Chapter 68 Lava and Immortality

"The person who spread this story is Anfeis, right?" Ximu seemed to have expected it. He looked at the surprised Naris and said:

"That man only likes happy endings. Even if the ending of the whole story is tragic, he will only cut out a beautiful story and tell it."

He analyzed with a smile.

"Since that man would tell me that I was infected with the Fire of Surtur, it... can only mean that he divined my future."

"Otherwise it wouldn't be consistent with his storytelling style."

Naris thought for a while, nodded and said, "That seems to make sense."

There are many powerful bards in this world, and they have different perspectives on the world and different ways of telling the world.

As for Anpheus, a well-known troubadour, all the stories told, no matter how tortuous the process, must be happy at the end.

It can make people face the world more optimistically.

Suffering will eventually pass, this is the characteristic of Amphis' story telling by the famous bard, and Amphis has always tried to make the world a better place.

"Discuss when I might die." Ximu took the initiative to change the topic and asked Naris with a gentle smile.

"Is there anyone worth noting among the adventurers who went to defeat the Undead Serpent this time?"

The NPCs that fight against the undead serpent in this game are not fixed. Except for a few that are predictable, the refresh of other NPCs is a bit irregular.

Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the information of NPCs participating in the battle in advance.

And Nalis happens to... no, to be more precise, she is responsible for this aspect, and will pay attention to every NPC worthy of attention.

This is why Nalis was the first to notice his existence.

"By the way, this is why I came to see Lord Akhtar this time!" Naris quickly took out an atlas, moved her chair and sat next to Ximu.

She opened the album and pointed at the aloof woman with long black hair on the first page. She saw a nearly two-meter long knife hanging on her waist, wearing hot shorts, and her upper body was wrapped in a bandage. The temperament is awe-inspiring and also reveals danger.

"Kulita, she is good at using long swords. Her ability seems to be the perception of malice. She is very good at predicting and... resisting sneak attacks. With her good sword skills, she has become a well-known figure in the mercenary world."

Xi Mu nodded and made no comment.

He knew this female swordsman from Kulitar. She was really good, but her ability was not malicious perception, but enhanced intuition.

A very difficult woman to kill.

"Then there is the one-armed swordsman Pros, who seems to be a wanderer." Naris turned another page and said to Ximu.

"He is the man who came to Gear City with you. He recently had a conflict with someone in Gear City and showed considerable strength, so he is also listed as a target of attention."

She thought about it.

"This man's ability seems to be related to cutting. With a low-quality sword, he can also cut through reinforced armor."

Ximu laughed, "What a surprise."

The one-armed swordsman Pross who entered the Gear City with him is an out-and-out idealist. Although he talks about wanting to get ahead, what he wants deep down in his heart is to change the world for the better and make himself better. The ghetto of birth...no more abandoned children.

However, the more noble a person's ideals are, the easier it is to be tainted by reality. This man will despair at the end of his ideals, and then become a follower of the flame giant Surtur.

An idealist who once wanted to make the world a better place.

Dramatically transformed into a madman who wants to burn the world down.

"Then there is this nun." Nalis turned another page and pointed to the beautiful blindfolded nun in the album. "She is a stowaway, but she showed great strength, so we issued a temporary license. resident permit."

She introduced it this way.

"There were some drunk mercenaries who molested this nun, but they all died in mysterious ways and their attack methods were very strange."

"It's better not to provoke her." Ximu reminded her kindly, and Naris nodded seriously, deeply agreeing with Ximu's reminder.

When she saw the blindfolded nun's dress and temperament, she felt that this blindfolded nun was not a normal person and must be a very difficult guy.

Except for those who are dominated by the lower body and dare to tease the blindfolded nun, I am afraid that normal people would not dare to provoke the hostility of the blindfolded nun.

"Then, there is the last person worthy of attention." Nalis turned another page and pointed to the priest on the page.

"Mari, he is a fanatical believer in the God of War. His ability is skin toughening, which can greatly improve the skin's ability to resist blows."

