Chapter 253 Reversal (Two chapters in one)

After killing Genis, Ryan used his backhand to hit the poisonous sea snake that was biting him with a heavy hammer, which immediately made the poisonous sea snake dizzy on the spot with its eyes blank.

Ryan took advantage of the situation and escaped from the bloody mouth of the poisonous sea snake.

However, at this time, the extremely toxic sea snake venom also began to take effect, and Ryan could clearly feel a dizziness coming from his brain.

Fortunately, Ryan has Breaking Bad's core skill 'Anti-poison Constitution (Passive)', otherwise, he would have fainted at this moment and died of poisoning in a few moments.

However, when the poisonous sea snake jumped out of the pool just now, Ryan thought about how to solve this problem.

Otherwise, he would not have risked being bitten by a poisonous sea snake and hammered the female four-armed naga to death.

But it has to be dealt with immediately and can’t be delayed any longer.

Ryan lifted the dizzy poisonous sea snake's head in front of him, and quickly put his hand on the huge sea snake's head, and immediately used the beast priest's signature skill - 'Beast Vitality'.

Suddenly, a surge of heat was drawn from the body of the large ferocious and highly poisonous sea snake into Ryan's body.

This heat flow has the effect of restoring energy and healing injuries, and it also brings a feeling of comfort that is several times greater than soaking in a hot spring when you are physically tired.

Ryan narrowed his eyes, feeling the heat flowing rapidly in his body, and constantly fighting against the damage caused by the poison!

On one side is destruction, on the other side is repair!

Since large ferocious beasts have extremely strong vitality, although the upper limit of the vitality and vigor that Ryan can absorb is only 30% of the total amount of the poisonous sea snake, it still exceeds the total vitality of a human knight.

Soon, the poison could no longer withstand the heat flow and began to slowly dissipate.

The remaining vitality was used to rapidly heal the numerous wounds on Ryan's body caused by Genis's four weapons.

A few seconds later, when Ryan stood up again, he looked full of energy and his injuries had basically recovered.

If most of this heat flow had not been used to offset the damage of the poison, his injuries would have been completely healed at this moment, but now, it is not much different.

Sure enough, the legendary profession is different!
The core skill of the beast priest, 'Beast Vitality', is comparable to a divine skill. It can not only restore energy, but also heal injuries.

This time, Ryan used his own poison resistance that far exceeded that of an ordinary person, plus the tremendous vitality drawn from the poisonous sea snake, to offset the opponent's poison damage.

Ryan looked down.

Although the poisonous sea snake was still alive, it was lying on the ground with a listless look. After being hit on the head by a hammer and having a large amount of vitality drained away, it was dying and unable to move.

However, Ryan was not a soft-hearted person. He immediately used a "shockwave" to open the top of the poisonous sea snake, allowing it to follow the footsteps of the female four-armed naga.
As master and servant, they must be neat and tidy!

However, after the poisonous sea snake died, Ryan also heard a slight hissing sound in his ears, like a giant snake spitting out its tongue, which subtly disturbed his mind.

Ryan knew that this was the side effect of using 'Beast Vitality', but if it was only used once in a short period of time, it would not have much impact.

After a few hours, the influence of this beast soul will naturally dissipate.

In addition, since he was at the other end of the hall, far away from Alyosha and the others, in the dim environment, the other party could at most recognize that he bent down, and would mistakenly think that he was searching for spoils, but would not realize that he had used some strange ability to recover from his injuries.

Without hesitation, Ryan turned around and planned to rescue Alyosha and his imperial colleagues who were also hanging.

However, just as he turned around, Ryan suddenly discovered.

Not far in front of him, there was actually a long bluestone wall passage that extended deeper into the cave. About a hundred meters away, there was a layer of almost transparent water film emitting a light blue color.

This layer of light film seems to block out the noise!
Otherwise, the two extremely loud "roaring war cries" from Ryan just now would definitely spread there.

Out of curiosity, Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at it carefully.

In the dim light, fortunately Ryan had dark vision, so he could see through the water film and clearly see that there was actually a hall inside, the style and materials were the same as this hall.

But what shocked Ryan inexplicably was that at the end of the hall there seemed to be a bronze metal door dozens of meters high, and there seemed to be intricate patterns and designs on the surface of the door.

The pattern looks like shells and conchs?
In front of the metal gate, there is an altar whose function is unknown.

There was a brazier around the altar, burning with some kind of dark green flame, and in the middle was a seven or eight meter tall stone multi-armed naga.

To Ryan's surprise, those busy around the altar were all humans, not murlocs or blood-cursed nagas.

In addition, the robes of these humans are all embroidered with various strange marine creatures, such as starfish, giant squid and other ferocious sea beasts.
"This seems to be the attire style of the Poseidon Cult?"

