Chapter 6 Chapter 6
Yan Luoyue was not the only one who was paralyzed.
Yan Gan, who was being stared at by the little snake, also felt a sudden sluggishness and stiffness coming from his body.
The feeling of stiffness lasted only half a second before Yan Gan came to his senses.
He immediately turned half his back and held Yan Luoyue tightly in his arms.
The lively boy, who had always been energetic and talkative when we met, looked sullen for the first time.
"Uncle, this snake is so dangerous, you should at least explain it to me clearly. It's okay for me to be looked at by it, but my sister is born weak, what if..."
Looking down at Yan Luoyue in his arms, Yan Gan was so distressed that his facial features were tangled together:
"I finally managed to give her some color, but now her face is pale again."
He pulled Yan Luoyue's hand out from the swaddling clothes, held it up to the light, and instantly gasped:
"Just one glance from that snake almost turned me into a semi-transparent person!"
The demon guest came up to take a look and waved his hands to apologize:
"I'm sorry, I thought the children of you turtles were born strong and healthy, and I didn't pay attention just now... Alas, little brother, you don't know that this demon snake is very difficult to deal with!"
When it comes to this devil snake, the guests from the demon clan have a lot of grievances to complain about.
Originally, this little snake was not very big, at least no longer than a palm, and it was wrapped in a thick layer of demonic energy.
It was hidden in the thick magic mist and blended with the magic energy overflowing from the seal. No one noticed this little thing at all.
But the team soon noticed something was wrong.
——Because they always move forward one step at a time.
The visual effect is like a puppet on a puppet stage whose joints have not been oiled for a long time.
The team members took a step forward, paused, lifted their feet, paused, turned around to talk to their teammates, and paused again.
Those who know say that they are mortals and have been ambushed, while those who don’t think that their parts are aging and are about to be scrapped.
Yan Gan listened attentively and said, "How strange! This must be because it is watching you?"
"Yeah." The guest gritted his teeth. "We all said at the time, damn it, fuck your grandma. If I knew who was behind this, I would have to chop your head off and stuff it into my ass."
Three gale talismans were thrown out, temporarily blowing away the thick magic fog that covered the road ahead.
In the situation where the surrounding environment was completely empty, the little snake, still wrapped in a demonic aura, stood out particularly.
The guest covered his cheek as if he had a toothache and said, "This little thing is really unexpected."
Yan Gan said: "How do you say it?"
The guest was very surprised: "It not only did not run away after seeing more than ten of us, but also talked to us!"
Hearing this, Yan Gan couldn't help showing a little surprise.
Low-level monsters bully the weak and fear the strong, and seek profit and avoid harm.
Usually when encountering a large group of people, lone monsters would wish they could grow eight legs and run away. How could they have the time to engage in a fight with humans?
Yan Gan asked hurriedly: "What did it say?"
The demon uncle slapped his thigh heavily:
"It said, 'Fuck you, I'm going to cut your head off and stuff it into my asshole!' - Its tone was so arrogant. If snakes didn't have arms, it would have given me a hug right there!"
“…”
Not to mention Yan Gan, even Yan Luoyue was speechless for a moment, thinking that this provocation skill had reached the pinnacle, and this little snake had really figured it out.
There is no need to elaborate on the subsequent process.
In short, the group surrounded the demon snake, and after a fierce and noisy fight, they finally captured it.
The snake's body is too small, and even the smallest cage has a wider gap than it.
It just so happened that they had a few extra magic-locking nails on hand, so they pressed them down on the little snake.
Yan Gan thought for a moment and said truthfully: "Actually, it may not be provoking on purpose."
After all, the demon snake spoke only the same words that the demon guest had spoken before.
Judging from its size, this demon snake is still very young. It probably doesn't know what it is saying and is just repeating it in a daze.
The guest understood what Yan Gan meant and said calmly, "Maybe, but the exorcism work is over."
They were so engrossed in their conversation that their attention had long since shifted away from the cage.
No one noticed that the little snake, which was nailed straight and almost bleeding dry, was trying hard to stretch its body in one direction.
