Chapter 10: Infiltrating the Valley of the Snake
In the valley, Xu Yue looked at the equipment in his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly.
With this thing, the certainty of assassinating the Snake Demon King is even greater, and not only the Snake Demon King, he may be able to wipe out the entire Snake Valley.
Thinking of the terrain of the Snake Valley that he learned from the snake demon's mouth, the golden-red fire flashed in his eyes, and after reorganizing the plan in his mind, he withdrew the big sword into the space, and the painting skin in his hand fit his chest.
With the movement of his mind, the painted skin that was close to the skin quickly dissolved, turning into a puddle of cyan solution, which quickly spread along the skin, enveloping him whole.
After a while, Xu Yue in human form disappeared, and a domineering male snake demon appeared instead, the tall humanoid upper body was powerful, the arms were muscular, and the lower body was a thick blue-black snake tail, and the palm-sized Senleng snake scales were sealed layer by layer, looking like cast iron.
"Fortunately, the gender hasn't changed, and I thought it would be the form of the female snake demon before."
After looking at his current new form, Xu Yue sighed happily, and as he spoke, the scarlet snake letter spit out from his mouth unconsciously, and after he took it back, a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind.
"It's... Olfactory perception in snakes. ”
After sorting out the extra information in his mind, Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, tried to spit out the snake letter, and after swaying up and down, he withdrew his mouth.
Sure enough, he automatically recognized the smell of many creatures around him in his mind, the rabbit hidden in the grass in the distance, the mole walking underground, and the trajectory of the group of snake demons in the valley before, this information was quickly recognized by him through the snake letter in his mouth.
This disguise doesn't seem to be so simple, but it actually gives snakes the ability to discern scent factors.
After feeling the ability of the snake letter, he leaned against the rock beside him and began to stand up completely straight, and as the thick snake tail on his lower body stood upright, a large shadow was cast on the ground.
He was originally 1.85 meters tall, but after putting on the skin of a snake demon and standing still, his body size actually reached a height of 2.56 meters in one fell swoop, and his overall appearance looked domineering and fierce.
"Interesting."
The snake's tail swayed under Xu Yue's body, and his body had already climbed onto the large rock beside him, and the snake's tail was tightly wrapped around the boulder, and with the contraction of the snake's tail, the blue-black scale armor rubbed fine stone powder on the surface of the stone.
The cracking of the stone continued to sound, and finally after a bang, the boulder was completely crushed by the snake's tail, and in the rising gray smoke, a black shadow sprang out and ran in the direction of the valley, leaving a wide winding snake path in place.
………
Wilderness, Valley of the Black-scaled Serpent.
This is the only existing large snake demon gathering point outside Xingyang City, and every time it is close to noon, all the snake demons who go out to hunt will rush back to the valley.
At this time, it was the time for the snakes to return to the nest, and when they climbed the heights and looked, they saw that the endless group of snake demons was surging towards the snake valley from all directions, and the sound of the snake's tail rubbing was connected to one side, and the scene was particularly spectacular.
In addition to the snake demon, there are many prey captured by the snake demon, the beast roars in horror, and the desperate whimpering of humans is mixed with the sound of the snake demon as it advances, rendering this scene a touch of horror.
As a species that can gather and survive in the dangerous wild, each snake demon has a strong individual strength, although the upper body is close to that of humans, and they also have flexible palms, but they rarely rely on tools, and the only thing they rely on is their strong body and hard scale armor.
Different from thin humans, the body length of adult snake demons is more than five meters, and when they stand upright, their height can generally reach two meters two or three, and individual strong people can even grow to about two meters and five.
It is only in the Xuanwu Kingdom, a country where everyone practices martial arts, that the powerful race of the snake demon can be suppressed and roaming around in the wilderness.
At this time, among the returning snake demon group, a strong male snake man with an upright height of nearly two meters and six meters is undoubtedly the most outstanding and eye-catching group in the group, attracting frequent sideways glances from female snake demons in the team from time to time.
Xu Yue roamed through the ranks, ignoring the blazing gaze coming from all around, he was now assessing the numerical strength of this snake demon tribe.
