"Okay, get ready."
After applying the buff as usual,
Lu Ye and A Tui quietly approached the giant snake.
As the saying goes, strike the snake at its seven-inch mark; Lu Ye activated the skill [Weakness Reconnaissance].
The snake's spine and heart instantly turned a striking red in Lu Ye's eyes.
A-Tui stopped about twenty meters away, gripping his staff tightly.
Mages are not suited for melee combat.
Lu Ye then cautiously walked towards the giant snake.
Don't get too close to it, because there is molten lava beneath the serpent's body.
He was searching for an angle, an angle from which he could strike the giant snake's weak point in one blow.
But at that very moment, a piercing hissing sound echoed in my ears.
The ground trembled slightly, and the giant snake actually moved.
The snake's twisting body began to turn, and its enormous head rose from the ground, its cold, huge pupils staring intently at Lu Ye, filled with disdain.
Lu Ye stopped in his tracks and remained silent.
He then remembered something.
Snakes are creatures that survive by relying on their amazing sensory abilities.
The forked tongue gives the snake a three-dimensional sense of smell, allowing it to collect scents from different directions. Once it has collected enough "scent particles," the snake will press the tip of its tongue against the nasal acupoint above its mouth to identify and analyze the gases, and then convert the sense of smell into precise images.
This method allows snakes to accurately locate and determine the size of their prey, even in complete darkness.
The giant snake had already detected his and A-Tui's scents as they approached.
Not only that, this snake also had two huge, thick arms extending from the sides.
The next moment, the giant snake raised its body high, arched slightly, and charged suddenly at Lu Ye.
The gaping maw rapidly enlarged in Lu Ye's eyes, and when it was almost within reach, Lu Ye thrust out the large serpent spear in his hand.
For those who engage in knife fights, mastering the timing is one of their winning techniques.
At this distance, the spear was revealed, and the giant snake had no way to dodge.
And indeed, the snake's eyes widened in panic the moment it saw the giant spear thrust out from Lu Ye's hand.
A long blade of light burst forth from the tip of the giant serpent spear, instantly piercing into the serpent's mouth. The sound of flesh tearing and blood gushing out was clearly audible.
The giant snake leaned back and roared in pain.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, not expecting that the toy in his hand was actually a ranged weapon!
On the other side, A-Mei also summoned the Red Lion Knight Oga and the Ashes who could use ranged attacks.
This also includes bionic teardrops.
She learned a lesson from Munger.
To deal with enemies like this, who are surrounded by magma and cannot be easily approached, she wouldn't waste her energy summoning other ashes; that would be a waste of effort.
The giant serpent roared and launched another attack, but Lu Ye delivered a leaping slash, his long blade of light striking down from above, instantly cutting the serpent to the ground.
But under the relentless onslaught of magic and the giant serpent spear, the serpent was actually suppressed.
Lu Ye didn't even need to get close to the giant snake; he only needed to keep poking and prodding it, and the light blade was enough to make the giant snake uncomfortable.
While A-Tui was excited, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a little strange.
The large serpent spear in his hand was indeed a powerful weapon for dealing with giant serpents.
The long, light-blading blade could penetrate the snake's scales, break through the giant snake's defenses that could withstand the temperature of magma, and cause massive real damage.
More importantly, it doesn't even require any strict requirements to use.
In other words, even A-tui can use this weapon flexibly.
If that's the case, then why did the knights of Gemir fail back then?
This question lingered in Lu Ye's mind.
At the same time, accompanied by Ame's excited shouts, the [Luther's Staff] in her hand burst forth with a deep blue light, and several beams of light, like shooting stars, rushed towards the giant serpent, concentrating their impact on its head and causing great damage.
Origin Magic - Destruction Meteor.
The giant snake crashed to the ground.
Chapter 654 Rakad's Great Rune
"I used it! I used it!" A-Tu shouted, "I used Origin Magic!!"
The fact that A-Tui could use this move proves that his fighting ability has changed. He is no longer the faded one who was chased around naked by the old guard.
However, before she could even feel happy, something unexpected happened.
"Not bad at all..."
With its eyes closed and its thick forked tongue protruding, the large snake suddenly moved.
To be precise, it wasn't the serpent itself that was in motion, but rather the will that took over and controlled its enormous body.
The giant snake is dead, but its body remains alive.
Its thick, winding body slowly twisted in another direction, revealing its lithe back.
