Chapter 369 Persistence
Altria finally finished the food in front of her before the two giants started to greet each other. She looked at them warily, but because she did not detect any hostility, she did not put on armor for the time being.
The others looked up and observed the two giants curiously, while also being wary of them taking action.
"What are you talking about, Brockie! You should be visiting my house, right?"
However, before Zhang Da could respond, the two giants started arguing about whose house to visit, and they looked like they were going to fight at the slightest disagreement.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, he would definitely have the impression that the giants were irritable and easily angered, and might even be so scared as Tom that he would lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
"How about you two decide it by playing rock-paper-scissors?" Zhang Da didn't want to see them fighting here. It would be bad if such a big thing smashed the Amber.
Donli and Brocky looked at each other and started playing rock-paper-scissors.
These two people are indeed giants. They played rock-paper-scissors with great vigor, and Tom, who was lying on the ground, was almost blinded by the vigor.
"GiaGiaGiaGia~" Dong Li laughed, "I won!"
"Damn it, I'll go prepare some food to entertain the guests." Broki picked up the axe with a bit of frustration, ready to chop down some dinosaurs. "By the way, you guys didn't tell me if you have any wine?"
Zhang Da also said: "We have some wine, but shouldn't you ask about our origins first?"
"KaBaBaBa~ It's great to have some wine. It's okay to talk about that later. You don't seem like bad people." Brockie left with a big laugh. He was a decisive person.
It's not just the bad guys who have problems! Strictly speaking, you guys are in the bad guy camp! Zhang Da and his companions looked at each other. It seemed that these were two giants with thick nerves. It seemed that it would be okay to go to their homes and take a look.
"Let's move out all the barrels of wine. Let's go to the giant uncle's house and have a seat." Zhang Da also had a basic liking for Dong Li, the red-faced and bearded man.
"Okay." The others responded and followed Zhang Da back to move the wine barrels.
There is always a lot of wine stored on the ship. Although no one has the habit of drinking, some wine will be added for seasoning when cooking.
More than a dozen wooden wine barrels more than half a person's height were moved out and stacked on the shore. It looked like a lot, but compared with Dongli's size, the wine barrels were equivalent to wine glasses. This amount of wine could probably only allow the two giants to taste it.
As for the bottled wine, it was not taken out at all. It felt like oral liquid to them.
"Thank you. I haven't had a drink in a long time." Dongli looked at the row of wine barrels with joy, and then pointed at Tom on the ground, "By the way, is this cat okay? It seems that it has not moved since the beginning."
As he spoke, Dongli stretched out a finger and poked Tom carefully.
Tom felt someone rubbing at him, and he turned over naturally, sticking out his tongue, to indicate that he was already a dead cat and not to be eaten.
"GiaGia~ seems to be a very interesting cat!" Dongli laughed.
Zhang Da also lifted Tom up and put him on his shoulders: "Don't worry, let's go."
"Then come on me." Dong Li stretched out his arms and let everyone climb onto his shoulders. After everyone was seated firmly, he placed the wine barrels on his shield one by one and used the shield as a tray to carry it.
The size of an ordinary person is about ten to one for Dongli, and hanging ten of them on his body does not affect his movements at all.
"We're leaving~" Dong Li stood up. Everyone felt a stronger sense of heaviness than taking the elevator, and they all grabbed the cloak on Dong Li's shoulders.
The eight people grabbed the cloaks, and the two cats grabbed the clothes of their respective owners.
"We can also take our ingredients with us." Shark Chili said, pointing at the Triceratops and Pterosaurs on the ground.
Dong Li said indifferently: "Wine is enough. Brocki will prepare the other things. How can we trouble the guests with everything?"
"I say, giant uncle, are you too confident in us?" Ye Yan said as he sat next to Dong Li's ear. "In this position, if we have bad intentions towards you, we can directly attack your vital points."
Ye Yan had thought of all his combos. The Soul-Calming Gong was struck directly next to his ear. He was confident that he could calm down even a giant. Then he would use the Chaos Beast that fell from the sky to smash him on the head. He would have no idea how he could lose.
