Chapter 509: The Redemption of Xiao Shen Snake
"Woo..."
The whole underground cave suddenly resounded with the screams of snakes, filled with extreme anger and unwillingness.
"Finally, it's over..."
The watchman lay limp in the barrier like a noodle, his face bloodless, only the bloodstains at the corners of his eyes and in front of his nose were clearly visible.
"I was careless. If I had known it would be so intense, I should have made more preparations..." The watchman smiled weakly.
"Stop talking..." Tina looked at him anxiously and distressedly from the side, waving her hands repeatedly and blessing him.
"Now that the sealing of the snake is over, can he come out?" Tina looked at the others midway and asked.
"It's unexpected that we have to say goodbye so soon... Tsk, don't mention it. I have been chatting with Xiaoba every day for so many years, and now we are suddenly separated. It's really lonely when I think about it..." The night watcher recovered some strength at this time, and started from He sat up on the ground and looked at the darkness above his head with a sad expression.
"If you don't want to give up, you can stay here." The herb collector suddenly sneered.
"Ahem, I was just joking... Okay, I've really reached my limit, let me go, please..." The caller immediately gave up.
He was exhausted again and again. When Mu You didn't come, he could still hold on with just one breath. Now that he had relaxed, it was almost impossible to muster the willpower he had before.
"No matter what, we finally got it done..."
The manticore's huge body sat down on the ground, recalling the feeling of being shrouded in snake-like eyes just now, still feeling frightened.
"Geez, just such a small scene scared you to the point of paralysis?" The bone dragon next to him immediately seized the opportunity to laugh, and boasted about his achievements in the past: "I think we dragons in the Dragon Valley once personally resisted the attack of the Yanniu. After resisting for hundreds of years, it still didn't invade the Dragon Valley. In the end, even the Yanniu had no choice but to retreat..."
Upon hearing this, the manticore looked at the bone dragon with disdain and sneered: "Before you talk big, can you hide your trembling claws first?"
Mu You looked at the bickering between the two mythical beasts and smiled slightly, feeling very relieved in his heart.
I have to say that the action just now was indeed thrilling. If Gu Snake's resistance was more fierce and interfered with his actions slightly, causing the holy spear to miss a little, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, the snake's power is declining now. If it had been carried out four thousand years ago, the seal would most likely have failed.
"Thrilling..."
"Is it just thrilling?"
The Deng God couldn't help but frown when he heard Mu You's emotion.
"What?" Mu You looked at him puzzled.
"I don't know what's going on, but I always feel that it shouldn't be so simple..." The Deng God frowned and looked at the holy spear in the distance, his eyes a little solemn: "After all, this is the snake, even if it is in its weak stage... …”
Gods like him, who have personally faced snakes in their heyday, know very well what the concept of natural disaster beasts is. All the gods have a deep-seated fear of the four natural disaster beasts.
Therefore, even though Gu Snake is currently in a period of weakness, even with the seal of a special place, coupled with the suppression of the watcher, the power is greatly dispersed to the goblins and other heavy suppression, the djinn still feels that Gu Snake can explode enough to make them lose their troops. energy, even if the seal is successful in the end, they will definitely be exhausted, or even end up losing many people.
The process just now seemed thrilling, but in fact, Gu She did not break out any fierce resistance throughout the whole process, and they were not even forced out of a visible wound, which made the djinn feel very unreal.
Gu Snake, is he really so weak?
Or……
"Boom..."
Before the djinn could figure it out, a violent vibration rose out of thin air from under everyone's feet.
Not only the ground, but all the mountains in the entire cave suddenly began to shake.
"Huh? There was an earthquake?" The watchman was surprised as he was about to walk out of the barrier.
"At this time..." Mu You frowned, and combined with the words of the Djinn God just now, he already had a bad premonition.
At this moment, he suddenly felt something strange coming from the ring. He stretched out his hand and took out a stone plate, which was the twin stones given to him by Linglong.
At this moment, a line of words appeared on the stone plate.
"What did you do?!"
"What's wrong?" Mu You hurriedly 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, frowning as she looked at the city that was on fire and in chaos below.
Beside her, a green-clad and green-winged flower fairy was holding her head with a look of pain on her face.
"What happened? Yili-chan?" Linglong asked.
"I received a message... A picture was conveyed to all the fairies just now..." Isabelle said while enduring the pain.
"What picture?"
"The Lord of Disaster...the scene of cutting the Goblin King into pieces..." The pain on Isabelle's face became more and more intense, and traces of black energy gradually began to leak out of her body.
"this……"
Linglong was shocked after hearing this.
The Lord of Disaster killed the Goblin King, which 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 unconscious at the time. passed.
In other words, there were only three of them witnesses to this incident, and how could the three of them spread the word... Wait!
