Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 198 By the God of Courage, Which Enemy Is Worthy of a Fight?

The sun god Ujat waited, waiting for the chosen champions to charge in and tear the evil ancient serpent to pieces.

As for the evil ancient serpent in the eyes of the sun god Ujat, Du Yi was also waiting. After all, the eagle-headed man had said before that those so-called chosen champions were more like aliens than outsiders—Du Yi had never actually seen aliens before.

And judging from the way these aliens attacked as soon as they landed, they clearly had ill intentions.

"A fight might break out."

Realizing this, Du Yi also began his preparations for battle.

First, prepare throwing tools such as stones and tree trunks. Although Du Yi is quite confident in close combat, if he can win by throwing stones from a distance, there is no need to fight close. Of course, if he really has to get close, the raised scale hidden on his tail will come in handy. This scale, which he usually uses as a kitchen knife, will definitely give the enemies a surprise.

Besides that, there was the practice of spitting. Of course, it was just a similar action, but in reality, it was a way to spray venom from the fangs. Although Du Yi rarely used his venom, it didn't mean he didn't. Especially when encountering enemies that could fly and were agile, a sudden spit of venom would undoubtedly be an excellent anti-aircraft measure.

However, this time, in addition to these methods, Du Yi has a new way to use.

That is, the eagle-headed sun god.

Expecting the eagle-headed man to fight for him is unrealistic. However, the eagle-headed man, which has been smashed into thin pieces, has a temperature even hotter than a grill. This means that if a fight breaks out, he can throw the eagle-headed man pieces out to wrap around the enemy. The scorching temperature can instantly melt the enemy.

It's perfect for dealing with enemies like those in tin cans, like these aliens who are called God's Chosen Champions or something.

The sun god Ujat was waiting, as was Du Yi, who was ready to make his move. The two priests were also waiting—but compared to the two gods, their minds were not so calm, especially when they realized that these terrifying iron cans, each at least two hundred levels high, had actually come from the stars. For the first time, they experienced what it meant to have their brains shaken.

There are gods and living beings in the starry sky.

And those visitors from the starry sky...

It's still so strong!

"If the Snake God isn't here... no, even if the Snake God is here, what can we do?"

At that moment, the two priests deeply felt the enormous gap that existed between them.

Without the Serpent God, they would inevitably become playthings for these chosen champions. Their pride and joy would be as laughable as infants in the face of monsters over level 200.

Even if the Serpent God is present, the powerful one is only the Serpent God himself. What can these mortals do when facing those chosen champions?

"Actually... if I had known that Seth would encounter such a monster, I would have lent him the Divine Blade."

Satek the Greatsword remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"After all, even if this great sword is with me, it's just sitting here with me. The Great Serpent God is outside the city, and nothing is going to happen to me... On the contrary, if Setka had this great sword, he might not have died."

"Don't say such discouraging things."

Ansag of the Crown took a deep breath.

Although he said that, he was actually a little unsure of himself, as he was only at level 100.

If he is really targeted by the chosen champion, can he really survive?

No, he'll probably die even faster than Betka.

"strength……"

The two priests exchanged a glance, and both saw the longing in each other's eyes.

It is precisely because they are aware of their own weakness that they yearn endlessly for power. They have never craved strength so much.

So, as the organizers of various competitions, the two of them embezzled for the first time the food that was supposed to be given as prizes by God.

However, even if they gain power, they still need to wait. Although the food given by the gods can indeed give them experience, the amount they can consume is ultimately limited. They still need to wait for the food given by the gods to be fully digested before they can continue to absorb new experience.

The sun god Ujat was waiting, as was the fully armed Dui, the two priests, and even the law enforcement teams and the temporarily conscripted imperial troops were all waiting for the arrival of the chosen champions.

However, those chosen champions never came.

As for why...

"The level is too low!"

After just one glance from afar, the chosen champions hiding in the shadows shook their heads repeatedly.

They were initially quite interested in the giant serpent coiled outside the city, as it seemed to possess some strength—but the moment the serpent's level came into view, these chosen champions completely lost interest in it.

Although it's a special profession, it's only level one, so even if you win, you won't gain much experience.

On the contrary, the eagle-headed birdman who turned into a thin sheet looked to be of a good level, almost reaching level 200. If given another chance, this birdman might actually have a chance to be noticed by the God of Courage. However, it is clear that this birdman has no chance. Just by looking at the way he is lying on the ground, you can tell that this birdman only has a high level and can't actually do anything.

As for the rest of the people... needless to say, their levels are not even as high as this birdman's, they can't be considered strong at all.

"So... where exactly is this fluctuation coming from?"

At this moment, even the chosen champions were filled with confusion.

They sensed that there were many beings of extremely high level on this planet, so they came here specifically. On one hand, they naturally wanted to gain experience, but more importantly, they wanted to challenge the strong and prove their bravery to the God of Courage.

But now...

What about the strong?

Where is that extremely powerful expert who deserves their attention and is worth fighting?

"I found it!"

At that very moment, a champion warrior suddenly raised his hand.

"Right over there!"

Several champion warriors quickly looked in that direction, only to see a thin, withered old man sitting there, looking drowsy, actually dozing off.

"This……"

The champion warriors were immediately confused.

Judging from their appearance, they could probably crush them on the spot with a flick of their fingers. But can such ant-like figures really be considered strong?
However, as they continued watching, these champion warriors were stunned.

This was because the old man had a terrifyingly high level of 335 marked above his head.

【Level: 335】
