!"

   Sakazaki gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, looking at the man and whispering. Although he forced himself to calm down, that figure with a strange sense of coercion, just sitting there was enough to make him feel nervous. In fact, Ryo Sakazaki has unknowingly entered the fighting state now, and at this moment he even feels more nervous than competing in the duel arena.

   "Be careful."

  Robert also clenched his fists, whispered, and at the same time he chuckled.

   "However, there is no need to worry too much. I have seen this kind of big guy a lot, and they are all strong on the outside. It is not worth mentioning at all..."

"Um………"

  Hearing what Robert said, Ryo Sakazaki nodded, then he took a deep breath and walked over.

"Hey you……!"

"Um?"

  Hearing someone calling him, Duanmu Huai opened his eyes and looked forward. When he saw these two people, he couldn't help being taken aback.

   Isn’t this Ryo Sakazaki and Robert?

   Are you not familiar with them? Why are they looking for themselves?

  Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai looked at the two of them.

"What's up?"

   "————!"

   What kind of look is this!

   What Sakazaki Ryo and Robert didn't expect was that when the other party opened their eyes and looked at them, they suddenly felt an unprecedented terror! It's as if what's there isn't a human being at all, but a giant dragon! At this moment, it even opened its eyes, staring at its tiny creatures, as if it wanted to devour them completely in one bite!

   Who the **** is this person!

  Robert even took a step back and directly assumed a fighting posture. It wasn't that he was warlike, but that his body instinctively sensed the danger, and he spontaneously chose to resist.

  Because——If you don’t resist, you will die!

   "Are you...are you a fighter?"

  Meeting Duanmu Huai's eyes, Sakazaki Ryo also trembled, but he still forced himself to ask.

   "That's right, could it be that the two of you want to have a date?"

  Duanmu Huai nodded, and then asked, "It's not surprising, after all, in the Duel City, players' prestige will increase after winning the game, and when the prestige is high, someone will challenge themselves. It's just that Duanmu Huai didn't expect that he would be picked—after all, these two are also considered all-star characters. Logically speaking, he would have to earn a certain amount of reputation before he could receive their invitation to challenge.

   "Ah... Mmm!"

  As soon as Sakazaki said the words, he realized that there was no turning back, so he nodded.

   "Tomorrow, at the Ultimate Runner Dojo, we'll be waiting for you!"

"no problem."

  Duanmu Huai did not doubt that he was there, and nodded. The Extreme Flow Dojo can be regarded as a place of interest for players to check in, and he was actually able to receive the invitation-that is really not for nothing.

   "Then, see you at the dojo tomorrow."

   After saying this, Sakazaki Ryo and Robert began to back away cautiously, and seeing that they were about to leave, Duanmu Huai also stood up out of politeness, and nodded to them.

   "Okay, I see, tomorrow I will go to the dojo to disturb... oh."

   While talking, the towel on Duanmuhuai's waist suddenly fell off, and Duanmuhuai also subconsciously lowered his head to pick it up. When he picked up the towel and looked up, he saw that Sakazaki Liang and Robert had disappeared.

   This is leaving? But it's not really a place for conversation.

   Duanmuhuai scratched his head, shrugged his shoulders, and sat down again.

  Tomorrow, let’s go to the extreme flow dojo to have a look.

   Just as Duanmuhuai closed his eyes again and enjoyed the hot spring bath, Ryo Sakazaki and Robert were leaning against the wall in the bathroom outside, their faces pale and gasping for breath.

   "Hey...Robert, did you see that?"

   "See... what is that?! Is that what humans should have?"

  Recalling the scene he saw just now, Robert could not help but tremble.

   What a ferocious dragon that is! Does such a thing really exist in this world? !

  Thinking of this, Robert looked down, and then felt a sense of depression—in front of the giant dragon, he was just a limp little caterpillar.

"do not give up!"

  Ryo Sakazaki reached out, grabbed Robert by the shoulder, and glared at him.

   "We haven't lost yet! The man's battle has just begun! Tomorrow, at the Ultimate Run Dojo, we'll defeat him! Brace yourself! Robert! Don't give in to fear!"

   "...Ah, I see, Liang."

  Hearing Sakazaki's encouragement, Robert's originally gloomy eyes gradually regained their brightness.

   "Thank you... I won't give in like this!"

   While speaking, Robert looked at the gate of the bathing place in front of him.

   "Tomorrow is the real battle!"
