Hai Thanh, Wukan Dynasty, year 2309, city lord's palace.
In the city lord's palace, servants and servants came and went quickly, everyone's faces were filled with excitement and tension.
In the young lady's room, the sound of the midwife's urging was occasionally heard.
A man about 20 years old was walking back and forth in front of the room.
Next to him was a beautiful middle-aged woman, whose age was estimated to be only around 30 years old.
"Mom! Will Ninh Tuyet be okay? It's been so long, why hasn't she given birth yet?" The young man looked worried and turned to ask the middle-aged beautiful woman next to him.
"It'll be okay! Since she was pregnant, she has always nourished her baby very well and is diligent about eating and drinking.
Tieu Thanh, rest assured there will be no problem."
Although the middle-aged beautiful woman was also worried, she still gently comforted her son.
At this moment a baby's cry rang out, followed by the joyful sound of the midwife.
The young man finally let out a breath and smiled.
"Finally out"
"Congratulations young master, congratulations Tieu thu.
My mother is plump and square, she is a young master."
The midwife opened the door and walked out, holding a baby boy in her arms, looking quite chubby.
"Good good! People are not quick to reward."
The middle-aged beautiful woman also appeared happy and immediately sent someone to bring her the money.
The young man held his child in his arms, smiling brightly.
This baby is extremely adorable. Even though he is still young, you can tell from his big, round, flexible eyes that he will be very smart in the future.
The baby was held without crying, just looking around with a questioning look, his eyes finally stopped, his mouth slightly curled up.
"I am Gu or Kim.
Return!"
Another month has passed.
Deep in the quiet mountains and forests, a team of centurions quietly walked, their vigilant eyes constantly scanning the dark places, their hands tightly grasping their weapons to respond to unexpected situations at any time go out.
This group is mercenaries. They have been wandering around the Zhufan range for many years. Even if they only go in a group or cooperate with each other, they basically maintain good chemistry, constantly exchanging glances. You can also detect danger as well as safety from the other person's eyes.
This group of people have different outfits, obviously they are not the same group.
Their level is quite high, most of them are third-rate martial artists, a few are second-rate. If you pay close attention, you will see that the woman is walking in the front, her body radiating an aura that far surpasses the surrounding people.
This girl is actually a first-class expert.
This girl looks like she's only about 25 or 26 years old, her figure is not bad, her eyes are slightly slanted, her facial features seem to match, not too beautiful but still considered pleasing to the eye.
This woman walked in front, her right hand clutching the sword hilt at her waist, her eyes cold and extremely focused.
"Commander Du, we have gone quite a distance, should there be no problem?" A mercenary held a knife in his hand, looked around warily, and opened his mouth to ask the girl in the lead.
"Don't be subjective, this Twin-Headed Snake is extremely stubborn, if it hasn't left its territory for ten miles, it won't let go.
This is the first time you encounter such a high-level ferocious beast, it's best not to relax."
The girl in the lead didn't turn around, just opened her mouth to respond.
At this moment, a thick fog suddenly appeared in front, and the crowd's vision could not help but narrow.
"Everyone be careful, ahead is the "Frost Mist" as long as we get out of this mist we are safe.
Everyone be on high alert, that Double-Headed Snake will most likely use this fog to attack us."
The girl in the lead opened her mouth to shout, still holding the hilt of her sword, walking slowly into the fog.
The group of twelve people raised their vigilance and entered one after another.
On a high tree branch, a huge snake slowly appeared.
This snake has two heads and blue scales around its body. If it doesn't move, it's hard to detect.
Four pairs of eyes stared at the foggy area ahead, revealing resentment.
Without hesitation, it quickly crawled down and merged into the mist.
Not long after the great snake disappeared into the fog, a person appeared under an ancient tree.
This person has a slim body, snow-white skin, shoulder-length hair, and an extremely beautiful face.
If this person's chest wasn't flat and his throat was high, I'm afraid no one would believe this person was a man.
This person is none other than Nijin. He has also gained a lot of energy while killing ferocious beasts.
The internal energy in the body is flowing, although it is not yet able to enter the second level of master, it is very close to this realm.
He had been following this Twin-Headed Snake' for nearly half a month, originally wanting to take advantage of its opportunity to hunt for food and set a trap for it.
Who would have thought that before he could take action, he was led away by these mercenaries?
Nijin of course did not have the confidence to set a trap to kill this Double-Headed Snake. After all, it was a level four ferocious beast, with the same strength as a second-rate martial artist.
Nijin had also planned in advance, he only needed to appear to attract hatred from this snake, then use a trap to continuously kill it.
Nijin has read many books and knows that this snake is extremely hostile. As long as it has not passed through its territory, it will definitely not let go.
Speaking of which, during the past month, Nijin has killed no less than three level four ferocious beasts. If it weren't for this snake's extremely difficult venom, he wouldn't have needed to spend so much effort.
After half a month of monitoring this snake, Nijin once saw it bite and kill an ape whose strength had reached level five, in just one bite.
Although the Gibbon is very strong and has immense force, its speed is not as good as this snake.
The gibbon got mad for a while, then lay still and motionless, and was finally swallowed by the snake's two heads.
It turns out that although this snake is only level four, a first-class martial artist and a level five ferocious beast should not dream of defeating it easily.
Especially since this snake is extremely good at hiding itself, once it's motionless, you won't even dream of detecting it.
