The Candle Snake is an R-level or above monster.
The R-class is already close to mountains and seas.
Surrounding everyone at this moment are more than thirty candle snakes.
This is equivalent to thirty late-stage high-level warriors, not to mention that there may be Q-level Candle Snakes among them who are already comparable to those who have just entered the realm of mountains and seas.
Xiang Qi threw away his net bag in shock, but no one laughed at him.
In fact, others are not much better.
For example, Gu Yungao was fighting with his two legs and could only barely stand.
Because everyone knows that if one thing is not handled well, today will be a dead end.
But...what else can be done?
In particular, the candle snake is a standard cold-blooded animal. Although it is intelligent, it is impossible to reason with people.
Despair spread in everyone's hearts.
After the people from the Rock Team reacted, they immediately merged with the people from the Dark Star Team, forming a defensive formation and watching the Candle Snakes around them vigilantly.
"Captain Xiang, Yuan You, do you have any way to escape?"
There is no need to think about being a strong enemy, so He Weichen asked directly.
Xiang Qi is a high-level hunter, and Yuan You is a high-level scholar. If there is any way to get out of trouble, I can only count on the two of them.
"If I try my best, I may have a glimmer of hope of survival, but it's also very slim... Xiaowang Village used to be a mine, and the terrain underground is far more complicated than the surface. This is their home field."
Xiang Qi has regained his composure at this time, but his face is still ugly.
Yuan You was silent for a while, then sighed, "I have just observed that even if Captain Xiang discarded the body of the candle snake, the hostility in their eyes did not weaken..."
"Besides, I can't tell who is the leader, otherwise if I capture the thief first, I might still have a chance of struggling."
"Then it seems we can only fight desperately."
He Weichen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
When everyone heard this, their faces became even more desperate.
It’s said to be desperate, but when the gap in strength is large enough, there is actually no difference between desperate and desperate.
"Hiss!"
At this time, all the candle snakes raised their heads slightly, the snakes hesitated, and their bodies began to circle forward.
This is clearly a prelude to an attack.
Everyone became nervous.
"Shen Qian, what can you do?"
Yuan You didn't know why, but finally turned his attention to the young man whose expression had not changed much from beginning to end.
She could see what Shen Qian was thinking about. Perhaps it was the various mysteries of the young man along the way that gave her an inexplicable sense of expectation.
"What can he do!"
I don’t know if he was infected by despair or wanted to vent something, but before Shen Qian could speak, Gu Yungao roared angrily.
"I would say this time it was because of him being such a bad guy. We have been to Xiaowang Village so many times before, so why did something happen this time!"
Shen Qian ignored the crazy Gu Yungao, just looked up at the sky and uttered one word.
"Wait."
"Wait?"
Yuan You was startled.
"Don't worry, even if it's too late, at least... I can protect you from death."
Shen Qian smiled.
"Absurd!" Gu Yungao burst into laughter, as if he was laughing to the point of tears, "You are just a fucking mediocre warrior... woo woo!"
Snap!
Gu Yungao's laughter stopped suddenly, and he covered his cheek blankly, feeling the burning sensation coming from it.
Before he could react, the young man who appeared in front of him as if in a flash had already stretched out a hand and grabbed his throat.
Gu Yungao's body rose uncontrollably from the ground, and all his laughter turned into strange whimpering.
Even though they were in danger at this time, everyone was still stunned for a moment.
Gu Yungao is a strong person in the third level of martial arts!
Even if it was a sneak attack, how could he be unable to react in front of an incompetent martial artist?
What's even more outrageous is that at this time, Gu Yungao had clearly exhausted all his strength to struggle, but he couldn't break free at all.
His complexion turned from bluish-red to bluish-purple, and then to bloodless paleness.
There was resentment, disbelief, and anger in his eyes... and finally they all turned into fear.
Because Shen Qian's hand was still tightening inch by inch, the young man's face was expressionless, as if he really wanted to kill him.
"Ho ho..."
Gu Yungao swayed his body crazily and made a strange guttural sound that was unclear whether it was cursing or begging for mercy.
Shen Qian finally let go, letting Gu Yungao's body limp to the ground like mud.
"Killing you is like killing an ant, but I have to write dozens of pages of materials to report...forget it, it's not worth it."
As if talking to himself, Shen Qian shook his head and no longer looked at Gu Yungao on the ground.
Gu Yungao opened his mouth, but in the end he did not dare to say anything more. He could only stare at Shen Qian's back bitterly.
"Shen Qian, what do you mean by 'wait' just now?"
When Yuan You came back to his senses, he didn't bother to ask why Shen Qian's strength was so terrifying, but the hope in his eyes grew stronger. In desperation, he walked over and hugged Shen Qian's arm.
…Hiss, you’re not wearing underwear.
Shen Qian glanced down calmly and coughed: "I've already asked for help, just wait."
Xiang Qi and others were greatly disappointed when they heard that Shen Qian's solution was to ask for help.
