Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 122 Which Snake God Are You?
At any other time, Bhutto would basically be dead by now.

Cobra venom is extremely potent and can kill a person in the time it takes to eat a meal. Given that Bhutto was already quite old, his resistance would only be weaker. Let alone a meal, even the time it takes to drink a cup of tea would be enough to kill him eight times over.

However, this time, fate was unusually kind to old Booth.

Simply because Du Yi was looking at him.

If it were some kind of venom he had never seen before, Du Yi wouldn't dare to guarantee that he could handle it, but when it came to snake venom, that was his area of ​​expertise.

After all, he himself is a snake, and he can truly say that no one understands snake venom better than him.

If you simply ingest snake venom, you might not even be poisoned. After all, snake venom is essentially just a relatively special kind of saliva. Of course, if you have a wound or mouth ulcer, or if you happen to have a stomach hemorrhage, the snake venom might come into contact with your bloodstream through the wound before it is digested, and in that case, you will still die.

Now that the snake venom has entered the bloodstream through the wound, things are relatively complicated. Although theoretically, the venomous blood can be released through various methods for emergency treatment, Du Yi has a better solution than that troublesome process.

That is, his own blood.

Ordinary snake blood cannot cure snake venom. Du Yi had actually tried it several times, and after sacrificing several antelopes, he came to this conclusion. But his blood was different from ordinary snake blood. It could cure not only snake venom, but also poisoning from scorpions and centipedes.

Just like it is now.

As soon as Du Yi's tail blood dripped onto the old man's wound, a large amount of fresh blood gushed out from the wound. The blood clots, which had already changed color, continued to gush out, as if they were consciously avoiding the drop of snake blood that had fallen.

The sudden massive bleeding made the already weak old man even paler, but his breathing gradually became steady, and he was pulled back from the brink of death.

"Fortunately."

Du Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought the old man was going to bleed to death, but now it seemed that his blood had not been wasted after all.

Of course, Du Yi's act of helping was not out of a sudden act of kindness.

The main reason is that he needs someone to tell him exactly what time it is right now.

Just like the previous times when he woke up from his slumber, he always had to ask people a couple of questions to know what year it was, what kind of environment he was in, and most importantly, he even had to learn the language of this era—after all, he had heard the old man's prayer just now, and he really couldn't understand a word of it.

Du Yi has become quite accustomed to studying a foreign language every time he wakes up, and he has even come up with many learning methods to accelerate his learning process.

However, we should wait until the old man wakes up before discussing anything further.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long. The old man was quite resilient. After a brief period of unconsciousness, he regained consciousness. Before the old man could even start yelling, Du Yi's tail had already swung up.

When spoken language fails to communicate, body language is often a more effective way to communicate.

Having had several experiences with this method of communication, Du Yi was already very familiar with it.

……

Three days later, old Buto, bruised and battered, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

As for the reason why the old man was so proud, the locals had all seen it. After all, the huge snake coiled outside the town was practically a mountain. Such an exaggeratedly large snake was visible to everyone. Moreover, the huge snake was just sitting outside and did not rush into the town to kill anyone. This could undoubtedly be called a manifestation of the snake god.

The serpent god has appeared... How long has it been since they last heard this?
It seems I've never heard of this before, since the snake god has never manifested, and even the term "snake god" hasn't been mentioned in a long time—except for old Buto, who guards the snake god's temple. This old man has been telling stories about the snake god, but those old stories have long been forgotten.

But now...

"The Serpent God has actually awakened from its slumber?"

In the town's inn, the caravan that had come from afar was discussing the giant snake outside the town, just like the locals.

However, unlike the locals, their faces showed no piety whatsoever.

Their furrowed brows suggested they were facing a formidable enemy.

This is not the expression a caravan should show. After all, when traveling for business, harmony is the key to making money. Regardless of which deity is being worshipped, they should be worshipped with respect. Treating a deity as an enemy is clearly not the mindset a caravan should have.

Unless these people were never merchants in the first place.

"It shouldn't be the cobra goddess Vajit who has woken up, since you can tell just by looking at the snake head that it's not a cobra's head."

After a brief discussion, the caravan leader made a decision.

"It should be at the level of a divine servant, which would correspond to the number of households in this town... If it really is the Cobra Goddess Vajit resurrected, then it should at least be in the temple of Parvajit to match her identity."

"He's just a servant of God."

The others immediately relaxed.

Although the giant serpent looked quite large, if it was only at the level of a divine servant, then it wasn't a big deal—after all, they were all divine servants, and each of them possessed their own unique abilities.

As for their purpose in coming here, it is far more than just a simple business trip.

Their true purpose in this journey was to destroy the local temples, eradicate the belief in the serpent god, and spread the glory of the sun god across both banks of the river.

However, directly opposing the gods would be a foolish act, so the priests themselves simply disguised themselves as a caravan, searching for information about the Cobra God while looking for an opportunity.

And now, the opportunity has arisen.

The servants of the Cobra Goddess have awakened, which seems to have brought down a powerful fighting force, but the appearance of the giant serpent has also given them an opportunity to establish their authority.

"As long as we kill that giant serpent, we can severely damage the faith in the Cobra Goddess."

As they spoke, the group removed their disguises, donned priestly attire, and took various scepters and amulets into their hands.

"It's just a giant snake... huh?"

At that moment, the leading priest suddenly sniffed.

"What is this? It smells so good!"
