Volume 1 The Chili Sauce Smuggler Won't Meet the Waste Witch Chapter 69 The Disadvantages of Not Mending the Knife
How many years has this island existed? Probably no one knows. Even the creatures that inhabit the island themselves don't remember exactly how long it was.
The same is true of the python, which has been living on the island for an unknown amount of time, and has even begun to forget the concept of time. If it weren't for the first human to set foot on this land, the Sword Warrior, who taught it the language and told it the common sense of the continent, it probably wouldn't have gotten chatting with Ania like this and allowing Ania to breathe, right?
After all, although this python is very old, it doesn't know how insidious humans are, especially for Ania who can betray friends at will and treat human life as a consumable in humans, it didn't choose to kill Ania immediately It was definitely the biggest mistake in its life.
"The two of us were evenly matched, and then he settled on the island for a while...... He taught us humans on the island the language and taught us how to calculate time. We...... became friends. The python didn't notice that while it was talking to itself, Strey, who should have been stunned in the back, was quietly getting up, grabbing the Benin Zakula, who was scattered not far away, and tiptoeing out of the hole.
Ania still pretended to be listening to the python, but in fact her mind was full of thoughts about how to escape from under the python's nose.
According to the book, Aniah's teacher has used an enchantment to trap the python in the cave, and the python cannot leave the cave entrance. Although it was difficult to escape under the nose of the python, what was even worse for Ania now was the poisonous gas in the cave - although it had only been more than five minutes now, Ania realized that the so-called ten minutes of death did not mean that there would be no problems in less than ten minutes.
Although his mouth and nose were sealed with a wet cloth, the effect of the poisonous gas had already made Ania feel that his head had become dizzy, and it was estimated that he would not even have the strength to walk after three minutes, right? Gotta find a way to distract this guy and run away.
"And then the Sword Warrior guy has been living with us on the island for over thirty years...... Until one day, he left the island and returned to the mainland after leaving the island with a phrase of 'someone needs me'. ”
The python was still talking, but Ania didn't have the energy to care about that anymore. Although Ania was indeed interested in the matter of the Sword Warrior, no matter how interested she was, it was not as important as her own life.
On the other side, Strey had already crawled out of the cave, also making room for Aniah, and the rest was just thinking about how to get out of the cave.
No, calm down, Ania knows that she is not in the form now, and the more anxious she is, the more she will make mistakes.
And the teacher has taught me before - to think backwards. If you can't escape when you encounter danger, think about how to deal with it.
It was as if Zhen Xiang thought of not letting them leave the cave as soon as possible after knowing that there was poisonous gas in the cave, but made this wet cloth so that they could stay in the cave for a while. Ania should now think about how to stay in the cave longer, so that she can have more time to find a chance to escape, instead of rushing out of the cave to attract the python's attack.
Ania looked at the ice rabbits that had appeared but did not run away, and the only creatures in this space at this time were her, the python and a group of rabbits. The reason why the python is not poisoned is that Ania didn't think about it first, those rabbits can move in this space for so long, there must be some special ability to resist the poisonous gas here, right?
In this world, the most basic difference between monsters and animals is that monsters are capable of using magic. In other words, if you can't use magic, these rabbits are completely ordinary rabbits, and ordinary rabbits will definitely not be able to resist the poisonous gas in this cave.
Ice rabbits are just like their name and can use ice magic, so is magic the armor they use to resist poison gas? But how did those rabbits use magic to resist poison gas......
If you look closely, the rabbits are surrounded by sparkling lights, and they look like snowflakes. Is that magic too? Or do these rabbits have passive skills that come out with special effects?
Naturally, Ania doesn't think so, she believes in magic, and everything in this world can be explained by magic. It's as if Zhen Xiang once believed in science......
Could it be that because they are short, they won't have poisonous gas if they are close to the ground? Ania had heard a similar story from her teacher, except that poison gas was heavier than normal air, so short creatures would inhale poison gas to death. Could it be that the hole is reversed?
