The Ring: Sell Dung Beetles in Junction

Chapter 302 Second Stage

The big snake's body shook and stopped attacking.Cerlian cautiously kept Neferi away.

When he zoomed out, Selian realized one thing. Although he was flying around with Nefeli just now, he didn't actually go around the back of the big snake.

Even with Neferi's mobility, they only bombarded half of Orochi's body.

The big snake's body vibrated again, and some bulges were agitating under the snake's skin, as if there were a few big rats under the big snake's skin—or a giant dragon was swarming.

The wounds caused by the bombing by Selian and Nefeli, all arrows shot out blood, the wounds did not heal again, but were stretched and torn, as if something was about to be born inside.

The dug out holes were torn apart and connected together, the ground formed by the snakeskin cracked, and countless flesh and blood tentacles protruded from the wound.Surrounded by tentacles, what finally broke out from his body was a pair of arms that were out of proportion to his huge body.

The big snake's head finally turned around at this time, showing a huge blue face.

There is also a Patch on the face.

A human face and hands grew out of the snake jade, and everyone present was a little surprised.

"What the hell is that?" Wuming murmured.

"It's my king!" Tanis became excited and announced happily, "I knew it, my king is not dead!"

"That's Lackard?" Neferi looked at Selian in surprise.

"Judging from the facial features and the ring on his hand, it does look like the painting of the volcano mansion." Serlian said, "Be careful."

The Fragment Lord, who had been hiding in the deepest part of the volcano, finally revealed his true body in the most ferocious and distorted form.

Alexander was still fighting in the magma below the big snake, punching the big snake continuously.

Lackard's eyes moved down, and the snake's neck twisted irregularly, allowing him to catch a glimpse of Alexander under him and Patch on his face.

Lakade's smile grew stronger, with relief, more like a complacent expression, and stretched out his right hand.

The giant hand, which is quite petite compared to the snake's body, stretched out to the top of the head - above the neck of the big snake, where the snake's head was.

The big hand was stuffed into the mouth of the big snake, and a sword was pulled out from the mouth of the snake.

The undigested corpse fell out with Shekou's giant sword, fell into the magma and was burned to death.More corpses were attached to the surface of the sword, turning into swelling tentacles of flesh and blood, thirsting for fresh flesh and blood.

Under the ferocious blood-red cover, one can vaguely see the original sacred gold-plated and decorative patterns on the sword body.It is the holy sword held in the portrait of Lakad.

Pulling out the holy sword, Lakad's limbs and face danced lightly along with the snake's body, enjoying himself.Rackard lowered his eyes, with a hint of madness in his smile:
"All of you...become members of my Snake King's family, and devour gods together!"

It was impossible to tell whether it was the snake that devoured the king of fragments, or the demigod that devoured the old snake, and the two merged together in the most profane and twisted form.

The giant snake state just now can bring fear just by its size, but now with such a distorted state, Se Lian is more cautious and keeps Neferi away.

Serlian's caution was correct, Lackard didn't wait any longer, the muscles all over the snake's body tangled up, abruptly bouncing that terrifying body up.

Taking off with the body of a snake, he didn't move much, just jumped on the spot. This seemed to be a stupid movement, but after his body size increased to such an extent, he felt that the sky was overwhelming.

The big snake fell, shaking the ground, and countless magma gushed out from under the snake, like a volcano erupting, sputtering lava in all directions.

A ball of lava blasted towards Nefeli, broke through Nefeli's storm directly, and blasted the two of them out.

The two fell to the ground, and the golden-blue shield protected them.

"Fortunately, it's far away, otherwise it would be too late." Se Lian pulled Neferi up, and was about to take off the protective cover and leave.

As soon as he raised his magic staff, another giant bombarded him from the sky, smashing straight at the protective shields of the two of them.Under the distortion of the force field, the giant from top to bottom turned into an upward projection, and then slowed down under the influence of gravity, and fell not far away, creating a big hole.

The giant fell into the pit and spoke:
"I'm stuck!"

A closer look revealed that it was Alexander.He was the closest to the big snake just now, and was sent flying by the big snake's ass.

"I can't win." Se Lian looked at the giant snake, "Let's retreat first."

