Dean looked out.

In front of it is a vaulted hall, and the temperature is much higher than in the cave, and it is as warm as spring.

The vault is more than 20 meters above the ground, and the terrain is as vast as a football field in the range illuminated by fluorescent lichen, and the walls and roofs are carefully polished and smooth as mirrors, which is completely different from the narrow and primitive nature of the previous caves.

On the central platform of the hall stand four huge columns supporting the vault, the surface of which is engraved with spherical patterns, like intertwined planets and constellations.

The wall on the right was lined with neat holes, and a bright red, viscous liquid flowed outward, sliding down the grooves in the wall into the ditches around the hall, and wrapping around the central platform.

The liquid was bubbling hot, and fine pieces of meat floated on the surface, giving off a strong fishy and rusty smell.

Seth's four-headed newborn snake demon couldn't help but shrug its nose, popping out its fangs and claws, growing scales, and spitting out a letter and hissing with hunger, but its eyes were extremely struggling.

Resisting bloodthirsty instincts.

"It's all freshly squeezed blood," Dean mused, "so the flesh crushed by the huge juicer under the bar is transported into this hall to feed it." ”

"Offering to whom?" Katie shuddered,

"The true owner of this temple, the supreme being of the Blood Sacrifice Gang - the Phantom Serpent," Professor Aiden looked to the deepest part of the platform, where a long, narrow behemoth lay in the dimly lit darkness.

Just looking at its hill-like silhouette, everyone felt a strong shock of gazing at a prehistoric behemoth.

Among them, Seth and Jacob's four-headed snake demon trembled involuntarily, and fell to their knees as soon as they became weak.

"What's crazy, Seth, was you shot in the knee, hurry up?" Ricky tugged at his brother's shoulders and tried to pull him up, but he couldn't pull him.

"Shet, I can't control myself," Seth's scaly face was covered with beads of sweat, and an unconsciously respectful expression, "as if another force was manipulating me." ”

After speaking, he raised his hands and bowed to the ground in the direction of the black shadow.

Scott and Gonzalez followed in their footsteps, their cheeks pressed against the cold ground, their bodies humbled into the dirt.

Dean and Aiden shook their heads when they saw this, so it seemed that in addition to being bloodthirsty, the snake demon also had the fatal flaw of fanatical worship of the source of the bloodline.

"God forbid—" Only Jacob's blushing face bent back desperately, resisting the mysterious call,

"Stop struggling, obey it." Katie said with an anxious face, "Don't hurt yourself! ”

"I will not bow down to pagan gods!" Jacob prayed in a hoarse voice, "Mother of God, please send your holy angels to protect us and keep the demons away from us, Amen!" ”

"Quiet!" Dean unleashed his telekinesis and forcibly fixed the trembling bodies of the four snake demons.

But the beings in the darkness in the distance were already aware of their movements.

Hiss...

The shadow soared into the air, its head against the vault, flicking its conical tail against the ground, spreading a pair of massive wings at its sides, and flying near the hole, letting out short, piercing screams along the way.

The poisonous snakes that hovered outside the entrance of the cave crawled on the ground in unison, not daring to look up.

Dean felt as if the air in the hall had solidified, and the air pressure around him had skyrocketed tenfold, squeezing his body pervasively, forcing him to kneel forward, his bones rattling as if they were about to be torn.

The people around him could not resist this pressure, and they lay on the ground one after another, unable to move, like the most devout believers.

Dean bit the tip of his tongue, fishy sweetness poured into his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the telekinetic giant palm shifted his companion to the hidden corners on either side of the hall.

The three layers of protection of life shield, ghost armor, and telekinesis shield wrap the body, and guns, bombs, arrows, spears... Transcendent weapons flew out of the fantasy space and hovered behind him, rolling a blurry glow.

The next second he held his breath.

The huge figure came into view.

It had a large head like a wagon, a dark brown snake body more than twenty meters long, and its whole body was covered with scales and bright feathers, and the dense feathers on its tail swept across the ground like countless arthropods swinging neatly, making a tooth-aching brushing sound.

Where its head and body meet, there are a pair of colorful wings, which are flapped gently to make its upper body stand upright.

The death, decay, and fishy aura of this ancient creature that had been precipitated for hundreds of years condensed in the pitch-black pupils, diffusing a dazzling radiance.

Dean looked up uncontrollably into these eyes, and then saw a magnificent illusion in the two vertical pupils—a sudden crack in the chaotic darkness, and the brilliant Milky Way poured out, spreading out like colorful ribbons in the dark universe, tumbling endlessly.

A loud, majestic hiss echoed in Dean's mind, and he was clearly human, but he could understand the meaning of the voice without hindrance.

"I am darkness and light."

"I am the past and the future."

"I am the universe."

"Open your heart and accept my will, and the mysteries of the starry sky will be revealed to you, and eternal life will be imprinted into your body."

"You will be immortal with me!"

Dean's brain was buzzing, and he stood in place in a trance.

