Chapter 1: Eccentric
When the storm is about to sweep through the world, Raksu and Su Luo arrive here. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
They all looked very young, with Su Luo being a little older, and although the name was a bit feminine, he was generally a good young man.
The two of them stood on the hillside, looking at the sparsely populated area with few buildings, and the first thing they noticed was a cityβan ancient Chinese-style city.
"Looks like everything is going well, let's get moving." Su Luo said to his partner next to him.
"Wait a minute." Rakuchi closed his eyes and opened them after a moment, "Alright, there is indeed something we are looking for here." β
Then the two of them went down the hill and walked towards the city......
This is the place known as the Kingdom of Jing, and the royal city of the Kingdom of Jing is under the mountain.
The royal city is quite lively, and the news of the monster infestation in the depths of the mountains has spread, and it is rumored that it is a thousand-year-old snake, guarding many treasures, including a rare treasure of great value.
Originally, this thousand-year-old monster had been sleeping for a long time, but the hunters who had recently gone up the mountain to hunt discovered the cave where the great snake hid its treasure, which disturbed the big guy.
Although the hunters were alert and mostly escaped with their lives, the serpent did not seem to want to sleep any longer, and began to eat, turning the nearby mountains and forests upside down.
This big basilisk eats quite a lot, and as it eats, it begins to expand its foraging range, so that the nearby residents are also at risk, and if they don't leave, they may die in the mouth of the snake one day.
"Is this treasure guarded by the serpent what we're looking for?"
Su Luo and Le Ji had already stayed in the inn in the city, and were eating and chatting in the house.
"Nine times out of ten, even if it's not, it's something else worth a trip." β
"Why don't we wait for the news to be confirmed before we take action, anyway, if something like this happens, the monarchs and ministers of Jing will definitely take action." Su Luo suggested.
"This is a matter of human life, and dealing with that big basilisk is just a gesture for you, so let's not waste time."
"Not necessarily, the basilisk doesn't sound like it's the usual two, and even if I can deal with it, it must be a very troublesome thing." Su Luo still didn't have much energy, "Besides, the big snake is also a living being, and killing it is also a life." β
Le Ji looked at Su Luo suspiciously for a while, and then said, "You just don't think it's troublesome, what are you doing with all this nonsense?!" I'm not asking you to sacrifice yourself as a human being, but to help others without hindering your own work, you won't even be unwilling to do this kind of thing, right? β
Su Luo had no choice but to agree to go, and he was indeed not the kind of person who didn't help by the way.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Although the two of them had decided to go, they still had to inquire about the situation and prepare some dry food and necessary utensils.
A few days later, just as the two were about to leave, a notice was posted in the city: the king had sent a team to retreat the snake, and at the same time encouraged the people who were able to go and make meritorious deeds, not only to obtain treasures, but also to reward the court.
"And there's a reward! Maybe something will work for us? Listen to me. Le Ji said happily to Su Luo.
"It's just a nice thing to say, since you haven't said it explicitly, it's definitely not a good thing, maybe you will take the opportunity to ask for the treasure of the big snake."
Leji's hunch was often very accurate, but Su Luo felt that this time it was just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, because when she persuaded her to go, she didn't say anything about additional rewards.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The old nest of the big snake is in a big mountain called Suishan, and it has nothing to do in the deep mountains and old forests, but with the development of the land by the Jing people, the nearby city has also begun to be built, and many people have lived at the foot of the mountain.
Le Ji and Su Luo stayed in the village at the foot of the mountain for a few more days, and inquired about some news, but the situation was not optimistic.
It is said that many people have tried to destroy the basilisk to obtain treasures and rewards, but all of them have failed, and those who are lucky have escaped with their lives, and those who are unlucky have not returned.
"Isn't it just a big snake? Is it that powerful? Su Luo asked the owner of the grocery store.
The other party snorted and replied: "The basilisk can summon snake warriors, although there are not many of them, but this guy himself is very powerful, ordinary people really can't deal with it." You're young, so it's best not to take risks. Only by waiting for the imperial court to send a large army to besiege it, I don't think the people sent before will be good, they are worse than some powerful hunters. β
"Snake man samurai?" Su Luo was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked again: "Boss, do you know that the lower half of this snake man warrior is snake-shaped, or does he walk upright on his legs?" β
"This ...... Not much difference, right?! The boss thought for a moment before he replied solemnly: "According to the people who fled back, they move on their legs, but they also have tails. β
"I see!" Su Luo nodded and said, "This opportunity is very rare, we still have to try our skills, do you have any other useful news?" β
"That's all, but ...... There are still a lot of people to deal with the big basilisk and snake man samurai, and you don't have enough manpower, so it's best to wait and find some suitable people to go in a group, maybe there is still a chance. "The owner kindly suggested.
"The map is up to date." Su Luo glanced at the map and said, "It's still too troublesome to form a team, the two of us are going to try our luck, and we will return if we encounter difficulties." β
"It's easy to say, but I'm afraid you won't be able to come back if you want to. At a young age, it is important to make money and start a family, but it is still fate! β
Hearing "Becoming a Family", Le Ji was even more uncomfortable staying, she didn't want to waste time here, and secretly pulled Rasulo's clothes. Su Luo understood what Le Ji meant, he wrapped up the things he bought, and said goodbye to the boss and left.
"What are you doing so carefully?" Le Ji complained as he walked along the road, "Our ability to deal with the big basilisk is more than enough, there is nothing to be afraid of." β
"It's always good to be careful and be prepared. And you know I'm a little afraid of creatures without hands and legs, a huge snake is better, if there are a lot of snakes crawling around, I don't think even half of the combat power can be played. As he spoke, Su Luo's expression became serious.
"I know that! I've always been cautious, but why do you talk so much to the grocery store owner? He doesn't know about us either. β
"It's just an ordinary chat set, in fact, I'm quite unaccustomed to it, but you're a girl, and it's even more inconvenient to come forward to do this kind of thing, so I can only do it."
The two chatted and chatted and arrived at the temporary residence, preparing to set off the next day to go to the mountains to kill snakes and seize treasures......
