In the dense woods, the chaotic sound is constantly sounding. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The last moment was the sound of trees breaking, the next moment was the sound of gold and iron colliding, and the next moment was the sound of crashing, followed by the sound of rushing water.

In the dim light, three figures, one large, two small, were fighting.

The big ones are naturally the terrifying serpent, and the small ones are Ray and Steele.

The main battle is Ray, and Steele is only a support.

Steele rushed back as soon as she sensed the battle in the forest below, and she tried hard to help, but soon found that with her martial arts, she could not only help in the battle between Thunder and the Serpent, but also had to hold back.

So she retreated, kept a relatively safe distance, and used her natural spellcasting ability to assist.

As a demi-spirit who has not completed the transformation, she is able to cast a lot of natural spell abilities, although there are very few direct attacks, but there are many that can be used to support - coincidentally, what she needs now is precisely the auxiliary spell.

Thunder, who was assisted by Steele's spell, was suddenly in high spirits, and his combat power soared. He rejected the awakened Sui Xiong's suggestion of "I'll do me a favor", and brandished his spear and sword as if they had turned into two clouds of white light, fighting the giant snake on an equal footing.

As time went on, Ray gradually gained the upper hand.

He found that although the giant snake was huge in size, powerful and had foul defense, it was not very intelligent.

If you don't have a lot of intelligence, it means that your fighting skills are poor. With the rich experience accumulated in a hundred battles, Lei gradually grasped the fighting habits of this giant snake. When the "rhythm" of the battle is completely under his control, there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle.

Of course, even then, it is difficult to kill the serpent. Thunder fought hard for a long time, and finally finally killed the giant snake when it was almost twilight.

With a final wail, the serpent's massive body collapsed to the ground, finally stopping. At this time, Lei was also exhausted, and he couldn't even stand on his feet. Even Steele, who was only casting spells on the side, was so tired that she flapped her wings weakly, and couldn't even fly.

"Good work. Sui Xiong cast a spell to freeze the serpent's corpse along with the blood in order to preserve as much of these precious materials as possible—the spoils of war that Ray and Steele had fought each other for almost an afternoon, and they were priceless, but they were certainly rare.

"What are you going to do with this thing?" he asked, "Do you want to store it in the storage space I opened up first, and then get rid of it when you get to the Mystic Tower Federation?"

"Whatever you want. Lei said weakly, "I'm going to find a place to camp first, I feel like my bones are going to fall apart." ”

"Me too. Steele rested for a while, took a few breaths, and finally regained a little strength, and flapped her wings and flew, "A little further on, there is a rocky mountain. It's not high, it's bare, and it's not occupied by wild animals, so it's the best campsite for us. ”

Hearing that he could finally sleep on solid ground, Lei, who was already exhausted, suddenly came back to his senses, used the spear as a crutch, and staggered onto another floating disc - this disc was originally used by Sui Xiong to test the duration of his spells, because the distance was a little far, but it was not destroyed in the battle, which came in handy at this moment.

"It's nice to have a rest!" Steele lamented, flying slowly through the air, leading the way.

Fortunately, the distance was indeed not far, and after about ten minutes, they arrived at the barren stone mountain.

The rocks on this mountain are quite hard, and the top of the mountain is very smooth, which is a good campsite. However, with everyone's current state, it is really not suitable for camping in the wild, so Sui Xiong flipped through the information and found a spell "Shelter Cabin" commonly used by travelers and cast it.

The Shelter Cabin is a spell that creates a hut out of thin air, with a bed, a fire, and simple toiletries. It is indeed a very convenient spell for travelers on the go.

But the shortcomings of this spell are also obvious, first of all, it is a fictitious creation, and sleeping in it does not give you "sufficient rest" in the true sense of the word, because it is an area that has been cut off out of thin air, and it is impossible to pray effectively. This means that neither the Mage nor the Priest can regain their spellcasting abilities by resting in the Sanctuary Hut.

If this issue is secondary, then the other one is a bit worse.

When you are inside the shelter, you can't see the outside.

And...... This sturdy-looking house has little defense, except for shelter from the wind and rain, and a few wild wolves can break it.

What does this mean? It means that resting in a sheltered hut is completely undefended!

Resting undefended in the wilderness, what's the difference between that and looking for death!

So adventurers won't use this spell to help rest unless they have to. Even if you are forced to use it, you must arrange for people to take turns guarding it outside, so as to avoid being caught by monsters or enemies in an urn and dying in a mess.

