Chapter 26: Entry FeeJiang Yuan looked down at the cloak in her hand, raised her hand and gently stroked the traces of needle and thread, and was amazed in her heart: the stitches were so fine that if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that it was sewn by Rabbit Hero. At this moment, Rabbit Hero was squatting down to pack up other things. Jiang Yuan looked up at him, remembered what he had just said, and put on the cloak and hat again. The hat was very big, so big that other monsters could only see the part below Jiang Yuan's lips, but it did not affect her vision at all. The cloak hid her entire body, which made Jiang Yuan feel inexplicably safe. After they packed up their things, Rabbit Man held Big Cat's leg with one paw and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other paw. Just at this moment, all the monsters around exclaimed. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that all the monsters beside them raised their heads. So, while they were puzzled, they also looked up and saw that a full moon had appeared in the sky. The full moon stood above the valley, as bright as snow, and several times larger than the moon they usually saw. "We can see the moon is so big from the bottom of the valley. If we can go to the top of the mountain one day, we will see a beautiful view." A female snake demon was looking at the moon and talking, her expression full of longing for the beautiful scenery. Upon hearing this, another pig demon who didn't understand romance immediately said, "You may not be awake yet. As everyone knows, the top of the Moon Bay mountain is where the Moon Palace Master lives. How can you be qualified to go to the top of the mountain?"
The snake demon spat out its snake tongue, glared at the pig demon, and said angrily, "You fat pig, I think you are looking for death!" Seeing them quarreling, friends on both sides quickly stretched out their claws to stop the fight, which made the other monsters who were watching the fight laugh at them. Jiang Yuan looked towards the entrance of the valley. At this moment, the two rabbit guards each took out a token-like object and injected demonic power into it. After the token glowed, they walked to the left and right of the barrier as if they had agreed, and then pressed the glowing token on the barrier. After the token touched the barrier, within three breaths, the barrier that was like a water curtain and was flowing with light was temporarily closed. But what puzzled Jiang Yuan was that the strong rabbit guard chose to stand next to the lop-eared rabbit guard without saying a word. The lop-eared rabbit guard said in a gentle voice: "The Moon Bay barrier is open. To enter Moon Bay, each monster must pay an entry fee of ten shells, or you can exchange it with valuable things on you. Here, I wish you all a happy and enjoyable time in advance!" Hearing this, the pig demon that had just mocked the snake demon began to feel unhappy. He snorted twice and then said, "I came here three years ago. At that time, I received six cowrie shells. Why do you want ten now?" The lop-eared rabbit demon didn't show any signs of being disturbed. He just said, "This senior pig demon must have remembered it wrongly! We have always accepted ten shell coins here." Upon hearing this, the snake demon couldn't help but stand up and said, "I'll testify for this pig. When I came here a year ago, I also received six cowrie shells. But now it's only been a year... So the price has only increased by four cowrie shells in a year. It's too heartless!" She left in a hurry this time and did not have many shells on her. She had spent a lot along the way. Moreover, she came to Moon Bay to get that thing, and that thing would go to the highest bidder. So of course she tried to save as much shells as possible. What's more, if the price increase was only one or two cowries, it would not be unacceptable, but a huge increase at once is really too much! Thinking of this, she and the pig demon looked at each other and nodded to each other. Although they had conflicts just now, their ideas at this moment coincidentally reached the same conclusion. Another guard behind the lop-eared rabbit monster was about to step out and scold, but was stopped by the lop-eared rabbit monster who raised his claw. He narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the snake monster, then at the pig monster, and found that several other monsters were also eager to try and complain. Although he had a good temper, he was not one to accept adversity. So his expression turned cold and he said, "How is ten shells expensive? It has been the same price for years. Don't deliberately tarnish the reputation of our Moon Bay." At this point, he paused, looked at the other monsters who wanted to speak up and refute, and continued: "Those who think it's expensive should reflect on it carefully. Has your monster power increased over the years? Have you worked hard to earn shells? You're still slandering us for charging too much. It's not easy for us in Moon Bay either!"
