New legends always rise on the fall of old days, don’t you think?

King of Bone Biting

“Don’t go over there, watch out, it might bite you!

With such a big mouth, one bite and you’d be gone.”

“Stop kidding, it’s barely breathing, how could it have the strength to bite me?

Stop yelling, or I might miss my step and fall to my death here, and my girlfriend is still waiting for me, I don’t want to make her sad.”

Amid the ruins of Plague Town, Niu Niu, bandaged all over, was carefully stepping towards the Swamp Giant Snake with half of its body lying amidst the ruins, holding a rock giant egg found in the wreckage of the Wizard Tower.

It’s not that he was seeking death deliberately, but the task was specifically entrusted to him by the six brothers in his dorm who had already died.

They made him promise to return the stolen egg to the giant snake they exploited.

Behind Niu Niu, Khaki Tontita and Ni Gei Lu Da You stood aside making various strange sounds and loudly intimidating Niu Niu; having witnessed the creature’s might before, they wouldn’t dare to get close.

Though this Legendary Serpent had taken several Incendiary High-Explosive Bombs in Plague Town and was fervently attacked by Jackal Warlocks until it was on its deathbed, who knows if it could make a final strike?

If it really went berserk, everyone currently in the town might end up being buried alongside it.

However, Niu Niu didn’t see it that way.

As he carefully approached holding the giant rock egg, the serpent desperately struggling to breathe among the ruins, painfully shifted its eyes.

Those black agate-like eyes, as tall as a man, stared at him, conveying fairly complex emotions of hatred.

This made Niu Niu realize that the intelligence of this Legendary Creature was not low as he placed the giant egg down under the front claws of the Swamp Giant Snake.

Ningkinanka still struggled to rise, but it was too weak, unable to stand and could only emit mournful keens.

That was the sadness accompanying life’s departure.

After observing the giant snake up close, Niu Niu, though not a biology student, realized this giant beast had persevered in solitude through ages.

This was evident from its unique Gem Scales dotted with rings-like, historical marks.

Like an elephant nearing death, the sadness in its emotions could be easily perceived.

“Do you feel sad for it?”

Ambo’s voice came from behind.

Niu Niu turned to look at his virtual girlfriend and nodded,

“We might have done something wrong.

It’s not a killing machine but we brought it into a slaughterfield.”

“Indeed, according to the old church records, Ningkinanka is one of the most peaceful Legendary Creatures.

It never leaves the depths of the swamp on its own.

There are even several accounts of lost people who wandered there and came back safely.”

Ambo stepped forward, removed her gloves, and placed her hand on the serpent’s belly.

Feeling the life fading from the vast body, presumably using a Witch Hunter’s Secret Technique, after a moment of sensing, she said to Niu Niu,

“It shouldn’t have died.

The swamp spirits, as long as they don’t leave this land, can slowly recover from serious injuries.

But this giant snake’s condition is a bit special.

It was already injured before.

That strange injury prevented it from healing and, along with the cruel methods continuously used by the Jackal Warlocks, finally broke it.

It’s a Legendary Creature, my warrior.

Even the process of heading towards death is destined to be long.

Maybe we can save it?”

“Huh?”

Niu Niu had just finished a silent vigil for the giant snake when you mentioned there’s still hope?

This was awkward.

However, Niu Niu realized he might have triggered a hidden quest from Ambo, so he immediately shared this information with others in the Wild Beast Group.

Upon hearing that the giant snake could still be saved, the student group quickly gathered.

Being young, they were kind-hearted, and along with the urgent prodding from the offline six dorm mates, they finally took up Ambo’s rescue mission.

It was clearly a fetch-quest chain.

Because the first step was to understand the origin of the strange injury preventing the giant snake from healing, it was essential to identify who had hurt the snake to find the right treatment.

Ambo and her Witch Hunter teammates were using Natural Psychic Power here to keep the serpent’s condition from worsening while players scattered about seeking someone who could clarify the source of the injury.

After much searching, they eventually ended up finding Madam Phemys.

At that moment, Phemys was surfing online forums outside Plague Town, holding a Calculating Pearl and fulfilling her daily duties as a member of the development team.

Hearing about the players’ wish to rescue the giant snake, she hesitated for a moment, seriously doubting whether these people had a hero complex.

Hey!

Be a bit more sensible, alright!

You lured the giant snake out of the forbidden lands, directly leading to its severe injury.

If the giant snake truly possesses intelligence and emotions as you said, then the first thing it’d want after recovery is to kill all you bastards!

Oh, wait, you’re not afraid of dying?

Then it’s fine…

“Sigh, having so many lives really is the capital for mischief,”

Phemys lamented internally, then teleported herself and the young players back beside the giant snake.

She leaned on her Night Howling Staff, which was taller than her, and floated up, maneuvering to the massive wound on the back of the giant snake, which had been cleared by solo players who came upon notice and shared the hidden quest.

Little Brother Fu was also there, directing his Scorpion Lion to clear the heavy rubble remnants with its paws so that the giant snake’s wound could be more easily examined by the Madam