It used all its strength to move its small round head slightly to nudge the wooden hairpin that had fallen into the gap of the cage.
I'm afraid even the little green snake itself doesn't understand where this obsession with death comes from.
But the little snake subconsciously felt that it was something it was very close to.
As soon as the scarred little round head touched the wooden hairpin, the evil aura surrounding the little snake's body faded visibly.
In addition, a "qi" that is difficult for ordinary people to detect with their naked eyes flowed from the wooden hairpin into the tattered body, injecting new vitality into the little snake.
The muscles twitched and three magic nails were squeezed out of the snake's body.
The snake's thin tongue moved silently, and the scent from the wooden hairpin flowed through the air, being absorbed into the vomeronasal organ without a trace left.
Strangely enough, this scene did not attract the attention of anyone present.
Without anyone noticing, the little green snake deftly slipped through the gap in the cage.
Before escaping into the nearest clump of dead grass, the little snake twisted its neck strangely, as if it wanted to look back, but was forcibly suppressed by reason.
In just the time it took to breathe, the little snake coiled up, tore off a piece of scale from its tail that was about to fall off, threw it on the ground, and disappeared without looking back.
The tip of the crystal clear snake scales was pointing straight towards Yan Gan's arms, just as the little snake wanted to look but forced itself to do so.
…………
By the time everyone discovered that the little snake had escaped, it was already a cup of tea later.
The guests checked the entire yard with curses, tore up several paper talismans that tracked evil spirits, and then, holding on to the last glimmer of hope, searched for suspicious traces of blood.
However, the previous act of cleaning up the mud demon made the whole yard dirty.
The ground was filled with thick demonic energy and spots of blood, and there was no sign that a small snake had ever escaped from here.
"Well, it's injured so badly, it probably won't live long." The demon uncle muttered.
He reminded Yan Gan: "After we set off, you turtles should be more careful and don't get bitten by the demon snake again."
Yan Gan recalled the appearance of the demon snake and felt that it was only a hair's breadth away from being a dried snake. It was probably going to die quietly in some corner.
Just as he was about to leave the courtyard, Yan Luoyue in his arms became anxious.
She screamed "Ahhh" and slapped Yan Gan's arm as a reminder.
Of course, with Yan Luoyue's current strength, the feeling of slapping is no different from that of a kitten's paw pad.
Yan Gan was so cute: "What's wrong, sister?"
Yan Luoyue looked at him with eyes wide open: her hairpin had fallen into the cage and she hadn't picked it out yet!
That is Xiao Ming’s water reservoir, the only equipment that Yan Luoyue currently has to add blood, and it is a magical artifact that can increase her health by 20 times!
With her guidance, Yan Gan found the target.
Considering the baby's frail body and fearing that the hairpin might get dirty, Yan Gan did not give the hairpin directly to Yan Luoyue. Instead, he put it in his arms first, preparing to return it to her after washing it.
Then... as expected, on the way back, Yan Gan had a nosebleed again.
Yan Luoyue: “…”
It's really a bold move. I guess even Xiao Ming's water tank couldn't be imagined, but someone dared to try it a second time.
Staring at his fingers stained with fresh red, Yan Gan was puzzled: "Am I having a hot temper lately?"
This is true as long as he is a person.
But his original form was clearly a turtle, and turtles are cold-blooded animals!
Yan Luoyue turned away, looked at the sky, the earth and the distance, pretending that she did not feel guilty.
——————————
After many twists and turns, Xiao Ming's water tank returned to Yan Luoyue's hands.
As soon as Yan Luoyue got the wooden hairpin, her expression changed.
As an excellent weapon refiner, how could Yan Luoyue not notice the changes in the magic weapon he had been using day and night.
She could tell at a glance that the "quenching" of this wooden hairpin had been changed.
In the process of refining, the last and most important step is quenching.
For example: if the refiner is compared to taking a photo without a filter, quenching is equivalent to beautifying the photo after taking it.
If the quenching is done well, the magic weapon will be more powerful and may even have some additional abilities.
But quenching requires specific tools and a specific environment.
