Chapter 871: Retribution (1)
The items in front of him were piled up like a small mountain. There were all kinds of things. In addition to herbs and ores, there were actually human weapons.
“Hehe! It’s just a robbery.” The little golden snake smiled shyly.
“Didn’t anyone realize that you’re just a strong-looking but useless guy?” Leng Ruoxue couldn’t help teasing.
“Wu… You’re the ones who are too perverted, okay?” The golden snake muttered aggrievedly, tears still flickering in its eyes.
“Damn it, how are we perverted?” Feng Da roared unhappily when he heard this.
The golden snake coiled itself into a ring in fear and buried its head, not daring to look at Feng Da and the others. Boohoo… These people were so scary. When would they leave this place! Thinking of this, it couldn’t help but pray to the heavens, “Hurry up and let these terrifying humans leave this place!”
Ren Xuan agreed with the little golden snake’s words. Boohoo… This little snake was right. These people were indeed abnormal. He was a Mystic Supremacy after all! However, he had no chance to attack in front of them. Boohoo… This hurt his pride too much.
“Little snake, are you sure you want to give us all these things?” Leng Ruoxue asked with a faint smile.
“Yes, yes, I’ll give it all to you, as long as you’re willing to let me go,” the golden snake said quickly, revealing a small head.
“But most of your things here are useless to me!” Leng Ruoxue deliberately sighed and said regretfully.
“Wu… then what will it take for you to let me go?” the golden snake asked pitifully, its eyes filled with pleading.
“Tell me first, do I have to stay in the Dark Night Seas for three months? Otherwise, I won’t be able to get out?” Leng Ruoxue asked calmly. Well! She had to confirm this.
“I think so. I’m not really sure.” The golden snake was honest.
“Aren’t you a beast from the Dark Night Seas? How can you not know?” Leng Ruoxue glared and questioned unhappily.
“Woo… you said I was a beast, too. How could I know?” the little golden snake cried. It was just a snake that liked to eat and sleep. It had been here since it was born, so naturally, it didn’t know how long it would have to stay here before it could leave, because it never wanted to leave.
“Sigh! Since you don’t know, forget it. I can’t force you,” Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
“Hehe! That’s great. You’re willing to let me go,” the golden snake said happily, but it was obvious that it had misunderstood.
“When did I say I was going to let you go?” Leng Ruoxue smiled evilly.
“Ah! What do you mean?” The golden snake’s eyes widened in disbelief. No wonder the beasts here said humans were cunning. Boohoo… Humans were so bad.
“You haven’t satisfied me yet? You can’t answer the questions I ask,” Leng Ruoxue said with slight disappointment.
“Woo… Then what do you want? As long as you don’t eat me, you can do whatever you want.” The golden snake lowered its head in grievance.
“It’s very simple. Be our guide and we’ll let you go after we leave the Dark Night Seas. How about that?” Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
Even though Leng Ruoxue was asking for the golden snake’s opinion, the little snake knew very well that if it didn’t agree, it would definitely become a dead snake in the next moment. Boohoo… The situation was very disadvantageous to it!
“I promise.” Those who knew what they were doing were wise, and the golden snake was certainly no exception.
“That’s a good snake. I only want herbs and ores here. I’m not interested in anything else. Take us to find more herbs and ores. When we leave this place, we won’t treat you badly.” Leng Ruoxue said, using the carrot and stick approach. She still needed this guide very much after all. Moreover, with the level-nine Transcendent Divine Beast in the Dark Night Seas, she believed that the Transcendent Divine Beasts below level nine wouldn’t dare to disturb them.
“Okay,” nodded the golden snake.
“Let’s head out!” Leng Ruoxue put all the herbs and ores in the cave into the bracelet and said.
Everyone nodded and left the cave the way they had come.
After leaving the cave, they followed the guidance of the golden snake and found a spacious and flat place to be their temporary camp. According to the snake, this place had a good view and could be the first to discover danger.
Everyone set up their tents and started to make a fire to cook. Naturally, they ate snake meat.
The golden snake lying nearby smelled the fragrance of the snake meat and felt extremely depressed. Boohoo… Those were its subordinates! Now they had become food for these humans. It regretted finding these perverted humans!
After the snake meat was roasted, everyone ate heartily. At the same time, Leng Ruoxue and the others let the beasts out to enjoy the delicious snake meat. They also asked the golden snake, but the snake told them that it was vegetarian!
However, seeing the obvious disbelief in their eyes, the golden snake lowered its head and looked away from them.
“This snake says it’s a vegetarian, miss. Is that possible?” she asked curiously as she ate and stared at the little golden snake.
“How is that possible? In the beginning, it even said that we were delicious humans!” Leng Ruoxue said with a faint smile. Hehe! She didn’t expect the snake in front of her to have a conscience and was unwilling to eat its own kind. This was quite rare for beasts.
‘Yes, but what if it doesn’t eat? If it starved to death, we wouldn’t have a guide,’ said Peachy worriedly.
“Send this to it. I don’t mistreat employees.” Leng Ruoxue took out a rabbit from her bracelet and handed it to Lü Tao.
“Yes.” Lü Tao took the rabbit and roasted it over the fire for a while. Then, she walked to the golden snake and placed the rabbit meat in front of it before returning to Leng Ruoxue and the others’ seats.
The golden snake looked up at Leng Ruoxue and the others, then at the roasted rabbit in front of it. It took a deep breath and finally couldn’t resist the temptation of food and ate the rabbit.