Ryan recalled that in a general education course he had taken, the instructor had talked about some typical cult attire styles.

But at this moment, Ryan's ears moved slightly, and he heard the increasingly clear noise and fighting sounds coming from behind him.

"Are they the group of people who went straight through the passage before? Are they coming over?"

This made Ryan realize instantly that the battle in the previous straight passage might have spread to this place.

So, Ryan did not continue to observe, but immediately turned around and dragged the body of the female Blood Curse Naga towards the row of cages. He planned to rescue the target person Alyosha and the captured imperial colleagues who were hanging in the cages first.

Although he was curious about the bronze gate and the statue, he had no plans to explore them at the moment.

He was very clear about the goal of this mission, which was to rescue Alyosha. Of course, saving these imperial colleagues as well might increase the mission evaluation or give him other rewards.

As for why he dragged the female Naga's corpse, it was because Ryan planned to ask them whether this was worth merit points or something else.

After all, he felt that this female Blood Curse Naga was very powerful and should be very "valuable"!
At this time, Ryan casually glanced at the system prompt:

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +1121]

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and your experience value is +2378]

[You have experienced a battle, Beast Sacrifice (Legendary) experience +296]

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +1909]

(Note: The above skills and experience have enjoyed a 30% increase in the exclusive talent 'Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension'.)
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 2 gold skill point! 】

[Congratulations, your Beast Priest (Legendary) class level has been upgraded! ]

"Ok?"

"The weapon master didn't level up, but the beast priest did?"

"It should be because of the use of the core skill 'Beast Vitality'?"

"The target is a large ferocious sea beast, so the experience is particularly high?" Ryan vaguely guessed.

雷恩看了下系统面板，发现野兽祭祀（传奇）职业等级从lv2→lv3（12/500），武器大师（传奇）则是lv7进度条过了大半。

With the upgrade of Beast Sacrifice (Legendary), he also gained one attribute point and one skill point again.

Since he used up two points in the previous battle, he now has 13 attribute points remaining, 1 skill point remaining, and 2 gold skill points.

When Ryan's figure appeared from one end of the hall, he was dragging a corpse in his hand.

The people who were hanging couldn't help but cheer!
Although they did not see clearly how Ryan defeated the powerful Naga leader due to the long distance, they knew that they were saved!

Even though it was an honor to die for the empire, no one present would choose to be a martyr if they could survive.

Alyosha clenched his fists, blushed, and murmured excitedly:

"This Lord Ryan is truly amazing. I wonder where my father found such an amazing young man!"

At the entrance of the lobby.

That was the straight passage where Ryan had heard the sound of fighting.

The Rock Squad of the Munster Sword Bearers Division was fighting and retreating. The backbone of the team's defense was a muscular man holding a shield and covered in wounds, and a young man holding a short staff.

If Ryan was at the scene, he would definitely be able to recognize these two people.

These two men were the two sword-bearers who rode griffins to Meister to deal with the Black Flame Cult.

Behind them were four other men and women in different attire, and they seemed to be members of the same team as the shield-wielding man.

However, these people, like their captain, did not look in good condition. Their armor was damaged or their clothes were tattered, and their faces looked listless.

In stark contrast to the exhausted state of the Rock Team, their opponents were led by a female Blood Curse Naga who was very similar to Gneiss killed by Ryan. The opponent's gorgeous human female had a relaxed smile on her face and was unharmed.

Unlike Gneiss, this female Naga also has four arms, but only one of them holds a gray wooden staff about 1.5 meters long with a spiral top.

She was seen waving her wooden staff from time to time, commanding her group of white-scaled fishmen, various sea beasts and seven or eight male blood-cursed nagas to attack the Rock Team.

The opponent is so powerful, no wonder the Rock Team was beaten so badly.

However, the sea creatures led by this female naga seemed to be driving away the Rock Team. They did not attack with all their strength, but instead launched the attack leisurely.

"Captain, there is a fork in the road ahead. The missing Imperial military personnel should be there." A man in a gray robe and holding a crystal ball said quickly in front of the team.

"You four go in and check it out, Remiel and I will hold them off here!" the burly man holding the shield said in a deep voice.

At this moment, his face was bluish purple, as if he was poisoned.

The Remiel he called was the man with the short staff whom Ryan had met once before.

When the four members of the team heard Batista's words, they immediately nodded solemnly, knowing that the captain was creating an opportunity for them. Although the entire team had not suffered any casualties, they were already exhausted!
Their team's mission this time was to investigate the situation of an island altar and the life and death of the elite teams sent by the previous empires.

