A pyramid of stone stands in front of Aaron, built in the earliest Sarukh style of the Witchcraft, simple and simple, with little decoration other than the emblem of a serpent of the Cosmos.

There is a long road in front of the pyramid, the middle of which is very clean and tidy, and there are some stone statues on both sides.

Each statue was different, but Aaron soon discovered the pattern on the statue.

The outermost stone statue is the most typical human appearance, a naked human male and a human female kneeling on the ground, judging from the carving alone, except for the weathering suffered by the outer layer, they are all relatively pure humans.

The second row of stone statues in the Pyramid of Physiognomy has changed, and the two statues still appear to be human, but the difference can already be seen in the subtleties - scales grow on either side of their shoulders.

The changes in the third row of stone statues are even more pronounced, with scales, snake-like eyes, forked tongues, and fangs of venomous snakes.

In the fourth row of stone statues, the symbol of humanity is further lost, with the snake arm replacing the human arm and the snake tail replacing the human foot.

In the fifth row, the head of the snake is human, and in the sixth row, the head of the snake is the tail of the snake, and only the humanoid arms and torsos remain.

Their movements were also different before, and the outermost human was on his knees, humble as ants.

The snake man in the middle fell to one knee, like a slave waiting for orders.

The snake people behind the fifth row stood on the ground, only bowing their heads slightly in obedience, like vassals with status and status.

It wasn't until the seventh row that a creature distinctly different from the snake people appeared, and although they resembled it in appearance, they were distinctly more ornate and noble, dressed in robes adorned with precious stones, with a golden crown on their foreheads, and their eyes set with fine rubies, and they stood, clearly of higher status.

This is the end of the stone statue, and the gate of the pyramid is no longer a stone statue, but a giant serpent statue carved from a giant jade stone that surrounds the world.

Although Aaron had never seen the statue of the giant serpent, he knew from his previous knowledge that it was probably the "Universal Serpent" worshipped by the Saruch Witch and the Snake People Empire.

By analogy, the stone statue from the outside to the inside represents the process of "evolution".

Aaron began to think and analyze.

The outermost human beings are the lowest and most useless symbols, and they are not even worthy of slavery.

Humans who mutate slightly towards snake people are the lowest slaves, and they are only worthy of serving other snake people as the lowest existence among snake people.

The snake head or snake tail stone statue of the snake head or snake tail body that has initially completed the mutation has begun to possess weapons, and its status is obviously higher, and it only kneels on one knee in the face of the pyramid and waits for orders like a soldier.

In the end, the snake people who had successfully mutated had a higher status, and they no longer bowed down, but simply bowed.

Is this what the snake people understand as evolution?

Step by step, they abandon their human body, step by step to abandon their humanity, and finally climb the ladder, transform themselves into snake creatures, and gradually get closer to the god they believe in, the Cosmos Serpent.

So, the snake man in the seventh row is probably the legendary Salek Witch, right?

….

Mortals, so eager to be powerful, eager to become stronger, some choose to work hard to strengthen their own flesh, some choose to master the skills to reach the peak, and some choose to explore the realm of magic to contact the origin of the world.

All roads lead to Rome, but some people's roads are destined to be extremely difficult, such as legendary warriors who live for decades more than ordinary people, and most of the skills they are good at are slashing people.

Some people's paths are relatively much easier, such as the Warlock Miss Charlotte, as a Divine Soul Warlock, is born with a divine spark, and her lifespan can be comparable to that of the Seven Sisters of the Northland and Yin Erminster and others.

In the same way, there are those who choose to give up, to worship, to pray, to transform themselves into other beings in order to receive the mercy and gifts of the Higher Beings.

The snake people are such a race, they are a race created by the Saruk Witch, using a combination of human genes and the Witch's genes, but the Sauruk Witch retreated into the background and gradually

After the decline of the land, the snake people still maintained this fanatical worship, and they regarded humanity and human body as a symbol of lowliness, and rushed to transform themselves into snakes.

