Volume 1 Mountain Village 103: Escape from the Temple
When he had been transformed into a humanoid monster before, Fang Nuo had already experienced seeing the world through the eyes of a large creature once.
This time, however, he had turned into a giant creature, and his perspective had changed to the kind of one that lowered his head and screamed in his heart that he was going to commit a fear of heights.
Although he knew for as long as he could remember, he didn't have so many strange problems, and he wasn't so fragile.
At this moment, a giant snake turned into dust and fell, and he straightened up as another giant snake that had not yet adapted to its body, and then slammed into the dome of the temple, directly smashing the transparent glass bunker covering it.
Fragments of glass were scattered one after another, glittering in the light from the outside world.
But at the same time, they also have a certain lethality, and the power of falling objects β or sharp objects β should not be underestimated.
After getting used to his current size and regaining some mobility, Fang Nuo swayed to his feet, blocking most of the glass shards for the humans below.
He also thinks that he needs to take responsibility for the trouble he has caused, even if it is done unintentionally.
However, he was still unable to precisely control his now massive body.
Without paying attention, he turned his head directly.
The serpent's head plunged into a wall facing him, causing the gold-plated stone wall to end up in a similar way to the glass dome.
The brains of the snake clan are really hard, is it because their body is covered with scales?
Fang Nuo wanted to reach out and rub his head that had been knocked by the wall, but found that he didn't have limbs at all at this time, and many of the things that he could do in his Yellow Immortal form couldn't do now.
"Whoa......" He pulled his head back from the hole in the wall, and the wall collapsed, shaking along with the whole building.
Fang Nuo, who wanted to understand the situation, looked up again, only to turn his entire body over, crashing straight into the stone wall on the other side.
Fang Nuo, who was lying on the ground, looked at the ceiling where he could already see the sky, and his heart was speechless for a while.
At the same time, the three figures hiding nearby had the same idea as him.
"Did the black phosphorus absorb the bird just now?" The authorities were fascinated, and Mr. Yoi didn't realize that their opponent had fallen into eternal sleep, "And then, it turned into a white strip?" White phosphorus? β
"I don't think it's named after the color of its scales...... Maybe. The witch, who hadn't moved her hand a few times at all, replied leisurely.
"Is it crazy? Why did you tear down your own temple? Mr. Night pursed his lips, and then threw out another question.
"It's a pity, I wanted to take it over as my temple." The killer "Imperial Snake Spirit Feather", who is both a reincarnation of an immortal beast and a hybrid of orcs, said in his cold but mocking tone.
"You're already a human, Quetzalcoatl." Mr. Yoi choked on the other party, as is customary, "I just decided that you will be able to atone for your past as a human being. β
"That's what Bishop Gilrim expected." He added.
"Don't crush me with that guy." The Imperial Snake Spirit Feather kicked away the stones at his feet, hesitated for a moment, and walked quickly towards the giant snake that had collapsed to the ground.
"The temple was tossed by him like this, and it is estimated that it will not be far from collapsing." As he walked, he muttered in fragments, "We need to confirm his identity and decide whether to give him a fatal blow or ......"
"Please, a monster beast of its size is a threat wherever it is placed." Mr. Night spread his hands behind his back and said his feelings, "Kill it, aren't we here to crusade against it?" β
Perhaps stimulated by Mr. Yoi's speech, the giant snake that had been "lying flat" on the ground struggled to get up again, stared wide-eyed, and pointed its vertical pupils at those who were not as tall as their own heads.
The edge of his mouth grew slightly, revealing his sharp teeth.
"Beware!" Mr. Xiao is about to step forward and set an example for the imperial snake Lingyu who has not started for a long time.
The witch standing beside him reached out and stopped him.
"You?"
"Malicious intent can be felt......," the witch shook her head, "but it is not hostile to us. β
"Is this your intuition? Is it your sixth sense as a woman? Mr. Yoi tried to convey a friendly tone that made his attitude appear respectful of his companion, but his tone still sounded impulsive.
"I've seen a lot of this kind of situation." He said, "The way it looks, it's going to attack people." β
Fang Nuo, who was noisy: Why don't I know?
The little beast manipulated the serpent's body and yawned, banishing the tiredness that had accumulated in his brain from reading a large amount of information at once.
He slowly stood up, and heard a sound around him, and many fragments of bricks and building materials were thrown into the embrace of the earth from all directions.
The building is literally collapsing.
The "temple" that the black snake prepared for himself after his promotion, couldn't withstand the internal commotion?
Could it be that this black snake is sure that he has a very good personality and will never lose his temper and go on a rampage inside?
But he also enjoyed many scenes of the black phosphorus viper abusing his family in his memory fragments, and the snake also allowed his temple to be soaked in rain and drilled by visitors......
Therefore, it must not only fall so easily, but also because its original owner did not do good maintenance during his lifetime.
Fang Nuo propped up his body and released a small amount of spiritual power, which he used to explore the surroundings and find the easiest escape route.
He glanced at the seemingly overwhelmed humans below, who had suffered a lot of bruises in the battle against Black Phosphorus, although they had not neglected the importance of self-preservation.
Mr. Yoi's clothes were dirty and torn, and his exposed arms were bruised and purple, and some of the abrasions were still oozing blood.
