Episode 18 – The Elder Gods Chapter 24 – Lucky? Bad Luck?

“Hurry!” Linley’s expression was hideous as he even drank sharply.

When the others heard this urgent chorus from Linley, they didn’t dare delay to ask what had happened. One by one, together with Linley, they flew towards the front at breakneck speeds.

“Surprisingly so many green snakes, what the hell is going on?” As Linley flew away, his mind was also rapidly thinking, “And when I entered the Gray Mist Area before, I didn’t find a single green snake anywhere else. But here, so many were found! This green snake, how is it hidden and integrated into the green leaves, how is it that there is not a single energy change?”

God-level powerhouses were also able to perform earthbound techniques, fire body techniques, and so on, ways to transform their bodies into energy. However, this kind of change would definitely cause energy changes, and could not be done as silently as the green snake. It couldn’t even be detected from the side.

Linley felt that the situation was bizarre!

But at this moment, there was no time for him to think carefully.

“It should be about time, that green snake won’t be coming after us anymore.” Bebe’s soul transmitted a voice. “Go on, hurry up.” Linley, however, didn’t hesitate a bit.

Just as Linley’s group of four ran away, a steep —-

“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!”

In an instant, dozens of green phantoms took to the air, almost all of them scurrying from the side and back, with only a handful of three green phantoms scurrying from the front. The speed of the green snake scurrying is extremely amazing …… just like a green arrow of light, instantly penetrating the sky. There were too many of these green snakes!

Linley’s and their faces suddenly changed drastically. “Buzz the black stone space expanded violently.

Five meters in diameter, expanding to fifteen meters in diameter.

One of the green snakes that had penetrated into the black stone space sharply decreased in speed. But it still scurried towards Linley and the four of them. Strangely enough …… none of these dozens of green snakes even attacked Bebe, but instead attacked Linley, Bulong, and Valiant. Each of them suffered from the siege of nearly ten green snakes.

Linley’s gaze chilled, and at once, “Snip snip snip formed a wall of earth around them.

“Ka-ching!” The green snakes, however, easily penetrated the earth wall.

The Staying Shadow divine Sword in Linley’s hand instantly transformed into a gust of wind. Like countless sword shadows slashing at the green snakes one after another, having fought with green snakes, Linley knew …… that in order to kill a green snake, the green snake’s head had to be pulverized to the ground. But the green snake was too flexible. Their heads were too small, so it was difficult to decapitate and pulverize their heads!

A green snake’s speed was greatly affected in the black stone space.

“Snorting countless sword shadows like a meat grinder, instantly strangling through that one green snake.

Within the black stone space, the green snakes’ speed was limited, and only relatively speaking. After all, originally their speed was too exaggerated …… that less than ten meter distance, they still struggled to penetrate past Linley’s ground sword shadows. In an instant. Six of the nine green snakes that had attacked Linley had their heads shattered. They instantly fell to the ground.

As for the other three green snakes, although they were also injured. But they still scurried towards Linley.

“Brush!” Linley’s dragon tail flashed, directly smashing two green snakes.

The remaining green snake —- was slapped to death just as it bit into Linley’s ground!

“The two of them ……,” Linley turned his head to look.

That purple-haired youth, Bulong, was limited in speed by those green snakes. It was surprisingly easy to cope. The purple-haired youth, Bu Long, first relied on that demonic longsword to decapitate five green snakes, after which his body was directly surrounded by a lightning mist that was like a cloud.

Those green snakes whose speed was already limited, as soon as they entered the thunder and lightning fog, their speed was even further reduced.

The purple-haired youth naturally had an easy time, killing the remaining few green snakes.

“Valiant ……,” Linley frowned.

As a death rule cultivation powerhouse, Valiant had also resolved some green snakes. However, there was still a green snake that bit through Valiant’s hand and scurried into Valiant’s body.

“Is he alright?” Bebe and the purple-haired youth Bulong also looked over.

Valiant stood still, not moving a muscle.

For a moment —-

“Everyone. I’m fine, let’s continue on.” Valiant opened his mouth and smiled, only his face was a bit pale.

“How is this green snake entering the body?” Bebe inquired.

Valiant nodded, “After this green serpent entered my body, I immediately became anxious and attacked it even as I exerted my divine power and soul power together!” Linley also secretly laughed, if that green snake had entered his body. I’m afraid that he himself would have been so anxious that he would have exerted all of his means as well.

