Chapter 192: People (?) Snakes fighting
Basilisk lore is very extensive and its images are so bizarre that it is often depicted as a giant serpent with a crown or white spots on its head. Sometimes he transforms into a ferocious lizard, a tall dragon, or a grown Camilla, the legendary monster with the head of a snake and a snake, depending on who tells the story.
Another well-known image of the basilisk is the gnotus beauty in Greek mythology - Medusa.
Medusa was a young girl who angered Athena and turned her long beautiful hair into wriggling snakes. Medusa's vision can petrify people, and Perseus, the son of Zeus, defeated the banshee and cut off her head with a shining shield as a mirror, and her blood fell into the Libyan desert as a poisonous snake. The image of the post-Medusa was often used on shields.
The basilisk in this scene is clearly a hybrid monster, a serpent with extraordinary abilities, which is said to have come from the eggs laid by a seven-year-old rooster when Sirius was in the sky and hatched by a toad. Its gaze is the most dangerous weapon of attack: any creature that interacts directly with its gaze will be killed instantly, and any creature that intersects indirectly, such as when seen in a mirror, will be petrified.
This terrifying and dangerous ability is obviously related to the gorgons in Greek mythology. Maybe it's some of the power traits inherited from the creatures of the gods, but who can say clearly, there are no wizards or other cultivators from a thousand years ago who have survived until now, and no one knows what the world was like a thousand years ago.
"If only I could just destroy its eyes......" Pei Chen thought regretfully. It's a pity that I don't have the ability to accurately lock on to attacks now......"
He felt a fierce gust of fishy wind rushing towards his nose, and the terrifying snake with a body length of more than twenty meters and a potential breakthrough of thirty meters was rushing towards him! Pei Chen's perception instantly sketched that picture: a black magic creature with a green body, glowing with the unique bright light of a poisonous snake, and a body as thick as the trunk of an oak tree, was raising half of its body high, and its mouth was revealing a terrifying fangs as slender and sharp as a saber, and it was about to shoot him down from the sky!
Pei Chen counteracted the gravity on himself, and his toes flew directly into the air, kicking hard in mid-air, and his toes hit the basilisk's jaw heavily - "It's done!" Pei Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, don't forget that he is still blindfolded, and it is difficult to accurately lock the target, especially when the target is still in a state of high-speed activity - originally he wanted to directly destroy the eyes of the basilisk, but he felt that he was not sure to be so accurate.
Syllable! There was a clear crunch, accompanied by the basilisk's painful hiss, and its upper body was lifted high by the massive inhumanitarian way, and its flat head slammed into a thick stone pillar! Suddenly, there was another burst of flying sand and rocks, and the smoke and dust were billowing out, and the stout stone pillar was almost broken and fell on the spot!
The flow of the air became intense, and the dust mixed in it began to be turbid, Pei Chen silently remembered the number in his heart, his body arched and then violently exerted his strength to bully him again! Infinite combos are almost impossible to do, but it's the best way to solve things! It would be great if you could keep hitting the basilisk combo to death as planned.
On the flip side, the basilisk can't be given a chance to fight back - this powerful dark magic creature bred by a wizard thousands of years ago doesn't have many means to attack, but it is undeniable that each one is extremely deadly.
Whether it's the poisonous fangs, or the terrifying power that can twist a twenty-seven-inch diameter railroad light pole when strangled, or the last fatal death sight, it can overturn a careless three-star level creature on the spot!
Anyway, Pei Chen didn't want to face it, if he could, it would be the best ending to suppress and beat the basilisk to death! However, the dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel, the process is tortuous, and the result is impossible......
No matter who it is, as long as it is a living thing, it will never want to be suppressed to the point of being powerless to fight back, and then be beaten to death. Even if a snake is born for a thousand years, the same is true of the basilisk that hibernates for 950 years.
Pei Chen, who had just successfully performed two combos, suddenly felt a strong sense of danger, and the danger prediction LV2 was a crazy warning! Then he only had time to tilt his head dangerously when he felt a swift arrow of water grazing his face......
Those unknown liquids were relatively large, and the taste was very strange and pungent, Pei Chen just felt a slight coldness on his face, and in less than a second, that feeling was all transformed into a burning sensation and a painful feeling. Faintly, he even heard his own face sizzle as if it was being burned!
Nima is so scary! Isn't this guy's prototype not a petrified lizard, but a king cobra?! Pei Chen was so shocked that he didn't have time to break one of the basilisk's fangs before he retreated fiercely. He retreated sharply in mid-air and in violation of the laws of physics and human mechanics, and rushed backwards for more than ten meters, and then landed on a pile of rubble in some embarrassment.
He reached out and wiped his face, but only touched the blood of one hand, but there was no wound. Pei Chenleng paused for a moment, and then understood that he had made a fool, with his current physique attribute value of more than 130 points, and with the double bonus of the regeneration bloodline talent and the killing stone, even if the heart was penetrated, it was estimated that it would be cured in a few minutes.
