Chapter 246: Black Gold Snake King, Ten Thousand Snakes Attack, Accept the Commission
Zhao Ruijia
"You're going to the Zhuge Tribe?"
Zhao Xue looked at Lu Ming in surprise.
"Why do you suddenly want to go to Zhuge Tribe?"
"I am very interested in the legendary figure Zhuge Liang and want to learn more about the situation there."
"Then when are you going to leave?"
"We will set off early tomorrow morning."
"So early?" Zhao Xue looked towards Lu Ming and saw the determination in his eyes. She knew it was useless to dissuade him and said helplessly.
"Then you have a good rest. I will see you off tomorrow."
Zhao Xue finished speaking and left the room.
Zhao Rui's room.
"Xue'er, how is it, did he agree?"
Zhao Xue shook her head gently: "I didn't mention asking him to help deal with the Great Elder."
"Ah, why?"
"He will leave for the Zhuge Tribe tomorrow, so it's better not to let him get involved in this matter."
"Leaving tomorrow?" Zhao Rui frowned slightly.
"Okay, anyway, most of the Great Elder's power is under my control. Even without Lu Ming's help, I can still defeat him."
The father and daughter talked briefly and then left.
Unknown to everyone, a disaster was about to happen.
There is a Snake Valley hundreds of kilometers away from the Sheri Tribe, where countless snake monsters live.
Five-step snake demon, seven-colored ox python, bamboo leaf green snake, iron wire copper bone snake...
Snake Valley is a restricted area for humans, but today a man walked in.
Many snake monsters were glaring at it, but no one dared to attack it because of the scales in the opponent's hands.
The person who came was the man who had come first. At this moment, he was holding the scales of the black gold snake king in his hand and walking into the Snake Valley tremblingly.
"hiss"
Amid the hissing, a ghostly python over 500 meters long appeared, and the surrounding snake demons immediately retreated to show respect.
The man shuddered when he saw the ghost python appear. The powerful aura of the other party made him feel like he was being stared at by the god of death.
He quickly raised the scales of the Black Gold Snake King high up and said, "I am here to see the Lord Snake King. I have something important to discuss with you."
The ghost python's green vertical eyes looked at the man's scales without any movement. Seeing this, the man felt a little relieved.
But before he could completely relax, the ghost python moved.
The man first saw a phantom flash before his eyes, and then he felt his body tighten.
When he saw clearly, he found that he had been tied up by the Ghost Python's tail.
The man was terrified at this moment: "Is this ghost python going to kill me?"
Just when he was panicking, the Ghost Python did not kill him, but instead took him and swam quickly into the Snake Valley.
A few minutes later, the man was taken to a pond.
"hiss"
The ghost python hissed at the pond.
The next moment, the pool of water splashed countless times, and a huge black snake a thousand feet long rushed out of the pool.
This thousand-foot-long snake is the Black Gold Snake King.
The Black Gold Snake King stared at the man and said, "Human, why do you come to see me?"
Feeling the huge pressure from the Black Gold Snake King, the man immediately lowered his head.
"Lord Snake King, my father is the elder of the Sun Shooting Tribe. He has decided to join you. He will close the Five Senses Formation at midnight tonight and respectfully welcome you to the tribe."
When the Black Gold Snake King heard this, a hint of blood flashed in his terrifying vertical pupils.
"Hahaha, very good. Your father is an example of a man who knows how to act according to the times."
"In the demon realm, only we demon beasts are the masters. You humans cannot defeat us."
"Yes, yes, Lord Snake King is absolutely right." The man responded humbly.
The Black Gold Snake King looked at the man again and said, "Go back and tell your father that I am very satisfied with his choice. I will be there on time."
"Ghost Python, send him back."
Without waiting for the man to say anything, the Ghost Python rolled him up with its tail again and walked out of the Snake Valley.
After that person left first, a terrible murderous aura flashed in the black gold snake king's vertical pupils.
"My men, we will set off for the Sun-Shooting Tribe in an hour. We will have a feast there tonight, and humans can eat as much as they want."
The voice of the Black Gold Snake King spread throughout the entire Snake Valley in an instant. Countless snake monsters cheered loudly, and the entire Snake Valley was filled with creepy hisses.
The man who had just walked out of the Snake Valley heard countless hisses and broke out in cold sweat.
His face turned pale: "After tonight, I'm afraid there will be no Sun Shooting Tribe anymore."
...........
The silence of the night is sleep-inducing. Half an hour is still left before midnight, and most people in the tribe, except for the patrolmen, have already fallen asleep.
At this time, the area one kilometer outside the tribe seemed extremely quiet, but if you listened carefully, you could still hear a slight rustling sound.