Linglong suddenly realized something. They were not the only ones at the scene, there was another one: a snake!
Was it the snake that conveyed the scene to all the fairies?
It's not impossible. After all, the snake's tail is the Bitter Mother Tree, the source of the birth of all fairies. It's not surprising that there is some kind of connection between the mother tree and the fairies.
In addition, the main body and the others should have been sealing the snake just now. The snake probably took advantage of the short pause when the sealing gun was pulled out to spread this message through the snake's tail!
Wanting to understand everything, Linglong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The deal is done, it is no longer important to consider how the news came out, the key is the impact of this incident.
At this time, she had already heard the shouts coming from below. Many fairies and a few human residents were rushing towards the palace angrily, intending to attack the gate.
As the crowd got closer, she quickly recognized what the goblins were shouting.
"The fool is the enemy!"
"The Fool is using us and making us kill each other for so many years..."
"Kill those fools and avenge the king! Avenge the dead compatriots!"
…
As expected, the goblins are not just attacking the Lord of Disaster, but all the Fools. This is no wonder, after all, their three clones were present in the scene at that time, and they were obviously in a group.
You must know that the establishment of the three goblin kingdoms was entirely based on the personal worship of the three kings. After fighting for the three kings for so many years, it was actually revealed that the three kings were in a group and joined forces to kill the goblins. This kind of thing about the king immediately caused all the goblins to collapse in belief, and almost all of them entered a semi-black state.
As for the humans in the Bitter Garden, most of them haven't figured out what happened yet, but there are also a small number of people who have joined the army to defeat the Fool, and the proportion is rapidly expanding.
"Lord Linglong, is this...really?" Isabelle looked at Linglong with a painful expression, but there was still a trace of hope in her eyes, hoping to get a negative answer.
"It's true, but..."
Linglong wanted to explain, but when she opened her mouth, she found that she had nothing to say.
Even if they had various reasons at the time, it was always true that they killed the Goblin King.
This alone was enough to break the goblins' trust in them.
I have to say that Ju Snake's move is really ruthless. He has been hiding it for so many years, and now it suddenly comes out. It not only arouses the hatred of the Fairy Clan against the Fool, but also perfectly backfires on the beliefs that the three of them have built up in the Fairy Clan for so many years. , one wave brought countless fairies to the edge of becoming monstrous.
Once the number of goblins drops to a certain level, the snake will be able to regain its strength and be able to remove the sealing spear on its own and get out of trouble.
Linglong had to sigh, no wonder the snake was called the natural disaster beast by the Protoss that was best at causing wars. This method of sowing dissension has long become an instinct like eating and drinking, and it is easy to pick up.
Isabelle was still looking forward to Linglong's answer, but Linglong's silence said everything.
The last glimmer of hope in Isabelle's eyes was extinguished. Her eyes were filled with tears of grievance, her fists were clenched, and she turned around sadly.
"Run quickly, I won't reveal your location to them..."
"Yili-chan..." Linglong looked at her contracted fairy with distress, and subconsciously wanted to reach out to her.
The green goblin hurriedly fluttered its wings to avoid it, wiped away her 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 moment, there was sudden movement on the stone slab in her hand. Linglong hurriedly raised it and saw that there was an extra line of words on the twin stones.
"Do you still remember what I told you? The location is directly north of the entrance to the dark cave, under the silver fruit tree ten miles away."
Linglong was stunned for a moment. She confirmed this tone in a second: it was definitely that dead face!
As for the ‘thing’ he mentioned, Linglong also had an impression.
It was not long after the Great Disaster that the herb collectors invented the formula for the sweet potion and solicited the blood of true love. In the following hundreds of years, they successively produced large quantities of the sweet potion, but they did not sell it to the fairies. They didn't mean to distribute them, but instead stored all the potions, saying they were to be used as strategic reserves.
And right now, it is undoubtedly the time when these potions are needed most!
"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 at this time. She hurriedly returned to the palace, found the little spider Gargamel and others, and set off immediately He rushed to the location written on the stone plate.
…
"You expected that?"
At the bottom of the dark cave, Mu You looked at the words on the stone plate that had just been carved by the herb collector, and looked at him strangely.
Synchronizing the memory of the herb collector, he certainly knew that over the years, the herb collector had silently stored thousands of bottles of sweet medicine, all stored in one place.
When he was watching the memory, he still wondered why he had to go through such thankless preparations? Who would have thought that it would actually be used now!
"When I'm planning things, I'm not used to placing my hopes on other people besides me." The herb collector said expressionlessly.
Mu You was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly. What he actually meant was that even Dageng and Linglong were listed as imaginary suspects, and even the possibility of betrayal by the two of them was taken into consideration.
"Let Linglong handle the above matters. We have a lot of problems here."
The herb collector said, looking in a certain direction in the distance.
