，

After arriving at the place, Char finally confirmed one thing: if there is no one to lead the way, I am afraid that even if I go around this forest for the rest of my life, I will never want to find this place!

On the morning of the fourth day, the four of them in the jungle finally arrived at the final destination of the trip: it was not a magic kiss taro - in front of them was a huge trunk that looked like the legendary jīng spirit tree.

When Char saw the big tree for the first time, he only let out such a sigh, and the turtle's eyes widened, and he swallowed and foamed: "Damn it...... This tree is bigger than the house where Lao Tzu lives!"

Standing under this tree, you can't see the sky at all, and the dense branches extend out of the area is very large!" "I feel like standing under this tree, it seems that we have all become dwarf dwarfs. This is another sigh of Char.

After the first sight of this huge ancient tree, the magician's eyes shone brightly, he let out a low cry, stumbled down beside the trunk, raised his paw and stroked back and forth, after a while, Dotara muttered: "Poor lord, I really have no knowledge, where is this jīng spirit ancient tree, it is simply a tree spirit of the giant clan!" After saying this, the magician seemed to have not enjoyed it, and lowered his voice and muttered: "Ignorance is really a sin." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a foot in the back reached over and kicked Tatara in the ass, kicking him aside, and the magician turned around and saw Char's face that seemed to be smiling, Char looked at his servant and sneered: "The next time you say something bad about me, remember not to say it, just say it silently in your heart - my ears are very smart." ”

As he spoke, he looked back at Ah Cai, Ah Cai's face was a little nervous at the moment, the young man Zaku looked around, Char walked over and patted him hard: "What are you looking at? What about your people? Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Ah Cai shook his head, he said in a low voice: "The location of the holy snake's lair is a secret, not many people know this secret, only the big chief and the high priest in the tribe are qualified to know, and every time the snake girl is selected, the high priest himself brought it here...... The warriors selected to slay the snake this time were all the most loyal to the Great Chief, but for the sake of safety, the Great Chief only told me the location of this place by one person, and the others had to follow the road signs I left in the woods to get here. ”

"So we're going to have to wait a little longer?"

"Half a day at most. Ah Cai looked very sure: "They are all real jīng warriors in the clan, and if I guess correctly, the leader must be my uncle's good friend...... Garin. ”

The odd name made Char grin - these Zaku natives were all funny names.

Looking at the strangely large tree in front of him, Char was a little curious: "The entrance to the cave is on this tree? How can we get in? There is no hole in this tree." ”

"The Great Chief said that it would not appear until evening, at midnight, when the tree hollow appeared. You can't get in during the day. ”

Char nodded, but heard Dora's voice in his head: "Hmph, it's just a materialization illusion of Damandras." But it's enough to deal with you ants. ”

Char snorted, patted his head lightly, stepped aside, and said in a low voice, "You'd better be honest, I said, either you provide some real help, or you shut up." We're going to do a dangerous job, so don't keep muttering and disturbing people. ”

"I'm grieving for myself. Dora mocked unceremoniously in her mind: "You ignorant and arrogant fellow, go and assassinate Damandras? Hah! You don't even realize how powerful a true pure-blooded Damandras is! It's definitely not something you can challenge at your current level! You're going to die here...... Even my soul will not be able to return to the Holy Sepulchre. ”

In fact, along the way, Dora has said this kind of similar words countless times, but every time Char just snorted haha, ignoring the she-dragon in her mind. Anyway, the legs are on her body, and wherever she wants to go, this female dragon can't help herself. Besides, the turtle was originally the kind of donkey temper that "pulled and didn't go, and ran backwards", if it was in a normal state, knowing that the danger of things was too high, maybe with his xìng, he would have smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.

But the current situation is different, he owes a favor to the Zaku people! To be exact, he owes a favor to a Zaku man named "Ah Zuo"! Ah Zuo and a group of his subordinates died heroically on the road in order to cover Char, and with Char's temper, the things that he decides, even if there are really swords and mountains and fires in front of him, are that is, he closes his eyes and hardens his head, scolds "fuck it", and then hardens his head.

Su Ling was obviously the most idle of the four, and Char had already made up his mind that before entering the cave, he would leave one person behind and take the chick out of here and back to the tribe. Is this the candidate...... Of course, it's a dish.

