In the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, more than ten snake beast lords with red dots on their heads, along with a group of Abyss Commanders, came to the place where the Green Python died. They saw that in addition to the Green Python's body, there were also seven blood crystal sculptures!
They were Guan Liyuan and the other seven people. At least that's how they looked after being crystallized.
Of course, in reality, the seven people were not really crystallized. Moreover, after the Green Python died, Guan Liyuan forcibly extracted the blood-ray power that had not yet dissipated, and crystallized his "bones"...
After seeing the Green Python's "brain flower", Guan Liyuan had already understood the general principle of this crystallization ability. In essence, this is a kind of "eye technique". Although in the main world, "eye technique" is no longer a purely spiritual ability, Guan Liyuan's "Baiyan" and "Samsara Sharingan" have also been transformed into the main world's eye technique.
After Guan Liyuan's profession was promoted to the first-grade "Ninja Sect" (self-named), his "eye technique" was one internal and one external, and even two places caused the normal changes of the body. The double pupils were white and the third eye was opened on the forehead.
Therefore, Guan Liyuan has a high resistance to the "Pupil Technique" type of ability. If it were the "Queen" who was the source of the power, I don't know if she would be immune, but at least these lord-level "personal guards" could not make Guan Liyuan fall for them.
The reason why the "bones" could be crystallized was that Guan Liyuan specially removed the power of the "Gray Bones of Co-killing" and only covered the surface of the body with a layer of the most ordinary bones, which successfully gave him an extra layer of "blood crystal shell"...
As for the other six people, they were not even close to "crystallization". To be precise, the only thing that was truly crystallized was the part of Guan Liyuan's bones that had grown. The bones on Zhu Tianxing and others were just covered with Guan Liyuan's "bones".
Guan Liyuan had also asked for their opinions before. Although the product of this crystallization was not transparent, after adding a layer of "blood crystal shell", the surface looked no different from being completely crystallized, but Guan Liyuan was not sure that he would not be discovered. It was just that these snake beasts and snake people did not seem to be very smart, so he said "70%" sure.
However, Zhu Tianxing and the others were more resilient than Guan Liyuan had imagined...
After all, they were all well-known figures on the Tiangang List, so they would not retreat at the slightest difficulty. Instead, they all decided to stay and kill the mysterious lord here!
Guan Liyuan did not persuade them. They had much more experience in this area than he did,
so it was not reckless to stay now. Although only Guan Liyuan himself could sense the outside through the "Blood Crystal Bone Shell", the other six people did not lose consciousness. They were obviously ready. If they were really discovered and in danger, they would immediately activate the "Great Relocation Order".
"These are... humans? Were the Green Python Guards killed by humans?"
"Damn humans, they actually took advantage of the situation!"
"But it seems that the Green Python Guards have taken revenge personally..."
"Umbrella Snake Guards, go and lock these humans up! Before Her Majesty the Queen breaks out of her cocoon and is reborn, these humans cannot be killed... We go to execute Her Majesty the Queen's orders and kill those damn invaders on the periphery!"
After the snake beast lords discovered the appearance of Guan Liyuan and others, they "lived up to expectations" and did not have many doubts. After a few discussions, their underdeveloped brains had already imagined the plot of the "Green Python" and the invaders perished together.
In order to reduce the flaws at the scene, Guan Liyuan completely blew up the brain of the Green Python that he had cut open before covering it with the "blood crystal shell". Otherwise, it would be a bit unreasonable to have traces of dissection after "perishing together".
If it were an experienced professional, he might be able to tell that the broken brain was shot out after death, but these snake beasts obviously don't have such vision...
After that, only a small number of snake beasts and snake men carried or carried the seven people away, and most of the other snake beasts and snake men continued to go "outside".
From what they said before, Guan Liyuan probably guessed that these snake beasts with red dots on their heads were the so-called "personal guards", and the strange power represented by the red dots was suspected to come from "Her Majesty the Queen".
Another crucial point is that the "invaders" are not just humans!
Even in the eyes of these "personal guards", humans are not the biggest threat...
This made Guan Liyuan more thoughtful. Originally, Guan Liyuan was even about to give up the task of killing the mysterious lord. As Guan Liyuan said to others before, if it weren't for rescuing Qiu and Ruonan, I'm afraid Guan Liyuan would have proposed to withdraw from the Ten Thousand Snake Cave!
After all, only Guan Liyuan can resist "crystallization" now. If there are more than a dozen of these "guards" joining forces, Zhu Tianxing and the others will be wiped out in an instant. After being crystallized, they will not be able to use the "Great Relocation Order". How can Guan Liyuan save everyone by himself?
If he is alone, once he is besieged, Guan Liyuan can only evacuate alone at most...
But now he heard that there are other "invaders". Guan Liyuan, who had not thought of "taking advantage of the fire", was reminded all of a sudden!
The destination of "imprisoning" himself did not surprise Guan Liyuan. It was to send them to the place where "Haoli" had placed them before...
Not long ago, Guan Liyuan was still worried that he would be unable to move after entering the core area. After all, judging from the situation of the entire "Ten Thousand Snake Cave", the closer you are to the core, the more you are controlled by the "Queen". Fighting abyssal creatures in the wild is definitely different from breaking into the nest.
However, now that he has really reached the core area, it is even easier!
He was directly carried by the "Queen's" guards, but he couldn't move.
After entering the core area, there were no more free-moving snake beasts and snake people, only the subordinates of the "Queen". Every group of snake beasts and snake people passing by would greet each other...
In addition, you can often see snake beasts and snake people walking in a hurry. Although Guan Liyuan couldn't see the expression of the snake, some of them were obviously walking in a hurry!
Along the way in the core area, Guan Liyuan found a large number of cave passages that were not on the map. Perhaps because they no longer needed to be hidden, there was nothing to cover them at this time, and they were exposed outside...
These "newly appeared" passages all had the same feature, that is, obvious traces of excavation!
You must know that this can be the "core area". It is difficult to change the landform here. Guan Liyuan estimated that the commander-level mountain king had no way to deal with these rocks. If it was a lord-level mountain king, it would be extremely slow to create a new cave that would exist permanently, and it would not be much better than an ordinary person digging a mountain with a shovel.
The core area, which originally had a "monotonous" path, now has many connections, like an underground palace. On the contrary, several natural cave passages originally existed, which seemed a bit out of place...
However, several natural cave passages still served as "main roads" in this "underground palace". It seemed that these newly appeared passages should have existed for a long time, but the entrances and exits connected to the "main roads" were carefully hidden in the past.
Guan Liyuan couldn't help but be secretly shocked. This didn't seem like the scale that could be excavated in the past ten years. He would believe it if it was a project that took hundreds of years!
At the same time, he was also worried for the professionals, including Miss Mo, who had "hunted" the lords here.
When Guan Liyuan found the "secret passage" in the core area following the position of "Haoli", he only guessed that when professionals came in to hunt the lords in the past, some snake beasts hid in the "secret passage". Now it seems... it is clear that they closed the door and gave up a small area to act!
