The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 327: Another World Bicycle
They did not stay in the sealed city for too long. After staying for a while to make sure there were no problems with the sealing barrier, Zun Zun and the other two headed to the second temple.

Although the beautiful elf girl said that the place was very close to here, it was actually at least three days' journey away. In addition, Shimaki Yosuke's physical strength was really weak, so it took them a full seven days to reach the nearby village.

"In order to speed up, should I make a means of transportation?"

"Hey, a means of transportation!?"

Hearing what Zun Zun said, Shimaki Yosuke looked shocked, as if he had not expected this to happen.

think carefully.

The gaming ideas of his era were not as diverse as those of later generations. In order to allow players to extend their gaming time, they hardly provided convenient props such as means of transportation. Vehicles such as bicycles, motorcycles, and four-wheel drive vehicles were even more incompatible with the style of the other world.

Shimaki Yosuke thought about it carefully.

"Indeed, if there is a means of transportation, the speed of movement will become much faster."

"Right? As expected, you still need a bicycle."

"Huh!? Bicycle!? Zun Zun, you can ride a bicycle, that's amazing!"

Hearing what Zun Zun said, he seemed very surprised and opened his mouth, uttering an incredible word.

Looking closely at his expression, I found that he was not being sarcastic. Instead, after receiving a genuine compliment, Zun Zun was actually a little unable to hold back.

"No, no, no, compared to a bicycle or something, your water tank is more powerful, right?"

"That's not that difficult. It's just an ordinary jar, plus a talisman drawn by a fairy. I just asked for your help. It's not difficult at all. But can you make a bicycle? Oh, you are really good. I once thought about making a game console myself, but after I disassembled it, I couldn't even put it back together, so I gave up quickly."

I really don't understand how he equates bicycles and game consoles. They're not on the same level of difficulty, right?

Zun Zun also comforted him by saying that although he knew how to use a refrigerator, he might not be able to make one. Then the two began to discuss how to make a bicycle.

A normal bike is not challenging at all.

Moreover, after it was made, its speed was not as fast as a horse-drawn carriage and it looked more like a toy than a means of transportation, so the two decided to upgrade it into a magic prop.

"As expected, adding the wind charm is better. It can speed up the progress."

"Add the fire charm to increase the propulsion."

"And there are water charms that allow you to swim underwater."

"Then we'll have to think of a way to breathe underwater."

"Yes."

The two of them were thinking a lot and had bursts of inspiration. When the conversation was at its climax, the beautiful elf girl, who was left out, pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. She suddenly pounced on Zun Zun and pressed his head.

"Wait a minute, what is this bicycle you two are talking about!?"

"...Tsk."

Shimaki Yosuke was shocked when he was interrupted.

Zun Zun used a small wooden stick to draw a simple pattern of a bicycle on the ground and explained the working principle of the bicycle, which made the elf girl exclaim that such a portable means of transportation was eye-opening.

Yes, the bicycle is one of the most successful human-powered machines invented by humans. It is a complex machine composed of many simple machines, which cleverly utilizes all of them to bring out great characteristics and convenience.

Just

Zun Zun thought about the image of the beautiful elf girl riding a bicycle, which was no less than the image of Guan Yu riding a bicycle alone for thousands of miles.

"...I sense a great deal of malice, Zun Zun, what are you laughing at?"

"I remembered happy things."

"What a happy thing."

"The picture of you riding a bicycle."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sneer came from the other side, and this time Shimaki Yosuke couldn't hold it back. The elf girl who was being laughed at looked at them in confusion, not knowing why she was being laughed at for riding a bicycle, so the two laughed even louder.

When the three arrived at the ancestral hall, they found three familiar faces.

"Eh, Kuroki!?"

"Kuroki!? Ah, ah... it's me."

This kind of scene has been seen by everyone.

The beautiful elf girl rolled her eyes in annoyance, then greeted them with a smile: "It's been more than a month, how are you three doing recently... Alicia and..."

"Leica and Edgar."

Zun Zun quickly added.

For some reason, she only remembered Alicia's name and forgot her two childhood sweethearts.

"Zun Zun, and Miss Elf!"

Alicia greeted them happily.

"Just so-so."

“A lot of things happened.”

Strangely, Laika and Edgar had ugly expressions. They both stammered and couldn't speak, and when they looked at the three people - especially Shimaki Yosuke, they looked at him with obvious guilt.

Ok? ? ?
While Zun Zun was keenly aware of the apology, Shimaki Yosuke asked in a somewhat strange tone, "What are you guys doing here?"

"Um……"

The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed to speak.

Finally, it was Alicia who said, "That ancient ancestral hall was used as a nest by the monsters. The villagers of the nearby Sharek Village were attacked by the monsters, so they asked us to go and defeat the monsters, but our combat power is not enough..."

