Chapter 39: Ouroboros Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium

The gray dice still maintained its dice setting, silent to everything around it, except for the giant python with its tail spread out still chattering.

"Funny little trick."

It said, "I admit that you attracted me."

The giant python raised its body, confident in its grasp of the situation. "No need to pretend anymore. If you can just surrender now, I can pretend nothing ever happened."

dice:"……"

Chen Shuang: “…Uh.”

What? Are you going to force the plot if I don’t agree?

The field was silent for a long time, and a deadly awkwardness gradually spread, with a tendency to spread indefinitely.

The wind blew fallen leaves onto the giant green python's head. After a long period of no response, its expression shifted back and forth. Gritting its teeth, it whispered, "Why aren't you talking?"

"Isn't my status and wealth enough to make you excited?"

The giant python leaned forward and said, "You are so greedy."

He coiled his tail and looked at the dice, his eyes full of determination. "But I just like your straightforwardness."

dice:"……"

So annoying.

Chen Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, used all her rationality to loosen her clenched fists, and forcefully suppressed the thought of retreating.

Before I came here, I didn’t tell you that being a priest would cause work-related injuries.

The python continued to output: "You will never escape from my palm."

dice:"……"

It suddenly shook violently.

Seeing that the giant python was still pestering it, the harassed dice seemed to have reached its limit and could no longer bear it. Its whole body shook slightly a few times, and then the amplitude of the shaking became larger and larger, and finally it spontaneously jumped and rolled on the ground.

It rolled several times in a row, the amplitude becoming smaller and smaller, and finally stopped on a side where the inscription had been completely worn away.

The gray surface gradually faded, and faint dark blue text appeared on the dice inch by inch.

New inscriptions appeared.

The moment Shen Shuang saw the dark blue text clearly, its meaning emerged in her mind.

The second side [mirror].

The system made a "ding dong" sound.

You are using "Slightly Extraordinary Dice"

[Thrown successfully, "mirroring" in progress]

Chen Shuang: I was so scared by the ordinary dice that I didn’t even need to pretend anymore.

She looked at the inscription on the second side that had been revealed, her eyes flickering slightly.

In this case, the six inscriptions on the six-sided dice actually exist, but they are hidden by the extremely low-key dice.

"where are you going!"

The giant python watched the beautiful snake he had finally met turn around and leave. He immediately set out to chase it, but before he could move forward even half a step, he was blocked by another huge shadow.

The giant python's eyes widened slightly as it looked at the creature in front of it in disbelief.

The other party had the same green scales as his own, even the old scars on the scales accumulated over the years were exactly the same. At this moment, there was no emotion in those dark eyes, and they looked straight at it.

The giant green python lowered its head and began to tremble all over. It widened its eyes and shouted angrily, "How am I inferior to it?"

dice:"……"

Destroy it.

The mirror-image python created by the power of the dice did not stop at all, and immediately wrapped around and attacked the green python. The two giant beasts entangled in a fight in an instant.

The enraged python rammed its massive body into the other, attempting to crush it in one fell swoop. The primal, absolute power collided in the forest, creating an unparalleled visual shock, its massive body smoothing out all the surrounding ravines and undulations.

The trees that were broken in half fell randomly, and the affected area expanded directly outward. The green body twisted and entangled, vowing to kill the other party.

Dust was flying in front of us and the battle was very fierce.

Chen Shuang bent down to pick up the still hot dice, and the voice of the lich came to her ears.

Maomao wondered, "Is there something wrong with its eyes?"

The giant python opened its mouth ferociously, revealing its sharp white fangs, and bit hard at the green scales in front of it. Just as its sharp teeth embedded into the flesh, it suddenly raised its head and trembled, and the whole snake stiffened.

Chen Shuang's eyes fell on the part of the snake scale that it had bitten, and she immediately understood why the giant beast was acting strangely at the moment.

It bit its own tail.

Chen Shuang: What a real-life version of Snake.

The mirror python had no trouble recognizing its tail. It also opened its mouth wide and its sharp teeth directly embedded into the enemy's flesh.

The green giant python that was being attacked by both itself and the opponent suddenly let out a hissing sound. It swayed its body and tried frantically to break free. After failing to break free, it quickly turned around and attacked the mirror giant python.

The mirror python was unable to dodge and could only endure the attack with its eyes closed.

Cyan python: I bite, bite, bite!

Each attack was carried with the momentum of a mighty force, the sharp teeth fell rapidly, and then bit heavily into... the air?

