Once upon a time there was a greedy snake

He felt as if he had never seen this evil giant snake before, and he took action seriously.

"But he could knock my spear away with just a flick of his tail..."

Thinking about this, Casaloran suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

He had originally wanted to see the spectacle, after all, this evil giant serpent had personally injured him, its only possible reinforcement, and now it was being crushed to death on the spot by this fortress of destruction, which was well deserved—once the giant serpent was dead, he could use his identity as a savior to lead all living beings and let them feel the glory of the god of courage.

This did not violate the requirements of the God of Courage. After all, the divine oracle left by the God of Courage was to help the weak, so the local natives who had lost the evil giant serpent were naturally the weakest party.

But now it seems...

"Will this evil giant serpent really die?"

Taking a deep breath, Casaloan, along with the other chosen champions, kept their eyes glued to the falling superstar in the distance, not daring to relax even for a moment.

……

As the mud ball fell, Du Yi had already seen the large star streaking across the sky.

After all, the commotion caused by this giant mud ball was too great, and it was hard for Du Yi not to see it. Moreover, judging from the direction in which the giant star fell, it was actually in his direction. Originally, Du Yi thought it should land near him, but seeing the giant shadow getting closer and closer, it was actually going to land directly on his face.

"What... is this?"

Du Yi's first reaction was that the God of Life had attacked, but after thinking for a moment, he immediately rejected the idea—after all, he knew the methods of the God of Life, and if it really was the God of Life, then it would definitely spread the plague first.

As for this mud ball now...

"It should be an asteroid."

Du Yi immediately relaxed a lot.

If it were a plague from the God of Life, with those mysterious methods, he might not necessarily have a solution, but if it's just an asteroid... he has indeed practiced something recently.

Thinking this, Du Yi had already coiled up in a circle and bit his own tail.

Chapter 261 A body tempered through countless trials is the best weapon

Recently, Du Yi has been thinking about how to improve his offensive skills.

As a snake, it doesn't actually have many offensive methods. When it's still a small snake, it can only stick its head out and bite with its teeth. It's only after it grows up that its strong and powerful snake body has the opportunity to strangle its prey. However, Du Yi doesn't use this method very often.

After all, in Du Yi's view, sticking out his body would undoubtedly expose his weakness. If someone were to stab or bite him at this moment, wouldn't he be cut in half at the waist, or even be decapitated?

So for a period of time afterward, Du Yi relied on throwing stones to hunt. He had long since mastered his long tail to be more dexterous than his real hands, and he could hit stones and tree trunks with almost perfect accuracy.

However, as its body grew larger, this method no longer worked.

It's not that we can't throw the stones; it's mainly because we don't have any stones big enough anymore.

The stones that were thrown before have now become pebbles. Throwing these things will definitely not cause any damage. Although Du Yi can still throw those pebbles with his skillful control of the snake's tail, this method is relatively outdated as an offensive tactic.

"Actually, given its current size, if it were really going to be thrown, it would have to uproot a mountain at least..."

Du Yi had naturally thought of this as well, but it was clear that the side effects of this method would only be greater. On the one hand, it was because most of the mountain was underground, making it difficult for him to pull out only the part exposed above ground. On the other hand, it was because if he were to actually pull it out...

"If we actually pull them out, they'll all die."

Putting aside everything else, at the very least, the people of Tatunbto would be wiped out on the spot. This level of geological disaster is far more terrifying than any god of life.

Therefore, Du Yi could only think of other solutions.

He had even prayed to the so-called god of wisdom about this matter, but clearly, the god of wisdom did not grant him any wisdom in this area, and no inspiration came down. He could only find reference points on his own.

And the reference points he could find were naturally those chosen champions.

In a sense, these chosen champions are indeed a good reference point. At least according to Elias, they have always been all-rounders in body, mind, and soul. They can also use their rune swords to break various arcane spells and even directly damage the soul. However, most of the time, they still choose to fight with swords rather than setting fires or throwing ice blocks from a distance.

"The battlefield, where flesh and blood fly, excites us; our own bodies are the best weapons."

Du Yi still remembers what Elias said when he asked him, with even a hint of pride on his face.

However, it was just casual conversation at the time, and Du Yi didn't pay much attention to it. He simply treated it as a piece of unfamiliar knowledge in the Star Sea and wrote it down.

But now...

"The body itself can also be crafted into the best weapon."

As Du Yi pondered those words, he gained some insight.

Yes, indeed, after all, a part of his body had actually been transformed into a weapon—who was one of the four priests again, anyway, the one carrying the greatsword, that greatsword was a piece of scale he had broken off.

That broken scale was originally used by him as a kitchen knife to process prey; if you insist on calling it a weapon, then there's no problem with that.

so……

"If a single scale can be used as a weapon, what about myself?"

It was at this moment that Du Yi realized that he seemed to have gone in circles and returned to the most primitive fighting style.

However, going around in circles is still going around in circles.

The specific methods, however, are completely different.

Normally, snakes use their bodies as weapons, which are nothing more than biting and strangling. But for Du Yi now, this is too inefficient. Just think, what would be the most vicious killing move of a long, even somewhat soft creature?

It's not about strangling the enemy, nor is it about using the spikes to pierce their flesh; even if the spikes are poisonous, the effect would still be limited.

The most vicious killing move is actually the whip.

Although the whip is different from other weapons, it cannot be blocked, parried, slashed, or thrust, but among all weapons, only the whip can create a sonic boom when pulled out in mid-air—the seemingly soft whip tip can be even sharper than a blade when it moves at high speed.

