Chapter 21: The Snakeskin Scroll
Chen Long, who escaped the pursuit of the Kui Snake, did not stop all the way, chasing towards the wolf-toothed person, although he did not see the angry appearance of the Kui Snake, but he knew that this beam was finished, and he would definitely die in the future, which had been thought about before he wanted to save people, and he could not be polite to those who threatened him, otherwise he might not know how he died.
"Since Liang Zi is settled, don't worry about anything in the future, the top priority now is to improve your strength, otherwise the next time you see Kui Snake, you will only have to escape. Thinking so, Long Chen rode Ahri to catch up with the wolf's fangs.
In a clearing, the Wolf Tooth and the others sat on the ground resting. Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them, and everyone stood up and looked in that direction vigilantly. After seeing that it was Chen Long, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you all right?" said Long Chen, jumping off Ahri's back.
"It's all right, it's just that a few brothers can't walk, so take a break. Thanks, Brother Dragon. If it weren't for you, our wolf fangs would have perished. Dream Wolf walked up and thanked him.
"Captain Dream is polite, I and the Phantom are also friends, and they also helped me Besides, I also have some grudges with the Shadow Snake, and I only acted for myself. Chen Long waved his hand in response.
"Brother Long, what you said, that bracelet is not worth much, and you also paid us. The Phantom stepped forward.
"In that case, I won't say more, but it's not very safe yet, although it's the people who got rid of the Shadow Snake for the time being, but they will definitely catch up soon, it's better to find a safe place to hide. Chen Long could only accept their gratitude.
"Hmm" Dream Wolf pondered for a moment and said, "Baozhen City can't go back, just go to the meeting point outside, Vega and they probably went there too." β
For mercenaries, there is a staging area outside to prevent something urgent from happening. Now the dream wolf chooses to go there is also a wise choice, if you will treasure the city, it is estimated that you will be killed by the people of the shadow snake before you see the city gate on the road, even if you enter the treasure city, the people of the shadow snake may be more restrained in the city, but you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and you will only be frightened and afraid everywhere if you go.
"Brother Long, let's go over together," Dream Wolf looked at Long Chen. "Well, yes, I don't know where to go right now anyway, so I might as well go with you. Long Chen nodded.
After a little rest, everyone went to the assembly point outside under the leadership of Dream Wolf.
After walking for another half an hour, under the leadership of the dream wolf, he walked a path, through a bush, a cave appeared in front of everyone, Chen Long was secretly surprised, if it wasn't for the dream wolf to lead, he would definitely not be able to find this place, the cave was completely blocked by the bushes.
Wei Jia stood at the mouth of the cave, heard the sound and looked at this side vigilantly, and when he saw that it was Chen Long and the others, he immediately became ecstatic. He shouted into the cave, "Monlin, look who's coming." Hearing Vega's voice, Monlin poked her head out of the cave. When he saw that it was Chen Long and the others, his eyes also became ecstatic, and he directly pounced on the dream wolf and hugged him.
When everyone was immersed in joy, Wei Jia arched his hand to Long Chen and said, "Brother Long, thank you" At this time, everyone reacted, and before they could thank Long Chen, they came over to express their gratitude. These Chen Long just waved his hand to say no, but what made Chen Long speechless was Meng Lin who came over, first bowed deeply to Chen Long, and said loudly, "I'm sorry," and then knelt down directly and said, "Thank you"
Dream Wolf didn't stop her when he saw it, he just nodded, Meng Lin's temper as a father he still knows, now it's a good thing for her to experience this, she used to be arrogant and domineering, and she could protect her at that time, but now the situation is different, and it is a good thing for her to bow her head and admit her mistakes.
Seeing this, Long Chen hurriedly went over to help Meng Lin up, and seeing Meng Lin admit his mistake, Ke Bai, who had been silent, also came over and said to Long Chen, "Brother Long, I'm sorry for the previous one." β
One by one, they all came to apologize, and Chen Long was also speechless, "Haha" Chen Long chuckled lightly, and said, "You said that it was in the past, and the past is over, why do you want to mention it? β
"Brother Long has said so, so you don't have any more burdens. Vega came out to play the round. "Alright, let's talk about what to do next," the Phantom interrupted the group.
A group of people sat around in the cave.
Dream wolf, phantom, Vega, Lin Mo, and a middle-aged man, these are all the core of the wolf's tooth Even Meng Lin was driven outside to look at the wind, but there is another person who is not a wolf's tooth, that is Chen Long. It's just that the atmosphere is a little dull, and Chen Long, as an outsider, just looks at them, after all, this is someone's family matter.