The witch had covered herself more tightly with a hooded cloak, but the long journey had taken a lot of her strength, and her breath was not steady.
As for the strange fellow who was transformed into a fairy beast, he didn't pay attention to his appearance after the battle like a witch, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust, but he wasn't as embarrassed as Mr. Yoi.
Fang Nuo measured his current strength, and his heart was crossed, so he directly operated the spiritual power to his tail, and reluctantly controlled it to roll up the body of the guy, intending to leave the palace with them.
I haven't been able to fully use this body, and if I want to achieve my goal after doing this, I need the cooperation of humans.
Fortunately, of the three, the witch is the most reasonable, perhaps because she is unwilling to contribute to matters other than those entrusted by the villagers of the mountain village; Even if Mr. Xiao has always talked about "crusading against the beasts", he is also good at judging the situation and can sense whether the behavior of the demon beasts is beneficial to himself and his companions.
And the fairy beast feathered snake, the former beast king of the snake clan, is the most difficult one to deal with.
As a fairy beast's pride, he didn't allow himself to be helped by demon beasts.
At this time, it was the witch's spiritual power line that helped, so that Fang Nuo did not need to be distracted and instructed the silver and blue rope to bind the limbs of the uncooperative.
"The feeling of being entangled in a snake...... It's cold, it's terrible. β
"It doesn't look like it's really Black Phosphorus, at least not the monster beast that just fought us." The witch pulled her hand out of the restraint of the snake's body, and expressed her opinion as if leisurely, "Ah, Mr. Black Phosphorus ate what he thought was the 'Resurrection Hand of the Beastmaster', so he was eaten by the will left behind by the Beastmaster?" β
"What are you kidding," the killer who was squeezed between the witch and Mr. Yoi replied with a cold face, "I'll tell you the truth according to my feelings, I didn't perceive the fall of any Beastmaster...... At least for a few years. β
"From the very beginning, I thought the black snake was telling a joke." He buried his head and pressed his cheek against the white snake's scales, muttering softly.
"Hey, do you feel anything?" Beside him, the scar-faced carriage merchant was startled, "My wounds seem to be slowly healing!" β
The witch looked at the speaker's face seriously across a person:
"No, there isn't."
"It's not about my face!" Mr. Yoi, who was stabbed in the sore spot by his companion's reaction, became excited, "It was a bruise from the battle just now...... They are gradually recovering. β
"The recovery ability of the capable is inherently different from that of ordinary humans, so over the years, Mr. Yoi, haven't you been injured? Didn't notice this? β
After this cooperation, the tone of the orc half-blood, which had eased the relationship with Mr. Yoi, became sharper, and the respect in it was less than before.
Although his original attitude towards Mr. Night was not very good:
"Oh no, you must have been injured, but unfortunately the scar doesn't seem to fade so easily."
"I mean, its scales seem to have a healing effect!" Mr. Yoi, who couldn't bear it anymore, told what he had found.
Fang Nuo, who was entangled by himself, quarreled with Fang Nuo: Why didn't I know?
Can one's own scales still help humans heal their wounds?
In the process of catapulting the building that was about to collapse, Fang Nuo lowered his head slightly, examining his newly grown scales.
After all, it's only the first day of growth, and it seems to be a normal thing to not know about your transformation and this special function.
In the next moment, they had "flew" out of the temple, and then fell into the forest not far away, and broke many redwood trees that had been judged to be "terminally ill" by the Bird Queen.
"Is this the way this snake turned itself into a spring to get us out of there?" Mr. Night crawled out from under Fang Nuo's huge body, the abrasions on his arms had all healed, "It's better for us to find a way to get out ourselves......
"Don't you think it's interesting to see the 'spring' of the giant serpent at such a close distance?"
"It's us who can be impeached." Mr. Night patted the dust off his body and said with a wry smile.
"We're still in the Dark Forest." The witch smiled at the corners of her mouth, and after looking around, her hands began to get busy, drawing all kinds of strange patterns and symbols in midair, "Take this opportunity, I will try to see if I can delay the beast tide that may occur at any time." β
"Yes, the village you are guarding is still facing this problem." Mr. Yoi glanced at the orc hybrids among them, "Ask this guy who is sensitive to atmospheric spiritual power, he might be able to help you deduce how many days you have to wait." β
"It must be a very uncomfortable feeling that the time of death is approaching." He slowly moved to the side of the snow-white giant snake that was paralyzed on the ground, and sat down against the surface of the giant snake, "It's better to get an accurate number directly, maybe you can prepare a tomb for yourself in advance." β
"I'm sure I'll get out of here before that day comes." He said to his companions, "Take the carriage and take all the goods of this journey back to Caslano." β
"The witch of the mountain village," he called the witch by her nickname, "can I confirm it again?" β
"Do you want to ...... Follow meβ" Mr. Night glanced at the Imperial Serpent Spirit Feather who was staring at the two of them, "Follow me and the Feathered Serpent, and leave this place?" β
"The outside world is more suitable for you."
He sat up straight, trying to make his tone appear sincere.
But he didn't notice that when he mentioned the word "carriage", the giant snake behind him opened his eyes wordlessly.
