Chapter 475: 474…We Call It “Suicide Raid”

Not to mention how Lord Murphy, who was hiding in the shadows, was slandering the pure student party in his mind.

After they played a rather childish game of chance, the unlucky Che Che had the courage to apply a spell to himself in the midst of the encouragement and ridicule of the others, which could reduce the chances of being perceived and obscured by the shadows, and after everything was in place, he raised his middle finger towards the person next to him, and only then ran into the restricted area of the swamp in front of him in a puff of smoke.

It was a place they hadn’t been to before, as the last time they had come to try and scout it out they had met an explorer who had been sent traveling to the astral plane with a spell.

But it wasn’t a big deal.

For as large as the swampy forbidden land was, there was only one path it could take forward, and it was only necessary to follow the odd ruins of buildings ever forward to enter its depths.

And speaking of those building ruins hidden in the swamp mist .
Che Che always had a feeling!
These ruins that had been corroded beyond recognition by the climate in the swamp could no longer be seen, but they were very different from the style of buildings in the outside world.

If we have to say, the buildings outside, including Plague Town, actually follow a unified medieval style, mainly utilitarian with some religious flavor, but the buildings remaining in the forbidden zone are more like temple-like buildings!

Especially those pillars and collapsed stone statues that were covered in moss and vines.

The young man felt like he was trekking through a more weathered, oversized, swampy environment of the Parthenon.

“I’ve long heard from Auntie Water that this game’s aesthetics are quite colorful, and even though Che Che I’m not an art student, I seem to be able to taste some of it after seeing more of it.”

The Blood Torturer turned on the recording function of his arithmetic jewel, recording the mysterious silence of these swamps he had seen during his flight.

This was his habit.

Che Che was an amusing literary youth who always liked to record things that he found interesting, and the current “publicity ambassador” of the game in the real world, the God of Medical Protection, Dai En, always liked to look for Che Che to ask for footage when he made his videos.

He can always find outrageous material on a variety of subjects in his arithmetic pearls.

Che Che thought that he might become an amateur photographer in the future, and of course it would be even better if he could make money from this hobby.

“Crap, why are these jackals still here seducing that swamp giant snake! Do they keep doing this kind of stuff here without bothering about their own town being attacked?”

The young student quickly reached the entrance of the forbidden land, only to see those damn jackal warlocks commanding the undead army to “bug” weaken that stupid swamp serpent just like before, compared to three days ago, Che Che could clearly feel that the swamp serpent had become a bit weaker.

It seems that these jackals’ tactic of attrition is still useful.

He didn’t approach any closer, but instead sneaked around with the intention of bypassing the scene of the battle between the jackals and the giant snake, and slipped around the side to the deeper part of the forbidden land.

It would be best to find the nest of the giant snake.

But right after Che Che’s very obscene detour succeeded, a certain turn of his head caused him to immediately connect his communication with his brothers waiting outside as if he had discovered a new continent:

“This Legendary Giant Snake is injured.”

Che Che exclaimed with a suppressed voice:
“It has horrible wounds on its back that look to be infected, that jeweled scales are showing purple bruises, and the long tail that always hides in the muddy water has actually had a small portion of it bitten off.

Holy shit!

This wound is horrible!
It’s definitely not the kind of thing a jackal could make, it’s probably been attacked by some other giant beast!”

“But who else in this swamp would have messed with it besides the Jackals that attacked it?”

Meowshark over there said suspiciously:

“Could it be that strange NPC that took us out earlier?”

“It’s hard to say.”

Che Che ventured a little closer and fished out his monoculars again to peer over there for a moment as he reported:

“That wound looks a lot like a claw wound, so it’s not likely that it’s a wound from this giant snake’s fight with the other giant snakes?

No wonder it’s gotten weaker, it’s not that those jackals are so powerful, it’s the fact that this guy was already injured and didn’t have any way to rest that’s causing it so much pain.

These jackals are really vicious.

They dragged it just to make the injury worse.”

“Good, this means that the giant snake must hate the jackals with a passion in its heart, if it really has this thing called thinking.”

