Chapter 121 Little Black Snake

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 had his body cut in half, and the iron cage in his hand rolled to the ground.

Before he died, his pair of scarlet, bulging eyes were fixed on the black-clothed man who stepped out of the darkness, and he cursed with his last bit of strength,

"Quan Xiu, you! How dare you betray my clan? If the clan leader knows your true identity, you will be killed without a burial place..."

The man waved out a black gas, 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, looking very cute. It opened its mouth skillfully and took the crystal stone handed to it by the man and ate it.

Soon, the little black snake yawned, curled up its slender body, and lay sleepily in the palm of the hand.

A bloody orc in black appeared out of nowhere, one hand covering his bleeding shoulder, the other arm missing, looking extremely miserable. He half-knelt beside the man, lowered his head and said in panic, "Ni, someone broke in! I'm afraid you'll need to take action to solve this problem..."

The man in black didn't say anything, he just stroked the little snake gently. The snake felt comfortable, revealing its silver belly, and its long and thin tail swung happily.

"Ni, Ni Xia?"

The orc raised his head with some fear and looked at the man in black in front of him.

He wore a skull mask, with a delicate and beautiful cold white jaw, and his long ink-splashed 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 extremely cold and noble, and his temperament was mysterious, making people dare not look directly at him.

After coaxing the little snake to sleep, he spoke slowly, "Who is this person who can hurt a peak demon king like you?"

"A pure-blooded phoenix! That kid is quite powerful... I was careless..." The black-clothed orc gritted his teeth, his face grim.

"Haha, Alma, you have to clean up the mess you made yourself. I don't want to ruin my long-planned plan because of you." A tall and charming man walked out from behind the tree and said sarcastically, "You are not good at doing things, but you are good at making trouble. That's what I mean, you idiot! You never completed the tasks I gave you once, and I had to do it myself in the end. If you had given the task to me at that time, the old guy would have died long ago, and we would have been able to take the things and leave."

"You are talking without any pain in your waist. But the old man said that once he died, no one would be able to find the ancient tomb! 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 unsightly look on her face.

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 had an indifferent voice without even glancing at me.

The little snake suddenly woke up, raised its little head and looked straight toward the sky.

The man was stunned for a moment, then he raised his eyes and glanced at the sky. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared.

At the same time, countless star beasts turned into demons and went mad, shaking the heavens and the earth, like purgatory.

……

Si Ye took 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 some blood on the ground. He cursed, "Damn it, he got away!"

Sang Luo yawned on his back. She had not been able to get a good night's sleep due to the hard work all day and night.

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-notch 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 had seen along the way, most of the cities in the south were basically unaffected, which was completely 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 basically stable now, and 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 had difficulty in conceiving offspring and gradually declined. No pure-blooded offspring had been born in a 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, and is 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 solid foundation 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 huge and powerful race be easily exterminated?

Sang Luo didn't believe it.

The fact was exactly as she expected.

"The Teng Snake tribe has suffered a big blow, but it is far from being destroyed. Neighborhood rumors are always exaggerated. Just listen to them and don't take them seriously." Si Ye put the map into 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 tribe. The ban was broken and everything inside was taken away."

"To prevent the escape of large numbers of magical beasts and to capture this fugitive, the beast kings in the south have joined forces to seal off the south, with no one allowed to leave or come in."

"By the way? Do you know this person called Quan Xiu?"

"Yes, it's interesting to say. The old patriarch was attacked in the forbidden area, but he escaped. I heard that his only half-pure Teng Snake descendant, Quan Xiu, was also there 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 later and gained the great trust of the old Beast King. Currently, the Teng Snake tribe is in the process of handing over power, and he is most likely to be the next Beast King." Si Ye raised his eyebrows and looked at Sang Luo, "You seem to care a lot about the Teng Snake tribe? 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 became quiet.

Si Ye waited for a while, and seeing that she was really asleep, he also fell asleep with her clothes on.

Early in the morning, Sang Luo was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Si Ye. "Are you hungry? There is a morning market open in the alley north of the inn. I heard that the food there is delicious. Do you want to go and eat?"

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 of East Continent was very much to Sang Luo's taste. Sang Luo's appetite was whetted. He ordered a bowl of fragrant wonton noodles and drank up both the noodles and the soup.

Seeing how delicious she was eating, Si Ye ordered another bowl for her. Sang Luo burped and was full, so there was still 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 have finished my work here, and I have sent you to the south as promised. I should leave now. Let's say goodbye here."
