Chapter 40: The Basilisk
But no matter how good the idea is, life still has to be lived, and if you want to hug Huck's thigh, it is better to strengthen yourself now.
So Barry still has to get up early today, and the Fire Emblem Breathing Method practice can't be broken, after all, it's really great to be able to feel your progress every day.
Today, because he couldn't take Ronald's ride, Barry didn't wait too long to stay at home, and after eating the breakfast prepared by Mrs. Celine, he set off early.
Along the way, Barry thinks about Mrs. Celine's affairs and plans to find her something to do to help her pass the time.
"Am I buying her a book? Or buy her a yoga mat so she can work out at home? โ
Barry thought about it for a long time, but he hadn't done it in his previous life and in his life, so he was distressed now.
But no matter how distressed you are, you have to think about it, after all, how can anyone treat herself so well like Mrs. Celine, you must give her something in return.
Turning a small street, Barry suddenly stopped, and looked behind him in some confusion, as if something was secretly peeking at him.
However, there are only scattered pedestrians in the back, after all, it is still early, and it is not the peak time to go to work, so the scene behind you can be seen at a glance.
Looking at the people or things that were not abnormal, Barry was a little confused in his heart: "Could it be that I am too careful?" โ
Since nothing unusual was found, Barry did not delay and walked briskly in the direction of the Iron Cross.
After a while, I came to the small alley where I was robbed last night, and there was nothing unusual in the whole alley, not to mention that the sheriffs used a blockade to block the scene, and there was not even a reminder sign, as if nothing had happened at all.
I've come to this alley, and if I don't go in and take a look, it seems a little unreasonable.
No wonder there is a saying: "Suspects always like to return to the scene of the crime, hoping to see the follow-up of the incident." โ
Although Barry didn't think he had sinned, he wanted to go in and have a look.
"Hopefully I won't fall into the net like those criminals stupid criminals, haha."
Thinking of this, Barry couldn't help but say with some self-deprecation: "I always feel like I have set up some great flag." โ
Barry walked into the alley again, the morning sun shining on the alley clearly, all too clear compared to the previous night's darkness.
"If you put the scene at that time and put it now, do those bastards still dare to rob? No wonder the night is the best cover for crime. โ
The three bodies that fell to the ground last night have long since disappeared, and I don't know who cleaned them up, only a few traces on the ground can prove that three lives were lost here yesterday.
Unable to see the mark left last night, Barry is not sighing, after all, there will be more big events in the future, and this matter can only be placed in the deepest part of his memory.
Took a few steps forward, avoiding a somewhat muddy sewer, just as I was about to continue walking a hundred and ten meters out of the alley.
Suddenly, a creepy feeling came from behind him, and the hairs on the back of his neck and hands stood up frantically, and the strong omen of danger made Barry's whole person avert sharply, and he subconsciously injected his spirit into the [Ring of Protection].
All the omens just now told Barry that if he didn't dodge and resist, he would die directly.
Listening to the rumbling behind him, it was the venom that was constantly corroding the shield of the Guardian Ring, and Barry didn't dare to hesitate.
With a hard kick on the ground, a "sliding step" was used, and Barry can proudly say that it was his best performance ever.
It is a confirmation of the old saying: "If you hesitate, you will lose, and if you are decisive, you will give in vain"
Barry's unhesitating action gave him the possibility of escaping from Ascension and dodging the killing blow.
It took nearly ten meters to slide in one step, but Barry sprinted for more than ten meters without stopping, and then turned around to see what was going on.
When Barry came to this world, it can be said that the people he saw with his own eyes were all transcendents on the side of order, and the only non-human transcendent creature was his own dog.
These transcendents are either the same as ordinary people, at most the difference in strength, and their dogs are a husky category, and the adjective can be handsome or cool, but it can't be said to be a monster.
Even on the first day home, the giant rat in the nightmare, you could say it was scary, huge, but it can't be described as a monster, because whether it is on Earth or in the other world, their appearance is very ordinary.
So Barry really hasn't seen monsters in person, but now he can proudly say that he has seen monsters himself.
As a child, Barry was fond of strange creatures, and at the time, various circuses and cabarets would gather at gatherings during festivals.
One of them built a big black tent and used a loudspeaker to advertise a two-headed child, a half-human, half-snake man, and a hairy snowman.
Barry couldn't help his curiosity once, and used the money he had saved for half a month to go in and take a look, and the result was predictable.
It's like in the "Mermaid" movie, the person who was tricked into the museum of exotic beasts was full of lies, and at the end Barry made a fuss at the conductor and finally saved his little coffer.
If the monster in front of him is put in the Museum of Rare and Exotic Beasts in the movie, not to mention anything else, at least the monster of half man and half snake will not be scolded anymore, and the audience can say that at least the ticket price is right.
Whether it is China or foreign countries, there are legends of half-man and half-snake, in the mythology of the East, Nuwa and Fuxi and their brother and sister are half-human and half-snake, and there is also a legend of the Naga snake man in the West.
But if you want to talk about hunting, you still have to look at the monster opposite, this half-human, half-snake monster is very different from the above, and the most basic form of some people introduced above.
The half-human, half-snake monster that Barry is right about, it looks like a giant python as a whole, the human form is erect, about the same height as Barry, and on the body of the giant python, human limbs have grown.
Behind him, a huge snake tail was constantly beating the ground, and the most important head was a huge snake head, and the letter in its mouth was expanding and contracting, as if it was exploring something.
And the attack Barry received just now was the venom that spewed out of the snake's mouth, and after being blocked by the shield of the Guardian Ring, it fell to the ground, and it was emitting a trace of black gas, constantly corroding the ground.
Seeing the blow of the sneak attack from the sewer just now, which did not directly poison Barry, the basilisk was a little suspicious, and did not dare to launch an attack abruptly, and the two sides confronted each other and maintained a tacit understanding.
Taking advantage of the fact that the basilisk is not attacking now, Barry uses the system to observe the attributes of the basilisk, after all, he knows himself and his opponent, and he is invincible in a hundred battles, and he can recognize the situation before he can determine whether to fight or escape.
Transcendent Creature: Basilisk
Occupation: [None]
Title: [None]
Strength: [1.8], Dexterity: [1.9], Constitution: [1.9], Spirit: [1.1]

Passive: [Chaotic Will] When it eats, it will be affected by the evil thoughts that remain in the food. [Scale Armor] can resist certain physical attacks.
Looking at the attribute of the basilisk opposite, Barry felt bitter in his heart, although it did not break through the transcendent barrier and obtain a profession, but even the attribute on the opposite side was more powerful than him.
As for escaping, seeing the basilisk's agility of up to 1.9, Barry gave up the idea, and if he can't outrun it, how can people run faster with their legs and tail than you can run on two legs.
Barry is now in a huge crisis.
