Chapter 81 Return Gift to Mr. Orochi
The Fairy Forest has entered the rainy season, and it rains half of the time in a month, which has caused considerable trouble to the animals and monsters living in the forest.
Fortunately, there is Lake Pogaman and many large and small rivers to relieve the pressure on the forest. Adult fairies often go there to drain water in the rain to prevent floods.
The weather is sunny today. The heavy dark clouds have dispersed, revealing the long-lost sunshine.
Shu Li sat on the back of the giant demon bird, flying in the sky, feeling at ease.
Duo Lei flew high and fast, and the airflow had a strong impact. He skillfully set up a transparent safety shield on the bird's back to protect himself.
An hour later, Dorei carried Shuli to the eastern part of the forest, circled in the air for several minutes, slowly descended, found a towering tree, stretched out a pair of powerful claws, and landed steadily on a branch high up in the giant tree.
"Chirp~"
Dore reminded the little elf on his back that they had reached their destination.
Shu Li yawned and crawled out from under the thick feathers.
The feathers were so warm that he almost fell asleep.
He flapped his translucent wings, which were like gauze, and flew down from the bird's back. "Thank you, Dore."
"Chiu~" Duo Lei responded, flapped his wings and flew away from the giant tree.
This is the territory of the magic snake. Any high-level foreign monsters entering without permission is a provocation.
Duo Lei was a fourth-order demon bird and did not want to conflict with the seventh-order peak demon snake. After sending Shu Li away, he decisively went to the nearby public hunting area to satisfy his hunger.
Shu Li watched Duo Lei leave and flew down along the trunk of the giant tree.
Thinking back to the first time he was brought here by the big silly bird, in order to find the direction of the sacred tree, he flew upwards from the bottom, going through a lot of hardships and almost falling halfway. Fortunately, Mr. Big Snake helped him and he successfully reached the treetops.
Ten years later, he is no longer that naive young cub.
An intermediate magician who can control magic with ease, possesses considerable combat power, and even his flying speed is ten times faster than before.
Shu Li folded his wings, jumped off the branch, and fell freely.
Falling fast, fearless.
He even felt that the descent speed was too slow, so he took out a gorgeous and elegant magic wand from the storage ring and cast a wind magic on himself.
In an instant, he fell even faster, descending over two hundred meters. If it were an ordinary person, they would have been terrified.
Shu Li, who has adapted to her fairy identity and overcome her fear of heights, has become accustomed to it.
Not only is he not afraid, he can also perform some difficult maneuvers in the air to avoid leaves and branches that block his way.
After falling more than three hundred meters, and still one or two hundred meters from the ground, a huge shadow suddenly appeared below.
Shu Li felt a huge pressure. He waved his magic wand to disperse the acceleration magic attached to his body. He spread out his gauze-like wings and flapped them gently a few times, effectively buffering his falling speed.
The black shadow moved upwards very quickly and was close to Shu Li in just a few breaths.
When Shu Li saw the giant black shadow, a joyful expression appeared on her delicate face, and her tender green eyes were as bright as stars.
"Mr. Orochi——"
He shouted, flapped his wings, and landed lightly on the head of "Black Shadow".
“Hiss—”
The giant demon snake caught the young fairy who jumped down from above, circled around the tree trunk, and rested its head on a nearby thick branch.
Shu Li landed on the branch nimbly and came face to face with the demon snake.
"Good morning, Bazion."
The young fairy with a golden ponytail greeted the demon snake with vigor and vitality.
Although Shu Li usually calls the demon snake Mr. Orochi, when they meet formally, he will politely call him by his name.
"Good morning, Sperian." The demon snake's voice was a little hoarse and lazy, as if he had just woken up.
"Sorry to bother you so early," Shu Li said apologetically. Mr. Snake likes to sleep in, and the afternoon is his active (hunting) time.
"It's okay." The demon snake has always been generous to his friends and will not get angry over trivial matters.
What's more, the little elf is a good friend of it who exchanges gifts with it. They have been friends for ten years and have a very close relationship.