"I can't go back to Baozhen City. Dream Wolf was the first to break the silence. "We had to go to other cities. β
"At present, there is only one way out. The middle-aged man continued Dream Wolf's words.
"I have a sworn brother in Zhuang Lin City to the east, he has a mercenary group there, we go to join him, it is impossible for the people of the Shadow Snake to touch it, and we can continue to be mercenaries. Dream Wolf offered his opinion. "This is a good choice, but the brothers are willing to go with us, after all, most of us are from Baozhen City, and I am afraid that we will not adapt to it if we suddenly run to another place. "Raise your concerns about the home.
"Hmm" Dream Wolf nodded, this was also what he was worried about, whether everyone would follow him.
"Why don't you do it. The phantom said, "Gather the brothers, take those who are willing to go, and give a settling-in fee for those who are not willing to go." β
"Well, I'm for the Phantom's approach. The middle-aged man nodded and said.
"That's it, you can deal with this phantom, don't be too stingy, after all, these brothers have been born and died with us for so many years, and now they have some grudges with the shadow snake. Dream Wolf looked at the phantom and said.
"Okay," Phantom nodded.
Seeing that the phantom answered, the dream wolf looked at Long Chen and said, "Brother Long, there is something I still need your help with." β
"Tell me directly, there's anything I Long Chen can help you with. Chen Long said unhurriedly.
"I wonder if Brother Long still has a potion?" said Dream Wolf with an inquiring tone. Listening to Dream Wolf's words, Long Chen smiled in his heart, "It turned out that he wanted to hit me with the idea of potions, so let's take a good pit of it" Of course, this is what Long Chen thought in his heart, and he greeted him with a smile on the surface, and said, "There are still a few, not very many, I don't know what the Dream Leader is asking for this?"
"Don't hide it from Brother Dragon, we want to buy some potions, I wonder if Brother Long is willing?" asked Dream Wolf.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. After all, that's all I have. Chen Long deliberately showed an embarrassed expression.
"Brother Long, don't worry, we will never let you suffer, as long as you can come up with the potion, we will definitely give you something that satisfies you. Dream Wolf said urgently. "Oh, I wonder if the Dream Leader can come up with something to exchange with me?" asked Long Chen
After listening to Long Chen's words, Dream Wolf knew that there was a play, and immediately took out a quick animal skin from the ring in his hand, seeing that the material should be a piece of snake skin, but it seems to be thicker and tougher than ordinary snake skin, and the corners are also a little worn, and it is estimated that it has been some years. Dream Wolf handed the snake skin to Long Chen. "This is what we got from doing a mission, and it was carefully protected by a strong man who passed away, it should be a very valuable item, but our ability is limited, and we don't know what it is for." β
Chen Long took it slowly, and seeing that the dream wolf was about to give the snakeskin scroll to Chen Long, the middle-aged man on the side hurriedly said, "Leader, are you sure that such a valuable thing should be exchanged?"
Seeing the man's reaction, Dream Wolf immediately said to Long Chen, "Let Brother Long laugh, we really paid a big price to get this thing." After speaking, the dream wolf turned his head to the man and said|" This thing is not something we can touch, if it weren't for this thing, we wouldn't be targeted by the Shadow Snake's people, even if we arrived in Zhuanglin City, there would be a second Shadow Snake staring at us, the puppet is not guilty, and he is guilty, don't you understand?" Listening to the words of the dream wolf, the middle-aged man sat aside stupidly and stopped talking.
After Chen Long took the scroll, he opened the scroll directly, the first thing that caught his eye was four complex words, and then inside was a human snake pattern, although there were only a few simple strokes, but it was a vivid painting, looking at that face was definitely a peerless beauty, but the thunder sitting on Chen Long's shoulder was shocked when he saw the portrait, and his breathing obviously changed, Chen Long glanced at him, and continued to open the scroll in his hand, and it was another text that Chen Long didn't know, Chen Long ignored it, after the scroll was all opened, the last was a complex pattern, and that pattern should be a magic arrayγ
"No matter what the price is, you have to get this scroll" The thunder on his shoulder transmitted to Chen Longdao, his tone was very urgent, Chen Long was very surprised by the performance of the thunder, as if since he met the thunder, this is the first time he has behaved so calmly, I'm afraid this thing is really a peerless treasure.