Unexpectedly, the sea tribe ambushed heavy troops around the altar. In addition, there was a secret under the altar, a deep cave was hidden. Moreover, there were traces of fierce fighting around the cave entrance, and it seemed that the empire's teams had penetrated deep into the cave.

They just rushed all the way here!

Fortunately, judging from the tracking magic just cast, the imperial elite should be nearby.

Several people followed Captain Batista's orders and immediately rushed towards the hall where Ryan was.

A few seconds later, when the four men quietly entered the hall and carefully checked, they were all stunned in an instant!

After looking at each other in confusion for a while, he walked carefully and slowly into the hall.

Inside the hall, what shocked them most was the circle of white-scaled fishmen lying neatly on the ground in a fan shape!
There were at least 20 or 30 of them.
As for the way of death, it can only be described as "spectacular"!

The scene before them made them gasp.

Be nice!

What attack caused this?
Even wheat harvesting is not so neat!

Soon after, they saw the two male Blood-Cursed Nagas who had died in different ways.

He covered his neck with both hands, lowered his head, and knelt down towards the entrance of the hall, as if confessing!
The other one died in an even more exaggerated way!

A silver two-handed sword pierced through the opponent's chest, and the tip of the sword stabbed into the hard bluestone floor. Perhaps because the sword was stabbed too fast, most of the blade penetrated the body, leaving only the hilt on the opponent's chest!
This also meant that the dead body of the male Blood Curse Naga did not fall to the ground, but was propped up on the ground at an angle. The greatsword and the opponent's upper body formed the two oblique sides of a triangle, thus forming a stable mutual support.

And when Ryan came over from the other end of the hall, dragging Genis's body, the four members of the Rock Team were already looking completely dumbfounded!
This... Is this the Blood Curse Naga Leader?
The four arms are female blood-cursed naga!
Can't go wrong.

It seems that all the sea creatures on the ground were killed by the young man in front of him.

But the white-scaled fishmen were fine, but the two male blood-cursed nagas and even the naga leader they were dragging along.
That's the Naga leader!

It’s still unclear whether our captain can win. The strength of this young man is too terrifying!
There is
How did the other party get here?
It took a lot of hardship for us to get here.

In an instant, several doubts and questions arose in the minds of the four people.

Ryan glanced at the other person, nodded, and said nothing.

When these people saw Ryan nodding at them, they couldn't help but feel flattered, as if they had received recognition from an important person, and they nodded twice in a hurry.

Ryan was a little surprised at the attitude of these new people.

However, he did not think much about it. Instead, he took back the big sword and quickly walked to the hanging cage against the wall. With two "swishes", he split all the cages and rescued the captured people.

"Finally we're out of trouble! Thank you! Are you Lord Ryan?" One of them came out of the cage where he was tied up and asked Ryan kindly.

"Huh?" Ryan was stunned and a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone here actually knew him.

"It seems to be Lord Ryan. My name is Braulio, and I am from the Sword Bearer Crazy Sand Squad. I have heard about your feat of knocking down the obsidian giant with one hammer during the rookie assessment."

"Brawlio, now is not the time for small talk, let's go out and talk." Another person who seemed to be his teammate smiled at Ryan, pulled Braulio's sleeve, and nodded towards the door of the hall.

"Look, who's here?"

Braulio turned around at this time, startled, and said in surprise: "It's Alves and the others from the Rock Team. I said, no matter how powerful Lord Ryan is, he still needs help, right?"

Ryan was stunned when he heard this.

Although he didn't know those four people, but the Rock Team?

This name seems familiar.
At this time, they seemed to hear Braulio's voice. The four members of the Rock Team ran up to the entrance of the hall and said, "Braulio, McKinney, we finally found you."

"Well, sir, thank you for your help!" The young man named Alvis was impressed by the momentum of Ryan dragging the Naga leader just now. He bowed respectfully and said.

"You're welcome. It's just a small favor." Ryan nodded.

"Alves, don't you know Mr. Ryan?" Braulio and McKinney, the two brothers who were rescued by Ryan, looked at each other in confusion.

Because they both thought of the same question at the same time, which was, "Alves doesn't know Mr. Ryan? So, Mr. Ryan is not here to save us?"

At this time, Ryan walked up to Alyosha who was rubbing his wrist, stopped, and asked with a smile: "Are you Alyosha?"

"Yes, Lord Ryan, thank you for saving me."

"Um, you are my father." Alyosha looked at Ryan curiously with his big eyes and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Yes, follow me closely and we'll talk outside." Ryan smiled.

He found that the girl in front of him had a bright round face, thin lips, and a small black mole on the lower left corner of her mouth. She looked like a girl next door, very friendly.