If someone were patrolling the area at this time, they would have discovered a chilling scene: densely packed snake monsters were wriggling everywhere.
There were so many of these snake monsters that they completely covered the earth.
All the snake demons had bloodthirsty gleams in their eyes as they surrounded the entire Sun-Shooting Tribe.
In the east, the black-gold snake king, with a body over a thousand meters long, was coiled up like a hill, waiting for the signal from whom.
Once the other party sends a signal, it will lead the snake demon army to wipe out the entire Sun-Shooting Tribe.
Five Senses
Great Elder, who is that person who entered the formation?
Hu Weili, who was in charge of guarding the five senses formation, was surprised by this, as the other party rarely came here.
Hu Weili immediately came to the person and asked, "I wonder why the great elder came here so late at night?"
The person said calmly, "The Five Senses Formation is related to the survival of the tribe. I came here to check if there are any omissions in your work."
Upon hearing this, Hu Weili immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Great Elder. I dare to guarantee with my life that there will be no problem with the Five Senses Formation."
Looking at the confident Hu Weili, that person nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'm relieved, you continue with your work, I'll just take a look."
The Five Senses Formation is of great importance, and generally, idle people are not allowed to walk around at will. However, as the chief elder of the tribe, he is naturally qualified.
Hu Weili looked at whoever it was patrolling everywhere, and he was unable to stop it, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Hu Weili pondered for a moment and said, "I might as well inspect the formation as well."
Hu Weili did not follow whoever it was, but started patrolling on his own.
At first he felt everything was normal, but as he patrolled, he discovered something was wrong.
"Wang Gang, it's not your turn today."
Wang Gang immediately replied: "Captain, Wang Lun should be on duty today, but he has something going on at home so he asked him to take over for a day."
Hu Weili heard this and waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work."
It is normal for team members to replace each other in work. After all, everyone has problems at home.
But after Hu Weili inspected the area, he discovered a problem.
There are obviously a lot of people replacing their jobs today. Some are unwell, some have family matters, some are introduced for blind dates, and there are all kinds of reasons.
The number of replacements has now reached fifty-three, nearly a quarter of the number of guards in the formation.
Hu Weili frowned: "Could it be such a coincidence?"
He looked at the replacement personnel suspiciously, and his mind was inexplicably linked to the sudden arrival of the Great Elder, and his uneasiness increased greatly.
"Something's wrong!"
He waved his hand and his trusted men immediately came forward.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
"Go and investigate the whereabouts of today's replacement immediately."
"Yes."
The matter that Hu Weili sent people to investigate was immediately reported to that person.
Who is that? Frowning slightly, "It seems we can't wait any longer."
"Call Hu Weili here immediately and tell him I have something important to discuss with him."
When Hu Weili heard that the Great Elder was looking for him, he thought that the other party had also discovered the problem and hurried over.
"Great Elder, you also discovered..."
Before Hu Weili could finish speaking, someone started taking action.
In the flickering light, a huge mantis appeared. This was someone's life beast, a level 79 fat mantis.
Although the fat mantis has a fat body, its movements are extremely agile. Its pair of knife-like front legs chopped down towards Hu Weili's head with a whistling sound.
Being responsible for guarding the Five Senses Formation, Hu Weili’s strength is naturally not weak and he has rich combat experience.
After noticing the attack, he quickly summoned his life beast.
But after all, he had lost the initiative, and it was somewhat too late to summon the life beast now.
Seeing that Fat Mantis's sword was about to cut him in half, Hu Weili quickly drew out the long sword from his waist to block.
"clang"
Amid the sound of metal clashing, Hu Weili was knocked away by the huge force.
"puff"
The powerful force caused him to spit blood from his mouth. Although he was seriously injured, fortunately he survived.
Hu Weili glared at whoever it was: "What are you doing?"
That person did not answer, but continued to summon the beast of destiny. He wanted to get rid of Hu Weili in the shortest time possible.
As long as he is dealt with, the guard troops here will be leaderless, and it will be easier for them to act.
Seeing this, Hu Weili immediately controlled the life beast to resist.
That person is an academician of level 79, while he is a university scholar of level 68. There is a huge difference in strength between them, and he is no match at all.
Hu Weili's face was gloomy. He knew that he was in great danger today.
He took out a bamboo tube from his arms and released it quickly.
"whoosh"
The flare rose into the sky with a sharp cry, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the air.
As soon as the flare was fired, the entire tribe was instantly awakened.
The people of the Sun-Shooting Tribe quickly got up from their beds and went out with their weapons in hand.
In an environment like the Demon Realm, everyone in the tribe can be said to be a soldier.
Zhao Rui came out of the room with a gloomy face. Looking at the fireworks blooming in the air, his expression was extremely ugly.
