Once upon a time there was a greedy snake.

Chapter 169 Torturing the Sun God

Of course, the sun god couldn't just give a straight answer. He was a high and mighty deity with his own dignity and principles.

Even though he is now too weak to fight, he will not bow down to the evil ancient serpent. Even if he has to risk his last bit of strength, he will fight against evil to the very end!
"Boom!"

And so, with a muffled thud, the sun god was once again embedded in the earth.

Fortunately, after a full day of sunshine, the sun god regained some of his strength. Even if it was only a little, he would continue to fight against evil...

"Boom!"

With another muffled thud, the sun god was reduced to a flat surface once more.

During the day, the sun god absorbed sunlight to accumulate power, and at night, he fought with the evil ancient serpent again, only to be smashed into the ground again, until the sun rose once more... This cycle repeated for a full seven days and nights.

Even Du Yi had to admire the eagle-headed man; he was surprisingly tough, refusing to utter a single word even after being repeatedly pinned to the ground.

"I haven't even said what I want to ask yet, is it really necessary?"

As he said this, Du Yi slammed the eagle-headed man into the ground for the eighth time.

Seeing the eagle-headed man turn flat again, Du Yi couldn't help but feel a toothache—not because of eating too much sugar causing cavities, but mainly because he had never seen anything like this eagle-headed man, who could lie flat with his eyes closed and be dry with his eyes open.

Heaven knows where this eagle-headed man got such a temper; he'd been knocked over so many times and still couldn't speak properly.

"We have to think of a way..."

Du Yi started scratching his head with his tail.

However, he really had no other choice. He had tried body language and food language time and time again, but the eagle-headed man was completely unresponsive and acted as if he had seen his father's killer.

Fortunately, Du Yi wasn't working alone.

Just as Du Yi was pondering a solution, the four priests who had miraculously survived approached him respectfully.

"Is there something you want to ask it?"

Of the four priests, Ansag, who wore a jeweled crown, spoke.

“We can do this for you. Interrogation is a part of the priests’ training.”

"Can you really handle this?"

Du Yi couldn't help but have some doubts.

After all, the difference in combat power between the two sides was too great. Even a weakened eagle-headed man was not something these four priests could handle. The eagle-headed man didn't even need to light any flames; with just a slap, these four priests would probably die on the spot.

Fortunately, the four priests weren't foolish enough to actually confront the eagle-headed man head-on.

First, before anything else could begin, the four priests asked Du Yi to move and cover the eagle-headed man with his massive shadow once more.

Only when the eagle-headed man could no longer be directly exposed to the sunlight did the four priests step forward.

They had all served as priests of the sun god before, so they knew the prayers praising the sun god. As those prayers were recited, the eagle-headed man on the ground, which had been smashed into thin pieces, actually began to move slightly.

However, it only moved slightly.

The effect of four priests chanting prayers here was far less than that of direct sunlight. This weak power was not even enough to make the eagle-headed man get up from the ground.

But even a mosquito is still meat, and with the constant chanting of the four priests, the sun god, who had been compressed into a thin sheet, eventually regained some consciousness.

The moment the sun god opened his eyes, he saw four traitors blocking his way.

They were just four insignificant priests, whose names weren't even worth remembering. If they hadn't sided with the ancient serpent, these priests wouldn't have even come into the sight of the sun god.

But now, these four are standing arrogantly in front of him, even looking down at him!
"you……"

An unprecedented rage surged within him, and the sun god was ready to crush these four traitors into dust!

However, he couldn't even raise his hand. The sunlight was blocked, and what fell on him was the shadow of the evil ancient serpent, that primordial evil that completely suppressed even his last remaining strength—at this moment, the sun god could do nothing but watch helplessly as the four traitors drew closer and closer.

"You, what are you going to do?"

Seeing that the four traitors were actually groping his body, the Sun God finally showed a hint of fear on his face.

The sun god was not afraid of the ancient serpent. No matter how many times he was knocked down, he would simply get up and fight again. But these four priests were completely different. The sun god knew very well that they had all been his priests before.

In other words, it wasn't these four priests who knew him.

It is precisely because they understand each other well that they know each other's weaknesses. Just like now, the priest wearing the crown of snake fangs has already taken his Anka amulet from his body, and the priest carrying the great sword has already taken out his scepter.

As for the remaining two priests, they were not idle either. Judging from the way their pens kept moving, they were using their bodies as papyrus to write a prayer.

However, the prayer was not a praise of the sun.

Instead, it praises the evil ancient serpent.

"You! How could you commit such blasphemy!"

The sun god gritted his teeth in hatred; at that moment, all he wanted was to kill all four traitors!
But before he could make a move, the priest carrying the large sword returned once again.

As he walked, he gestured with a large sword, giving the sun god a vague sense of foreboding.

"What are you going to do?"

The voice of the sun god even trembled slightly.

This made the priest carrying the large sword laugh.

"Great Sun God, even you have your day now."

As he spoke, the priest named Sataik raised his greatsword.

"The great serpent god we worship today loves nothing more than eating, but He has been troubled lately because He can't find anything big enough to fill His belly..."

"Calm down, let's talk this out."

Cold sweat broke out on the sun god's forehead.

Yes, he is indeed the sun god. As a deity, he is practically immortal. Even if he is beaten like this, as long as there is sunlight, he still has the possibility of regaining his power.

However, that's where the problem lies.

If he wasn't killed, but eaten, what would he become?
Fear of the unknown was revealed on the face of the sun god.

"So, did you have something to ask me?"

A hint of struggle appeared on the head of the sun god's eagle.

“I can tell you…”

Poof——

Before the sun god could finish speaking, the sharp blade had already pierced his neck and sliced ​​off a ring of feathered flesh along the mirror.

What was merely a piece of flesh on the neck for the sun god was a considerable amount for Sarthek, a human. Had he not become a priest of the serpent god and received a blessing, Sarthek might not have even been able to carry it.

"It's a pity the serpent god doesn't eat human-like parts, otherwise it would be easier to just cut off your arm... But the meat on the back of the neck is not bad either, and the quality is relatively better."

After wiping away the sweat that had seeped from his hard work, Satek turned his head.

"What did you say?"
