Chapter 441: The Snake of Evil
Ryan looked up at the dense forest ahead, as if he had noticed something.
Suddenly, Cookie's ears stood up, and he bared his teeth and growled.
At this time, dense rustling sounds came from a large fan-shaped area in front, as if hundreds of small animals were rushing over.
The next second, hundreds of red-eyed squirrels as big as puppies, with flesh and blood exposed on their skin, rushed towards a man and a dog.
Ryan could naturally sense that the mental state of these red-eyed squirrels seemed to be a little bit wrong, with a ferocious expression, revealing sharp incisors and scarlet gums, which was very different from the gentle state seen in the forest before.
There is no doubt that the root cause of this situation must be the Mother Tree Sect that held some special ceremony here.
Facing the attacking red-eyed squirrels, Ryan did not use his newly mastered crystal killing move "sawtooth cutting". Instead, he casually pointed his finger, and three fine, silver-light-emitting mesh-like metal giant nets were quickly blasted towards the squirrels.
"Shua!"
These red-eyed squirrels seemed to instinctively sense the danger and wanted to jump sideways to avoid it, but the three metal nets suddenly changed from overlapping front and back to three nets arranged horizontally, moving forward in unison.
For a moment, this group of red-eyed squirrels was like a school of fish in the sea encountering a trawling fishing boat, and they were immediately caught in one net!
"Chi!"
The extra fine mesh of the metal cutting net this time resulted in almost no fish slipping through the net. Suddenly, a bloody storm rose from the air.
"Patta, patta!"
The flesh and blood of the red-eyed squirrels fell like raindrops.
In less than two seconds, hundreds of red-eyed squirrels were killed by Ryan's liquefied killing move "Multiple Cut Nets", and the few remaining ones were also killed by the sharp claws of the greyhound war dog Cookie.
It can be seen that Cookie seems to dislike these mutant squirrels with exposed flesh and blood.
It was not willing to open its mouth to bite, and just killed it with its claws, and then threw it aside with disgust.
"This forest has been alienated." Ryan looked ahead and thought to himself.
Combined with the range he had seen on the airship before, this area is quite wide, probably tens of thousands of hectares.
"For such a large area, the Mother Tree Sect should have held a large-scale prayer ceremony here, relying on the power of the gods to achieve the effect in front of them." "
But this kind of prayer requires a lot of preparations, rituals, sacrifices, and multiple hosts, etc. It seems that the intelligence from the headquarters is correct. If there is no traitor on the elves, this thing is almost impossible to do."
After a little thought, Ryan continued to move forward.
He recalled the map in his mind. Although his destination was the elf town of Bashara where Anna was, there happened to be an elf outpost along the way. He planned to take a look and confirm his guess.
At the same time.
In a clearing in the forest between the elf town of Bashara and Ferdinand City. There
was a witch array pattern covering hundreds of square meters on the ground, which was composed of crisscrossing lines such as straight lines, triangles and circles. The pattern looked extremely complicated and emitted a faint green light.
This was actually a large prayer ritual of the Secret Snake Cult.
However, if you look closely, you can see that there is a gap in the northeast corner of this ritual, as if a meteorite crater several meters deep was blasted out by some powerful witchcraft or extraordinary combat skills.
What is more striking is that in the center of the witch array, hundreds of handsome and slender pure-blooded elves were tied up. Judging from their figures and faces, there were men, women, young and old, and it seemed that the elves of a village or town were captured.
"Vice-Pope Quileute, that man is too fast. We can't catch up with him. He ran away again." A man in a black robe with a python pattern on his chest wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a panic.
The middle-aged man named Quileute was covered in a black robe and a black hood on his head, so his face could not be seen clearly.
He just nodded and did not blame his men.
Because the opponent was very fast, and was good at two-handed swords, he was strong and seemed to be not far from being a sword master.
The first time the opponent appeared was yesterday in the elf town of Bashalan.
At that time, they had just captured the town and were about to collect elf captives. The opponent actually took advantage of their carelessness and rescued a half-elf girl.
However, this was not a big deal. If this kind of mixed blood was used in prayer rituals, it was not as effective as pure-blooded elves and was not precious, so he did not take it to heart.
Although this kind of thing happened, it was a bit of a slap in the face of the vice-pope who led the team, but compared with his main mission this time, this was not important.
But what happened next made him a little angry!
