Chapter 153 The Arrival of Uninvited Guests
The dog's eyes suddenly changed, and he jumped up, raising his body high like a giant python.
This scene frightened Usopp and Sanji. Luffy because of his careless character and the fact that he gave the order to Gouzi.
So Luffy naturally put the credit on himself, so Luffy didn't feel scared. Rey didn't feel anything like this because he was too strong.
After a brief moment of surprise, Usopp pulled off the telescope from his hat, put it on his eyes, then looked into the distance and said:
"There are houses in front, and there are people living here."
As soon as Luffy heard that there were people living here, he immediately said:
“Market market, you can buy food now”
After hearing this, Rey expressed that he was very speechless. Luffy was either fighting or eating, and he didn't know why Luffy had such a big appetite.
Rey shook his head secretly in his heart, and then said to the three of them:
"Then let's go take a look."
After saying that, Luffy couldn't wait to rush forward, and Rey and the three of them followed behind.
The house was not far away, and the four of them arrived quickly. All they saw was a house that looked like a yurt.
There was no market here that Luffy had been thinking about. There was only this lonely house. Luffy didn't care whether there was anyone in the house or not, he just opened the door.
Usopp originally wanted to stop him, but he couldn't hold back Luffy's brute strength, so he let Luffy in, and Rey followed curiously.
Although this was rude, now that Luffy had opened the door, he had to face the owner of the room.
But to their surprise, there was no one in the room. At this time, Chopper shouted outside the room:
"Come and take a look, there are giraffes here."
Everyone heard that there was a strange creature. Since there was no one in the room, there was no need to be polite, so Rey, Luffy, and Usopp all ran out.
Under the sunlight, Luffy and the others did not see clearly what this creature with a long neck was. When the light perception caused by the sunlight in the eyes disappeared, the three of them saw clearly that it was a horse.
Chopper is also an animal, so he can understand what the horse is saying. Chopper translated:
"She said she had been here for ten years and she said she was a girl."
Rey stepped forward and looked at the saddle on the horse, and then said:
"It seems that this horse has an owner, but I don't know where her owner is."
"She said she didn't know where the master had gone. She was here waiting for him to come back."
Luffy and Usopp saw two bamboos here. The bamboos were very high. They raised their eyes and looked up along the bamboos, but they couldn't see the top of the bamboos.
Usopp suddenly panicked and pointed at the bamboo and said:
"Look, these two bamboos are moving!"
Luffy wasn't afraid when he saw this. The competitive Luffy didn't even think about it and just kicked him.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the bamboo broke. Then something suddenly fell down, kicking up billows of dust.
When the dust cleared, an old man wearing a felt hat was seen lying on Luffy's back. Luffy and the old man got up from the ground.
Luffy looked at the old man who hit him, and then said with a surprised look on his face:
"Wow, there is an old man inside the bamboo!"
The old man felt pain, flicked the dust off his body, and then said:
"What kind of bamboo monster? I fell from the sky. These two bamboos are my stilts. I also want to thank you. I'm afraid of heights and I can't get off these stilts."
I have been on this stilt for ten years, during which time the bamboos have continued to grow. Fortunately, there are also many very tall fruit trees on the island, and I rely on these fruit trees to satisfy my hunger. "
A cheerful horse hooting broke the calm. When the old man heard it, he said with great excitement:
"Xueli, is it you? Xueli, I thought you followed the people in the village, but I didn't expect you to still be here waiting for me."
After Xue Li confirmed that he was her master, she quickly ran to the old man.
The old man held Xue Li's head, as if he had seen his long-lost relative. Chopper was moved to tears by this scene, such a sincere feeling.
Luffy asked: "Grandpa, where is your family? Why are you here alone and still on the stilts for ten years?"
The old man sighed, and then said leisurely:
“We are on Chang Chain Island, and the tide recedes every three years on Chang Chain Island. Those of us who live on Chang Chain Island have made a living by nomadic herding for generations.
Every time the tide goes out, the original appearance of the long chain of islands will be revealed, and the ten islands will be connected together, and then we will use this time to move to the next island.
It has been ten years now, and I have to wait here for another twenty years before I can see anyone in the village. "
Usopp said:
"You can go rowing. Wouldn't it be much faster?"
The old man sighed, touched Xueli's head and continued:
"Hey, it's not that simple. Even the most accurate compass can't guide us to the next island in the long chain of islands, because the ten islands are originally one island."
Everyone felt sorry after hearing this. It had been ten years, and the old man couldn't help but ride on Xue Li's back, gallop on the grassland, and then find the feeling back then.
Rey, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper stood in front of the old man's house and were filled with emotion when they saw the old man's happy appearance.
But it didn't take long for the good thing to happen. A gunshot was heard, and then Xueli fell to the ground. Xueli's four extremely long legs were entangled in the net. Xueli struggled with all her strength to no avail.
The old man also fell directly to the ground. As the only doctor on the Golden Melly, Chopper knew that someone was injured now, and as a doctor, he needed to save people now.
Then Chopper quickly walked up to the old man with his lower legs, gently lifted the old man up, and then Chopper checked the old man's body.
Luffy, Rey and others also ran over, but Sherry couldn't untie the webs wrapped around her four legs.
Through his telescope, Usopp spotted three people appearing in the distance, and then thinking of the gunfire just now, Usopp said to Rey and Luffy:
"There's someone in front of me, and he's probably not a good person."
After hearing this, Rey wanted to step forward and take a look. However, just when Rey was about to start, the system's mechanical sound suddenly sounded in Rey's head:
"Ding, a new plot has been detected ahead. The host is now provided with the following tasks. Please choose and complete them."
"Task 1: Keep only the host's domineering power and sword skills, and complete the next plot. After completion, the host will gain 100 potential points."
