Chapter 178
According to the ancient Chinese book "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Bei Jing", Zhulong is the god of Zhangwei Mountain, with a human face and a snake body, red all over, and a body length of thousands of miles.

In some myths and legends, Zhulong is also known as Zhuyin, Zhujiuyin, Pinglong and Huojing. Its eyes are open for day and eyes closed for night.

"Teacher, this girl named Yuanyou said...Huh?"

Shen Qian originally wanted to bring out Yuan You's "fantasy materialization" rhetoric, and asked the boss to make a judgment, but when he turned his head, he found that Dao Jiu and Yuan You didn't look at them at all.

They just stood there quietly, still in the shock of Zhulong's appearance, but they didn't seem to notice the existence of Big Brother Gao at all.

"Teacher, they..."

"I blocked me." Gao Wenyuan explained briefly.

"Oh." Shen Qian was already familiar with the big brother Gao's ability, but he didn't find it strange. He regained his composure, and then repeated what Yuan You said, "Teacher, is this true?"

"Have you ever thought, then, that maybe someone actually saw them long ago, and then made them into legends, or into stories?"

Gao Wenyuan smiled lightly after listening, and asked back.

"This……"

Shen Qian was stunned.

He hadn't really thought about it from this angle.

In fact, this is like a question of whether there are myths and legends first, or myths first.

"This is just an argument. What I really want to tell you is that you don't have to worry too much about these issues. The important thing is that they do exist, right?" Gao Wenyuan smiled gently.

"I understand."

Immediately, Shen Qian couldn't help but asked again, "Teacher, Candle Dragon... what realm does it exist?"

"It, I haven't dealt with it for a long time, but judging from the 'snake curse' just now, it may be only half a step away from surpassing the prince."

Gao Wenyuan said thoughtfully.

Half a step...beyond a prince?
These six words seem simple, but the amount of information contained in them is quite large, which makes Shen Qian a little dazed.

In other words, Zhulong is actually still in the category of princes?

Prince... No, no, or is the top prince really so outrageous?

In front of it, the mountains and seas are as powerless as infants and young children, and the gap between them is more than tens of thousands of miles.

Then teacher, who is better than you?
Shen Qian endured it, but in the end he didn't ask this question.

He was mainly afraid that it would be embarrassing to ask if the big brother Gao Gao couldn't beat Zhulong.

"Just go back to Jingcheng directly, and also, change the problem of provoking women everywhere...Of course, if you don't worry about trouble, just pretend I didn't say anything."

When Shen Qian was distracted, the boss said softly.

When Shen Qian came to his senses, the boss Gao had already disappeared in place, without a trace.

Shen Qian was a little unwilling, why did he have so many questions about the appearance of strange ghosts before he had time to ask them.

Or maybe Daxie Gao is deliberately avoiding this problem.

Immediately, Shen Qian blushed and felt a little bit upset when he thought of the "teaching" of the big brother Gao.

He glanced at Yuan You, and muttered, it's not my fault, it's her who came up with it.

"Shen Qian, let's go back quickly."

Yuan You walked over and said.

She didn't seem to notice what Shen Qian was doing just now.

"Ah."

Shen Qian nodded.

Going out of the city with the Dark Star team this time, the improvement in cultivation level is not great, but the gains are not small.

Most importantly, Shen Qian saw the figure of "Candle Dragon" with his own eyes.

He vaguely felt that this was a very important moment, but he didn't understand why it was so important.

Although the wind and snow still existed and would not subside in a short time, the inexplicable and strange confinement power in it had disappeared, and the vitality in Shen Qian's body returned to normal.

The three of them rushed towards Jingcheng along the way they came from.

When passing Xiaowang Village again, Shen Qian suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

Yuan You looked suspiciously.

Shen Qian didn't speak, but moved his right foot stepping on the snow, then Shen Qian bent down and explored in the snow, and soon, when Shen Qian's palm was taken out again, it was It directly caught a long black shadow.

"what!"

Yuan You exclaimed at first, and then realized that there was no danger. She stared at it, and the surprise in her eyes increased instead of diminishing.

In Shen Qian's hand, it was a candle snake.

However, its body has long been stiff, but it has been dead for a long time.

Shen Qian put the Candle Snake body that he had captured aside first, then he seemed to have noticed something, he called Dao Jiu to help, and the two of them searched in this ravine-ridden area.