Badger said over there:

“That’s a good thing for the moment.

You continue to search deeper for the giant snake’s lair, news just came in from Plague Town that Missy needs to rest for six hours before she can reopen the southern front for Psychic Counterbalance on Lady Water’s side. Based on that time, our challenge copy is due at midnight tomorrow, and we still have a day to complete the prep for this backup plan.

You find a safe rendezvous point and we’ll go over to meet up with you, it’s a bit too much for you to explore such a large area by yourself.”

“F*ck, that’s more like it!”

Che Che spat out.

He continued to carefully flap his wings as he continued onward, and it was very quiet further on after crossing the area where the jackals and the swamp serpent were fighting.

It even had an oozing quiet beauty to it.

Cheche felt like he was entering a fantasy realm that no one had set foot in for thousands of years.

This lush land was no longer even a mere swampy terrain, and the young vampire saw upright giant trees stretching all the way up into the sheltering clouds overhead, while vines that looked like ladders of rattan twisted back and forth between the giant trees, shaping the place into an oversized, three-dimensional dome of nature.

Although he was not a believer in nature, Che Che could still sense a certain “harmony” in this area.

The deeper he went, the more life existed in Che Che’s perception, and he was shocked to realize that this forbidden land was not just filled with terrifying snakes.

Not only were there other beings here, but there were also a lot of them.

Swamp tigers, crocodiles, dense forest bats, and some birds with brightly colored feathers that flew around the trees, and even strange monkeys that swung around grasping at vines, along with herds of deer that wandered around the water in the forest and those silly rabbits that poked their heads in the grass.

It’s like an undisturbed “paradise”.

“This isn’t right!
This doesn’t fit the description of the ecosystem taught by the junior high school biology teacher I once had a crush on… The amount of food that the mega creatures eat every day would be enough to make this place biologically extinct.”

Che Che scratched his head in puzzlement.

He vaguely remembered that his junior high school biology teacher, who had a very imperial style, did not describe the concept of the ecosphere in this way, and although this scene in front of him made people feel relaxed from the bottom of their hearts, the strangeness of its existence instead made Che Che even more vigilant.

He didn’t approach those seemingly “normal” things, after all, he was in an “abnormal” place, and followed the route of the huge crater in the muddy water left by Ninkinanka’s movement on the ground all the way to the front, and then, unsurprisingly, found that
“Shit! Guys come on, this is a large maze.”

Chewie said annoyed over the comms:
“I see the footprints I just left behind, which proves that I’ve started going around in circles in place, there must be a large maze spell in effect here .”

“A maze spell? Isn’t that the ‘air wall’ set up by the development team?”

Pigeon Treasure exclaimed:
“Crap, is there another ongoing testing program behind this? Are we having a repeat of Stick’s story? Should you come back first?

Lest we’re just as happy with the seven-day package as Stick.

If we get banned for seven days during this raid, I think I’ll go crazy.”

“It shouldn’t be that bad.”

Che Che rubbed his chin and guessed:
“It’s just a bare mountain back here, and I don’t see anything of interest, but I did notice that there are traces left behind by the giant snake’s movement all over the place, and I picked up scales it shed in the muddy water.

Its lair should be somewhere in this labyrinth.

Even if we can’t find the lair, it’s still good to pick up some more scales and share them with everyone.

Anyway, come on.

Don’t be afraid, this journey is very safe, I guess this Ninkinanka Giant Snake is the only dangerous thing in this area, now that the hatred has been pulled away by the jackals, we can pass through here unhindered ah.”

“Good, you wait!”

Hearing Che Che say that advanced crafting materials could be found in the labyrinth, the group of student parties immediately set off.

They completely didn’t realize that they were followed by the bad-hearted Lord Murphy behind them.

The Vampire Governor stealthily followed his student party warriors, slipping and sliding along as if they were traveling as they stepped into the forbidden area of the swamp that had already been scouted for safety. He felt a strange sense of accomplishment.