But the "Mirror Shield" specialty in the panel flickered, and his powerful will came into play, and his dilated pupils recondensed, and he suddenly woke up from the grand illusion of the universe and the brainwashing demonic sound.

Then he found himself off the ground at some point, standing on top of a dark red, bouncy snake letter with a forked tip, carpet.

Half a meter ahead, the pale giant face of the phantom snake was facing his body, and two huge eyeball lanterns, one on the left and one on the right, shone on him, grinning wide, revealing a black hole-like mouth and throat.

But it didn't intend to swallow Dean in one gulp, but instead did something extremely evil-

A slender serpent spat out of its throat, its dark brown body snaking through the air, its jaws open and its two fangs opening and closing to bite Dean on the neck, trying to mark him somehow.

If you are bitten, you lose your freedom!

Is this to imprison me like the Queen of the Night?

A strong instinct surged, and Dean reached out and summoned a long knife from behind.

Clasp your hands.

The power of the body, the power of thought, and the life energy converged on the arc-shaped blade in an instant, and it slashed down with lightning and flint.

The phantom snake didn't seem to expect the other party to come to his senses, and when he was caught off guard, the poisonous snake that spit out of his mouth was suddenly cut off by the sharp blade.

Dean continued to slash down, and cut off the dark red carpet letter under his feet!

In a tenth of a breath, the giant snake suffered a heavy blow, and Dean put the fallen dead snake head into space, and teleported to the innermost part of the hall a hundred meters away.

The next second.

A deafening roar erupted from behind him, and an invisible blast of air spread around the serpent's massive body.

The serpent flicked its huge tail and whipped the ground and walls.

The heavens are shaking!

The entire hall seemed to have been hit by an eight-magnitude earthquake, countless rubble fell, dust and mist rose up, the four central pillars trembled violently, and patches of blood splashed from the ditch, staining the ground red.

Jacob and the others in the corner of the wall directly snorted and fainted.

In this terrifying movement.

Dean, who was 100 meters away, was only slightly numb in his brain, and was not materially harmed.

But he didn't pursue, a faint instinct prompted him to bow his head.

Next to the blood-colored ditch in the deepest part of the platform lay dozens of skeletal snake demons, enclosed in a circle end to end, falling into a deep coma.

Dean's gaze swept over one of the women with long black hair and a shawl and a thin face, and was surprised to find that the woman's facial features were six points similar to his.

Then a sense of familiarity came over the blood—

This is the woman they have been looking for.

Lena lay in the heart of the temple, in the lair of the phantom snake.

The progress of "bloodline" jumped to sixty percent.

Shadow was shocked, and liquid moonstone-like tears flowed from his eyes.

"Lena? I've finally found you! ”

"Found you!"

But before Dean and Shadow could wake up Lena, the earthquake at the mouth of the cave stopped, and the black lantern-like eyes swept across the four pillars, and their pupils boiled with hellish horror.

Dean immediately understood what it meant.

The ant-like humans refused to transform and shamelessly attacked it, only to die!

Swish!

Dean and Shadow moved Lena to a hidden corner, and in a flash of form, they moved away from the place where the basilisk hibernated—

It's impossible to take Lena away without solving the Phantom Snake.

Woohoo!

Dean took the lead in attacking, recalling the Full Moon Bow from the group of weapons hovering behind him, pulling the bow on the string, and dancing with both hands to send out an afterimage towards the eyes of the Phantom Snake with ten bursts of demon-breaking arrows, and at the same time turning on the perception suppression.

The moment the arrow hit the Phantom Snake, it was bounced away by the solid force field around its body, and it didn't even scratch a feather, but the power of suppression silently seeped into its body, weakening its perceptual attributes.

The light in front of the Phantom Serpent's eyes dimmed slightly, but the slight change could not dampen its intent to attack.

Its massive body curled up in an S shape, then suddenly let go, and fluttered towards Dean on the other side, its colorful feathers glittering in mid-air, swinging rhythmically like rows of oars, its outstretched wings like a paraglider, casting a shadowy shadow on the ground.

The white light that filled his body was like the midday sun, piercing Dean's eyes and almost blinding him.

Di An'an also made a judgment, this thing has at least seventy or eighty tons of power, and there is no way to hit it hard!

Only kite flying!

Dean fired two arrows at it and then turned and flew away, reversing direction.

Bang!

The phantom snake slammed into the stone wall.

In the flying dust, the shadow on the other side of the platform opened up the realm, reducing its attributes by ten percent, and applying a second negative effect.

At the same time, the heat is manipulated, and patches of white ice crystals condense on the scales and feathers of the Phantom Snake, limiting its speed and vitality.

The phantom snake is too large and the ice crystals have a limited and slow effect.

But the triple negative effect works at the same time.

It moved slightly slower than Dean, and in the following chase it passed by a fraction of a second, knocking cracks into the walls around it, causing terrifying tremors.

Dust rose in the air.

Lichen green light flashes.

If one looks from a distance, one can spot a brightly colored serpent chasing a nimble archer through the hall.