Dong Li said nonchalantly: "It's okay, you don't look like the kind of people who would do that, and you guys treated us to a drink!"
"This criterion for judgment is really simple and crude." Ye Yan curled the corners of his mouth. He felt that such a simple guy could deceive him eight times a day.
Dongli laughed: "GiaGiaGia~ I am the strongest warrior in Elbaf!"
Ye Yan was speechless, this answer was totally irrelevant.
"Eh?" Dong Li bent down and picked up a palm-sized saber-toothed tiger. "I accidentally kicked a small animal. Although there is not much meat, it is just right for you to eat as a snack."
"Haha, thank you." Zhang Da also laughed dryly. This is just us. If it were an ordinary person, this saber-toothed tiger would be enough for a meal.
Jackie Chan held his chin with one hand and said somewhat depressedly: "It is obviously a precious prehistoric creature, but it is hunted casually like an ordinary livestock. It feels really weird."
"So what do you think of their meat?" Perona has become familiar with Jackie Chan over the past few days because of learning Kung Fu. She feels that this guy is good in every way except that he is a little long-winded. Sometimes he likes to preach and tell children what they should do. He is even more long-winded than the black-hearted boss.
Jackie Chan scratched his hair in pain: "This is what makes me feel most guilty. I actually thought it tasted so good!"
Zhang Daye, Rui Mengmeng, Shark Lajiao and Ye Yan burst into laughter. Coming from modern society, they could understand Jackie Chan's feelings to some extent and advised him to adapt to the local customs.
If you like these, you can bring some souvenirs back, such as dinosaur bones and saber-toothed tiger tusks. If you put them in your dad's antique shop, maybe some rich people will be interested in them, and you can't sue him for poaching.
"Please spare me, I would rather collect some normal things..."
As they chatted and laughed, they arrived at Donli's home - a giant sea king skeleton as big as a mountain, stretching almost from one end of the island to the other. According to the members of the Giant Pirates at the time, even among their giant tribe, only warriors like Donli and Broki could hunt such a large sea king.
"So big..." Wendy grabbed Dongli's cape with one hand and put the other hand over his eyes, "Is this really an animal bone?"
Others also looked at this behemoth that was several thousand meters long in admiration. In front of it, the four-hundred-meter-long Lab was just a tiny thing.
Dong Li was very proud of his achievements. He gently put everyone on the ground and said with a smile: "GiaGiaGia~ This is the biggest prey I have ever hunted. Broki over there also hunted one."
Wendy looked across and saw a mountain of similar size. She asked curiously, "So, whose prey is bigger?"
The little girl raised her head with her hands behind her back, her pure eyes full of curiosity. The soft sunlight made Wendy's big eyes look even brighter. The breeze blew gently, and her long blue hair floated in front of her. Wendy combed her hair casually, raised her head and continued to wait for Dongli's answer.
However, Dong Li did not answer for a long time. He grabbed his long beard in a daze, as if he had seen such a scene somewhere before.
"KaBaBaBa~" Brocky's laughter came, "I'm here Dongli!"
Broki was seen striding over with a giant axe on his back, dragging two headless brachiosaurs in his left hand and three unknown fruit trees in his right hand .
"Dongli? What are you daydreaming about?"
"Ah, Broki, do you still remember the two sea kings we killed ninety years ago?" Dongli pointed to the huge skeleton in front of him.
"Of course. That's the biggest prey I've ever caught in my life."
Dong Li then asked: "So do you remember why the two of us dueled here in the first place?"
"Because..." Broki put down the brachiosaurus and the fruit tree, scratched his head in distress, "It's been too long, I can't remember clearly."
Dongli pointed at Wendy and said, "Just now this little girl asked us who caught the bigger prey."
"Of course..." After so many hints, Broki finally remembered what happened ninety years ago.
When the two of them had captured a giant sea king, they were celebrating with their companions, and then a little girl about the same age as Wendy asked, "Who captured the bigger prey?"
Because of this small problem, neither Donli nor Broki was willing to admit defeat, insisting that their prey was bigger, and finally decided to use the rules of Elbaf to solve the problem:
'When two parties are arguing and neither side is willing to give in, the Elbaf God will judge. The Elbaf God will protect the right side and let the right side win.'
