Chapter 84 - 83: Snake Valley Plantation (Please follow and support!)_1
A place where tribe-level monsters gather often has a type of totem culture.
This kind of totem belief seems to have an incredible power in higher-level tribes, but in the primary tribes it is just considered as a type of art culture. …Probably.
The gigantic snake totem was pretty rough in construction. The main body was a gigantic tree trunk that stood two to three tens of meters tall, which turned into a humanoid giant snake looking down carving under the trimming of the snake-man’s scimitar.
Its modality wasn’t ordinary. It could best be said that the artistic cells of the snake-men were poor, even the eyes of the Giant Snake were carved disproportionately, with a significant size difference between the two.
However, at this moment, through the pervasive dust, Mu Yuan clearly saw the snake-men’s blood on the ground converging towards the Giant Snake Totem, almost forming little streams, and a faint blood light also diffused over the wooden giant snake sculpture.
I knew it couldn’t be this easy!
‘Xuan Country curse’!
Upon his notification, General Dead Bone immediately spread his pale and ragged, yet shrouded by a grim black mist, Bone Wings. He ascended into the air, bypassing many pairs of red-eyed snake-man warriors, split apart a huge fireball flying in from afar, and his body then steamed with a burning black mist.
Dead Bone continued to build up strength. When he flew close to the Giant Snake Totem, the black mist around his body suddenly infused into his sword, rapidly drawing out a dark sword light, and fiercely chopped down at the giant totem.
The blood light split apart like water, but at the next moment, an even more intense blood-colored light burst forth, melting the black sword light.
Within the radiant blood-colored light, a suffocating and extremely oppressive aura spread around the snake totem.
Ten meters, a hundred meters, several hundred meters.
Within the tribe, each snake-man warrior took up their scimitar against themselves, sliced open their chests allowing their fresh blood to spill out, fly and sprinkle towards the distant totem.
Outside the tribe, dark clouds blocked the sunlight, the air was filled with a dull smell, and even the aquatic plants on the swamp ground seemed to gradually bend down.
At the same time, on the Giant Wooden Totem, which was a sacrifice of a large number of snake-men, the blood light became increasingly glaring, as if viscous blood was surging upon it, and this originally inanimate totem was gradually coming to life, revealing the true body of the gigantic snake!
It’s reviving! It’s descending! It’s transforming!
If this were a game, this would be the cutscene when the big BOSS appears amidst frantic, shocking, and oppressive music! The player has to wait until the BOSS’ appearance is fully revealed, regardless of how impatient they are. But, the Eternal Continent is a real place.
The transformation process can’t truly be invincible, at most one’s own output is just insufficient!
“Use that!”
Dead Bone also thought of it, the God Monster Crystal Lamp, one of the trump cards of the territory, was handed to it by the Lord before setting off.
He took it out of his storage ring, and quickly rubbed this already cleaned, as good as new, crystal lamp three times.
In the blink of an eye, faint blue smoke wafted out of the pot mouth, forming a soldier-like form, whose body seemed to be made of elemental particles. The upper body was humanoid, the lower body resembled a cyclone.
‘God Monster (Rare ★★★): Second-Order Ninth-Level’
A LV29 Elite Pinnacle Master!
Upon receiving the command, it flew up with a swish and arrived above the Giant Snake Totem. Its strong arms swung out continuously, leaving a trail of afterimages. More so, its arms were wrapped in sparks of thunderbolt.
In the blink of an eye, the God Monster sent out countless thunderbolt punches that Mu Yuan couldn’t count or see clearly. The punches continuously bombarded the top of the Giant Snake Totem.
There was no deafening boom, but the viscous blood light on the giant snake totem was noticeably fading at a noticeable speed.
The slightly revived Giant Snake opened its mouth slightly and let out an angry hiss, “I am the snake…”
Its voice was quite peculiar. Even though it was not any language familiar to
Mu Yuan, the meaning came through clearly in his ears.
However, he wasn’t listening, the moment Dead Bone rubbed the crystal lamp, and when the rest of the snake-men tribe fell when harvested by the totem, he had already commanded all units to take the chance to charge.
Especially the Skeleton Warriors and the ghosts serving as concealed backup energy supplies!
Dead Bone didn’t listen either.
An invisible aura of death drifted from all around and flowed into his body.
Undead energy visible to the naked eye surged from the Skeleton Warriors and ghosts, converging on General Dead Bone like rivers returning to the sea.
The black fog was billowing!
General Dead Bone landed back on the ground, digging deep into it. Holding the energy-brimming, trembling sword, he moved forward one step, two steps, three steps, and unleashed a sword light dozens of meters long.
The black storm surged up dozens of meters high, uncovering layer upon layer of the earth’s crust, shattered the red light from the totem pillar, and eradicated it inch by inch.
Only the Orochi, with its mouth wide open, was left behind with its roar echoing between heaven and earth.
■Ding!’
‘Hint: Your hero General Dead Bone broke the resurrection of the blood totem, do you want to destroy it completely?’
‘Hint: Only lords or heroes possessing the Purification Power can truly destroy totems.'”
Looking at the base still standing solid under the scouring of the undead energy, General Dead Bone gently walked up and extended his finger bones to touch it.
Boom
The purifying light broke through the sky.
“Indeed it was dangerous, this snake man tribe has some abilities.”
The clouds gradually dissipated, and the warm sunshine sprinkled inside the snake man tribe, oddly contrasting with the undead creatures wandering the streets.
General Dead Bone was still purifying the base of the totem, which took some time.
Thanks to the harvest of sacrifices when the Orochi woke up, more than half of the ordinary snake men had died outright, their bodies dried up without a drop of blood.
The good news is that his troops can save the not-so-easy task of clearing.
But the bad news…
These sacrificed snake corpses, not only couldn’t squeeze out a drop of blood, but couldn’t squeeze out any Soul Sand or Remnant Souls either.
“Dammit!”
“Gurgle gurgle-!”
With his hands on his waist, Captain Duo Lai nodded repeatedly. This Orochi definitely had a death wish, it made his black list.
But apart from these sacrificed snakes, the Soul Sand torn from the remaining snake-man monsters was not few. Inside the vast snake man tribe, there were also many treasures waiting for him, the great Lord Shepherd, to rescue.
As Captain Duo Lai couldn’t wait to begin treasure-hunting.
Mu Yuan was also controlling Hurricane War Hawks, flying freely within the tribe, taking in the panorama of the earth.
“There is no trace of the snake men left.”
Battling towards the end, the snake men, with red-rimmed eyes, threw themselves one after another. By the time the Orochi awoke, all of the snake men committed suicide.
At the back of the snake man tribe, near the position of the hills, there grew a special fruit forest.
“If I’m not mistaken, these are Snake Scale Fruits.”
This fruit can be eaten directly to enhance physical fitness, and can also be used as the main or auxiliary material for potions. It has a wide range of uses. This Snake Scale Fruit Forest seemed quite large.
In the center of the fruit forest, on several taller fruit trees, Mu Yuan even found the rare treasure ‘Snake Blood Fruit’ through the Battle Falcon’s vision. This fruit can significantly enhance a player’s physical body, is quite popular in the market, and is the main ingredient for the Snake Blood Potion.
The snake men built their tribe here, perhaps because of this fruit forest and the temple in the distance.
There were no snake men in the fruit forest, but there were goblins, kobolds, and cave’s people shackled and whipped.
Ah, have the snake men learned to keep slaves?