"I sent out the rescue message as soon as possible, but there was no way it would be in time, unless someone strong happened to pass by..." Xiang Qi shook his head.
"Hiss!"
The surrounding candle snakes are getting closer and closer, they seem to enjoy the feeling of playing with their prey, and the snakes are hesitating faster and faster.
Finally, a candle snake that had entangled itself on the stone statue could no longer hold back, bared its fangs and pounced on Yang Ni.
He Weichen gritted his teeth and was about to take action when the candle snake, which had half of its body thrown out, suddenly paused again.
In the pale-faced Yang Ni's stunned eyes, all the candle snakes around him suddenly retreated a little, and then they raised their heads and looked at the sky, making a rapid "hissing" sound, as if they were wary of something. .
At this time, everyone realized something and looked up.
The wind was blowing violently, and a dark-skinned man carrying a black bag on his back was falling rapidly from a high altitude.
Although he looked ordinary, everyone's eyes showed surprise.
Trapping the sky... mountains and seas!
This is a genuine mountain and sea powerhouse.
Xiang Qi was also a little stunned. He was just talking casually. Is there really a strong person passing by?
Boom!
The dark-skinned man landed on the ground, stirring up smoke and dust all over the ground. The candle snakes around him felt threatened and retreated a little further.
"This..."
Xiang Qi tidied up his appearance and was about to go up to say hello, but his eyes quickly widened again.
Because after the dark man landed, he walked directly in front of Shen Qian and then lowered his head slightly.
"Mr. Shen!"
...Actually, to be honest, Shen Qian doesn't really like the feeling of audible needle drops.
But it seems that many times, he can't avoid it.
"You're here."
Shen Qian nodded and patted Dao Jiu on the shoulder.
As a bodyguard who protects her 24X7, Shen Qian goes out to the restricted area to practice, so it is naturally impossible for him to leave Dao Jiu behind.
You have to have a certain level of experience, especially when you haven't grown up yet. Don't pretend to be unnecessary.
Therefore, Dao Jiu has been following Shen Qian not far or near, ensuring that he can respond to emergencies at any time...such as the current one.
Although there is a system, these candle snakes cannot really endanger Shen Qian's life, but he is not alone at the moment. Ouyang Fei and Gu Zifang are both friends, so Shen Qian will have more to think about.
Yuan You was still holding Shen Qian's arm. Her red lips were slightly opened, her eyes were full of shock, and she looked a little silly for no reason.
But no one paid attention to her posture, everyone was in the same mood.
Shen Qian... actually has a Shanhai bodyguard!
No, judging from the appearance of the two of them, Dao Jiu clearly showed great respect to Shen Qian and already had some vague intentions of being his subordinate.
"Could it be said that if you take the martial arts exam, you will be followed by mountains and seas?"
Ouyang Fei murmured, "This is so fucking cool!"
"It must be more than that." After Gu Zifang relaxed, she rolled her eyes and said, "Would Shanhai care about geniuses? Who of them didn't?"
"Shen Qian...classmate, this time it all depends on you."
After Xiang Qi was embarrassed, he adjusted his expression in time and said, "I swear to Qi on my honor that I will repay you adequately."
Shen Qian nodded and shook his head, "It's not that simple."
"What do you mean?"
He Weichen heard something in Shen Qian's words and couldn't help but ask.
"You probably didn't look carefully, but three of these candle snakes are Q-level."
"What?"
Everyone's expressions changed when they heard this.
"Of course, Daojiu is not afraid of them, but only if there are not a lot of burdens."
Everyone was silent. Although it felt uncomfortable to be called a burden, in this case, they really seemed useless...
"Maybe we can win miserably, but 70% of the people here will die. I'm afraid that's not the result you want."
Shen Qian shrugged.
"What do you mean?"
Yuan You calmed down, remembering his demented appearance just now, he couldn't help but secretly cursed himself for being hopeless, but the hand that hugged Shen Qian tightened a little tighter.
"Have to try other methods."
Shen Qian did not continue to show off. He broke free from Yuan You's "shackles" and took a few steps forward.
Dao Jiu followed suit, and the candle snakes around him became obviously nervous, and their "hissing" sounds continued.
Just when everyone was wondering what Shen Qian could do, a scene that almost shocked everyone's jaws occurred again.
Shen Qian was seen leaning forward, staring at a candle snake that was mostly buried in the soil, and suddenly began to speak.
"Hiss, hiss..."
No one could understand what Shen Qian was saying, because what came out of his mouth was a "hissing" sound that sounded like a candle snake.
Snake language!
Shen Qian can actually speak snake language!
And judging from the level of fluency, I’m afraid it’s level eight or higher...
Even if you have accepted Shen Qian's "versatile talents", this scene is still very impactful.
"Hiss!"
The candle snake that Shen Qian called to communicate seemed a little surprised, but as the exchange between one person and one snake continued, its body also broke free from the soil and almost stood upright.