After Lakad took control of the snake body, his flaws were obviously reduced a lot, and the wisdom of the demigod began to recover, and he could no longer attack it with the means of dealing with wild beasts.

Nefeli whipped up a strong wind, pulled Alexander out with a bang, and led Selian back to the edge of the audience hall where Wuming and the others were.

"Where's Patch?" Yura asked.

"I saw it just now..." Seren looked at Lackard's face.

Patch was still hanging on Lackard's face. The huge earthquake just now was buffered by layers of the snake's body, but it didn't shake him down.

"Patch is at Lackard's weak point." Su Lian guessed, "Maybe he has a way?"

Although Lakade's face looked cold and hard, it was relatively safe. After all, Lakade could not control the snake body to slam his face, or raise the holy sword to cut himself.

Patch became the hope of the whole caravan for a while.

But the hope didn't last long, Lakad really didn't hit Patch hard with the holy sword or his body, he opened his mouth.

The man's mouth wasn't wide open, and it didn't look aggressive, but what gushed out of the mouth were countless fiery resentful souls.

The countless people devoured by the big snake turned into resentful souls in a painful and distorted posture, and rushed towards the living.

The smoldering wraith began to explode, blasting at Patch like firecrackers.

Patch couldn't stand anymore, and fell off the snake's face.

Lakad turned around, and the side of the snake head saw the opportunity, and prepared to send Paqi into his stomach with a huge mouth, so that he would also become a resentful soul and a clansman.

"Uncle Patch!" Laya exclaimed.

Nefeli looked at Patch in the distance and sighed.She knew that her speed would not be able to bring him back.

Big snake, too big.

Nefeli looked at Wuming, if anyone present could do it, it would be Wuming.

Nefeli froze, Wuming didn't look at the fallen Patch, but looked up.

Higher and farther overhead than the serpent.

The dome, which was shrouded in red mist and could not see the sky, was broken by a slender and bright light. The light broke through layers of thick fog and landed directly above the snake's head.

The ray of light pierced the snake's head and sank into the ground.

As if the snake's head had been hit hard, its mouth closed and its head drooped.

Paqi stepped on the snake's head as a buffer and landed safely.

"What is that?" Neferi was surprised.

"What did you do?" Selian looked at Wuming.

Nameless shook his head: "I don't know, maybe that's what Patch is hiding."

Patch fell to the ground, but was still in front of the big snake, not completely out of danger.

A successful blow is just a chance to win a breather.The big snake was hit by an unknown object, and under the fury, it jumped high again.

This time the big snake had a significant displacement, and was about to press Patch completely under him.With Patch's speed, there was no chance of running out of this position.

If it had Yura's long fangs, it might be possible to cut a hole in the snake's body to hide in, but now... maybe it can only find a way to dig a hole in the ground.

Patch crouched and literally reached for the ground.

Then the big snake fell, the ground shook again, lava overflowed, and Patch was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone stared at the bottom of the big snake with some worry.

Laya clasped her hands nervously, stretched her neck, wishing she could reach under the big snake's territory:

"Uncle Patch all right..."

"It's okay, I have no other skills, but I can live. I'm very lucky." Paqi stretched his neck to follow behind Laya.

"Wow!" Laya was startled and almost fell down.

"How did you get here?" Selian was also very surprised, looking at the side of the big snake, and then at the place where Patch appeared.

Wuming was also quite surprised:
"When did you learn the move of the red turban?"

Patch threw a piece of white wax stone as warm as jade in his hand: "Such a useful escape method, of course we must learn it."

"I don't even know it." Nameless said.

"Everything you encounter is pushed flat, how could you?"

"Then we won't be able to build a better business route." Unnamed was surprised.

"Give me a little more." Patch said, "What kind of occasion is this, don't take it seriously."

"What are you doing seriously?" Wuming asked back.

"Seriously..." Patch subconsciously clenched his weapon and looked at Rackard, suddenly realizing what Wuming meant.

Lakad's death was the reason why he insisted on killing the big snake. Tanith was already a widow, and he couldn't watch her remain a widow.

But now that Lakad is still alive, what reason does Patch have to continue to attack the big snake.

