Chapter 509 The Salvation of the Xiaoshen Snake
"Woo..."
The pitiful screams of snakes suddenly echoed from the bottom of the dark cave, filled with extreme anger and unwillingness.
"Finally, it's over..."
The batterer lay limp in the barrier like a noodle, his face was bloodless, only the bloodstains at the corners of his eyes and in front of his nose were clearly visible.
"I'm careless, I knew it would be so intense, I should have prepared more..." The beater smiled weakly.
"Don't talk anymore..." Tina looked at him eagerly and distressed, waving her hands again and again, and kept blessing him.
"Now that the sealing tool snake is over, can he come out?" Tina looked at the others halfway and asked.
"I'm saying goodbye so soon... Tsk tsk, don't say it, I have been chatting with Xiaoba every day for so many years, and now I suddenly have to separate, I feel a little lonely when I think about it..." At this time, the watchman regained some strength and sat down from the ground. Standing up, looking at the darkness above his head, he showed a somewhat sad expression.
"If you don't want to give up, you can stay here." The herb collector suddenly sneered.
"Hey, I'm just kidding... Well, I'm really at my limit, let me go, please..." The watchman immediately admitted his cowardice.
One bout of strength and then three failures. Before Mu You didn't come, he could still hang on with one breath. Now that he has relaxed a wave, it is almost impossible to gather the previous willpower.
"No matter what, it's finally done..."
The manticore's huge body sat down on the ground, recalling the feeling of being surrounded by snake eyes just now, he still has lingering fears.
"Hehe, it's just such a small scene that scares you into paralysis?" The bone dragon next to him immediately seized the opportunity to laugh, and by the way boasted about his achievements in the past: "I think all the dragons in the Dragon Valley have personally resisted the attack of the Yanniu back then. After resisting it for hundreds of years, it still didn't let it invade Dragon Valley for half a step, and in the end even the Flame Bull had no choice but to retreat..."
Manticore looked at Bone Dragon disdainfully upon hearing this, and sneered, "Before you talk big, can you hide your trembling paw first?"
Watching the bickering between the two beasts, Mu You smiled slightly, feeling relieved in his heart.
I have to say that the action just now was really thrilling. If Gu Snake's resistance was more intense and interfered with his actions a little bit, causing the holy spear to stab slightly, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, the power of the snake is now in a period of decline. If it were carried out four thousand years ago, the seal would most likely fail.
"Thrilling..."
"Is it just a thrill?"
Deng Shen frowned when he heard Mu You's emotion.
"What?" Mu You looked at him in puzzlement.
"I don't know what's going on, I always feel that it shouldn't be so simple..." The lamp **** frowned and looked at the holy spear in the distance, his eyes were a little dignified: "After all, this is that snake, even if it is in the period of weakening power..."
Gods like him who have personally faced snakes in their heyday know very well what the concept of Scourge Beasts is. All God Race people have a deep-seated fear of the four Scourge Beasts.
Therefore, even though it is now the weak period of the snake, even with the seal of the special place, coupled with the suppression of the watchman, the power is greatly dispersed to the goblin and other heavy suppression, the lamp **** still feels that the snake can burst out enough to cause them to lose their troops. Even if the seal is successful in the end, they will inevitably be exhausted, and even the end of many people will be reduced.
The process just now seemed thrilling, but in fact, the snakes did not break out any overly violent resistance throughout the whole process. They didn't even force out a wound on the surface, which made the lamp **** feel very unreal.
With a snake, is it really so weak?
Or…
"Boom..."
Before the lamp **** could figure it out, a violent vibration rose from under the feet of everyone out of thin air.
Not only the ground, but all the mountains in the entire dark cave suddenly began to shake.
"Huh? An earthquake?" Dagen, who was about to walk out of the barrier, was surprised.
"At this time..." Mu You frowned, and combined with the words of the lamp **** just now, he already had a bad feeling.
At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange movement in the ring, reached out and wiped it, and took out a stone plate, which was the twin stones Linglong gave him.
At this moment, a line of writing has appeared on the stone plate.
"What did you guys do?!"
"What's wrong?" Mu You hurriedly engraved and asked.
"The goblins suddenly rioted just now!"
…
At this moment in the Rose City Palace, Linglong stood firmly on the top of the tallest spire nearby, looking at the chaotic city that was on fire everywhere below, she frowned.
Beside her, a flower and plant fairy in green clothes and green wings was holding her head, her face full of pain.
"What the **** happened? Yili-chan?" Linglong asked.
"I received a message... A picture was conveyed in the minds of all the goblins just now..." Isabelle said with pain.
"What picture?"
"The Lord of Calamity...the picture of cutting the Fairy King into pieces..." Isabelle's face became more and more painful, and black air gradually began to flow from her body.
"this…"
Linglong was surprised after hearing this.
The Lord of Calamity killed the Goblin King. That happened four thousand years ago at the bottom of the dark cave. At that time, there were only three clones of them, Tina and Gargamel, and Tina and Gargamel were already in a coma. past.
