Chapter 241 What does the Universe Snake hate most?
The tomb was dark and a light was turned on.
The squirrel stood on Yeats' shoulder, looked around, and said, "It's surprisingly clean here, there are no spider webs at all."
"The wizard just now was a half-snake man." Ye Zhi said as he walked.
"You mean, whether it's a hybrid snake man or a snake man, they all eat spiders, so there are no spider webs?" said Diamond.
"Congratulations, you have learned how to answer quickly!"
Ye Zhi observed the ancient runes and murals. Under the illumination of the dancing light technique, the runes winding on the wall were like little snakes, flickering with dim light.
The mural is similar to the style of ancient Egypt. A group of subjects with snake heads and human bodies, wearing gold, are located on the left and right sides of the mural. The big figure in the center has a snake-like body and a human woman's upper body, wearing a crown, showing her nobility.
Yeats looked at it carefully and asked the fish of wisdom, "Fetan, what do these murals say?"
Feitan said slowly: "These murals are related to the Snake Empire. It is an empire older than King Solomon's empire. It was founded by the Snake Queen and is located in the heart of the desert of the southern continent."
"So, the person in the middle of this mural is the Snake Queen?" Ye Zhi said.
"Very likely."
"How powerful is this empress? How does she compare to King Solomon?" Yeats asked.
Before coming here, Feitan drank the Minerva Fountain, and his thoughts became clearer. He said slowly: "First of all, in the old era, the Rainbow Bridge still connected the Kingdom of God and the Atrium. It was much easier to become a sanctuary than it is now. At that time, there were demigods between the sanctuary and the gods."
"The Snake Queen is a demigod, and is worshipped as a deity by the Snake People. This belief continued until the reign of King Solomon, when it was slowly abolished by King Solomon. It was called the Snake Cult."
"The Snake Cult's members include snake people, half-snake people, and Nagas. They are good at witchcraft and alchemy."
Feitan paused for a moment and said, "The half-blood snake wizard you just killed should be a follower of the extremely rare Snake Cult."
"Looks like he's still an elite monster." Ye Zhi muttered, "To be honest, I can't tell the difference between these Snake Cult members."
"Snake people look like giant snakes with arms, with the head and body of pythons. They are almost extinct in modern times. Perhaps their traces can only be found in the deserts and rainforests of the southern continent."
"The mixed-blood snake people are also divided into Lamia with a human body and a snake tail, and snake-scale people with thin blood, according to the concentration of their blood." Feitan is as knowledgeable as an old scholar.
"Naga live in the ocean, have fine scales, tentacles on their faces, snake tails, and are sometimes mistaken for mermaids."
Ye Zhi said: "So, the one we just killed was the Snake Scale Man?"
Fei Tan said: "Yes, the snake-scaled people can completely integrate into human society. In the ancient empire, the snake-scaled dancers were widely sought after. Their waists are more flexible than humans."
Yeats said: "Strange knowledge has increased."
"Are the Nagas in the sea, like the snake people in the desert, worshipping the Snake Queen as the true god?" Ye Zhi asked again.
"The Snake Queen is the religious leader and holy spirit of the Snake Cult. Above this Queen is an even more powerful deity, the Universe Snake."
Fei Tan said: "So, the Snake Cult uses the Ouroboros as its holy emblem and reveres the [Universe Snake] as the true god."
Yeats asked, "What is the origin of this cosmic snake?"
Fei Tan said: "There is an end of the world in the Zhongting Continent. At the beginning of the universe, there is a giant snake that surrounds the world. It surrounds the universe with its body and holds its tail with its head, forming a huge circle. We live in this circle."
Zuan Ya, who had been listening silently, suddenly said:
"As for Ouroboros, I know him. I even held him in my arms when he was little!"
"Can you still hold Him now?"
The squirrel rolled his eyes and said, "He can crush millions of drill teeth to death now!"
While chatting, a cold light flashed in the dark passage, and a series of arrows were shot towards them. The arrows were poisoned and glowed with a cold light.
There was a loud bang from behind, and a huge stone ball rolled down the stairs.
Yeats held the drill in one hand and ran as fast as Fetan had directed, hiding behind dark walls and narrowly avoiding huge rocks.
Boom! The huge stone hit the hole at the end of the aisle with a loud rumble. The tomb shook and trembled, and lime oozed from the top.
Ye Zhi himself has the "Talent·Arrow Avoidance Protection", and the poisonous arrows shot at him were pushed to the sides by the invisible air waves, as if there was a substitute behind him blocking the arrows for him.
