Chapter 20: Adventure in the Lake

At night, the courtyard of Wanjia was brightly lit, and in the hall of Wanjia, President Wan sat in the middle, and there were several well-dressed old men standing beside him.

"Alas~ It's so dangerous, I can't imagine that this demon snake clan is so rampant, since they are in a hurry to attack our town at night," President Wan said.

"Recently, a lot of men have been lost in the town for no reason, and people are panicking, it seems that it is really the work of this group of demons," the old man on the side answered.

"President, we have to think of a way, in a few months, there will be only women and children left in our town," the others said.

"I have spent a lot of money to invite these cultivators from the 'Qunxiong Alliance' thousands of miles away, the fighters and spirits are all above level 2, these **** will take them to find the lair of the demon snake and kill all the demon girls there" President Wan patted the table and said.

"President Wan, are these demon snakes you are talking about, are they half-length women and half-snake-tailed demon beasts" Shi Yan looked at President Wan and asked.

"Yes, yes, little brother Shi Yan, you've seen them," President Wan said curiously.

Everyone focused their eyes on Shi Yan, to be honest, if Shi Yan hadn't spoken, everyone would have forgotten that there was a 10-year-old child in this hall.

"I've seen and talked about it," Shi Yan said.

"Huh??" Everyone looked at Shi Yan in surprise.

"She asked me to send you a message that you should return the stolen goods to them within three days, or else kill everyone here," Shi Yan said.

"Stolen things?" Everybody, you look at me, I look at you.

"That's not right," said an old man beside him, "our town has never interacted with those demons, and we have been safe and quiet for hundreds of years, so why do you suddenly say what you stolen?" Who stole their stuff? ”。

"Little brother Shi Yan, did she mention what it was, and it was stolen by someone here?" President Wan asked curiously.

"No," Shi Yan shook his head.

"Impossible" everyone replied, "It's obviously their demonic nature, for the sake of ****, they swept away the men in the town and went to live happily, how can anyone steal their things."

"That's true," President Wan said.

"Little brother, what else did she say?" The old man on the side asked.

Shi Yan thought about it, he was praising himself for being cute and teasing himself, there should be no need to elaborate on these, so he shook his head again.

"Little Brother Shi Yan, I've scared you tonight, you go back and rest first, and we'll take care of the rest," President Wan looked at Shi Yan and smiled.

"Okay," Shi Yan said, turning and leaving the room.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the room, I saw Arus chatting with a few maids not far away, and it turned out that Arus shouted loudly, which not only alarmed Shi Yan, but also excited others.

"You don't know, how dangerous it was at that time, that monster was fierce, as soon as he came in, he was going to do something with me, but fortunately, I reacted quickly and yelled~" Arus gushed endlessly, not noticing Shi Yan standing behind him at all.

"Brother Xiaoyan," Xiaoyu shouted happily after seeing Shi Yan.

"Ah~ah~" Arus looked back at Shi Yan and smiled, "You're back."

"Yes, let's go, go back to the house and say," Shi Yan said and went back to the house alone.

Inside the house, three people sat there, the space around them fluctuated slightly, and the old man of the ancient beast appeared in front of everyone.

"Teacher, what was the origin of that demon snake just now?" Shi Yan looked at the old man of the ancient beast and asked.

"I don't know, it's just that when the caravan came back, I felt that there was a group of very strong demon beasts walking around in this mountain, and it seemed that they had been following us, but I don't know why they didn't dare to approach."

"Teacher, you already knew they were coming," Arus said.

"No, I didn't know they would come in, just guessing, I thought Xiao Yan might take this opportunity to exercise, but after observing, I found that this demon snake clan didn't seem to have the intention of violating humans."

"They're powerful? Why can't you feel their fighting spirit and spiritual power at all," Shi Yan asked.

"That's because they have witchcraft, and witchcraft is not the same as fighting spirit and true qi. That was a long time ago, the leader of the demon snake clan had some connections with the wizard of the orc clan back then, I couldn't imagine that after so long, this race still existed, and it was still living in seclusion in this kind of place," said the old beast man.

"The Demon Snake Clan, as my mother once mentioned, is indeed a very ancient race," Xiaoyu said.

"The maids say they kidnap the men in the town, so could it be that they take them back to practice some kind of witchcraft?" Arus said.

"I don't know, but the demon snake woman said that someone in this town stole something from the demon snake clan, and they will come to retaliate," Shi Yan said.

"Brother Xiaoyan, why don't we go," Xiaoyu said.

"This?" Shi Yan said and looked at the old man of the ancient beast.

"I don't think it's okay to stay, you are so young, you can meet such a peculiar clan, even if it is not helpful for cultivation, it is good to have a long experience, not to mention, I see that the strength of that group of demon snake women is not weak, the demon snake named Bi'er just now is very strong, and the dozen or so so-called masters hired by President Wan are estimated to be not the opponent of the demon snake in total."