Zhao Xue and Lu Ming also came over at this time.
"Father, what happened?"
"Looking at the signal flares, there should be something wrong with the five sense formation."
After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he rushed towards the location of the five senses formation.
When Zhao Xue heard that there was a problem with the five senses formation, she felt terrified.
The Five Senses Array concerns the safety of the entire tribe. Once there is a problem with the Five Senses Array and monsters attack, the entire tribe will fall into a devastating disaster.
Just as Zhao Xue was worried, another flare rose up.
"bang"
The dark night sky was illuminated again.
One kilometer away from the tribe, the Black Gold Snake King watched the flare rise, and a hint of excitement flashed in his vertical pupils.
The snake raised its head high: "Hiss"
With a roar, the entire army of snake demons rushed towards the Sun-Shooting Tribe like wild horses.
In the tribe
Before Zhao Rui reached the Five Senses Array, he received a report from his subordinates.
"Chief, the Great Elder is rebelling. He is leading the rebels to shut down the formation."
Zhao Rui trembled all over. Although he had expected this, he still found it hard to accept when it actually happened.
Anger surged in my heart: "Who is that? You traitor deserve to die!"
"Pass the order down. The Great Elder betrayed the human race. All the people in the Great Elder's lineage will be killed."
Just as Zhao Rui gave the order, bad news came.
"Chief, countless snake demon armies have appeared outside the tribe. It seems that the Snake Valley a hundred kilometers away has come out in full force, and the Black Gold Snake King has also arrived."
Zhao Rui was struck by lightning when he heard the news.
Without the defense of the Five Senses Formation, the 20,000 tribesmen in the tribe could not withstand the siege of the monsters in the Snake Valley!
At this moment, his heart sank to the bottom.
"The Sun-Shooting Tribe is finished."
The news was so shocking that even he, the chief, couldn't react for a while.
After coming to his senses, Zhao Rui gave hurried orders.
"Inform the entire clan. The young and strong will be the first line of defense, the old and weak will be the second line of defense. Do your best to protect the women and children and escape first!"
Without the defense of the Five Senses Formation, the only way to survive is to escape.
He looked at Lu Ming who was beside Zhao Xue: "Lu Ming, although you are not from the Shooting Sun Tribe, you are a human after all."
"I hope you can do me a favor for the sake of our kind."
"Uncle Zhao, please speak."
"I want to lead my people to resist the invasion of the snake demon. Please go to the formation with Zhao Xue and kill the traitor. The most important thing is to see if we can restart the formation."
"If the Five Senses Formation can be reactivated, the Sun-Shooting Tribe still has hope of survival."
"I agreed."
Lu Ming agreed to this commission without hesitation.
Just as Zhao Rui said, as a human being, he naturally did not want the 20,000 human beings of the Shooting Sun Tribe to die.
As for who to kill, I must kill him both for public and private reasons!
When Zhao Rui heard this, a smile finally appeared on his ugly face.
"I will do my best to stop the invasion of the snake demon army and buy you some time. Everything is up to you."
After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he turned and rushed towards the front line of the tribe.
"Zhao Xue, let's go."
Two minutes later, the two arrived at the five senses formation.
At this time, the battle of the five senses formation was nearing its end.
Although the man he led was small in number, he was a Level 79 Academician-level Life Master, and the guards were no match for him.
Under the leadership of whoever it was, there were nearly 200 guards, but now only less than of them are struggling to hold on.
Even though they were about to die, these guards remained fearless and cursed at whoever it was.
"Who is that? You are a traitor to the human race. You deserve to die."
"Who is that? You are unworthy of being the Great Elder, you shameless old bastard."
"Who is that? I used to respect you, but you are such a beast in human form. I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
......
Whose face would be as black as the bottom of a pot after being insulted like this by the guards.
As the great elder of the Sun-Shooting Tribe, when had he ever been insulted like this!
"Just shut up. Don't blame me for what happened. Blame Zhao Rui if you want to blame someone."
"He was the first to attack me, otherwise I would never have resorted to such a desperate measure."
Maybe it's for peace of mind, who is still looking for a high-sounding excuse for his or her behavior.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold shout came from not far away.
"Who is that? You are so shameless!"
Lu Ming and Zhao Xue came over.
Lu Ming stared at him coldly: "If you hadn't secretly colluded and prepared to rebel, would the chief have taken action against you?"
"Besides, is this your reason for colluding with the monster?"
"In the final analysis, you are a selfish villain, a traitor to the human race who colluded with monsters for your own benefit!"
After being exposed by Lu Ming in public, that person's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"It turns out to be your boy!"
"Your appearance ruined my plan and crippled my son. Today I will destroy your body."
"Kill me!"
