Chapter 179 There Really Something in Python Mountain
Chapter 179 There Really Something in Python Mountain
So this so-called fat-loss meal from Fatty Wolf is just adding another meal to his already excessive eating and drinking...
Don't worry, it will be able to transform into a human after the next main quest is completed, and it can also freely switch between beast and human forms, but this quest requires its participation.
Then the system rattled off a whole bunch of things, leaving Wen Luozhi's head buzzing.
She directly opened the taskbar to view the newly updated main quest.
"Subdue the guardian king of Python Mountain and make him serve the host."
Several black lines quickly appeared on Wen Luozhi's forehead. She had heard the villagers talk about Mangshan before.
But what is this Mountain Guardian King? Is it a snake? Does this lousy system really think highly of her or this fat wolf?
And isn't this supposed to be a farming system? How come there's a task that has absolutely nothing to do with farming?!
"What...what does this have to do with farming or doing business? Can I really ask a snake to carry manure for me and collect money for me?"
Wen Luozhi stood with her hands on her hips, fuming, her lips twitching.
The system chuckled, feeling a little guilty. It had snatched this most difficult task from the Beast Taming System because it offered more points!
Since this girl now has a spirit pet, we should at least take it out for a walk and see what it's made of, right?
That fat wolf is no ordinary wolf! A small snake is nothing to worry about!
"You also have a spirit pet! What does that have to do with farming? Stop dawdling, this task has a two-month time limit! There's no penalty for not completing it."
After saying that, it closed the interface, afraid that the troublesome host would ask any more questions.
"Oh~ since there's no punishment, then I won't..."
"Awooo! Awooo! No!"
"I disagree! You have to do it! Take me with you!"
Wolf Overlord could tell what she was thinking just by seeing her eyes darting around. She couldn't afford not to complete this mission!
Then it will be stuck like this for the rest of its life! At home, it will remain the same size, even though it is actually much, much bigger.
If this continues, it's really going to suffocate! How can a dignified snow wolf like it live like a mongrel?
It circled around Wenluozhi anxiously, almost jumping up and down, just short of biting her.
Helpless, Wen Luozhi squatted down and tugged at its wolf face. "Then you need to lose weight now! Otherwise, how will you help me?"
She pinched Wolf Overlord's soft, primitive pouch, startling it into howling.
"Female hooligan! Sex slut!"
Wen Luozhi chuckled, revealing two small dimples. "You're so stingy! I was just touching your little belly!"
After saying that, she ran off to the pigsty, where her father was watching the sow! She could go and ask him what was going on with that damned Python Mountain.
"Daddy, the pigs you raise are so good!"
"The piglets will definitely be chubby and plump when they're born."
She looked at her father with bright, sparkling eyes. Wen Muchuan looked up and met his little daughter's adoring gaze, his smile stretching almost to his ears.
However, his youngest daughter's next question made him unable to laugh.
"Dad, have you ever heard of Python Mountain?"
Wen Muchuan even paused in his hand holding the pig feed bucket. He immediately put on a stern face and said in a deep voice, "What python mountain? I'd rather have tiger mountain, rabbit mountain, and monkey mountain!"
Wen Luozhi pursed her lips and had no choice but to give up; it seemed she wouldn't get anything out of him.
She grinned and shook Wen Muchuan's arm. "I just overheard an auntie talking about it when I passed by the big willow tree. Maybe I misheard."
Hearing her ingratiating tone, Wen Muchuan realized that his appearance might have frightened his daughter. He patted her head, his expression softening. "There is such a mountain, but it's been sealed off for a long time. Don't go asking around, you silly girl."
Wen Luozhi nodded vigorously, then, using the excuse of going to see the fruit trees on Chicken Head Mountain, ran off with Wolf Batian.
As Wen Muchuan watched his youngest daughter run away, his thoughts drifted away.
Once you cross your own Chicken Head Mountain, you'll reach Python Mountain. This mountain existed even when my great-grandfather was still alive.
Once, when there was a famine in the village, everyone went to Mangshan together. However, they couldn't find any food and encountered a large snake on their way down the mountain.
It is said that the snake was as thick as an adult man's thigh!
Everyone was terrified, but thankfully the snake didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
Its lantern-sized eyes blinked at them, then with a flick of its tail, it tossed them a multitude of wild animals, large and small.
The villagers were moved to tears, kowtowed in gratitude, and then went down the mountain together.
The giant snake generously offered up its prey several times in a row, but the villagers were never satisfied with just that little bit of food to fill their stomachs.
Because the giant snake was blocking their way, they were unable to venture any further into the mountains.
The group decided to just kill the giant snake, then they could enter the mountain whenever they wanted!
They discovered that the giant snake preferred to come out at night, so they spent several days searching for the location where it frequently appeared, scattering realgar powder and setting up traps.
That night, flames soared into the sky, and everyone in the village heard a mournful roar coming from the other side of the mountain.
The next morning, everyone went into the mountains, but they didn't see the snake's body. They assumed it had been burned to ashes.
That day they went deep into the mountains and had a great harvest, and they even lit a bonfire to celebrate that night.
In the dead of night, screams echoed through the village. By the moonlight, some people saw a large snake slithering through the village.
The villagers who went up the mountain to set fires were bitten beyond recognition and died in the mouths of snakes, and the village reeked of blood.
Only then did the survivors realize that the giant snake had not died at all, and that it was the snake that had returned that night to seek revenge.
Human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant; how can such a snake be as terrifying as those people!
He heard about this from his grandfather, and even after all these years, thinking about it suddenly still makes him feel a cold sweat running down his back.
That's why he didn't want to tell his little girl; it was too bloody and scary, and he didn't want to frighten her.
And what if this girl, fearless and reckless, actually runs off to Python Mountain to see that giant snake if we don't keep an eye on her?! She's the kind of person who can't stay still!
If his only daughter is swallowed by a snake, he won't even have a place to cry!
Wen Luozhi kicked at the pebbles out of boredom, thinking that her father's unusual reaction told her that Mangshan was definitely not that simple.
She stood on a large rock in the orchard, tiptoeing and craning her neck, but she still couldn't see what was on the other side.
Even at midday, a thick layer of fog covered the sky, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Wolf Batian jumped onto her shoulder, almost making her fall headfirst to the ground.
"Fat wolf! You're going to crush me to death!"
She was being pressed down so hard she was grimacing, but Wolf Overlord seemed not to hear her at all, his ears perked up high.
Its pair of purple eyes stared intently at the opposite side, its vertical pupils gradually widening.
"Awooooo, there really seems to be something inside!"
It jumped off Wen Luozhi's shoulder and barked at her.
