kingly way

Chapter 197 Chapter 197

There was a desolate cry of crows, as if telling the suffering brought about by the war...

Where the crow crowed, there was a desolate and desolate place. In this desolate and desolate place, there was a ruined temple.

The ruined temple has not been repaired for too long, and it looks dilapidated, surrounded by wild grass, which is as tall as half a person...

A black shadow flashed past the door of the ruined temple.

beast?

not human;

It's a man in black with a golden mask.

Immediately afterwards, four bronze-masked men in black flashed out following the golden-masked man, and they followed the golden-masked man into the gate of the ruined temple.

Who is it that boldly walks into the desolate and dilapidated temple where the crows are bursting out?

Five men in black walked into the ruined temple and stopped in front of the shrine. A bronze-masked man reached out to a dilapidated lampstand next to the shrine.

"stop……"

The man in black with a golden mask suddenly shouted.

The copper-masked man was taken aback for a moment, but he reacted quickly and immediately withdrew his hand.

"Squeak..." a sound,

A small animal the size of a gecko suddenly burst out next to the candlestick.

This little animal is colorful and looks like a gecko with small deer-shaped horns on its head. Its body is like a small snake with a row of green thorns on its back and four legs on its stomach...

It stared at the man in the copper mask, issued a creaking warning sound, the spines on its back stood up, and demonstrated to the man in the copper mask,
"What a beautiful little animal."

The man in black with the copper mask applauded, and stretched out his hand to grab it again.

"Stop it, do you want to die?"

The golden-masked man let out a loud shout.

The man in black with the copper mask immediately retracted his hand.

"It's the first time you're going out with me from the main altar, and you're not familiar with the various altar institutions, so you don't dare to move around." Jin Mian couldn't see his expression because his face was covered with a golden mask, but his tone could be heard to be very serious.

"What is this little thing? Could it be that it belongs to the guard?" The copper-masked man couldn't help being curious.

"Exactly, this little thing is called the Weird Snake, and it is an extremely sensitive animal. The candlesticks in each of our sub-altars are guarded by Weird Snakes." The man in black with a golden face nodded slightly.

"Is this the weird snake? There are such small snakes in the world?"

The man in the copper mask took a few steps back and let out a terrified exclamation. It seemed that the name of the grotesque snake frightened him.

"Well, although the grotesque snake is called a snake, it is not a snake. This small animal is extremely poisonous, and its attack speed is extremely fast. People who are bitten die with pain, cold limbs, and difficulty breathing. There is almost no medicine available. Doctor, only the purple elixir can treat the bite of the grotesque snake, but the purple elixir is extremely rare." The man in black with a golden mask nodded.

"Oh, then why didn't it attack me just now?" asked the man in black with the copper mask.

"Because I and the other hall masters of each sub-altar have a little purple elixir on them, otherwise you would have been injured by its fangs just now, let alone touched the door switch of the sub-altar." The golden-masked man Say.

"It's dangerous." The copper-masked man was terrified.

"This grotesque snake has a particularly good sense of smell, and what it fears the most is the smell of the purple elixir grass. Although the violet elixir smells weird, it can clear away heat, detoxify, and reduce swelling. It is the nemesis of the grotesque snake."

"Oh, so that's the case. Since the grotesque snake is afraid of the purple spirit pill grass, why didn't it slip away?" The man in black with the copper mask suddenly realized.

"We smashed the egg of the grotesque snake and painted it on the handle, and the smell of the egg of the grotesque snake will always remain on the handle. The grotesque snake will think that there are their offspring in the switch, and they will guard the switch. If someone were to touch a switch, it would attack at full speed."

"The chief altar master is powerful and omnipotent." The copper-masked man spoke in admiration.

"We have a pair of grotesque snakes guarding the switches in each of our sub-altars, which is more guaranteed to be safe." The golden-masked man said.

"A pair of grotesque snakes? Why do I only see one grotesque snake?" the copper-masked man asked suspiciously.

"The grotesque snake is a pair. When encountering an intruder, the male grotesque snake will come out to guard, and the female grotesque snake will lie aside. If the intruder continues to destroy, the female grotesque snake will attack suddenly, because the intruder pays attention to it. All the power is concentrated on the male grotesque snake, and the grotesque snake's attack speed is extremely fast, and there are almost no people who can survive the attack."

"The grotesque snake is so smart, and it can do tricks like this." The copper-masked man couldn't help sighing after hearing the golden-masked man's words.

"That's not counting." The golden-masked man slowed down a lot.

"Is there any smarter trick for the grotesque snake?" The man in the copper mask was even more surprised.

"If the female grotesque snake's sneak attack is unsuccessful, the attacker will focus on the grotesque snake, and the male grotesque snake will attack immediately."

