Chapter 804: A man who doesn’t know how well he sings.
When the song ended, the lingering sound was still in the air, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.
The applause lasted for a long time, for no other reason than that Shao Yun's singing voice was so magnetic!
Some enthusiastic audiences couldn't contain their excitement and whistled.
"It sounds great, please sing another one!" The shouts were like waves, one higher than the other.
Shao Yun gently handed the guitar in his hand to the musician of the band, then turned to the audience who were cheering for him to play another song, and said helplessly: "Let me go..."
Shao Yun walked back into the crowd, and suddenly, Maranie jumped lightly in front of him.
"Mr. Shao Yun, you sing so beautifully!" Maranie did not hide her praise.
"Although I don't understand the lyrics, the melody of the music is real! It makes me feel the passion."
Shao Yun smiled a little embarrassedly, scratched his head at Maranie's high praise for him, and said modestly: "Really? I think my singing is pretty bad, I'm tone-deaf, at least not as good as the original singer."
This is the truth, Javier's singing is indeed very nice. In comparison, he feels that his singing still has a lot of room for improvement.
Seeing Shao Yun being so modest, Malani couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, pretending to be "don't be modest", and said: "Excessive modesty is showing off! Don't belittle yourself!"
At this time, the system also complained about Shao Yun's neglect of his singing voice.
【A man who doesn't know how well he sings. 】
Shao Yun did not mock the system this time, but thanked it in his heart: "Thank you for the music score."
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun and Maranie stayed at the concert for a while longer, enjoying the band's performance on the stage and feeling the warm atmosphere.
When the musical evening came to an end and the audience left one after another, Shao Yun and Malani also felt it was time to take a break.
As an experienced guide, Malani was naturally well prepared.
"Mr. Shao Yun, let's go to the Golden Evening Hotel to rest tonight. The environment there is very nice. I believe you will like it."
Shao Yun nodded in agreement, and then the two of them walked towards the hotel together.
As they were walking, Malani suddenly came to Shao Yun with her hands behind her back, and then walked backwards while suggesting in a playful tone:
"By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, would you like to sing another song for everyone at the hot spring party the day after tomorrow?"
When Shao Yun heard that Malani wanted him to sing again, he quickly waved his hand and refused: "Oh, forget it. I really can't sing well and it will scare everyone away."
As he spoke, an awkward smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Malani did not give up easily. She blinked and said with a smile:
"Mr. Shao Yun, you are too modest! Your singing voice is so beautiful, everyone likes to listen to it."
"Besides, the purpose of a hot spring party is to have fun together, so why don't you sing another song?"
Shao Yun still shook his head. He didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of everyone.
Seeing Shao Yun was so persistent, Malani could only sigh helplessly and stop forcing him for the time being.
However, she had secretly made up her mind to find a way to get Shao Yun to sing at the hot spring party.
"Okay, Mr. Shao Yun, but when the time comes, I have many ways to make you sing!" Malani said mischievously, with a cunning light in her eyes.
……
In the evening, there are many flowing springs, in the hotel in the golden evening.
Malani led Shao Yun into a room.
"Oh, Mr. Shao Yun, what do you think of this place?" Malani let out a long breath and said full of energy.
Shao Yun looked at the interior of the room. As he said before, his only requirement for the room was that it just had to be clean.
"Not bad, thank you very much." Shao Yun gave Marani a thumbs up to express his gratitude.
Seeing that it was getting late, Maranie didn't bother Shao Yun any more.
When she walked out of the room, she turned back, put her right hand on her forehead, and said playfully and cutely:
"Go to bed early, we have many other activities to play tomorrow."
……
Shao Yun lay on the bed and took out his diary from his Eastern Legend backpack.
He read out the records while recording what happened today.
"Today, the Return to Fire Festival has ended. Katsina is participating in the Night Watcher War. I doubt whether the girl is ready to deal with the enemies of the Abyss."
"Malani brought me to the Flowing Springs for vacation. This girl is very enthusiastic. I believe you will like her too.
"Her enthusiasm eased the pain of losing you a little, but only a little. I miss you very much."
"...I don't know how you are doing in Barbatos' hands now. I miss you very much..."
……
After Shao Yun finished writing the diary, he stuffed the notebook into his Eastern Legend backpack.
After finishing all this, Shao Yun lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep as usual.
However, his tranquility did not last long.
I don’t know how long it was before Shao Yun was awakened by a sudden noise.
Shao Yun covered his forehead in a daze, mumbling, "What on earth is going on? Is there a fire?"
He complained as he tried to wake himself up.
As his consciousness gradually returned, Shao Yunkai listened carefully to the movements outside.
The sound sounded very unusual, definitely not an ordinary noise.
Shao Yun's heart tightened, realizing that something might have happened.
He quickly jumped out of bed and put on his "sharpshooter suit" as quickly as possible.
After getting dressed, Shao Yun walked out of the hotel.
As soon as he stepped out of the door of the Golden Evening Hotel, his eyes were attracted by the scene at the door.
I saw Malani standing at the door, looking nervous, as if she was on guard against something.
Seeing this, Shao Yun hurried forward and asked, "Marani, what happened?"
When Maranie heard Shao Yun's voice, she turned around abruptly. She replied without letting up, "Nothing, it's just the abyss that's coming."
When Shao Yun heard the words "the abyss is coming", his reaction seemed unusually calm compared to Maranie's vigilance.
"what?"
Shao Yun thought: "Abyss? Could it be that Abyss came to find me and was discovered?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Although Yuan Shang was a bit of a joker, he is still a high-level monster of the Abyss Cult. He has brains and wouldn't make such a low-level mistake."