The unharmed mirror python tilted its head, looking at its own replica in confusion, unsure why it would attack the air. It flicked its tail, then gave up trying to figure it out, opening its jaws and biting the cyan python.

Mirror Python: I bite, bite, bite!

Every attack hits the target without any deviation, and the sharp teeth pierce into the scales, bringing extreme stinging sensation.

Green python: "Hiss!"

Sharp pain swept through the body, causing the entire snake to twist and tremble.

Chen Shuang looked at the battle situation.

The case was solved. He really had poor eyesight.

After watching the air-biting performance for half a day, Chen Shuang's heart was as calm as water at the moment, without any sense of urgency.

No one would feel nervous when seeing this snake that can only do nothing. If anyone does, then just watch it for a while longer.

She glanced at the lich who was concentrating, and said, "Let's stop here. We have important things to do."

The pale lich nodded, stretched out his right hand, and called upon the departed soul once again.

Countless white undead crawled out from the ground and rushed directly towards the giant python that was constantly twisting its body.

“Bang—”

The giant fell to the ground with a loud bang.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the giant green python was lying on the ground panting, surrounded by white bones.

It raised its head, desperately searching for the figure that had suddenly vanished, and roared, "You despicable fellow, come out and fight to the death!"

After being affected by the power of the dice one after another, even though the power has dissipated now, the giant python in front of him does not look very conscious.

It raised its head angrily, but was pinned down by the huge number of skeletons surrounding it. The huge snake heads were pressed tightly to the ground, squeezing its face so that it was slightly deformed.

"I think you should first think about how to explain yourself."

Chen Shuang walked out slowly, lowering her eyes to look at the giant python with a defiant look: "For example, attacking my people and trying to rob the magic crystal."

The previous battle had consumed most of the giant python's strength. At this moment, it was lying on the ground exhausted with its head pressed down tightly.

Stimulated by the cold temperature, the giant green python finally regained some consciousness.

It hummed, "What magic crystal?"

The giant python said, "This is the territory I just planned to enclose. I want to grow and develop here in the future."

The system made a "ding dong" sound.

You have encountered a snake with great ambitions.

The ancient giant python, newly revived from darkness, wanted to return to glory. The snake, with a grudge in its heart, enthusiastically selected its initial starting point, attempting to drive away all nearby creatures. However, its first move accurately hit the hardest wall.

The snake kept chattering, "Do you know how hard it is to start from scratch? I am the starting point of the future empire."

Chen Shuang: "You want to build a country here?"

The snake nodded.

Sure enough, a snake without ambition is not a good boss.

Chen Shuang sighed: "Do you know where this place is?"

The snake, having just woken up, shook its head blankly.

"Do you know the ethnic distribution, various forces, and regional characteristics of the Lost Land?"

The snake continued to shake its head and murmured, "So this place is called the Lost Land..."

"Do you know what it takes to build an empire?"

The snake thought for a moment and replied, "Territory, and absolute power that cannot be defied."

Chen Shuang nodded and continued, "In addition to these, there are also the people, enough food for them to survive, various resources, and long-term patience."

"Can you do that?"

The snake was quiet for a long time, then it said with some disappointment: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"This is just the Lost Land. Beyond this, there are even more vast lands. Are you really sure you can build an empire?"

The snake lowered its head and stopped talking.

The giant green python was immersed in the feeling that it could not support an empire at all. It did not move and the whole snake looked extremely lost.

The lich waved his hand to withdraw his power, and the gathered bones immediately scattered and were buried in the soil again.

Chen Shuang looked at the snake that had lost its fighting spirit and said, "Perhaps you can first learn to live in peace with other creatures."

The snake nodded absently, looking distracted.

"Well," the snake suddenly said, humbly asking for knowledge: "You seem to know a lot, could you teach me?"

"Nothing else is needed, just let me follow you."

"Let me do anything," the snake said eagerly.

Shen Shuang stopped and asked: "What will you do now?"

The snake immediately perked up and said proudly and confidently, "Fighting, occupying territory."

"Besides these?"

The snake thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I also have an incomparable charm that I have nowhere to release."

"Oh, right," the snake raised its head again and looked around, "Where's that little cutie from earlier? Did you see where it went?"

Chen Shuang glanced at the quiet dice in her hand, hid it silently, and shook her head at the snake.

"Is that so?" It felt a little lost, but soon it cheered up again, "It doesn't matter, no matter where it escapes to, I will find it by searching the whole world."

Chen Shuang: What do you mean by chasing your wife to the crematorium?
