Chapter 260 Kurkan's Advantage
Jiang Xi drank the medicine and drifted off to sleep again.
Actually, according to the previous time conversion, time in the dream shouldn't have passed so quickly, and Duan Si shouldn't have reached the transformation stage so early.
But since it has happened, all we can do is deal with it as it comes.
Jiang Xi returned to her dream and found Duan Si on a big tree by the river.
Duan Si hung upside down, his snake body agape in surprise, his mouth agape and his forked tongue flicking out as he asked.
"Why did you come today!"
The childish voice has transformed into a teenager's voice.
Jiang Xi laughed and said, "Of course it's because I thought you'd be transforming soon, so I have to come often so I don't miss your transformation."
Duan Si's eyes flickered instantly, and he began to stammer.
On his jet-black scales, a blush seemed to rise, and pink bubbles inexplicably appeared.
"There are still two days left~"
"Two days?" Jiang Xi asked thoughtfully.
Time seems to fly by again.
However, two days is just right.
Jiang Xi stretched out a finger and poked Duan Si's snake body, which was noticeably thicker.
"Shall we go somewhere farther away today?"
Duan Si tilted the snake's head, "A farther place?"
How far is it?
"Hmm..." Jiang Xi stroked her chin and thought for a moment.
From the memories she saw, the White-bellied Serpent Clan invaded via waterways.
So she said, "Let's follow the river and explore outwards!"
Duan Si naturally agreed.
As long as she's willing to come, however she wants to play, wherever she wants to play, he'll agree without hesitation.
This time, however, Jiang Xi also asked him to bring along his colorful snake companions. With many snakes, there is strength, and they will surely be able to find traces of the White-bellied Snake Clan.
Duan Si was unwilling; he only wanted to spend time alone with her.
So, Jiang Xi put her deception skills to use.
"We're playing hide-and-seek with snakes, in pairs. If you get caught..."
As she hesitated about what punishment would attract the snake, she suddenly noticed knotted vines on the tree, and her eyes lit up.
"The loser has to tie themselves into a knot and hang themselves on a tree!"
Duan Si immediately became interested.
"Tie it into a knot, okay!"
He immediately gathered his colorful friends and told them about his future queen's snake-dodging game.
The locals are used to this.
For many years now, Duan Si has been saying that there is a particularly beautiful female who often comes to play with him, and that he will marry her after he transforms into human form.
At first, the friends were very worried and told the father and mother to quickly find a witch doctor to treat Duan Si's brain.
But despite the treatment, the condition never improved.
Later, they observed that apart from seeing a non-existent female, there was nothing else wrong with her, so they stopped paying attention to her.
The friends joked.
"You're lucky to have a female team."
Duan Si chuckled.
"We'll transform in two days, then you can go find females. The orcs of Kurkan are quite good-looking after they transform!"
The group of friends looked at each other and gave each other helpless smiles.
Jiang Xi specifically told Duan Si.
"Waterway, we can only hide in the waterway. Today we're playing a game of hiding from snakes in the water."
Duan Si readily agreed and repeated the rules to his friends.
The guys nodded and said "Ah ah" to the snake head.
It's likely that Duan Si's condition will never be cured.
After the arrangements were made, the colorful snakes scattered and fled. At first, Duan Si was the snake catcher, and whoever was caught would become the snake catcher.
Jiang Xi sat on a floating wooden plank, and Duan Si used his snake tail to hook her and pull her along in the waterway.
Kuerkan has a network of waterways that branch out in all directions and are covered with aquatic vegetation. Once you get into the vegetation, it is very difficult to be discovered.
Duan Si and Jiang Xi searched for a long time but couldn't find the first snake.
Jiang Xi's purpose was not to play hide-and-seek with snakes.
She tried her best to direct Duan Si to search further afield.
She was hungry, but instead of starting a fire, she picked some wild fruit from the tree to eat.
Duan Si was puzzled, but didn't say anything; she could eat whatever she wanted.
Around dusk, the two had already traveled a long way from Kurkan along the waterway.
Jiang Xi hesitated, wondering whether to continue forward or turn back.
But at that moment, Duan Si stood up and warily scanned his surroundings.
Jiang Xi's heart stirred.
"Duan Si said in a low voice."
"Wait here for me a moment, I'm going to check out the front, something's not right."
Jiang Xi nodded quickly and gave an OK sign.
Before leaving, Duan Si was a little worried, so he told her to hide in the water and use the vegetation on the riverbank to cover her scent.
Jiang Xi did as he was told and urged him to hurry up.
If she wasn't mistaken, they should be from the White-bellied Serpent Clan.
Duan Si left after visiting the place three times.
He left quickly and returned even faster. As soon as he got back, he immediately pulled Jiang Xi out of the vegetation and made her sit on the wooden plank.
"Let's hurry, it's the White-bellied Serpent Clan."
Jiang Xi left with a satisfied expression.
Throughout the journey, Duan Si remained vigilant. Whenever he heard any noise, he would stop to check and make sure there were no problems ahead before continuing with Jiang Xi.
The two didn't return to Kurkan until long after dark.
When he returned, his snake companions had already finished dinner. Seeing him come back, they couldn't help but laugh at him.
"You swam past me three times, holding onto a plank! Three times!"
"My tail tip almost touched your scales! And you're still baring your fangs, grinning like an idiot while talking to this wooden board!"
"..."
The friends exchanged sarcastic remarks, their mockery reaching its peak.
Normally, Duan Si would definitely argue with them using force, but today he had important business to attend to.
He hurriedly went to find his father and mother and told them about seeing the white-bellied snake tribe outside Kurkan.
The entire city of Kuerkan is on high alert in response.
After Duan Si finished speaking, he went back to look for Jiang Xi, only to find that she was gone.
He looked into the vast darkness and murmured to himself.
"You absolutely must come to my transformation ceremony in two days..."
Jiang Xi slept for most of the day, relying on the herbs.
As the effects of the herbs wore off, and with noises coming from outside, she woke up.
She looked at the familiar house and thought of Kurkan from her dream.
Kurkan discovered the White-bellied Serpent Clan ahead of time, giving him time to prepare.
In that case, such tragedies should never happen again.
Jiang Xi lifted the thin blanket and went outside.
In the courtyard, the green-haired beast guard was arguing with Mu Ling.
"The female envoy should go to the holy land."
Mu Ling: "The female master is still sleeping."
Beast Guard: "It's already this late, and it'll be dark soon if we don't go now."
Mu Ling remained unmoved, saying, "The mistress is sleeping."
Yi Yuexi ate nuts and watched the excitement from the side.
Smoke was rising from the kitchen.
When Jiang Xi appeared, Yi Yuexi was the first to notice her.
"The female master has woken up."
The beast guard was overjoyed and quickly ran over.
"Female Envoy, it's time to go to the Holy Land."
At this moment, Lu Liufeng poked his head out of the kitchen.
"My lady, shall we have dinner before we go?"
The beast guard's face darkened, and he knelt down on one knee.
"Female Envoy, please come with me to the Holy Land first, then come back for dinner."
Jiang Xi scratched her head awkwardly.
"Then, let's go to the Holy Land first."
