Chapter 37: Good People
Old Luke said that the male snake they had encountered before was a genius like Master Val among the Exploding Snakes. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Brunei was quite unhappy with this analogy, but also understood what he meant.
The male snake was born with more mental power than the other males, so the other blasters were exhausted by using the magic that made the explosion sound once, just like the bald head said, but it still had room to spare after using it twice.
During the spawning period, the male snake creates an explosion on the ground to scare the prey and attract attention, while the female snake that has been lying in ambush at the top of the tree will take the opportunity to descend from the sky and bite the head or neck of the prey. In this way, the toxin will enter the prey's brain in large quantities, and it will not take long for the prey to die, and it is simply impossible to stick to it like Brunei and them.
In the process of falling, the female snake will flatten her body as Brunei threw the male snake out, and use her innate ability to use wind magic to affect the surrounding air and adjust the landing point, and generally speaking, no matter how agile the prey is, can not escape from this attack from the sky.
Thinking that if it weren't for the bald head suddenly pushing him away, his life might be coming to an end, Brunei felt a little sweaty on his back. Even with it, the place where he had been hurting a little when he hit the tree before also made him feel a little warmer.
During the spawning period, pairs of blasting snakes will always respect the female snake - this can be seen from their hunting patterns, even if the male snake is born with a strong spirit, it will not go against their nature. Most of the magical creatures have a certain amount of intelligence, and this male snake must be higher, and what happened after that was probably the action of the male snake to rescue the female snake.
Seeing that the female snake was caught by the bald head, the male snake naturally had to find a way to rescue her. But if the male snake is found to be able to move, the bald head is afraid that he will simply kill the female snake to prevent future troubles. Therefore, the male snake disguises itself as motionless as any other male snake, waiting for an opportunity. After Brunei caught it, it saw an opportunity and frightened Brunei with explosions and attacks, making him throw it out.
Then it manipulated the air flow to adjust the direction of flight, flew in front of the bald head, and used wind magic to force out the toxins in the fangs, shooting venom from the small holes in the teeth, and shooting the bald head's eyes, most likely controlled by it with wind magic.
And the female snake escaped as she expected. Before leaving, the vengeful female snake gave the bald head a hard bite on the forearm, fearing that all the venom it had accumulated would be injected into it, so the poisoning of the bald head was far more serious than that of Brunei. As he said this, old Luke glanced again at the bald head sitting beside him, as if he had fallen asleep.
After listening to Luke Sr.'s explanation, Brunei finally understood the key to the previous surprise attack. This is something to celebrate, because it was probably the first thing in the time since Brunei encountered the system to roughly figure out what was going on......
Luke Sr. said the only thing he couldn't figure out was how the snake had bitten Brunei Darussalam's palm while he was being grabbed by Brunei on the head. However, he agreed with Brunei's reasoning at the time, and it was reasonable to think that such an unreasonable explosive snake had more spells than other explosive snakes.
Thinking of how thoughtful this snake was, Brunei suddenly felt a chill all over his body, and he couldn't help but imagine that if the male snake had not had the habit of putting the female snake first, he had already been deceived by the snake and fell into its trap. If it weren't for the fact that he was trying to scare Brunei, maybe he wouldn't have known how he died.
[What a pitiful fighting ability, isn't it, little Brunei?]
The system's assessment was as caustic as ever, but there was nothing wrong with what he said. Two gangsters who don't know magic at all can bring Brunei to the predicament of almost dying even if they are hanging, and two snakes can make both Brunei and the bald head face the danger of death, and Brunei Darussa, as a magic apprentice, is too weak.
Bald - Dragged down by himself. Brunei glanced at the bald head, who had not yet come to his senses, and the bald head had saved his life, and he had almost died because of his weakness and stupidity. This made it impossible for Brunei to be as suspicious of him as before, and Brunei was determined that at least, in return, he should help him fulfill his wishes.
"Whew-" Old Luke's colossal moans interrupted Bruneith's musings, his face flushed slightly, which made his disjointed gray beard more conspicuous and more approachable, and he looked at him with a kind smile, "You-well, young man. You weren't an adventurer in the past, were you?"
