Mysterious Hunting Ground

Chapter 274 264. Phantom Snake

Dean looked around.

In front is an arched hall. The temperature is much higher than that in the cave, and it is as warm as spring.

The height of the vault is more than 20 meters above the ground. Within the range illuminated by fluorescent lichen, the terrain is as vast as a football field. The walls and ceilings have been carefully polished and are as smooth as mirrors, which is completely different from the narrow and primitive caves before.

On the central platform of the hall stand four huge columns supporting the vault, with spherical patterns engraved on the surface, like intertwined planets and various constellations.

There is a row of neat holes on the wall on the right, and bright red viscous liquid flows out, sliding along the grooves on the wall into the ditches around the hall, and forming a circle around the central platform.

The liquid was steaming, with fine pieces of meat floating on the surface, emitting a strong fishy and rusty smell.

Seth's four newly born snake monsters couldn't help but wiggle their noses, sprouted fangs and claws, grew scales, spit out letters and hissed hungrily, but their eyes were extremely struggling.

Resisting the bloodthirsty instinct.

"It's all freshly squeezed blood..." Dean muttered, "So the flesh and blood crushed by the huge juicer under the bar will be transported into this hall to feed it."

"Who do you support?" Katie trembled.
"The true owner of this temple, the supreme being in the Blood Sacrifice Gang - the Phantom Snake," Professor Ayden looked towards the deepest part of the platform. In the dim darkness, there was a huge, long and narrow creature.

Just seeing its hill-like outline, everyone felt a strong shock of staring at a prehistoric beast.

Among them, the four-headed snake demons Seth and Jacob trembled involuntarily, and fell to their knees as soon as their knees became weak.

"Are you crazy, Seth? Did you get an arrow in your knee? Get up quickly?" Ricky pulled his brother's shoulder and tried to pull him up, but he couldn't pull him up.

"Shet, I can't control myself," Seth's scaly face was covered with beads of sweat, and he unconsciously showed an expression of respect, "It seems that another force is controlling me."

After saying that, he raised his hands and knelt down in the direction of the black shadow.

Scott and Gonzalez followed closely, their cheeks pressed against the cold ground, their bodies humbled into the dirt.

Dean and Aiden shook their heads when they saw this. It seemed that in addition to being bloodthirsty, the snake demon also had a fatal flaw in its fanatical worship of the source of blood.

"God bless..." Only Jacob blushed and bent back desperately, resisting the mysterious call,

"Stop struggling, just obey it." Katie said anxiously, "Don't hurt yourself!"

"I will never worship pagan gods!" Jacob prayed in a hoarse voice, "Mother of God, please send your holy angels to protect us and keep the devil away from us, Amen!"

"Quiet!" Dean used his telekinesis to forcefully freeze the trembling bodies of the four snake monsters.

But the existence entrenched in the darkness in the distance had already noticed their movements.

sizzle...

The black shadow rose into the air, pressed its head against the vault, swung its conical tail and rubbed the ground, spread out a pair of huge wings on its side, and flew towards the entrance of the cave, making short, piercing screams along the way.

The poisonous snakes lingering outside the cave entrance all crawled on the ground, not daring to look up.

And Dean felt as if the air in the hall had solidified, and the surrounding air pressure increased tenfold in vain, squeezing his body everywhere, forcing him to kneel forward, and the bones in his body cracked as if they were about to be broken. .

The people around him couldn't resist the pressure and lay on the ground one after another, unable to move, like the most devout believers.

Dean bit the tip of his tongue, and the fishy sweetness poured into his mouth. He felt refreshed and waved his hand violently, using his giant palm of mind to move his companions to the hidden corners on both sides of the hall.

Three layers of protection including life shield, ghost armor, and telekinesis shield wrapped around his body. Firearms, bombs, arrows, spears... extraordinary weapons flew out of the fantasy space and lingered behind him, swirling a blur of light.

He held his breath for a second.

The huge figure burst into view.

It has a head as big as a truck and a dark brown snake body that is more than 20 meters long. Its whole body is covered with scales and bright feathers. The dense feathers on its tail streak across the ground like countless jointed limbs swinging neatly, making an amazing sound. The sound of teeth grinding.

And where its head and body meet, there is a pair of colorful wings, which flap gently to make its upper body stand upright.

The death, decay, and fishy smell accumulated by this ancient creature for hundreds of years condensed in the dark pupils, exuding a dazzling light.

Dean looked up uncontrollably and looked directly into these eyes, and then he saw a magnificent illusion from the two vertical pupils - a hole suddenly opened in the chaotic darkness, and the bright Milky Way poured out, like colorful It spreads like a ribbon in the dark world, rolling endlessly.

A loud and majestic hiss echoed in Dean's mind. He was obviously a human being, but at this time he could understand the meaning of the sound without any hindrance.

"I am darkness and light."

"I am the past and the future."

"I am the universe."

"Open your heart and accept my will, the secrets of the starry sky will appear before your eyes, and eternal life will be imprinted into your body."

"You and I will be immortal together!"

Dean's mind was buzzing, and he stood there in a daze.