Furthermore, its attack range is extremely large.

Among the many weapons, only the long whip can truly sweep across an area. This means that if the God of Destruction were to launch an air attack using some weapon, he could simply swing his body to intercept it all.

Yes, his own body was the whip itself.

A well-trained body is the best weapon.

"so……"

Biting its own long tail, Du Yi had already gathered enough strength.

"Then let's practice some more."

Du Yi looked up at the large star falling from mid-air.

Although compared to the sky-covering meteor shower he had envisioned, this single meteor was far too few.

However, for him, who is still somewhat unfamiliar with the subject.

Perfect for practicing!

"Zheng——"

The long tail lashed out from the tightly gripping jaws, faintly producing a metallic clang, and the giant tail that had been flung through the air had already vanished.

No, not disappear.

But too fast.

The giant tail swept across at such a speed that Du Yi himself couldn't even react in time. The enormous force that should have extended along his body was transformed into a massive sweeping motion driven by brute force.

"It failed..."

Du Yi sighed subconsciously.

The whip tip failed to produce a sonic boom, making it undoubtedly a failed whipping.

However, aside from the whipping incident, the result was still a success.

The giant star that had fallen from the sky flew sideways and crashed into a distant hillside. The huge mud ball shattered on the spot, splattering mud all over the hillside—even from such a distance, Du Yi could still smell a putrid stench.

"So, what exactly is this thing?"

It was only after the fight was over that Du Yi realized that such a giant star covered in mud and water could not possibly fall from the sky. Putting aside everything else, the friction from the fall alone would be enough to turn the mud-covered giant star into pottery.

However, asking him to go and take a look... well, forget about it. After all, that hill in the distance that was splashed with mud smelled terrible, and he really didn't want to get close.

"Should we wait until this smell dissipates before going to check... hmm?"

Just as Du Yi was about to wash himself, he suddenly noticed something gleaming in the mud beside him.

It looks like a...

"seed?"

Chapter 262 Seed of Creation

The distant mountains are called Kem Nuen by the locals, or more colloquially, Damang Mountain.

As for the reason for this name, it is of course because this mountain is very large and quite steep, but what is most impressive is the countless forks in the mountain. Even the most skilled mountaineer will get lost in the mountains and become a skeleton or the excrement of some unknown wild animal.

Therefore, locals generally do not go there, and even if they have something to do, they will not really go deep into the mountains. After the establishment of the Serpent God Empire and the construction of Tatunbuto began, people began to go to Tatunbuto to seek opportunities, and even fewer people stayed here.

This directly resulted in David Day, who, after waking up from his coma, being unable to find anyone to ask for directions.

"Where am I?"

David Day shook his still slightly dizzy head.

"And what exactly happened?"

Patting his head, David Day tried to recall those fragmented memories. He remembered that he had been authorized by the God of Life to activate the "Barrier of New Life." After gaining control of that war fortress, he immediately rushed towards the evil ancient serpent that he had an irreconcilable hatred for.

David Day had never fought such a lavish battle, crushing the activated war fortress with all his might, especially since the target was the evil ancient serpent that had crushed him twice before. Heaven knows how satisfying this act of revenge was.

And then……

And then, it seems like there was nothing more to it.

The giant snake bit its long tail, then swung it out; his memory stopped at that moment.

After that, he knew nothing more.

His memory seemed to be fragmented; when he woke up, he was already here. The "Barrier of Rebirth" had been shattered, and he himself didn't even know where he was.

"However... thankfully, the war weapons of the God of Life are not so fragile."

Yes, that's why David Day isn't worried at all. It's because this war fortress was originally just a swamp. Even if the swamp is broken and scattered all over the mountains and fields, it will still be a swamp and won't cause any damage.

As long as he manipulates the seed from the God of Life and plants the World Tree on the spot, this "barrier of rebirth" will once again...

"and many more?"

David Day reached into his pocket and found nothing, then realized something was wrong.

Where are my seeds?

You must understand that this is no ordinary seed; it is the true core bestowed by the God of Life, not only the starting point of the entire "Project of Creation," but also the absolute central hub controlling this war fortress.

Now, this most crucial seed has been lost somewhere.

"This...this...this...this!"

David Day was immediately drenched in sweat.

Without that seed, how could he complete the God of Life's plan? Without that seed, how could he fight against that evil ancient serpent?

Without that seed, he couldn't even power this war fortress.

Just like now, even though he could clearly see the soldiers of the God of Life, none of the creeping creatures covered in mycelium heeded his call.

The aggregates of those spores even mistook him for an outsider and launched an attack on him.

"Even you... who gave you the guts!"

The enormous maw on its abdomen suddenly opened, and the creeper at the forefront was instantly chewed to pieces.

The rest of the creep walkers finally stopped in their tracks, their stunned expressions clearly indicating that they had recognized their commander.

The enormous mouth that grows on the abdomen is a feature that only the embodiment of the god of life could possess.

However, even if he conquered a group of creep walkers, it would be meaningless. These constructs made of spores do not have brains at all. Even if he sent them out, they would only get lost. David Day still did not know where he was.

"Perhaps the only option is..."

Thinking of this, David Day couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Perhaps, the only option is to seek help from the god of life.

Although seeking help immediately upon landing would only highlight his incompetence, for David Day at this moment, incompetence is better than inability—exposing his incompetence would only invite the rebuke of the god of life, but failing to complete the task entrusted to him by the god of life...

The outcome is hard to say.