The closer you get to the Saruk Witch, the closer you get to the image of the Cosmos Serpent, the higher your status, and the more human-like you are, the lower your status.

Aaron finds it difficult to evaluate this behavior.

This reminded him of the ritual of the Chaos Believer, every Chaos Believer in the process of believing in Chaos, is a process of abandoning humanity and human body, they regard mutation as a blessing, madness as power, and ascension as the ultimate reward, from the most ordinary Chaos Warrior, to the Chaos Warrior, the Chaos Champion, the Chaos Chosen One, the Chaos Great Lord to the ultimate demon prince, it is a person's humanity and human body that have completely mutated into a model of subspace creatures.

The four gods of chaos are always so generous, and they are always so unsparing in rewards.

Onlookers may think that the snake man's behavior is ridiculous, but any question must consider the background of the era - for that ancient era, human beings were still drinking blood, and the Saruk witch was the ruling race of the continent, an interstellar civilization, for the snake people at that time, being the slave of the witch was the greatest glory, and the witch did represent the most powerful power of the most advanced civilization at that time.

In this case, it is natural for the snake people to worship witches, which is several times ahead.

At any time, the exchange of culture, technology, and ideas can bring progress, and the witches at that time were several times ahead of the times in all aspects, and perhaps for the snake people, their creator was the gods.

Is it wrong to worship God, to imitate God, to be God?

But Aaron didn't want to abandon humanity or his human body, he wanted to be a god of chaos and maintain his feelings of joy, anger and sorrow as a human.

This doomed him to resist in cooperation with the four gods of chaos, and cooperate in resistance.

He warned himself that he must never summon the clones of the Four Gods of Chaos again.

This summoning of Slaanesh's incarnation, he had already taken the trick to the extreme and succeeded in arousing Slaanesh's competitive spirit, but he still paid a very painful price, and he was not sure if his humanity and emotional functions would be completely invalid if he tried again.

That kind of thing, don't do it!

….

"Nasty snake man."

While Aaron was thinking, the female wanderer Elunora was checking the traps, and after she spent nearly half an hour making sure that the traps of the pyramid had been cleared, she came to the two dwarven corpses: "Hey, Lord Salian, look at this."

"What did you find?" In the darkness, Aaron relied on his dark vision magic to come to the corpses of the two dwarves.

The corpses behaved strangely, they were "new" on the one hand, apparently not long after they had died, and on the other hand, they were "old", and in some places they had rotted and exposed their bones.

"It's a trap!" Elunora played with the dagger in her hand, a dagger quenched with blue venom flipped like a butterfly in her hand, "The two dwarves want to climb onto the statue of the Saruch Witch and snap off their ruby-encrusted eyes."

"The snake people probably thought that there would be greedy people who would steal the gems from the statues, so they arranged magic traps on the gems." The female wanderer was a little cautious: "It's a petrified curse and an acid trap!"

"When a creature touches a gem, the petrification curse is triggered, and then strong acid erupts from the statue's mouth." The female wanderer pointed to the dwarf's half-melted head, "That's how these two dwarves died."

Strong Acid Trap, one of the most dangerous traps in low-level adventures, as strong acid is not only capable of inflicting massive damage in an instant, but also capable of creating continuous corrosive damage and negating the effects of various potions and healing spells afterward.

One of the most famous is the troll that Aaron and others have encountered, the troll's super strong regeneration ability allows it to heal quickly after taking a lot of damage, at this time, the adventurer's solution is to use fire or strong acid damage, because when receiving these two damages, the troll's regeneration ability will be invalid.

The early adventurers were most afraid of this, and only warriors or barbarians who had obtained a transcendent physique could rely on their physique

Attributes are forcibly exempted, which is why some legendary barbarians dare to bathe in the lava.

In the magic of the second ring, Aaron is most interested in the "Yoo Ma's strong acid arrow", but unfortunately he just can't learn it.