Before dark, Char took the time to rest, he even found a stone, sharpened the dagger and knife, and carefully checked other equipment, especially the "Gathering Roaring Bow", this bow given by the Landis people will become his own big killing weapon, as for the fire fork that he never left with him, it had already been solemnly inserted by Char in his waist.

Juxiao bow is behind his back, and there is a quiver inside, which is ten iron-spine armor-piercing arrows, produced in the arsenal of the Byzantine palace, of excellent quality, and a dagger is inserted in the boot, this dagger is the one given by General Adric, with a golden handle, made of jīng steel, which is sharp enough. The short knife in his left hand was brought from the Zaku tribe, and there was also a water bag, and a leather bag was tied around his waist, which contained some bits and pieces. Coupled with a piece of dragon scales hidden in his underwear, this is all the equipment that the turtle has for this adventure.

It is also thanks to the natural divine power of the turtle, if you change others, such a piece of equipment, it is already dozens of kilograms, not to mention risky, you have to get tired and lie down after walking for a while.

※※※The group of "jīng rui" in the tribe mentioned by Acai came faster than expected.

Before it was dark, there was a rustling sound in the jungle, and then a group of Zaku warriors jumped out.

None of these Zakutu people had any torches, but they suddenly came out in the darkness of the night, and each of them had a colorful face painted with oil, and looked like ghosts. A group of people was no more, no less, exactly twenty, Char looked at it from the outside, and expressed satisfaction with the quality of this group of "allies".

Each of these Zaku natives is very strong and vigorous, most of them are burly and majestic, and the leader of the guy, the aura of that body, makes Char immediately think of the dead Ah Zuo.

The leader of the Zaku Tu was almost as tall as Char, healthy and broad, but with a narrow waist, a piece of leather armor on his body, and strong muscles on his arms, like most Zaku men, with a somewhat collapsed nose, slender eyes, and a long weapon behind his back, the silhouette of which looked like a double-edged battle axe. This weapon immediately made Char very envious: because of his background, the turtle has always preferred a heavy weapon like an axe.

And this guy is obviously the one called "Garin" that Ah Cai said. What made Char a little funny was that this guy named Garin also had a helmet on his head, the kind of helmet with two curved horns on both sides like a bull's head, and a piece of iron in the middle stretched out from Char's forehead, covering his nose.

The weapons in the hands of these Zaku people are not the same, and the eight warriors with axes are all the thickest in stature, and judging from the strong muscles, they are all good at melee hand-to-hand combat without losing physical strength. And there were ten other spear-throwers, and these zaku spear-throwers, each of whom carried at least three short spears behind him, and a long one in his hand. These people were indeed jīng sharp, because Char confirmed at a glance that the spears in their hands were not the kind of bone spears used by ordinary Zaku warriors, but all of them were similar to the iron spears used in the Byzantine army, all iron goodies.

And what surprised Char the most was that among this group of Zaku warriors, the twentieth was actually a woman!

The Zakku woman was the second-tallest of all the Zakku warriors, only slightly shorter than Garin. She was dressed in a colorful dress, the leather robe on her body was very short, revealing a pair of slender and sturdy long legs, full of the smell of wild xìng, and the two sides of the battle skirt were two shapes like green leaves, with a headband on her head, and a few feathers with different faces, as for her face, it was invisible, a mask of a grimace covered her face, and only a pair of eyes kept flashing behind the grimace.

What surprised Char the most was that this woman was actually holding a long staff in her hand! At the top was a crescent-shaped crystal, polished very smooth, with some silver underneath, and Char could immediately recognize it even if she was ignorant—this woman was only afraid that it was a horn like a magician, and the handle of the staff was a hard black wood, and the bottom was sharpened into a shape like the tip of a spear. Char doesn't think it's just for the sake of pretty, and it's clear that the staff can also be used as a melee weapon when necessary. And this female xìng's Zaku Turen, judging from her well-proportioned figure and steady steps, is not as weak as a human magician.

As soon as he saw these arriving Zaku Tu warriors, Ah Cai immediately jumped up to meet them, and after he hurriedly said a few words in the Zaku Tu language, the Zaku Tu people on the opposite side stood still, and after the leading Galin and Ah Cai whispered a few words, they immediately looked at Su Ling, who was a little dodgy, with blazing eyes, and then drank a few words sternly.