Shu Li beamed. "Thank you for the gift. I like it very much."
Half a month ago, Mr. Orochi gave him a bow.
The appraiser determined it was a seventh-tier weapon crafted by dwarves, with considerable destructive power, suitable for use by elves or goblins. Its only drawback was that it couldn't be scaled down.
Shu Li cannot use it for the time being. He has to wait until he becomes a high-level magician and releases his original power to become stronger before he can use it.
"As long as you like it." The demon snake lived on the edge of the forest, encountering reckless adventurers every month and "collecting" many valuable treasures. The bow was a high-level weapon "dropped" by an adventurer last month, but it was useless to it, so it might as well give it to the fairy child to play with.
Shu Li vaguely knew the origin of the gift, but he never asked.
Because he understood Mr. Orochi's character, he was generous, helpful, strong and low-key. As long as he didn't invade its territory or deliberately annoy it, it would never attack him.
"I brought you a return gift." Shu Li put the magic wand into the storage ring and took out a green fruit as big as a football. "This is a kaka fruit I picked in the orchard in the Elven Kingdom. It's juicy, nutritious, and tastes great. Try it."
The demon snake rolled its large eyes and stared at the green fruit that looked like small beads to it.
It is a carnivore and does not need fruits. It can only eat a few fruits throughout the year. However, since the little goblin is very keen on feeding it, it has increased the number of times it eats fruits.
The fruits from the Elf Kingdom are extraordinary and cannot be eaten by ordinary monsters.
Under Shu Li's expectant gaze, the magic snake opened its mouth, and the red letter expanded and contracted, and the fruit was rolled into its mouth. It didn't even need to chew, and swallowed it directly into its throat like candy.
"I have a lot more here." Shu Li saw the demon snake eating the fruit like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and was afraid that it couldn't taste it, so he took out a bunch of fruits from the storage ring.
The demon snake spat out the red letter again, stretched and retracted it, rolled it all into its mouth, and swallowed it easily.
Shu Li wanted to continue feeding the snake, but the snake refused, saying that it was enough.
Shu Li took back the fruit with regret and took out the real gift for Mr. Orochi - a golden crystal.
This crystal is only the size of an adult's fist, hexagonal in shape, hard on the outside, with liquid flowing inside, so it is not a pure solid.
When Shu Li took it out, the demon snake's eyes suddenly shrank into vertical lines.
"This is a gift from Dragon King Harmon. He said it's the magic core of some sea beast. I thought you might need it."
Five years ago, when Harmon took the young dragon away, he promised to give him a thank-you gift.
This gift lasted for five years.
Rare and precious treasures appeared one after another, and Shu Li was overwhelmed with thank-you gifts. She wanted to refuse several times, but Harmon cleverly changed the subject every time.
In short, there are more and more treasures in his storage ring, and he can open a treasure shop.
This sea beast magic core was thrown to him by Harmon when he came to visit the Elf Kingdom last month.
Shu Li couldn't use it himself, so he thought of Mr. Orochi.
High-level magic cores are a great tonic for Warcraft. Eating them not only increases their strength but also provides a chance for advancement.
Although Harmon didn't tell him what level of magic core this was, it must be of top quality since it was made by the Dragon King.
Now, as soon as he took it out, Mr. Orochi's aura suddenly changed, and he knew that he had given the right gift.
"Are you... sure you want to give it to me?" the demon snake asked seriously.
"Sure!" Shu Li nodded and pushed the magic core towards the mouth of the magic snake.
The magic snake was silent for a moment, then swallowed the magic core in one gulp and temporarily stored it in the space capsule in its mouth.
"This is the magic core of an eighth-level sea beast. It will allow me to advance to the eighth level. Thank you, my friend."
Shu Li smiled widely upon hearing this. "Really? That's great!"
The demon snake looked at the little fairy with complicated eyes, and its tail wrapped around the tree trunk flapped intermittently.
"What do you want? I can get it for you."