It's good now, with this group of mercenaries coming to stir up hatred, he just needs to go behind and take advantage of the snake's vulnerability and give it a fatal blow.
As for the mercenaries, at most, he would be done with compensating these people for a few things. In any case, his strength at this time is absolutely not weaker than a second-class expert.
Although the girl named Du had already entered the top tier, she was bitten in order to save her comrade.
Although this girl has taken the antidote, her current strength is only less than five million.
Don't think that the Twin-Headed Snake's venom is so easy to deal with. Haven't you seen that level-five ferocious ape beast, can't resist being bitten by it for how long? Humans physically want to compare with ferocious beasts? Dream.
Inside the fog.
The mercenaries still advanced cautiously, pressing their backs against each other.
The girl surnamed Du frowned slightly, glanced at the scratch on her left arm, and silently cursed.
Just now, when fighting with the Double-Headed Snake, she had the upper hand, but she didn't expect this snake to be too insidious.
It took advantage of the time when her old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet been born. It turned around and rushed at her subordinates to slaughter her.
She could also ignore it, but in the end, she still couldn't see death without help.
She had just rushed in to save someone, but she did not expect this snake to take the right opportunity to bite her.
She was originally a first-class expert, so she couldn't let the snake get what it wanted, so she immediately turned her leg and kicked it out.
Although the snake was large, the strength in her legs was that of a first-class expert.
The snake was kicked and immediately fell to the side. Unexpectedly, her left hand was still grazed by the fangs of a snake head.
Even though it only broke a little bit of skin, the poison still penetrated very quickly.
She also quickly used the antidote, but danger was right next to her, she couldn't sit down and do the healing work, she could only let the medicine slowly absorb.
In the end, because she couldn't use her powers to heal her wounds, she couldn't use even half of her strength, so she had to grit her teeth and command the group to leave.
While she was lacking concentration, a loud scream rang out.
A third-rate martial artist was dragged away by something and quickly disappeared from sight.
The crowd swallowed their saliva, their hands holding their weapons couldn't help but tremble.
"Everyone gather, don't show panic."
The girl named Du quickly regained composure and opened her mouth to shout.
The crowd immediately grabbed their weapons and slowed their breathing.
At this moment, Du moved.
The long sword resounded, the sword light was dim.
Deep in the blind side, an angry roar sounded, and soon nothing could be heard anymore.
Walking forward, I only saw blood rushing into my nose.
"It's injured, everyone should be careful."
Commander Du's eyes scanned the blood stains and smiled.
"Yes! Commander, please rest assured."
The crowd behind said in unison.
This time, the group of people felt much more at ease. After all, according to them, the snake was injured. If they continued to bother, it would reveal its traces.
At this exact moment, from the top of a tall tree, two huge snake heads rushed forward.
Commander Du reacted the fastest. As soon as he swept his sword, he saw blood splattering everywhere.
However, the two martial artists were still bitten, making mournful sounds.
The two snake heads also screamed incessantly, quickly crouching on high tree branches.
Two pairs of vertical eyes radiated blue light, staring at Commander Du.
Commander Du only felt her scalp numb. She wiped the blood off her face, her eyes guarded.
The two martial artists died, the bite of the two snake heads was so poisonous, they hit their necks in one shot.
Even if the two of them immediately used the antidote, it would be useless.
The trunk of an ancient tree is still dripping with fresh blood, the smell of blood is very strong and fishy.
Obviously, the other snake was also not lightly injured.
Just as everyone was nervous, a loud roar suddenly sounded from above the tree.
The huge body of the Double-Headed Snake fell from above.
The mercenaries' faces changed drastically and they quickly jumped back.
Just heard a loud noise.
The snake fell to the ground, writhing continuously, followed by a head falling below.
The snake writhed for a while then stopped, perhaps it was about to die.
Commander Du's face looked shocked, but immediately turned into crazy joy.
On the top of a tall tree, a half-white, half-green shape jumped down.
The mercenaries had nervous expressions on their faces, and their hands holding their swords were also somewhat uncertain.
"You don't need to be nervous, I have no malicious intentions."
A warm sound rang out.
The figure raised his head and smiled, slightly clasping his hands in ceremony.
Commander Du also squinted his eyes and watched.
I saw this person wearing a wolf's skin, long light blue hair, blue pupils, skin as white as snow, a face like a woman's, absolutely beautiful.
However, they immediately realized that this person was not a woman, but a man, and this guy's throat was very high.
The mercenaries couldn't help but sweat, silently scolding their comrades below for not knowing good or bad.
Commander Du's eyes lit up, he clasped his hands and asked.
"I don't know who you are. Why do you want to help us?"
"I was just passing by. I heard the sound of fighting so I came to take a look. I didn't expect to see this Double-Headed Snake attacking you. I just slashed it with a knife."
Nijin clasped her hands and smiled in response.
"I'm Du Tinh.
Deputy commander of the Black Water Mercenary Corps, I don't know what your Excellency is like."
Commander Du clasped his hands again.
"I..."
"Banh"
Nijin was about to answer when suddenly a blue shadow flashed and his body was blown away by something.
The mercenary group immediately became nervous and looked towards the snake.
I saw that even though the snake still had one head, its strength suddenly increased.
"How is that possible? It was already dying just now."
Commander Du couldn't believe his eyes and exclaimed in fear.
