Chapter 206 Attack of the Black Scales
Tat...
In the dark corridor, a series of messy footsteps suddenly broke the original silence, and at the same time, a series of faint blue lights as faint as fireflies also slowly appeared at a corner... At this time, at the top of the corridor, an inexplicable object suddenly disappeared in the darkness. The object was so fast that it could hardly be locked by the naked eye, as if it had never existed...
Slap...
As the footsteps approached, the light gradually drove out the darkness in the corridor, but the light could not illuminate some dead corners, such as the top, corners and sides... As the footsteps approached, some low sounds began to echo in the corridor, especially a sound containing fear and trembling...
"Sister... This place is so dark... Let's go out... There is nothing here anyway..."
Mina, who was holding Artoria's arm tightly, closed her eyes tightly, and her whole body trembled constantly. As if she could see something terrifying as soon as she opened her eyes. Although Artoria was not as scared as Mina, her eyes were full of vigilance and alertness. The corridor in this pyramid was quite wide, and almost allowed four trucks to walk side by side. Although they had walked nearly 500 meters and had not encountered any "trouble", everyone knew that this pyramid was definitely not a safe place...
"Safi, this place seems to be much bigger than it looks, and...it seems to be only one road."
Walking beside Yue Yu Tower, Kakashi leisurely put his hands behind his head and looked at the dark corners around him lazyly. He found that after walking for so long, he didn't seem to have touched any places such as stone chambers or altars. It seemed that there was only a wide avenue inside the entire pyramid. And according to the length of the corridor, it seemed that the space inside the pyramid was much larger than that outside.
"No... there are actually many partitions for sacrificial offerings in this pyramid, but I don't have that much time to see them one by one..."
Yue Yulou glanced at the side of the corridor. He had long seen that there were separate small rooms in those places, and there were many offerings offered by snake people to the Dragon God. Of course... there were also some snake people who guarded the Dragon God until death. Although he didn't care about those guards, he didn't want to continue wasting time.
"... Moreover, this pyramid is not bigger inside than outside... Have you not noticed it? We are actually walking up all the time. This corridor is a quadrilateral spiral that extends upwards. However, the angle of lifting of each section of the corridor is very small, so it is difficult to detect it... Just pay attention to it later and you will find that every time we pass a corner, the length of the corridor will be shorter..."
After hearing Yue Yulou's words, Kakashi's exposed left eye immediately opened, quickly put down his hands, and then placed a gold coin on the ground. When he let go, the gold coin really rolled behind him...
"You can see this... I think you know the thing in front of you?"
"Um……"
After hearing Yue Yulou's answer, Kakashi immediately stood up, patted his hands, and then he immediately returned to his lazy appearance and continued to follow Yue Yulou forward...
"What is the center of that pyramid?"
Thinking of Yue Yu Tower before, Kakashi suddenly thought of a question. Since the corridor of the pyramid rises in a spiral shape, does it mean that the center of the pyramid is hollow? It is unreasonable to think about this kind of thing, but if it is not hollow, what would it be? They are all gold bricks? And according to Yue Yu Tower, although there are many separate rooms on the side of the corridor, those rooms only have one gate, which means that there is no second road in the pyramid except the corridor.
"Don't you know when you're at the end..."
Seeing that Yue Yulou didn't seem to want to reveal the secret of the pyramid in advance, Kakashi stopped asking anything, but continued to move forward...
Swallow... Swallow...
As we walked... for some reason, the speed of the team suddenly slowed down. Everyone seemed to have noticed something wrong. It seemed that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at them tightly. At the same time, some extremely faint sounds began to sound. One by one, strange and ferocious black shadows began to move slowly in every corner. Even those who could not see all this could feel that suffocating fear was surrounding them...
"Sister...Sister...It seems like there is something...thing..."
Even Mina, who had closed her eyes, felt the atmosphere of fear. If Artoria had not held her in time, she would have fallen to the ground at this time, and Artoria would not feel very uncomfortable, because she also felt that countless pairs of cold eyes were locking on her. That feeling was really indescribable. If she had done it now, she would probably have to exert her strength at most 70% of her strength...
"Haha, what a clever [Spell of Fear], I am worthy of being the priest among the snake man...the Immortal Light."
