Chapter 267 I'm not here to play around with you

Wen Luozhi followed behind it, amused. Why would she run away?

With the system around, she wasn't afraid of failing to subdue the mountain guardian king; she would fight it to subdue it.

Disappointingly, when we arrived at the activity area, there was still no sign of the large snakes; instead, there were only small snakes in groups, just like before.

Tired of dealing with the snakes, Wen Luozhi threw a smoke bomb. The smoke bomb emitted the smell of realgar powder, and the snakes scattered.

There was nothing else here, so the man and the wolf set off.

This time, the snakes actually followed behind them. When Wen Luozhi stopped, they stopped too, raising their heads and hissing as they spat out apricots.

From the moment she entered the mountain, the system kept reminding her to only drive away the monsters without harming them, otherwise the Python King would be even more difficult to deal with if it got angry.

Wen Luozhi kept this in mind, only sprinkling a few handfuls of realgar powder on them when they were too far away from her.

The little squirrel peeked out from inside the pocket, blinking its dark eyes at the snakes that were relentlessly following behind.

On the map, the rest area is located on the edge of a cliff.

This journey was much more difficult than the previous two places; the snakes behind them stopped when they were not far away.

Wen Luozhi heard no more snake movements. She turned around and saw the snakes lying on the ground, their heads, which had been held high, now drooping low.

She and Wolf Overlord exchanged a glance, and the little squirrel darted out of her pocket, jumped onto her shoulder, and squeaked wildly toward the cliff in front of her.

Wen Luozhi was puzzled, because in her opinion, the mountain guardian king had not done anything heinous.

The revenge against the village was nothing more than an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; after all, those people repaid kindness with enmity.

At this moment, the system's cold voice rang out: "[The mission rules have their reasons; secrets cannot be revealed. Please handle this with care.]"

Wen Luozhi pursed her lips. Just as she was about to lift her leg to look at the cliff edge, the previously quiet snakes suddenly became restless.

Wolf Overlord's size rapidly increased, and he roared at them several times.

Seeing the wolf-like serpents suddenly grow larger and exude a violent aura, they hesitated for a moment before peering out towards the cliff.

It seemed they discussed it for a while before finally charging towards Wolf Overlord.

Seeing that Lang Batian was handling the snake swarm with ease, Wen Luozhi reached towards the edge of the cliff. A strong wind carrying the smell of blood blew up from below.

She felt nauseous and bent over, patting her chest.

It must be down there! There was a smell of rotting flesh and the distinctive fishy odor of snakes.

Just as she recovered and was about to straighten up, the little squirrel on her shoulder jumped down and tugged at her trouser leg with its two little paws, making anxious noises.

With a hissing sound, like a snake spitting out an apricot, Wen Luozhi raised her head and was suddenly met with two dark eyes as big as luminous pearls.

"Ah!" she screamed and jumped back, only able to see what was in front of her from a distance.

A huge python! A very large and thick python! It was spitting out apricots and staring fiercely at her.

If you look closely, you can see that its eyes are a little red, and the scales standing up on its neck show that it is very angry.

Only about half of the snake's body protruded from the edge of the canopy, and even that half was enough to make one feel overwhelmed.

"Roar!"

Wolf Overlord quickly ran over, opened his mouth, and roared. The giant snake, not to be outdone, opened its mouth wide as well.

Wen Luozhi quickly covered her mouth, and what came into view was a gaping maw with several long teeth.

"Who goes there? Why do you trespass on my sacred land?"

The python's voice was incredibly majestic, and Wen Luozhi's fear had turned into shock.

It... it actually spoke?!

Wolf Overlord was indignant. Even a noble spirit pet like it couldn't speak like an ordinary person, yet this worm could?

Wen Luozhi's brain raced as she tried to think of a response. She couldn't very well just say, "I'm here to conquer you, can I?"

A sudden gust of wind carrying the stench of blood blew up from below the cliff. Wen Luozhi raised her hand to shield her eyes, and when she opened them again, she almost felt dizzy.

There's another one?!

"System! You didn't say there were two Mountain Guardians!" she said through gritted teeth.

The system replied to her with a slightly guilty voice, "[There's only one guardian king... the other one is its wife.]"

Wen Luozhi clenched her fists. The one that had come up earlier was a size smaller, but it already had two small bumps protruding from its head.

Isn't this one even more powerful than the last one? With both of them combined, there's no way she can escape!

Unless she can fly!

Her resentful gaze swept over Wolf Overlord, who was still howling in protest.

It's fine if she can't speak; she looks good just like this...

She had already adopted a defensive stance, but the mother dragon merely glanced at them indifferently and said to the mountain guardian king, "The child is in great pain, why are you bothering with these two little ones?"

As she spoke, she looked around at the other snakes, all of which were intact and appeared to be unharmed.

The mountain guardian's eyes darted around before he turned and went back down the cliff.

The mother dragon stared at Wen Luozhi curiously for a while, and seeing that the little girl seemed to have no ill intentions, she opened her mouth and said, "There are no treasures in these mountains, you should go back."

Its tail barely flicked, and Wen Luozhi retreated quite a distance.

Wolf Overlord was in a panic. What were they going to do? Didn't they need to subdue that giant python to complete their mission?

The mother dragon tilted her head. "Hmm? What are you up to, little one?"

Its huge head reached towards Wolf Overlord, but it didn't open its mouth.

Wolf Batian jumped away, and in comparison, it suddenly looked much smaller.

"My wife, come quick! The child seems to be dying!"

The mountain guardian's anxious voice came from below the cliff, and the surrounding snakes rushed to the edge of the cliff and spat out apricots.

Wen Luozhi caught a glimpse of helplessness and anxiety in the mother dragon's eyes. Just as it turned to return to the bottom of the cliff, Wen Luozhi ran over and called out to it, "Please wait!"

The mother dragon turned around and said, "Little ones, you should leave now. We're not in the mood to play with you."

"We're not playing! I can save your child!" Wen Luozhi shouted anxiously.

They can't possibly fight now! The couple has no intention of hurting them at all.

Saving their child should count, right? If not, we'll think of another way.

The mother dragon's eyes lit up. "Really?" It wagged its tail happily.

Wen Luozhi nodded and pointed to the bottom of the cliff. "But you'll have to find a way to get me down there."

She glanced at Lang Batian and continued, "Don't let me fall and die."

Otherwise, Wolf Overlord would only be able to howl for the rest of his life.

"No problem!" The mother dragon used her tail to curl up around her. Wolf Overlord, seeing them about to leave, quickly ran over and bared his teeth to block their way.

"You can't go with it! So what if this is how my life ends?"

"I'm not human anymore, and that's fine too!"

Wen Luozhi was truly touched this time. She waved to it, "I'm fine. You stay here and wait for me to come back."

"If you dare to mess around, I'll just put you in my backpack!"

The Mountain Guardian King called out to the Mother Dragon again, and the Mother Dragon quickly darted down the cliff with Wen Luozhi.