Yan Luoyue had been separated from Mu Zan for less than an incense stick of time today. How was it possible that someone had modified the "quenching" of the equipment right under her nose?
Oh, wait, there is a possibility.
Xiao Ming's water reservoir is the equipment that Yan Luoyue brought out from "All Worlds Become One".
In the setting of "One World", in addition to the training of the weaponsmith, "adventure events" may also change the equipment and even the status of the characters.
This has happened many times.
For example, a male player once fell in love with an NPC female seahorse in the game because of his excessive courage (and temper).
After the relationship ended, the player discovered that there was an additional "pregnant" sign after her character status.
The customer service responded to this matter: That's right, after all, the baby seahorses are brought up by the seahorse father. Don't worry, you will also get a limited-time baby pouch in the next 20 days.
The male player: “…”
For example, a stupid player, when fighting against a dungeon BOSS, the King of Qin, used his superb movement skills to lead the BOSS, the King of Qin, around a pillar 36,000 times until he killed the BOSS.
After the dungeon ended, the player discovered that his boots had an additional attribute of "Magic Circles of Love".
From now on, as long as the player wears those boots, they will spiral forward forever.
Today, Yan Luoyue's only adventure was meeting that little snake.
Lifting the wooden hairpin, Yan Luoyue faced the light, placed it in front of her eyes and slowly turned it.
If an ordinary craftsman were here, he wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between the front and back of the hairpin.
But at this moment, even without any cultivation, Yan Luoyue could still accurately judge with his naked eyes that Mu Zan's attacking ability had been enhanced.
As for what has been added specifically...
Yan Luoyue calmly opened the equipment page.
——You never imagined it, this hairpin is a game item, and she has the right to check its real-time properties!
In fact, with Yan Luoyue's ability in refining instruments, even without directly checking the real-time status, she has several ways to test the wooden hairpin.
It was just that due to her physical condition, Yan Luoyue was too lazy to bother with that.
【Equipment Name: Xiao Ming's Reservoir
Attribute 1: HP 20
Attribute 2: Every 15 minutes, 10% of the wearer's overall health will be deducted.
On the page, the two basic properties remain unchanged.
This was in line with Yan Luoyue's expectations.
And in them
[Attribute 3: When using this equipment to attack, the attribute 2 time will be randomly shortened to 3 to 5 minutes. After the battle is determined to be out of the battle, attribute 2 will be restored. ]
In "One World", the standard for escaping the battle is the death of the attacked person, or the wearer has not been attacked for ten minutes.
Yan Luoyue patiently interpreted this new attribute.
That is to say, if she stabbed Yan Gan with the hairpin and still held it, the hairpin would deduct 10% of her health in three minutes at the fastest and five minutes at the slowest.
But if she stabbed Yan Gan with the hairpin and then stuffed the hairpin back into Yan Gan's hand, the wearer of the hairpin would become Yan Gan.
In the past, it took fifteen minutes for a nosebleed to occur when holding a hairpin, but now three to five minutes is enough.
From this perspective, the new features are inconvenient.
If Yan Luoyue accidentally stabs someone with the wooden hairpin, she will enter a state of rapid blood loss.
But this kind of blood loss state can be completely avoided: at worst, Yan Luoyue can put the hairpin aside and wait for ten minutes until she can get out of the battle.
And, if you think about it from another perspective...
Pinching her round little chin, Yan Luoyue raised the wooden hairpin and looked at it in deep thought.
As the saying goes, don't pull a sheep by itself, and don't make turtle jelly by itself.
Let her take a longer-term view, away from herself and Yan Gan——
Imagine that if one day she meets someone she hates very much, could she first stab herself with the hairpin and then give the hairpin to the other person?
If you are lucky enough, half an hour will be enough for your opponent to become hard.
At this glance...
As expected, this newly added attribute was created solely for the purpose of fraud!
Thinking of this, Yan Luoyue's eyes became increasingly complicated as she looked at Mu Zan.
Given that the additional attributes obtained from "adventure events" are often closely related to the content of the event.
Yan Luoyue had every reason to suspect that the reason for this additional attribute was that she had been scammed once by that particularly beautiful little snake without noticing!
