Light Cultivation
Eps. 231 — Village Issues
As planned, Jian Chen along with Ziyun and Meily traveled the next day. Fortunately the rain subsided in the morning, although the clouds above were still cloudy.
Because of the situation, Jian Chen could not travel by flying, he used a land route whose land was still muddled by the rain last night.
On the first day they had to spend the night in the open, Jian Chen made a campfire as a light and a warm-up.
Jian Chen hunted the forest chicken first before cultivating it and cooking it. In the space ring Jian Chen always carried spices so that even in the wild he could cook like a kitchen at home.
"Brother Jian, as usual your cooking is always delicious?" Ziyun commented on Jian Chen's cooked chicken.
Despite praising him however Ziyun was unhappy with Jian Chen's talent of cooking, for some reason as a girl who liked him he felt defeated by Jian Chen.
Jian Chen nodded slowly, there were five jungle chickens cooked, one for Jian Chen and Ziyun while the remaining three were spent by Meily.
Although the girl was a little embarrassed while eating the three chickens but Jian Chen calmed down so that Meily did not need to be embarrassed.
Jian Chen chose to stand guard that night and let the two sleep, when the morning arrived the three continued their journey back but something hampered his journey, the weather was still not supportive.
Jian Chen frowned, it seemed like this month the Empire's province was in the rain, visible from the clouds in the sky there that were still cloudy continuously.
"Hm, we must hurry to find shelter, the rain will come soon."
Tracing through the forest, Jian Chen, Ziyun and Meily continued their steps by running through the branches of the tree. It did not last long until the small water began to fall.
Jian Chen thought they would be drenched back but it just so happened that not long ago the rain fell the three found a village.
"We'll take shelter there..."
No longer waiting for them to go straight to the village. Coincidentally there was a small place to eat, besides being able to shelter, Jian Chen's entourage could also fill the stomach.
"It has been a long time since the last five months that there have been visitors from outside the village..." A middle-aged woman smiled gently towards Jian Chen and the two girls who were with him.
"Auntie, we order a warm meal 3 servings?" Jian Chen sat at one of the tables, Ziyun and Meily followed.
The middle-aged woman nodded, not taking long she carried a three-fruit meal.
"Oh, is this ramen?!" Ziyun was the first to know him.
"Beautiful girl, do you recognize her?" The middle-aged woman laughed. "This is our typical village cuisine, you're probably gonna love it?"
Ziyun smiled awkwardly, it seemed like she had misinterpreted that ramen was the typical food of the Niu clan, proof that there was another ramen from a small village like this.
"Are you three warriors?" Not long ago the middle-aged woman was suddenly shocked when she saw the spatial ring embedded on the fingers of the three young people in front of her.
Meily's chopsticks came to a halt, "Right Auntie, is there something?"
The middle-aged woman's expression changed, if she looked ordinary before now her eyes were filled with great expectations, Jian Chen also realized that the woman's expression was different.
"Master and Miss swordsman, our village needs you..." The middle-aged woman suddenly immediately knelt down.
The three were surprised by the action, they did not understand the reason the middle-aged woman immediately acted like that.
"Auntie, is there a big problem in this village?" Meily stopped eating and went straight to the woman.
The beak woman then explained the situation of the village is very gripping behind this caused by a large snake that suddenly appeared around the forest.
The big snake several times attacked the residents even to the point of falling victim, he also ate livestock and destroyed the farms of the residents.
"Auntie, why don't you report this to the government or to the adventurer guild, maybe they can help?" Ask Meily wonder.
"The village chief has done it but somehow there is no response from them or the letter never reached its destination." The middle-aged woman shook her head slowly.
Thinking the problem was over it turned out that there were other problems besides the big snake. Exactly the big snake appeared there was a small organization that offered to help his village.
The small organization asked for some money, initially the village head did not have a problem with it because it was commonplace for them to ask for payment.
But that all changed when the small organization asked for more money, saying the snake was very difficult to deal with.
This continues to be done by them but in fact the snake is still alive now and they have not killed.
'Obviously they're just blackmailing villagers...' Jian Chen shook his head slowly after hearing the story.
Jian Chen was sure it was only a matter of time that the small organization asked for even more money.
"Auntie take it easy, we will help this village repel the snake..." Meily turned her head towards Jian Chen who was immediately embraced slowly.
The middle-aged woman was very happy to hear that, for villagers like those who were laymen with martial arts, the warrior figure had always been believed to be someone who had the power of a god.
Jian Chen then asked him to tell him the detailed information about the snake, after hearing from the story, Jian Chen was sure that the huge snake was a demon.
Jian Chen then left after the rain had subsided with Ziyun and Meily, for Jian Chen it was best that a big matter like this should be resolved immediately.
It was said that the snake originated near the forest that was near the mountain not far the small village was located, after searching for some time Jian Chen finally found his nest.
Without having to be on the fishing line, the snake directly came out of the nest after kissing the arrival of Jian Chen's entourage, visible white snake has a large size and a dozen meters long.
Jian Chen frowned, at least the snake that was in front of his eyes included a hundred-year-old demon. One could kill him if they were at the peak Life Realm realm.
The snake hissed furiously at the arrival of Jian Chen's entourage.
Meily and Ziyun instantly took out their respective weapons including Jian Chen after, both of them were already preparing to attack the snake.
Jian Chen who was first moving as he suddenly appeared in front of the snake's head and kicked it firmly, making the silver snake bounce dozens of meters away.
Jian Chen immediately attacked back while Ziyun and Meily followed behind.
It was not difficult to face the snake with the ability of the three, no gradually they managed to make the snake filled with scratches full of wounds.
Ziyun ended the snake's life with her belly wrapped in ice elements, making her freeze to death.
Jian Chen then took something from the snake as proof that he had killed his snake. Jian Chen also took out his stealth gems and gave them to Ziyun.
While the two were still there, there were dozens of people in uniforms approaching them. The dozens of people were shocked when the huge snake had already been killed and was lying on the ground.