The things in its space capsule are not as valuable as the eighth-level magic core, so it cannot give it away. It can only ask the little goblin what it needs.
"No, no." Shu Li waved her hand, "I don't want anything right now."
Seeing that he refused, the demon snake stopped asking and kept it in mind. When he came across a good treasure in the future, he would give it to him.
After giving the gifts, Shu Li prepared to leave.
Just as he was about to summon Dore, there was a sudden commotion under the tree.
The demon snake hissed several times, signaling Shu Li to hide his breath.
Shu Li flapped his wings and hid among the branches and leaves like lightning.
It's an invader!
Mr. Orochi's territory is at the edge of the Fairy Forest, and outside adventurers often intrude. These adventurers, inhaling the forest mist, lose their minds, and kill each other. By the time they escape to the giant tree, their lives are hanging by a thread, and Mr. Orochi is the one who picks them off.
In the past two years, Shu Li has visited Mr. Orochi more often and has met him three or four times.
When he discovered there was an intruder under the tree, he skillfully concealed his presence, hid himself, and watched Mr. Snake climb down the giant tree silently.
The invaders were three humans.
A warrior and two black magicians in gray robes.
Not a good person!
Shu Li frowned. Since starting to learn dark magic from the Elf King last month, he'd learned that black magicians were rarely good. They specialized in poisoning, cursing, stealing souls, summoning the Grim Reaper, and so on, practically tackling every evil imaginable.
These people definitely have ulterior motives for entering the Fairy Forest.
Affected by the fog, they moved slowly and stumbled to the vicinity of the giant tree. They fell to the ground one after another, making strange "ho ho" sounds from their mouths.
The demon snake crawled under the tree and watched coldly, without taking any action for the time being.
The blood-soaked warrior had the best physical strength. He approached one of the black magicians and slashed with his sword without warning.
"Ah——" Blood spurted out of the black magician's neck and he let out a shrill scream.
After killing one person, the warrior looked up to the sky and laughed: "Die! Die! All of you die! I am the strongest warrior! You are not worthy! Hahaha——"
The fog set by the Elf King on the outskirts of the Fairy Forest will amplify the malice of invaders.
In order to climb up the ladder, the warrior once used vicious means to kill all his competitors.
Now, he is immersed in memories of the past, treating his teammates as dead competitors, losing his mind and attacking crazily.
Out of a ten-member adventure team, eight died.
After killing one black magician, he approached the remaining black magicians with a sword in hand and a ferocious look on his face.
This black magician was relatively young, had done few evil things, and was less affected by the fog, so he was still somewhat conscious. When he saw the warrior kill his companion with a sword and crawl towards him gloomily, he was terrified and shouted loudly: "Hook! Hook! Wake up! I am Kahn, your teammate!"
The warrior named Hook pretended not to hear him. The more the black magician begged for mercy, the more murderous his heart became. He grabbed the black magician's head and swung his bloody sword amid the black magician's screams of terror.
"when--"
The sword fell to the ground and hit the pebbles, making a harsh sound.
The soldier spat out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down.
The black magician crawled out in panic, holding a dagger in his trembling hand, gasping for breath.
“Dead…dead…dead…” He looked dazed, and laughed sharply as if he had thought of something. “Hahahaha…hahahaha…all dead!All dead!”
The next second, the laughter stopped abruptly.
He fell on his back with the dagger that had killed his companion stuck in his chest.
The whole team was wiped out.
Although it was not the first time that Shu Li had seen such a bloody scene, he still couldn't help but feel like vomiting.
This is what happens to invaders.
Anyone who has evil in his heart and breaks into the Fairy Forest will inevitably die.
The demon snake slowly approached the three corpses and began to pick up the leftovers with skillful movements.
He pulled down the sword, magic wand, jewelry, and storage bag one by one, placed them on his head, and slowly climbed back up the tree to where Shu Li was.
"Hiss~~"
It placed the thing in front of Shu Li.
"See if there's anything you need."
Shu Li blinked.
