Chapter 403 Ancient Brass Dragon
“I know that I am different from other snake people. I have known it since I was a child. They like humidity and darkness, they are savage and primitive, and they are ridiculously arrogant and arrogant. Although they are cunning, they are also They lack intelligence and plan silly plots all day long, but don’t have enough courage to implement them. I despise them and look down on them because they are no different from real beasts.”
Snake girls seem to be stupid. Brian spoke as if he didn't exist, minding his own business:
"But so what? They have power and control the life and death of all the snake people living in Salukda. In this ancient ruins Here, no one can resist them, so no matter how much I don’t like it, I can only obey the orders of these idiots and fools.”
“Once, I tried to change everything, and I was naive. I thought I could get ahead through hard work, but I was wrong. In Salukda, the value of a person does not depend on how powerful he is, let alone how wise he is, but only on appearance. As long as the appearance is closer, The higher the status of a snake, the more valued it is by others. As a pure snake person who looks almost nothing like a snake, I am born guilty."
"So, no matter how many and powerful enemies I kill, it's all useless. Because no one will admit my hard-fought victory, and no matter how correct my suggestions are, no one will listen, because they don't believe I can Guide them to get the most benefit. "
"What am I? I am a soldier who can be sacrificed at any time, a chess piece that is not a pity to abandon. I have no status and can be recruited at will by anyone. It comes and goes, and the status is only a little higher than that of a slave, a dispensable and humble existence.
"I am not willing to give up. I believe that I was born with a great mission. Since it is not here, it must be somewhere else. The world is big, and there will always be a place where I can complete it until I wake up. The memory of..."
Bertha's voice gradually became lower, as thin as a gossamer, as if there was something there, and it was so sad and gentle that it makes people feel soul-destroying.
Brian chewed the song carefully The meaning of the word suddenly made me feel a little sad.
After a long time, seeing that Seth's clone remained silent and did not communicate with him, he knew that his plan to block the evil god was successful. Then in order to delay time, he pretended to sigh leisurely, shook his head and said:
"You Want to complete your mission? I can understand this desire, but have you ever thought about what will happen in the future? "
"After leaving here..." The snake girl was half asleep. , whispering in a low voice like a dream: "I will get rid of the shackles here, find those things that should belong to me, and own them again. They are mine, because I deserve it."
< br>“But you will also lose a lot because of this. After you leave, you may never come back. Just like having wings to soar in the sky means losing the right to keep your feet on the ground.”
Brian He asked calmly: "You know, in this world, there is a kind of bird. It is born without feet. It keeps flying all its life and can never land. When they stop and land, the bird dies. time.”
"So what?" Bertha opened her eyes, her pupils sparkling. The light was unyielding, unwilling, and stubborn:
"Only when I fly can I truly live. Life is meaningful, even if it is only for a moment, it is better than their mediocre lives for hundreds or thousands of years. Brian, tell me, you are really not the Saluk witch code. But why did I see it at first sight? You, I think you are very familiar with me, and you think you will be the one who will decide my fate?”
“I am indeed not a Saluk witch, I can swear this to anyone.” Brian Weiwei. Smiling, he gently rubbed the Holy Emblem that was always in his palm.
Right now, he still doesn’t know what Seth’s clone is planning, which makes him a little undecided.
But there is no doubt that this snake girl is indeed the once sleeping Saluk witch.
Although he was killed by a snake man in his sleep, he was reincarnated into a newborn snake man through some secret method. Finally, under the summons of the evil god Seth, he gradually awakened his past memories.
The most important thing is that this snake girl is too weak, and he doesn't know how to expect her to help him obtain the secret energy core.
Since I can't count on the other party, I just rely on myself. Fortunately, after learning the true intentions of the evil god Seth, I made preparations.
Having made up his mind, Brian snapped his fingers, steadied the snake girl, and said in a deep voice:
"Your hunch is right, I am indeed the one who can change your destiny, let You can leave Salukda and fly into the sky. Didn’t you say you were going to make a deal before? Okay, now I can tell you that the deal will take effect from now on. If you stay with me, you can fly higher than the stars. High.
