Chapter 121 Little Black Snake
The night is as dark as ink.
Several orcs fled in the mountains and forests.
A silent black light flashed by, and several people fell to the ground and died.
The high-level orc in the lead was cut in half, and the iron cage in his hand rolled to the ground.
Before he died, his pair of crimson, deep-set eyes were fixed on the black-robed man who stepped out of the darkness, and he cursed with his last bit of strength.
"Quan Xiu, you! How dare you betray our clan? If the clan leader knows your true identity, you will be killed without a burial place..."
The man waved out a black energy, and several people turned into ashes in an instant, leaving only a few crystal cores that flew into his palm.
The cage opened, and out from the grass dotted with white flowers swam a rather pretty little black snake.
"Xiao Qi, come here."
The man half-knelt down, gently took the little black snake that swam towards his palm, and gently tapped its little head with his cold, slender fingertips.
"Don't run around next time."
"Daddy, they can't do anything to me. I just want to see where they take me to play. I'm so bored staying in the mansion every day." The little black snake spoke in human language, sounded milky, and skillfully opened its mouth to take the crystal stone handed to it by the man and ate it.
Soon, the little black snake yawned, curled up its slender little body, and lay in the palm of the hand, feeling sleepy.
A blood-soaked orc in black appeared out of nowhere, one hand clutching his bleeding shoulder, his other arm missing. He looked utterly miserable. He half-knelt beside the man, his head bowed in panic as he said, "Ni, someone's breaking in! I'm afraid you'll need to intervene this time..."
The man in black didn't say anything, but just gently stroked the little snake. It felt comfortable, revealing its silver belly, and its slender little tail swung happily.
"Ni, Ni Xia?"
The orc looked up at the man in black clothes in front of him with some fear.
He wore a skull mask, with a delicate and beautiful cold white jaw, and his long, ink-like hair was tied up with a golden crown and scattered on his back. He was tall and slender, and dressed in a dark gold and black brocade python robe. He looked cold and noble to the extreme, and his temperament was mysterious and unpredictable, making people dare not look directly at him.
After coaxing the little snake to sleep, he spoke slowly, "Who is this person who can actually hurt a peak demon king like you?"
"A pure-blooded phoenix! That brat is quite powerful... I was careless..." The black-clothed orc gritted his teeth, his face grim.
"Haha, Alma, you've made this mess yourself, so you should clean it up yourself. I don't want you to ruin my long-planned plan." A tall, thin, and charming man walked out from behind the tree and said sarcastically, "You're not good enough to accomplish anything, but you're more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. That's what I'm talking about, you idiot! You never completed the tasks I gave you once, and in the end I had to do it myself. If you had given the task to me, the old man would have died long ago, and we would have been able to take the things and leave."
"You're talking without any worries, but that old man said that once he died, the ancient tomb would never be found! That's why I didn't dare to act right away!"
The sky was bright, and in the distant horizon, a fiery red phoenix quickly descended.
"He actually chased me!" Alma turned her head and stared at the sky with an ugly expression.
The seductive man laughed strangely and said, "Let me do it. I will definitely kill him."
"It's not a good time to expose myself yet. I don't want to alert the enemy." The man in black said indifferently without even glancing at me.
The little snake suddenly woke up, raised its little head and looked straight towards the sky.
The man was stunned for a moment, then he raised his eyes and glanced at the sky. In a moment, he withdrew his gaze and turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared.
At the same time, countless star beasts became demonized and went mad, shaking the heavens and the earth, like purgatory.
…
It took Si Ye a long time to deal with these monsters.
After searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the man in black. He only found scattered bloodstains on the ground. He cursed softly, "Damn it, he got away!"
Sang Luo yawned while lying on his back. She had been working hard all day and night and had not been able to get a good night's sleep.
Si Ye inspected the entire area again, and after making sure that there were no scattered escaped monsters, he settled in a southern city and asked for a top-class room in the inn, with beds facing each other.
"What is the current situation in the south?" Sang Luo asked him.
Many border cities were attacked by monsters, but strangely, from what she saw along the way, most of the cities in the south were basically unaffected, which was very different from the rumors, as if someone was secretly creating momentum.
"Not long ago, the south did experience a fierce battle, but the situation is now basically stable. Many monsters took the opportunity to escape to the border."
"What about the Teng Snake Clan?"
The Teng Snake Clan is the oldest and most powerful race in the southern continent. Sang Luo had previously made inquiries and found that seven out of ten Beast Kings in the south were from the Teng Snake Clan.
Unfortunately, the Teng Snake Clan has difficulty in conceiving offspring and is gradually declining. No pure-blooded offspring has been born in the past hundred years.
Quan Xiu is just a half-blood Teng Snake.
Even the current Beast King of the Teng Snake Clan is a mixed-blood Teng Snake, unable to compete for the position of Beast King in the South.
The situation in the south is complicated, with several forces secretly competing with each other. However, at present, the Teng Snake Clan has a rich family heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is difficult for outsiders to shake its power. It is still the undisputed overlord of the south.
How could such a large and powerful race be easily exterminated?
Sang Luo didn't believe it.
The facts were exactly as she expected.
"The Teng Snake Clan has suffered a significant blow, but it's far from being destroyed. Neighborhood rumors are always exaggerated, so just listen to them and don't take them seriously." Si Ye stored the map in his space. "But some time ago, I heard that someone took advantage of the situation and broke into the ancient forbidden area of the Teng Snake Clan. The restriction was broken, and everything inside was taken away."
"To prevent the escape of large numbers of magical beasts and to capture this fugitive, the major beast kings in the south have joined forces to seal off the south, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving."
"By the way? Do you know this person named Quan Xiu?"
"I know. It's interesting to say. The old patriarch was ambushed in the forbidden area but escaped. I heard that his only half-pure Teng Snake descendant, Quan Xiu, was also present at the time. He blocked the fatal wound for the old Beast King and was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but fortunately he was rescued and gained the old Beast King's great trust. Currently, the Teng Snake Clan is in the process of handing over power, and the next Beast King is most likely him." Si Ye raised an eyebrow and looked at Sang Luo, "You seem to care a lot about the Teng Snake Clan? And that Quan Xiu? Do you know him?"
"...I'm just curious, just asking."
Sang Luo seemed to be in a low mood. He covered his head with the quilt and remained silent.
Si Ye waited for a while, and seeing that she was really asleep, he also went to sleep with her clothes on.
Early in the morning, Sang Luo was soundly sleeping when Si Ye woke him up. "Are you hungry? There's a morning market open in the alley north of the inn. I heard the food there is delicious. Do you want to go and have some?"
Sang Luo was not hungry at first, but after hearing what he said, she really became hungry, so she got up and followed him to the morning market.
It was daybreak and not many people were around, so the two of them found a good seat.
The food in the East Continent was very much to Sang Luo's taste. Sang Luo had a great appetite and ordered a bowl of fragrant wonton noodles, drinking up both the noodles and the soup.
Seeing that she was eating so happily, Si Ye ordered another bowl for her. Sang Luo burped and was full, with half a bowl left. He ate the half bowl and handed her a brocade handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
Si Ye looked at her for a while, coughed lightly and said,
"Well, I've finished my work here, and I've sent you to the south as promised. I have to go now, so let's say goodbye here."
