Chapter 454 Pyramid
Looking at these snake bones, Su Muyao didn't feel creeped out; instead, she felt a heavy, suffocating feeling in her chest.
She felt extremely depressed looking at these snake bones.
It's as if through these snake bones, one can see what the snake-beastman once went through.
They are not inherently cold-blooded; on the contrary, they are naturally warm-hearted and maintain a sincere heart towards other tribes of orcs.
But some force changed everything.
She could sense the carnage that had once taken place here.
The stones next to the snake bones were covered with knife marks, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Su Muyao took a deep breath, suppressing the discomfort in her chest, and asked, "System, what happened to you just now?"
Why haven't you said anything?
If the system hadn't spoken up at that moment, Su Muyao would have almost forgotten about the system's recent anomaly.
The system said, "I don't know what happened just now, but I fell into a deep sleep and just woke up."
Su Muyao communicated with the system telepathically: "So you don't know what I just experienced and saw?"
The system exclaimed in surprise, "Host, what have you just experienced? I just fell asleep and don't know anything."
"Although I fell into a deep sleep, I subconsciously felt that you would be alright."
Su Muyao was silent for a moment, then briefly told the system about these things.
He then said, "The box I put in my space contains the Serpent God's reverse scale, and it has a portion of his primordial spirit power left behind. It should be able to be used to deal with Nan Feng."
"And I don't know why, but through this reverse scale, I seem to know which direction to continue in to find Nanxi."
She now had a direction in her heart, or perhaps she should say she felt the power of a calling.
She looked down at her collarbone, where the mark of the ancient celestial serpent was faintly visible, radiating a scorching heat.
But the scorching heat didn't make her uncomfortable; instead, it gave her a feeling of being enveloped in warmth.
It seems like it's been like this ever since they got that "reverse scale".
Moreover, she felt no discomfort walking through this cold and gloomy place and seeing so many snake bones.
Of course, Su Muyao was worried that Xiao Jihan might feel unwell, so she held hands with him along the way, conveying her strength to him.
The system exclaimed in shock, "It's actually the legendary Serpent God's Reverse Scale! My God, this thing has actually ended up in your hands, host!"
"It's like he's entrusting his life to you, meaning you can kill him or let him live."
"This is too much trust in you. Besides, the Serpent God's Reverse Scale is something that magic weapon power can't compare to."
"The reverse scale is the hardest part of the snake god's body. That place is the seven-inch spot. The snake god's reverse scale not only possesses the power of his primordial spirit but also his original power. It can be used for defense and combat."
"When you're not fighting or using it, you can wear it on your body as a protective shield. It can protect you in critical moments. Why would you bear to leave it in your space?"
"Hey, if you had had this scale before, Nan Feng definitely wouldn't have been able to kill you."
The system could sense the powerful force of the reverse scale in the space, and it was somewhat moved and sighed.
I wish the host had gotten this taboo earlier.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
Hearing the system say this, Su Muyao felt even more that it was a treasure.
Unexpectedly, the snake god gave it to her like that.
This shows a lot of trust in her.
Isn't the Snake God afraid that she will kill all the ancient celestial serpents?
Of course, she would never do that. She would not harm either Nanxi or Jingchu in the slightest.
But not Nan Feng; she was determined to kill him.
She died once because of Nan Feng. Yue Wuhen died to save her, which means that Yue Wuhen died because of Nan Feng.
This is absolutely unforgivable. Thinking of this, a wave of resentment washed over Su Muyao.
Just as a wave of frustration washed over her, the Reverse Scale emitted a light and a warm aura, seemingly soothing Su Muyao's emotions silently.
The gloom that had been hanging over Su Muyao dissipated instantly.
The system naturally sensed this as well, and exclaimed, "Host, this 'reverse scale' just seemed to be comforting your emotions. It seems to be able to sense your feelings."
Su Muyao said, "It's probably because I formed a pact with Wen Nanxi and have the mark of the ancient celestial serpent on my body, which resonates with this reverse scale."
The serpent god also said that only she could use this reverse scale.
He said he would acknowledge her as his master, despite her perceived weakness.
Su Muyao let her consciousness enter the space and gently touched the reverse scale. "Thank you."
For the rest of the journey, Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan traveled much more smoothly.
Perhaps because they had the snake god's reverse scale on their bodies, no insects or snakes came near them along the way.
Those mutated, dangerous beasts and even mutated plant vines no longer attacked them.
The system exclaimed, "As expected of the Serpent God's Reverse Scale! Ever since the host acquired the Serpent God's Reverse Scale, the journey has been smooth sailing."
"The journey was fraught with danger."
At first, neither the host nor Xiao Jihan dared to rest. Even if they sat down to rest for a moment, all sorts of dangers would emerge from the surrounding vegetation and the ground.
"Yes, it's been much easier this way, and we can travel much faster."
Without having to worry about the dangers of the dense forest, the journey will naturally be faster.
The system said, "Host, I feel that the Snake God is protecting you."
"This place used to be the temple of the Snake God. The Snake God was the only god in this area. Even though the temple is abandoned and the Snake God is no longer here, his divine power is still on your reverse scale. No living creature in this place dares to harm you."
"Moreover, with the reverse scale, you can break through all illusions, and the miasma and illusion here will have no effect on you."
Hearing these words, Su Muyao felt even more grateful to the snake god.
The thought of her resemblance to Wen Nanxi made Su Muyao's heart uneasy.
She knew she missed Wen Nanxi terribly.
……
A month later, Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan finally emerged from the mountains. Her gaze swept across the distant, misty wasteland and she saw a pyramid-like structure.
This pyramid-like stone structure, like the spine of a prehistoric beast, rises abruptly from the wind-swept earth.
When sunlight shines through the tower, it projects intricate star-patterned patterns onto the ground.
Looking at the tower, Su Muyao sensed the presence of Wen Nanxi.
She could sense the presence of her beast husbands even when they were close by.
The system said, "What a peculiar building, with flowing runes and stars on it. Such a building must have very strong defensive capabilities."
"This doesn't resemble the kind of architecture we would find in our Beast World continent."
The system found this building extremely unfamiliar, and it was constructed from countless stones, with no visible gaps between them.
It doesn't look like a building that orcs could construct.
Xiao Jihan said, "This pyramid structure should be a magical artifact."
Xiao Jihan felt that this must be the magical artifact palace that his wife had mentioned.
The wife said that Wen Nanxi was in such a palace.
But no one expected that the palace was not like the palaces they had seen before, but rather this kind of building.
Su Muyao said with certainty, "Found it, Nanxi is inside."
My darlings, thank you all for your support, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