But...
The sound of "boom" sounded like a thunderbolt and the earth was shattering. It suddenly came out without any warning and shook the entire ancient city.
Countless houses also shook, and the weapons hanging on the walls and the furniture in the rooms fell like rain.
The sudden change occurred, and Bertha was caught off guard and rolled down from the recliner. The joy on her face had not faded, but was replaced by panic at a loss.
Immediately afterwards, the soul-stirring roar was like thunder, spreading throughout Salukda from top to bottom.
"Enemies, there are enemies! Everyone, come out!"
Hoarse shouts came from all directions, and countless snake-men emerged from their respective lairs with weapons in hand. A rustling sound passed by Bertha's cabin.
Immediately afterwards, someone knocked hard on the door of the snake girl's house, called her name, and ordered her to come out quickly to face the enemy together.
Having formed an instinctive reaction, Bertha agreed and quickly regained her composure.
She climbed up from the ground cleanly, retrieved her bow and arrows and scimitar from the debris on the floor, put them on, and ran out of the house.
Brian's thoughts were racing, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, took one of Bertha's soft and boneless arms, and asked: "Now is your last chance. Choose, follow me or stay?"
The snake girl was stunned, and immediately reacted, saying decisively: "Follow you! I can trust you."
"Okay, then don't worry about the outside world." Brian said solemnly :
“Come with me to the temple. I want to take something from there. Once I get it, I will take you away from this sunless ruin and let you pursue the faith in your heart.”
"Understood, let's go."
The snake girl didn't hesitate at all. She didn't even look at the home where she had lived for more than ten years. She opened the door and walked out.
Brian originally thought that this attack was a deliberate attack carried out by the Ethiopian lizards in order to cooperate with his own actions after they eliminated the patrol that went to 'search for traces of the basilisk'.
Although before leaving, he specifically told the lizard chief that he must wait for his signal before launching an attack, he did not expect the other party to obey his command at all.
But as soon as he went out, he knew that he was wrong.
Not only is it wrong, it is also very wrong.
Because the shadow that is hovering over Salukda and roaring repeatedly belongs to a dragon!
A huge, living, golden ancient brass dragon, full of supreme majesty and overwhelming force!
This kind of powerful creature is definitely not something that the Ethiopian lizards can drive. They don't have this ability yet.
Brian immediately judged that there must be another powerful explorer who has taken a fancy to this place and is trying to attack the snake people.
Because the brass dragon soaring and gliding in mid-air seems to mean more containment and fighting. He carefully kept a safe distance from the snake people on the ground, swooped down, breathed out scorching flames, then roared with laughter, and then returned to the sky in an elegant manner.
The Brass Dragon does not fight alone.
The turbulent airflow between the wings formed bursts of unnatural winds, which vaguely formed a translucent cyan giant.
The giant's laughter was no less loud than that of the brass dragon, and its roaring wind was as fierce as a wild horse. It rolled up the snake soldiers on the ground one by one and threw them forcefully, and the threat it posed was no greater than the burning heat of the brass dragon. The flame should be low.
The snake soldiers shot arrows into the sky desperately, but the arrowheads did not pass through the wind-like giant's body and fell to the ground in vain.
It was rebounded by the brass dragon's extremely strong scales, and only a few useless sparks were thrown.
The entire city was mobilized under the attack of the extremely powerful dragon.
More and more snake soldiers gathered, and even commotion began in the direction of the temple.
A large number of soldiers poured out of the temple, including several snake priests.
Looking at such a chaotic scene, Brian smiled secretly in his heart and immediately guessed whether this ancient brass dragon was his ally.
What he didn't expect was that the backup plan he prepared actually had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Taking this opportunity, he stopped watching from the sidelines, picked up Bertha and ran towards the temple.
On the way, there were many snake soldiers shouting their names, asking them to deal with the Brass Dragon together. Brian was too lazy to bother with them. If there were many people on the other side, he would call them as if he couldn't hear them. Just run by, and if you are alone, simply raise your hand, and the crackling magic will directly send the unlucky guy to meet the snake god Masak.
