The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 338 Carrier of Mirage Pearl

"..."

Before he could fully understand the meaning of the woman's words, Pei Wende found that the fog that engulfed the village was gradually dissipating.

And as the fog dissipated, the devoured villages reappeared one by one.

It's just that the traces of being destroyed and devoured still remain, and even the villagers' expressions of sadness or joy are extremely funny.

"Ms. Zhu?"

At this time, a thin old man rushed to the vicinity of the woman's house first, and saw Pei Wende and the woman not far away at a glance.

"you……"

The old man looked at the woman in shock, or more precisely at the two dark green orbs in the woman's hand.

"Where is Ah Da? Why is this thing in your hand?"

"Could it be that the mutation of those monsters this time is because Ah Da has reached his limit?"

Asking several questions in a row, the old man didn't even care about Pei Wende who was obviously an outsider.

However, the woman named "Zhu Nu" did not answer his question directly. Instead, she glanced at the villagers who survived the catastrophe with a slightly mocking and sneering expression.

"Heh, did you come in time?"

"Are they planning to sacrifice you this time? A bad old man who has lived for an unknown number of years?"

"But don't worry, even if it's for my son, I will definitely not let those monsters spread."

Being ridiculed by Zhu Nu, the old man's eyes showed obvious helplessness.

Obviously, just like what Zhu Nu said, the old man did not appear here on his own initiative, but the villagers pushed him in front of Zhu Nu in a semi-forced manner.

"Zhu Nu, you know this is our fate."

"After all, if there is no one as the carrier of the 'Mirage Pearl', those invisible monsters will devour everyone."

"Anyway, old man, I have lived for so many years. Although it is not the most suitable carrier, it can make everyone live longer."

"On the contrary, you really don't need to be so sinister as everyone thinks."

Not believing Lao Tzu's words at all, Zhu Nu smiled disdainfully, raised her head and swallowed the two dark green orbs into her stomach.

"Gollum!"

Accompanied by a clearly visible swallowing sound, Zhu Nu's skin began to turn grayish white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, a bony horn like a knife cut through the center of her eyebrows, and then a scarlet vertical eye opened, which was as terrifying as the pupil of a ferocious devil.

However, this is not the end, because this is only the beginning.

"what!"

In Zhu Nu's suppressed painful wailing, two small sharp horns protruded from both sides of her forehead, just like the previous horn formed a triangle.

From a distance, it looks like a simple crown growing directly on Zhu Nu's skull.

And that scarlet vertical eye is the most important "gem" in the center of the crown, not only eye-catching and gorgeous, but also exuding a strange aura all the time.

"Roar!"

With the formation of the "crown", Zhu Nu's already pale skin began to harden.

It only took a few short breaths, and Zhu Nu's skin turned into a rock-like tough substance, and some key vital parts even directly grew a layer of pale horny layer.

The most important thing is that Zhu Nu's body also continued to swell and enlarge in the process, turning into a form that Pei Wende felt very familiar with.

"Roar!"

So when all these changes stopped, the original gentle and elegant woman had disappeared, replaced by a skeleton giant with a height of three meters.

......................................................................................................

"Roar!"

After completing her own transformation, Zhu Nu, who turned into a skeleton giant, just glanced at her empty home with nostalgia for the last time, and then turned around and disappeared into the rapidly receding fog.

Be it the old man or Pei Wende...

Zhu Nu seemed to have completely forgotten their existence at this moment, and turned into a "dead" similar to the skeleton giant Pei Wende had met before.

"Ugh!"

The old man who had expected this for a long time did not know whether he was relieved or sighed, and then he slowly turned his eyes to Pei Wende who was at the side.

"Outsider, it seems that you caused all this?"

Since I didn't hear any hostility similar to Zhu Nu's from Lao Tzu's words, Pei Wende nodded after a little thought.

It's just that he was wary of the old man in his heart, and he would not treat him as an ordinary old man.

This was not only because Pei Wende felt a little unbelievable about the changes in Miss Zhu, but also because the conversation between the two of them revealed a huge amount of information.

"If you don't mind, would you like to listen to my old man rambling?"

Unlike Zhu Nu's hostility towards outsiders, the old man looked at Pei Wende full of nostalgia and regret.

"After all, no outsider has successfully broken into this land for more than ten years."

When he said this, Lao Tzu paused, as if he was intentionally waiting for Pei Wende's reply.

"Okay, I just want to know what happened here."

First, he glanced thoughtfully at the direction where Zhu Nu disappeared, and then turned his head to look at the villagers who still dare not go forward...

Pei Wende felt that the relationship between these villagers seemed to be more complicated than he imagined.

However, this did not prevent Pei Wende from obtaining information and clues from the old man, especially when Zhu Nu suddenly turned into a skeleton giant.

"That's good!"

Nodding in relief, the old man didn't reveal his real purpose until then.

"However, I hope you can take the initiative to leave here after listening to my nagging, and never return to the village again."

Silently looking at the old man, Pei Wende knew that this was the old man making a condition to him.

Although the other party didn't show the naked hostility like Zhu Nu did, he still didn't want to stay here after all.

The only difference is that because of "Ada's death", Zhu Nu never thought of "peacefully" negotiating with Pei Wende from the very beginning.

"This is also fine, but I want to know first, what happened to the skeleton giant?"

"Also, what happened to Zhu Nu who kept saying that I killed Ah Da and awakened the resentment in this land?"

Pei Wende's intuition told him that these two questions might be able to answer most of the doubts in his heart.

Vaguely, Pei Wende even felt that even the villagers living here might not necessarily know the true answers to these two questions.

"All of this...we have to start from the beginning."