She looked like she wanted to ask a favor from a few people.

Shimaki Yosuke asked, "What kind of monster is it?" "Let me think... It's called the Assassin Beast... If it's a hedgehog, you should have heard of it, right? It's a hedgehog monster that's about the size of a human."

"W-what!? A huge, hedgehog-like monster!? S-Sonic... It's Sonic, Zun-zun!"

He was extremely excited.

Sonic to Sega is Mario to Nintendo. Both are highly representative cartoon characters launched to break into the market. After the first generation of the game was released in 1991, it immediately broke Nintendo's control over the market and received unanimous praise.

Even if you are not a die-hard Sega fan, you would know about this kind of thing.

Ask why.

Of course, that was him who was reborn in his previous life. He did a lot of things behind the scenes to add fuel to the fire and make a lot of money.

"The thorn in the back is too dangerous."

"If it weren't for Alicia's recovery magic and spells, we would have died from excessive blood loss."

"You two rushed too far ahead."

The three of them began to review the game.

Apparently Alicia and the others had already fought the hedgehog before Zun Zun and the others arrived, and they hadn’t won yet.

"That thing has strong defensive power after curling up into a ball. How can we defeat it..."

"No, you can't kill it!"

Wow--

When Shimaki Yosuke said this, Zun Zun held his forehead and sighed helplessly, and the beautiful elf girl couldn't help but question him.

"That's a monster. It's a monster that attacks humans!"

"If it is a dangerous monster that attacks humans, then it is right to kill it. But why do monsters attack humans? If we know the reason, maybe there is no need to fight."

"Are you stupid? Someone has already been harmed. How can we have a leisurely chat about this kind of topic?!"

Leica couldn't help but blame Shimaki Yosuke.

At this time, it is completely stupid to talk about empathy with monsters. No matter how docile, kind, and friendly the monster was before, when it hurts humans, it can only be killed even if it has a hidden secret.

Alicia thought that it would be a good thing if she could avoid fighting, but she was scolded by her companion Laika.

Just when Shimaki Yosuke was still thinking about pleading for the hedgehog and felt that they should have a good communication.

“Ah, it appeared!”

“Hey, Sony——”

Shimaki Yosuke turned around excitedly, but saw a huge hedgehog, and his expression suddenly became ugly.

"Who is this?"

"It's a hedgehog!"

"The hedgehogs in the other world are completely different from the hedgehogs on Earth."

"This is the hedgehog on Earth. You just mistook the hedgehog in the game for the real hedgehog. Don't confuse them!"

Game players are like this. Once they find that the game is different from what they imagined, they will feel very disappointed and lose much interest.

But I've already said that I want to have a good conversation, so I can't turn hostile right there and then.

So the conversation began.

"Monster! Why are you attacking humans? Are you being driven out of your habitat? Are humans occupying your territory? Are you on guard because your child is born? Or are you afraid that your family has been killed? Answer me! I don't want to kill you!"

Shimaki Yosuke was excited to understand the hedgehog's words, and after listening to the hedgehog's explanation, he used magic before anyone could react.

It was probably not because of being hurt or lacking food, but simply because it was fun that annoyed Shimaki Yosuke.

"Flame Phoenix annihilation."

The powerful magic constructed by the immortal spirit released a fierce temperature in the next second, and a fire phoenix materialized by flames appeared in front of them. The burning fire feathers fanned the hot air in their faces, making everyone involuntarily take a step back.

As Shimagi Yosuke waved his hand, the fire phoenix in the sky looked down at the shivering hedgehog below, and then swooped down.

There was a bang.

As everyone stared in amazement, the flaming phoenix that descended from the sky engulfed the hedgehog. Before it could even let out a scream, it was completely burned to ashes.

However, when the Fire Phoenix was still rushing forward and was about to destroy the hedgehog's 'nest', Zun Zun appeared there in time.

Also extend your hand.

But it was not as loud as when Shimaki Yosuke released magic. The right hand that was stretched into the hot magic was wrapped in magic power, and Zun Zun's eyes lit up red.

"Xiaohong, the anti-ghosts are killing each other!"

The right hand that was holding the Flame Phoenix's neck twisted it, as if it could really break the non-existent neck. After a brief and violent tremor, the Flame Phoenix's body made of flames instantly collapsed and dissipated into the air.

"Phew—that was a close call."

Zun Zun wiped his forehead and shook his slightly red right hand. This magic still has a lot of room for improvement.

"Wow--"

“That’s awesome.”

"Are you two actually human?"

Leica and Edgar said this with their eyes wide open. Although they had seen a small part of Shimaki Yosuke's strength before, they still couldn't hide their shock when they saw it again.
