How could a person who was willing to fight back even when facing death allow their master to be attacked or controlled?
The task assigned by the Snake Lord seemed simple at first glance, but in reality, it was meant to make Winter share Autumn’s anger, then seize the opportunity to severely hurt Autumn. However, before the Snake Lord could finish speaking, a chilling cold suddenly came from behind.
Right on the heels of that, the weaker Snake Lord lost control of its body. It was as if his body had been frozen solid.
Once Winter acted, it was with full force. Seeing the Snake Lord about to regain control of the body, a large amount of frost fell, completely sealing the Snake Lord into ice crystals.
Although the Snake Lord caused several cracks to appear on the ice crystal when he struggled, he was ultimately unable to escape the control of the ice crystal as he wished.
After attacking the weaker Snake Lord, Winter immediately attacked the stronger Snake Lord.
Autumn nodded at Lin Yuan, and the latter entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
He did not give the surrounding the Ancient Snake Gu Palace experts a chance to target him and threaten Autumn and Winter with his safety. When Autumn and Winter had resolved everything, they would naturally inform Lin Yuan. At that time, Lin Yuan would come out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
Autumn and Winter had informed Lin Yuan that the two Snake Lords had the aura of special insect lifeforms like the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion.
Under the explanations provided by Autumn and Winter, Lin Yuan came to understand the true nature of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion.
Although Lin Yuan already had a way to obtain an endless lifespan, he was still very curious about lifeforms like the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion. Lin Yuan could not trade the Lifespan Mouse, but he could trade the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion’s venom.
Lifeforms that increased their lifespan through the venom of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion needed to absorb the venom again every tens of thousands of years. Otherwise, not only would their bodies accelerate aging, but the onset of the venom would also subject these lifeforms to an excruciating state of torment. Therefore, those who used the poison of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion to prolong their lives needed to continuously trade for the scorpion’s poison to survive.
Once this spiritual material for extending lifespan hit the trading market, it would command an extraordinarily high price. To some extent, spiritual materials that could increase lifespan would be more valuable than even the most high-end Creator resources. After all, even Grade 5 Creators had no means to achieve immortality.
In the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan took out Morbius’ newly produced spirit qi crystals and quietly strengthened the Spirit World Barrier Turtle.
This time, Autumn and Winter had to use schemes to fight against the Ancient Snake Gu Palace. This made Lin Yuan deeply realize the need to increase Autumn and Winter’s strength.
Sensing Lin Yuan’s expectations, the Spirit World Barrier Turtle used all its strength to absorb the pure spirit qi in the spirit qi crystals.
Its strength increased at an extremely fast speed, and it finally broke through the barrier of Myth Breed and advanced to Suzerain/Creation.
After nearly three hours, Lin Yuan received Autumn and Winter’s message.
After leaving the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan realized that there were four severely injured giant snakes lying in front of Autumn and Winter.
Winter stood up as usual, but Autumn’s face was a little pale. It was obvious that he had suffered serious injuries.
When he saw Lin Yuan’s concerned gaze, he smiled and patted his shoulder. “Young Master, my injuries are not serious. Furthermore, my roots are not injured. It won’t take long for me to recover. Having not lifted a finger for so many years then getting injured by these few old folks who haven’t even fully recovered is truly embarrassing!”
Despite sustaining injuries in the battle just now, Autumn still held a contemptuous attitude toward the Snake Lords.
Winter reported the situation to Lin Yuan in a serious tone, “Young Master, despite some unexpected incidents, the operation went smoothly and no one escaped. This eliminated the risk of information leaking to the outside world.
“Autumn was injured because none of us anticipated that there were actually four Snake Lords heading toward South Face City instead of just the two apparent ones. Among them, the other two Snake Lords attacked in secret, resulting in Autumn sustaining some injuries.
“As Autumn mentioned, his injuries are not severe and will soon recover, which will not affect the subsequent plans for the contest over the top grade blessed land.
“Young Master, I’ve always wanted to pry open the mouths of these Snake Lords, but they are a tough nut to crack. They’re unwilling to answer my questions. Hence, I still need Young Master to make the decision!”
