Chapter 28 Totem? It was passed down from our ancestors.
"What do I think of totems? They are good things that our ancestors carefully selected and passed down. Just like Da Huang and the tabby cat, they can kill all kinds of foreign coquettish bitches in seconds!"
Qin Xiao smiled slightly and said without thinking.
After saying this, Qin Xiao felt something was not right.
Why did he feel that Tang Yue's expression froze for a moment when she heard his words?
Qin Xiao looked at Tang Yue's expression carefully and found that apart from being a little surprised, there was nothing else on her face.
Could it be that I am overthinking it?
Qin Xiao shook his head and gave up this speculation.
In fact, Qin Xiao was not wrong.
When Tang Yue heard the totem being compared with Da Huang and the tabby cat, she was indeed a little confused.
However, when I think about it, it seems to make a lot of sense.
"Why do I say that? Our country has always used the dragon as a totem, and dragons are creatures that have always lived in legends."
"There is a saying that the totem flag of our descendants of Yanxia was originally a snake. After defeating other tribes, we added their totem symbols to our own totems, and over time it became a dragon."
Qin Xiao smiled and continued, "If you can confirm that the other party is a totem, then there is nothing to say. I have explained the reasons clearly."
After taking a deep look at Qin Xiao, Tang Yue said seriously, "I want to ask you for a favor!"
"Just tell me, we are the best partners. As long as the money is in place, everything else is fine!"
Qin Xiao took a sip of tea and continued, "Besides, you called me in the first place just to ask me to help you, but you still haven't told me what you want me to do."
"No hurry, I want to tell you a story."
Tang Yue suddenly spoke.
"Yes, I like listening to stories the most."
Qin Xiao said with a smile.
"My hometown is in a village where you can always see the lake. The villages are also distributed like these small lakes. If they were completely connected, they would become a prosperous town."
Tang Yue smiled slightly, with a rare bit of innocence in her eyes.
"Oh, then we are a little different. There are mountains behind my hometown, and the sea is a little far away."
Qin Xiao said seriously.
"Hate it, don't interrupt me!"
Tang Yue glared at Qin Xiao angrily.
Seeing this, Qin Xiao shrugged and closed his mouth.
“Our villages are not only located beside the lakes, but also outside the Anjie.”
"Most of the people in the village are mages. Even many girls who look frail may be the best hunters..."
Having said that, Tang Yue paused for a moment. She looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "Why don't you ask why?"
Women are often unreasonable creatures. When they ask you to cooperate, they will cooperate obediently.
Qin Xiao understood this very well.
So he quickly cooperated and asked, "Why?"
To be honest, Qin Xiao didn't react just now.
Tang Yue’s village is indeed very strange.
Most people are mages, which is somewhat acceptable, and it is indeed the case in some places.
However, the village is not within the Anjie, which means that the village is in the territory of the demons.
In this situation, not to mention a defenseless village, even a small town would be swallowed up by demons.
"Because our village is blessed by God."
"As long as the gods are here, no demons will appear within a ten-kilometer radius."
Tang Yue smiled, her beautiful and charming eyes sparkling with bright light.
"God actually has such ability? I always thought that God was just a kind of spiritual comfort." Qin Xiao said with some surprise.
"We worship different gods."
Tang Yue said with a smile.
"Then what god do you worship? I'll go and worship him when I have time. I hope he will protect me and help me get rich!"
Qin Xiao said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Totem, the god we worship is Totem!"
Tang Yue spoke word by word, her tone extremely firm.
After these words were spoken, Qin Xiao was stunned.
He stared at Tang Yue blankly and didn't say anything for a long time.
After a long time, he finally came to his senses and whispered, "You've been beating around the bush for a long time. What you meant by asking me for help was actually asking me to help the totem? Does the totem really exist?"
"clever."
Tang Yue nodded in appreciation.
"But, according to historical records, totems should be quite powerful. How can I help?"
He had to pretend to be stupid. After all, not many people knew about the black snake shedding its skin, and Qin Xiao had no reason to know.
"Every ten years, it goes into a molting phase, which causes it to become very weak."
"This means that some natural enemies and some people with ulterior motives may take advantage of this opportunity to attack it."
"The day is coming soon. The presiding judge asked me to take charge of this matter and asked me to find some trustworthy people."
As soon as Tang Yue finished speaking, Qin Xiao immediately understood what she meant.
"This kind of thing, normally it shouldn't be my turn."
Qin Xiao frowned and whispered softly, "Are you doubting your own people?"
"That's right. I suspect that our tribe is colluding with outsiders. No matter how well-planned the plan is, it will leak out. That's why we chose you."
A charming smile appeared on Tang Yue's face, and her beautiful eyes stared straight at Qin Xiao: "Besides, the aura on you is only that of a mid-level magician, and your strength is just right."
"Hmm? Shouldn't the guardian totem be as strong as possible?"
Qin Xiao asked in confusion.
"During the molting period, it will become very sensitive. The appearance of any high-level magician or commander-level monster will make it fall into a state of irritability."
Tang Yue narrowed her beautiful eyes and explained with a smile.
"In that case, I'll take this mission and I'll give you a 20% discount on the price!"
Qin Xiao agreed without any hesitation.
He wanted to protect the totem, not to covet the roasted wings of the Silver Dome Lord.
"Money, money, money, you only care about money, why don't you let money get you down!"
Tang Yue rolled her eyes and continued, "I'll take you to see it. We call it the Black Snake, the Totem Black Snake."
Tang Yue brought Qin Xiao to a somewhat strange place.
Three stone sculptures that look like incense burners stand on the water. They can stand like this, so I guess they have long roots in the water.
They present a very equal triangular position, and the firelight in the pond furnace is beating softly, reflecting on the black water reflecting the bright moon.
"Big guy, do you hear me?"
Tang Yue jumped to the Three Pools Mirroring the Moon and spoke in a low voice.
“Gurgle gurgle gurgle~~”
The water surface began to roll, and from the violence of the rolling, one could tell that the thing that floated up must be extremely huge.
Sure enough, beneath the silver lake illuminated by the moonlight, a shocking black shadow was slowly emerging.
