Chapter 21 Unfortunate
Three kilometers outside the town, two people rode two and walked slowly around the town.
Rand had a tense face and his shoulders shook slightly from time to time.
"If you want to laugh, laugh, Alex chose it. The child's eyes--forget it, I won't talk about him anymore!" Rock said helplessly and weakly.
Thank you for your blessing, he became the focus on the first day of patrol, and it was difficult to keep a low profile.
What comforted him was that Ah Chou was as gentle and obedient as the maroon horse. He was tamed for an hour yesterday and was able to cooperate with him today.
"Why don't you change a normal war horse?" Rand smiled for a while, and finally enough laughed.
“No need.”
"You are very attracted to others, don't you care?"
"I don't notice this without Ah Chou---"
A Chou is a demonized horse at least, and he is reluctant to change it to an ordinary war horse. If you attract your eyes, just attract your eyes.
The two of them were talking nonsense and patrol. The ordinary patrol was six days a round, three days a day, and then three days a night, which was a patrol mission cycle.
Rock yawned.
"You haven't had enough sleep yet?"
"Recognize the bed, it will be a few days!"
Rock responded casually, his face as usual, but he was full of doubts.
Last night, he obviously slept very early and heavy. According to common sense, he should be energetic when he woke up this morning and all his fatigue was wiped out.
However, his head was very drowsy when he woke up in the morning, and there was a slight sting in his brain, which made him very uncomfortable. If it weren't for the biological clock, he might have been late.
"Will anyone suck the yang energy by any ghost girl?" Rock thought to himself.
To the west of the town, a long river seven or eight meters wide flows by, becoming a natural barrier to the west of the town. On both sides of the river, four large iron pillars stand with iron chains tied, and I don’t know what to do.
When he was patrolling and passing by the long river, he found that the river was more lively than in the town. There were two or three people on both sides of the river at a distance. It looked like they were fishing, and there were more than a dozen small boats floating on the river.
On one of the boats, he saw a disgusting person.
"What are they doing?" he pointed to the boat on the river.
These people were holding fishing rods in their hands, and there were blood-dropping pieces of meat hanging on the fishing rods. The pieces of meat were not placed in the water, suspended more than one meter on the water surface, allowing blood to drip to the water surface, splashing blood ripples.
The scene looks a bit weird.
"The mutated demon beasts in the seduction river are all formal knights who take turns to rest. Our family also has them. The one over there is---" Rand answered his words.
While pointing at one of them, he introduced the identity of the knights to him.
In addition to the Bambora family, other noble territories also sent a large number of people to station in the town, including the three viscounts of Labella, Lind and Rem, and the other three baron territories - Maika, Dosi and Durabon.
Therefore, so many formal knights can be gathered here, unlike other places where knights rarely see them at once.
Any wild beast is contaminated with "demonization" and its value is greatly improved. More importantly, the flesh of the demonized beast is beneficial to the official knight.
Can demonized beasts still catch this way?
"You will know in the future when the river connects to the mysterious place of the poison." Rand did not explain too much. It was difficult to understand what he described in words without seeing it with his own eyes.
"Where are these people on the shore?"
"You can tell if you get closer and look."
Rock jumped off his horse and squeezed into a crowded place. He happened to see two people collecting hanging lines from the river, with several prey hanging on one line.
"That thing won't---" After a while, he returned with a strange expression.
"Yes, the water-striped white worms are used for eating. They are very nutritious. One silver coin is worth ten," Rand guessed what he wanted to say.
"eat?"
Thinking of the scene just now, a thin line brought up four or five linear creatures, similar to white earthworms, twisting more than twenty centimeters apart, constantly twisting. He thought about the "rice porridge" yesterday morning, and his throat was a little itchy just thinking about it.
These foods make your scalp tingling!
"Let's go, don't delay patrol."
The Color Poison Town has produced some strange creatures, so you don’t need to ask, it must be related to the secret place. He was very curious about the Color Poison Secret Place, but now he dare not think about it anymore.
Rand expressed his understanding that the newcomers who had just arrived in Caidian Town are like this, especially the noble young men. After staying for a while, they didn't want to leave.
The two rode their horses and continued patrolling the other side.
As soon as I walked a few steps, the river surface was rumbling.
'puff---'
The river broke open like a mirror, and the black shadow jumped up with waves, bit the beef cattle dripping with water, bit it tightly, and pulled it down frantically, venom corrodes the beef.
