Chapter 293: Siege 2
Su Rui could see at a glance that this was not the cave where the big snakes usually lived. Because the cave is obviously not as big as the current cave, and it looks very deep here, I wonder if there will be an exit from the other side of the cave.
"What is this place?" Wood asked.
"Rest assured, this is a hidden place that we have not been discovered for a long time. The snake said.
It turns out that a long time ago, when the snake people disappeared, the snake people had already lived here. At that time, the wizarding world had not yet appeared, and in order not to be discovered, the snake clan made a very hidden cave here.
This is a cave that was carved out in the middle of two mountains by squeezing each other.
Later, when the wizarding world appeared, because the climate of the cold mountain was very harsh, and there was often fog here. People often get lost here, sometimes even lose their lives.
Even if a magician comes, he will get lost, because the climate here is so abnormal. When the fog is full, even the advanced magicians are helpless.
Later, they simply divided it into impassable areas. Think of it as a dead mountain, because no species can survive here.
But the snake tribe did it, and not only did they survive here, but they also lived well.
The temperature in this cave is different from the outside, and it is no longer cold with cold winds.
It's just that if they want to hide here, the people outside will definitely find this place as long as they don't give up.
I wonder why the serpent had brought him to this place, Wood thought as he surveyed his surroundings.
On the stone walls here, Wood saw a lot of statues. Many of the carvings are about the Serpents, and Wood also notes that underneath each carved image is a small line of text.
Wood had never seen such a text before, but it wasn't hard to guess. Since the Snake Clan used to have a very close relationship with the Snake Clan, these questions should be the words used by the Snake Clan to record some things.
"What does it mean?" Wood thought the words looked special.
"Those are the spells that the snake people use to punish those who have done wrong, and the carvings on them are scenes of punishment. The snake explained.
Following his guidance, Wood saw one terrifying picture after another. Those scenes, although only in the crude technique of carving, Wood still felt the cruelty of the picture.
From these pictures, it is not difficult to see that the punishment of the snake people for those who make mistakes is quite severe.
After the serpent's explanation, Wood knew that most of those people had violated the taboo of the snake people, that is, they were unfaithful.
Even if it is a small matter, as long as they violate this family rule, they will be punished very cruelly. Many people have also paid with their lives.
Wood couldn't understand why they had done such a thing in the first place when they valued loyalty so much.
The serpent seemed to have guessed Wood's question, and then recounted the situation.
When the snake people first appeared, there were some problems among them. But those problems were later solved by themselves.
But then traitors appeared among them, and their contradictions were elevated to the level of world peace. This attracted the attention of King Yara, and this led to what happened later.
It's just that everyone doesn't know that it was because of the betrayers in the snake clan at that time that they provoked in the middle, which led to that incident.
Just because of a betrayer, the entire snake people paid a heavy price.
Although Wood was still a little skeptical, he didn't think that the Serpents were a peace-destroying race at this time.
"This place is obviously not capable of protecting you, and now almost the entire wizarding world is dispatched. I believe it won't be long before they find here. If you're willing to free the Serpents, they'll help you through this. Moreover, they will swear allegiance to you to the death, which will be of great help to you in the future. The snake said.
There was pleading in its tone, and Wood looked at the serpent, then at the cruel punishments on the stone wall, and fell into deep thought.
By this time, the people outside were already approaching here, and Wood could faintly hear someone talking.
Wood knew exactly what would happen to him if he was caught. Since they promised to hand over Wood to the Elven King, but before that, they would vent all their resentment.
The people of the wizarding world hate themselves, and their fate is probably not much better than those on the screen. That's not the point, the important thing is that they will send Wood to the Elven King.
That's what Wood is most worried about, the elven king of today is no longer the elven king of the past.
Because he didn't know what the elven king was thinking, Wood was even more worried. In any case, he could not be sent to the elven king.
Even if what the Great Snake said was not true, the Snake people would not be loyal to them at all. But if he summoned them back, those people in the magical world would not tolerate the presence of so many snake people on their territory.
There was bound to be a fierce fight between the two of them, and it was still possible if they slipped away at that time.
"What am I going to do to summon the snake people back?" Wood finally figured out, even if he was caught, he would have to pull the people of the wizarding world on his back.
When the serpent heard Wood's words, he was very excited, he didn't expect Wood to agree so easily. In fact, when he saw Wood coming alone, he had already prepared for the worst.
But I didn't expect Wood to figure it out, which was so exciting.
Hearing Wood's words, those little snakes who were lying quietly in the distance couldn't help but cheer.
The serpent quickly spat out a sword from his mouth, which was a very small sword.
I don't know if it's because I've been in the snake's stomach for too long, and the sword is glowing with a strange white light.
"This is the most admired sword of the snake people, and the body of this sword is made of the fangs of the snake people's predecessors. For the snake people, this sword means their ancestors, it means that their soul dominates. You just have to use this sword and pierce it into your heart, and you can get them and get their loyalty. With that, the serpent handed the sword to Wood.
No wonder this sword is so small and delicate, it was originally made from the fangs of the ancestors of the snake people.
