Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 279 Poisonous Snake
What greeted Lewis was not a dungeon or a prison in the ordinary sense, but a wooden cage hanging on a tree. The cage could be raised and lowered. When it was raised to a high place, it was more than ten meters from the ground, and there was no touchable object around it.

It was obvious that these elves were particularly experienced in dealing with prisoners escaping.

"Okay, okay, I'll go in." The male elf behind him pushed and shoved, and Lewis had to enter the cage and rise to a height of more than ten meters with the cage.

There were several guards under the cage, preventing Lewis from escaping.

"Little brother, why are you reacting so strongly? It's just chopping down a few trees for you." Lewis sat in the cage and tried to ask the guarding elf some words.

The male elf turned a deaf ear and had no intention of talking to him.

"Tsk..."

Lewis asked repeatedly but no elf paid any attention to him. He could only wait until the next batch of elves took over and try to continue talking.

Lewis was kept in a cage for two days in a row, which gave him the mood to look for the spiritual world that he had never explored.

He needs to learn how to travel through the spirit world, which can save him some trouble in traveling.

If you want to find the spirit world, using astral bodies is the easiest way to search.

Lewis transformed himself into a soul state. He used his astral body and dream divination to communicate, and was able to see the world that overlapped with reality and was everywhere.

The soul touched a thin film that was like the surface of water, and then fell into a place without up, down, left, or right. The places and spaces in reality were compressed and overlapped, making it impossible to distinguish between direction and space.

Not far away, Miss Elana was busy building a wooden house with the sound of clanging.

Lewis did not dare to rush forward to talk to Miss Elana. No one knew whether it was the real Miss Elana or a projection from the past or the future.

If you are not familiar with the spiritual world and move around rashly, your spirit may get lost here.

After just one look, Lewis returned to reality. As the astral body returned to his body again, his body also opened its eyes.

"The messenger can come at any time according to my location, because there is no such thing as direction and space in the spiritual world, and even no such thing as time.

Perhaps, I can build a storage place in the spirit world and store the items inside. As long as this place can always locate me, I can use the sealed items inside at any time."

"time to eat!"

The elf below shouted, and a clay plate filled with fruit was hung up by a rope and sent out of the cage.

"Fruit again."

Lewis complained but ate something anyway.

After dinner, he lay in the cage and looked up at the sky.

The weather tonight didn’t seem very good, dark clouds gathered together, as if it was going to rain, and the crimson moonlight shone on Lewis’ face through the gaps in the clouds.

That’s right, the Crimson Moon can still be seen here, which means that the Outer God in the starry sky may influence the Western Continent.

"Ok?"

Lewis frowned, and a rustling sound came into his ears.

After thinking for a while, Lewis knocked on the cage twice and reminded the guard below:

"Little brother, something happened!"

The guard below looked up and still ignored Lewis.

Lewis sighed, and based on the principle of humanitarianism, he reminded again: "There are snakes rushing here, densely packed."

This time, the guard moved, and he and another guard whispered to each other, talking in a whisper that Lewis could easily hear. After a while, one male elf left, and the other male elf stayed here.

Not long after the guard left, countless torches lit up in the elves' camp. Male elves carrying crossbows rushed to the outside of the tribe and set up a line of defense in the direction of the venomous snakes.

Lewis watched the elves busying around with boredom. If he didn't want to know what was going on, he might have called Miss Elana at this time and slipped away from the spirit world.

Not long after, a group of snakes appeared in Lewis's sight. These snakes had red and black stripes and looked very poisonous.

It didn't seem like those poisonous snakes were passing by here. It seemed like they came specifically to attack the elves. The poisonous snakes gathered in front of the elves' camp and rushed in all at once.

"These snakes seem a little abnormal. They have a clear purpose." Lewis looked at the poisonous snakes in front of him, and a faint feeling of disgust rose in his heart.

As the female elf gave her command, arrows carrying hurricane force hurled into the snake group. These arrows were very powerful, and one arrow could kill dozens of poisonous snakes at a time.

But unfortunately, there were too many poisonous snakes, and they kept crawling forward even if their bodies were injured or broken.

Soon, the poisonous snake shortened the distance between the two sides to less than 20 meters, and the distance was still shortening.

At this moment, the female elf who had been at the back began to chant a magnificent poem. A golden light burst out from her body, and a two-meter-high wall of fire was ignited in the path of the venomous snake.

"Crackling..."

Poisonous snakes kept passing through the wall of fire. Their bodies were burnt and emitted a foul smell, but they still twisted and rolled as they rushed forward.

Until a poisonous snake bit a male elf in the front...

The male elf screamed a few times, the wound turned black, and he soon lost consciousness.

As a poisonous snake broke through the wall of fire, more and more poisonous snakes crossed the wall of fire and attacked the elves' defense line.

The female elf once again emitted golden light all over her body, and beads of sweat appeared on her body.

As her chanting became louder and louder, another wall of fire appeared, blocking the poisonous snakes out.

However, the weather tonight is not very good.

Just as the female elf was trying her best, a muffled thunder exploded in the sky.

The raindrops as big as beans arrived as expected, extinguishing the torches and the two walls of fire used to defend against poisonous snakes.

The poisonous snakes were nourished by the rain and became even more ferocious. They rushed forward one after another and broke through the elves' defense line.

Lewis, squatting in the cage, continued to watch. He did not feel sad about the passing of life, nor did he feel sympathy for the elf's crying.

If they don't find an anchor, every demigod will become like him, gradually losing their emotions and becoming numb.

“Please help us.”

Suddenly, Lewis heard the female elf who was commanding the battle open her mouth. Her voice was soft but full of anxiety.

The female elf's eyes were exceptionally bright at night, with rain and tears mixed together and dripping continuously from the corners of her eyes.

There was pleading and pain in those eyes.

"Ok."

Suddenly, Lewis smiled faintly.

He had to admit that he was somewhat moved at this moment.