Thinking like this, Ania lowered her body slightly, and this action also made the python, who was telling the story to himself, stop and ask, "What are you doing?" ”
"I ...... I was tired from standing and wanted to lie down and rest. Ania said as she lay down on the floor as if she were sleeping in her own house.
Ania was making a bet that the python, who had only seen humans twice in a thousand years, would not kill itself so simply. If the python wanted to attack her, Ania would be able to dodge and run away in an instant...... Probably, right?
But at this point, there was no other choice, and Ania could only try to lie down, if only this would avoid inhaling the poison gas.
The python didn't care, the guy looked like he was scary when he first came out. In fact, it is a "vegetarian animal" who lives by absorbing the magic of the island and has never even tasted the taste of meat.
Ania who was lying down made it look like she continued to listen to the python's story, and the python continued without doubt, it had been in this cave for so long, and there was no one to talk to if it wanted to talk to. The other talking monsters on the island have lost contact for some reason, and it is a snake in this cave and does not know what is going on outside. Now a human finally came in, and it really wanted to have a good conversation with her.
"Then, the Sword Warrior left the island. He told us he would come back in a few years, so we were all waiting for him to come back, hoping that he would stop bothering about human affairs and come back with us...... However, the Sword Warrior has not returned, and the island has welcomed a second human, but that human is not as kind as the Sword Warrior...... It was a vile, shameless man who deceived us with his words and robbed us of countless treasures on the island! ”
Ania knew that it was talking about her teacher, although Ania didn't like it when someone scolded her teacher like this, but at this time, let the teacher help her attract hatred, and then find a way to escape.
The effect of the poison gas did not wane, and Aniah's head was getting heavier and heavier, and it seemed that the rabbits must have used magic to resist the poison gas in this hole.
But if that's the case, it's a bit bad, Ania doesn't necessarily have the magic of the ice rabbits, and there is a slight difference between the magic of monsters and humans. Although it may look the same, there is a huge difference in the actual effect.
Look carefully and understand the reasoning before you take action. This is also what the teacher taught......
Ania was observing the ice rabbits around her, and after the loss of Benin Zakura, the ice rabbits lost their reason to stay in the hole, and a group of rabbits jumped out of the hole.
The point of light around the rabbit fell to the ground just as the rabbit left, like a falling meteor...... Huh? Why did those spots of light fall to the ground?
If you look closely, you can see that even if the rabbit is not moving, there are spots of light scattered on the ground.
"I see!" Ania sat up excitedly, then raised her wand to use her magic.
The python was vigilant: "What do you want to do?" Do you think you can resist now? ”
Ania didn't care that it released a freezing magic around him, and then Ania turned out a white light around him like those ice rabbits, and these bright lights Ania really guessed correctly - this is the poisonous gas permeated in this space, these are all poisonous gases that can be frozen, and those ice rabbits rely on ice magic to freeze all the poisonous gases around them, so they will not be affected by the poisonous gas.
When the python saw it, he understood that no one in this cave could resist the poisonous gas except for himself and those ice rabbits.
Its massive head looked down at Ania and said, "If you feel that you can't stand the poison gas here, you can leave, as long as you leave the flowers, I won't embarrass you." I don't have any special feelings about humans, after all, I was very young when I came to this island, and I didn't understand how much humans were doing to us. As long as you don't bother me, I won't want to hurt you, so ......"
As he said this, the python turned around, it had originally planned for Ania to take the fainted Strray out, but when it turned back, it found that Strey was gone, and the flowers on the ground had been taken away by Strray.
Enraged, the python tried to swallow Ania in one gulp, but Ania recovered a little after isolating the poisonous gas around her, turned around and rushed towards the hole.
"Stop! You despicable villain! ”
Knowing such adjectives as despicable villains, it seems that the brave man of the sword has taught him a lot of words.
But it was too late, Ania reflexively used a miniature flame blast magic to detonate behind her, and the power of the explosion blew Ania into the hole, and Ania used her hands and feet to burrow into the hole, which the python couldn't get into at all, and could only scream hysterically.