According to the data obtained from the Assassin's Tavern, the average adult snake demon should only be two meters two or three, but after passing through his way, the size of the snake demon at this gathering point is basically more than two meters three, and there are nearly ten male snake demons who are about two meters six tall like him.
From this point of view alone, the strength of the snake demon of this tribe is far beyond that of ordinary tribes, and the strength is far exceeded, and the assassination of the weak group has eliminated the weak group of snake demons, and the rest are the best, and the snake demon king born in such a group must also be extraordinary.
During the observation, the Snake Valley soon appeared in front of Xu Yue's eyes, compared to the desolate scenery with scarce vegetation outside, the Snake Valley seemed to be much more vibrant.
A long river of clear water meanders through the side of the Snake Valley, which brings rare water and green life to the gathering point, which is why the snake demon king finally settled here after the merger of the three gathering points.
At the entrance of the Snake Valley, two tall snake demons who were even more than half a head tall than Xu Yue were guarding the sides, staring coldly at each snake demon who stepped into the Snake Valley, and the snake letters in their mouths were endless, constantly analyzing the smell factors of the coming and going.
It was none other than an assassin like Xu Yue who was on guard, and the camouflage was an assassin's specialty.
A few days ago, two of the top 100 assassins infiltrated the Snake Valley and launched an assassination campaign against the Snake Demon King.
But in the end, one person was blown up on the spot by the snake demon king, and the other person immediately fled when he saw that the situation was not good, and finally after paying the price of an arm, he was lucky to kill the snake valley.
Although this assassination did not cause many casualties, from that day on, the Snake Demon King sent two snake demons to guard the entrance to the Snake Valley in case similar incidents occurred.
However, this method may be able to find out the disguised assassin, but if you want to catch Xu Yue, who has almost completely turned into a snake demon, you have to think too much.
As he passed through the valley mouth, the snake demons guarding the sides were only attracted by his strong figure, and after looking at it twice, they didn't pay any more attention.
As for Xu Yue being a fresh face, there is nothing to worry about, every few days, there will be snake people from the wild rushing in, from the day the snake demon king was born, this tribe has been attracting a steady stream of foreign snake demons to start gathering.
If it weren't for the short time that the Snake Demon King was born, the number of snake demons in the tribe would have increased by at least three times, and at that time, this snake valley would really become a big problem for Xingyang City.
In fact, even if Xu Yue failed to kill the Snake Demon King today, then three days later, at most, the army of the City Lord's Mansion would directly start and besiege the Snake Valley, but it was difficult to say how many soldiers would be lost at that time.
Entering the Snake Valley, unlike the scene of white bones that Xu Yue imagined, the environment in the valley was actually quite neat, there was no foul smell, no corpses, only the green lawns everywhere and the huge rocks scattered around.
On the west side of the Snake Valley, there are also streams running through it, which are the biggest contributors to the vegetation that can be grown in this valley.
And on the rock walls on all sides of the Snake Valley, there are dozens of caves, large and small, which are the habitats and storage rooms of the snake demons.
The snake demons who returned with their prey, the first thing they did after entering the snake valley was to transport the prey they carried to a cave in groups.
As for the other snake demons, after entering the snake valley, they found a random place to lie down, noon is approaching, and they are now in a lazy state.
Xu Yue also found a rock at the edge, and then wound it up, looking down at the snake demons swimming below.
After transforming into a snake demon form, he inexplicably liked the feeling of the snake's tail entwining things, and judging from the fact that there were many boulders in the valley, this habit should be more than just a snake.
Waiting quietly, time passed minute by minute, and the snake demon returning at the mouth of the valley became more and more sparse, and it should be nearing the end.
At the edge of the Snake Valley, Xu Yue was lying quietly on the boulder, his tail occasionally slapping the stone wall under him a few times, looking a little careless, as time went by, more and more of the characteristics of the snake demon were reflected in him.
This is the instinctive erosion mentioned in the introduction of the equipment, of course, this is also the result of Xu Yue's deliberate indulgence, before the snake demon king comes out, he wants to let himself integrate into the identity of the snake demon as soon as possible, so as not to reveal flaws.
Suddenly, Xu Yue's divergent snake pupils condensed slightly, and he seemed to see an acquaintance among the snake demon prey that had just been transported in.