That is to say, the witnesses of this matter are only the three of them, and how could the three of them spread the matter... Wait!
Linglong suddenly realized something. They were not the only ones present at the time, there was another one: a snake!
Did Gu Snake pass the picture to all the fairies?
It’s not impossible, after all, the snake tail is the bitter mother tree, the root of all goblins, and it’s not surprising that there is some kind of connection between the mother tree and goblins.
In addition, the main body and the others should have been sealing the snake just now, and the snake probably spread this information through the tail of the snake just during the short interval when the sealing gun was pulled out!
Wanting to understand everything, Linglong couldn't help but smile wryly.
The deal is done, now it is not important to consider how the news spread, the key is the impact of this matter.
At this time, she had already heard the shouts from below. Many goblins and a few human residents were rushing towards the palace angrily, intending to storm the gate.
As the flow of people approached, she quickly recognized what the goblins were shouting.
"The fool is the enemy!"
"The Fool is using us to kill each other for so many years..."
"Kill those fools, avenge the king! Avenge the dead compatriots!"
…
As expected, the goblins are not only attacking the Lord of Calamity, but all the fools. This is no wonder, after all, all three of their avatars were present in the picture at that time, and they were obviously in the same group.
You must know that the establishment of the three goblin kingdoms is entirely based on the personal worship of the three kings. After fighting for the three kings for so many years, it is now revealed that the three kings are in a gang and jointly killed the goblins. Things like Wang's immediately collapsed the faith of all the goblins, and almost all of them entered a half-black state.
As for the humans in the Garden of Bitterness, most of them haven't figured out what happened, but there are also a small number of people who have joined the army of crusade against the Fool, and the proportion is rapidly expanding.
"Master Linglong, is this...really?" Isabelle looked at Linglong with a painful expression, but there was still a glint of expectation in her eyes, hoping for a negative answer.
"It's true, but..."
Linglong wanted to explain, but opened her mouth, but found nothing to say.
Even if they had various reasons at the time, it was always true that they killed the Fairy King.
This alone is enough to make the goblins' trust in them collapse.
Once the goblins drop to a certain number, the snake can regain its strength, and can remove the sealing gun by itself, and then get out of trouble.
Linglong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. No wonder Gu Snake was called by the Protoss the natural disaster beast best at instigating wars. This kind of trick to sow dissension has long become an instinct like eating and drinking, and it is easy to come by.
Isabelle was still looking forward to Linglong's answer, but Linglong's silence already explained everything.
The last glimmer of hope in Isabelle's eyes was also extinguished, her eyes were filled with tears of grievance, her fists were clenched tightly, and she finally turned around sadly.
"Run, I won't reveal your location to them..."
"Eli-chan..." Linglong looked at her contracted fairy with distress, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to her.
The green goblin hurriedly flapped its wings to avoid it, wiped away its tears, and flew away from the top of the tower without looking back.
"well…"
Linglong sighed, and could only watch her go away.
At this time, there was a sudden movement on the stone slab in her hand, Linglong hurriedly lifted it up and saw that there was an extra line of words on the twin stones.
"Remember what I told you? The location is just north of the entrance to the dark cave, under the silver fruit tree ten miles away."
Linglong was taken aback for a moment, and she confirmed the tone in a second: it is definitely that dead face!
As for the 'that incident' he said, Linglong also has an impression.
It was shortly after the Catastrophe Period, when the herb collectors invented the sweet potion formula, and collected the blood of true love. In the following hundreds of years, they produced large quantities of sweet potions, but they didn't ask the goblins for help. Instead of distributing them, they stored all the potions, saying that they were to be used as strategic reserves.
And right now, it is undoubtedly the time when these potions are most needed!
"This dead face, did you expect this kind of thing to happen at that time?" Linglong was a little surprised, but she didn't have time to think about it, she hurried back to the palace, found the little spider Gargamel and the others, and set off immediately He rushed to the place written on the stone plate.
…
"You expected it?"
At the bottom of the dark cave, Mu You looked at the writing on the stone plate just carved by the herbal picker, and looked at him strangely.
Synchronized the memory of the herb collectors. Of course, he knew that the herb collectors had silently stored thousands of bottles of sweet potions over the years, all stored in one place.
While watching the memories, he still wondered why he had to go through such painstaking and thankless preparations? Who would have thought that it would actually come in handy now!
"When I'm planning things, I'm not used to pinning my hopes on other people besides me." The herb collector said blankly.
Mu You was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly. What he meant was that even the watchman and Linglong were listed as imaginary suspects, and even the possibility of their two betrayals was taken into consideration.
"Let Linglong handle the above matters. We have many problems here."
The herbal picker said, looking in a certain direction in the distance.
In the open space over there, the medicine basket and iron cage he brought just now were placed, and at this moment, the dark cave beast that was locked in the cage suddenly seemed to go crazy, and began to crazily hit and beat the cage. .
"Sure enough, it has begun..." the herb collector said solemnly.
