Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 345 Weakness
"You want to know... what poison can compare to the venom of Hydra?"

The centaur named Nessus looked around suspiciously at the questions posed by the reincarnators.

However, as the captain, Lao Jiu could see clearly that the centaur was secretly watching the white mist, its eyes constantly trying to stare at the white mist, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

These individuals were all reincarnators who had lived for over a hundred years, having long since shed their mortal nature and gradually entered the realm of transcendence and sainthood.

Those who reach this level of existence, regardless of their past, possess immaculate bodies, delicate skin, and perfectly proportioned figures, significantly surpassing ordinary people in appearance. As a woman, Bai Wu's ethereal demeanor and exceptional figure easily attract the opposite sex.

This centaur was clearly also attracted by the appearance of the white mist. It is no wonder that the centaur is known for its lustful nature, which is clearly mentioned in the original myths.

Bai Wu clearly noticed this as well. She frowned slightly, but then seemed not to notice and gently parted her lips.

"Nessus, I've heard that centaurs are skilled in prophecy. Do you know why we've come?"

In many stories, centaurs possess the ability to foresee the future. This is not a invention of modern novels like Harry Potter, but rather a very ancient story.

According to Bai Wu's understanding, centaurs in this world generally possess this ability as well, differing only in strength.

Upon hearing this, the centaur's expression immediately became somewhat tense.

"I cannot tell you what you want me to do."

"So, you know what we want to do, right?"

White Mist sensed the centaur's nervous thoughts and quickly pressed him for answers.

The centaur quickly replied.

“Traveler from afar, this is a matter that mortals cannot interfere with. Even if divine lightning strikes me from the sky and I am scorched by the flames of the underworld, I cannot speak of it.”

The centaur seemed terrified of this and dared not utter a single word.

"Then how can you say it?"

Old Ninth asked from the side.

"No, no... I can't say..."

The centaur hesitated, its eyes darting over the white mist, yet it dared not look too obviously.

He was aware that all three people in front of him were extremely capable, and he dared not reveal his true thoughts.

The swordsman, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted.

"What if we give you enough gold?"

In any story, centaurs are often portrayed as greedy creatures, with a penchant for money and treasure.

Upon hearing the word "gold," the centaur's eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid.

"Gold? Gold is good, gold is good... but... but..."

The centaur's expression clearly showed interest, but as if he had suddenly thought of something, his face became a mixture of greed and fear, making it impossible for him to speak coherently.

He was hesitant.

However, Lao Jiu realized that while he was filled with greed and fear, his gaze toward the white mist became increasingly intense. Yet, he was still somewhat wary of himself and the swordsman, and dared not do anything.

This centaur seems to be overcome with lust.

With just a glance and a slight movement of their lips, the three exchanged ideas through tacit understanding and habitual lip-reading.

【what to do?】

This is the white mist asking a question.

Soon, Lao Jiu, as the team leader, decided on the next course of action.

"You centaur, what else do you want? Just say it."

The ninth brother acted as if he was in a hurry.

The centaur in front of him avoided eye contact, but finally swallowed hard and said breathlessly.

“If you are willing to give me gold, and also let this beautiful lady beside you stay with me for a month… no, even just a week… no, even just one night, I will tell you what I want.”

The centaur, emboldened, stared at the beautiful white mist and spoke.

His eyes burned with a fiery intensity, filled with greedy desire.

"How dare you, you centaur..."

Bai Wu was furious and wanted to leave, but her two companions tried to persuade her to stay.

After a long while, Bai Wu reluctantly lowered her head and approached the centaur. The centaur, overjoyed, hugged the beautiful woman tightly, and then said to the two of them.

"Please stay away for now, and I will tell you the answer tomorrow."

The two companions had no choice but to retreat.

But once its two companions were far away, the centaur named Nessus swiftly hoisted the white mist onto its back, and with its four hooves flying, it galloped away in a flash. Besides being skilled in prophecy, greedy, and lustful, centaurs are also known for their habitual lying.

He dared not offend the gods, yet he was unwilling to abandon such a beautiful woman, so he devised this cunning plan.