Su Ling was obviously a little afraid, and his body almost hid behind Char, only poking out half of his head, and carefully replied a few words.

Char couldn't understand the Zakutu language they spoke, but from the tone and expression of the two, it seemed that Garin was scolding Su Ling harshly, and Su Ling seemed to be very afraid of this guy, and he no longer had the arrogant appearance on the road.

Finally, Garin walked in front of Char, the two glanced at each other, Garin looked very seriously, and finally nodded, as if he was satisfied with Char's "ally", but when he saw Tadora, his face was obviously a little ugly, and he said something to Ah Cai beside him.

"Garin thinks that this companion of yours is too weak. Ah Cai was embarrassed to speak.

"He's a magician. Char stared into Garin's eyes and spoke unceremoniously.

After Ah Cai translated this sentence, Garin's face looked much better, and he looked at Tataro solemnly, then nodded to Tataro and saluted.

It seems that respect for magicians has become a custom in all parts of the continent.

"If this guy knew that Tataro was a junior magician, I'm afraid he would have turned his face a long time ago. Char was guilty.

Garin finally stretched out his hand to Char - both hands, before Char understood what it meant, he had already been hugged by this Zaku warrior, a very strong hug, Garin whispered a few words, and Ah Cai next to him immediately said: "He said that his name is Garin, thank you very much for your help to us Zaku." And also...... He was a good friend of my uncle. ”

After a pause, Ah Cai added in a low voice: "Garin is the strongest warrior in the tribe, a little more powerful than my uncle. He's the leader of our 'Zaku Blooddrinker', and my uncle is only the leader of the 'Coyote Knights'. The Coyote Knights are our warriors against the enemies outside, and the 'Blood Drinker' is the best warrior in the clan. ”

Char nodded, he didn't have the heart to care about the distinction between blood drinkers and coyote knights in these Zaku tribes, he immediately thought of a very critical question: "Do any of them speak Byzantine? ”

"I, a little. ”

Char's answer to this question was the only woman among the Zaku warriors, who walked up to Char's side, raised her staff, and pointed to her nose, "I, it's over." Shaman. ”

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her words were strange and harsh.

Char opened her mouth, and before she could speak, the Zaku woman also opened her arms and hugged Char hard - it was very embarrassing that this warm hug made Char immediately feel a hot body attached to her body, and this Zaku woman's figure was obviously hotter than expected, bumpy and full of elasticity.

The turtle's face turned red at that time, but after the woman let go of Char, she took a step back, and looked at Char with eyes hidden behind the grimace: "Thank you." ”

"She is the best witch doctor in the tribe, and we all think that her witchcraft is not much worse than that of the High Priest, and she is also recognized as the most qualified candidate to succeed the next High Priest. Ah Cai next to him was obviously red when he was introduced, and when this young Zaku boy spoke, his eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at the witch doctor from time to time. Char saw it in his eyes and snickered in his heart, but he still asked a very crucial question.

"Uh...... Honorable Witch Doctor......"

"That's it. The other man pointed to his nose and repeated.

"Alright, that's it. Char coughed, "That...... I have to know how good your Byzantine language really is, whether it is enough for us to communicate. ”

"Listen, no problem. He expressed his ability in jerky Byzantine language: "Say, short, it's okay." ”

Char nodded, that's enough, anyway, everyone is going to fight and kill snakes, not to chat, when it is critical to fight, when you need to cooperate, it is enough for the other party to understand when you shout.

"Very well, then...... Because we're going to play together, we need to be ready. Char glanced at Ah Cai: "Help me translate." ”

Then he continued: "This operation is very dangerous, your holy snake is said to be very powerful, but it seems to be dormant, so the best thing to do is to go to its side while it is asleep and cut it to death. But I'm afraid that this kind of good thing will not happen so easily, so we must be prepared for a hard fight. ”

Every time he said a word, Ah Cai next to him translated loudly in Zakutu, and when he heard this, he said coldly: "Death, we, ready!"

Char glanced at the witch doctor, then at Garin and the others, and there was a sense of righteousness in the eyes of all the Zakus—a look that Char had only seen in the eyes of the sharpest cavalrymen in the Rhodrian cavalry regiment.

"Very well, then the second point, we need to confirm a leader. Char took a deep breath: "There are so many people, who do you listen to when you fight!"

"Listen to you, Grand Chief. Instead of all the Zaku warriors, he replied.

