Chapter 6 The Price of Cheating Demon Snake Night Attack

After a beautiful victory, Mo Wen directly led the assembled soldiers to return to Jiang Guo - it was not that he didn't want to chase and kill the nearly 1,000 Yang Guo deserters. But Yang Guo's large army is behind, and the situation will be reversed if you are not careful...... Even if the probability is not high, Mo Wen does not want to take risks.

[Those who are content are always happy, and those hundreds of generic points Lao Tzu don't want. Mo Wen sat comfortably on the chariot, counting the gains that this war had brought to him.

"Hint: You have successfully completed the side quest - to defeat the invading Yang Vanguard Army head-on. The battle-damaged soldiers are about 10%, and the evaluation is perfect, and a total of one Silver Traveler Medal and 3,000 general points are obtained. (It's a bit of a trick, but you did succeed in winning the war...... But is it really a big man to use spells so unscrupulously? You must know the world, so be careful not to get into other unnecessary troubles. οΌ‰

[This should be a warning...... It seems that the next time you fight, you won't use spells lightly? But if you don't use spells, how can Jiang Guo's rookies be the opponents of Yang Guo's gang. Mo Wen shook his head. [Forget it, I don't want to do this...... It's harvest season, hehe, let me see how many GM points I've earned. 】

[Three chariots, thirty-three elite Yang soldiers, and seventy-one ordinary Yang soldiers...... Hehe, 100 people were killed. Mo Wen smiled, and then suddenly. [Also, at that time in the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, a two-star hero, could kill a hundred people...... Now that I'm a three-star hero, I shouldn't be worse than him. 】

[Well, let me see...... Well, the elite Yang soldiers fluctuate up and down at the 11 o'clock universal point, and the ordinary ones are around 5 o'clock. Don't ask one by one, flipping through the prompts.

[, why did this guy only give a little? It's not going to drag the relationship in. Mo Wen rolled his eyes.

[Well, one hundred and ninety-four points for three chariots, three hundred and sixty-one points for thirty-three elites, and three hundred and seventy-seven points for seventy-one ordinary vehicles. Idle and bored, Mo Wen counted his wealth like a miser. 【…… There is a total of one gold medal, one silver medal, and 4932 universal points. 】

[Is it really a murder and arson gold belt...... So am I going to find a few travelers and do them secretly? I guess I'm the strongest of these travelers. Mo Wen hugged Yunying, and many dark thoughts involuntarily flashed through his mind.

[Forget it...... Even if I used to be one of the strongest, I won't necessarily be the strongest in this low-star era. Especially the guys who play with cursed yin. Thinking of the spell master who killed people thousands of miles away, Mo Wen secretly shrunk his neck. [Besides, those guys didn't provoke me, and I don't have any reason to deprive them of their lives.] 】

[Well, according to my train of thought, if I were to kill 10 million unrelated people, or I would die, would I not hesitate to swing my butcher's knife. Thinking of this, Mo Wen once again confirmed his attributes. [Sure enough, I'm an extremely selfish person...... But if that time really existed, would I really swing the butcher's knife without hesitation? Will I be able to carry the weight of those tens of millions of lives and live? Maybe...... I'm not as strong and cold as I thought I was. 】

[However, what if I want to exchange my life for the resurrection of my parents? Will I say yes? Mo Wen constantly tortured his mind. [I am nostalgic for the warmth and care my parents gave me when I was a child...... Or do you care if your father and mother are happy? They have given me my life, and they are very good parents. 】

"I ...... Maybe yes. Mo Wen's eyes were confused, and he couldn't help but say the answer in his heart, but he immediately buried his forehead deep in the shadows.

[But does this answer make sense?] Don't ask and grit your teeth. [Mom and Dad have left forever...... Even those as strong as the Void can't resurrect them. 】

[So what am I struggling with?] 】

……

And just when Mo Wen was looking for trouble, a gentle friction sound sounded from the forest.

Two minutes later, a low cry woke up Mo Wen, who was drilling the tip of the bull's horns.