She sighed.

"As long as there is a war, this group of believers of the God of War will appear, just like the death birds."

"But we have to admit their assistance to the army, right?" Ximu said with a smile. In this game setting, the God of War is a more difficult boss character, and his ability is to strengthen the enemy and ourselves.

The so-called strengthening of the enemy and ourselves is to copy the power of all the objects with good intentions on "our side" to ourselves one by one.

The same goes for the "enemy". Anyone who is hostile to the God of War will also be replicated with a one-to-one force.

Of course, this will only reproduce the power, not the ability.

But even so, it is very terrifying. This ability to strengthen enemies and allies is not limited to a specific number. As long as it is within the observation range of the God of War, this ability to strengthen enemies and allies can be successfully activated.

And this ability mechanism can also be weakened to believers of the God of War, which becomes the so-called "military strengthening" prayer, which can greatly enhance the strength of our personnel.

"If it is to defeat the immortal serpent, the followers of the God of War...maybe really indispensable." Naris sighed, recognizing the value of the followers of the God of War.

However, I still don't like the believers of the God of War. After all, they are suspected of deliberately provoking war.

They claim that war is the ultimate solution to all conflicts, but in reality they continue to provoke conflicts and the conflicts have never been resolved.

They are clearly a group of perverts who want to satisfy their desire for war.

"Is there anyone else worth noting?" Ximu asked again, and Naris also restrained her dissatisfied expression upon hearing this, and began to patiently tell Ximu about adventurers worth paying attention to.

There are not many noteworthy guys in the follow-up. Most people have not even awakened their abilities, and even if they have abilities, they are basically useless.

The situation is almost confirmed.

……

...

The next day.

The crusade against the undead serpent has officially begun.

Xi Mu rode the little mare out of the dark cave and looked at the cave ahead. The white mist filled every space, making it difficult to identify the direction.

He did not come in with the main army.

After all, the large army will attract the undead serpent first, which will cause him to miss an assassination opportunity.

The Immortal Orochi is not really immortal, but it does have five hearts. As long as all the hearts are not destroyed at once, the Immortal Orochi can quickly repair the damaged hearts, thus giving people the illusion of immortality.

After all, the size of the immortal snake is too exaggerated, and it is difficult for ordinary people to attack the five hearts of the immortal snake at the same time.

And right now. "Ahhhhh!!!" The scream suddenly broke the silence, thunder suddenly erupted in the distance, and then... the cave began to tremble.

A vague and huge snake shadow began to move in the fog, and the fog was blown away as the snake shadow moved.

So Ximu saw it.

A big snake that seemed to be moving a mountain, with his moving snake body, crushed a large number of corpses that had no time to escape.

Blood stained the ground red.

The adventurers who reacted did not cause effective damage to the undead snake. Even if they could break the scales of the undead snake, they would heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn it... why is it such a monster!" A heavily armed adventurer threw away the weapon in his hand and ran away in the direction he came from.

The moment he saw the immortal snake, he lost the courage he was proud of. He tried his best to split the scales, and the immortal snake healed in an instant.

How to fight this monster.

"There's no way we can win!" He subconsciously turned around and looked around, only to see a red snake mouth with two sharp fangs coming towards him.

"Ahhh... don't come here!" He stumbled, and the man's eyes widened in horror, watching as he was swallowed into the snake's mouth.

Consciousness also stopped abruptly at this moment.

"Partner, let's go." Ximu looked at this scene, touched the young mare's neck, and then took out the spear that penetrated the immortal.

Eight feet stepped on the ground and shot out like lightning.

While the immortal snake was eating, Ximu tightened his grip on the spear that penetrated the immortal snake and aimed at the heart of the immortal snake.

Stab down.

Before it even got close, the spear tip condensed by the wind came out, like a spiral turning, directly piercing the scales and flesh of the undead snake.

Pierced front and back.