"Do you want to continue?" Wuming looked at Patch, and a simple sentence disturbed Patch's heart.

"We're already at war." Nefeli said, "It's all like this, can we stop?"

Patch scratched his bald head irritably, and gritted his teeth:

"Let's go, ma'am, you go first too—"

Tanis stared at Lakad intently, speechless with excitement, as if she didn't notice what Patch said at all.

"I knew it, as I said, my king is still alive, and the volcano hasn't fallen yet..." Tanis was so excited that all the pressure seemed to disappear with Lakad's appearance.

As if sensing Tanis's feelings, the big snake turned to look in Tanis' direction.

The long distance was just a few twists and turns in front of the big snake's body, and the big snake almost roared with strong wind and roar, approaching Tanis and the unknown group of people.

Everyone tensed up, and Patch raised his shield, ready to cover the evacuation of others from the tunnel.

But the big snake didn't attack, and the snake's pupils were reversed. It seemed to be observing Tanis.

Tanis opened her arms to the giant snake without saying a word, and even danced a few simple dance steps, flamboyant and beautiful.

"What are you doing?" Patch was anxious and annoyed at Tanise's initiative to make herself more conspicuous.

"My king will eat people when he wakes up." Tanis said, "It's time for me to become a member of the clan. You can leave safely, and I will become a member of my royal clan. There is still hope for the volcano. This is the best result."

Tanis said to Laya:
"Look Laya, this is your father. Mom didn't lie to you. Your father is really a great king."

Laya was not as happy as Tanis. Looking at the too huge Lakad, she was a little scared and didn't dare to speak.

"you--"

Patch wanted to reprimand loudly, but when he looked at Tanith, he saw an expression he had never seen before.Joyful, jumping, with a girlish blush, with hope and ambition.It was a look Patch had never seen before.

The look of joy made Patch's anger suddenly dissipate. He sighed and picked up the spear with his shoulders slumped:
"gone."

"Let's go now?" Wuming asked.

"Obviously the emotional value provided by Lackard is much higher than mine, and he can regain his sanity. It seems that there is no other force intervening in it." Patch said.

"It's all here, don't you stay any longer?" Wuming asked again.

"There's a Geoffrey out there, so get out of this place," Patch said. "We're just dung beetles, and it's not good being caught among great kings."

Patch bites the word "great king" very hard.

"Let's wait a little longer." This time, Wuming, who had always refused to attack the big snake, began to persuade him to stay, "Yura should not want to leave."

Yura was very unwilling, but he also knew that without the help of Paqi and others, he had no chance of winning in the face of the more powerful Lakad.

Moreover, the big snake who has no sanity but only knows how to devour, and Lakad who can communicate after waking up, are they considered a person?Should the same hatred be carried, this question suddenly troubled Yura.

Yura can also bypass the serpent and pour out his wrath on Tanith.But Tanith is about to be eaten too.And Yula knew in her heart that no one could blame Eleonora for this result, but herself.His own rage had nothing to do with Eleonora's death, it was just the ripples of despair when hope was shattered.And no matter how angry I am, that hope will never come back.

Yura also drooped his shoulders: "Let's go."

Yura and Patch walked side by side, toward the tunnel.

"They're like two dogs." Wu Ming pointed to their lonely backs.

"How can you say that." Nefeli was a little annoyed.She felt that she was the only person on the scene who could empathize with the two of them.

Nameless smiled and asked the staff to follow Patch, then turned around and shouted at Tanis:

"Ma'am, should we still take Laya?"

Tanis thought for a moment, then pushed Laya out:

"Laya, follow the caravan and leave. You are not suitable for the life of the volcano. It is my fault. Go, the life outside is more suitable for you. Remember what I told you about the treasure outside? Remember to give the merchant team, but remember to save some too - take care of yourself."

When Laya heard this, she was a little at a loss, and even shed tears sadly.

She doesn't want to leave her mother, but she also knows that her mother will be eaten soon, and Laya understands that it is impossible for her to regard being turned into a piece of rotten meat in the snake's belly as a reunion of mother and daughter.

Thinking of leaving her mother forever, Laya didn't want to leave even more. She wanted to accompany Tanis to the last moment, but she didn't want to face the scene where her mother was eaten.