But the "Mirror Shield" specialty on the panel flickered, and his powerful will came into play. His dilated pupils regrouped, and he suddenly woke up from the grand illusion of the universe and the brainwashing magic sound.

Then he found that he had left the ground at some point and was standing on a dark red, elastic, bifurcated front end, and a carpet-like snake letter.

Half a meter in front, the giant pale human face of the phantom snake was facing his body, with two huge eyeballs on the left and right shining at him like lanterns. It opened its big mouth, revealing its black hole-like mouth and throat.

But it didn't intend to swallow Dean in one gulp, but instead made an extremely evil move——

A slender poisonous snake came out of its throat. The dark brown body of the poisonous snake was crawling in the air. It opened its clamp-like mouth and opened and closed its two fangs to bite Dean's neck, trying to seal him. Some kind of imprint.

If you are bitten, you will lose your freedom!

Are you going to imprison me like the Queen of the Night?

With a strong intuition surging, Dean reached out and recalled a long knife from behind.

Hands clasped.

The physical power, mental power, and life energy converged on the arc-shaped blade in an instant, cutting down with lightning and flint.

The phantom snake didn't seem to expect that the other party would wake up. It was caught off guard, and the poisonous snake spit out of its mouth was cut off by the sharp blade.

Dean continued to chop, and cut off the dark red carpet-like Nobuko under his feet!
In one tenth of a breath, the giant snake was severely injured. Dean put the dead snake head into the space and teleported away to the innermost part of the hall a hundred meters away.

next second.

A deafening roar erupted behind him, and invisible air shock waves spread out around the giant snake's huge body.

The giant snake swung its huge tail and slapped the ground and walls like a catharsis.

Earthshaking!

The entire hall felt as if it had been hit by an eight-magnitude earthquake. Countless gravels flew away, dust clouds rose, and the four central pillars shook violently. Blood beads splashed out from the ditch, staining the ground red.

Jacob and the others in the corner groaned and fainted.

In this terrifying movement.

Dean, who was a hundred meters away, only had a slight numbness in his brain and no real damage.

But he didn't pursue him. A deep intuition prompted him to lower his head.

Next to the bloody ditch in the deepest part of the platform lay dozens of skeletal snake monsters, connected end to end in a circle, falling into a deep coma.

Dean's eyes swept over one of the women with long black hair shawl and a thin face. He was surprised to find that the outline of the woman's facial features was sixty-nine times similar to his.

Then a familiar feeling of blood connection came up——

This is the woman they have been searching for.

Lena lies in the heart of the temple, in the lair of the Phantom Snake.

The progress of "Bloodline" has jumped to 60.00%.

"Shadow" was shocked, and tears like liquid moonstone flowed from his eyes.

"Lena? I finally found you!" "Found you!"

But before Dean and Shadow could wake up Lena, the earthquake at the entrance of the cave stopped, and black lantern-like eyes glanced over from a distance across the four pillars, their pupils boiling with terrifying murderous intent.

Dean immediately understood the meaning in its eyes.

The ant-like humans refused to transform and shamelessly attacked it, only to receive death in return!

Swish!
Dean and Shadow moved Lena to a secret corner, and in a flash they were far away from the place where the snake demon hibernated——

It is impossible to take Lena away without dealing with the phantom snake.

shhhhh!

Dean took the lead in launching an attack, recalling the Full Moon Bow from the group of weapons hovering behind him, stringing the bow, dancing with the afterimage of his hands, and fired ten bursts of magic-breaking arrows towards the eyes of the phantom snake, and at the same time activated the suppression of perception.

The moment the arrow hit the phantom snake, it was bounced away by the strong force field around it. Not even a feather was scratched, but the suppressed power quietly penetrated into its body, weakening its sensory attributes.

The light in front of the phantom snake dimmed a little, but this weak change could not dispel its attack intention.

Its huge body curled up into an S shape, then suddenly relaxed, and fluttered towards Dean on the opposite side. Its colorful feathers shone in the air, swinging rhythmically like rows of oars, and its outstretched wings were like A paraglider casts a shadow over the ground.

The white light that filled his body was like the sun at noon, piercing Dean's eyes and almost blinding him.

Dean also made a judgment in his mind. This thing has at least seventy or eighty tons of power, so there is no way to fight head-on!

You can only fly a kite!
Dean shot two arrows at it, then turned and flew away, changing directions.

Boom!

The phantom snake hit the stone wall hard.

In the flying sand and dust, the shadow on the other side of the platform opened its field, reducing its attributes by ten percent and adding a second negative effect.

At the same time, he manipulated the heat to condense pieces of pale ice crystals on the scales and feathers of the phantom snake, limiting its speed and vitality.

The size of the phantom snake is too large, and the impact of ice crystals is limited and slow.

But the triple negative effects take effect simultaneously.

Its moving speed became slightly slower than Dean's. In the ensuing chase, it passed by Dean several times by a hair's breadth, causing cracks in the surrounding walls and causing terrifying earthquakes.

Dust rises in the air.

Lichen flashes green.

If one looks from a distance, one can spot a brightly colored giant snake chasing a nimble and leaping shooter through the hall.