"Ho ho ho ho!!!" The roar echoed throughout the world, and the undead snake twisted its body crazily, as if it were a whip, lashing everything around it irregularly.

Hot blood spurts out from the wound, burning the ground into hot magma the moment it hits the ground. Occasionally, the unlucky ones are splashed with the blood of the undead serpent, and are directly burned to ashes, and die on the spot.

Ximu, on the other hand, rode a little mare and took shelter on the edge of the cave for the time being. The now crazy undead snake... was difficult to attack. When the undead snake regained its senses, it could master the rules of attack.

Of course, this is based on his understanding of the attack rhythm of the boss, the Immortal Orochi, otherwise the best option would be to take the risk and rush in for a last-ditch hit.

After a while.

The immortal snake seemed to have recovered, and his pierced snake body also healed, but the pierced heart in his body did not recover.

Five hearts, one is permanently missing.

The spear that penetrates the immortal has the effect of penetrating the heart. Even if it is protected by a hard carapace, as long as the direction of the spear is pointing toward the heart, it will have extremely strong penetrating power.

And the pierced heart cannot be healed.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the spear that penetrates the immortal can be used well enough, most lives can be killed.

After all, normal life only has one heart. As long as you find the right time to use the spear that penetrates the immortal, you can decide the outcome with one blow.

"Ah~ it's a familiar smell." The undead snake actually spoke, and its violent eyes looked at Ximu.

"You are the human chosen by Sleipnir...right?"

"Partner, is he your friend?" Ximu seemed a little surprised, and the tip of the gun aimed at the undead snake was slightly lowered.

In response, the little mare shook her head vigorously. She and the immortal snake were not so-called friends.

On the contrary, both sides have the desire to devour each other.

Before the death of the Monster Witch, all the monsters created...had the possibility of becoming the strongest monster, Typhon.

But the premise is that you have to eat enough monsters.

"Then kill him, and I don't have to feel guilty!" Ximu's smile turned evil, and when the immortal snake saw this scene, he let out an extremely angry roar.

"Roar!" The sound echoed throughout the world, and the strong shock wave swept away in all directions like a hurricane.

The one that followed immediately whipped the snake's tail, and the air turned translucent under the whipping of the tail.

"Boom!" The ground was overturned, and smoke and dust flooded the cave. Anyone who faced this tail would end up turning into flesh.

There is no possibility...

That's how it should be.

"Tick tock!" The hot snake blood dripped to the ground and dissolved it into hot magma. The undead snake looked at its tail and saw a large eye-catching hole running through it.

He had another heart...pierced.

Why did that human seem to be able to predict his actions, and the moment he pulled out his tail, he was ready to lock his heart and use a spear to pierce it.

Is it an astrologer or just a coincidence.

No matter what, he needs to pay attention, otherwise he will really die after being penetrated through five hearts.

The snake body like a mountain began to coil up, protecting the heart in the innermost layer. As long as the human dared to get close, he would be crushed into pulp by his snake body.

Subsequently.

The undead snake opened its mouth and bit into the direction of Ximu. It fell rapidly like a tall building. The ground suddenly trembled as if there was an earthquake, leaving a crater-like hole on the ground.

Ximu, on the other hand, rode the little mare to avoid it and surrounded the undead snake, looking for a chance to penetrate the heart.

With his current magic power, he can only use the spear that penetrates the immortal nine times, if he does not pierce the heart of the immortal serpent within nine times.

Then this crusade can be declared a failure.

One avoidance.

One bite.

"Boom boom boom!!!" Shekou followed closely, biting Ximu continuously, and even the ground was deformed by the impact.

Then came the collapse.

The entire cave collapsed at this moment, falling deeper into the ground. A huge amount of stones, together with the snake's body, fell into a lava lake.

Ximu stood in mid-air riding a little mare, looking at the magma lake below and observing the place where the undead snake might appear.

Then he saw an extremely huge bloody sword emerging from the lava, and then a face with closed eyes emerged from the lava lake.

That was the face of a man. He slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Ximu.