Those arrows that were unfortunate enough to penetrate the protection were quickly broken into two pieces by the sunflower seeds that Zuanya spat out from his mouth.
These sunflower seeds seem to be made of energy, and are like sharp hidden weapons.
Ye Zhi was shocked: "Drilling teeth, you can do this?"
Diamond said angrily: "You are still laughing, I almost became a hedgehog!"
After making a lot of noise all the way, Yeats successfully reached the depths of the tomb under the guidance of the wise salmon.
This is an ancient stone gate with a Gorgon's head carved on the lintel. The snake is spitting out its tongue and staring at the visitors with wide eyes.
A small line of magic runes appeared on the stone door, which turned out to be a puzzle: [What does the Universal Serpent hate the most? ]
"It's a squirrel." Diamond groaned, "I want to be the most evil squirrel king in the world!"
The Gorgon's eyes suddenly glowed red.
With a scream of teeth drilling, the squirrel had turned into a petrified statue! Ye Zhi's face suddenly changed.
"Drill your teeth, drill your teeth!"
There was a cracking sound, and the petrified stone cracked and then broke apart. The squirrel perked up and said with a grin:
"Damn it, am I wrong?"
Yeats tactical blackface.
The Gorgon repeated the question again, and then looking at Fetan who was thinking hard, Yeats asked, "Do you know the answer?"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Fei Tan said slowly: "I'm not sure."
Yeats vaguely remembered the answer to the riddle, but like Fertan, he was not sure. Fortunately, the green cardamom could remove the petrification effect.
"The answer is... [fishing rod]?" Ye Zhi answered tentatively.
The red light in the Gorgon's eyes gradually dimmed.
Soon, the stone door opened upwards with a dull groan, and a smell of decay and damp wafted in from the deepest part of the tomb.
Zuanya was surprised and asked, "How do you know the answer? What the hell is a fishing rod?"
Ye Zhi said, "Because I have read a legend that the God of Storm and Thunder once tied a hundred cows together as bait, threw the hook over the icy sea, caused an earthquake, and finally caught the serpent of the universe."
Diamond smiled and said, "Oh - so that's what it is!"
Feitan murmured, "I see. No wonder the Cosmic Serpent hates [Fishing]. It's the same thing I hate."
Ye Zhi said: "This fishing rod is also of great significance. If it weren't for it, Thor wouldn't have been able to catch the Cosmic Serpent. Now, the fishing rod is sealed in the Fishermen's Association. It is a divine tool of the same level as the God's Chef's Pot."
"You seem to really want that fishing rod?" Zuanya looked at Ye Zhi.
Ye Zhi sighed, "If I could catch the Cosmic Snake, I don't know how long I would be lost out there!"
The main tomb chamber is wide and majestic, with a huge underground lake in front of it. The lake surface is deep blue and reflects the firelight. At the end of the lake is an altar with a statue of a snake man standing there, which is seductive and mysterious.
"There are so many snakes at the bottom of the lake!" shouted Diamond.
Yeats looked with eagle eyes and saw thousands of water snakes moving in the deep lake, and dense black shadows lurking at the bottom, which was creepy.
The lake water seemed clear just now, but now it was filled with the stench of blood. Ye Zhi felt his scalp tingling and nausea.
"The treasure is always next to the altar." said Zuanya.
"I don't think the treasure can be left there for nothing." As he spoke, Yeats carefully avoided the lake and looked up at the altar.
Looking closer, the statue in front of me becomes more and more charming and demonic, with a body as winding as a snake and a face that is beautiful yet cold.
In the hands of the snake beauty statue, there is a head, blood is coagulated on the neck, and the eyes are tightly closed.
Yeats swallowed involuntarily.
Who else could the head in the snake's palm be? It was none other than Medusa! Medusa's head seemed to have a magical power, enchanting and terrifying, tempting the will to continue to dissipate.
Forcing himself not to look, Yeats surveyed the statue.
"This should be the statue of the demigod [Snake Queen]." Ye Zhi said.
"Yes." Feitan was also a little surprised, "It seems that the Snake Cult has spent a lot of money."
"This Medusa's head...isn't it supposed to be embedded in Minerva's shield?" Ye Zhi hesitated, "Then what is in the hand of the snake queen statue?"
Feitan thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps this head was transformed from the [Shield of Medusa]?"
Ye Zhi was startled and looked at the head again. The purple light of the Thousand Illusions Eyes lit up in his eyes and the illusion was immediately revealed.
Shield of Medusa! (End of this chapter)
