In a swamp, Sargeras carefully pushed aside the grass. “There,” he said excitedly in a low voice, pointing at a three-meter-long snake with green eyes. “That’s a Green-eyed Magical Snake. Its core is worth 20 roujiamos.”
“20?!” Kil and Monde panted, their eyes shining with excitement. One was holding a sack, and the other had an iron rod in his hand.
This swamp was called the Black Swamp, and was about 10 miles south of Chaos City. It belonged to giant dragons. The Silent Mountains, Dark Abyss, and Valley of Thorns were all not far from here. Different types of magical beasts were living in these places. Rare herbs and animals could also be found here.
There weren’t many dragons, and most of them lived on their island. They didn’t deign to come to these dangerous places. They were using them as their natural defensive barrier. No one could cross it without powerful strength and a flying mount.
In time, this area had become a paradise for adventurers. They could find quests concerning this area every day in the Chaos Guild.There were difficult quests and easy quests. Naturally, difficult ones came with great rewards. A certain golden dragon’s head could be worth 100 million copper coins, while finding some herbs and cooking ingredients could only get an adventurer 10. Easy quests were always much less dangerous, and were often done by less powerful adventurers.
“Boss, 20 roujiamos plus 12 in this bag, and we don’t have to worry about tonight and tomorrow’s food!” Monde said with a smile, carrying a heavy bag with care.
Deep in the Black Swamp, poisonous black fog was floating. No one dared to venture into this place without proper protection.
Sargeras and his two companions were now being protected by a layer of red flames over their bodies. The fog couldn’t reach them.
“Don’t take your eyes off it. If it goes into the ground, then you can say goodbye to your roujiamos,” Sargeras said seriously. “You two go around the back. I’ll heat up the ground to block its escape route, and then summon lava meteorites on it. You wait for the right moment to catch it with the sack. Do not kill it. It’s worth 30 roujiamos alive.”
“It’s as easy as that?” Monde asked, scratching his bald head.
“Yes. Its weapon is its eyes. If you stare into its eyes for three seconds, it will cast an illusion on you. That’s why we have brought a sack. Don’t worry. It’s not poisonous,” Sargeras said, patting Monde on the head. “Go. After we catch this one, we’ll try to find that Green Shadow Wolf I failed to catch last time. Its fur is worth 100 roujiamos.”“Yes, Boss!” Kil and Monde said excitedly. They stayed low and crept towards the snake.
They were warriors and born hunters. They never made a sound.
The snake was still resting there, unaware of the approaching danger. The three lava demons exchanged a glance and nodded.
Sargeras put both hands on the ground. His hands went up in flames, and the flames went into the ground and rushed towards the snake. The ground seemed to be on fire immediately.
Feeling the heat from the ground, the snake raised its head, startled. Then, it saw Sargeras and flicked its tongue menacingly at him, about to leave.
“Appear! Lava meteorites!” Then, the air above them became red. Several burning stones the size of a head dropped from the air and landed before the snake, blocking its way.
“Now!” Sargeras roared, charging towards the snake. “For roujiamo!”
“For roujiamo!” Kil and Monde echoed. There were only three of them, but their cry was loud and inspiring.
The snake tried to find an opportunity to strike back as it was dodging stones.
But, before it could find one, its vision got cut off by the sack, and then it was knocked unconscious.
Monde tied off the sack quickly. “Boss, we did it!” he said to Sargeras excitedly.
“Yes,” Sargeras replied with a smile, nodding. “We’re invincible!”
“For roujiamo!” Monde said with a big smile, holding up the sack.
“When our Burning Legion becomes much stronger, maybe we can kill that golden dragon. It will provide us with years of roujiamos,” Kil said, expectant.
“I will make sure of that,” Sargeras said. “We, the Burning Legion will make sure of that!”
They walked off together, talking about roujiamo.
…
Is this really that good? The six restaurateurs were staring at the roujiamo in their hands. The pleasant aroma of meat made them swallow despite themselves. The back of the elf girl on the bag caught their attention.
They were startled. Not only did he hire a half-dragon as a waitress, but he is using his daughter, a half-elf, as his trademark?
Andrew picked up his roujiamo, and took a bite.