Now it's just a little venom splattered on the epidermis, and even the most corrosive it is impossible to be more serious than a heart injury.
"Nima......" Pei Chen cursed, and he didn't know who he was scolding.
The basilisk roared and slammed a broken stone pillar to the side, it was in a miserable condition, its flat head littered with blows, a saber-long fang broken by Qi Gen, blood oozing from its mouth.
Before, he was stupid and frightened by the basilisk's spray venom, but now Pei Chen hesitated for a moment and didn't dodge, and was hit hard and flew out, knocking him into the wall. But the unexpected anti-shock damage was not too big, or far beyond Pei Chen's tolerable range!
Human conditioning is an instinct that is very difficult to control, and even impossible for ordinary people to suppress by their own dominant consciousness. Just as when you see someone carrying a knife, axe, and club like you are slashing down on the head, you will subconsciously raise your hand to block and close your eyes; Or if you dream in your sleep that you will subconsciously struggle, spasm and convulsion when you dream that you are falling from a height, this is also a conditioned reflex.
Trying to suppress this reflex instinct is a very painful thing that takes years to build, as well as ...... A painful lesson in blood and tears.
But for the Apostle of Time and Space, this is another compulsory lesson - if you can't even selectively control your conditioned reflex ability, then you won't be able to go far after a few missions. Not much else, the idiots who only raise their hands to block and close their eyes when the enemy attacks have long since lost their minds.
The basilisk's tail swung wildly, but it didn't hit Pei Chen. It was now furious, because the previous act of sending Pei Chen out of the air not only did not give it the slightest advantage, but even allowed this tiny humanoid creature with the same snake aura to seize the opportunity and blind one of its eyes with a stab in the heart!
Black blood spurted to the ground, and the basilisk purred in pain.
In the next moment, the air twisted violently, and with a huge explosion sound, Pei Chen's gravitational distortion made a brazen shot! He now found that the branch skills that were extended based on an ability-type skill were extremely handy to use, although they did not have the constraints and bonuses of infinite space.
In an instant of thunder and lightning, the huge body of the basilisk, which was more than thirty meters long and weighed at least six or seven tons, flew upside down and slowly slid down against the wall.
Spider web-like cracks spread out from the center of the explosion, and a small half of the secret chamber, which was more than twenty meters in diameter and was much stronger than the other stone corridors, was also destroyed. But the twisted ripples obviously failed to shatter the basilisk's incomparably strong and compact body, and although the behemoth writhed and danced wildly in mad pain, its scaly appearance was only limited to the green snakeskin, and the appearance of cracked skin and black blood gushing out looked extremely miserable, but it did not hurt the muscle layer much.
It is said that the basilisk's skin may have the same armor properties as the dragon's skin, and can reflect spells that hit it, but now it seems that this legend is really a bit likely, and it may be that only its eyes and mouth are the only weak points of defense.
After pumping the basilisk out with a tooth for a tooth, Pei Chen quickly reached out and touched his whole body, and the expression on his face looked very subtle. He thought he would have to break at least a few ribs from the basilisk's powerful volley before, after all, even the thick cobblestone wall behind him had been knocked out of the cracks. As a result, more than 50 points of vitality were lost painlessly, and even the skin was not scratched a bit.
"Let me go, is the three-star level an evolutionary path of change (meow) state from the beginning? This kind of leap and bounds in strength is really terrifying enough......"
He simply didn't know what to say, three-star and six-star were all watersheds, and Pei Chen also knew this statement. But you won't know it until you really step into this level.
If Pei Chen hadn't suffered the loss of being crushed by his size, it would really be like playing to overturn this basilisk now. It's a pity that his current demon body is only eighteen meters long, only more than half of the basilisk, so going up like this is simply the end of being crushed, it is better to maintain the advantage of this human form occupying high sensitivity and high skill.
The basilisk turned its head and threw itself at Pei Chen angrily. The battle went on to the point of white-hot or nothing, because now Pei Chen has calmed down, but the basilisk that was hit hard has already hit the real fire. Its skin was cracked inch by inch, its eyes were blinded, and streams of black blood splattered onto the ground like a shower.
The basilisk's tail swept over again, Pei Chen hurriedly lowered his head, stepped forward and smashed it with a fierce punch, judging from the feeling and the painful roar of the basilisk, he seemed to hit the opponent's scaly nose with a seemingly accurate punch! Like a human, the basilisk's nose is also an extremely fragile and sensitive part.
That hissing sound sounded to Pei Chen's ears, no different from the roar of a human roaring in pain, if it weren't for the fact that the basilisk didn't have such a thing as a tear duct at all, he might have rolled on the ground with tears streaming down his face by now. Pei Chen closed his eyes, suddenly exerted force, and cyan scales suddenly appeared on the palm of one hand, grabbed the other tusk of the basilisk, and broke it hard!
