Chapter 37: The Place of Snakes
In the underground wasteland, there is no alternation of the sun and the moon, and there is no concept of time.
Under the pale dim light, Wang Changle walked against the wind, following Gaia as she ran along the wasteland valley toward the shadow side surrounded by mountains.
After running for a long time, the two of them stopped.
"Mr. Aude, the danger in this Snake Valley is not as dangerous as Enzo's... Well, here is the Snake Valley you are looking for."
Gaia pointed at the deep, silent abyss ahead. Everything was submerged in endless darkness, and no trace of the scene could be seen.
"Just send it here, this is the moon wine promised to you!"
Wang Changle walked to the shadow side, followed the black hooves in the dark, and quickly sank into his chest.
Wang Changle changed his hand and threw the half-gourd of moon wine, and jumped into the abyss.
"Er, he is so brave, but which unspeakable general is he?"
Gaia spread her hands after hearing this, but did not leave immediately, as if she was expecting something.
……….
The abyss of snake bones.
Wang Changle, who jumped in, was naturally not fearless and brave.
Controlling the mountain wind, he immediately activated his 'invisibility', the blood flashed, and his body disappeared into the darkness.
It was just this feeling of burning blood all over his body that made Wang Changle twitch in pain!
Wang Changle, who was hiding in the shadows, controlled his body to slowly descend, carefully bypassing the sleeping Rock Mountain Python.
This rocky mountain python is the gatekeeper of Snake Valley. According to the literature of the Womi people, it is an existence that feeds on the mountains and is also one of their patron saints.
The huge body was thousands of meters long just exposed to Wang Changle's field of vision, while more bodies were hidden in the darkness.
The body covered with fine stone scales was scattered with remains, many of which were from ancient leather giants and demons, and even more were white bones of unknown species.
"Boom~"
Wang Changle, who was slowly walking through the python in the rocky mountain, looked up with emotion.
But he saw that the huge python's body was shrinking rapidly, and the dim light of the wilderness quickly disappeared from his eyes.
"Has it been discovered?"
Wang Changle suppressed the surprise in his heart, muttering secretly in his heart, and continued to fall.
As the saying goes, if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you catch the tiger’s cubs?
Regardless of whether he was discovered or not, he couldn't turn back now. That body that was comparable to a mountain in the deep valley was beyond what he could handle.
But soon Wang Changle realized that he had indeed been discovered, because the neighing sounds in the darkness became more and more intensive, and even on the quiet rock wall, there were countless black shadows swimming.
"Hiss~huss~"
In the darkness, there were hundreds of phosphorescent shadows, moving quickly through the darkness, seemingly searching for something.
Wang Changle could only keep moving his body to avoid it, and quickly moved deeper.
The deeper you go, the more intense the sense of depression and unknown becomes.
It wasn't until a little bit of phosphorescence entered his eyes that Wang Changle breathed a sigh of relief.
It was also at this moment that he saw everything around him clearly, but he felt a creepy feeling.
"What kind of Snake Valley is this? This is clearly a place for snakes, that's right!"
The bottom of the valley, as far as the eye can see, is completely occupied by snakes, and snakes can be found in almost every area.
Whether on rock walls, in river valleys, in ravines, or even in the air.
Countless snakes are winding their bodies, circling up and down, entangled and twisting together, or swimming disorderly on the mountain wall.
The strange shapes and complex and changing colors all illustrate how dangerous these snakes are.
Wang Changle, who was hovering in the air, searched for a long time and found no place where he could set up a cone.
"Fortunately, I finally found it!"
But he also discovered a temple hidden among the snakes. Inside the temple was a half-human, half-snake statue with two wings on its back. Complex runes were crawling on the mottled snake body.
That should be the temple of the snake god's ruins in the 'Legend of Duroges', the sacred place of worship for the Womi people.
However, if you want to reach the temple, you must deal with the snakes under you, because the snakes have already regarded the temple as their lair.
Countless tiny young snakes are perched on top of the statue.
Even on the sacrificial platform, there is a two-headed black mamba swimming slowly.
Wang Changle knew that with his strength alone, it was impossible to break through. Even if his 'Indestructible Diamond' could withstand the bites of the main group of snakes, he would not be able to complete the sacrificial ceremony.
What's more, his 'Indestructible King Kong' still has a 20-minute cooling time. Once he loses the protection of 'Indestructible King Kong', he will be devoured by a group of snakes.
However, he knew clearly from documents and historical records, and had already thought of a response.
