This is a statue of a giant snake, the giant snake stares ahead, and a pair of snake pupils should be inlaid with giant fluorite, slightly emitting light. The statue as a whole is about 30 meters high, the carving skills are exquisite, vivid, and even the lines on the snake scales are carved exquisitely.

"This must be the giant serpent that conquered the entire tribe, right?"

Lu Chen stood in the distance and looked at the giant snake statue, feeling extremely small.

If he really fought with such a giant snake, he estimated that he would have to become a giant snake's meal in less than a minute, or be slapped into meat by a snake's tail.

And just as he was about to go down into the pit and take a closer look at the statue of the giant serpent, he suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if something was approaching this side.

"Could it be that I ran to the lair of those mutated black snakes?"

Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly took advantage of the glow of fluorite to look around, trying to find a place to hide.

The sound of rustling was getting closer and closer, as if it was coming from all directions, which also made him more sure that this was the sound of the mutated black snake crawling.

If you are discovered by this group of mutant black snakes, you will know that you will never be able to escape.

He hurriedly searched for a place to hide, and suddenly found that in the southeast corner, there was a stone door more than half a person high. He hurriedly ran over and pushed the stone door hard, and after the stone door staggered a gap, the whole person immediately got in.

Just as he was entering the stone gate with his front feet, he saw a mutated black snake ten meters long crawling out of the corridor and gathering near the giant snake statue in the center.

"Shhh...... It turns out that there are so many mutated black snakes here! Fortunately, I was lucky before, but I only met one or two, and if I encountered a few more, my little life would be handed over here. ”

Lu Chen looked through the gap in the stone door and saw that the surroundings of the giant snake statue were already covered with dense black snakes at this time.

The three most conspicuous of them were black snakes, so large that they were at least twenty meters away, which simply made him stunned.

To put it bluntly, if these three giant black snakes leave Jinwu Mountain, it is estimated that they will all be regarded as monsters, and it will not be a problem at all to swallow a cow in one bite.

But this also made him secretly glad that he was lucky to hide quickly, otherwise, Ye Qingling would have become a widow.

"Shhh...... Hiss...... Hiss ......"

The three giant black snakes spit scarlet snake hyacinths and make a creepy sound.

The other mutated black snakes around them, as if they had received some order, followed the three giant snakes, coiled around the statue, bowed their snake bodies, and rose and fell.

This scene, as if the ancient humans were worshipping the gods devoutly, shocked Lu Chen. If it weren't for the weakening of heaven and earth and the entry into the era of the end of the law, he would still think that these snakes would have become essences.

"Hiss......"

Just as the snakes were worshipping the statue, another ten-meter-long black snake came out. Compared to the other black snakes, this black snake was much slower and was blind in one eye.

"Isn't this the same black snake that attacked Miss Yan and me before?"

Lu Chen immediately recognized this late black snake, it was the unlucky black snake that had fought with him before and caused both sides to lose.

After the unlucky black snake joined the snake group, he also followed the other black snakes and worshiped the statue.

Next, under the leadership of the three giant black snakes, the group of snakes began to bang their heads on the stone slab ground, as if kowtowing, making a "bang" sound.

At first, the sound of the prostrations was a little scattered, but after a while, the sound became uniform.

"Oh no, this voice is weird!"

Lu Chen, who was hiding behind the stone gate, listened to the sound of the snakes kowtowing, and suddenly felt that his heartbeat began to accelerate, and his blood vessels contracted violently, as if in the next second, the blood in his whole body was about to explode.

He hurriedly activated his true qi and tried to calm the restless blood, which made his heartbeat rate drop.

And with the prostration of the snakes, the statue that was originally like a dead thing actually emitted a glimmer of light.

"The power of faith? Could it be that the snakes are worshipping God? But isn't this the time of the end of the law?"

Lu Chen's eyes widened instantly, and his face was full of disbelief.

Worship is a kind of sacrifice made by believers to gods or other objects, or the act or ritual of expressing their sincerity and worship. When believers worship the gods devoutly, the power of faith is generated, which is commonly referred to as "incense".

There are no gods in the world, but there are many sacrifices, and gods are born.

In ancient times, human beings lived in a tribal manner, and humans at that time usually worshiped mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, so a variety of totem cultures were born.

Everything in the world is born of air!

When human beings worship nature, the aura of human beings will converge into another aura, which is the so-called "power of faith".

When this power of faith, which is essentially "qi", reaches a certain level, it will give birth to a life that is completely different from that of human beings—gods!

The reason why the gods can have supernatural powers is because they are aggregates of "qi", and they can mobilize more qi to form a special energy field, thus deriving all kinds of unbelievable supernatural powers.

In ancient times, some intelligent human beings, after noticing this, began to look for ways to make themselves hold more qi like gods, which was the prototype of the first cultivation, and this kind of people were also called "qi refiners".

The more qi a species can hold, the more qi it can control and mobilize, and the more capable it becomes.

Through cultivation, the ancient qi refiners absorbed the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and converted it into their own true qi, so as to achieve this purpose.

As an aggregate of qi, the gods cannot cultivate on their own, and can only strengthen themselves by absorbing the power of the believers' beliefs. This is also the main reason why the gods spread to believers, and when there are more believers, the more power they believe, the stronger their power will be.

However, these things only existed in the ancient era, and since the earth entered the era of the end of the law, not to mention any gods, even the qi refiners have disappeared.

For example, the Heavenly Mandate Sect that Lu Chen worshipped, although it also belonged to a group of qi refiners in the ancient era, due to various reasons, most of the inheritance had already been cut off. This is the main reason why the disciples who cultivate the inheritance of the Heavenly Mandate Sect suffer from the numerology of "five disadvantages and three deficiencies".

And just when Lu Chen was shocked by the worship ceremony of the snakes, he suddenly felt that the backpack behind him was hot, and it seemed that his back was about to be cooked.

He hurriedly took off his backpack and reached in to touch it, only to feel a hot sensation coming, so hot that he quickly withdrew his hand again.
