Chapter 30: The Bite of Sotek

The plague spread among the living creatures. The leaders of the skin lizards screamed and gave orders, which reminded them of the plague brought by the ratmen! The name of the snake god Sotek was called out by the skin lizards over and over again. The falling cold-blooded species reminded Stenk of the tragedy when Quetza was destroyed.

The Red-Crowned Skin Lizards were the first to initiate the sacrifice fanatically, and all the infected flesh and blood, regardless of friend or foe, were sacrificed to the snake god Sotek.

Looking at his compatriots struggling with the plague, a rare hatred appeared in Shi Jianke's eyes.

This sentiment spread among the Lizardmen and eventually manifested itself in the bloodiest rituals.

The Skink leader ordered the bodies to be piled up, and the fallen Lizardmen volunteered to serve the Serpent God.

With the help of the giant lizards, hills of rotten corpses appeared everywhere on the battlefield.

It may not be as unified as the sacrifices led by the Serpent Prophet, but the Skinks' fiery passions attract their gods all the same.

Lynch heard a slippery wriggling sound, and countless snakes seemed to appear out of nowhere in the rustling jungle.

The hissing sound of the snakes behind him kept calling out to the bloodthirsty god.

The dwarves and humans at the edge of the battlefield had stopped fighting and were dodging the poisonous snakes swimming by their feet. The sea lizards even climbed directly onto the giant trees.

"Sotek!"

The Skinks sang praises in long, eerie tones, offering great prayers to the Serpent God.

More and more snakes appeared beside the pile of corpses. When Lynch dealt with the enemies and turned around, he saw that the ground of the battlefield was covered with a thick carpet of snakes!

This was just the beginning, the sacrifice further expanded the scale of the sacrifice, and both parties in the killing became food for the snake god.

Dark clouds appeared in the sky and transformed into a giant snake that looked down upon the world.

In Lynch's suddenly frozen vision, the giant python in the sky moved.

He lowered his body slightly and thrust his head, which blocked out the sky and the sun, into the human world.

Three mortals from the Old World prayed loudly to the gods of their respective faiths to conceal their inner panic.

But Grimnir and the Lake God did not show their divinity in the hunting grounds of the Serpent God.

The inexperienced Luo Meng looked at the scene that seemed like the sky was falling, and his body and mind were shocked by the bloody fear.

The eyes of the giant snake in the sky glowed blood red, perhaps the blood had stained the dark clouds, and the clouds gradually turned light red.

Lynch paid his respects to this very special deity, and chanted the prophecy of Sotek with the Skinks.

The giant snake swam down slowly, and its head slid to the center of the battlefield.

The vampires had already begun to flee like frightened deer, and the corpse demons were trying their best to drive the crabs away from the battlefield.

But although this speed is extremely fast for mortals, it cannot surpass the scale of the giant snake's slow swimming in an instant.

He suddenly accelerated, and Lynch watched him open his bloody mouth and start swallowing along the ground.

Lynch wanted to escape, but when he found that the cold-blooded creatures swallowed by the giant snake were all safe and sound, he stopped abruptly.

The giant snake swam past Lynch, and Lynch felt like he was sinking into a pool of icy water.

A large number of zombies have disappeared, probably becoming embellishments in the snake god's bottomless stomach.

A whisper like the hissing of a snake appeared in Lynch's mind. A vast thought flashed by and almost shattered Lynch's thinking.

".Itaza Ashoranka."

Lynch only caught these two words, and the giant snake swam past him in a few breaths. Lynch almost fell to the ground in exhaustion.

The phantom pain caused the scenery in Lynch's eyes to overlap, and all sounds turned into a noisy buzzing.

Fortunately, all the enemies had been swallowed up by the giant snake's phantom. After eating all the enemies, the giant snake drilled into the ground.

There was clearly no change in things on the ground, but the giant snake seemed to have crawled into a snake hole and disappeared in the awed and reverent gaze of the spirit lizards.

Lin Qi's confused thoughts gradually recovered after the army was reorganized, and he could still hear the disordered sounds.

Lynch wanted to think, but found that every breath he took was torture for him, so he had to abandon the idea.

Lynch only fully recovered when the army razed the fortress at the mouth of the Cohuta River to the ground and began to march towards the Kuiweza River, the "capital" of the Vampire Coast.

In the sparse swamp woods, Louis, who was sitting on the back of the sea lizard, spoke with concern. The human still seemed to be in some kind of fear.

"You suddenly become very scary!"

Lynch looked at the young knight and the two dwarves behind him, and responded in a hoarse accent: "The snake god touched me."

The dwarf kept complaining, as if trying to hide his inner fear.

Until the sea lizard raised its tail and gently brushed the dwarf's face with its slender tail, the dwarf could not help groaning incessantly. Romon's action, which was not sure whether it was a provocation or a comfort, made the dwarf groan.

"TN, your tail feels so good!"

The dwarf seemed to have just reacted. Grimm looked hurriedly at Lynch, and his loud voice made the Triceratops on one side of the team snort.

"Fuck! You haven't been discovered, have you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Lynch knew what he was worried about, but this worry was obviously meaningless. If the gods took a closer look, they would notice this group of outsiders.

It's just that they are restricted and cannot always show their presence.

The fact that there are God's Chosen Ones everywhere is proof of Their power. Whether they are priests or slightly special warriors, they are all cheap God's Chosen Ones.

"Think about that demon. It also knows our language. I mean, there are more than just the four of us." Louis sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lynch and Grimm took his hint and knew that there must be exposed visitors from another world, and their appearance in this world itself was full of mystery.

Even Roman began to slow down and almost bumped into a half-broken tree trunk, obviously distracted.

If there was only one outsider, I could still comfort myself that I was one of the lucky ones among the vast number of living beings.

But this kind of time travel is obviously not an isolated case, there is some force driving all of this.

Lin Qi didn't dare to think too much, for he was afraid of falling into Tzeentch's fishing net.

Following his hint, everyone quieted down and stopped discussing this dangerous topic.

When night falls, it is another white moon night.

The army was stationed in the swamp, and the roars of wild beasts made the rainforest lively under the night.

It was not until the Tyrannosaurus let out a shocking roar that other creatures were afraid and dared not make a sound.

Lynch looked at the blazing flames and did not find a trace of blood. Perhaps it was the spirit lizard priests walking around the camp that made that being fearful.

Perhaps it was the huge army of Lizardmen that stopped the evil in the darkness, and Lynch never waited for the attackers.

But Lynch heard some muffled speech, and Grimm and Louis' reactions proved that they also had auditory hallucinations.

Only Roman was there, he looked at the three people with his animal eyes in confusion, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Why not embrace the blessing, go to the eternal garden, to the side of my loving grandfather, and become a free spirit with me?"

"The more you know, the more you should understand the fate of this world! Come! I have prepared a shelter for you in the garden, my compatriots."

The dull voice suddenly became intense, as if fighting an invisible enemy.

"Why would I say such a thing? No! I do not respect the Plague Lord! Be careful of the demon who can see the past and the future!"

The hysterical screams dissipated in the ears of the three strangers.
