NOVPUBBut this calm probably lasted only for the duration of an incense stick, Xiao Buli saw a few zombies cleaning up the battlefield, giving the still struggling serpent demons a final blow, particularly in front of the green-hooded creatures. Most of the serpent demons had not yet expired, with a dozen or so grotesque behemoths gathered on the land stained green.
Suddenly, Xiao Buli felt a harsh hissing sound ringing in his ears. Without thinking, he looked towards the source of the sound and saw an older-looking serpent demon with its mouth wide open, hissing and screaming at the entrance of the cavern he had entered before. Meanwhile, around Xiao Buli, the twenty or so serpent demons that had been in the cave without him noticing had now descended and were nownverging around theuple dozen stone statues closest to the cave entrance. The massive hissing sound that Xiao Buli heard was the result of theirmbined screams, leaving Xiao Buli momentarily puzzled. Judging by the actions of these serpent demons, it didn’t seem like they intended to fight to the death. Could it be that they were using their voices to warn him?
However, at a time when all the serpent demons had been killed? It was too laughable. Because his True Yuan was so low, Xiao Buli didn’t rush to get up and slay them. Instead, he sat on the ground, watching for changes, not believing that these sluggish serpent demonsuld change the oume of the battle.
Suddenly, the serpent demons raised their sharp claws and plunged them into their own throats.
A mass suicide? Howuld they lack so much fighting spirit? Xiao Buli wondered in his heart. But the next snd, he shouted in alarm, "Not good."
Xiao Buli suddenly realized that the bizarre actions of these serpent demons were all too reminiscent of a ritual, a sacrificial ritual, and they themselves were the offerings. He quickly directed the zombies to disrupt the ritual, but it was already one step too late.
As the blood from these serpent demons flowed onto the ground beneath the statues, a huge magic formation suddenly appeared on the ground, followed by a rising blood-red light curtain.
Xiao Buli suddenly heard a strange voice in his ears, which sounded somewhat like a deaf person speaking, that odd pronunciation. Because a deaf person cannot hear their own voice, even if they know how to pronounce words, the output sounds weird to others’ ears. At this moment, Xiao Buli felt as if he was hearing such a voice.
He struggled to discern the message beingnveyed by the voice.
"Unforgivable, you have harmed the great children of the Snake God, harmed the descendants of the Barbarian Wilderness. You will be cursed by the true god Amara and receive punishment. Stretch out your hands, prepare to receive the Snake God’s punishment, stretch out your neck, get ready for the slaughtering blade. Your flesh and blood will stain the land and forests red, and your soul will undergo the wrathful punishment of the true god Amara, perpetually feeling the agony of hellfire."
That lengthy and obscure speech took quite a bit of effort for Xiao Buli to understand somewhat. However, having played many games, Xiao Buli figured that regardless of what the speech was saying, the oume would be a fight. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
This realization sent Xiao Buli’s spirits crashing to the bottom. If it had been his heyday, no matter whether he had triggered an instance or something else entirely, he would have had thenfidence to give it his all. But now, looking at himself, with only a few True Origin Points remaining, less than half of his zombies were capable of realmbat, and his most reliable pet was still missing, apparently not planning to reemerge anytime soon.
But events seemed to be at odds with his will. While Xiao Buli was at a loss, the array had already activated. The statues in front of the serpent demons moved—were the statues alive?
The first thought in Xiao Buli’s mind was,uld these statues be alive? Based on the stone statue guards and the stone Divine Dragon from the Immortal Realm, it was not difficult for Xiao Buli to make this guess. But upon closer inspection, Xiao Buli’s heart sank. The statues seemed to be moving not of their own volition but due to the vines beneath their pedestals. With the activation of the array, the vines suddenly thickened, theirlor changing from the earlier verdant green to a dark greenish-brown.
If it were just the vines, Xiao Buli might not need to worry too much; after all, he had clashed with these vines upon arriving at this place, and their lethality was not that frightening.
Having reassured himself, Xiao Buli didn’t get up butntinued to sit in meditation, hoping to seize every moment to rver his strength. Ofurse, heuld eat something to rver, but having trekked through the primitive forest for days on end, Xiao Buli’s food supply was nearly exhausted, and he had no intention of eating the uncanny serpent demons. So he decided to keep sitting still and let the zombies go up to deal with the situation first.
While he was planning this, the zombies had already charged forward. Although they had failed to prevent the activation of the array, fighting with the vines was still necessary.
The zombies swung their claws at the vines. The vines, which had previously just been wrapped around the approximately three-meter-tall statues, suddenly grew explosively, shooting up to about ten meters in height. The statues were pushed aside without exception, and the Iron Corpses, which had been about to attack, clearly didn’t realize what was happening and looked up stupidly at the plants now towering several times their height.
However, the vines, thick as barrels, were clearly different from the ones Xiao Buli had seen before. The vines bent their branches lightly and nimbly wrapped around the leg of an Iron Corpse, another vine looping around its arm and head. With a tug from both sides, the Iron Corpse instantly turned into a puff of black smoke, vanishing into the fine rain that filled the air.(To bentinued.
