Chapter 304 I am not good at fighting
"Crack, click, click!"
Looking at the old hen held in Senior Tom's arms, stretching its head to peck at the "earthworm" excitedly, and looking up at the huge chicken beak that tore through the clouds time and time again, pecking at the Snake Archbishop for defeat, Leon couldn't help but shake his head slightly, with a look of confusion in his eyes, as if he were in another world.
What the hell is going on?
“This is the chicken I bought outside earlier, from the stall selling fish and manors right at the entrance.
In the miniature manor he sold, there was a small chicken coop behind the kitchen, which housed dozens of hens for laying eggs, which was just right for dealing with these snake spirit followers, so I used it for a while. "
Looking at Leon, whose soul and body were somewhat separated and who had not yet completely escaped from the Snake Spirit Secret Shrine, the lazy young man explained:
"The secret shrine of the snake spirit is actually a snake egg. The narrow passage we passed through before entering the secret shrine is equivalent to passing through its reproductive cavity and undergoing a simple gestation, so the soul will be temporarily 'hatched' into a snake.
As for the effect of the snake egg secret temple, it is roughly equivalent to enlarging our souls, but extremely shrinking our bodies, and then swapping the positions of the soul and body, turning us from people with snake souls into snakes with human souls. "
"..."
"Don't you understand?"
Looking at Leon's still confused face, Senior Tom thought for a moment, then gave an example:
"This is just like the difference between babies and adults. Adults perceive the world mainly through their physical eyes, and then through thinking and cognition. It is the body first and then the soul. However, babies who have not yet been born have not yet been born, and their bodies do not really exist, so it is the soul first and then the body.
Then we who enter the Secret Temple of the Snake Egg are equivalent to becoming unborn baby snakes. From the body before the soul, it becomes the soul before the body. The priority of the body and the soul is reversed, which is roughly equivalent to becoming a snake with a human soul. "
When he said this, the lazy young man paused for a moment, then took out a half-sack of salt that had not been used up, shook it in front of Leon, and reminded him:
"Remember? I had performed three sets of mysteries before I entered the door. The second set, which was made up of five kinds of metals, was used to steal money from the cat spirit, while the first set, which was made up of mercury, sulfur, and salt, was used to control the soul and body.
These three materials represent the soul, the body, and the bridge between the two, which can just resist the effect of the Snake Egg Secret Shrine. As long as I lock the ratio between the three in advance, I will not be affected by the effect of the Snake Egg Secret Shrine."
"..."
In Lyon's silence, Senior Tom continued to explain:
"In this case, although I cannot directly interfere with the situation in the ritual, my body will not be infinitely shrunk. However, your bodies are suppressed by the secret temple, so as long as we find a chicken and send it in, it will be enough to kill the bishop.
The only troublesome thing was the three-headed snake crown given by the snake spirit, but you attracted his attention from the front, so I found a way to invite three holy spirits whose bodies feed on snakes, used some materials to simulate their marks, and forcibly removed the snake crown.
After losing the life-saving snake crown, the bishop, whose body was suppressed to the limit by the secret temple and whose soul strength was suppressed by me, could not even beat a chicken... Do you understand?"
"..."
I think you understand...right?
Leon, who was not at all confused, nodded slightly stiffly and then asked:
"Senior Tom, are these... um... mysteries your main way of fighting?"
"Roughly the same……"
The lazy young man nodded when he heard this, then shook his head after thinking for a while:
"But rather than a fighting method, it's more about the way I 'do things'. I don't know how to fight.
Unlike you, my core anomaly is special. It allows me to integrate more closely with the world and strengthen the effects of these occult rituals, but it has almost no direct damage and protection capabilities. So if it is a "encounter battle", Emma can easily kill ten thousand of me, but if the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark, she should not have the chance to see me."
"..."
Got it, an old silver coin with strange tricks.
……
After defining the lazy young man in his mind, Leon couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Senior Tom, before entering the meeting place, you prepared three rituals in total. What was the third ritual for? Was it used to deal with the snake spirit?"
"No."
The lazy young man shook his head and said:
"The snake spirit is easy to deal with. As long as you can succeed the position of bishop and successfully trick it back, I think it will be easy to kill it. But... uh... wait!"
Looking at the venomous ball python that was stepped on by the old hen and then bit on the head, Senior Tom hurriedly urged:
"He's almost dead. Go around the chicken's butt and be ready to wrap yourself around the snake statue at any time. Take his place as the bishop presiding over the secret ceremony. I'll help you disguise yourself... Go quickly! It's too late!"
"Ok!"
Looking in the direction of the "Chicken Snake War" and finding that it had indeed come to an end, Leon did not bother to satisfy his curiosity, and hurriedly followed the direction pointed out by Senior Tom, went around the chicken's butt, climbed up the black and white altar more than a hundred meters high, and coiled towards the tail of the snake spirit sculpture.
"Zi..."
Along with the sound similar to frying meat patties on an iron plate, Leon, who had transformed into a little red snake, couldn't help but reveal a look of pain on his face.
There seemed to be some kind of restriction on this altar. For him, who was not yet a bishop, every step forward was like rolling on a mountain of knives, hurting from the body to the depths of the soul. The moment he came into contact with the snake sculpture, he had a chaotic feeling as if his soul was about to leave his body.
But it wasn't long before the situation changed.
The old hen pecked out a more than ten-meter-deep hole with a bang, and then happily "clucked" and carried the defenseless venomous ball python into the sky. The snake spirit sculpture, which had been trying to "resist" Leon's contact and constantly trying to push him away, suddenly became friendly and let him wrap around its tail.
As the coiling action was completely completed, as if some mysterious ritual had just been completed, Leon's consciousness blurred slightly, and he was suddenly connected to an incomparably huge soul.
Hmm? My bishop?
After noticing something strange, the snake spirit that was lurking outside the emerald jungle turned its head in surprise, looked at the blurry little snake on its tail, and asked majestically:
"Aren't you presiding over a secret ceremony? Why did you suddenly come to see me?"