"Yes, Mr. Ryan." Alyosha smiled sweetly and nodded vigorously.

It feels so good to be saved from a desperate situation!
The seven elite soldiers of the empire who were rescued by Ryan were all stunned when they accidentally heard the conversation between Ryan and Alyosha.

They first looked at the four "ragged" friendly soldiers, then looked at Ryan who was talking to Alyosha, and suddenly realized that these four should be the real rescue team, and Sir Ryan was actually here to rescue Alyosha.

And they are just a sideline
For a moment, several people felt inexplicably emotional!
It’s great to have a great dad who can send such a great man to the rescue.

If it was before Lord Ryan came, even if these four young fools came in, they would have followed their footsteps and would all have been hung in the net cage.
"Oh no, I forgot the captain is still at the entrance of the hall." Alves slapped his thigh hard. He then remembered that he was so shocked that he forgot that Captain Batista and Remiel were still blocking the enemy.

Just as Alvis was about to ask everyone to leave, he immediately thought of something and quickly ran to Ryan and said, "Mr. Ryan, and this lady, let's leave here immediately."

"Our captain is in the passageway trying to stop the pursuing sea creatures. He won't be able to hold out for much longer!"

"Of course." Ryan nodded. He had the same idea.

After all, he didn't feel very good here, as if he was mentally depressed.

at the same time.

In the hall where the bronze door is located.

A middle-aged man wearing a robe in the style of the Sea God Cult respectfully walked to the side of a female six-armed Naga who was presiding over the ceremony, bowed slightly and said:
"High Priest Selinis, the witch formation just showed that the life fire of Commander Genis suddenly went out. Look..."

"Well, isn't Gnice stationed in the Hall of Omens?"

"Bashak, go and take a look. If there really is an intruder, you should know what to do."

"Yes, High Priest." A deep voice sounded in the corner of the bronze hall.

Then, the owner of the voice slowly walked out from the shadows.

This was a male blood-cursed naga that looked like a giant beast. He swung his unusually thick snake tail and passed through the water film.——
And in the Hall of Omens.

The rescued imperial elites immediately picked up weapons from the dead white-scaled fishmen and blood-cursed nagas, and then surrounded Ryan and quickly left towards the exit of the hall.

At this moment, there was a sudden explosion in the front, and then a sturdy man holding an axe and shield and a young man holding a short stick retreated into the hall in a rather embarrassed manner.

At the same time, he shouted angrily, "Alves, what are you guys doing? It took you so long to investigate."

As if he realized something was wrong, Batista turned his head suddenly and saw a group of people surrounding a young man who looked somewhat familiar and was walking out of the hall.

Remiel, who was holding a short staff, was even more surprised. His eyes widened as he pointed at Ryan and said, "You, you are Ryan. Why are you here?"

Batista then remembered that this young man was the one they met when they were dealing with the Meister cult incident.

As the leader of the Blood Curse Naga, Stasha naturally knew that this hall was under the charge of Genis.

But this group of humans didn't know that they had already stepped into a trap and would soon be attacked from both sides by her and Genis.

This is why, at the beginning, she commanded her followers to attack fiercely, but when they entered the passage, they reduced the intensity and frequency of the attacks.

This team of humans is quite strong, and if we take them head-on we'll suffer heavy losses.

But at this moment, the opponent is already exhausted. When they enter the hall and find that it is Gneiss waiting for them, they will surely be desperate. Then, she can easily defeat the opponent.

However, when Stasha led her followers to the entrance of the hall, they were stunned!

The scene before them not only made her, but also her family members behind her, stunned at the moment!

Where's Gurney?

They actually let the human elites who were previously captured and intended to be sacrifices escape?

Now, the whole situation has been reversed!

The double team they were waiting for did not appear, but instead the exhausted human team was like a chicken with blood. The worst thing was that the other side also received reinforcements.
Stasha instantly felt as disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly alive!
And facing the sea creatures who appeared at the door of the hall.

The crowd was not afraid at all. Instead, they were eager to take action and avenge their previous humiliation.

After all, at the moment there are two Imperial Earthshaker teams plus a Sword Bearer team here, so there is a great chance of defeating the group of sea creatures in front of them!
Especially, there is the unfathomable Lord Ryan.

At this moment, suddenly, Ryan frowned and immediately turned his head to look behind him.

Then Batista and Remiel also looked back suddenly.

The Naga leader, Stasha, showed a strange smile.
At the other end of the omen hall, a huge figure meandered out, and instantly, a strong and disturbing aura filled the air.

This is an unusually tall and strong male Blood Curse Naga, at least three meters tall. The most eye-catching thing is his left hand. On his strong arm seems to be a two-meter-long pointed-tail conch.