Last night and this morning, the other party raided twice, interrupting the prayer ritual that was about to be arranged. At the same time, they also planned to rescue these pure-blooded elves.
This is very embarrassing!
Of course, he did not do nothing. He organized several encirclements and suppressions, but still let the other party escape.
Of course, it’s not that the other party’s strength is stronger than his. Quileute can see that the other party has not entered the epic level. The problem lies with himself, because the gift he obtained in the original snake feast prayer is the bloodline of the legendary earthly python 'Sladran'.
A legendary bloodline that tends to be gigantic, brute force, biting, entanglement and poisonous. Relatively speaking, speed is his weakest point.
On the contrary, the other party seems to be best at sword skills and speed.
This is quite a headache for Quileute!
"Is Minos not here yet?" Quileute seemed to have thought of something and asked with his head tilted.
"Lord Minos should be here soon. Two hours ago, we received a message that Lord Minos is less than a hundred miles away from us." The subordinate on the side bowed and answered.
Minos was the number one of the twelve Secret Serpent Messengers.
As for why Quileute asked about Minos, it was because Minos was the fastest in the entire Secret Serpent Cult.
If Minos was there, the man with the big sword on his back would not be able to get away, because as long as Minos entangled the other party for a moment, his attack would definitely hit the other party.
"Well, contact Minos and ask him to speed up." Quileute said.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Vice Pope." The black-robed subordinate turned around and left quickly.
"No need, I'm here."
Before the voice fell, a figure flashed, and a circle of pale white air waves swept around. The next second, he came to Quileute and stood still. At this time, the rumbling sound of breaking through the air caused by his high-speed movement came.
This person was about thirty years old, with golden curly hair and a slender figure, especially a pair of legs, which seemed to account for 70% of the body. In Ryan's previous life, it was a long-legged Oppa.
The other party was wearing a noble hunting suit, and the identity of the Secret Snake Cult could not be seen at all.
However, if you look closely at the back of his left hand, you can find a connection between him and the Secret Snake Cult. On the back of his hand is a thin emerald green snake tattoo, which is vivid and lifelike!
"Vice Pope of Quileute."
The young man named Minos smiled slightly, put his right hand on his chest, and bowed to Quileute.
Seeing Minos, Quileute's hood also showed a rare smile, and said in a very kind manner: "Minos, you came faster than I thought."
"Just now, we encountered an enemy. The enemy's speed is very fast. If you were here, the enemy would not have escaped from my hands."
"Vice Pope of Quileute, you are too modest. It's better to leave such a small matter as tracking to me."
"Which direction did the enemy go?" Minos turned his head and asked the black robe beside him.
"Lord Minos, the enemy went in the direction of Ferdinand City." The black robe subordinate immediately bowed.
"Minos, the enemy's swordsmanship is very superb, and he is not far from the Sword Saint. Just find him."
"Oh? I see, Quileute Vice-Pope, I'll go now." Minos smiled and said.
"Yes."
"Pay attention to my signal."
Before he finished speaking, a roar of air waves came, and Minos, who stayed in the original place, gradually disappeared. Everyone suddenly found that Minos in front of them was just a residual image, and his real body was already dozens of meters away.
This speed is really terrifying!
But the members of the Secret Snake Cult who are familiar with Minos know better that in addition to speed, Minos is also particularly good at poison, which is why he can sit firmly in the top position of the Twelve Secret Snakes.
Minos, nicknamed "Evil Snake"!
On Ryan's side, after being attacked by a wave of red-eyed squirrels.
In the next ten minutes, he was attacked by two batches of other mutant creatures in succession. Although they were also easily eliminated, Ryan found something wrong.
It seems that these infected wild animals seem to be controlled by someone behind the scenes.
If that was the case, Ryan immediately looked up, his sharp eyes looked through the mottled shadows of the trees to the sky, and through Blood Feather he determined his position in Ferdinand Forest at this time.
Comparing with the map that he had long remembered in his mind, Ryan found that he was about seven or eight kilometers away from an elf outpost.
"If my guess is correct, the other party should be near that outpost." Ryan immediately moved quickly in the direction of the elf outpost.
Sure enough, the frequency of obstacles Ryan encountered next became higher and higher.
Brown bears with everted flesh and blood, giant tusked wild boars, etc., came one after another!
However, Ryan laughed, because this proved that his guess was basically correct.