Wuming looked at Laya's tangled and sad expression:

"Looks like I have to think about it for a while—we'll run along the way we came after we've made up our minds, and we'll wait for you."

Saying Wuming also left the tunnel, catching up with Patch and the others.

Tanis looked at Paqi who disappeared into the tunnel, with tenderness in her eyes, she handed the castanets to Laya:

"Child, mother has no chance to teach you how to dance. Your Uncle Patch seems to understand, you can ask him to learn - dance to him. Their caravan is also looking for a cabaret, you can get a job, on your own the power to live."

Laya wiped her tears: "Mom, why don't you go with Uncle Paqi?"

"If Mom was your age, she would probably go with him." Tanith said, "But people change, time and experience change everything. Mom has chosen her own path, and you have to decide your own future. It's time to grow up."

After Tanis gave Laya instructions, she turned to look at the big snake, was startled suddenly, and then smiled.

The big snake has turned around, revealing Lakad's face, with a hazy softness in his eyes:

"Oh, Tanith, you're still here."

Tanis lowered her eyebrows and bent down to salute:

"My lord, I have not left you. The volcano needs your leadership."

Lakad pondered for a moment, did not respond to Tanis, but said:

"The people you brought are very good. The quality of the people last time was very good, and the quantity this time is good."

"It's all for our cause," Tanith said.

"But they're gone," Lackard said.

Tanis said: "They are not clansmen, and I have prepared better sacrifices."

Tanise stepped on the dance steps and spun around, showing off her beautiful figure to the fullest.It was the fiery dance that once attracted Rackard, and Tanise knew that it was also her last dance.

"Oh, very good." Lakad's eyes became more and more hazy and soft, as if he was gently swaying his body with the dance.

……

Patch and Selian were drawing some kind of magic circle on the ground, preparing to connect to the one-way portal that sent them here out of thin air.

"Slow down, wait for Laya." Wuming said, "It just happens to be repaired."

Paqi kept saying, "You should have brought Laya out directly. The child shouldn't have heard the sound of his mother being torn apart."

"You don't want to hear it either," Wuming said.

Patch paused, then continued to draw the magic circle.

Seeing that Paqi couldn't persuade him, Wuming approached Yula who had nothing to do:

"Yula, the way we came here was exhausting. The corridor we came from was blown down. Did you wake up the big snake?"

Yura thought for a while:
"It should be, but I was buried in a pile of corpses. I can hear it moving for a long time, but I don't know where it went."

"When you came, was that the corridor you walked through?" Wuming asked, "There are many snake people in the corridor."

Yula nodded: "At that time, I hadn't found the big snake yet. I didn't know how far the road was. I didn't want to bother with the snake man. It took a lot of effort to sneak all the way."

"Oh, it's not too long since you provoked the big snake to us, even though it's midnight. In such a short period of time, the snake people disappeared, and the big snake fell asleep again." Wuming said, "It's like eating enough. It's like drinking enough."

Patch paused again, looking at Wuming:

"What do you mean?"

"Bloodline," Wuming said, "Obviously bloodline is the source of the strength of the demigods. The fact that the old snake can grow so huge is inseparable from swallowing the demigod. Gregor is so weak, and it has something to do with bloodline."

Nameless One Finger Patch:
"Then whose blood is thicker?"

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Patch was a little annoyed now, and he was in no mood to guess riddles with Anonymous.

"The first generation is the purest, and the second generation is the second." Wuming said, "If there is no second generation nearby, then we can only settle for the next best thing—find the blood of the third generation—that is, those who can be regarded as the descendants of Lakad Snake people."

Nameless looked to the other side of the tunnel:
"Look, Tanis also said that the big snake wanted to eat something when he woke up, but Lakad let us go. What would he eat? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely not like Tanis's meat , it’s not enough to fit between the teeth. I can indeed feel it—snakes are the fattest and most nutritious food—that happens to be Tanis’s reverse scale.”

Nameless looked at Patch thoughtfully:

"You said Tanise's beloved husband wanted to eat her beloved daughter, how would she react?"

Patch froze for a moment, then sprinted down the tunnel.