"I can't beat it together, but I saw that the group of people just now is not weak, and they are all fighters and spirits above level 2, so they can't be beaten together, shouldn't they" Shi Yan was surprised.

"That Bi'er's strength, if it is divided according to the level of a Dou Qi cultivator, I estimate that he has already entered the level 1 fighter, and a few level 2 fighters and level 2 spirit masters are not opponents at all," the old man of the ancient beast said.

On the Strange Stone Continent, although there is a gap in strength between different stages of the same level, if a low-level cultivator cultivates a good Dou Qi cheats or spirit magic cheats, the gap can be shortened, and a good cheat can even shorten the gap of 3 stages. But the competition at different levels, even if there are good cheats, it is in vain.

"After you are promoted to Dou Master and Mage, you will be able to find that there is a world of difference between you and Fighter and Spirit Warrior," said the Old Beast Elder.

"Since they are so powerful, why don't they come directly and ask for them, but instead catch people secretly," Shi Yan said curiously.

"I know this," Arus said, "the leader of the Serpent Clan is called Medusa, and the people call him Queen Medusa, and the teacher only knows about them and the Orcs before, but not about the aftermath."

"Oh? Boy, I still underestimate you, I've been asleep for too long, and I really don't know what happened after that," the old man said.

"Hehe, what happened later was this, after the orc wizard successfully changed the appearance of the orc woman, he died. Queen Medusa also wants to make the demon snake clan completely transform into a human form through the same method, but unfortunately, the blood of the demon snake clan is different from other races, their blood is cold, and that witchcraft can't make them fully evolve into humans, and in desperation, Queen Medusa can only re-practice other witchcraft. But the circle also requires three wizards to open, and the elves can't help a cold-blooded race, and Queen Medusa can only ask the wizards of the human race."

"The Terran wizard helped them?" Shi Yan asked.

"At first, the Terran wizard didn't agree at first, because it would give up his life and lifelong cultivation, but Medusa didn't give up, she found the most powerful pharmacist on the continent at that time, that is, the medicine venerable back then. It is said that in order to invite Yaozun, Queen Medusa took out a rare divine stone to create a Dan furnace for Yaozun, and Yaozun was moved by Queen Medusa's sincerity. Promised it to refine a life-sustaining elixir for the Terran wizards, because Medusa knew that the wizard's witchcraft was very special, and he often had to practice at the expense of his own lifespan, so the lifespan of the wizard was very short, and with that life-sustaining pill, the wizard had an extra 10 years of life, and the Terran wizard was finally moved by Queen Medusa's sincerity. But the wizard said that this formation was to be practiced by three wizards together, and it would cost the life of one wizard, but unfortunately there was no third wizard on the continent who could do it at that time. Because the wizard of the elven clan refused to make a move, in the end, only the Terran wizard and Queen Medusa reluctantly opened the magic circle, at the cost of Medusa's lifespan. Although the magic circle was activated, due to the lack of magic power, only half of the effect was activated, which eventually led to the demon snake clan becoming half-human and half-snake."

"Huh?" Xiaoyu has some regrets.

"Although Queen Medusa has only succeeded halfway, she is already very satisfied, the strength of the demon snake clan has increased greatly, and it is precisely because the magic circle is only half played, so the queen Medusa only consumed half of her lifespan, and she also lived for hundreds of years, and before she died, she ordered that the descendants of the demon snake clan should not be allowed to be enemies of humans, and it is said that Queen Medusa also issued a curse" Arus recounted the stories of the maids.

"No wonder, it turns out that they can't be enemies of humans, but junior brother, how do you know so much?" Shi Yan said.

"As the maids told me, everyone here knows this legend, and there are many more versions in the town, which is why they have dared to live with such a fierce clan for thousands of years," Arus said.

"I see," Shi Yan said.

"The curse is not expected to be true, how can anyone set a curse on their descendants, but the strength of the demon snake clan is certain, and it has not attacked for a long time, it seems that it really does not want to be an enemy of the human race," the old man of the ancient beast said.

"Actually, I don't feel right, I feel that Sister Bi'er won't say a word out of thin air," Shi Yan said.

"Shi Yan, you must have fallen for their charms, it is said that the demon snake clan has a demagogic spell, when a man sees them, he will be fascinated by them," Arus said, a hint of envy on his face.

"No," Shi Yan shook his head.

After discussing it all night, although I knew the ins and outs of the human race and the demon snake clan, I didn't know what the problem of the two clans was. When the three of them woke up the next day, it was already late, and when they left the Wanjia compound, they found that there was no one on the street. Three people, you look at me, I look at you.

"No, how can this opening of the eyes be so different, I already knew that I wouldn't sleep," Arus said.

