What fell to the ground was the "hourglass of time". At this time, the part representing "night" was at the bottom, and an invisible wave swept across the entire Snake Lady Temple, the howling half-human snake, the ice kingdom that continued to spread, and Fu Sheng and his partner who were frozen outside the ruins of the temple. All things, all states, were reversing like a video tape.
First, the frost on Fusheng and Liu Ya's bodies began to retreat, then from their bodies back to the ground, then back to the wall, and finally retreated into the ruins of the temple.
Then the ice layer on Xing Luo's body began to recede, and the female knight lay down on the ground again. When she was completely on the ground, the severe frost that had previously wrapped around her had shrunk towards the center of the square like the tide receding.
Soon, the ice on Tianyang's body gradually retreated, and he regained his freedom and stepped back, and everything returned to three minutes ago.
The ice kingdom that had frozen the entire square disappeared, and the half-human snake continued to spew out streams of blood, with an expression of obvious surprise on its beautiful female face.
Perhaps it also felt the reversal of time, but didn't understand why it was so. However, this did not prevent it from releasing the "Ice Kingdom" for the second time. However, Tianyang, who had experienced it once, would not be unprepared.
Just as the centaur was about to howl, a series of maddening screams appeared directly in its head. This horrible sound was like a hot awl, stabbing into its soft brain, making it forget what it was doing for a moment, and just holding its head and howling.
It twisted wildly, its long tail swishing wildly, as if whipping an invisible enemy. In the process, it accidentally retreated into a shadow.
Tianyang immediately raised his hand, and while the centaur was affected by the 'Howling Copper Whistle', he suddenly clenched his fist in its direction.
The shadows around the centaur began to boil, and they turned into long black spears that instantly pierced through its body and lifted it off the ground. The centaur twisted more violently, but this only made the wound on its body deeper.
A moment later, all the spears began to burn, spewing out black flames, and merged into a dark pillar of fire, which washed over the body of the half-man snake like a countercurrent waterfall, drowning the monster.
The screams and wails of the half-human snake rang out in the black flames, and the fire continued to spew for nearly ten seconds before gradually disappearing. Tianyang discovered that after reaching level 6, the power of "Black Glory" increased, and the time between the activation and termination of the ability was greatly shortened.
At this moment, in the dissipating black flames, the half-human snake fell down. Its body had begun to die. Its scales gradually fell off, its flesh and blood rotted, and the death process on it was accelerated several times.
However, its vitality was indeed tenacious, and even after enduring the impact of the black flames of the "Black Glory", it did not die immediately. Moreover, from the back of its neck, there were glowing whiskers, which made the decaying parts of the centaur's body glow, and the death process immediately slowed down.
Tian Yang looked at the beard bands in amazement and exclaimed, "Is this a divine evil?"
"wrong."
"I'm not a monster."
"My name is Suna, I am a saint who serves the snake god..."
At this moment, human words came out of the half-human snake's mouth again.
Tianyang looked at the female face and saw a different look in her eyes, as if she was recalling the glorious past: "I used to be the favorite human of the snake god. It always fell asleep with my comfort, and it always responded to my
Please help us repel those invading evil gods..."
"But one day, a disaster occurred and we fell into the underground. In this dark world, my compatriots attacked each other in order to survive. They desperately looked for food and even ate the corpses of evil gods. They eventually turned into monsters..."
"Even the Snake God, even the Snake God is powerless to change this. It can only stay in this temple and protect me alone."
"I don't know how long I persisted in this dark world, until one day, I felt that I was going to die. But I didn't want to die, I wanted to live, and I wanted to find a way to save my compatriots."
"The snake god said it had a solution, but I had to be sacrificed to it. I accepted, and it gently rolled up my body and put it into its mouth."
"I thought I would disappear into the darkness, but no, I woke up again. I found that I had stronger and more incredible power. I became one with the Serpent God."
"So this is the method the snake god suggested. It allowed me to be reborn. It gave me the power to survive in this dark world. It gave me the opportunity to find hope."
The half-human snake who called herself "Suna" had cloudy tears in her eyes: "In countless days and nights, I desperately searched for all possible ways to save everyone, but I couldn't find it, I couldn't find it."
"I could only bind them underground and prevent them from leaving, so as not to harm the creatures on the ground. I forgot how many years I persisted, one hundred years, two hundred years, or three hundred years..."
"But I can't hold on any longer. I haven't eaten for a long time. I know I'm going to die soon. When I die, the snake god will be reborn in some way, but I will never have the chance to save my compatriots."