Just as Shao Yun was lost in thought, suddenly, a beast hound pounced out from the darkness without warning.
"Aww!"
This sudden attack took Shao Yun by surprise. He instinctively pulled out the cowboy revolver (Goat's Blessing) from his waist and shouted:
"Fuck! Wolf!"
Shao Yun's fingers instinctively pulled the hammer and pulled the trigger. This shot was completely a reaction out of muscle memory. Fortunately, the bullet finally hit the beast hound that pounced on him accurately.
The beast hound that launched a fierce attack on Shao Yun let out a unique canine howl after being hit by a bullet. Then, its body was swallowed up by a sudden vortex of the abyss.
Shao Yun looked at the "wolf" that he had already dealt with and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It seems that it's not Yuan Shang who came..."
After seeing Shao Yun kill the last beast hound, Maranie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had been wary of this potential threat.
"Huh~, this is the last abyss monster. It seems that we have almost cleared out the monsters near us, but the attack tonight seems to be not over yet. Where on earth did these guys come from..."
Shao Yun offered his help to Malani in a tentative tone.
"Do you need my help? Although I have only cleaned up hillbillies before, I believe my fighting ability should not disappoint you."
When Shao Yun mentioned that he had cleared out hillbills before, Maranie realized that he at least had some experience dealing with monsters.
Every bit of strength counts now.
"Okay, thank you for your help, but please don't push yourself too hard." Malani welcomed Shao Yun's help, but also reminded him not to be overconfident.
However, Marani didn't know that the number of hill people that Shao Yun had cleared was in the thousands...
After hearing Malani remind him not to act stubbornly, Shao Yun responded in a calm and firm manner:
"I don't think there is any so-called bravado. I'm here to help. The God of Fire can testify for me."
Marani looked around, and after a careful check to confirm that there were no remaining abyss monsters nearby, she made a proposal to Shao Yun.
"Let's go find Leader Amina. She must know more than I do about guarding against the Abyss."
……
Afterwards, Shao Yun and Malani went to find Amina together.
Amina, the leader of the Flowing Springs, wears a shark hat on her head.
Although she has a girlish figure and is not very old, she is indeed a good leader.
Now, Amina was standing in front of the tribe's obsidian totem, concentrating on coordinating the tribe's defense.
As the leader of the Flowing Spring people, she must command and think like a brain to ensure the safety of the tribe.
Malani hurried to Amina and shouted anxiously, "Amina!"
Amina's eyes fell on Malani and Shao Yun who followed closely behind, and greeted: "Malani, there are guests... You, you are awake..."
Shao Yun saw that Amina was a little surprised that he woke up, and half-jokingly complained:
"I don't think my heart is that big. How can I sleep peacefully when there's such a big commotion outside?"
Then, Malani asked in a concerned tone, "What's the situation now?"
Amina shook her head slightly and replied in a pessimistic tone:
"Although we made adequate preparations in advance, we were still short of manpower, and the monsters still broke through our defenses and rushed into the tribe."
"Fortunately, there have been no casualties so far."
Malani was slightly relieved to hear that there were no casualties.
Just a little bit, and then she continued to remain alert and continued to ask for information.
"From which direction did this invasion of the abyss begin?"
Amina pointed to the east of the tribe and said:
"To the east, we have already discovered the exact location of the 'Abyss Gate', but we have not yet gathered enough warriors to launch an attack on that place."
When Shao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "'Abyss Gate', is it something like a portal to the abyss?"
Maranie nodded slightly and explained, "Yes, that's about it. The 'gate' created by the abyss is where the monsters came to the surface from the Kingdom of the Night God."
Shao Yun noticed a key problem at this time, that is, shouldn't we be in the period of the Night Watcher War now? How can the Abyss still have the spare energy to invade here?
"Wait, isn't this the period of the Night Watchman War? Why is the Abyss still willing to invade this place? Did the Night Watchman War fail this time?"
Amina also seemed a little confused when faced with Shao Yun's questions.
"I'm not sure whether this Abyss invasion is directly related to the Nightwatch War. After all, the Abyss invasion of Nata happens all the time."
Seeing that the discussion was beginning to stray from the topic, Malani promptly interrupted this seemingly insignificant exchange.
"Now is not the time to investigate the cause. Our most urgent task right now is to deal with the invasion of the Abyss."
"If we want to put an end to this invasion, we must destroy the gate to the Abyss, and the sooner the better. Otherwise, monsters will continue to pour out, and even the strongest warriors will be in a tough fight!"
Amina came back to her senses, nodded in agreement, and said with a hint of worry, "Indeed, this is exactly what I am most worried about."
"From the number of monsters we have observed so far, there may be more than one 'Abyss Gate' that appeared this time."
"We are also working hard to investigate the specific locations of other gates so that we can block and handle them in a timely manner..."
Faced with the current emergency, Malani volunteered.
"In that case, let's close the abyss gates one by one. Let's seal the eastern gate first."
Then, Maranie gently placed her right hand on her chest and said sincerely to Mr. Shao Yun:
"Mr. Shao Yun, I'm not welcome. I need your help."
Mr. Shao Yun maintained his usual indifferent attitude in the face of Marani's request, and nodded in agreement:
"Of course, my purpose in coming to Nata is to help."
Seeing that Mr. Shao Yun was willing to lend a helping hand, Amina expressed her gratitude to Mr. Shao Yun on behalf of the people of Liuquan.
"On behalf of the people of Liuquan, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you, Mr. Shao Yun. Please."
Malani urges everyone to go ahead, seeing that everything has been arranged.
"Let's go now without further ado. Amina, you should also pay attention to your own safety."