At this time, the pointed hook in the beef had pierced through the black snake and fell into the flesh and blood, making it unable to break free, but it kept twisting and struggling, making a painful roar.
Hearing the movement, the people on the shore looked over and couldn't help but look envious.
"It's the Todd Knight of the Bambora family, so lucky!"
"Looking at the corrosive ability of the black snake's venom, it must have been demonized."
Others sighed that the value of a demonized snake is equivalent to that of two months they are busy with, and it will even exceed it.
"It's so unlucky!" The two patrolling men stopped. Seeing this scene, Rock's mood became worse.
"Why is it so easy to get caught? Are these demonized beasts not brainless?"
"According to usual experience, one appears on average for two or three days. In addition, the mutated demon beast is not very smart and likes to attack on the initiative." Rand turned his horse's head and signaled him to follow.
Knight Todd is alone, and they come forward to help, and perhaps they can get some rewards.
At this time, the water surface changes again.
Another snake head came out of the water, and the three-fingered snake body was pulled straight, like an arrow pointing directly at Todd.
"It's indeed a two-headed snake, and I want to attack it!"
Todd was ready, and he stepped on the fishing rod under his feet, and a small shield blocked the front. With a "clang", the snake's head hit the small square shield, and the other hand quickly stretched out, grabbed the snake's head and twisted it hard.
Another snake head was also twisted by him, and his movements were neat.
The whole snake twisted unconsciously and had no rebirth.
Todd couldn't help but get such a harvest early in the morning. He pulled the snake's body upwards and placed it little by little in the cabin. The snake was more than three meters meters away, a rare double-headed and double-tailed snake.
Cheers came from the shore, and Todd turned around and raised his hand toward the shore.
Rock curled his lips, feeling very upset, and frowned and stared at the river.
In his surprised gaze, the little half of his tail, which was outside the cabin, moved, shaking, twisting, and sweeping towards Todd.
He could see clearly that it was not the tail, it was clearly two small snake heads, spitting out snake letters and biting Todd.
"No, it's a two-headed dream snake." Rand's face changed drastically, and he quickly shouted to the riverside, "Be careful behind, Knight Todd!"
The two-headed dream snake is also a two-headed snake. The two snake heads are on one head and one tail, one big and one small. When one snake head moves, the other snake head sleeps and controls the body alternately. This kind of snake is rare.
At this time, Todd also noticed the faces of the people on the shore, and quickly turned around to check, and the two snake heads were less than one palm away from him.
He jumped up violently. As soon as he moved his fighting spirit to his legs, his little leg was bitten by a snake's head, and his feet were painful. As soon as he relaxed, his other foot was big and his legs were bitten.
One foot has a snake's head.
He is worthy of being a formal knight, and he can hold on even if he is infected with snake venom. He cut off the snake's head with his backhand, and then he sat down in the cabin.
"Hurry, save Knight Todd!" Rand was panicked.
There were no other knights from the Bangborah family present. At Rand's urging, the two found a small boat and rushed towards Todd.
After a while, he rowed Todd's boat back.
Rock looked at the four snakes and found the clues. It was clearly two-headed dream snakes, one female and one male. They were busy working in the river, but were disturbed by Todd. I don’t know which snake head couldn’t help but tempt it, and rushed out of the river.
Until death, I didn't let go in the middle, tsk---
No wonder Todd mistakenly thought it was a double-headed and double-tailed snake. This guy was also unlucky. The two-headed dream snake is rare, and the two-headed dream snake in a special state is even rarer. It is rare in a century. How unlucky is it to hit it.
Todd was poisoned, and Rand took him the interpreter potion and was already in a semi-confused state.
"Look at my demonized snake!"
After reaching a meter off the shore, maybe he recovered a little. Todd shook Rand's hand away and was about to jump ashore. He was tripped up somewhere and suddenly fell down.
After hearing what he said just now, thinking he was fine, Rand turned around and moved the double-headed Dream Snake, and there was no time to help him.
Todd hit one side, the boat became unstable, and a huge wave suddenly appeared on the river surface, one after another, and slapped the boat board.
Rock fell anxiously, but he didn't take action. He paused. The boat had already tilted to one side. Seeing that the situation was not good, he took the opportunity to jump onto the shore without saying a word.
The boat capsized amid the screams of everyone.
Two snakes fell into the river.
Looking at the two-headed dream snake that was about to be swallowed by the waves, Rock's eyes lit up.