In other words, whoever wins is right.
So the two men fought a duel here for ninety years.
Because so much time has passed, Donli and Broki almost forgot the reason for the duel. Only the honor of being Elbaf warriors drives them to continue fighting. Only the winner can return to Elbaf.
But today, the scene in which Wendy asked this question was too similar to that year, which made Dongli and Brockie suddenly remember what happened back then.
Although they have been fighting for the glory of warriors in the past few decades, it is really embarrassing that the reason that prompted them to duel for so many years was actually for such a trivial matter.
So Dongli and Brockie looked at each other and laughed at the same time:
"GiaGiaGiaGiaGia~"
"KaBaBaBaBa～"
"It doesn't matter whose prey is bigger!"
"That's right. They are both giant sea kings that are unimaginable to ordinary people. It doesn't matter if they are the same size!"
"But the reason we have been fighting till now is for the honor of being Elbaf's warriors!"
"That's right, it's just for glory, definitely not for anything else!"
Dongli's face was already red, so no one could see it. Brockie kept looking up and smiling, so no one could see that he was blushing either.
Wendy tilted her head, not understanding what was going on. She just asked casually. It didn't matter which one had a bigger reply. It didn't matter if they were the same size. She just didn't know why these two people were laughing all of a sudden.
Xia Lulu grumbled, holding her hands in her pockets: "No one asked them why they were fighting, right?"
Ye Yan almost knew the whole story from the conversation between the two straightforward people. He hid behind Altria and whispered, "You have confessed it yourself. Fighting is ridiculous."
Rui Mengmeng was worried that the two giants would lose face, so she also whispered, "And you're still trying to be stubborn."
"How stupid." Perona whispered. She was also worried that the giant would get angry and kick her or something.
"..." Shark Chili was speechless. Although they, the robots, often fought each other, they were fighting for the Peace Planet where they could make wishes. This was the first time he had seen such a hasty reason for a duel, and the fight lasted for ninety years.
"It feels like I've heard such an absurd story." Jackie Chan didn't know what expression to make. God gave the giants three hundred years of lifespan, but they spent nearly a hundred years fighting.
Altria's mind was no longer here. The fruits from the trees that Broki brought back looked good.
Everyone speaks in a low voice, but there are always some people who don't know how to save other people's face, such as Tom.
"Hahahahahahahahaha..." Tom slid down from Zhang Daye's shoulder, laughing and pounding the ground, almost rolling on the ground.
The laughter was so loud that Dongli and Brockie got stuck while laughing, and they exchanged glances in silence.
It feels so embarrassing, should I silence him?
No, this is a guest.
Guests won’t mind if a cat is accidentally stepped on to death, right?
No, no, that's too rude.
…
Tom felt a chill down his spine, and the hair on his back seemed to stand up, and then he slowly stopped laughing.
Zhang Da also hugged Tom, and in order to stop the two giants from being embarrassed, he asked a very important question: "So, do you want to continue fighting?"
Dongli and Brocki were silent for a while. Yes, should they continue fighting?
Honestly, after so many years, looking back at that little argument, it seems like nothing at all, and both of them miss their hometown a little.
But we've been fighting for so long, can we just stop?
After a moment, Dong Li said, "We must fight. We are serious about what we just said. Although the cause is just a small matter, the honor of a warrior drives me to win the duel."
Broki agreed, "Same here. There has to be a result. I hope to return with the title of Elbaf's strongest warrior in the future!"
Dong Li looked at the volcano in the distance that signaled the start of their duel: "I must give myself a satisfactory explanation for these ninety years of desperate fighting."
"Me too!"
"The honor of a warrior..." Altria sighed. She could understand the feeling of regarding honor as more important than life. It was just that the cause of this battle was too bizarre.
Seeing their attitude, Zhang Da didn't know what to say. There are always some people in this world who insist on some weird things.
For example, the creed that he would rather die than kick a woman, the descendants of the "Big Liar" who have been proving the existence of Sky Island for ten years, and the two giants who have been dueling for nearly a century.
Maybe it seems stupid to others, but such people with persistence and conviction will always be liked by many people.