The slam-off power allows Aaron to be immune to toxins, but not to strong acids.

Looking at the ruby eyes on the statue of the witch, Aaron knew that it was worth more than 2,000 gold lion coins with a slight estimate, and looking at the eager expression of the female wanderer, Aaron shook his head: "What is on the dwarf?"

"Nothing." The female wanderer, apparently also a veteran of touching corpses, pulled out a handful of currency from the dwarf.

There were almost a dozen gold dragon coins and dozens of silver coins, which were minted in Waterdeep, and it was clear that the two dwarves were from Waterdeep.

In addition to this, the dwarves have only a few small rune stones on their bodies, which are symbols of their identity, a scroll with an unintelligible language written in the dwarven language, and a magic missile scroll worth 30 gold coins.

"Take it." Aaron said to the female wanderer that he was really not very interested in these miscellaneous things now, and that the two sides were now in a state of cooperation, and that Elunora was a mixed person, and that the appropriate favor and friendly attitude would allow her to recognize herself and avoid such a betrayal.

….

They have no sense of order and no sense of morality, so the relationship between the two parties is good or bad, and whether the other party approves of you directly determines the future.

To put it simply, if the three views do not match, buddies are not iron.

On the taste, the mixed people will not hesitate to be the enemy of the world and will stand with you, not to the eye, the mixed people are a sentence "repay in the next life" and then smile and watch you finish.

Elunora is a quasi-master wanderer, and Aaron doesn't know how Samir met her or what he said about her, and Alenora didn't talk about the payment, but only said that Aaron owed her a favor, so he came with a full set of equipment.

It can only be said that the organization of the Harpists League has always been very good at shaking people to help.

Whether it's the Santarim Society, the Red Robe Mage Society, the Night Lady Shar Church, or the Dragon Witch Cult, there are cases where the harpists are beaten all over the ground to find their teeth, but the harpists are always able to shake strong allies to turn defeat into victory.

"What a generous man." Elunora didn't refuse, and the female wanderer didn't seem to be very interested in wealth either, so she casually stuffed the coins into her pocket, and made a joke: "Hey, if only you had this kind of strong acid when you dealt with trolls in the forest, hahaha~"

Aaron stopped suddenly, and in a place that the female wanderer didn't see, his boy shrank up and shook for more than a second before slowly dispersing.

He understood where the female wanderer came from.

"What's wrong?" Elunora didn't see Aaron's expression.

"It's fine." Aaron shook his head steadily, he came to the door of the pyramid with his hands behind his back, and looked at the idol of the giant serpent of the universe: "Alert, give me a little time."

"Good~"

Aaron stood in front of the Cosmos Serpent for ten minutes, his eyes fixed on the idol and he didn't say a word.

The power of the female ganqi burst out with sparks, and she threw herself along Aaron's eyes at the idol.

After an incomparably long period of time, there is still an extremely faint wisp of divine power left on the statue that has fallen into a complete slumber.

That's enough!

Ten minutes later.

"Alright." Aaron motioned for Elunora to be okay.

The Children of Chaos headed straight towards the gates of the post-pyramid.

"Hey, are you crazy?" Seeing this, the female wanderer couldn't help but scream, "There's a mechanism at the door!"

"Huh." Aaron smiled.

What you want is a trap!

As he approached the entrance of the pyramid, the eyes of the giant serpent-headed statue above the gate immediately glowed red.

"Hiss~hiss~hiss~hiss~"

Spat a shrill hiss from the throat of the Children of Chaos, he

His eyes turned blood-red, and a phantom of a giant serpent revolving around the universe appeared from behind Aaron, turning.

The serpent's head reflected the fantasy in its red eyes, and listening to the hissing, it reacted:

"Welcome back, master."

"Winter~Winter~" The mechanism sounded, the pyramid gate activated, and Aaron walked into the tower with his hands behind his back.

The female wanderer behind him who watched the scene was dumbfounded.

Snake...... Snake old tongue?

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty
