Chapter 18: The Snake

Above the mountains, the fog was misty and the sky was vast, and the smoke was vast, except for the intermittent howls of wild beasts, there was only the hurried footsteps of a few people on these lonely high mountains. The road that is rarely visited gradually becomes wider, and this is the last section, and there are stone steps, as if the ancestors laid this road close to the top of the mountain.

Several people rushed to the top of the hill and climbed over the steep stone steps. Behind the winding path, there is a cave, a huge stone platform, which suddenly opens up. This platform is the size of a football field, and the material of the ground should be a product of a very early era. At such a height, how did the predecessors build such a ruin, it is really hard to imagine what kind of people had the financial resources to complete such a great project in the era when the tools were backward and completely dependent on manpower a long time ago.

In the center of the platform is a large statue of a figure, but after years of erosion, the figure is fully recognizable. It should be a big man. This statue has a bird's-eye view of the mountains, and there is a stone giant sword inserted in the stone crevice under the statue, and the sword looks like a blade, and there are five chess pieces of different colors under the giant sword.

The view from the top of the hill is perfect, with a bird's-eye view of the mountains as far as the eye can see, and the meandering river here appears to be nothing more than a writhing skirt embedded in the map of the earth.

There was no chance to comprehend the meaning of this statue, and there were more bodies of the apostles than before, with the limbs of a giant arthropod, the claws of a feline, the feathers and beaks of birds, and so on. The mutilated corpses were huge, most of them massa-class corpses. Looking at this scene, it is impossible to imagine how tragic the previous battle was.

Near the statue, the three apostles were fighting each other. It was a cow-like creature with blond-haired hair, and two one-meter-long curly horns on its head were its weapons. The tonnage is slightly inferior to that of elephants. Confronted by it were two giant wolves with white fur, which were much larger than ordinary wolves, but they were two saber teeth. The giant wolf is lying on the ground with its forelimbs, its body is bowed back, its muscles are tense, its silver hair stands on end, its long teeth are bared, the fur on the bridge of its nose is wrinkled, and its nostrils are panting. In addition, there is a golden eagle that lands on top of the statue, the size of this golden eagle is no different from the golden eagle recognized by humans, the golden eagle has blazing eyes, emits hot light, and comfortably monitors the battle.

The arrival of Hain's men did not bring any change to the scene, and the apostles only glanced at a few of them, and then concentrated on their respective battles.

"I'll go, is this some kind of apostolic smash brawl?" said Geist.

Hain shook his head, "I don't know what they're fighting for here, what kind of thing can make them so desperate? Is it really hunger?" Hain's suspicions are not unfounded, the Apostles of Lut are fighting each other for the intake, there is no such a large scale, just like the carnivores of the previous world, they will not kill indiscriminately when they are full. In the same way, the apostles would not fight after ingesting enough lute, because battles were accompanied by danger. No one is going to risk something that there is no need to fight for.

"I don't understand!" Lorte was still a short word.

"That...... In my opinion...... They're supposed to be different populations! As for why...... Fight here...... Is it for the territory?" said Emily, still unsure as she spoke. It always gives a sense of cowardice.

"Emily makes a lot of sense, I see! Let's leave other people's family affairs alone, let's go down the mountain first, sleep under the mountain for a few days, and then come up to repair this ray of hope, it's good." Geist said as he walked back.

Hain grabbed him, "It's not that you're scared, and you're still the team leader?

Hain's words made Geist angry, and he shook off Hain's hand, "You newcomer! Why don't you take a look first, and we'll go back when both sides are defeated!"

It is true that there is no physical waste of energy on unnecessary fights, and the opinion put forward by Geist is currently the best strategy. Hain nodded in agreement. A few people found a place to sit down and observe the battle, everyone was nervous at first, but after observing for half an hour, the apostles were still confronting each other. They began to relax and started small talking.

Geist tilted his head and lifted his trench coat into his trouser pocket, looked at the clouds on the top of the mountain, and suddenly said sentimentally: "It seems that I miss it! I don't know when I will be able to go back!"

Geist had two holsters around his waist, a silver* and a black pistol. This kind of weapon is not available in the Adela continent, Hain looked at his weapon and followed Geist's eyes, the boundless sea of clouds slowly moved, "Ah, aren't you a human from the continent, you can't come from somewhere?" Hain said, pointing to the white clouds in the distance.

Geist was full of surprise in Hain's black eyes, his origin was no secret in the mercenary group, and he nodded sadly, "Yes, I haven't been back for many years, although I don't have any family! Alas......" sighed, sighed through the clouds, and the homesickness frowned, but it was in my heart!

Geist's sorrow touched Hain's heart, and he had been away from his hometown for many years, and he also missed the lake in his hometown, the snow in his hometown, the big tree where he once rested, and how much he wanted to lie under the big tree on the beach again, looking at the rippling blue lake, and letting the breeze of his hometown soothe his hair and heart.

Just when they were sentimental, the two white wolves finally couldn't bear it anymore, they roared twice and pounced on the golden bull several times larger than their own body, their sharp teeth bit on the golden bull's tough thick skin, the golden fur was torn open two blood-red holes, the wolf's speed obviously prevailed, they tried to avoid the tentacles and hooves of the golden bull, one after the other to attack, so that the golden bull could not take care of his head.

"What do you think? Geist asked.

"I see, these three are just Massa level, with the ability of your big team leader, you don't have to guess which of them can win, even if they are all your opponents, it can be solved in minutes, isn't it?"

"Hain, this is the most decent thing I've ever said from your mouth to know you!"

"But I'm concerned about that golden eagle!" Gist followed Hain's eyes to look at the cozy golden eagle, "Ah...... It's so small, it's just Kreb!"

"Although the body size is very small, you can see that the corpses in this place can survive to the end, they must be strong. I couldn't tell from the strength of Lute in his body. The Kreber-class apostles didn't feel that way. And that look doesn't seem to put us in my eyes, this feeling of contempt, I can't bear it!"

"Strong!" Lorte nodded.

Geist punched Lorte's bald head, "Can you sum it up? Can you always say such a quintessential thing!"

While they were chatting, after a few fights, Taurus was a little out of breath, and I didn't know if he was angry with these two flea-like things, or if he was really exhausted. It was the golden light that suddenly emitted from the hair of the golden calf, and everyone present was so flashed that they could not see anything.

When everyone covered their eyes to avoid the bright light, all they heard was a terrible howl. When the golden light ended, I saw a white wolf lying in a pool of blood, and a bloody intestine still hung on the horn of the golden bull. The other white wolf shivered, turned and fled down the hillside.

The golden eagle spreads its wings and swishs. I saw that the golden statue flew out of the arrow, and the speed arrow was many times faster, even Hain did not have such a speed.

"At this speed?" Hain snapped his mouth shut in surprise. In the next instant, a large hole was dug out of the white wolf's body. The golden eagle flew back to the statue again. Still looking at this battlefield with pleasure.

Hain held the hilt of his sword in his right hand and drew his sword, "Oh my God! What speed is this! I don't see what happened just now. Geist nagged.

The huge bull's eyes of the golden bull looked at the people of Hain and looked at the golden eagle. Turning to the Haynees, his right front hoof rubbing against the ground. The rough air of the nostrils rushed over.

"I'll go, Brother Niu, I didn't make you angry. I'll tell you! don't come, you'll regret it!" Gist muttered.

The center of gravity of Hain's body was lowered, and with a click, a little cold light was already revealed. "That...... Put me down...... I'm going to fight!" said Emily. The little girl's courage was commendable, but Lorte stood there motionless as if she had not heard. "It's fine!"

The blade had revealed its glow, and Hain's body was enveloped in the current. "Hain, this level!

I saw Geist standing in front of the golden bull and stretched out a finger to the golden calf, and turned back to Hayne with a relaxed smile. With a sound of Biu, the thumping body of the golden bull suddenly couldn't move forward, as if it was pushed by a huge force. The next second, an elephant-sized body rolled on the ground like a leather ball.

There were so many surprising things on this day that Hayne couldn't say anything, is this the ability of the middle attendant level? It seems that Geist's strength is beyond doubt.

"How's it going?" Hain, were you intimidated by my handsome movements?" asked Geist.

"Boom!" said Lorte.

The Taurus shook his head, as if he was still in a state of bewilderment, not knowing what was happening. Suddenly, the mountain began to move violently. Several people couldn't stand still, only the golden eagle was still so calm.

"I'm going!!!!!

"What are you kidding, sister, what a table, you are stupid!" As soon as Hain finished speaking, he saw a crack in the ground under the golden calf's feet, and a huge head burst out of the ground, swallowing the elephant-sized golden bull in one gulp. The eyes that shone with a faint green light, the long snake letter swayed in the air, and the huge scales. That's right, it's a snake!