Of course, there are also advanced spells that solve these problems, such as the "Sacred Abode", which can create a stone chamber with considerable defense and can also complete prayers in it.

However, that was exclusive to certain deities who had priesthoods such as "traveling", and they did not need even Sui Xiong, who was also a deity, except for priests authorized by them.

Among the mage's spells, there is a "mage villa", which can not only provide a high level of food and accommodation, but also has several golems to guard, and even has maids inside.

However, the spell was so secretive that even the God of Salvation only knew about its existence, but knew nothing about its principles. Maybe no one on the main plane knows how to cast it......

"I'll keep vigil tonight, so get a good night's sleep. Sui Xiong said to Ray and Steele, who had not yet recovered their spirits, "Sleep at ease, with me." ”

The gods themselves kept vigil, and of course it was safe. Although Ray and Steele were a little embarrassed and embarrassed, they finally accepted his kindness because they were too tired, and went into the house to rest.

After a little washing, eating and drinking, they fell down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

They were really tired today.

Sui Xiong stood outside, his body shook, turned into a giant planktonic jellyfish larger than the shelter hut, and stopped above the house, vigilantly observing the surroundings.

He let out a little bit of his momentum, and scattered in all directions, only to hear the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the dark, I don't know how many monsters of all sizes flew away, and none of them dared to stay nearby.

Dispel the things that might threaten Ray and Steele, and he relents and immerses himself in his research once more.

This time, the object of his research was the giant snake.

This snake has low intelligence, and it has no magical ability, it seems to be just an ordinary low-level poisonous snake, and it doesn't know how it has grown to such a big size, which is really incomprehensible.

How long did it live when it grew to such a size?

Everything in the dust has a lifespan, and snakes are no exception. There doesn't seem to be a legend in this world such as "becoming a spirit and becoming a demon", but anything that can live forever is either strong enough to resist the passage of time, or it has a noble blood and talent.

However, this snake is not strong enough, and it can't see any noble bloodline, so what is the secret of its longevity?

Sui Xiong was very curious about this.

He is not a heartless shopkeeper, and he also wants to contribute more to the construction of the church and the holy place - the believers work hard and the gods sit back and enjoy the results, such a custom, he disagrees with it.

After some consideration, he felt that as a high-level intellectual, he should contribute through his intellect rather than his strength. It's just that...... How to contribute through his intelligence, he still hasn't found a clue for a while.

The planned holy land will be built in the cold north, and even if he can rely on his strength to open up farmland, it will be self-sufficient, and it is unrealistic to expect surplus grain to be sold. Mining, logging, quarrying, etc., make believers toiling in the bitter cold of dripping ice to make money, which is too cruel. Manufacturing and the like, a place where transportation is not very convenient, is unlikely to make a fortune from manufacturing. As for the service sector...... Hehe...... Hehehehe...... Don't make such a boring joke, okay!

If you want to arrange an industry for the Holy Land that is enough to feed the believers and have money to run the church, you need to take into account several things: first, it is better not to have the work required for this industry outdoors, otherwise people will freeze to death; second, it is better not to have too many raw materials for this industry, otherwise it is not very reliable to collect or purchase; third, it is better to make this industry as exclusive as possible, and others will not be able to copy it even if they look at it...... That's all I can think of for the time being, and I'll add the rest later.

These three alone have already made him sad and unable to think of any reliable ideas. Although he is powerful, and has a lot of information from the gods in his head, as well as knowledge from another world of technological prosperity, it is still too difficult to find the right industry with these!

After all, before the crossing, he was just an art school student who was good at drawing, not a god-level engineering student who was familiar with various material formulas, various mechanical drawings, and various technological processes!

But now, he's inspired.

If there is anything in the world that is most popular with the rich, it is definitely "health and longevity". Although there are cases in this world where they go to the kingdom of God after death, the threshold for entering the kingdom of God is too high, and I believe that most rich people cannot find the kingdom of God who is definitely willing to accept them. And if they want to be like the poor, they will obediently go to the underworld after death, and they will definitely not be reconciled.

Therefore, in this case, if you can launch a life-prolonging medicine with few side effects and good effects, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money, not to mention feeding the believers in a mere holy land, even if you can feed a church with a power all over the continent, there is absolutely no problem!

And the hope of obtaining this potion lies in this giant snake that came to his death......
