Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 253 - 157: Snake Spirit Secret Realm, Snake Spirit Fruit_2
Chapter 253: Chapter 157: Snake Spirit Secret Realm, Snake Spirit Fruit_2
Crack!
As the whip flashed, striking down, a group of tattered robe-clad people chained in fetters either howled in pain or were numb to the torment.
The desert was already unbearably scorching; some had lips so parched they started to peel, unable to carry on.
The escorts, upon seeing this, wanted to lash out again, but quickly...
The sound of shuffling footsteps approached, and a man dressed in black walked towards them.
It was a fabric they had never seen before, but the man did have a rather tall stature.
"Who are you!"
The lead escort barked an inquiry, eyes slit like a serpent’s, brimming with vigilance.
Chen Feng realized he could understand their language, although it was different from that of Earth Star.
But then...
"I want to ask, where is the closest settlement?"
He spoke, still in the language of Red Country of Earth Star.
However, the other party obviously could not comprehend.
"What are you saying!"
The lead escort frowned and rebuked, and Chen Feng shook his head.
Within his perception, he could sense the other’s malice; the next second, he saw three others, mounted on large lizards, encircling him.
"So it’s a low-class nobody... without any blessings."
A cruel and greedy look flashed in the escort leader’s eyes. Chen Feng then realized the difference between himself and the three other men, compared to the group of slaves.
That group of slaves were entirely human.
But these four had more or less reptilian traits, and their faces bore a serpentine totem.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, as he was thinking, a stealthy whip strike came from behind his head.
Snap!
With a grab, Chen Feng looked up at the lead escort whose expression had shifted slightly.
"I just wanted to ask for directions."
"Why... seek death?"
Buzz!
A streak of crimson unfurled, True Intent Red Tiger pouncing with a flurry of strikes.
Splurch!!
Three figures were dead in a blink, and the lead escort’s face turned ashen.
"Kill him!!"
He waved and yelled furiously as the other three patterned giant lizards opened their maws wide, lunging to bite Chen Feng.
Thud!!!
Blood sprayed wildly, evaporating and disappearing upon the scorching sand and gravel.
A massive hole appeared on the chests of the three lizards, and the blood-soaked arm was slowly withdrawn.
"Nearly at the level of Entering Strength, Perfect Internal Training."
Judging their strength, he looked towards the lead escort.
"Damn it!!"
The man’s face was pale with fear, and he hastily ordered the patterned giant lizard he rode to flee the scene.
But then.
Roar!!!
The True Intent Red Tiger leaped out, now five meters in size after the enhancement of the Perfect Flame Gang Body.
As the tiger struck, Flame Burst exploded.
Splurch!
Blood decorated both the figure of the man and the patterned giant lizard, while the slaves behind stood gaping where they stood.
"Hehe..."
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth as the lead escort fell backward, dead.
With a slight raise of his brows, Chen Feng was not satisfied.
He was unable to obtain the Snake Spirit Power.
"Could it be because they are natives of the Secret Realm?"
A hypothesis surfaced in his mind as he looked at the group of slaves.
None dared to meet his gaze; all showed tremulous expressions of fear.
The enhancements of Green Armor and Heart of Glory were minimal; the nourishment from the weak could barely offer much growth.
Seeing this, he wasted no time.
Chen Feng went forward and unlocked the slaves’ shackles, then signaled for them to lead the way.
The place was unfamiliar, and communication was impossible.
People have a natural instinct to survive; he believed that by following these people, he could find the settlement.
Furthermore...
He glanced at the clothes of the lead escort.
With a spark in his gaze, Chen Feng flicked a grain of sand off his body.
...
"Too late."
Two days later.
Three cloaked figures in black robes appeared beside the four dead patterned giant lizards, briefly inspecting the lethal wounds.
There were four more bodies, one of which had been stripped of clothing.
"My lord, it must have been an outsider; the residual power on these wounds does not belong to our world."
One hooded figure with serpent-like pupils spoke darkly after touching the wound on the corpse and analyzing it.
"Mhm."
The leader simply nodded while another subordinate, unsolicited, quickly produced an item resembling a compass, whose needle was pointing southward.
"My lord, it seems he went to Yellow Sand City."
"That’s the territory of the Fire Rong Tribe now, right?"
"Yes, the last outsider was also hunted with their help."
"Ah, that simplifies things."
...
The sun blazed fiercely; Chen Feng stood atop a low dune, looking into the distance.
A city built of rock, tinted with sandy hues, its stone blocks polished and stacked layer upon layer, interspersed with buildings of redwood.
The broad road outside the city was flanked by withered trees; the occasional breeze lifted wisps of sand.
"A Barbaric Tribe, huh..."
During the two-day journey, although he couldn’t communicate properly with the group of slaves, he had nonetheless gleaned quite a bit of information.
This Secret Realm world resembled the pattern of Barbaric Tribes.
The Snake God Temple was the pinnacle of power, beneath which were the Eight Great Snake Clans ruling over everything, followed by a survival space for minor tribes.
The stronger the clan or the higher the status, the closer they were to the form of a Snake-man.
In the words of this world, this was seen as receiving the Snake God’s blessings.
Conversely, those with fewer reptilian traits on their bodies held lower status.
Especially normal humans.
They could only become slaves, also referred to as low-class.
"Worshipping the Snake God..."
With a cold gaze, Chen Feng had long parted ways with the group of slaves.
Cloaked in a long brown linen robe, with most of his face also concealed, he headed towards Yellow Sand City.
Around him, many similarly garbed figures, though humanoid in appearance, were mostly not quite normal.
Some had slit pupils, while others showed scales on their necks or arms.
Besides this, their faces revealed either black or green serpentine totems—marks from the Snake God Temple, the greatest proof of the Snake God’s blessing.