“But who would have thought …… that this green snake would turn into a green energy. It was extremely fast. It directly scurried towards my head. But …… that green snake kept getting weaker under the attack of my soul force. I was also desperate. It was only with great difficulty that I was able to completely eliminate that green energy!” Valiant said afterward.

Linley nodded secretly.

“This green serpent, under the attack of soulforce, keeps getting weaker!” Linley somewhat understood that the green energy that made up the green snake should be energy similar to soulforce.

“Alright, now everyone needs to be more careful!” Linley said, “What I can do to help you guys can only go so far. Whether or not you can get out alive depends on yourselves.” Linley had kept the black stone space present, and having this black stone space present …… had also caused the pressure on the duo of Bulong and Valiant to be greatly reduced.

Otherwise, in that situation just now, the two of them would have died long ago.

“Linley, thanks.” The two of them, Valiant and Bulong, were still somewhat grateful, after all, at this moment, Linley could have thrown them away.

“Continue on.” Linley said.

When Linley left his spot for a moment, a big, burly man with short brown hair yao appeared here, his gaze as cold as the deep sea. He carefully probed the place for a moment.

“So many green snakes ……” This burly big man’s eyes gradually brightened up, “After so many years, I’ve almost forgotten the existence of time, finally waiting for this day!” This burly big man’s body trembled with excitement, then carefully surveyed his surroundings, seemingly sensing the energy fluctuations in front of him, even trailing towards the front.

Linley didn’t expect that after just experiencing a situation where a large number of green snakes surrounded him, after only advancing for a moment, he would once again be surrounded by green snakes. And …… this time, the scale of the green snake siege was significantly larger than the last time. There are more than a hundred green snakes.

And just like last time —-

The green snakes didn’t attack Bebe, they only attacked the three of them, Linley, Valiant, and the purple-haired youth, Bulong.

“Snort.

A large group of green snakes attacked Linley in midair. The madness was extreme.

“Boss!” Bebe also scurried over to help Linley.

“This green snake is crazy!” Linley’s shadow-retaining divine sword shifted in his hands, and in an instant, billions of phantoms appeared in front of Linley, and those green snakes were all twisted into mush under the shadow-retaining divine sword. They were all twisted into mush. There were nearly fifty green snakes, but only one of them broke through the Shadow Retaining Sword’s barrier.

This one was still caught by Bebe.

“Hehe, boss, this sword of yours, it’s a lot faster than just now, huh?” Bebe said in surprise.

Linley smiled bashfully, “Because, this time. I’m using the wind elemental law!”

Linley also sighed, after so many years. Because the degree of comprehension of the Earth Laws exceeded the Wind Elemental Laws. So Linley had almost always used the Earth Laws …… It was almost forming inertia. But just now, when he was defending against a large number of green snakes, Linley reacted! His own strong earthly body combined with the sharpness of his godly weapons, this attack was enough to decimate the green snakes.

If one utilized the laws of the earth, it just made the attack even stronger! It even caused space to tear apart!

But against the green snake. Dragonized body power combined with the Shadow Retaining Divine Sword was already enough! Any more attack power would be a waste.

Casting the Law of the Earth, the attack power was stronger, however, the speed hadn’t improved much.

With the Wind Elemental Law, Linley’s Shadow Leaving Divine Sword didn’t have much of an increase in power with each stroke. However, the speed of the sword has soared a thousand times …… Even though the number of green snakes is much greater, they have almost all been twisted into sludge.

“Only, this wind elemental law cultivation is too slow. Nearly two thousand years have passed. It’s also just so that the Speed Upanishad and the Wind Space Arcana, faintly fit together.” Linley sighed darkly, the Wind Elemental Laws had nine major arcana, and the Speed Arcana was still a fusion of the two major arcana of speed and slowness when he was in the Yulan Continent.

Speed arcana, and wind space arcana. Essentially closer. Linley was barely compatible with it.

But it was still far from fusion.

“However, exercising the Wind Elemental Laws. Against group attacks, it’s much better.” Linley let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

There were specialties in the arts, and earth attacks were strong, but against green snake group attacks, it was obviously a bit of a problem.

However, this method was only suitable for Linley!

Because individual green snakes still had strong defenses, it was still difficult to kill them. Sufficient attack power was required! Such as Bu Long and Valiant, how could they be like Linley, relying on their bodies and weapons alone, with enough attack power to kill the green snakes.

“The two of them ……” Linley looked over.