The white mist, held hostage, was filled with shock and rage, yet powerless to resist. For the next few days, the centaurs kept her captive in their lair, wreaking havoc at will.

One night, the centaur heard the white mist weeping. The white mist spoke to the centaur.

"I've been kidnapped by you, and I've resigned myself to my fate. Perhaps this is the arrangement of the gods. But at least tell me, what in this world is as deadly as the venom of the Hydra?"

The centaur, at the white mist's urging, also lowered his guard, and said to the white mist.

"You have the audacity to try and harm that child of the Father of God and Man. He is the child of God, a destined hero who will achieve incredible feats in the future. How could mortals possibly harm him?"

"Don't even mention the three of you, even if there were three hundred of you, it would be impossible to succeed. But since you've put it that way, I'll give you an answer for now."

As he spoke, the centaur began to show off.

"The most venomous thing in the world is the hydra. The hydra is the child of the god who devours the world, the father of all demons. It was born from the saliva of the father of all demons and inherited his venom, possessing the most deadly venom in the world. There is no venom more poisonous than this. But even such a venomous snake could not kill that demigod."

Bai Wu asked curiously.

"Why couldn't even Hydra's venom kill that demigod?"

The centaur scoffed at this.

"That demigod has the blood of the Father of All Demons in his body, and is immortal. Even if the poison can cause him great pain, it cannot kill him."

The centaur found the three men utterly ridiculous; how could three mere mortals insist on picking a fight with a demigod?

Although it was able to make prophecies, it truly did not understand what these three people were thinking.

While the centaur scoffed at the three's foolishness, it failed to notice that the white mist before it was exceptionally rational and calm, its eyes gleaming with golden light, which it could not see.

"So, what's the best way to defeat that demigod?"

The white mist spoke, and commas faintly appeared and spun in its pupils, while also radiating a golden light.

The centaur, seemingly oblivious, spoke quite naturally.

"Even that demigod has his weaknesses, which are also the weaknesses of all mortals."

"There is something that is slow-moving and weak, so weak that it cannot even make a rabbit move its feet, yet it can make the most noble king in the world bow down before it and the bravest warrior in the world fall before it."

Can you guess what this is?

The centaur proudly showed off its riddle.

In Bai Wu's pupils, which swirled violently like jade, there was only indifference; she had already understood.

So she began to answer the centaur's riddle.

"That thing is called aging."

"That's right, it's aging, my beauty, you're so clever."

As the centaur spoke, he excitedly gazed at the beautiful woman before him, then pounced on her again…

While the centaur was lost in his reverie, three people beside him coldly watched him.

It was still the same riverbank, and still the same three travelers and a centaur. But now the centaur was lying on the ground, eyes closed, with a look of ecstasy on its face, occasionally letting out strange groans, its lower body still throbbing on the ground.

"The answer has been found."

Bai Wu said to his companion beside him.

In the previous world, the four members of the team were forcibly detained in the Type-Moon universe for sixty years. During those sixty years, they gained a great deal.

Leaving aside the others, just talking about Shirami, when she was in the Type-Moon world, besides learning magic knowledge, she spent the rest of her time researching the development of artificial magic eyes.

The eye technique she learned from the Naruto world, after being combined with the artificial Mystic Eye unique to the Type-Moon world, was transformed into an alternative version of the Sharingan.

Although it's not the original and is indeed inferior to the original in many aspects, her artificial Sharingan has its own unique features, namely, it greatly enhances her illusionary abilities.

It's certainly not enough to deal with those powerful beings, but it's more than enough to confuse a centaur.

When the three reached a consensus, the centaur had unknowingly fallen into her illusion and thus learned more information.

"Aging? What kind of weakness is aging?"

The swordsman didn't understand. He really couldn't comprehend this kind of thing. Were the three of them supposed to wait in this world for more than a hundred years until Hercules slowly grew old?
He also had some understanding of this world. Although these demigod descendants could not live forever, it was not surprising that they could live for a hundred or two hundred years.

"Of course we can't just wait like this."

Old Nine shook his head.

Happy Children's Day to all readers! And to celebrate the author's happy Children's Day, let's set off fireworks!