When Winter spoke to Lin Yuan, the Snake Lord, who was the most severely injured and felt that his life was rapidly draining away, could not help but let out an angry hiss. He then told Lin Yuan with a threatening tone, “If you dare to attack the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, we will not let you off. Not only the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, but you will also have to bear the wrath of the Supreme Poison Valley. Our Ancient Snake Gu Palace has already merged into the Supreme Poison Valley…”
When the Snake Lord roared at Lin Yuan, Autumn used actions to let him know how powerful he was.
Autumn and Winter had long known that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace had joined the Supreme Poison Valley.
The Supreme Poison Valley was the sacred land of all poison-type lifeforms in the world. It was considered one of the three strongest factions in the South Universe and was enough to contend with the official factions in the South Universe. It was no wonder that the Ancient Snake Gu Palace was so confident
in their actions.
While other factions may fear the Supreme Poison Valley, Autumn and Winter did not. They secretly speculated that it was highly likely the venom of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion obtained by the Ancient Snake Gu Palace was bestowed upon them by the Supreme Poison Valley.
Otherwise, with the Ancient Snake Gu Palace’s strength, it would be more or less difficult to obtain the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion.
Winter’s foot rested upon the head of this Snake Lord, and Lin Yuan observed the defiant expression still present on his face.
Lin Yuan said lightly, “If he’s going to be this disobedient, just kill him. There’s no need to extract information from his mouth. There are plenty of other channels to gather intelligence. Since he doesn’t even have the awareness as a captive prisoner, it’s better to help him sober up properly!”
Lin Yuan did not have a good impression of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace to begin with. Moreover, they had just targeted Lin Yuan and wanted to kill him.
Lin Yuan intended to obtain the information he wanted from the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
After all, these snake-type lifeforms of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace had existed for countless years because of the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion’s venom.
The four Snake Lords were all superiors in the Ancient Snake Gu Palace, and the information they knew was about the same.
Lin Yuan only needed to ensure that one of the Snake Lords was willing to speak. There was no need for all of them to open their mouths.
These Snake Lords were showing too much defiance. Instead of wasting effort interrogating them, it was better to drop some hints and make them understand a simple truth: disobedience and lack of cooperation only led to a dead end. There were no other paths available.
Lin Yuan’s words made the four Snake Lords’ expressions change. The Snake Lord that had just moved out of the Supreme Poison Valley was not afraid of Lin Yuan.
The Supreme Poison Valley was domineering and extremely protective.
This Snake Lord did not believe that anyone would dare to disrespect the Supreme Poison Valley.
However, Autumn did not give this Snake Lord much time to think. With a forceful stomp, Autumn viciously crushed the head of this brightly colored Snake Lord, splitting his head open. Autumn’s kick didn’t kill this Snake Lord directly, but the latter could truly feel the killing intent contained in Autumn’s kick.
This Snake Lord let out a shrill roar and was about to beg for mercy, but Autumn’s attack followed extremely quickly. The continuous attacks finally made the Snake Lord lose its breath.
When Autumn attacked this Snake Lord, he had injected his roots power into its body.
Autumn’s roots power, which contained a bleak aura, imprisoned the Snake Lord’s soul.
Not only did Autumn’s actions prove that Lin Yuan really dared to make a move, but Autumn also said to Lin Yuan after his action, “Young Master, these Snake Lords are too powerful. They can’t be controlled by your Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake.
“However, with the bloodline of the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake, it can absorb the remains of this Snake Lord. After absorbing such a complete body, the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake’s strength will definitely increase greatly!
“In order to fight for this top grade blessed land, it’s not convenient for us to bring captives with us. If the remaining three Snake Lords are unwilling to speak, why don’t we get rid of them all? I don’t want them to cause any trouble in the future!”
After saying that, Autumn released his aura and enveloped the three Snake Lords with it, as if Lin Yuan would immediately get rid of them as soon as he opened his mouth.
Autumn said this to express his true thoughts to Lin Yuan and also to force these Snake Lords to speak.