The purple-haired youths, Boulon and Valiant, were both standing in place.

“Valiant is dead.” Bebe said helplessly.

In the moment of danger just now, Linley could only look out for himself, so of course Bebe helped Linley. Valiant and Bulong could only rely on themselves.

“Whew!” Bulong opened his eyes, his forehead still covered in cold sweat.

“Valiant he’s dead?” The purple-haired youth Bulong was stunned.

“En.” Linley nodded.

Bu Long looked towards Linley with a complicated expression, “Linley, where do you think we should go now? I always feel like the situation isn’t right, the first time we suffered dozens of green snakes attacking us, this time it’s even more than a hundred. I’m worried …… that there will be more next time!” Bulong was not confident anymore either.

Because just now, there was a green snake that entered his body. Luckily, Bu Long was also strong in terms of his soul, and he destroyed that green snake with difficulty.

“Where should we go?” Linley looked around.

The surroundings were filled with hazy gray mist, low trees, and messy vegetation. For a moment, Linley didn’t know where to go.

“Straight ahead.” A voice rang out abruptly.

Linley, Bebe, and Bulong immediately turned their heads to look. Only to see a burly man with short brown hair suddenly soar over. This short brown-haired burly man glanced at Linley, and Linley’s dragonized form as well as the aura he exuded caused this short brown-haired burly man to, uncontrollably, frown slightly.

“Bu Long!” This burly man turned his head to look at Bu Long, his face filled with a smile.

The purple-haired youth, Bu Long, looked at this burly man and froze.

“Brother —-,” Bu Long shouted incredulously.

The burly man burst into laughter.

“You, you’re still alive, brother, you’re still alive?” Bu Long’s originally cold face was filled with excitement, and even his tears couldn’t help but flow down. How could Bu Long not forget …… the days when he had been following his brother to break through in the underworld, following his brother, his brother was his ground to rely on!

He was never afraid because of his brother!

But when he reached the day of the upper god land, his brother went to the Underworld Mountain! However …… this time has passed for an unknown number of billions of years. Bulong couldn’t even remember when that was. He originally thought that his brother had died long ago. However —-

“Haha.” This burly man laughed and immediately walked over and embraced Bu Long.

Indifferent Bu Long, at this moment, like a child, hugged the strong man tightly, “Brother, you didn’t die, it’s too good, too good!”

“Brother, let me introduce you. These two are from the land of hell, his name is Linley, and the other one is called Bebe. In this Gray Mist Area, it’s also because of Mr. Linley that I managed to save my life.” Bulong said.

The burly man glanced at Linley in amazement and spoke, “Mr. Linley, my name is Burleigh Ray, thank you for taking care of my brother.”

Linley nodded.

“Bulong, follow me.” This Buralei was instead grabbing Boulon, to continue on.

“Brother?” Bu Long was however looking at him in confusion.

Burleray glanced at Linley and the others and laughed brightly, “You’re considered to be kind to my brother, so I’ll also tell you …… that in the Gray Mist Region, under normal circumstances there wouldn’t be a widespread appearance of green snakes. And this kind of situation, in countless years ago, the first time I came here, I ran into it once. And that time …… the Spectral Fruit appeared in the Gray Mist Area. However, that time the Spectral Fruit was obtained by someone else. According to my estimation, this time, with so many green snakes, I reckon that the Psi Fruit, should appear again. You’ve been kind to my brother, so I’ll give you this chance. This Underworld Fruit, whoever gets it is who’s!”

“The green snakes are besieging you guys because you are in the right place. If my prediction is good, there should be a Spectral Fruit about a thousand meters away in front of you!” Borel Ray said.

Bulong was stunned.

“Brother —-” He wasn’t surprised by the Psionic Fruit, he was puzzled that his brother would tell this secret to Linley and the two of them.

“Let’s go, this will be considered repaying you for your favor.” Burleigh Lei immediately took large strides towards the front, “But you guys ran into the appearance of the Underworld Fruit, so I don’t know if you’re lucky or unlucky. Wanting to go and get the Underworld Fruit …… can have the preparation of losing your lives.”

Linley glanced at Boreal Ray’s back with interest.

“Bebe, do you say go?” Linley said with a faint smile. Originally, Linley hadn’t planned on going to get the Underworld Fruit, after all, the probability was too low. But …… it all appeared now.

“Of course I’ll go and take a look.” Bebe laughed.

Linley and Bebe didn’t hesitate and even followed.