This was a place that even Tris, the “unlucky traveler”, hadn’t been to before. Ha, he had finally surpassed Tris in a certain field.

Then Murphy realized that his quest was pathetic!
The downside of having a girlfriend who is too good at what she does is this, right?

“Crap, what a pickup!”

After the student party met up with Che Che, they spread out and looked around in this big labyrinth, and it didn’t take long to find a lot of giant snake scales that had been discarded in the muddy water.

These crafting materials, even in their raw state, were labeled as “Seiko” quality, representing the rarity and value of this item, and for a moment, the small bit of discouragement in the student party’s hearts was immediately thrown out of the sky.

Even if the backup plan couldn’t be implemented successfully, just taking these scales back to Mrs. Tris would surely bring in a considerable amount of extra money.

They excitedly became the “mushroom picking nuns” and began to rummage around in this swamp that had been inflicted with the labyrinth spell, but Murphy didn’t care about the treasures that were hidden in it.

He frowned when he entered the labyrinth, because his administrator system suddenly alerted him that there was an “optional exploration area” nearby.

“What do you mean ‘optional exploration area’? Can you at least give me an explanation?”

Murphy spat in his mind:

“When I first activated this system before I was amazed by your functions, but the more I used it, the more I realized that this thing of yours really has all sorts of problems, and now I’m so lazy that I don’t even have any explanatory phrases.

But when the Administrator System was officially unlocked earlier, that [Data Deletion] said that it left something behind on this continent to help me better fulfill my mission, so does this ‘Optional Exploration Areas’ mean that there are ‘Aid Items’ left behind by it around here?

Tsk, if it wasn’t for the urgent situation of the Plague Town Raiders at the moment, I’d have to spend some time exploring this place.

But since it’s labeled as ‘optional exploration’, it proves that it’s the same whenever this thing comes, and odds are that it won’t interfere with the advancement of my ‘main quest’.”

Thinking so, Murphy unleashed his senses within the effective range of the perpetual labyrinth spell at the moment, and after crossing over the stupid little players who were milling around in various parts of the labyrinth, the vampire lord quickly discovered the path leading to the depths of the labyrinth.

It was obstructed by a layer of rocky illusions, so it was no wonder that the student party was unable to discover a way to proceed.

Murphy should have gone to explore the area himself, but considering that he only had one life to live, he didn’t know what kind of “plot” would be triggered if he stepped into the serpent’s lair.
Therefore, out of caution, he didn’t take action immediately but waited at the same place. A few minutes later, the electronic snail, which was humming a song while looking for the scales of the giant snake in the muddy ground, slowly walked over.

He was already holding a large pile of giant snake scales in his hand, and his expression was as happy as a little fat man who had picked up a few million dollars.

It was obvious that he was in a good mood, so Murphy decided to give him a “surprise”.

The vampire quietly walked behind him, and when the electronic snail bent down to pick up the scales below, Murphy covered his mouth and flew up and kicked the electronic snail in the buttocks, causing the young vampire to lose balance on his feet and crash headfirst into the rocks in front of him with his hands in the air.

That should have left the e-snail with a bloody head.

However, as the snail exclaimed, his entire body “traveled” over the rock in front of him and plunged headfirst into the inner nest of the giant snake.

“Damn! I’ve found a giant snake’s nest, come here, come here! It’s so big in here! It’s just like an underground cave… Crap, this style doesn’t feel right!

Come on!”

The electronic snail’s exclamation of surprise quickly drew in the other student parties.

They rushed into the lair that was blocked by the rock illusion, and outside, Murphy waited for ten seconds or so, and only after confirming that there was no danger did the vampire lord grip the hilt of his sword at his waist and slowly walked in.

It was indeed a huge cavern.

But the interior was not gloomy.

For there were clearly man-made lights overhead illuminating the place, and Murphy realized at the first sight of certain structures in the lair before him that this was by no means a naturally occurring cavern.

After all, have you ever seen a natural cave equipped with a “fully automatic feeding machine”?