Brunei blinked: "Not now." β
"Hah, that's it now. Old Luke wiped his feet and said in a very determined tone, "Some common sense as an adventurer, although I think that little brother over there will teach you in the future, I still feel it is necessary to mention it to you." First of all, and most importantly, in such a camp where no one is stationed, every adventurer has an obligation to further improve her. β
Brunei thought for a moment and nodded: "Of course. β
Old Luke was about to say something, but after listening to Brunei's words, the movements in his hands paused, his eyebrows raised, and he was stunned before he coughed and continued: "It's best if you understand so quickly." The serum kept here is the most valuable item here, after all, it is also a magic potion that can only be made at the level of a master mage or above. β
"First of all, leave a special mark on the door, you see, like this. Old Luke said, pulling out his long dagger and carving a thick twist on the table, then circled it in a circle, "This sign indicates that the serum has been used." If another person like you comes, they don't have to enter the door, and they will have to consider themselves unlucky. β
"Then, of course, you are obligated to replenish the camp with this serum. It's not that you want to come back, but once you get your hands on it, you can stay in the nearby camp and put it on the map, attach some reward, and ask the adventurers along the way to bring it over. Old Luke pointed to the map hanging on the wall behind him, and there were indeed many traces of writing and drawing.
There are some nails in the middle of the map, which look like they should be markers of the locations of the various adventurers' camps. Brunei, who had never seen a map a few times, was very interested and curious about this new thing, but now was not a good time to study the map. These rules spoken by Luke Sr. should be taken for granted, and this is the basis of the operation of the adventurer's camp.
But could Brunei really get the serum? Not to mention whether he could get enough money, if he thought he could buy things in the empire without hindrance, which he would at least have to buy in the city, Brunei wouldn't have escaped from his home and trekked through the endless mountains.
Old Luke seemed to see Brunei's embarrassed expression, and laughed cheerfully: "That's it, that's it, young man, let's meet this time, and we can be regarded as fate." Again, I see you quite pleasing to the eye. I'll buy this bottle of serum for you and send it over. β
Brunei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This-what's so embarrassing?"
"Then you buy it?" Old Luke looked at Brunei with a slightly wicked mischievous smile, and after admiring the way he choked there speechless for a while, he put on his shoes, stood up, and waved his big hand, "Okay, you're lucky." Remember, there won't be anything so good going on, it's not too early, and if I don't leave, I won't be able to get to the next camp before nightfall. β
"That'sβthank you so much!" said Brunei Darussalam, who froze there for a long time, and finally blushed his ears.
"You're going from the south to the north, aren't you?" said old Luke suddenly, nodding thoughtfully after receiving an affirmative answer, "Then we will not go our way." I'll go first, and if there's a fate, I'll see you next time. β
β...... Really, thank you very much. In the face of such a good person, Brunei really couldn't say anything.
Old Luke had already pushed the door open, listened to him, turned around, and looked at him deeply again.
"No thanks. If you want, then we can settle each other's scores, and that's the best. β
Old Luke carefully closed the door, leaving behind a word that baffled Brunei. After thinking about it for a while, Brunei still couldn't understand the meaning of old Luke's words, so he didn't think about it anymore, and said happily in his heart: "Whether it's Luke or the bald head, they are good people." Take such good care of someone I meet for the first time, is this an adventurer!"
γ...... Hey, what do you think? Hmm...... So, maybe you can think that this is the advantage that you have with 16 APP points - I mean, charisma points. I told you, 16 is really high. γ
Hearing this, Brunei nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly heard a low moan from the bald head, so he hurried over.
............
Old Luke followed the traces on the ground in three steps and bent down in three steps, and walked for almost an hour before he came to the place where Brunei and the others were in danger before. After searching around, he satisfiedly picked up a stiff, apparently dead snake from the ground.
"In order to save the female snake, the male explosive snake that broke out and exhausted the vitality and toxin, well, sure enough, he bit through his jaw with his fangs, even if he didn't run out of vitality, he would be poisoned by himself. Just to take a bite of the hands that are clutching youβif only your spirit could make you more valuable. Pity...... Anyway, it's the one with the serum. β
Old Luke shook the dead male snake, the eye-shaped magic emblem on his left hand flashed a few times, and then, he showed a smug smile: "Then, a masked man who showed the scar on the corner of his mouth when he drank water, this is my share." β
The emblem of magic flickered again, and he grinned, raised his right hand, and without looking at it, he threw out the long dagger that was inseparable from him, and then he turned his head to look at the snake with a triangular head that had been nailed to a tree by the dagger, completely pierced in the stomach, but still struggling and twitching, and smiled contentedly.
"A complete female blast snake with no consumption is worth a lot. This is a free share. β
"In this way, this wave has made a lot of money. β
Old Luke restrained the female snake with a strange forked tool, pulled out the dagger, and then knocked the female snake into a large bottle, whistled, grabbed the dagger with his right hand, played with the knife, and walked briskly down the hill.
