Chapter 249: The Inside Story of the Forbidden Cave
As the minutes passed, Ling Xiao glanced back at the village, and there was no movement.
There were less than two minutes left, and looking at the tide of snakes outside, Ling Xiao frowned slightly.
I really can't figure out where there are so many level 10 monsters in Qingxi Valley.
"Hey, what is this?" Ling Xiao watched a trickle of water flow towards him.
Picking up a drop with the Wind Sword and sniffing it, Ling Xiao's eyes widened for a moment, this is wine!
"Warrior, quick, light it with fire, go back to the village!" Behind him, the village chief shouted.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao hurriedly took out the fire fold he bought at the grocery store from the package and threw it down.
"Boom!"
When the fire collided with the wine, it instantly ignited, and a fire surrounded the whole village! The night is all printed red!
Ling Xiao retreated, looking at the fire outside the village, a crackling sound sounded, and there seemed to be something beating inside the fire.
The flower snake was completely blocked by the fire, and did not dare to approach even half a step.
"Warrior, thank you this time, it's good that you stayed, otherwise the village would be finished." The village chief said gratefully.
"Brother Ling Xiao, you are so powerful." Little Stone said excitedly.
"Thank you, Warrior."
"Helper!"
……
The surrounding villagers all looked at Ling Xiao with their fists clenched gratefully, which made the latter a little embarrassed.
"You're welcome." Ling Xiao scratched his head and said.
The fire is still burning, "Will this fire affect the village?" Ling Xiao frowned, the flames that rushed to the sky made the temperature in the village rise a lot.
The village chief said: "No, there is nothing but dirt in the burned part of the fire, not even hay, and the fire will stop when the wine is burned." ”
Ling Xiao nodded slightly.
Ten minutes later, a person came running from not far away and muttered happily: "Village chief, the snake tide has receded!" The snake tide has receded! ”
"The snake tide has receded! Europe! The villagers cheered! It's the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe!
The little stone kept shaking Ling Xiao's arm excitedly!
Ling Xiao smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, although the monsters in the snake tide were of low level, they couldn't stand the large number, the monster group finally retreated, and he was also relieved.
There are already many people in the village who have been injured and stained with snake venom, but they are all slight toxins, compared with the toxins of Xiaoshi's father, they are simply insignificant, and the village chief has each given out a herb, saying that it is an antidote to snake venom.
As the village chief said, after half an hour, the fire gradually went out.
The area around the village has become a scorched earth, and the corpse of the flower snake emits a pungent and unpleasant smell.
Some able-bodied villagers are burying them with new soil to cover up.
"Warrior, dare to ask, are you a paladin of the Empire?" The village chief asked respectfully.
Ling Xiao glanced at the village chief in surprise, how would he know? But still nodded slightly.
Seeing Ling Xiao nodding his head, the village chief said with a little excitement: "I went to the imperial capital once when I was young, and I saw a paladin with a golden light flashing exactly like you. ”
"Lord Paladin, there have been many offenses before, please do not blame." The village chief said respectfully.
"It's fine." Ling Xiao shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't mind.
"Can you tell me about the snake tide?" Ling Xiao asked. 117
"Snake tide?" The village chief hesitated.
Ling Xiao said: "Since you know that there will be a snake tide once a month, why don't you move away?" Or why not tackle this snake tide? Is there no solution, completely eradicated? ”
The village chief smiled bitterly: "Our village has lived here for hundreds of years, how can we say that we can move it, and where can we move it." ”
"That snake tide can't be solved? Do you have to be so scared every month? Ling Xiao frowned.
The village chief hesitated and did not speak.
Seeing this, Ling Xiao's face was a little serious and said, "Village Chief, don't you believe in the Holy Empire's Paladin?" ”
"No, no." The village chief hurriedly waved his hand.
He immediately sighed and said, "This all starts from the forbidden cave." ”
"Forbidden Cave?" This is the second time Ling Xiao has heard this word.
Xiao Shi stood beside Ling Xiao and looked very curious, he only knew that the forbidden cave was related to the survival of the village, and he didn't know the inside story.
A pair of big eyes also looked at Ling Xiao curiously, what is a paladin? How can the village chief and grandfather be so respectful? So much change?
The village chief said slowly: "I listened to what my grandfather said about the things in the forbidden cave, that is, the first two village chiefs. ”
"The flower snakes in the snake tide all came out of the forbidden hole."
"What!?" Ling Xiao was stunned.
Including the villagers, Xiao Shi was stunned! Obviously, even they don't know about this.
"Grandpa the village chief, you have always told us that the life and death of the village are related to the life and death of the village in the forbidden cave, but why is this flower snake in the forbidden cave?" Small Stone Road.
The village chief said slowly: "There are two big snakes in the forbidden cave, these flower snakes are all bred by them, and the two big snakes can't come out of the hole, so these flower snakes will be sent out every month to hunt back." ”
"In my memory, my grandfather told me that the big snake is about ten meters long, and any one of them can destroy the village, and the reason why the big snake can't get out of the hole is because there is a herb in the cave that can restrain them, otherwise our village would have been finished long ago."
"This is also something I have never mentioned to you, I don't want you to go to the forbidden cave to destroy the herbs, otherwise once the big snake comes out, the village will have no life."
Ling Xiao listened to the village chief's words, but his heart moved! Herbs? There are even herbs in the forbidden cave, and they can restrain the big snake! Could it be the Tranquility Grass?
Of course, this is just Ling Xiao's speculation, but at least there are some clues and a little thought.
"Village Chief, what if we kill those two big snakes?" Some villagers said.
The village chief shook his head and said: "We can't do it with our strength, Xiao Shi's father just went to the forbidden cave to kill the big snake, but he was poisoned by the snake in his body, and he almost didn't come out." ”
"What, daddy him." Little Stone was stunned.
The village chief blamed himself: "This is also my fault, I know that the big snake is powerful, and I let your father in." ”
For a while, the villagers were speechless, the forbidden cave was actually related to the snake tide, and there were two big snakes in the forbidden cave infinitely giving birth to snake eggs and giving birth to flower snakes, which was simply a shadow.
Ling Xiao's eyes flashed and said, "Village Chief, is it possible to kill the two big snakes and the village will be able to go on safely?" ”
"As long as the big snakes die, those flower snakes will be fine if they are trapped in the cave and burned clean, the main thing is these two big snakes." The village chief said.
The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth curled and smiled: "Village Chief, I think I can try it." ”
"You!?" The village chief was stunned.
Some of the surrounding villagers and Xiao Shi all looked at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao nodded and smiled: "I went to the forbidden cave and killed those two big snakes, but I have one condition. ”
"On what terms?" The village chief asked.
"I want to ban the herbs in the cave!" Ling Xiao said slowly.