"A seamless series of attacks, what if there are many people involved?"

"There are a lot of offenders, No.1 will scream when bitten, and other people will pay attention to the bitten person, and the male grotesque snake will quickly attack other offenders. Then they both escape into the grass to wait for an opportunity Attack again, because the grotesque snake is small, it is not easy to be found, and it is hard to guard against."

"This grotesque snake is old enough and quite scheming."

"Living in this complicated world, how do you survive if you don't have a plan?" The golden-masked man let out a 'chi' in disdain.

"But they use the taste of eggs as offspring, which is also their unintelligent side."

"Everything has its cleverness and its stupidity, and the same is true for the grotesque snake, but this shows the parental nature of the grotesque snake. When the grotesque snake breeds offspring, we take these offspring and re-cultivate them. And the remaining grotesque snakes will continue to guard the switch of the mechanism."

"The grotesque snakes are both clever and stupid. Their strategy of attacking the enemy shows their cleverness, but their clinging to the lifeless smell shows their stupidity." The copper-masked man sighed.

"Isn't it true for humans? How is it different from the weird snake? These few bones are the result of being bitten by the weird snake. The human is dead, but the weird snake is still alive. Do you think the human is smart or the weird snake is smart?"

The golden-masked man in black pointed to the bones next to him. Although he couldn't see the golden-masked man's expression, he could feel his sneer.

"But the Weird Snake has become your loyal portal guardian. Doesn't this mean that Zuo Shengshi is still more skilled than you?"

The man in black with the copper mask had actually noticed these bones just now, but he had to admire the man with the gold mask even more, and couldn't help admiring.

These corpses were extremely distorted, their fingers sank deep into the ground, and the ground was scratched with finger marks. s pain.

"When you see these bones, you can imagine how much pain they suffered before they died." The golden-masked man said what the copper-masked man was thinking.

"Why didn't the people who came with them move the corpse away?" the copper-masked man in black asked puzzledly.

"Move away, more people will die here." The man in black with a golden face said coldly.

After the golden-masked man finished speaking, he took out a cylindrical plant. The surface of the plant was densely covered with light yellow-green glandular hairs and soft hairs, and the leaves were oval.

"Is this the purple panacea?" The copper-faced man in black looked dreamily at the cylindrical plant. This cylindrical plant is not only a good herb for preventing grotesque snakes, but also has the functions of clearing away heat, detoxifying, and reducing swelling. , can heal bites from other poisons, as well as wounds.

"Ah."

The golden-masked man in black nodded, took the purple panacea from the golden-masked man's hand, rubbed the grass on his hand, and then reached out to the candlestick.

Seeing the golden-masked man stretching out his hand, the grotesque snake turned around, and with a "huh", it disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Why is this grotesque snake so afraid of the purple panacea?" The copper-masked man couldn't help but be amazed.

"Nature always generates and restrains each other. Although the grotesque snake is highly poisonous, the purple elixir is its great nemesis."

The man in black with the gold mask twisted the candlestick after he finished speaking.

"Smack..."

The altar suddenly moved away, revealing a hole. The inside of the hole was very dark, and the man in black with a golden mask led the crowd into the hole.

"Smack..."

After everyone entered the cave, the golden masked man pressed a protruding round stone next to it, and the altar returned to its original appearance.

"How deep is this grotesque snake, until we entered the cave, the female grotesque snake did not appear." The man in the copper mask sighed.

"This is the grotesqueness of the grotesque snake," said the man with the gold mask.

After a while, the smell of purple elixir grass gradually disappeared.

"Whoosh..."
The male grotesque snake is back in its original position.

Then there was a sound of "whoosh...", the female grotesque snake also rushed to the male grotesque snake, and the two grotesque snakes blended with each other, as if they were communicating, and then the female grotesque snake broke through the nearby hiding place place.

Only the male grotesque snake was left lying motionless on the candlestick, standing in front of the altar, looking like a finely crafted work of art...

The men in the golden mask and black clothes walked along the cave, and soon reached the end of the cave.

The hole was wide at the end, and a dozen people were gathered inside.

When they saw the man in black with a golden mask approaching, they hurried to meet them...

"Congratulations to Zuo Shengshi."

They bowed to the man in black with a golden face.

"Um,"

The man in black with a golden face waved his hand, went straight to the middle seat and sat down.

"Master Dai, is your news confirmed?" the man in black with a golden face asked.

"Report to the Holy Envoy, it is indeed correct."

Dai Tanzhu took two steps forward.

"Haha...Okay, wait for me to report to the Lord, Dai Tanzhu has done a great job."

The man in black with a golden face laughed loudly.

"Thank you for the promotion of the envoy."

The altar master Dai made a salute to the envoy.
