Chapter 986: Have They Become Magical Beasts Too? They Need To Advance Translation
“Little Treasure, are you kidding?”
“Am I kidding? I’m serious. Let it devour us.”
“No, no, no, I don’t want it. It’s so disgusting and dirty. If it eats us, won’t we die?”
“Fool, do you remember how Sun Wukong dealt with Princess Iron Fan in Journey to the West? Sun Wukong caused trouble in Princess Iron Fan’s stomach. Didn’t Princess Iron Fan have to compromise in the end?”
“But this is a snake, not Princess Iron Fan. Look at its big fangs, it can bite us off with one bite. I don’t want it, I don’t want it to swallow me.”
“Then, then I’ll attract its attention and let it swallow me. You’ll take the opportunity to run?”
“No, don’t, I won’t leave you.”
“But if we don’t do that, it will definitely eat me and you. We only have one way. It’s too big, we’re not its match.”
“We can take a detour to the back. Didn’t Da Bai train its tail for us many times? We can also use the snake’s tail for training.”
“When Da Bai trained us, we fell down many times. Moreover, Da Bai has its own weight. Look at the tree next to the snake’s tail. It’s all broken. If we get hit, we’ll die. We haven’t practiced enough yet, so we can’t fight it. Besides, I remember Daddy saying that when you hit a snake, you hit its seven inches. We don’t even know where its seven inches are.”
“Do we have to be eaten? Can we not?”
“No, Da Bao, listen to me. We are too small for it. In Da Bai’s words, we won’t even be enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. So if we are in its stomach, we might not die immediately. We can start from its internal organs. If we do that, we can cut open its stomach from the inside. There is nothing in there that can stop us.”
“Look at its big belly. There’s more than enough room for the two of us.”
Little Treasure seemed to be patiently enticing her, and the snake really looked down on them. It seemed to think that the two of them were not lethal at all. It stood not far away and slowly approached them with its head held high.
“But… But I’m still afraid.”
“Don’t be afraid. Listen to me. Hold the knife quietly in your hand. We’ll go over slowly. As long as it swallows us, we’ll have a chance. This is called putting a dead end and then coming back to life.”
“Can’t we do it another way?”
“Da Bao, you have to listen to me. If it escapes today, there’s still tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It has been hiding for seven days. If it comes out as soon as Da Bai leaves, it means that it won’t let us go. Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Remember, if it swallows us, we’ll have hope to live. Cut its belly from the inside and we can still get its crystal. Have you forgotten that it’s blue? Its crystal is blue.”
“Yes, crystals, blue crystals.”
“Yes, think about crystals. So, if we are swallowed, we might not lose, but win.”
“Okay, crystals, crystals.”
Little Treasure saw that Da Bao was talking about crystals and knew that this was his chance. He pulled Da Bai and walked to the front of the black snake. The black snake slowly lowered its head.
The two children were so nervous that their palms were sweating. In fact, Little Treasure was not confident. What if the black snake not only wanted to eat them, but also chewed on them?
“Da Bao, once we enter its mouth, we will rush in. Its mouth is so big, and its long body is straight. Once it slips, we will slip down. Don’t let it bite us.”
“Ah? It’ll bite us? I’m scared.”
Little Treasure looked at Da Bao who had started to admit defeat. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have added this sentence. However, he thought about it and added,”If we slide down from its mouth, we’ll find crystals in its stomach. It’s very easy.”
“Ah? We’ll find crystals by sliding down?”
“Yes, we’ll find crystals by sliding down.”
“Okay, slide, slide.”
“Remember to hold your breath. I remember that you can hold your breath for more than a minute. Hurry up.”
“Okay, use the dagger if you want to slide to the end. Remember, find crystals, find crystals.”
“Let’s go.”
The big black snake’s dark eyes were filled with undisguised contempt. However, they did not expect that the big black snake would not eat them immediately. Instead, it suddenly raised its head to the sky again and let out a low hissing sound. However, it was exceptionally ear-piercing in the forest at night.
Soon after, in less than half a minute, many wild beasts started running over from the surroundings.
All of their plans were instantly disrupted. What was going on?
Why were these wild beasts here?
Wolves, tigers, lions, leopards, and even tyrannosaurs. There were also other animals that were extremely aggressive. Why were these animals suddenly here?
“Why are they all here? What should we do? What’s going on?”
Little Treasure looked at these animals that suddenly came. Not a single one of them ran out to eat them. Instead, they all formed a huge circle. This situation completely confused them.
“The magical beasts have advanced. Did they treat us as magical beasts?”
“Ah? We’re fighting the big black snake? Is that so?”
“Yes, or else they wouldn’t not attack us. The big black snake must be crazy.”
“But, but we’re not magical beasts? We don’t have crystals either. Why would they want us to level up?”
Little Treasure was also thinking about this question. This was the first time he had seen so clearly the magical beasts around them that were much bigger than them.
It turned out that watching from a distance was so clear and straightforward. The claws of any random magical beast could easily crush them.
Would they really be fine tonight? He was suddenly not so sure?
“No, we have crystals. Did you bring the crystal of the big wolf with you?”
“Yes, I did. I was afraid of losing it, so I brought it with me.”
Da Bao patted her bag. Wasn’t that white crystal in her bag?
Little Treasure understood now. He said to Da Bao,”They must think that we are magical beasts with white crystals. This is a magical beast challenging the blue crystal. Is it the big black snake?”
“The big black snake is too shameless. It was clearly blocking us and forcing us to challenge it.”
“The world of magical beasts doesn’t care about that. You saw so many magical beasts coming, more than what you saw that night. They were probably watching us die. White challenging blue, with a yellow in the middle.”
“In the future, if I manage to hunt red crystals, I will bring them with me every day. I want to see who dares to challenge me.”
Da Bao was quite smart. She knew that in this world of magical beasts, the level was determined by the crystals.
“Chi chi –”
The big black snake called out twice. Little Treasure knew that all the magical beasts had arrived. The real competition was about to begin.
“Da Bao, we have its blue crystal, so we can turn blue. Don’t be afraid. Have you forgotten what we saw last time? As long as we win, they won’t do anything to us, so we must win.”
“Yeah, I know. We have to win. We have to get into its stomach. We have to get the crystal…”
After Da Bao finished speaking, she even rushed toward the big black snake. Little Treasure’s reaction was too slow to catch up. Sometimes, Da Bao, can you not be so precise…