"Well, I wonder how many potions the Dream Leader wants to exchange with me?" said Chen Long lightly.
"300 healing potions, 200 magic recovery potions, 50 black water and 50 wind speed agents. When the dream wolf saw that there was a play, he immediately quoted the price in his heart.
Listening to Dream Wolf's offer, Long Chen shook his head and said, "Master Dream's offer is a little higher. β
Listening to Long Chen's words, Dream Wolf's heart sank, but he was also a little mentally prepared, and he still said calmly, "How much does Brother Long think this scroll is worth?"
"One hundred healing potions and one hundred healing potions, and ten black water and wind speed potions. Chen Long directly lowered the price by one-third. Just after Chen Long quoted the price, Dream Wolf frowned, shook his head, and said, "This price is a little lower, after all, this is something that we paid a few brothers to get, although we don't know what it is for, but it is somewhat historical." β
Listening to Dream Wolf's words, Long Chen smiled and said, "Leader Dream also knows what this thing is for, so how can I, the spearhead boy, know about it? If it weren't for the fact that the last pattern looks like a magic array in my opinion, it has a certain research value, I wouldn't have spent such a price, if I guessed wrong, then this thing is just a broken skin." β
Unexpectedly, Chen Long, who has always been gentle, directly put himself in the army, thinking that this was just a hairy boy with no love for the world, and being led by such a spearhead boy, Dream Wolf shouldn't say anything for a while, so he looked at Chen Long so embarrassed.
"That's good, Brother Long, let's each take a step back, 200 healing potions, 200 pills, and 40 pieces of black curtain water and wind speed agents. The phantom came out to resolve the embarrassment.
Listening to the phantom's words, Long Chen still shook his head and said, "150 healing potions, 30 pills of black water and 30 pieces of wind speed elixir, this is the maximum price I can offer, if you don't agree, then there is no need to talk about it, you better ask for another family." β
Another army, Long Chen is sure that they need potions now, but it is not easy to get so many potions in a short time, and now they are being chased and killed by the people of the Shadow Snake, it is impossible to enter the city, plus he has saved them, it will definitely affect their judgment.
As soon as Long Chen's words came out, the middle-aged man couldn't sit still, looked at Long Chen angrily and said, "Young man, don't go too far. "Shut up," the dream wolf immediately stopped. After pondering for a while, he looked at Long Chen and said, "Just according to your price, although I know by feeling that this scroll is definitely more than this price, but you saved us, it should be regarded as a repayment." β
"Regiment leader!" the middle-aged man was anxious, "Don't say any more, let's hurry up and pack up, leave here early, and go to Zhuanglin City." After saying the last sentence, the dream wolf closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Listening to Dream Wolf's words, Long Chen was overjoyed, but his face still had a painful expression on his clothes, and he slowly took out the medicine from the ring and put it on the ground.
After the transaction, Chen Long didn't stay any longer, and when he went to Zhuang Lin City was only their internal matter. After leaving, Long Chen came to that canyon again, and now his main task is to improve his strength, and when the wolf tooth is gone, the people of the Shadow Snake can only come to him.
When he came to the canyon, Long Chen couldn't wait to take out the scroll, slowly opened it, and after carefully checking it for a long time, he didn't find a reason, so he had to look at the thunder on his shoulder, and said, "What's the use of you asking me to spend a lot of money to buy this?"
"It didn't work. Thunder said lightly. "It's useless, then why buy it?" said Chen Long hurriedly.
Thunder didn't answer Long Chen, but with a wave of his little claws, a force lifted the scroll and slowly flew in front of him, the scroll unfolded in front of Thunder, Thunder looked at the words and patterns on the scroll and was silent, and shook his head and sighed from time to time.
Seeing Lei Ting's expression, Chen Long didn't say more, but looked at Lei Ting silently, it seemed that this scroll was an important thing for him, or the person on the scroll pattern was very important to him.
After looking at it for a while, Thunder didn't say anything, but directly put away the scroll and put it into Na Ling from his forehead. Then he said to Chen Long, "I owe you this time, if you want to explain, I can't tell you now, and you will know later." "Hmm," Chen Long nodded. There are some things that I am still not qualified to know, and Chen Long still knows this, and he will only know it when he reaches a certain height. Therefore, Chen Long did not pursue Thunder's attitude, nor did he ask too much about this matter. For Thunder to say such a thing, this scroll must be extraordinary.
