Snakehead!
The person surprisingly had a snake’s head! Its eyes were lowered, as if they were not yet open, but this did not affect the terrifying aura it exuded.
It was a monster with a human body and a snake’s head!
Lu Fei had previously speculated that the figure before him might be a contracted beast, as it could control the berserk [Marching Ants]. However, it also understood human language, which forced Lu Fei to abandon this guess.
Brother Chicken had once said that this world was the only place where bidirectional communication between humans and contracted beasts was possible, so what kind of monster was this in front of him!
Before long, the figure appeared before Lu Fei. Lu Fei took just one close look at it and felt his soul scatter. Unable to stand steady, he fell to the ground.
The snake-headed, human-bodied monster spoke in a flat tone:
“Human, you need not be afraid. As long as you answer my questions to my satisfaction, I will not kill you.”
Following this, it took off the hat on its head, revealing its snake head. Lu Fei merely glanced at its slightly parted vertical pupils and felt as though he were about to be devoured, almost losing control of his bodily functions. He quickly closed his eyes, not daring to meet its gaze.
This feeling was all too familiar.
Lu Fei’s voice trembled.
“What are you… why can you speak human language?”
The snake-headed, human-bodied monster sneered dismissively.
“Human language? Heh, ridiculous.”
It gave Lu Fei no answer and said indifferently, “Tell me, why can you restore my corrupted contracted beasts to their senses?”
Lu Fei was stunned, his brow furrowing. What did it mean to restore corrupted contracted beasts to their senses? He had never done such a thing. He had killed many berserk contracted beasts; if his subordinates died, and the boss came out for revenge, it was a perfectly reasonable occurrence. But the other party said he restored berserk contracted beasts to their senses? This truly puzzled him.
Lu Fei was bewildered.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
The snake-headed, human-bodied monster did not seem angry, its tone remaining flat.
“Heh, it matters not. If you are unwilling to speak, I will find out myself.”
Lu Fei blinked, thinking, *Is it that accommodating? I don’t know, and you’ll just find out yourself?*
But soon, he understood what “find out myself” meant. The snake-headed, human-bodied monster extended an arm from its black robe. The arm was covered in fine scales, making one feel disgusted at first glance.
A faint greenish-blue gas emanated from the arm. Lu Fei knew it was nothing good and that once touched by it, he would likely be close to death.
Just then, a roar echoed.
“Wei!”
Ironhead suddenly broke free from the Beast Taming Scroll. It swung its sword at the snake-headed, human-bodied monster’s arm.
The broken sword met the arm.
However, this seemingly powerful sword strike had no effect. It would have splashed water if it had struck the surface, but it had no reaction when it hit the arm. The arm remained suspended in mid-air, showing no sign of retracting, allowing Tie Tou Wa’s broken sword to fall upon it.
Tie Tou Wa’s expression changed.
When it swung its sword just now, as its broken sword crossed the arm, it felt nothing, as if it had never made the swing.
It had not held back; it had even used its full strength!
Tie Tou Wa gritted its teeth and swung its broken sword again, imbued with lightning power.
However, the result was the same; it had no effect!
“Oh?” The snake-headed, human-bodied monster chirped, its gaze sweeping over Tie Tou Wa.
“A lightning-attribute sword guard? Interesting, very interesting. It would be quite entertaining to turn you into my slave.”
It opened its vertical pupils, and a faint green glow emanated from its eyes as it looked at Tie Tou Wa.
Tie Tou Wa met its gaze.
In an instant, Tie Tou Wa’s eyes widened to an almost impossible degree, and fine cold sweat seeped from its entire body. Its expression was one of extreme terror. It even dropped its beloved broken sword, cried out in fear, and shrunk behind Lu Fei, trembling uncontrollably! httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
“Tie Tou Wa!”
Lu Fei was dumbfounded. He knew that in Tie Tou Wa’s past performances, no matter what opponent it saw, it would rush forward and fight without question. But today?
Tie Tou Wa was actually afraid?
And this fear seemed to be ingrained in its very bones.
“Heh, don’t be anxious. I’ll corrupt you later.”
It continued to look at Lu Fei, extending its arm again.
Suddenly, a small white figure shot out from Lu Fei’s arm.
The small figure roared, “Back up a few steps, or I’ll kill it!”
“Brother Chicken!”
Lu Fei recognized the voice and exclaimed in surprise. Even in a life-or-death situation, seeing Brother Chicken always instilled a sense of security.
Brother Chicken had heard the conversation outside earlier. It had been quite scared, but now, if it didn’t come out, Lu Fei would truly be in trouble, so it bravely emerged.
At the same time, Brother Chicken held a hanger with a [Parasite Beast] tied to it. In its other hand, Brother Chicken held a cleaver to the throat of the [Parasite Beast], demonstrating towards the snake-headed, human-bodied monster.
The snake-headed, human-bodied monster narrowed its vertical pupils, clearly growing impatient.
But upon seeing the [Parasite Beast] tied to the hanger, it immediately became interested. Its vertical pupils scanned the [Parasite Beast], and after a moment, its expression became joyful, incredibly so.
It clapped its hands together and said:
“This is truly an interesting matter.”
“You have actually restored a corrupted contracted beast to its senses!”
Lu Fei was still somewhat bewildered. Brother Chicken shouted, “Restored to its senses? It didn’t want to be a berserk contracted beast itself; its eyes just stopped being red!”
Brother Chicken had guessed what the other party was referring to. It was likely questioning how Lu Fei had restored a berserk contracted beast to its senses, but Brother Chicken didn’t know why either. They had merely bitten each other, and then this contracted beast inexplicably became a little pitiful thing.
The snake-headed, human-bodied monster’s attention had been focused on the [Parasite Beast] on the hanger. At this moment, it was also drawn by Brother Chicken’s righteous words.
Its vertical pupils were like an endless sea of stars, gazing at Brother Chicken.
Brother Chicken felt it had the moral high ground and was not afraid, glaring at the other party.
The snake-headed, human-bodied monster was also stunned, its brow furrowing.
Its eyes suddenly widened, emitting a faint green glow!
Lu Fei quickly said, “Brother Chicken! Don’t look at its eyes!”
