In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"elder brother!?"

“Aim there, and we’ll both swing our spears together!” Zero didn’t say anything more.

"Okay!" Type I unconditionally believed in Type Zero.

As they fell freely due to gravity, the two swung their spears into the air.

However, just as the spears were about to strike the mud, the body of the hooked snake stopped precisely at the tip of the two brothers' spears.

puff-

The sharp weapon sliced ​​through the scales, leaving a huge wound in the flesh.

Neither Zero nor First Form paused for a moment, the spear continued to thrust out.

hiss--

The hooked snake let out a scream.

Ka-Ka-Cha-

After a crisp cracking sound, the two brothers broke off the hook snake's tail.

---Aside---

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Central Mountains Classic, states: "The river flows eastward into the great river, where many strange snakes dwell."

The strange snake here was marked by later generations.

“In Yongg County today, there is a hook snake that is several feet long with a forked tail. It hooks people, cattle and horses on the shore in the water and eats them.”

Chapter 770 The Flesh-Bearing Elf

Not far from the Aoyin tribe that the group was dealing with, a figure was walking.

Is that a person?

I think so. She's a beautiful woman with long, beautiful chestnut hair and lovely brown eyes.

But there was no reason in those eyes, only the most basic consciousness, devoid of intelligence and humanity.

These are spirits that exist solely to pursue nutrition, and are the terminals used by the Inner Sea of ​​the Star to manage the surface. However, over the long years, they have gained human form and a physical body.

In other words, a flesh-eating elf.

Her eyes have recorded many things, and her mind is filled with many memories.

But no one, no one was truly willing to accept her. All along, she had been wandering this land as a spirit without a sense of self.

She lacked a sense of self, and although she had once lingered in the Central Plains, witnessed the glory and fall of the Shang dynasty, and seen the legendary Investiture of the Gods, she did not participate in it because she lacked a sense of self.

She remained a spirit without a self, wandering aimlessly across the land like a lost soul without support, or a small boat without moorings, merely seeking the most basic sustenance and energy, drifting across the earth seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

At some point, she left the grand formation in the Central Plains and climbed onto the plateau, where she roamed and hunted.

At that moment, she caught a whiff of blood, a scent that represented nutrition.

Normally, she would wander around, killing the creatures around her and extracting their energy to sustain her own life, just like the Qiang tribe before.

In her eyes, all living things are energy, without any distinction of high or low.

When there is no "high-energy" source like humans or animals, she usually survives by absorbing the energy of plants.

It can be roughly understood as eating grass.

She quickened her pace and ran towards the source of the bloody smell.

Meanwhile, at her destination, the two brothers were still fighting.

Hiss hiss hiss——————

The hooked snake let out a painful roar, thrashing about even more violently, constantly looking for an opportunity to devour the two brothers.

"It keeps burrowing in and out, it's so annoying!" Yi Shi was hit several times by the hook snake's body. Although he wasn't seriously injured, he was still furious.

He picked up the massive, severed tail hook of the hooked snake that had fallen to the side and said to Zero, "Brother! Throw me up there!"

Zero nodded, just as he completely trusted Isshiki.

With their hands folded on their knees, the two brothers found an opening and threw Yi Shi, with the tail hook attached, into the air.

"Drink-"

With a roar high in the sky, Yishi pointed his tail hook downwards and pressed it down toward the head of the hook snake.

puff-

The hook snake's huge head was severed by its own tail hook. Its headless and tailless body struggled violently on the spot, but it was too late. The hook snake would die completely soon.

"Phew... This match was exhausting." Yishi wiped the sweat from his brow and pulled himself out of the mud.

"Okay, come on up first." Zero reached out his hand to Isshiki and pulled Isshiki out of the mud completely.

Ji Chao also came over and patted the two brothers on the shoulder: "Take a rest first, I'll check it out for you."

"Yes, the leader."

"Alright, leader."

Ji Chao examined the brothers' injuries, while Wen Ju stood behind them with his luggage, observing them with a bored expression.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ji Chao sensed something and looked up. "Is there any Ao Yin left?"

Kuaiji Zero seemed to sense something as well, and looked in the direction of the hook snake's corpse.

It seems something has come here.

"...Not the aura of a human, the one in control?" Kuaiji Zero looked at Ji Chao.

"...There's only one, do as you please." Ji Chao shrugged. A small number wouldn't cause a major disaster, and he didn't want to wipe them out completely.

"...I'll go take a look first." Just then, Ji Chao had already used magic to heal Zero's injuries, so Zero stood up and walked towards the direction of the hook snake's corpse.

"Hey, brother, wait for me, I'm going too." Yi Shi tried to get up, but Ji Chao pressed him to the ground. "Wait a minute! Take care of your injuries first!"

"I'm not the one in charge..."

Kuaiji Zero had already moved to the side of the Hooked Serpent's corpse, observing the situation.

"Hmm?" He frowned.

Was she a human woman?

In Zero's eyes, a beautiful woman with chestnut hair was standing in front of the Hook Serpent's corpse, gently placing her hand on it.

呲——

After a faint sound, Zero sensed that the remaining life force in the hook snake's corpse suddenly and rapidly diminished.

All that rich life force surged toward the woman's fingertips, disappearing without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

The enormous hooked snake carcass turned into a desiccated corpse in just over ten seconds.

Zero instantly became alert, took the mechanical spear from his waist, and looked at the woman.

The woman absorbed the life force of the hook snake, and as if she hadn't had enough, she looked at Kuaiji Zero standing to one side.

This celebrity really wants to retire.

"Who are you?" Kuaiji Zero asked coldly, staring intently at the woman.

The woman remained silent, her gaze towards Kuaiji Zero Shi lifeless, as if she were an inanimate object.

She raised her hand, pointing it towards the Kuaiji Zero.

stop--

With a sudden swing of his arm, flesh and blood transformed into a sharp sword, flying towards the Kuaiji Zero.

Ping—smack—

Kuaiji Zero deflected the flesh-and-blood sword that had been thrown at him, his eyes still wary.

This thing is definitely not human!

call--

He turned his head and found that the woman had already pounced on him, holding a sword made of flesh and blood, which she was about to stab at his face.

He bent back, grabbed one of her arms, and punched the woman in the face. The woman, however, felt no pain and continued to stab Zero in the face with her sword.

"Tsk!"

Zheng—

Zero somersault dodged the blood-soaked slash, and when he came to his senses, he saw that the mechanical spear in his hand had been cut in half by the woman's blood sword, and the woman had already thrown a lot more blood swords at him.

Dodging the blood sword, the woman threw away the broken mechanical spear without hesitation and kicked Zero in the face again.

With his hands overlapping in front of his chest, he caught a flying kick and pushed the strange woman back. Zero then moved closer and punched her in the chest.

"Pfft—Ahhh—" The strange woman screamed and staggered backward.

Zero, seizing the advantage, pressed forward and kicked her.

With her arms overlapping, she narrowly received Zero's heavy blow. The strange woman pulled Zero's foot downwards, spun around in the air, and kicked Zero's shoulder from behind.

"What kind of monster dares to cause trouble?!" A sudden shout rang out, and a long spear was brandished.

A line of blood appeared on the strange woman's neck.

Chapter 771 The Savior Machine and the Elves

The strange woman's head was sliced ​​off by the tip of a spear used by Kuaiji Yishi.

"My brother?"

"Brother, what's going on?" Ignoring the woman, Type-0 asked Type-0 in confusion.

"...It's nothing." Zero felt something was off. His intuition told him that the danger hadn't disappeared, but the woman had indeed fallen to the ground. However, it was blocked by Isshiki, so Zero couldn't see what was going on.
