Chapter 21: The Land of the Serpent of the Zodiac Kingdom

The Land of the Serpent is located in the south-east of the Zodiac Kingdom, 80% of the area is plains, the rest is mountainous, there is a river flowing down from the high mountains in the center of the continent, through the capital of the kingdom, to the South China Sea.

There are twelve zodiac countries on the continent where the zodiac kingdom is located, and the zodiac country that currently dominates the twelve zodiac kingdoms is the country of snakes, and the king of the snake country is a golden python, a hundred meters long, entrenched on the throne all day long, and no one has ever seen him come down.

The country of the zodiac that ruled the kingdom of the zodiac in the previous life was the country of dragons.

Hundreds of years ago, the Zodiac Kingdom prospered under the leadership of the Dragon Country, everyone was rich and noble, but the Dragon Son of the Dragon Country met the Tiger Son of the Tiger Country, because the two (people here do not refer to human beings, the same below) encountered a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum at the same time, in order to get the Millennium Ganoderma lucidum, the two of them fought, no one was willing to give it up, and finally the Dragon Son accidentally killed the Son of the Tiger, for fear of being seen, and fled back to the Dragon Country in a hurry. After the body of the Son of the Tiger was discovered, the King of the Tiger Country, the Golden Retriever Tiger King, who was also the uncle of the dead Son of the Tiger, the King of the Tiger Country, the Golden Retriever Tiger King, based on the wounds of the Son of the Tiger and the traces of the fight at the scene, basically determined that it was the people of the Dragon Country who did it.

When the Dragon Country heard this, he was furious, saying that the Tiger Country had wronged good people without evidence, and the Tiger Country wanted to use the death of the Tiger Son to break away from the rule of the Dragon Country.

When the Tiger Country heard this, he was even more angry, saying that the Dragon Country simply confuses right and wrong, distorts the facts, and is full of nonsense.

The king of the Dragon Country, the old dragon king Shishu Golden Dragon, stood up and wanted to talk to the king of the Tiger Country, the Golden Retriever Tiger King, in person.

When the king of the Tiger Country, the Golden Retriever Tiger King, saw the King of the Dragon Country, the old dragon king, the Ten Whiskers Golden Dragon, he first lowered his head, and then raised his head, with a determined look in his eyes that did not give in.

Little Tiger, do you have any evidence that my people did it?

The old dragon king floated on the white clouds, unable to see his limbs, his slender beard fluttering in the wind, and his bright eyes looked down on the king of the tiger country.

I have a witness!

The voice of the king of the Tiger Country shook the heavens and the earth and spread, and the races of the other Zodiac Kingdoms entrenched below heard it.

As an old dragon king, the son of the dragon, who didn't know how many generations of great-grandsons, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his expression became nervous.

Oh? Do you have a witness? Could you please come up?

The old dragon king nodded.

The Golden Retriever Tiger King nodded back into the distance, and after a while, a majestic Tiger General stepped forward, followed by a small mouse.

The little mouse has grown so big that he has seen this battle, his legs have long been frightened, and he doesn't dare to raise his head.

Don't be afraid, little mouse. You tell the old dragon king what you saw that day, tell me in detail.

The tiger whispered in front of the little mouse.

The little mouse nodded, then took two steps forward, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, then stood up, and began to describe what he had seen and heard that day.

The old dragon king listened attentively.

Can you guarantee that everything you say is true?

The old dragon king lowered his head and looked at the little mouse on the ground.

The little mouse nodded vigorously.

Although I don't know where you found this little mouse, since he dared to stand up bravely, then his words can't help but be taken seriously.

Then the son of the dragon was called.

The son of the dragon refused to admit it, and said that the little mouse was lying.

The old dragon king already knew the result from the dragon's panicked expression and the slight tremor when he spoke, but he needed the dragon's son to admit it himself, so he called someone to come up and take the dragon's son down and lock him up.

Although the son of the dragon has been imprisoned, the tiger king wants revenge, wants to pay for his life, and wants the son of the dragon to pay for his life.

The old dragon king stretched out his forelimbs and pressed down, signaling the tiger not to get excited, calm his mood, and told him that he would definitely give him a fair punishment.

Although the tiger will not be allowed to see the result for a while, since the old dragon king has said so, the king's face still has to be given.

After that, the son of the dragon killed the guards on the way to his captivity, and fled.

The old dragon king ordered the search for the escaped dragon son and issued a nationwide wanted notice.