"General, there's a snake on the side of the road!" A soldier ran up to Mo Wen with a panicked expression.

"You big men are still afraid of snakes?" Mo Wen glared at him unhappily: "It's okay to hack to death." ”

"But the general...... That's a bunch of snakes, not one. ”

"Hint: You've triggered the side quest - Attack on the Serpents."

"Quest content: Because you used Dao magic on the battlefield during the day today, a demon snake that has been practicing for more than a hundred years noticed your existence. Note that the flesh and blood of a cultivator is the best food for monsters, you should understand what it wants to do, right? Kill this eyeless monster! (This is the price you pay for using Dao to achieve victory.) οΌ‰

"Difficulty: Normal." (This big snake is really not stronger than you, people have snake children and snake grandchildren, and you also have an army, don't you?) But be careful that too many casualties in the army will affect the subsequent mission. οΌ‰

"Mission reward: 1 Bronze Traveler Medal, 1000 universal points." (No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat, juvenile.) οΌ‰

"Failure penalty: deduct a bronze medal, 2000 universal points." (Forget about dying in battle, cowards who flee without a fight are ready to bleed!) οΌ‰

【…… Hey! Isn't this forcing me to go head-to-head with this group of poisons? Mo Wen stood up decisively and rushed to where the soldier was, and the cloud shadow slashed down at him, in his terrified gaze...... Cut off the head of a small snake that flew towards him.

"Hint: You killed the poisonous snake White-lipped Bamboo Leaf Green and gained 48 generic points."

[, it's so valuable...... Isn't that a credit for me! Mo Wen's eyes lit up, and he immediately regained his clarity. [No, if there are too many poisonous snakes, it will definitely cause a lot of casualties to the army...... Since the quest says that the snake is no stronger than me, and wants to eat me, I'll stay here as bait. 】

[If you really can't do it, use the earth escape charm to escape, anyway, I have enough points.] Thinking of this, Mo Wen shouted loudly: "The whole army is speeding up, don't care about the long worms on the side of the road, hurry up and return to Jiangcheng." ”

After patting the frightened Jiang soldier and telling him to be careful in the future, Mo Wen pulled Chen Jiang who had just passed by his side and advised: "I'll stay here for something, you take the troops back to Jiang City first." ”

"But the general ......"

"Have you seen so many snakes?" Mo Wen pointed to the grass not far away: "These things are eyeing me, you go first, staying here will distract me!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be! Chen Jiang gave Mo Wen a deep look, and then went away with the army.

Seeing the last soldier disappear into his vision, Mo Wen took off his heavy armor and changed into the sky-blue robe in the storage space.

[Hehe...... I don't know how many generic points I can earn this time? Mo Wen took a deep breath, raised the cloud shadow, and closed his eyes.

……

In late spring and early summer, the sun disappeared from the horizon at about seven o'clock, and night soon covered the land.

The night breeze was light, the soft moonlight sprinkled on this dirt road, and countless snakes surrounded Mo Wen, hissing and whispering, but none of the snakes dared to attack Mo Wen.

[There are so many one-star guys...... Hey, there's a two-star here. By the light of the moon, Mo Wen could easily spot the poisonous snakes that were probing their brains in the grass. [This amount is a bit tricky...... If I were a four-star, killing these guys wouldn't be a no-brainer. But now that I can't resist the sword, I don't have a good way to attack in groups. 】

"Hiss...... Hiss ......"

Just as Mo Wen was thinking about countermeasures, the snakes were in a commotion, and then more than a dozen poisonous tongues that were far away from Mo Wen pounced towards Mo Wen in their center as if they had received some order.

[It seems that the main master has arrived...... Or maybe it can't help it? Mo Wen pondered, the cloud shadow in his hand danced like a cloud, and those poisonous snakes gave away their lives under the inconspicuous gray sword light of the cloud shadow, but these ferocious creatures did not have the slightest fear, crawling over the corpses of their companions and attacking Mo Wen without stopping.

