Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 390 No one can resist a barbecue.

Even though the first vanguard had been almost entirely wiped out, the elven warriors continued to cross the teleportation array and arrive on another land.

They all knew it would be an extremely dangerous journey, but they didn't care. After all, their hometown was behind them, and their deaths were insignificant for the sake of their hometown's future generations.

Even at the cost of their lives, they were determined to cause destruction to this alien planet—this was the shared vision of all the elven warriors.

Therefore, they showed no mercy when they took action.

The earth was torn apart, lava spewed out, volcanoes were destroyed, and rocks crumbled everywhere. Even though they were as small as ants or fleas compared to the entire planet, even the smallest bodies could draw blood from this land.

Every elven warrior thought the same way, and Hazabi, the elven warrior in the group, was no exception.

"If we get caught, then we'll just... um?"

Just as Hazabi found a spiritual energy node and prepared to wield his magic sword to leave a mark of destruction on the planet.

But then he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

It was definitely the smell of meat, Hazabi could tell, but compared to the dry, tough meat of the chocobos back home, the meat in front of him was clearly rich in oil—and this aroma also clearly contained some spices he had never seen before.

After being paired with these unknown spices, the originally monotonous meaty aroma suddenly gained layers, and the elven warrior Hazabi could even imagine the taste just by smelling the aroma.

The first bite is always tender and juicy, with the oil and salty aroma bursting in your mouth—but that's not the end, it's just the beginning. The overflowing juices will bring a refreshing sweet and sour taste that's not greasy, to every corner of your mouth.

Even after you've finished eating, you can still savor the fleeting pleasure in the aroma lingering in your mouth.

"So... huh?"

Hazabi had just come to his senses when he realized that the overflowing saliva had already dripped onto his chest.

After wiping the drool off his body, Hazabi realized that something seemed wrong. The scent alone had put him into a hallucination... What was this thing?
"Should we...go and take a look?"

Hazabi made the decision.

It wasn't that he coveted the source of the meaty aroma; rather, it was likely a counterattack by an enemy planet. Just as their home planet might bestow power upon them, a similar situation might occur on another planet.

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Hazabi felt that his idea was correct. He was not really greedy for the source of the meat's aroma. He was just scouting the enemy's situation and figuring out what these potential adversaries were up to.

With this in mind, Hazabi critically flew toward the direction from which the aroma of meat was coming from.

To Habisa's surprise, the other party also made no attempt to hide their identity.

It was a large snake with black and gold stripes on its body. In front of the snake was a barbecue grill made of bricks. This snake, which had no hands or feet, used its long tail as its hands to constantly flip the meat on the grill.

Just look at that nimble long tail; it can not only easily flip over the grilled meat, but it can even pick up the bottle next to it and sprinkle various seasonings on the grilled meat.

The aroma wafted from the barbecue grill, making Hazabi's mouth water.

This made Hazabi's expression turn serious.

"The evil serpent is actually preparing to replenish the energy of those locals... This is unacceptable!"

With that thought in mind, Hazabi immediately drew his magic sword.

"Hand over all the roasted meat!" Yes, this was Hazabi's way of dealing with evil magic; he planned to use the most basic method to plunder these energy sources.

If the locals ate this roasted meat, it would only make them stronger. But if he ate it, it would be different. As long as he could return to his home planet, it would be equivalent to plundering a piece of energy to take back with him.

"And this is indeed the next step in the plan: to dismantle this land and take everything that can be taken back... In this light, I've only done a little bit of work ahead of time."

As Hazabi thought this, the sharp blade in his hand drew ever closer.

But to Hazabi's surprise, the giant snake in front of him seemed completely unafraid of his sword.

Not only was it unafraid of his sword, but the giant snake in front of it even offered him roasted meat, clearly intending to entertain him with its hospitality.

"This……"

Hazabi hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the large piece of meat.

Regardless of what the giant snake was trying to do, at least the steaks in front of him were real. He had used magic to detect them, and there were no toxins on them, so they were safe to eat.

And it tastes delicious.

When Hazabi came to his senses, he was lying on the ground, his belly bulging out like a woman ten months pregnant—and around him were more than a dozen large bones.

God knows how he managed to eat all that stuff.

"I……"

Hazabi struggled to get up, but the drowsy feeling made his limbs weak—not because of any toxins, but simply because after eating so much, all the blood had been concentrated in his stomach.

"That's great...wait a minute!"

Startled, Hazabi quickly got up from the ground.

Another land, which is extremely dangerous. Every elven warrior has been trained before going to war, and under no circumstances are they allowed to land on the ground. As for the consequences of landing on the ground, many elven warriors have already given their lives to answer that question. As outsiders, they will suffer an absolute counterattack.

But just now, he was lying on this very ground, and he didn't die in any earthquake or landslide.

"How is this going?"

Hazabi instinctively looked at the giant snake that was still turning over the roasted meat.

Is it because of this giant snake?

Is it because of the existence of this giant serpent that the earth's pursuit was suppressed?

Almost immediately, Hazabi wanted to draw the magic sword at his waist. After all, whatever the reason, the fact that the earth could stop its tremors was enough to demonstrate the importance of the giant serpent. However, it was clear that the giant serpent had such abilities that it was almost impossible for him to take it down on his own.

Hadzabi thought he should call for backup immediately.

But before he could do anything, something was consciously transmitted to his mind.

"My friend, I think we should have a talk... What do you think?"