Two, three... In just half an hour, the two dug through the snow and found more than twenty candle snake corpses.

"This this……"

Yuan You was inexplicably shocked.

Although the appearance of the Candle Snakes was similar, there were so many of them that it was enough to show that this group of dead Candle Snakes was probably the same group that everyone had encountered before.

It's just that for some unknown reason, they all died here.

"It feels like it's frozen to death... The White Walkers... Candle Snakes, Candle Dragons... I see!"

Shen Qian's heart skipped a beat, and he finally realized it.

No wonder the candle dragon looked like he was passing by, but he lowered his head and destroyed all the strange ghosts.

The names of Candle Dragon and Candle Snake are somewhat similar. Does it mean that they may have some kind of blood or ethnic connection?
If so it makes sense.

The strange ghosts who appeared here froze all the candle snakes to death by some strange means, making their ancestors angry, and then directly wiped them out.

"Is this the so-called causal loop?"

Shen Qian heaved a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate at this moment.

Fortunately, when encountering snakes, I did not choose to use violent means to solve them.

Otherwise, even if Shen Qian could slaughter the snakes, he might not be able to escape being blown out by the candle dragon.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and had learned all the skills of the sub-profession in advance, so he had the capital to negotiate with the Candle Snakes.

In the dark, it seems that everything is already doomed.

"Shen Qian, we seem to... have gotten rich!"

At this time, Yuan You finally realized that she hugged Shen Qian excitedly.

Shen Qian was startled for a moment, then understood what Yuan You was talking about.

Although these candle snakes are dead, their corpses are also very valuable.

Most fittingly, these candle snakes died in an ice storm, and the integrity of the corpses can be said to be perfect.

This can fetch the highest price in the market.

According to the grade and body shape, the market price of a candle snake corpse is about 500 million to 1000 million.

There are a total of 23 candle snakes here, which is definitely a huge fortune.

... But wait, what do you mean we got rich, I should be the one who got rich, right?

But seeing that Yuan You was still excited, it was not easy for Shen Qian to speak out against her, what if she was really happy for herself?
At this time, Dao Jiu seemed to have some kind of discovery again.

He frowned, and then dragged out a mutilated corpse from under a pile of snow.

When Yuan You saw the corpse belonging to the human race, his gaze immediately became complicated.

This is Gu Yungao's body... It's just that the state of his death can only be described as horrible.

"Let's take his body back, at least there will be a shelter after death."

After all, Yuan You couldn't bear it.

Shen Qian had nothing to do, so he agreed casually.

……

Jingcheng, the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association.

At this moment, on the seventh floor, in the exclusive gathering place belonging to the slashing team, it was unprecedentedly lively.

Even the bar dedicated to the slash-and-till squads can't even sit down.

These adventurers who have been walking outside all year round are gathering together in twos and threes, discussing something dignifiedly or enthusiastically.

"Squad Panshi, and Yeyun, Tianxiu, Dark Star... What's going on today? Is it the annual meeting of the Slashing Squad? Why does it feel like all the well-known teams in Jingcheng are gathered here?"

A warrior who just arrived said in surprise.

"Brother, don't you know? There is a major event outside the city. The Martial Arts Association has issued a ban. All slashing teams are not allowed to leave the city for the time being, and most of the outsiders have been called back."

A martial artist holding a wine glass smiled and said.

"what?"

The newcomers were all taken aback.

"Brother, let me buy you another drink and tell me in detail, what's the matter?"

"Hey, who knows what's going on, isn't everyone just discussing this matter, but I heard that there may be danger outside the city. Some people say that it has something to do with the huge snowstorm entrenched in the east of the city..."

On a nearby table, He Weichen, who was holding a wine glass, listened to the bustling discussions around him, but his expression was a little dazed.

East of the city...

He had already read the warning information issued by the Martial Arts Association, and the coordinates of the strange blizzard were near Xiaowang Village.

I don't know what happened to Shen Qian and Yuan You.

In the past two days, almost all the slashing teams have returned to the city one after another, but they have not been seen for a long time.

However, there should be no great danger if there is a strong mountain and sea follower.

Not to mention Shen Qian's own mystery...

Speaking of the strong mountain and sea man, He Weichen always felt that the other party was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the other party.

"Captain." Du Qiu, who went out to inquire about information, came back, and said a little depressed, "I still don't know what happened, the information given by the Martial Arts Association is too little..."