"Blackhoof, it's your turn!"
In an instant, 50% of Wang Changle's blood rushed out of his body, forming a positive and negative pentagram array in the air, and the black goat cub walked out of the blood array.
As soon as Black Hooves appeared, the power of the 'unspeakable thing' swept across the entire place, causing all the snakes to retreat.
A large area of the huge valley was cleared instantly.
"Master, did you come to the snake ancestor's temple to complete the blood sacrifice?"
Black Hooves rolled up Wang Changle, who was half kneeling on the ground, to his head, but Wang Changle, who was suffering from the pain of blood backlash, could not answer.
In an instant, Wang Changle, who lost nearly half of his blood, felt like everything was burning inside him.
"Hoo, ho, take me there, quickly!"
After breathing for a while, Wang Changle, whose face turned pale, pointed at the location of the temple.
Black Hooves understood immediately and quickly ran towards the temple. The snakes along the way all took shelter as if they were avoiding natural enemies.
The passage was unobstructed and they quickly entered the temple. Countless little snakes had already left under the protection of the two-headed snakes. Even the two-headed black mamba did not dare to approach after seeing the black hoof.
This is Wang Changle's confidence. Among the large amounts of Cthulhu knowledge he has supplemented, part of it is about the division of Cthulhu racial ranks.
After excluding the Old Ones and the three outer gods, the Cthulhu system also divides various races and civilizations, the most obvious of which are independent races and servant races.
At the same time, these two categories are divided into superior and inferior levels according to the ineffables of faith.
Among them, as Wang Changle is familiar with, Kunyang people, evil fungi, ancient leather giants, and snake people all belong to lower-level independent races.
Black Hoof is the descendant of Gauze-Nicholas. Although he is only one of tens of millions of descendants, he is still in the growth stage-1 type.
But in terms of racial rank, it belongs to the superior servant race, and it has a natural deterrent effect even against the Iggy Snake people.
What's more, the only people around here are the descendants of snake people. This kind of intimidation is even more terrifying, so naturally they don't dare to get close to Black Hooves.
Wang Changle stepped down from Black Hoof, stroked Black Hoof and said.
"If I succeed, you must remember to absorb it immediately!"
The altar is covered with dark and mottled marks, which are the color of blood. Even after tens of millions of years, this dark brown color has not faded at all.
Wang Changle stood on the altar, knelt down on one knee, cut his wrist open with a sacrificial knife, and then smeared blood on the sacrificial knife.
“Greatfatherofbadmedicine,Ipraytoyouwiththeessenceoflifeandaskyoutogivemeagift”
Wang Changle, who was chanting prayers, let blood stain the runes as he walked.
The runes were activated by the blood and prayers and quickly linked up with the magic circle. Wang Changle took out the 'Essence of Life (Xia Lei)' and then flew forward and stuffed it into the snake mouth of the statue.
"?πat?p?σti."
With his blood stained on his face, Wang Changle quickly carved a mandala formation on the altar and began to pray devoutly.
The statue's snake pupils moved slightly and quickly absorbed the 'essence of life'.
The next moment, there was a look of scrutiny in the snake eyes of the statue, looking at Wang Changle who was kneeling devoutly beside the altar.
Suddenly, a wisp of snake saliva dripped down, and Black Hoof instantly caught it with a curl of tentacles.
"Huh~"
Wang Changle opened his eyes and looked, only to see that the statue of Snake Ancestor had weathered, and even the runes on the altar had disappeared.
"Hissssss~"
The weathering of the statue of the ancestral snake quickly caused a riot among the snakes in the Snake Valley.
The blasphemous anger caused the group of snakes to instantly break through their fear of the black goat and charge towards Wang Changle frantically.
With a startling glance, Wang Changle felt chills all over his body, as a wave of hundreds of millions of snakes came over him.
Such a ferocious snake tide, once touched, will definitely lead to death!
"Nature's Call"
"Wall of Treants"
Six tree men quickly surrounded Wang Changle, and he took advantage of the situation to pop out the 10 penny.
"War Stampede!"
The black-hoofed sheep's hooves also frightened everyone around, and then turned into a flash of red light and disappeared into Wang Changle's body.
"Ding"
The penny dropped on the altar with a crisp sound, but Wang Changle disappeared into the Snake Temple.
"Hooray~"
The Rock Mountain Python roared and broke through the abyss, smashing the distant mountains into pieces with one tail.
The powerful power frightened Gaia, and she hurriedly fled into the distance.
