Chapter 198: Treasure at the Bottom of the Ditch (1)
Zhou Ni was thinking about it and found that the plot mission had been triggered at this time. He and Tao Li couldn't help but show an incredible expression on his face. He just stared at Selma blankly and read the dialogue required for the plot.
"This...is this the legendary mermaid?" Tao Lidao.
"Look, she seems to be able to communicate with the Sea Python King. Could she be the owner of the Sea Python King?" Zhou Ni said.
Hearing them speak, Selma exclaimed lightly and said to herself: "Huh? Can you talk? And there are no fishtails. It seems that you are indeed humans. It's great. This is the first time I have seen humans."
After saying that, Selma showed a very excited look and said to the sea python king: "Little Python, you really brought me two amazing guests this time."
Seeing that Selma seemed to like the two guests it brought, in order to please Selma, the Sea Python King quickly shook its body, threw Zhou Ni and Tao Li directly off it, and landed in front of Selna.
However, Zhou Ni and Tao Li, who were still not sure about the current situation, were thrown off by the Sea Python King, and saw that the Sea Python King suddenly shaking so violently, they thought that the Sea Python King was about to go wild again. They quickly raised their respective weapons and prepared to go forward to fight him.
But at this moment, their behavior was stopped by Selma.
"Two guests, please don't attack my little python. Although its behavior just now was a little rough, it just wanted to send you to me and had no malice towards you." Selma stretched out his hands and blocked between them and the Sea Python King.
Seeing Selma say this, Zhou Ni and Tao Li put down their weapons and put their eyes on Selma again, asking all the questions in their hearts.
Selma seemed to have a good impression of Zhou Ni and Tao Li, so he could say everything he knew about their problems.
It turned out that as Zhou Ni had guessed before, the Selma was indeed the owner of the trench, and the Selma trench was the residence given to her by her father.
Of course, it is more appropriate to say that this is her residence than to say that this is a place for her house arrest.
According to Selma herself, because she had caused a huge disaster when she was young, her father was in a rage and put her in house arrest in this trench.
Although she had tried to secretly leave the trench many times, there was a seal set by his father at the exit of the trench, so no matter how she did, she could not break through the seal and exit from the trench.
It is precisely because of this that she has never seen humans since she was born. She only knows that there is a species of human in this world from related books, so she is so excited to see Zhou Ni and Tao Li.
As for the sea python king, it was her father who was afraid that she would be bored in the trench alone, so he gave her a pet. According to her, she had been living at the bottom of the trench with the sea python king for almost twenty years.
While answering the two questions, Selma was always asking Zhou Ni and Tao Li about the information about the human world, especially the adventurers Guild formed by humans, and was quite interested.
Zhou Ni was puzzled by this and asked him the reason.
As a result, Selma told Zhou Ni that she had seen a story about the Human Adventurers Guild in a book.
In that story, some human adventurers guilds have the ability to fight against his father, so she always believed that those adventurers guilds could help her break the seal at the entrance of this trench and give her freedom.
After that, Selma asked Zhou Ni and Tao Li in particular: "Since you two have passed the test of the little python and come here smoothly, they should be from some adventurers guild, right?"
"Of course, and we are both members of the same Adventurer Guild." Tao Li nodded without hesitation and replied.
Hearing Tao Li's answer, Selma showed a hint of joy at first, but soon, she seemed to remember something again, and the joy on her face disappeared, and then she fell into silence.
Seeing this, Zhou Ni naturally knew what she was thinking, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you want us to help you break the seal at the entrance of the trench?"
"I have thought so, but... with the strength of you two, I'm afraid I can't break my father's seal, so let's forget it. Anyway, I'm used to staying in this trench." Selma said in great disappointment.
At this point, Selma fell into silence and never talked to Zhou Ni and Tao Li again. The plot mission has come to an end so far.
From the conversation with Selma just now, it is not difficult for Zhou Ni to judge that this hidden task is indeed the same as what Wudi said. Five people from the same guild must be gathered to be successfully triggered.
But this time, Zhou Ni came to the treasure that could be stored at the bottom of the trench. He never thought that he could do the hidden task with Tao Li, so Zhou Ni did not care about this matter at all.
However, when Zhou Ni thought of the treasure, he couldn't help but look disappointed.
According to Zhou Ni's original idea, since the entrance of this trench is protected by monsters as powerful as the Sea Python King, in addition to being related to the hidden mission, there should be some treasures hidden inside it.
But since he learned that the bottom of the trench was the residence of Selma, Zhou Ni's previous thought was immediately eliminated, because no matter from any perspective, the Selma did not look like a person holding a treasure. Even if there was one, it would be difficult to obtain the treasure from her residence before the residence was completed.
Of course, since I have been here from afar, Zhou Ni cannot do nothing and just return empty-handed.
With the idea that it would be okay to give it a try, Zhou Ni suddenly turned to Tao Li and said, "Da Li, let's start our treasure hunting operation now."
Before setting out for treasure hunt with Tao Li, Zhou Ni suddenly remembered something and quickly checked his current condition carefully, for fear that he would drown in the seabed if he accidentally did not.