Char was finally relieved - if everyone was in a mess when the fight started, I was afraid that there would be big trouble. Effective coordination is king.

Then, everyone began the final preparations, and the witch doctor immediately showed her worth, she took out a large baggage, and then gave each Zaku warrior some potions, and let everyone apply them to the blades and speartips of their weapons.

"These are highly toxic, don't ask me the formula, I don't know. But everyone in the tribe knows that she is the most powerful witch doctor in our tribe, and the poison she prepares is the most poisonous!"

Char heard Acai's words and immediately took a step back.

glanced at Char, and there was some disdain in this woman's eyes: "Don't break the skin, it'll be fine." ”

Char was a little unhappy by the other party's eyes, and couldn't help but look at the magician Tataro on his side, but Char was disappointed, Tataro, this waste, was simply a person who came to make soy sauce, instead of earning face for Char, he took the medicine given and looked at it, and he didn't see the slightest fame.

Finally, when the night was already very deep, the moon above his head became brighter and brighter, and he had already planted a branch in the ground before, and now he looked at the shadow of the branch and stood up: "The time is almost up." ”

............ When the moon finally rose to the highest point, a touch of moonlight sprinkled on the woods, under a moon-white light, the huge ancient tree in front of him seemed to suddenly burst out of a chaotic fog, and then in the fog there seemed to be a few points of light burst out, suddenly like lightning in the clouds, illuminating the fog...... The trunk of the tree suddenly began to change, twisting little by little, just like snow in the sun, the part of the trunk actually began to melt, and then a black spot appeared on the trunk, and the black spot gradually spread, and finally became the outline of a cave, this hole was very large, enough for three or four people to walk in side by side, Char's eyes widened, and he couldn't see what was in the hole.

"It's time. He immediately walked to the mouth of the cave, and the Zakutu people also stood up, and gathered around him and behind him.

"Ah Cai!" Char looked back at the young man Zaku, "Take this Su Ling chick back! If she is disobedient, knock her out!"

Char looked at Su Ling, this chick was very depressed, she had talked to Garin before, but from the results of the conversation, she was scolded fiercely, and she didn't dare to do it again.

"Remember, if you don't obey, you will knock her out. After Char finished speaking, he looked at the cave in front of him, which was dark and dark, without any lustre.

He was about to step in, when he suddenly stopped, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of the damn turtle's mouth...... As soon as he saw this smile, Tadora, who was still standing beside him, immediately felt a chill in his heart, and instinctively felt a little wrong, and subconsciously dodged to the side.

But it was too late.

Char grabbed the magician's clothes and threw Todora into the cave like a chicken.

"Ahh

The magician's screams came from the cave, and the sound was falling all the way down, and after a while, there was a "plop" sound from the bottom of the cave, and there was a faint sound of splashing.

"Ahh

Char smiled: "It looks like a hole falling down...... Well, it's not too deep to listen to, and there's water. ”

Just as Char turned his head and laughed, several Zaku warriors standing beside him maintained a unified movement: they took a step back at the same time.

"Alright, the road has been explored, let's go on our own. ”

After saying that, Char pinched his nose with one hand, and then strode into the hole.................. At the mouth of the cave, after Char jumped down, the other Zaku warriors jumped in one by one without hesitation, and the last one to jump in was Garin, who glared at Ah Cai and admonished in Zakutu: "Remember, you take Su Ling away immediately!

With that, Garin strode in.

After Ah Cai watched everyone jump into the cave, Su Ling was by his side, and he immediately sighed at Su Ling: "You heard it, stop messing around, it's not a joke!"

Su Ling stared at the mouth of the cave with wide eyes, she bit her lip hard, and then just as she was about to speak, Ah Cai immediately waved her hand: "Don't try to convince me! It's impossible! I have to take you away!"

Su Ling let Ah Cai pull his arm, and a strange smile suddenly flashed on the beautiful face of this little girl.

"Acai, you seem to be ...... I forgot one thing. ”

"Huh?

.................. Thump!!

Because he had been prepared and knew that there was a pool below, Char closed his mouth and pinched his nose when he fell into the water, but he didn't choke on the water.

After falling into the water, he immediately sank, heard the sound of gurgling water next to his ears, and then kicked his legs hard, and was ready to swim to the side and rise again.

