#1947 - New bodyguard

The so-called mortals do not only refer to humans. There are many races other than humans in the multiverse.

And when we talk about intelligent creatures, they are not just mortals.

The Sista are very intelligent creatures, their average intelligence is actually higher than that of humans. They have their own culture, writing and language.

But after all, Sista looks like a two-headed snake, so it is unlikely that it can use tools, otherwise it might have developed its own civilization.

This two-headed snake looks ferocious and is indeed brutal in actual combat, but there are actually very few cases of Sista injuring people. It is even less threatening to ships than the narwhal, which is known as the most docile monster in the sea.

Generally speaking, as long as you provoke it, Sista will definitely not hit you, because Sista is smart and it knows that if it hurts these people, it will attract stronger people, and that would be counterproductive.

There is only one way to face off against Sista, and that is to try to cross the area Sista is guarding.

Sistas instinctively like to serve as guards over ruins or other important places, which is related to their origins.

The Sista is a race created by the water element. They were originally created as guards, but later the water element gradually disappeared from the material plane, and the Sista became free. However, the instinct in their blood still makes them particularly like to exist as guards.

The same went for this Sista. It told Li Chengxi that it was guarding an underwater ruin at the bottom of the sea. It was sleeping soundly when it suddenly ran here.

At first, I thought Alyssa and the others had used some means of teleportation to summon it.

This situation is not uncommon, and Xista often responds to the wizard's call.

So after I calmed down, my first reaction was to come over and ask, why did you call me over? If nothing happened, send me back quickly.

——As a result, he was shot in the face by various energy beams.

Xista was also confused. What's going on? Didn't you summon me? Why are you hitting me?

This was actually a misunderstanding. As soon as Li Chengxi told it, Xista understood.

The reason why it is so obedient is that Sista will obey a more powerful being.

It cannot be tamed, but the Sista itself is a created race that will obey the orders of powerful beings such as gods and outlanders.

So once Li Chengxi said that, it would eliminate the hostility.

Alyssa was relieved after hearing the explanation. If possible, she didn’t want to have a head-on conflict with such a big monster.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengxi said to Alyssa in the headset:

"It wants to follow you. It may be attracted by my divinity."

Sista's duty of guarding is as instinctive as the attraction of treasure to dragons.

It longed to be driven by a more powerful existence, especially to be asked to guard the gate, which made it happier than anything else.

Alyssa swallowed:

"Are you sure it won't go crazy?"

"It shouldn't happen. Xista is very smart. It should be safer with it. Don't worry. I will see if there is a chance to send it back after I find the space priesthood."

Before he finished speaking, Sista slowly approached and pushed the boat with his two heads, as if he was helping and showing goodwill.

Although I'm still a little worried, if I refuse, it will be very troublesome if Sista goes crazy.

Okay, that's it.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

With the help of Sista, everyone no longer had to row. It used its two heads to push the five boats that Alyssa and the others were riding on in turn. The last bit of distance was reached in less than five minutes.

Everyone quickly jumped from the boat to the shore, especially when they felt Sista's breath coming from behind, even through the protective clothing, everyone got goose bumps.

Then Sista followed and climbed ashore.

This monster is amphibious and can adapt to any environment that is not as dry as the desert.

Only when it came up could everyone see its full appearance.

It already seemed huge when I was in the water, and when I got ashore I discovered that this thing was ten meters long from head to tail, in a Y-shaped, forked neck. The scales in the middle looked like a human face screaming in pain. It was indeed a monster that you could tell was not easy to mess with just by looking at its appearance.

But Li Chengxi said it was safe and even made a holy emblem for it using a piece of metal plate from the floor.

Watching the giant snake lower its head and happily put the holy emblem around one of its necks, Alyssa always had a sense of unreality.

In fact, it is normal. For Sista, it is now a regular employee, so it must be happy.

No one dared to get close to it, but Sanafia was an exception. She still rode on Benben's shoulders and reached out to touch Sista's head curiously.

And Sista was happy to let her touch her, because Sanafia was a replica of an ancient elf and was from the same era as Sista, which might have made it feel familiar.

What the hell, I actually saw a ghostly expression on the face of this snake. It felt like a big golden retriever of a family member leaning forward to look at me.

Forget it, let’s ignore it for now.

Although Li Chengxi does things his own way, he is still reliable. It's just that the process is a bit confusing, so he is still somewhat credible.

Alyssa lit up her personal terminal and looked at the photo of the map.

Now, they need to find something nearby that can lock onto their current location and confirm where they are on the map.

After all, the lake was quite large, and Alyssa was not sure where she would land.

Looking ahead at the place where everyone went ashore, one could see a small open space. This was supposed to be a cabin structure, but all the cabins and equipment had been dismantled, leaving only some traces of something being fixed on the floor.

Looking further away, she could see seven or eight doorways with even the door panels removed. Alyssa wanted to move forward and have a look. She couldn't determine her exact current location based on these things alone.

At this moment, Lieutenant Dui, who was on guard a little ahead, suddenly said:

"Boss, I heard footsteps!"

“Prepare for battle!”

Kevin said that there was also a tribe on the other side of the lake, but this tribe was not very friendly and often came to cause trouble.

At this time, everyone didn't care about the two-headed snake breathing behind them. They immediately set up a shooting formation and aimed at the doorway not far away.

A few seconds later, everyone heard the sound of dense footsteps, and it sounded like there were quite a lot of people.

But after a while, everyone found that the footsteps did not get closer, but they did not disappear either. In addition, there were also some roars and screams.

"It seems that there is a fight between the savages?"

Kevin didn't mention this situation.

Alyssa then gestured to Lieutenant Dui, who nodded to show that he understood, and immediately took a few people to approach the doorway where the sound came from.

He looked over there for a moment, then said in the communication channel:

"Boss, there are a lot of savages behind here who seem to be having a conflict. They are not coming towards us."