The Son of the Dragon escaped from the Land of Dragons and headed west into the Land of Serpents, then went into hiding.

The Land of the Tiger sent an army to join forces with the military sent by the Land of the Dragon to enter the Land of the Snake.

The whole country of the snake was in a panic, shouting that he had entered the territory of his own tribe without the permission of the snake country, which not only violated the laws of the kingdom, but also trampled on the dignity of the snake country, and said that he would rise up to resist, so he organized his army to surround the army of the country of the dragon and the country of the tiger, the two sides were deadlocked, and the old dragon king came out to explain that he still could not satisfy the king of the country of the snake, the golden python, and wanted to get compensation, and asked for 100 million gold stones as soon as he opened his mouth (the common currency of the kingdom of the zodiac, which can be exchanged for the currency of the country of the zodiac, The exchange ratio is 1 to 10), the old dragon king is definitely unwilling, so he discussed with the king of the tiger country, the golden retriever tiger king, to give up the search for the traitor dragon son first, and withdraw the army to his country. The Tiger King thought about it and could only give up.

At this time, the golden python came out and told the old dragon king that he had heard about the son of the dragon, and said that he could let their army stay, but on one condition, he recommended his henchmen to serve as important positions in the dragon clan.

The old dragon king thought about it and rejected the giant python's conditions, saying that it was impossible to want an important position, and it could only be the dragon clan that could hold the important position, not any other race.

Seeing that the old dragon king refused without hesitation, the giant python was really a little unexpected, so he was ready to lower the conditions, but the old dragon king didn't want to talk anymore, so he left directly with his army.

The golden python looked at the departing army, his eyes narrowed, and only he knew what was going on in his heart.

The Son of the Dragon secretly meets with the Golden Monty Python and tells him a shocking secret.

Although there are several giant tigers protecting him, the little mouse is still very worried, on the one hand, he is worried that the Dragon Kingdom will kill him, and on the other hand, he is afraid that he will be isolated by people after returning to the land of the rat, and he is unwilling to make friends with him.

It wasn't long before his idea was fulfilled, but it wasn't the Dragonlands who wanted to kill him, but the Assassins from the Serpent Nations. The situation happened very suddenly, a dozen thick and long black snakes suddenly came out of the grass on the side of the road, and in the blink of an eye, they knocked out all the tiger guards.

When the little mouse woke up, he saw the son of the dragon smiling at him.

The little mouse thought that his death was coming, and he was directly frightened, and the yellow urine flowed all over the ground, so that the son of the dragon quickly waved his hand and took the little mouse down.

Are you sure it has something to do with this little mouse?

At this time, the golden python came out of the darkness and looked at the two bearded black dragons of the dragon's son.

That's right, you have to trust me, and you'll know when the time comes, by the way, how are the materials prepared?

The two-bearded black dragon rubbed his hands together and looked at the python with a smile.

The python opened its mouth and spat out a cloth bag on the ground.

The two-bearded black dragon picked up the bag and opened it to take a look, smiling happily.

Your Majesty, rest assured, you will not be disappointed!

After saying that, the two-bearded black dragon retired.

The golden python looked at the back of the two-bearded black dragon and squinted again.

The little mouse was put in a black cell, which was stinking and covered with weeds, and a lot of feces could be faintly seen sticking to it. The little mouse went to the corner, sat down on the ground, and began to cry slowly. After crying for a while, I heard someone coming, and when I looked up, I saw a snake biting a plate in its mouth, and the snake put the plate on the ground and asked the little mouse to come and eat. Although it was dark in the cell, I could still see the sticky clumps on the plates, and I really didn't have an appetite to go over. The snake saw too many such people, so he didn't say anything, and turned away.

After the snake was gone, the cell fell silent again, and the little mouse couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.

Hey, buddy, what's wrong with you?

At this time, the inmate next door was holding the pillar and looking at the little mouse.

The little mouse looked up and saw that it was a calf, did not speak, and then buried his head in sobbing. He wanted to go home, to go back to the past, how he wished he hadn't been curious to see any fights, but that's how it happened. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to scold myself, why was I so unlucky, why was I so stupid.

Hey, buddy, you're from the Land of Rats, right?

The calf was still asking.

The little mouse still didn't look up at the calf.

The calf is from the country of the cow and is ready to say that he was born in the country of the cow and grew up in the country of the snake, more precisely until now, because he has not grown up yet.