"Let's go and ask the president," Shi Yan said.

When I came to the hall, I found that the president was sitting alone in the room, dejected, and after seeing the three of them, he reluctantly smiled and said, "The three of you are up."

"President, what's the matter, why is there no one on the street?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"You don't know, there was a lot of noise in the town about the demon snake coming out last night, and everyone knows that the demon snake clan will be charming, and I heard that the men were taken away by them as soon as they saw them, so all the men didn't dare to go out today, and the business in the town also stopped," Chairman Wan said.

When Shi Yan saw President Wan's dejected appearance, he knew that the threat posed by the Demon Snake Clan to the town was estimated to be difficult to resolve.

"Alas~" Saying this, the president sighed again.

"Xiao Yan, don't care about him" The voice of the old man of the ancient beast came from his heart, "You three go out and have a look."

"Oh," Shi Yan said. However, since others couldn't hear the voice of the old man of the ancient beast, Shi Yan attracted the eyes of the surroundings instead.

"You spoon," Arus said.

"President" Shi Yan didn't pay attention to Arus, and said with a smile, "President, I want to go out for a walk."

"Don't do it, don't go out these days, I wanted to entertain the three of them with the friendship of the landlord, but I didn't think that this town would do such a thing," President Wan said.

"It's okay, let's just take a casual look" Shi Yan said, and was about to leave, but the president had no choice but to find two level 2 fighters and spirit masters to follow.

After thanking the president, the three of them walked all the way to the forest last night. Along the way, Xiaoyu and Arus followed closely, and when they were halfway through, the fighter and the spirit suddenly stopped.

"Three children, don't go forward"

"Why?" Shi Yan asked.

"The front is the range of the demon snake clan, you are so rash to enter, what danger is there we can't protect you," the level 2 fighter said, looking at the spirit man with a look of disdain.

"Come back, those two," Shi Yan said, striding deeper into the forest.

The Level 2 Fighter and the Spirit Warrior looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and returned their respective ways, because they only took the money from President Wan, and there was no need to protect irrelevant people, and for these people who took money to do things, no one else mattered.

"They really went back," Arus snapped.

"Let's go back" Shi Yantou walked forward without looking back, and Xiaoyu followed closely. Arus looked at the two of them, shook his head helplessly, and followed.

"Brother Xiaoyan" was about to see the surface of the lake, Xiaoyu suddenly grabbed Shi Yan and said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yan said curiously.

"Brother Xiaoyan, there's something in this water," Xiaoyu whispered.

"In the water?" Shi Yan looked at the calm in front of him, he recalled the situation last night, the demon snake named Bi'er showed half of its head from the lake not far in front.

"Is it the Demon Snake Clan or what?" Shi Yan whispered.

"No, I don't feel like a demon snake, I look like a human," Xiaoyu said as she looked at Shi Yan.

"People?" Arus looked at the lake, puzzled.

"Yes, and there is more than one, there are many people under this water," Xiaoyu said softly. Due to Xiaoyu's double cultivation of water and wood, the two attributes have reached 4 levels respectively, and the perception of water is stronger than Shi Yan's 4 stage fighting spirit.

"Is it?" Shi Yan said, walked to the lake, and took off his coat.

"Brother Xiaoyan, what are you doing?" Xiaoyu pulled Shi Yan and asked.

"I'll go, you're stupid again," Arus said.

"I'll take a look, Xiaoyu, you're on the shore, if there's any movement, you can notify me," Shi Yan said, turning around and jumping into the lake.

"It's over, senior sister, we're going to depend on each other in the future," Arus sighed.

"Shut up, Brother Xiaoyan will be fine," Xiaoyu said anxiously.

After jumping into the lake, Xiao Yan quickly entered the state, after all, he had practiced in the lake. He swam quickly towards the depths of the lake, and what he saw in front of him amazed Shi Yan.

There are a lot of aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, and there are many huge oval aquatic grass balls among the aquatic plants, and when Shi Yan swims over, he opens the aquatic plants and finds that since there is a huge bubble inside, there is a man sleeping in the bubble.

Shi Yan tried to remove the aquatic plants, but unfortunately he didn't have the tools to take advantage of them, and when he looked at the aquatic plants in front of him, he touched them, and the surface of the aquatic plants was densely packed with small bubbles. Shi Yan understood that it turned out that they did not die in the water, mainly because the aquatic plants provided them with oxygen.

Just when Shi Yan was thinking about how to rescue the man in the water, a black shadow not far away quickly approached, and almost instantly arrived in front of him, Shi Yan was frightened, and bubbles kept bubbling in his mouth.

"Oh no, Brother Shi Yan is in danger," Xiaoyu suddenly shouted from the shore.

"Huh? Isn't it just a few bubbles? Arus said.