[It seems that this demon snake should be a nocturnal snake. casually put down a circle of flames around his body, and looked at the poisonous snakes that were afraid to move forward, Mo Wen's eyes narrowed. [I don't know what kind of breed it will be?] 】

"Shhh

The six two-star poisonous snakes that had been lurking around Mo Wen for a long time launched an attack on Mo Wen together, and they already had a little Taoism, enduring the scorching heat of the flames, and raised their sharp fangs at Mo Wen.

"Drink!" Mo Wen Yunying waved sharply, cut off the heads of three poisonous snakes in a row, copied it with his left hand, held the head of a poisonous snake and then pinched it to death without hesitation, the light red snake blood splashed out, and then Mo Wen's left hand waved violently, and directly used its corpse as a whip to whip away another two-star poisonous snake that passed through the flames; With his left foot raised, he stepped the last two-star serpent into the ground without hesitation.

At this moment, a shadow with a golden light flew out of the grass and approached Mo Wen's cheek.

[Hmph, it's finally waiting for you.] Mo Wen didn't laugh back, and his left hand, which was stained with snake blood, was lightly raised.

"On the middle void flame, the art of incineration!"

A pillar of golden-red fire shot out at the golden shadow, quickly drowning its figure in flames.

[This should be enough for it to feel good.] Summoning a little water to wash away his left hand stained with disgusting slime, Mo Wen looked warily at the grass where the golden shadow fellβ€”he didn't believe that the task would be so easy.

Just as Mo Wen thought, with a slight friction sound, a large snake at least four meters long, with the thickness of an adult's calf and covered with golden scale armor, slowly crawled out of the grass, its cold vertical pupils glowing with greed and anger.

Golden Scale Demon Snake: Three-star elite, named after this beautiful golden scale armor, of course, this golden scale armor is not a decoration, soft and extremely tough, ordinary swords will only leave a mark on it, with outstanding defense they are natural hunters, and they also love to fight with the enemy hand-to-hand...... Jin is not enough, no one is perfect, and the golden armor snake with outstanding attack and defense is not poisonous at all. Of course, they don't need to use poison, and their sharp fangs and tough scale armor are a nightmare for their enemies. (A little monster who has just entered the demon path...... The demon clan with a bit of Taoism will definitely not attack the monk easily. οΌ‰

[The shape of this snake is too domineering...... The golden glitter in the snake? Mo Wen grinned. [I didn't expect it to be a non-venomous snake with a large group of venomous snakes, I knew that I would let it bite and give it a hard slap just now, maybe I could directly kill this beast in seconds......]

"Hiss!" The golden-scaled demon snake that had been grilled by the spiritual power flame was obviously a little more afraid of Mo Wen, but the desire to become stronger quickly shattered the fear in its heart, and the overlord of this snake group did not hesitate to issue an order to his remaining subordinates.

But no snake dared to step beyond the thunder poolβ€”the fear of fire was not something that this group of one-star fellows could overcome.

"Hiss!" The golden-scaled demon snake roared twice, and its golden tail swung down towards a nearby poisonous snake, slicing it in two like a sharp blade.

The snakes were in a commotion, and then charged towards Mo Wen in the fire circle with a tragic momentum.

【…… This flame can at best injure these snakes, but it can't burn them to death, does it make these cannon fodder want to consume my physical strength? Mo Wen took a deep breath and flew out with his right leg, leaving a clear footprint on the land. [Capture the thief and capture the king first!] It's a pity that I can't continue to brush points......]

"Ang!" The golden-scaled demon snake roared and pounced on Mo Wen.

"Drink!" Mo Wen raised the cloud shadow and stabbed at the head of the golden-scaled demon snake, but the demon snake obviously knew the sharpness of the cloud shadow, so it directly bent it, and its long tail swept towards Mo Wen's legs.

Mo Wen, who had seen the golden scale demon snake standing mighty, naturally would not be hit hard, and when he saw a sword piercing the air, Mo Wen directly jumped back, his gestures changed again and again, ready to give the golden scale demon snake another Dao technique.