Hehe, do you know how I knew you were from the Land of Rats? From the moment you came in, I knew it. Look at your little body, your pointed nose, your tiny ears, and your incredibly long tail, plus your black fur, tsk, isn't that right, am I right, quick, tell me, you're from the land of rats!

The more the calf spoke, the more excited he became, and he stretched out his little hooves and pointed at the little mouse.

A pointed nose?

When the little mouse heard the calf describe his face, he couldn't help but look up at the calf.

yes, I'm from the Land of Rats, you guessed it.

The little mouse wiped his nose, stopped crying, and walked towards the calf.

What did you do? Don't tell me yet, let me guess. Well, I'll take a look. You have a sad face, your limbs are not strong enough, your claws are clean, your belly is not big, and there are no traces of burnt hair on your body. Tsk, it's a bit hard to guess. Wait a minute, I got it.

The calf paced back and forth, glancing at the little mouse from time to time, and suddenly stopped and pointed at the little mouse.

Oh? Tell me about it.

The little mouse's curiosity was piqued.

You are...... Are you because you didn't steal the rice of any snake?

The calf looked at the little mouse with uncertain eyes.

The little mouse smiled and shook his head.

No? Are you sure? All right.

The calf saw the little mouse and nodded.

Forget it, don't guess, it's too much effort. You're an enigmatic rat too lazy to guess.

The Maverick gave up.

The little mouse was about to tell him why he was in a cell, but the thought that he had been locked up because he knew something he shouldn't have known, gave up telling the calf.

Hey, you still don't want to say? Well, guess what's the unseemly. If you don't say it, I won't force it. Now, since you've introduced yourself, I'm going to introduce myself as well. As for me, I was born in the land of cows, and later followed my father to work in the country of snakes, because of my father's negligence, a pillar collapsed, and a snake was injured, so my father and I were locked up.

After the calf finished speaking, he looked at the little mouse with an expectant face.

The sudden silence caught the little mouse a little off guard.

Oh, that's a shame.

The little mouse hurriedly said.

By the way, my name is Shuanghuan Maverick, and I was originally called Erhuan Maverick, but I don't like the number two, so I call myself Shuanghuan, huh?

The calf pointed to its horns, each with a small ring, and a second and third ring as he got older.

I? My name is Bobcat, because I've only now developed a tooth that I can grind, and, you see, I have a short tail too, so that's it.

Oh, I know.

How long have you been here?

Well, it's been about a month.

Aren't they going to let you out?

Probably not, they sentenced me to 10 years and my dad to 30 years, and I wouldn't mind if I could get out of prison so soon.

Decade?! I...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up.

It doesn't matter, I've wanted to open it for a long time, anyway, there is a place to live and eat, and the only deficiency may be that the air is not very good.

You...... Are you planning to escape?

Yes, of course! I didn't do anything to squat in a prison cell for ten years, no one wanted to, I was making trouble at that time, and at the same time looking for a place to make a hole, but unfortunately, after looking for more than half a month, I found out that I was squatting for ten years.

Well, I'll make a hole, I've just learned it in the last few months, let's find a way to get out of here.

Okay! Now, that's the secret of the two of us!

Well!

In order to maintain their strength, the little mouse had to eat the food in the cell, although it was difficult to swallow, but at least it was enough not to get sick.

The little mouse cleaned the cell, cleaned up the feces that had been dry and hard for unknown years, and made a new bed.

The only light in the cell was from the small windows above.

In the past few days, the little mouse has been taken out, and his body has been pricked by various needles, sometimes it hurts and sometimes it itches, and he doesn't feel anything unusual, so he thinks about how to escape from here wholeheartedly.

It had taken a few days for the little mouse to search the place, so to speak, it was an airtight cell, surrounded by walls made of steel, and the floor was also the same, and there was no place that could be gnawed on by itself.

The little mouse is a very intelligent mouse, and he has thought of a good way to do it as a lover of chemistry.

Every time the snake came to deliver food, he would ask for a glass of water, and then hide the food, and although he could not eat enough, he would not starve to death.

After accumulating over time, the little mouse finally discovered the abnormality, and whenever he exerted force, he would find that his limbs would suddenly swell, and his strength would become very strong, but it only lasted for more than ten seconds before he retracted, and then there was a headache, and he was unconscious again.

Using the stored water and food, the little mouse creates an acidic liquid that slowly corrodes steel.

The mouse gave the calf some of the acidic liquid.

In this way, one night, the little mouse and the calf escaped, and the two returned to the land of the rat together.