On the surface of the spine, a human face slowly emerges.
No, to be precise, it only had facial features, not a complete face shape, like a rough carving from a floating wall, floating above the fine snake scales.
His golden pupils were dim, like withered yellow leaves.
Lu Ye had seen this face before.
Yes.
Right where Tanis usually sits.
Behind her chair was a huge oil painting depicting a monarch standing with a sword, his brows conveying an imposing presence.
—The true master of the Volcano Mansion.
Fragment King.
Enforcement Officer Raqad.
Lu Ye was still wondering if the giant serpent was actually Lakad himself.
I didn't expect that I was only half right: two consciousnesses coexist in one body.
Actually, upon closer reflection, this is perfectly reasonable.
How could a greedy serpent that only knows how to eat and devour have the intelligence and eyesight to specifically recognize the weapons used to hunt itself?
But it did attack Lu Ye, and its eyes showed fear when it saw the weapon in his hand.
The serpent doesn't remember, but Lakad does.
This face, many times larger than an oil painting, exists as if half-carved on the back of a giant snake.
Now that the Great Serpent has been defeated, Rakad naturally took over its body, standing tall with its majestic form. The serpent's body, torn apart by the long blade of light emanating from the Hunting Serpent Spear and the violent storm, split open, revealing countless blood-red arms writhing inside, resembling a bloody sea of maggots.
Lakad looked down at Lu Ye and A Tui, uttering a whisper that sounded like a spitting out a tongue.
“I say you…come and become my people.”
"Does becoming one of our kind mean being eaten by you?"
A-Tu gripped his staff tightly and asked.
If common sense is correct, a human arm shouldn't grow under a snake's scales.
"That's right..."
Lakad chuckled softly, his enormous snake head rising high and tilting to one side. He reached one of his arms, located on the outside of the snake's body, into the snake's mouth and slowly pulled out a strangely shaped greatsword.
That sword can only be described as "disgusting," even Ah Tui frowned when he saw it.
Not only was it dripping with a sticky, scarlet liquid, but it was also covered with writhing, bright red arms, like souls suffering and struggling in a cauldron of boiling oil in hell.
"What kind of sword is this? It's disgusting!" Lu Ye glanced at the figure not far away and asked.
“This is what it means to become one of our kind,” Rakad said breezily, his expression like that of a fanatical religious leader. “Those who betray the Law walk the path of blasphemy, hunting their own kind for power, raising the banner of rebellion against the Golden Tree… Our kind will not be controlled by anyone. Let us… devour the gods together!”
Laqad laughed wildly, looking completely deranged.
All who come here to have an audience with him will become his people, and part of the blasphemy against the Golden Law and the Supreme Will.
This has been the case since the War of Shattering.
However, it's unclear whether this is due to the significant enhancement of his perception caused by merging with Orochi.
Lakad felt he could detect a peculiar scent emanating from the faded man whose head was covered by an upside-down pot.
In fact, it was the giant snake that first noticed Lu Ye and A Tui.
But at that time, Rakad was still asleep, because every time a warrior embarked on the path of blasphemy, he would be dealt with by the serpent, so he did not take it to heart.
He only awoke from his slumber when he noticed the strangeness about A-Tu and then realized the presence of the Hunting Serpent Spear.
When Lakad decided to join the Orochi, he naturally investigated it.
According to secret documents and historical records from the border region, the giant snake of the Gemir volcano could not only capture the subtle scents of its prey, but also distinguish the complexity of those scents, or rather, analyze the scents it captured.
Ancient legends say that this power was born from the influence of the Golden Law on the Great Serpent. Ever since the Supreme Will removed death from the law, the Great Serpent's death has been endless. It has been shedding its skin and growing until it became the overlord of Mount Gemir, devouring everything.
During this long process, in order to protect itself, the giant serpent evolved the ability to analyze the scents it collected, thereby assessing the situation of the creatures. It used this special ability to decide whether to attack or flee…
Some say that the giant serpent gained the ability to discern souls. Since snakes have poor eyesight, it uses the ability to discern the strength of its enemies by analyzing souls.
In short, by devouring weak creatures, avoiding strong enemies, following the law of the jungle, and consuming everything it could, the great serpent eventually became the Great Serpent of Gmir.
A-Tu gave Lakad a strange feeling; her scent was chaotic.
Those are two completely different flavors.