In the open space over there, there were the medicine baskets and iron cages he brought just now. At this time, the Dark Cave Beast that was locked in the cage suddenly seemed to have gone crazy and began to hit and beat the cage crazily. .
"It's really started..." the herb collector said solemnly.
"Start with what?" Mu You frowned.
The herb gatherer 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 memories of Linglong and the herb collector: the archiver!
"Turn on the lights! Maximum power!"
The herb collector suddenly shouted in the direction of the barrier.
The watchman who was still in the barrier was stunned for a moment, but he also saw the urgency of the herb collector. He didn't dare to ask more questions, and hurriedly controlled the light of the barrier with all his strength, shining in all directions.
Under the full force of the movement, the dazzling beam of light suddenly shone nearly a thousand meters to the surrounding area, illuminating the bottom of the dark cave as bright as day.
Everyone looked up instinctively, but when they saw it, they all took a breath.
Above their heads, they saw countless dark cave creatures climbing on the surrounding rock walls and rushing towards the ground at high speeds. They were so densely packed that there were at least hundreds of thousands of them!
"Be careful, you guys!" The watchman was shocked.
Everyone also hurriedly took out their weapons and prepared to face the enemy.
These cave beasts are not strong, but no matter how weak they are, once multiplied by such a terrifying number, they will cause 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. The target was not them, but - a snake!
Countless dark creatures washed over the snake's body like splashing ink, filling the entire underground almost instantly.
Everyone drew their swords and looked around in confusion. They didn't understand what was going on for a moment.
"Wait, that's not right!"
At this time, the watchman suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong?" the lamp god asked hurriedly.
"The snake seems to have escaped!"
"What?" The Deng God was shocked and looked towards the Holy Spear hurriedly.
However, the holy spear still stood firmly in place, motionless as a mountain, and the snake underneath was also suppressed safely, showing no signs of getting out of trouble.
"It's not the snake's body, it's its soul... A large part of the snake's consciousness just disappeared!" The watchman's forehead was sweating, his heart was beating wildly, and he had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
He is directly connected to Gu Snake's will, and he perceives this connection most clearly. He can be sure that the missing part of consciousness has completely escaped Gu Snake's current body!
"Xiaoba, what did you do?" the watcher hurriedly asked in his mind.
"What have I done? Haha, didn't you teach me that?" Ju She's sneer voice sounded: "The way to salvation lies within it!"
"ah……"
The watchman was stunned and immediately recalled the past.
After he became the caretaker, he and Gu She could be said to have hurt each other mentally every day. Although he never gave in, he was really tortured by Gu She and there was no time to sleep peacefully every day.
Until one day a few years later, the watchman was bored and accidentally told Gou She about the movie "The Shawshank Redemption".
Miraculously, after that day, Gu She no longer tortured him mentally 24 hours a day, but would set aside an hour every day as a 'truce time' for both parties to take a rest.
The watcher didn't think much about this, and just assumed that Gu She was suffering from being harassed by his chatter and had to set aside some 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 the watchman was horrified to discover that Gu Snake had been secretly planning a 'prison escape' over the years!
I don't know which day started, but Gu She suddenly discovered that the seal of the Holy Spear had been loosened to the point where his body could slowly shed its skin!
Although only a grain of snake skin the size of gravel can be shed every day, which cannot carry its will at all, but as long as there is enough time to accumulate, sooner or later it can be accumulated to the point where it can carry its thoughts!
And its will + its snake skin can be equivalent to an incarnation of it! Even if this incarnation is weak, it doesn't matter. It is the incarnation of natural disaster. As long as it can escape from here and absorb negative emotions, it will grow up quickly. Then come back to pull out the holy spear and rescue the original body!
However, this must be done absolutely secretly, because the snake scales it sheds are too fragile before they take shape, and these people can kill them with a single blow.
And it is always connected to the will of the watcher. Once it has the slightest intention of escaping from prison, the watcher can immediately detect it and interrupt its plan.
That's why Ju Snake has been mentally harassing the watchman every day for these years, just to exhaust him and at the same time leave an hour of rest time, so that the watchman has to seize this hour to sleep.
Only during this hour of sleep will the guardian's mental connection loosen slightly. This is also a rare free time for the snake. It can secretly carry out its molting plan, but it also needs to be cautious. Once it is updated midway, If a person shows signs of waking up, he should stop immediately and even eliminate all thoughts about prison escape from his consciousness.
In this way, the snake carefully shed a piece of snake scale the size of a gravel every day, and persisted for a full four thousand years. Finally, it gathered sand into a tower and condensed a piece of snake skin large enough to carry most of its will to escape from this place!
The night watchman saw these hidden memories of the snake and was stunned: "Fuck, I tell you stories to make you reform, be a good snake, and achieve self-salvation, not to let you learn how to escape from prison!"