Colorful wings agitate.

The serpent wriggled and twisted, flew, and rampage, causing endless cracks, rubble, and vibrations that seemed to crush the entire world into ruins.

But the archer always managed to avoid the impact, and the agility of his body and the accuracy of his prediction were breathtaking, and the bow and arrow in his hand were replaced by bazookas and grenade launchers, and flames were blasted into the serpent's body.

After a minute of stalemate.

The Phantom Snake's vision began to blur and ghost, and when it realized that something was wrong, its body shook, radiating out a circle of spatial ripples visible to the naked eye, opening up a whole new realm.

Wisps of green smoke in the realm walked up and down like living creatures, and when they touched Dean's life shield, they frantically drilled into it, igniting and melting it at a terrifying speed.

If left unchecked, in less than half a minute, the shield will be completely lifted!

"Toxic Domain?"

Dean's face was solemn, and he released the life energy accumulated by the cells to replenish the shield.

Shadow waved his hand forward, and dozens of transcendent weapons hovering behind him shot out, turning into a silver torrent to bombard the back of the Phantom Snake's neck, and a large field of firework burst into the air.

But the protective force field outside the beast's body was incredibly strong, almost capable of resisting missiles, and it was all over its body, and only a few tufts of feathers and scales were lost under the repeated bombardment.

It swooped in speed and swayed like lightning, leaning down and then erecting its upper body, its massive wings curling up the gravel, its venom-dripping fangs opening and closing, and in the process it slashed at a wobble pillar, wrapping its body around it, curling up, and catapulting toward Dean.

The fishy wind blows in the face.

Several arrows whistled out from Dean Ann's full moon bow, striking the Phantasmagor's flying body.

He was about to dodge to the right when a strange illusion suddenly appeared in front of him, and the giant snake split to the left and right, turning from one to three, taking up all the space to dodge.

This very deceptive scene caused Dean to hesitate for a moment, and continued to dodge to the right with his instincts.

He chose the right direction, but after a moment of hesitation, he lost the opportunity, and the phantom snake body in the center flicked its huge tail like a whip, and with a terrifying whirring, it suddenly struck him sideways.

Crackling!

The sheer force of seventy tons shattered the life shield and half of Dean's body in an instant.

He was like a water bag that had been pumped, gushing blood and flesh, dragging a shocking red mist in the air, throwing dozens of meters away, and crashing into the rock wall at the mouth of the cave.

A humanoid pit popped out and crashed into the cave entrance.

Dean slid to the ground in tattered and inhuman.

Immediately, the platinum flames around his body boiled, and the iron man's specialty and abnormal self-healing took effect at the same time, and the fleshy body quickly healed, growing strong and hard muscles.

……

Finally hitting the jumping "little mouse", the phantom snake's pale face turned red, and it was enchanted by blood and screams of pain, and excitedly opened its mouth to spit out the regrown letter, and the feathers and scales around it pulsated gently in celebration.

However, it has been hit by a large number of long-range attacks with sensory suppression, and its vision, hearing, smell, and sixth sense have been greatly reduced unconsciously.

So much so that the attack from the flanks was not perceived in the slightest.

A flash of silver.

The shadow swirled with a silver storm of weapons and blasted into the Phantom Serpent's open mouth, the only place where there was no force field to protect it.

Puff puff... Meat grinder like repeated cutting.

The snake letter, mouth, throat, and trachea were removed in an instant.

The two fangs flew, and most of the Phantom Snake's face shattered into dark red flesh, revealing the white bones of Sensen.

Ahhh

In a terrible wail, the exhaled breath of its chest and abdomen shook the weapons swarm, and the wings on its back closed forward to form a helmet to block the attack on its mouth.

It lunged into the blood canal at the edge of the platform, burying its face in it and swallowing it, the oozing wound healing itself.

……

Do you still need to eat to heal yourself?

At the edge of the cave, rising from the ground, Dean who had recovered from his injuries watched the scene,

"Is it because the body is huge, so the consumption is also huge?"

"But if you finally find a weakness and attack the inside of your body through your eating mouth, you can cross the defensive force field and hit this beast hard!"

As soon as he turned his gaze, Seth and Gonzalez woke up from their coma in disgrace, and looked nervously around them in the distance.

"Man, let's fight side by side and kill this monster together!"

"We can heal ourselves, we are not afraid of injury!"

"Destroy this monster to escape!"

"Can you do anything to the gods? Didn't you instinctively worship and revere the phantom snake before? ”

"Just now, the anomalies were gone." Jacob's eyes looked at the monster sipping the blood fountain in the distance, "It seems that we have been freed from a shackle and no longer fear it. ”

Dean thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that the snake head he originally collected in the space was estimated to have a great future, and by cutting it off, the phantom snake also lost the power to command the snakes.

"Then protect yourself, I hope we can see the sun again!"

Dean nodded at the crowd, grabbed his bow and arrows, and the bowstring hummed, and flew towards the Phantom Serpent again!