A huge silver-gray instrument was set in the cave wall, its structure is similar to the feeder for dogs and cats, there is a huge button below, just need to touch it will have gray “large cat food” from which sprinkled.

Che Che and Badger are having a great time there.

They also found this “Giant Snake’s Lair” is different, floating in the air, Meow Shark looked at the depth of the cavern for giant snakes to rest in the pool, as well as the pool suspended in the pool of some colorful “toys” he could not help but spit out:
“Where is this a dangerous giant snake’s lair? This is clearly a pet house! So, the swamp giant snake is actually a pet kept by some mysterious existence?”

“Look at these bones! These are the bones of a jackal, I can’t be mistaken.”

Cuckoo Chicken stood beside a pile of corpses that had weathered into skeletons at the entrance of the lair, he twisted a bone insignia from the side with disgust, distinguished it, and said:
“Item identification shows that these jackals are ‘guards of the King of Biting Bones’! They’ve been dead for at least a hundred years… Why do I get the feeling that this is like a plot exploration area?
There must be a lot of hidden historical details to be found in there . Holy shit! This yoke is a fine-quality voodoo psionic weapon?

Come on!

Clean this place up!
It’ll be another profit to take this stuff out and sell it to the newbies, and hey, I probably understand the joys of treasure hunters.”

“Hey! Aren’t you guys forgetting business?”

Pigeon Treasure shouted irritably from the back:

“We’re here to find something that can lure the Giant Serpent to charge the Jackal’s position, these babies can be explored slowly afterward, come here! I found its egg!
I think this thing could definitely work.”

He shouted, and the others came over to a half man tall “egg” sitting on a special device at Pigeon Treasure’s feet.

This thing had been severely petrified, and except for its smooth exterior that still maintained an egg-shaped structure, its exterior material had almost completely become stone.

Badger went over and touched it, he couldn’t feel any life fluctuation in it, he reached out his hand and put it on top of the egg and activated the item identification.

After a few seconds, a message popped up:
Name: Unhatchable Egg

Quality: Special Plot Item

Item Description: [Ninkinanka is a thing of legend, even the most knowledgeable biologists on the continent would be hard pressed to tell more secrets related to it, not to mention the revelation of how this swamp serpent reproduces.

Congratulations on your discovery of a giant snake egg that has yet to hatch.

Unfortunately, however, this particular creature must be assisted by special instruments in order to successfully break its shell, and the entire mysterious facility that protects its colony has now been out of commission for nearly a thousand years.

No new life has come to the serpent’s colony in a thousand years, and once again, this powerful and fragile race has come to the end of its existence.

Perhaps you could try to help bring Ninkinanka’s endangered community back to life?”]

“Hiss, the information revealed by this egg is finely thought out.”

Badger withdrew his hand as he addressed the others:

“I feel as if we’ve triggered an extraordinary event, this forbidden land is definitely harboring a super big secret, this place didn’t become a forbidden land because of the existence of the Ninkinanka! This is exactly the area that appeared in order to preserve this cluster.

It wasn’t a dangerous place at all, it was a ‘biological reserve’!
Crap!

Who the hell built it?

I feel like this fantasy-style medieval world we’re in is turning into a ‘post-apocalyptic’ world all of a sudden.

Guys I’m panicking.

It’s not like we’re going to find out that a super civilization once existed on this continent by exploring afterwards, is it?”

The others were silent.

They looked at me and me and you all lost their minds, but after a few minutes, Pigeon Treasure hammered it out:
“Forget about that for now! Take care of the Plague Town Raiders in front of us, and when it’s our turn, we’ll try to use this egg to seduce the giant snake out.

I think this is definitely risky, in the instinct of protecting the egg that giant snake will probably not hesitate to kill us, that is a legendary creature, if we are touched by it, we will be finished.

So let’s be prepared to kill ourselves.

Even if we all die we must break through Plague Town! Let the others see our strength.”

“Good!”

“Which one will be the first to go?”

“Why don’t we draw lots? Don’t get upset, whoever is the longest will go first, hey, fair enough?”