"It's okay, there are too many mysterious things in the restricted area, can we still figure out everything?"

He Weichen waved his hand indifferently, "Since you can't leave the city for the time being, let's take a rest."

"By the way, I asked around again. Almost all the slashing teams in Jingcheng are here, but no one has admitted to accepting the black night reward. You said it can't be really..."

Du Qiu lowered his voice and stopped talking.

Regarding what Shen Qian left the team to do alone, the two of them were not fools. Although they couldn't react as quickly as Yuan You, after Shen Qian demonstrated the skills of various sub-professions one after another, they also vaguely had some guesses.

It's just that this guess is somewhat shocking.

"But there are mountains and seas to follow before Shen, so it's not difficult to do such a task?" Du Qiu tried to refute at that time.

But He Weichen's light words shattered his self-comfort.

"If it wasn't for self-experience, why would he join other slashing teams first, not to mention...if he hadn't encountered candle snakes by accident, he wouldn't have let that mountain and sea expert show up."

"National martial arts champion... really deserves the name."

Now that things have happened, Du Qiu has long since lost the sense of superiority he had when he faced Shen Qian, leaving only endless sighs.

It can only be said that this unprecedented laurel crown is really not something everyone can afford.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall outside.

The warriors who have been here all year round have already developed a certain sensitivity. As soon as they heard the voice, they knew that something big had happened, and they all ran out immediately.

He Weichen and Du Qiu are no exception.

"...The night bounty 'Tears of the Prisoner' has come to an end!"

As soon as I walked into the hall, I heard someone shouting.

Everyone became interested immediately.

After all, "Tears of a Prisoner Girl" is the only bounty offered in the dark in the past two months, and it was accepted by the mysterious slasher team before, and now that it finally has a result, it will naturally arouse everyone's curiosity.

"The black night bounty's bonus to the team's ranking cannot be underestimated. Just look at the team's leaderboard and you will know who took it!"

Someone shouted again, reminding everyone.

For a while, everyone's eyes shifted to the slash team leaderboard on the left.

It also happened to be at this time that the list was refreshed.

"Hey, that's not right, the top ten teams have not changed much, and there is no extra mark of night in the completed missions!"

"Hiss, look over there, look at that new team that appears in the twelfth place!"

Everyone looked down and quickly found the slash team that had just appeared on the leaderboard.

"Old days?"

"What the hell kind of name is this..."

"It's really a newly established slash-and-plow team. Look at its completed mission marks, there is only one lonely night star."

At this moment, someone yelled, "Fuck...how is this possible!"

"What are you making all the fuss about? Although this team is very strong and has the strength to complete the Night's Bounty, it is still a bit weaker than the old strong team, right?" Someone next to him said inexplicably.

"That's right, the Panshi team has completed the Night's Bounty three times." Someone echoed.

"No, it's not this..." The warrior who exclaimed pointed at the electronic screen and said excitedly, "You really can't see the point, look at the number of people in this team!"

"Number?"

Everyone was puzzled, and when they looked around and saw the number of people in the team information, they all lost their voices for a while.

In the hall, there was an eerie silence.

"Two...two people?"

Someone stuttered and read out the number.

Soon, everyone came back to their senses, exclamations and heated discussions erupted one after another.

"Why is there a slash team with two people?"

"That's right, it doesn't comply with the regulations!"

"Let me tell you guys, it's not a matter of rules or regulations. The problem is that you tell me... how the hell did the two of you complete the Night's Reward?"

"Could it be that there are mountains and seas in it?"

"Shanhai also registered a fucking slasher team. They have different income rights from walking in the restricted area than us. Shanhai from the Panshi team broke through later."

Amidst the noisy discussions, He Weichen and Du Qiu looked at each other, and both saw the wry smile in each other's eyes.

He Weichen sighed, and showed Du Qiu his bracelet, which happened to have a message from the Martial Arts Association 3 minutes ago, indicating that Yuan You had quit the Dark Star Squad.

Their guess was confirmed.

And they also know that the truth behind this is far more outrageous than what everyone is talking about.

Because there were not two people in the newly-appeared old team, but Shen Qian guessed that Yuan You was pulled into the team for the convenience of reporting the results.

So this old team, which has become a new star in Jingcheng, is actually...

only one person.