"Start what?" Mu You frowned.
The herbal picker did not answer, but took out a short metal stick from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
Mu You had never seen this thing before, but he still found information about it from the memory of Linglong and the herb picker: Archiver!
"Lights on! Maximum power!"
The herbal picker suddenly shouted in the direction of the barrier.
The watchman who was still in the barrier was taken aback for a moment, but he also saw the urgency of the herb picker, so he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly controlled the light of the barrier with all his strength, shining in all directions.
Under full force, the dazzling beam of light suddenly reflected nearly a thousand meters away to the surroundings, illuminating the bottom of the dark cave as bright as day.
Everyone looked up instinctively, but when they saw it, they all gasped.
I saw countless dark cave creatures climbing on the surrounding rock walls above their heads at this time, rushing towards the ground at high speed, densely packed, at least hundreds of thousands of them!
"Be careful, you guys!" The beater was shocked.
Everyone hastily took out their weapons and prepared to meet the enemy.
These dark cave beasts are not considered strong, but no matter how weak they are, once they are multiplied by such terrifying numbers, they will become a disaster in an instant!
Everyone is ready for a fierce battle.
However, soon, the dark cave beasts landed one after another, falling straight down like a raging black waterfall, but the target was not them, but a snake!
Countless dark creatures washed over the surface of the snake like splashed ink, filling the entire underground almost instantly.
Everyone drew their swords and looked around in a daze, unable to figure out what the situation was for a while.
"Wait, no!"
At this moment, the watchman suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" the lamp **** asked hurriedly.
"The snake seems to have escaped!"
"What?" The lamp **** turned pale with shock, and hurriedly looked towards the holy gun.
However, the holy spear still stood firmly in place, motionless like a mountain, and the snake underneath was also suppressed safely, showing no sign of getting out of trouble.
"It's not the snake's body, it's its soul... Just now, a large part of the snake's consciousness disappeared!" The watchman was sweating on his forehead and his heart was beating wildly, and he already had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
He is directly connected to the will of the snake, and he has the clearest perception of this connection. He can be sure that the part of consciousness that disappeared has completely escaped from the current body of the snake!
"Xiaoba, what did you do?" the watchman hurriedly asked subconsciously.
"What did I do? Hehe, didn't you teach me?" The voice of Gu Snake sneered: "The way of salvation lies in it!"
"ah…"
The watchman was taken aback for a moment, and immediately recalled the past.
After he became the caretaker, he and Gu Snake hurt each other spiritually every day. Although he never gave in, he was really tossed by Gu Snake enough, and there was no time to sleep peacefully every day.
Until one day a few years later, out of boredom, the beater accidentally told Gu Snake about the movie "The Shawshank Redemption".
The amazing thing is that since that day, Gu Snake no longer tortured him mentally 24 hours a day, but would set aside an hour every day as a 'truce time', so that both parties could take a good rest.
The caller didn't think much about it, he just thought that even Gu Snake was terribly harassed by his chatter and offensive, and had to set aside a little quiet time for himself every day.
Until this time, after most of Gu Snake's consciousness escaped, the remaining will could no longer resist his exploration, and finally exposed some deeply hidden memories.
It was from these memories that Da Geng found out in horror that Gu Snake had been secretly planning a 'prison break' all these years!
I don’t know from which day, Gu Snake suddenly discovered that the seal of the Holy Lance had been loosened to the point where it could slowly shed its skin!
Although it can only shed a piece of snake skin the size of gravel every day, it cannot carry its will at all, but as long as there is enough time to accumulate, sooner or later it will be able to accumulate to the point where it can carry its thoughts!
And its will + its snake skin can be equivalent to one of its incarnations! It doesn't matter even if this avatar is weak, it is the incarnation of natural disasters, as long as it can escape from here, go out and absorb negative emotions, it will grow up soon, and then come back and pull out the holy gun to save the body!
It's just that this matter must be done in absolute secrecy, because the snake scales it casts off are too fragile before they take shape, and these people can be wiped out with a single blow.
And it is always connected with the will of the watchman. Once it has the slightest intention of escaping from prison, the watchman can immediately notice it and interrupt its plan.
That's why Gu Snake has been mentally harassing the watchman every day these years, just to make him exhausted, and at the same time set aside an hour of rest, so that the watchman has to seize this hour to sleep.
Only in this one-hour sleep state will the guardian's spiritual connection be slightly relaxed. This is also a rare free time for the snake. It can secretly carry out its molt plan, but it also needs to be careful. If a person shows signs of waking up, he must stop immediately, and even eliminate all thoughts about escape from his consciousness.
In this way, the snake carefully sloughed off a trace of snake scales the size of gravel every day. It persisted for four thousand years, and finally gathered sand into a tower, condensing a piece of snake skin large enough to carry most of its will to escape from this place!
When the watchman saw these hidden memories of Gu Snake, he was stunned: "Fuck, I tell you a story to make you reform, to be a good snake, and to realize self-salvation, not to let you escape from prison like others!"