Lin Yuan felt a little regretful. If only the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake was stronger. If the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake could control these Snake Lords through its bloodline, not only could it increase Lin Yuan’s strength, but it could also obtain a large amount of information. In such a case, there was no need to think of a way to make these Snake Lords speak.
Lin Yuan summoned the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake and let it devour the corpse. The Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake was a glutton to begin with. Previously, it had not been able to devour many snake-species feys by Lin Yuan’s side.
Most of the 50 star pirates’ snake-type feys were controlled by the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake. Only the ones with poor potential were treated as food by the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake.
Compared to controlling so many snake-type feys, the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake actually wanted to have a good meal. Now that it saw such high-quality food, the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake happily wheedled at Lin Yuan. After obtaining Lin Yuan’s permission, it directly swallowed the dead Snake Lord’s body.
The Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake spoke to Lin Yuan in a voice that alternated between male and female. “Master, it will take me half a year to refine the snake body just now. After half a year, can you provide the body of another Snake Lord for me to devour? After devouring the bodies of the two Snake Lords, I can basically try to control the remaining two. Although I prefer to treat them as food compared to controlling them, it’s more beneficial for you to control more powerful snake-species
feys!”
Despite the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake’s gluttony, it was very sensible and didn’t tell lies.
The Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake indeed felt that these Snake Lords were more useful alive. Moreover, these living Snake Lords could be considered the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake’s own power in its own hands.
Upon hearing the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake’s words, Lin Yuan was delighted. He had originally intended to get rid of these Snake Lords, but since the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake had said so, Lin Yuan would keep two of them for a year. A year was not long. These two Snake Lords had combat strength that
surpassed the Holy Spirit level and were at the pinnacle of the domain mountain-class. It was very difficult to recruit such experts.
Not only did Lin Yuan hear the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake’s words, but the Snake Lords also heard it. These Snake Lords could sense the bloodline of the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake that was actually of a higher level than theirs! They felt an extremely strong control from the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake and did not doubt that the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake could control them. If the bloodline of the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake was lower, it would have exploded and died after devouring the body of a Snake Lord.
The Snake Lords felt an unprecedented sense of urgency. Apart from being afraid that they would be controlled by the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake, this sense of urgency was more because they did not want to become its next target.
In the situation where they were treated as food, these three Snake Lords couldn’t care much anymore. All three of them had experienced troubles with their lifespan. As they had joined the Supreme Poison Valley and received a gift from them, they could rely on the Fate Transferring Nine Desolation Scorpion’s venom to survive for a long time. These three Snake Lords had faced the temptation of endless lifespan. How could they be willing to become food and die now?
However, one of the three Snake Lords had to be their food. These three Snake Lords had already turned from their original companions to competitors.
One of the Snake Lords spoke first. “I can tell you what you want to know!”
As soon as this Snake Lord spoke, the other two Snake Lords immediately could not hold it in anymore and hurriedly expressed their willingness to exchange the intelligence for their lives.
However, Lin Yuan did not give the three Snake Lords a chance.
Lin Yuan said in an extremely serious tone, “You all heard it. I’ll only leave one of the three of you behind. As for which two of them will stay, and who will be your food, I’ll give you a chance to fight for it yourself.
“I’ll give you half an hour to present all the information you know on the paper through your spiritual energy. The two people who wrote the most detail will be left behind. The one who wrote less will be disposed of. This method is extremely fair to all three of you.”
When the three Snake Lords saw that Lin Yuan was clearly not giving them a chance to speak, they stopped begging for mercy and wasting time. Instead, they began to rack their brains to think of what secrets they could write to survive.
To be honest, the information these three Snake Lords knew was about the same. They were all higher-ups of the Ancient Snake Gu Palace.
This made the three Snake Lords lose their confidence.
Winter took out two silver-blue ice crystals and said, “Young Master, if you plan to let the Ancestral Contract Brahma Snake control two Snake Lords in a year, instead of letting these two Snake Lords enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone, why don’t you let the two Snake Lords enter my sealed ice crystal?