But what Mo Wen didn't expect was that the golden-scaled demon snake was extremely fast, and it flew over when Mo Wen jumped back.

The huge head of the golden-scaled demon snake was getting closer and closer, its sharp fangs glistening in the light of the fire and the moonlight, and Mo Wen could already smell the fishy smell coming from his face.

[It seems that the physique of this demon snake is three-star, and its speed is indeed much faster than mine...... But my brother doesn't rely on hand-to-hand combat to eat. Facing the demon snake that was close at hand, Mo Wen raised his left hand: "Condensation!" ”

The ice-blue water flowed, and the moisture in the atmosphere gathered rapidly, instantly sealing the head of the demon snake in the ice...... Then, according to Newton's first law, the frozen head of the demon snake slammed directly into Mo Wen's chest with the huge inertia of its previous charge.

"Ugh!" Taking two steps back, Mo Wen only felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had been smashed with a giant hammer. But at this time, he couldn't hesitate, the ice block that sealed the head of the golden-scaled demon snake cracked open at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his unrestrained body also tightly wrapped around Mo Wen's waist, and just as it was about to break through the ice, the cloud shadow swept from top to bottom like the god of death in the underworld, and a hideous snake head covered with ice slag flew out sideways.

"Hint: You have successfully killed the Golden Scale Demon Serpent (3 Star Elite) and obtained a Bronze Medal with 500 universal points."

"Hint: You have successfully completed the mission - Attack on the Serpents, and receive a Bronze Medal with 1000 universal points."

"Hint: The remaining value of defeating or killing enemies needs to be collected by the traveler himself, and this system will not do it for you."

"Hey...... It's going to be a butcher for a while. "After more than ten years of fighting in the Zhuxian world, Mo Wen also has a lot of experience in dealing with this kind of loot, first summoned water to wash away the snake blood on his face, and Mo Wen looked at the corpse of the demon snake." Let me see what's good in you. ”

The group of snakes that had lost their leader had scattered in all directions, Mo Wen gently picked up the head of the snake that was still carrying ice chips and looked at it, took off the pair of eyeballs and threw it aside, and then walked to the slender body of the demon snake.

[Well, this scale armor should be somewhat useful. Mo Wen knocked on the thin scales of this demon snake and nodded with satisfaction. [Peel off this batch first, and when the time comes, go back to Jiang Guo and ask Long Yang to help make a scale armor, so I don't have to wear that big iron lump.] 】

Thinking of it, Mo Wen picked up the cloud shadow and carefully peeled off the scale armor of the demon snake, and then, the snake skin, which was five meters long and more than one meter wide, had attributes in Mo Wen's eyes.

Golden Snakeskin: A three-star grade material that can be used for sacrifice or directly crafted into armor.

[Hmm...... That's right! Looking at the bloody snake corpse, Mo Wen suddenly thought of something he had forgotten. [Snake gallbladder is such a good thing...... Old man Jin can say that this thing has eaten a lot of supplements. This is a demon snake, maybe there is a Nedan ......]

But when Mo Wen searched the remaining snake corpses inch by inch, he only got the standard configuration of snake gall bladder, and there was no shadow of Neidan or anything.

[It's not scientific, the demon snake in the Xianxia world actually doesn't have Neidan. Mo Wen pursed his lips and looked at the huge dark green irregular round object in his hand.

The snake gall of the Golden Scale Demon Snake: Three-star materials (props), the place where the essence of the Golden Scale Demon Snake gathers, you can use it to refine some strange elixirs; It can also be swallowed directly, it can improve your physique, of course, there are some toxic side effects, but the effect is not great; Finally, you can absorb the aura and use it for cultivation.

[This trip is worth it, more than 2,000 universal points, two bronze medals and this thing that can be used for cultivation. Mo Wen put the snake gall back into the space with a smile on his face, then changed into the bulky armor, picked up the snake skin and rushed back to Jiang Guo.