But the problem is, he doesn't know how big this pool really is!

In fact, Char swam so hard to the side that he hit his head on a rock. With a bang, a thought flashed through his mind: Damn! This pool is small!!

After Char hit his head, he subconsciously opened his mouth, and immediately water poured into his mouth, and he endured the pain and struggled to come out of the water, and then he felt a pair of thin hands tugging at him.

Char climbed to the case, and heard Tatara complaining, "Master, you are so despicable......!

Char suddenly crawled to the side and spit out a big "wow".

The damn pool, the water in it, I don't know what it was, stinks like a nightmare!Char poured a mouthful of it, and was almost so disgusted that she vomited her dinner.

In the pool behind him, the Zaku people were still jumping down from it, Char vomited for a while, and then shook his head, his whole body was soaked with stinky water, this smell could not be shaken, Char could only pinch his nose and scold: "Okay, don't complain about Tadoro, I'm just joking with you." ”

"Joke?" called Todora.

"Of course. Char patted him on the shoulder: "First, this cave is usually for the Great Chief and the High Priest to enter and exit, so there won't be any danger below!...... Again, remind you that the next time you say something bad about me, just remember to say it silently in your heart, haha!"

The place where everyone jumped down was about ten meters deep from the ground above, and there was naturally no light below, and Char was surprised that his owl-like eyes, which he had always prided himself on, couldn't see anything here! Originally, he was born with night eyes, and he could see in dark places, but here, like others, he stretched out his hand in a dark cloud and didn't want to see anything clearly.

Listening to the movement, all the Zaku people crawled out of the stinky pool, and from the echo of the sound, it was obvious that the space in this place below was not small, because there were some vague echoes.

At this moment, there was a "poof", and a ball of light lit up in the darkness.

Standing there, she held the staff in her hand, and the light that burst from the crystal at the top of the staff seemed to be some kind of phosphorus burning effect, like fireworks, but through the light, everyone finally saw this place clearly.

This is indeed an underground cavern, but the space is obviously larger than Char had expected! It is at least dozens of paces wide, and the surrounding walls are full of hard stones, Char ran to the side and wiped it, the tentacles were cold and hard, and there was not a trace of dirt! It was as if this was a stone mine that had been dug out of the middle.

However, after seeing this clearly, everyone was immediately faced with a problem!

This underground cavern, in addition to the passage above the head, has a total of six passage openings on the surrounding walls!

“...... Which one are we going to?" Char looked at it.

Holding the staff that served as a torch, she looked at Char coldly, her whole body was soaked, the already loose robe was tightly attached to her body, her hot body In this case, the curves were undoubtedly revealed, and those seductive arcs made Char immediately subconsciously turn her head.

"You are the leader, you call the shots. The witch doctor said coldly.

Char opened her mouth.

I'm in charge?

Damn it!

Looking at the six passages around - each of them was identical, and there was no difference at all.

The Great Chief, he must know what is going on...... Damn, since he knows there are six passages here, he should have told me before we left!

Char secretly slandered.

But this time Char was wrong to blame the Great Chief, it was not that the Great Chief didn't want to say, but he didn't know which way to go, because every time he came here, he would get the guidance of Damandras, and he would walk through one of the passages, and each time he walked differently! Anyway, he would eventually see the Holy Serpent inside.

"I'm in charge...... I'm in charge......" Char grabbed her hair, and then with a heartfelt twist, she grabbed her short knife and threw it above her head...... When there was a thud, the knife fell to the ground, Char glanced at the direction the blade was pointing in the ground, and pointed with his hand: "Let's go here!"

All the Zaku Tu people had a strange face, and Char immediately said loudly without waiting for others to speak, "Unless you have a better choice?"

Everyone stopped talking, but stared at Char for a while, and then holding her glowing staff, she was the first to walk in the direction Char was pointing. The rest of the Zaku were silent and followed their witch doctor down.

Char turned his head and glared at Tatara fiercely, "What about you? Do you have an opinion?"

Duo Duo Luo immediately dodged a few steps to the side like a shè, shook his head vigorously, and had a pious and awe-inspiring expression: "Good choice! I believe that your choice must be correct, wise and martial master!"

Char snorted: "Damn, don't be so disgusting, I know you must be scolding me in your stomach." ”

Dotara cried and sighed: "Wise and martial master, you guessed it right again......"
