Five Frozen Centuries - Chapter 323
Chapter 323: World Snake
Wei Huo was stunned when he saw the huge snake’s head. He finally understood why he was so familiar with its eyes. It was the gluttonous snake that had escaped from the game!
Wei Huo had played a game long ago on the snowy mountain. At first, there had been just a small snake in the game ‘Snake’. However, after breaking the game screen for the first time, it had grown into a devouring snake in ‘Real Game’. It had kept devouring and growing. In the end, it had swallowed the whole universe and rushed out of the game world.
However, Wei Huo did not know if it had arrived in reality. Now that he saw it, the gluttonous snake had broken through the barrier of the game world and arrived in this world!
Although Wei Huo did not know why the gluttonous snake had met the Atlanteans tens of thousands of years ago, he was sure that it had appeared in the real world. Wei Huo was too familiar with its eyes. He had even exchanged a glance with the devouring snake once.
In the game, he had controlled the giant snake and made it ram into the sun, planning to make it commit suicide. However, he had failed in the end. The gluttonous snake had devoured everything in the game and eventually swallowed Earth. Then, it had broken the game screen.
“The gluttonous snake really appeared.”
The golden armor said, “How is this a gluttonous snake? This is a gigantic python that can devour everything!”
The Prime Minister Black Dragon said in fear, “It’s the World Snake, Jörmungandr. It’s a super snake that can circle the Earth according to the myths!”
Xiao Liang made a judgment based on a professional point of view. He said, “Given the current size of Earth, if this snake is really big enough to circle Earth, its head must probably be smaller than a continent.”
However, the truth was as expected. The owner of the huge golden eyes collided with the fiery red array set up by the 357 Legendary creatures. The huge snake’s head was already one-third the size of the underwater continent.
The snake’s head collided violently with the array formation, and a loud sound was heard. The buildings at the bottom of the sea were shattered by the loud sound. Countless weak Atlanteans were killed by the sound as well. A few volcanoes were activated by the vibration and spewed hot magma.
That was the target that the Atlanteans had been planning to kill for thousands of years. That was the gluttonous snake that Wei Huo had released into reality. It seemed like it had appeared tens of thousands of years ago and started off as a small gluttonous snake again. It had then devoured everything and grown until this day.
Wei Huo had not recovered after the game screen had shattered. The game had also disappeared. Wei Huo was still holding a grudge over that incident, but nothing had happened after so many years. He was relieved.
Perhaps the game creator was messing with the players. As long as one cleared this level, the screen would shatter and scare one to death!
However, it seemed like there was no game in the world that would destroy the screen after being cleared. If there was really such a game, the person playing it would be a nouveau riche.
The gluttonous snake according to Wei Huo, the devouring python according to the golden armor, and the World Snake according to the Prime Minister Black Dragon finally encountered the 357 Legendary Atlanteans.
The first round ended in a draw. The snake’s head slammed into the array formation. The snake and the other Legendary Atlanteans were not injured, but countless ordinary Atlanteans were injured.
Wei Huo and the others were not idle either. They increased the speed at which they were collecting the Soul Refining Water. They traveled through various volcanoes, and there was some Soul Refining Water stored in almost every volcano. The Soul Refining Water was exchanged for the lives of countless ordinary Atlanteans. Given the situation in the underwater world, the prisoners’ demand was extremely high. Besides, many Atlanteans would break the law if they were not careful.
Even the most stringent places in the world were not as strict as this, right? If one took one more step without money or spoke more and breathed more air, one would be caught.
The problem was that one would suffocate if one did not breathe!
As Wei Huo and the others collected the Soul Refining Water, they saw mountains of dead Atlanteans pile up. It was akin to the abyss back in the deathly game, where countless Atlanteans had died.
During the process of collecting the Soul Refining Water, Wei Huo and the others learned about the situation of many seabed prisoners. Not all seabed prisoners had committed heinous crimes. So-called heinous crimes and unforgivable crimes were also decided by the law of the underwater world.
Many Atlanteans had been caught after traveling the entire underwater world without a single cent. Many Atlanteans had been caught because they had been avoiding pursuit for decades without any money. They had been caught because they had been breathing for free.
It was basically impossible for these people to be released after being imprisoned. Once their strength reached the Rare rank or even higher, they would basically be sent to this deathly game.
During the process of collecting the Soul Refining Water, they sometimes encountered one or two old prisoners who had been imprisoned for decades. After these prisoners were rescued by them, they said, “It was all because of that change thousands of years ago. At the beginning, we only had to pay for food and water. However, no one objected at the time. Later, we had to pay for sleeping and walking. Some people at the bottom of the sea thought that this would not work but did not object. Now, we even have to pay for breathing and looking at beautiful women.”
Upon hearing that, Xiao Liang could only sigh and say, “The ancients say that if one does not explode in silence, one will die in silence.”
Wei Huo said, “The ancients also said that most exterminated countries were courting death.”
Xiao Liang was confused.
Did the ancients say that?
Wei Huo and the others collected a large amount of Soul Refining Water and left the underwater world. In the meantime, the gluttonous snake had already fought with the 300-odd Legendary creatures at the bottom of the sea three times.
The gluttonous snake only used its head to hit the magic circle three times. However, the magic circle had already turned dim. A few Legendary creatures at the front were already severely injured.
The gluttonous snake was not injured at all. Most importantly, it had been testing them. It had yet to show any Rule Waves.
How could a Mythical creature be considered a Mythical creature without Rules?
In other words, the gluttonous snake had used up most of the magic circle’s energy with its own physical strength. If they really fought, how could the Legendary creature of the seabed withstand the Rule Power?
The current Legendary-level Atlanteans relied on this magic circle to resist the gluttonous snake’s Rules. However, the problem was that the gluttonous snake didn’t even use its Rules. It was about to break their formation.
Wei Huo and the others shook their heads when they saw this scene.
The golden armor said, “There’s no way to fight. The two of them are not on the same level. This is a true Mythical creature. It has lived for tens of thousands of years. Its knowledge, intelligence, and strength are above that of the Atlanteans.”
Wei Huo and the others had to agree. The gluttonous snake was too powerful. The Atlanteans did not even have a Mythical creature. What right did they have to say that they wanted to hunt Mythical creatures?
However, at that moment, the Atlantean’s array emitted a bright light. A red light appeared on the peak Legendary old man’s body. He might be using their ultimate move!