At this time, everyone discovered that the body length of this candle snake was nearly 20 meters, which was more than twice the length of the dead candle snake!
"It's the head snake!"
Yuan You woke up and exclaimed in a low voice.
Knowing how to speak snake language, it’s no big deal to recognize the first snake. This time, everyone was very calm and just nervously waiting for the result.
They could probably guess that Shen Qian was having sex with Snake.
About five minutes later, Shen Qian straightened up and looked back at everyone.
"How is it?" Xiang Qi couldn't help but ask.
"The result is okay, they agreed to retreat..." Shen Qian nodded.
"Really?"
"Great!"
Everyone couldn't help but clenched their fists and showed an encouraging attitude.
The feeling of happiness that comes from being on the verge of death begins to spread in my heart.
"But..." Shen Qian was helpless. I haven't even finished speaking yet, so you guys have to give me a hammer.
"What's wrong?" When they heard that there was more to come, everyone was a little nervous.
"They have two requirements." Shen Qian glanced at the waiting snake with its head raised, "The first condition is that they must take away all the corpses of monsters here, as well as the snake fruits on your body..."
Shen Qian glanced at Xiang Qi.
The day the Rock Team tracked the Candle Snake was obviously not fruitless. The other three people were all carrying bulging military bags.
"Okay, who asked me to hunt down its kin."
Xiang Qi quickly nodded decisively and smiled rather self-deprecatingly.
But he is still relatively relaxed inside.
Compared with saving a life, a few million is nothing.
"We have no objection, what is the second request?" He Weichen asked after nodding.
Shen Qian let out a breath and glanced expressionlessly at Gu Yungao, who was still sitting on the ground.
Gu Yungao seemed to have realized something. As soon as the fearful expression appeared on his face, he heard Shen Qian's indifferent voice, "Killing people... ah, they are going to take away the murderer of the snake."
After everyone was startled, they all looked at the stunned Gu Yungao, their eyes becoming complicated.
"No!" The pale-faced Gu Yungao shook his head and murmured as he backed away, "This is definitely not true, it's... it's Shen Qian, yes, it's him, he's taking the opportunity to take revenge on me! ”
Even Yang Ni, who was relatively close to Gu Yungao, just sighed and couldn't say anything.
She was very reluctant to admit it, but Gu Yungao seemed to have brought it upon himself. If he had really listened to Shen Qian at that time, it would have been better if he had not acted in a hurry...
Yuan You turned her head and couldn't bear to look anymore. She just suddenly remembered that no wonder Shen Qian said "I can't die" at that time. It turned out that Shen Qian wanted to get information from the mouth of the candle snake.
"Captain, don't, don't let the candle snake take me away...save me, please save me!"
Gu Yungao climbed to He Weichen's side, hugged his legs, and begged with snot and tears streaming down his face.
"Hiss!"
At this time, the snake made a rapid hissing sound again.
"It's...a bit of a rush."
Shen Qian took the initiative to translate.
Everyone was silent, but they all looked at He Weichen.
He Weichen closed his eyes, and then suddenly took action, knocking Gu Yungao unconscious with one palm.
"This will make it easier..." He Weichen looked at the fainting Gu Yungao and whispered.
"Don't worry, I will be the villain this time. It's just a fifty-page report. I wrote it!"
Xiang Qi suddenly walked over, picked up Gu Yungao and threw him into the group of snakes.
A candle snake curled its tail and quickly pulled Gu Yungao into the mud and disappeared.
The other candle snakes also retreated with their trophies. As the sand and rocks rolled and the grass and trees flew, under the leadership of the head snake, all the candle snakes quickly disappeared.
The surroundings became quiet, as if nothing happened.
"What happened today is really fucking bizarre. No, I can't stand any longer. I need to take a break."
Xiang Qi broke the dullness and sat down on the ground. He saw that He Weichen and others were still stuck in a certain emotion, and couldn't help but laugh.
"As for you, how many people die every day in the restricted area? Since you have chosen to join the slashing team, you should have a similar awareness..."
"Normally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, sacrificing yourself to save everyone is the normal operation, but this is just too cowardly."
"If he can really take the initiative to stand up."
After hearing this, Shen Qian suddenly said, "Maybe, I will choose to save him..."
Everyone was startled and a little confused for a moment.
Yuan You took a deep look at Shen Qian, who was standing with his back to everyone, and for some reason, she felt that Shen Qian might really be able to do it.
It’s just that the other party chose the simplest way to deal with it.
Shen Qian withdrew his gaze from the distance. When everyone wanted to sit down and rest for a while, he said, "Don't rest. Even without the candle snake, it is still unsafe here."
"What?" He Weichen was stunned.
"Have you forgotten, the escaped candle snake, and those dead monsters..."
Everyone in the Dark Star Team woke up in horror, but only the Rock Team was still a little confused.
Shen Qian touched the scroll that was starting to get hot in his arms and let out a breath.
"You'd better all leave. If I'm not wrong, Xiaowang Village... should no longer be the place you remember."