At this time, suddenly the loud cry of Blood Feather came from the sky, and three mutant vultures emitting red light were seen rushing towards Blood Feather. For a while, the two sides fought and fought.
Ryan's mind turned slightly, and he commanded Blood Feather to immediately break away from the melee with these mutant vultures and dive down. These mutant vultures naturally chased after him and also dived down.
After Blood Feather landed in front of Ryan, Ryan waved his hand and saw a huge silver metal net across the mutant vultures' eyes!
The three mutant vultures were just diving, and they felt a huge silver net suddenly appear in front of them. Before they could adjust their direction, they were accompanied by a "chi" sound of a sharp blade entering their bodies, and they turned into three piles of minced meat.
Suddenly, waves of feathers and a mixture of flesh and blood floated down from the sky!
Blood Feather chirped happily a few times, rubbed against Ryan, and flew into the sky again.
It's not that Blood Feather is not strong in combat, but Ryan felt that since his master was here, there was no need to let his war pet fall into a situation of being besieged.
At this time, the thin slice on his chest vibrated.
Ryan took out the thin slice and injected mental power.
Immediately, Claire's voice came from the thin sheet: "Captain Ryan, I'm Claire."
"Claire, I'm Ryan, please go."
"Captain, sorry to bother you, we got the latest news from the headquarters. It seems that because it is the land of the elves, the Secret Snake Cult has made a large-scale move this time. Among the personnel sent are Deputy Pope Quileute and the number one of the Twelve Secret Snake Envoys."
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, the witchcraft communication seemed to be disturbed by something.
At the same time, Ryan seemed to hear some distant whispering in the void.
Although it was not difficult for him to resist the current level of mental interference with his mental power, he basically understood why even the birds in the sky were infected.
After all, it is easy for birds to leave when they find something wrong.
"Deputy Pope Quileute seems to be an epic strongman." Ryan's eyes flickered.
Although Claire didn't finish her words just now, he already knew that Claire should be here to remind him.
"As for the number one among the twelve snake masters, I seem to have heard the Ereda sisters mention him. He seems to be a guy nicknamed 'Evil Snake'."
"Interesting, I hope you are strong enough so that I can test the combat effectiveness of the dragon vein wizard."
Ryan was calm and fearless after hearing this news.
After killing the mutant vulture, Ryan soon came to a collapsed and burned building. According to the markings on the map, this was undoubtedly an elf outpost.
But in the ruins in front of him, only a square house wreckage and several long log chars left on the ground can be vaguely seen.
The log chars should be the support pillars of the outpost.
Ryan touched the temperature and there was no heat left. It was obviously more than 24 hours. In addition, he looked around and did not find any elf corpses.
However, there were several obvious dragging marks and bloodstains on the ground around. It seemed that the corpses had been taken away.
Because if they were bitten by wild animals, there would be some traces left.
Suddenly, Ryan stood up and looked at a place in the dense forest on the side.
A hoarse voice came:
"A member of the slave-hunting team? This is not the place for you!"
"Didn't anyone tell you? You have crossed the line, get out!"
At this time, a hooded man in a black robe slowly walked out of the dense forest.
Obviously, the other party misjudged Ryan's identity.
This is because in the forest, using the sensitive sense of smell of dogs to track is a common battle pet combination for the slave-hunting team members in Ferdinand Forest.
Therefore, although Ryan is wearing a wizard robe, the slave-hunting team here is very strong and wizards are not uncommon. Of course, the main reason is that the combination of Ryan and Cookie, a man and a dog, is inadvertently in line with the appearance of the slave-hunting team members.
No wonder the cultist in front of him made a mistake at first sight!
When Ryan sensed it, he found that the breath coming from the other party was familiar.
It seemed to be very similar to the breath of an enemy he had fought before.
Immediately, Ryan thought of something.
"Yes, the other party's aura is almost exactly the same as that of the flesh and blood tree spirit. It seems that the one who attacked the elf outpost is indeed the Mother Tree Sect."
"However, from the other party's tone, it seems that the slave-hunting team here, or at least part of the slave-hunting team, seems to have reached some kind of agreement with this Mother Tree Sect."
"In this case, this guy in front of us can't be killed directly."
"Perhaps... torture is a more appropriate choice!" Ryan thought to himself.
So, when Ryan's pair of dark eyes looked at the other party again.
Somehow, a creepy feeling suddenly surged in the heart of the black-robed man!
