Chapter 8: Defection
Soon, the flames rolled up to my trouser legs, and it wasn't until this moment that I really felt the fear of death.
I don't want to die, I want to live, and I don't even know the real cause of my mother's death.
She died so miserably that it was impossible for her to commit suicide.
I tried desperately to struggle, but the rope was tied too tightly, and soon, the skin on my wrists and ankles was worn out, and I couldn't break free.
Just when I was desperate to think that I was going to be burned to death like this, I suddenly heard a 'crackling' sound, with a bit of 'silk' sound.
The sound was small at first, but then it grew louder and louder, and even the onlookers who set the fire around noticed the anomaly.
They asked, "Did you hear anything?" ”
At this moment, snakes came out from all corners of the ancestral shrine and rushed towards me.
I was shocked, and I didn't know why so many snakes suddenly appeared here.
The group of snakes scurried towards the burning peachwood branches like moths to a fire, and soon the flames were suppressed.
The people of the village seemed to notice this, pointed at me and said in horror, "Snake! These snakes were sent by the snake demon to save her, run! ”
"That's how her four uncles and aunts died!"
In the screams, the people in the ancestral shrine scattered as if fleeing for their lives.
Soon, I was the only one left in the ancestral shrine, oh no, and a bunch of snakes.
The people were gone, but the snakes were still trying to extinguish the sparks, and a few snakes got into the ropes that tied my hands and feet, trying to bite the ropes.
They did extinguish the fire, but they also perished in the fire, and at such a close distance I could even see their scorched stiff bodies, snakes large and small, the smallest, not even the length of my forearm......
I was stunned, what the people in the village said just now seemed to be true, they ...... It was to save me, even at the cost of my life.
Why?
Is it because of that snake demon?
My eyes flashed, and before I could think more, I saw the village chief walking in from outside the ancestral hall.
He is nearly eighty years old, and he usually walks with crutches, but today he walked like a fly, ran to the fire in front of me, looked at the extinguished fire, and sneered: "Do you think that when yin and yang alternate, you can suppress me?" Human, what stupidity! ”
As he spoke, his eyes had completely turned into golden vertical pupils, and the scarlet tongue that he spit out also split into two forks.
Chief...... Possessed by a snake demon?
As if reading what I was thinking, he made a strange expression on his face, and then, a thick snake burst out of the center of the village chief's head.
The snake's feet were as thick as my waist, half black and half gold, and the huge snake's head hung down on my head.
"Tick ......"
Something, fell on my forehead.
I looked up slowly, only to see that it had opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp fangs, dripping with salivation, and its huge snake eyes did not hide its greed and lust at all.
"The last descendant of the Pang family was finally found by me, and that heart is not on your mother, but on you...... If I eat you, I will be able to turn into a dragon! ”
As he spoke, the massive snake's mouth snapped into my heart.
I screamed and closed my eyes in horror.
At this moment, there was a sudden great change not far away, I heard a loud "bang", and when I opened my eyes, I saw a golden light rushing out from the Fulong Canal in the distance.
But in a moment, the golden light fell on me, and the man I thought was the snake demon was standing in the void beside me, holding a double-edged sword with a cold light, and stabbed straight towards the snake demon.
The snake demon reacted extremely quickly and quickly retreated, so that the sword light only cut through a layer of his flesh.
Rao was like this, and it made him angry.
Immediately, the person who saw me clearly shouted in horror: "You came out? How could you possibly come out! No way! ”
"If I don't come out, will you continue to make waves under my name?"
The man snorted coldly, and with a flash of his sword, he cut the ropes on my wrists and ankles, and before I fell, he put his arms around my waist and put me on the ground.
Then, he frowned at the sword in his hand and slipped it into my hand, "Kill him." ”
??
"Me? You're not mistaken, right? That's a basilis! ”
When I said the word snake demon, I suddenly felt a little awkward in the atmosphere, because I thought that the man next to me was a snake demon......
But who made this snake demon, who is also half black and half gold, and has golden pupils, isn't it normal for me to admit my mistake!
Thinking of this, I became confident.
"This sword is in your hand, so it can exert its greatest power, your mother, your fourth uncle and aunt, and those two people, he killed them, don't you want to avenge them? If you don't kill this snake demon, there will be no peace in this village in the future. ”
I paused in the action of throwing away my sword.
He's right.
Since he's not a snake demon, and the real snake demon is in front of me, I can't just let him go.
Although I hate the people in the village for being so ruthless, I am different from them, and I can't bear to see innocent people die in front of me.
I closed my eyes, opened them again, clutched the cold sword in my hand, and pulled the corners of my mouth, "I, I don't know anything, how can I kill?" He's still a monster! ”
Just as I asked, the snake demon was already annoyed, "Dragonborn, I thought you really had a monstrous ability to come out of there, but it was just a wisp of primordial spirit, just right, let me eat her heart, swallow your primordial spirit, and my cultivation can also grow!" ”
As he spoke, his body had turned into a behemoth, and the entire ancestral shrine could not contain his huge snake body.
And the body of the snake has become countless times larger because of the expansion, and the snake scales intersected with black and gold are ugly, exuding a strong snake smell, which makes people almost sick.
"Hey...... He's getting so big, will he eat us in one bite? I tugged at the sleeve of the man next to me.
"With the Pujia Sword in your hand, how can there be a monster that can't be killed?"
His expression was flat when he spoke, but for some reason, I seemed to hear a bit of coldness in his tone.
I hurriedly shook my head, getting rid of this unreliable thought, right now, dealing with this snake demon is the most important thing.
I was about to study how to use this sword, but I was caught off guard, and was pushed by the dragonborn behind me, and rushed directly towards the snake demon!
The snake demon's huge snake mouth with fangs is just a stone's throw away!
This Dragonborn!
He actually defected?!