"So, I have to survive, I have to survive..."
Tian Yang said in a deep voice: "So you spread the 'loss of vitality', you are absorbing the vitality of other people and using them to maintain your own life?"
"yes."
The woman showed a helpless smile on her face: "I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. If I don't do this, I will die. And after I die, my compatriots will leave the underground, and they will bring disaster to the surface."
"In fact, they have already done so. I have persisted for a few days and I can no longer control them. They have begun to leave the underground and head for the surface. Soon, a new disaster will come to the ground."
Tian Yang suddenly had an idea, and he finally understood why the monsters that were originally wandering in the depths of the ancient city appeared at the edge, and why he did not encounter any of the monsters that should have appeared in the central area.
It turns out that they are already "migrating", from underground to the surface!
"If you can survive, you can bind them again. You just said I smell good, it's the aroma of food. Could it be that human flesh and blood can keep you alive?"
Su Na shook her head gently: "I don't know. I was so hungry that I lost my mind. I just thought you had what I needed. But I haven't eaten since I became like this, so I'm not sure."
"Then let's try it first. We can use the process of elimination, but we have to be quick." Tianyang walked over and came to the huge face of the centaur. "Open your mouth."
Su Na opened her mouth as she was told. Tian Yang used his long sword to slash his fingers back and forth several times before cutting his skin and letting blood flow out of the wound.
Bleeding beads.
He dripped the blood into Suna's mouth and was wary of the other party's sudden ferocity, but the centaur seemed to have regained its senses and did not take action.
After absorbing a few drops of Tianyang's blood, the half-human snake shook its head: "No, it's not your blood. So this is the taste of blood, it's so disgusting."
"Isn't it human flesh and blood?"
Tianyang frowned. If it wasn't this, then what was the fragrance it smelled
"wait."
Tianyang took off his armor, clothes, weapons, and relics one by one, and put them on the ground: "Can you still move? Smell it and see if the fragrance comes from these things."
The centaur reluctantly turned over, closed his eyes, and moved in front of all these things, sniffing them one by one.
When it came near the 'Howling Bronze Whistle', the half-man snake suddenly opened its eyes, and its pupils suddenly shrank into a line, like a snake's eyes.
“That’s it!”
“Let me eat it!”
It seemed to lose control again, and opened its mouth to bite the 'Howling Copper Whistle', but Tianyang was prepared. As soon as Su Na moved, a silver fireball exploded on her face, and the impact of the Xingyun bullet caused it to fall to the side, which was already quite weak.
After being hit, the pupils of the half-human snake changed shape again, and it turned to look at Tianyang: "I'm sorry, I'm really too hungry. Strange, what is this thing, and why am I interested in it."
“This is a gap item.”
Tianyang picked up the 'Howling Copper Whistle' and looked at Suna again: "You are actually interested in the items in the gaps. No, this should be the instinct of the evil god."
"The evil gods are created from the cells of alien gods, and alien gods come from tombs, so the evil gods instinctively get close to objects in cracks. And they can extract power that is beneficial to themselves from them?"
He looked at the half-man snake again: "I can give it to you, and even later, I can provide similar 'food'. In this way, you can continue to survive, but you must serve me, what do you think?"
The half-man snake barely propped himself up: "As long as you let me live and don't interfere with my efforts to save my compatriots, I can listen to you in everything else."
"I won't interfere with you, but you must promise that saving your compatriots does not include attacking humans on the ground, does not continue to spread the 'loss of essence', and immediately release your control over those patients."
Sona nodded vigorously: "I promise you, if I can still survive, I don't have to do that at all."
"Then it's yours."
Tianyang threw the "Howling Copper Whistle" at the centaur. Suna immediately opened her mouth, spit out her snake tongue, and rolled up the copper whistle in it and swallowed it directly.
Tianyang has used the 'Howling Copper Whistle' many times, and now he has felt that the negative effects of this relic are increasing. Even if he keeps it, he can't use it many times, so it's better to feed it directly to the creature in front of him.
At this time, Suna closed her eyes, and there were strands of red light flowing on her body. The red light was very faint, but Tianyang still recognized it.
Sure enough, Suna was able to extract the "source" from the objects in the cracks, which was very similar to the Obsidian Furnace. After obtaining the "source" in the copper whistle, the rotten wounds of the centaur began to grow flesh and blood again, the fallen scales regenerated, and even the wings on its back that were almost lost began to grow new feathers.
It's been reborn!