"No, there's a very powerful thing rushing towards him," Xiaoyu said as she jumped on the shore in a hurry, dragging Arus's arm to death.

"Well, it's useless for you to catch me, I'm very bad at water," Arus said.

"Little junior brother, you can help him" Xiaoyu was anxious and almost cried.

"It's not that I won't" Arus looked at the water, bubbles growing.

"What should I do, if you don't go, I'll go" Xiaoyu said, about to jump.

"Pull it down," Arus dragged the rain back and jumped into the water with a thud.

In the water, Arus swam forward, and as soon as he got closer, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, only to see Shi Yan being entangled in a huge tail and struggling desperately in the water. Arus thought to himself, what should I do? I didn't have time to think about it, so I swam over. When Shi Yan saw Arus, he was also a little surprised, he really didn't expect him to jump down, only to see Arus swimming towards Shi Yan, because the tail was too long, and there were bubbles all around, so Arus didn't see the true face of the demon snake clearly, only knew that Shi Yan was dying.

"Fight," Arus thought to himself, swimming in front of Shi Yan, and since he grabbed this Shi Yan, he pouted. Shi Yan was stunned for a moment and kept swimming backwards, but Arus still grabbed him and kissed Shi Yan deeply, and handed the air in his mouth to Shi Yan.

Just when Arus was finished and was about to leave, he found a charming demon snake next to him looking at him blankly, Arus looked at his face, looked at his chest, and saw that his waist was connected to Shi Yan's chest. Frightened, he swam backwards, he had never seen the demon snakes, found that he had run out of oxygen, and began to swim quickly towards the water.

"Don't want to run," the basilisk said, swimming quickly towards Arus, grabbing Arus's feet.

"Ah~~Goo, goo~~~," Arus shouted desperately in the water.

"Double Shadow Fist" Shi Yan saw that the demon snake was distracted, and his body's fighting spirit soared, since he separated an afterimage, he swung his fists and smashed it heavily on the tail of the demon snake, and after a punch was smashed, the afterimage disappeared. Obviously, the demon snake didn't knock down Shi Yan and had this kind of strength, and his tail hurt and he let go.

"You?" The demon snake watched Shi Yan suddenly open his mouth, and couldn't care about Arus in his hand, so he pounced on Shi Yan.

"Ghost Fist" Shi Yan silently thought, Shi Yan kicked violently, "Whew"~, another afterimage was summoned, and the two of them smashed towards the demon snake in the water together.

"Looking for death" saw that the demon snake clan did not dodge, and came straight to Shi Yan, stretching out two hands to catch the two punches of Shi Yan and the afterimage. These two punches were full force for Shi Yan, but he didn't expect that the opponent was only caught by a slight burst. Shi Yan suddenly thought of what the old beast said, the difference between different levels, it seems that this demon snake woman is also at the level of a fighter.

"You are looking for death" The demon snake grabbed Shi Yan's neck, and just about to exert force, a black air flow suddenly rushed out of the necklace, and the 'touch' hit the demon snake's face, and the demon snake didn't expect that since this kid still had this hand, he was forced to be knocked out a few meters away.

Shi Yan took the opportunity to swim violently to the water, and as soon as he showed his head, he began to breathe heavily, and Shi Yan was a little tired from the two ghost fists, if it wasn't for the help of the ancient beast old man just now, he would probably hang up.

"Come up quickly," Aruth shouted in the distance.

"Oh," Shi Yan said, swinging his legs quickly and swimming towards the shore, fortunately the demon snake didn't chase after him, otherwise he really wouldn't have the strength to send out a ghost punch.

"Brother Xiaoyan, are you okay?" asked Xiaoyu as she pulled Shi Yan up.

"It's okay, if it weren't for Arus's breath of oxygen, I guess I would have hung up," Shi Yan gasped.

"The oxygen?" Xiaoyu was puzzled.

"Huh?" Shi Yan looked at Arus, only to see that Arus deliberately turned his head away from him.

"Anyway, it was Arus who saved me, thank you, little junior brother," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu, if she hadn't found out that there was a problem in the water, I wouldn't have rescued you," Arus said.

"Not long after you went down, I felt something very powerful rushing towards you quickly," Xiaoyu said.

"Is it gone?" Shi Yan asked.

"No, but I feel like it's stuck somewhere, and a force several times stronger than her suddenly erupted, what the hell is going on?" Xiaoyu asked.

"yes, you didn't see it, the water was blown up," Arus said.

"This?" Shi Yan was just about to say something, when the voice of the old man of the ancient beast suddenly came from his heart, "Little ghost, don't say it."

"This, I don't know," Shi Yan said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, it's okay for people to be fine, let's go quickly, I feel like something is coming again," Xiaoyu urged.

"It's endless, let's go, I don't have the courage to come again," Arus said, picking up Shi Yan, and the three of them walked quickly in the direction of the town.