Brian, who has mastered the laws of space, can perform teleportation almost continuously. Even if he brings an extra Bertha, he doesn't feel any burden at all.
The two of them returned to the stone steps of the temple in a moment. Just at this moment, the golden dragon Paralandax, who had been silent in the arcane fire for a long time, also appeared, as if he had been waiting for him here for a long time. .
He transformed into a translucent human, looked at Brian and gloated: "I have followed your instructions and successfully completed the task of moving the rescuers, but this snake man..."
"Look Come on, you can see her peculiarity. No need to say more for now, since everyone is here, let’s take action in advance.”
Brian put down Bertha and immediately performed a simple move. magic.
In an instant, colorful flames exploded over the ruins and lingered for a long time, visible from far and near.
This was the signal he had agreed in advance with the Ethiopian chieftain who stayed outside the city.
In a matter of moments, the lizard chief led hundreds of carefully selected lizard warriors into this ancient city of Saruk witches.
The sudden appearance and explosion of fireworks surprised the snakes on the ground, the brass dragon and the translucent giant in the air.
But the degree of surprise was far from enough to calm down the fight. There was only a pause, and the war started again.
Let them continue fighting life and death, anyway, the benefits will be mine in the end.
Brian sneered secretly, carrying Bertha in the chaotic battlefield, and quickly crossed the long stone steps with the golden dragon Paralandax and rushed into the main door of the temple.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Brian was surprised to find that the spacious space that was originally occupied by thousands of venomous snakes was now deserted and empty, except for the smell of fish.
The ruler of Salukda, the High Priest of the Demonic Snakemen, Abun, was nowhere to be seen. There were only a few guarded corpses of the mixed-blood snakemen on the ground.
The giant statue of Masak, the poisonous snake god, which supports the entire hall, has black scorch marks everywhere. Even the two huge rubies inlaid in the snake's eyes have become a penny. Worthless fragments, leaving only two big holes.
"Someone got there before us. Damn it, who is it? Do they also know that there is a Myser energy core here?" The snake girl looked livid and stamped her foot fiercely.
Brian naturally knew who the intruder was, because he had arranged this in the first place. Seeing that Seth's clone still didn't react at all, he knew that his plan had been successful.
So, he pulled Bertha over and asked: "Do you know where the treasure house of the temple is? Take us there quickly."
"The temple is the most important place in Salukda. As for the treasure house, It is an important place among important places. A purebred snake man like me has no chance to know the location of the treasure house."
The snake man girl made a disappointing statement. Then, she smiled slyly and said: "But these broken rules can't restrain me at all. I have already secretly investigated the location of the treasure house and even the method of opening it. Follow me."
The words were not heard yet. After falling, Bertha quickly ran forward to the stone altar in front of the giant statue of Marshak, bent down, and pressed a few times on an inconspicuous place.
Amidst the sound of 'clucking', the huge bluestone altar split into two, revealing a dark earth hole, with gusts of cold wind blowing out from the inside, making people shudder.
Brian calmly made several spell-casting gestures in succession, activating the defensive spells he had saved in advance. Then he took in the translucent shadow of the golden dragon Paralandax, and jumped down without hesitation. Bertha pressed on. Then, he also entered the tunnel.
The depth of the tunnel is at least hundreds of meters, and it gets hotter the further down.
When the two finally landed, the temperature was almost the same as standing next to a boiling volcano crater. Brian, who had fire immunity, was naturally incomparable to flames.
On the contrary, Bertha couldn't bear it, and the black hair on her temples was burnt and curled one by one.
She panted rapidly, pointed to the darkness ahead, and said: "At the end of the passage is the treasure house. Where are all the most precious treasures collected in Salukda over decades? …”
A flash of silver light illuminated the dark passage.
The dull explosion shook the silent corridor, and a hoarse and unpleasant scream, like the ghosts of hell, came leisurely from the deepest part of the passage.