Yue Yulou, who stopped, smiled slightly, then slowly raised his right hand, and at the same time, an extremely dazzling white light burst out from his right hand, which immediately made everyone close their eyes, and there were also shrill screams around him, a bit like the wailing sound of the night owl...
"Safi...you are..."
A few seconds later, Artoria, who had recovered her vision, was about to ask Yue Yulou why she released the spell without calling him, but suddenly she realized that all the discomfort she had disappeared. Although she could still feel something around, she was no longer affected. The smart one immediately thought that she must have been cursed before...
Whoosh...
Soon, a rapid low sound rang out, and then more than a dozen strange creatures immediately attacked everyone from the side of the corridor, and the top of the front. Those creatures did not seem to be snake people, because they were all crawling rapidly with their limbs, and as they appeared, waves of choking sour smell began to be confused in the air.
"Qian Liuyun...go to solve those things..."
With Yue Yulou's order, Qian Liuyun, the "Sword Saint of Four Seas", immediately pulled out a long sword, and then suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight. Then, there were bursts of sharp weapons cutting flesh and blood coming from front. Some sharp-eyed players even saw those creatures and instantly turned into several segments. After asking Qian Liuyun to solve those unknown creatures, Yue Yulou immediately called the team to continue moving forward...
“These things are…”
After walking for a while, some things were cut into several segments appeared on the ground. Looking at the creatures on the ground that were not dead, everyone's stomachs were twitching because they were too ugly. The things were dark all over, with limbs similar to lizards, sharp claws on their limbs, and their bodies were similar to snake people, and they were wearing quite exquisite golden armor. However... the exposed part of their torso was covered with brown lines, similar to blood vessels, densely packed like earthworms, and their heads were oval, amazingly long, without eyes, only tentacles were similar to those in the ears. The tail of this creature was very similar to that of the snake people, but there was an extra spike. Just looking at the faint blue light on the spike, you can tell how violent the poison was...
"The Black Snake God Guard... The Dark Dragon gives the power to the Snake Man clan. Only the snake man who passed the test can transform into creatures through the priest's rituals, and his strength is also quite strong... Now they have become undead, so most of their abilities cannot be used. When they are alive, they have the top level of the fourth level..."
The current class of these Black Snake God Guards is also at the third level, which is actually not low. Only by encountering a ruthless person like Qian Liuyun can they appear so vulnerable. After they die, the equipment they dropped is quite rich, especially the weapons in their hands and armor on their bodies. They have not corrupted for thousands of years, and the level is above level 4. Those players who picked up the equipment all smiled on their faces, completely forgot their original fears...
"Haha, Qian Liuyun, have you discovered that priest?"
Looking at Qian Liuyun standing aside and gently wiping the long sword in his hand, Yue Yulou smiled with satisfaction. Yue Yulou was not disgusted with this member who almost never spoke. He knew that Qian Liuyun had just been addicted to swordsmanship for a long time and was not good at communicating with others. After hearing Yue Yulou's inquiry, Qian Liuyun slowly inserted the long sword into the scabbard around his waist, then nodded gently, and pointed to the corner in front of him...
Yue Yulou then took Kakashi to the position pointed by Qian Liuyun in front. As soon as he got there, a gray air ball suddenly shot towards Yue Yulou. However, soon the gray air ball dissipated one meter in front of Yue Yulou. At the same time, a soul-returning snake man wearing a gorgeous robe and holding a golden scepter inlaid with huge gems and covered with black scales was immediately exposed to the two of them...
"Black Scale Priest...I had a few encounters with your high priest back then, but I didn't expect..."
Looking at the snake man priest in front of him who had always guarded his beliefs in his heart, whether he was alive or after his death, Yue Yulou's thoughts couldn't help but float back to the past, and back to those days when he was still Sasus...
Whoosh...
If Yue Yulou doesn't act, it doesn't mean that the snake man priest doesn't act. Its soul now has only one idea to destroy any enemy that invades the altar. So with a slight sound, a black lightning flashed out of the scepter in the blink of an eye and attacked Yue Yulou, which seemed to be in a hazy state...
"Ah... things change... everything goes with the wind..."
With a sigh, the lightning also hit Yue Yulou at the same time. It did not produce any effect except that the corner of his clothes was slightly moved. The snake man priest was also grabbed by a big hand formed by a flame at that time, and then quickly became a small pinch of ashes...
"It's so literary to kill people... Being a leader is indeed very troublesome..."