The colorful wings fluttered.

The giant snake squirmed, twisted, flew, and rampaged, bringing endless cracks, gravel, and vibrations, as if it was going to crush the entire world into ruins.

However, the archer can always narrowly avoid the impact. His flexibility and accurate prediction are breathtaking. In the middle of the attack, the bow and arrow in his hand were replaced by a rocket launcher and a grenade launcher, blasting out balls of flames at the giant snake.

After a minute of stalemate.

The vision of the phantom snake began to blur and double images appeared. It realized that something was wrong, and its body shook. It radiated outwards with circles of spatial ripples visible to the naked eye, opening up a new realm.

Wisps of green smoke moved up and down in the field like a living thing. When it touched Dean's life shield, it crazily got in, ignited and melted it, and the speed was heart-stopping.

If left unchecked, the shield will be completely lifted in less than half a minute!

"Toxic field?"

With a solemn expression, Dean released the life energy accumulated in his cells to replenish the shield.

Ying Ze waved his hand forward, and dozens of extraordinary weapons hovering behind him shot out, turning into a silver torrent and bombarding the key points on the back of the phantom snake's neck, exploding into a large piece of brilliant light like fireworks in mid-air.

But the protective force field outside the body of this giant beast was incredibly strong, almost able to withstand missiles, and was spread all over its body. Only a few clusters of feathers and scales fell off under repeated bombardments.

Its speed suddenly increased, and it moved close to the ground like lightning. It first leaned down, and then raised its upper body. Its huge wings rolled up sand and gravel, and its fangs dripping with venom on the human face opened and closed. In the process, it scratched hard. A swaying pillar, the body also wrapped around it, curled up, and then ejected towards Dean.

Fishy wind blowing.

Several arrows roared out from the full moon bow that Dean had drawn, hitting the flying body of the phantom snake.

Just as he was about to dodge to the right, a strange illusion suddenly appeared in front of him. The giant snake split to the left and right, from one to three, occupying all the space for dodge.

This extremely confusing scene made Dean hesitate for a moment, and he continued to move to the right based on his intuition.

He chose the right direction, but he lost the opportunity for a moment of hesitation. The phantom snake in the center whipped out its huge tail like a whip, and with a terrifying whirring sound, it suddenly hit his side.

crackle!

The huge force of seventy tons instantly shattered the life shield and shattered half of Dean's body.

He was like a burst water bag, spurting out blood and pieces of flesh, dragging a shocking red mist in mid-air, flying dozens of meters, and hit the rock wall at the entrance of the cave.

A human-shaped dent was created with a pop, and the entrance to the cave collapsed.

Dean's clothes were torn and he fell to the ground in a shapeless shape.

Immediately, the platinum flames around him boiled, and the iron man's expertise and abnormal self-healing took effect at the same time. The bloody body healed quickly, and strong and hard muscles grew.

……

Finally hitting this "little mouse" jumping around, a blush appeared on the pale face of the phantom snake. The blood and pain made it intoxicated. The scales pulsed gently in celebration.

But it has been hit by a large number of long-range attacks with sensory suppression, and its vision, hearing, smell, and sixth sense have been greatly reduced without realizing it.

So much so that he didn't notice the attack from the side at all.

A flash of silver light.

The shadow rolled the silver storm-like weapons and blasted into the phantom snake's open mouth, the only place without force field protection.

Puff puff... cut repeatedly like a meat grinder.

The snake's mouth, throat, and trachea were all removed in an instant.

The two fangs were thrown away, and most of the phantom snake's face was shattered into dark red minced meat, revealing the dense white bones.

Ahhhhh!
While wailing shrilly, the breath it exhaled from its chest and abdomen shook away the weapons, and the wings on its back folded forward to form a helmet to block the attack on its mouth.

It rushed towards the blood channel at the edge of the platform, buried its face in it and swallowed it, the oozing wound healing quickly on its own.

……

Do I still need to eat to heal myself?
At the edge of the cave, Dean got up from the ground and watched this scene after recovering from his injuries.
"Is it because the body is huge that the consumption is huge?"

"But I finally found the weak point and attacked the inside of the body through the eating mouth. I can overcome the defensive force field and severely damage this beast!"

As soon as he turned his eyes, Seth and Gonzalez woke up from their coma in disgrace, looking into the distance and nervously gathered around.
"Man, let's fight side by side and kill this monster together!"

"We can heal ourselves and are not afraid of getting hurt!"

"Destroy this monster to escape!"

"Can you take action against gods? Didn't you instinctively worship and fear the phantom snake before?"

"Just now, these anomalies disappeared." Jacob looked at the monster sipping the blood fountain in the distance with complicated eyes. "We seem to have got rid of a shackles and are no longer afraid of it."

Dean thought for a moment, and suddenly realized that the snake head he originally brought into the space must have a lot of background. If he beheaded it, the phantom snake would also lose the power to command the snakes.

"Then protect yourself, and I hope we can see the sun again together!"

Dean nodded to everyone, took out the bow and arrow, and with the bow string buzzing, he flew towards the phantom snake again!
