Chapter 338

When Ang's Dragon God transformation time extended because he touched this egg, everyone thought it was a Dragon God egg.

But everyone forgot one point: what can stimulate potential, besides parents' sticks, is natural enemies.

The moment a girl's potential explodes the most must be when a mouse or cockroach flies at her. Natural enemies are often more effective than parents' sticks.

And inside this egg was the natural enemy of the dragon race.

"Natural enemy? Sa E Liu Si?!" Nai Ge Li Si's scales stood up in excitement.

He was already a corpse dragon, and a soul projection at that, but he still had a stress reaction when thinking of this name. One can imagine how much of a deterrent this name had on him.

This name had a deterrent effect on all dragon clans; it was the fear of natural enemies engraved in their bloodlines. However, none of the current dragons had ever seen Sa E Liu Si.

It's like how all dragons know how to transform into the Dragon God, but none can successfully transform, whereas a vegetable-growing skeleton succeeded by relying on the druid transformation. It's simply unreasonable.

The legendary Sa E Liu Si was a huge snake that could swallow a plane in one bite. What it liked most was dragon eggs, one bite at a time, one bite at a time...

From this, one can see the absurdity of the legend. How could a giant snake that could swallow a plane in one bite eat dragon eggs one bite at a time? Even if all the dragons were tied together, it wouldn't be enough for one bite.

Therefore, Nai Ge Li Si inferred based on the logic of knowledge that this legend was nonsense. It was very likely created by the Dragon God to scare dragons and make future generations vigilant.

If it were just a giant snake, then it wouldn't be the natural enemy of dragons, as that thing wouldn't specifically target dragons.

Besides the giant snake body, Sa E Liu Si had a second form—the Snake of Misfortune, a form composed of blood mist. Legend has it that as long as a dragon sees the Snake of Misfortune, it will be infected, leading to bloodline degradation, and then give birth to a snake.

Can you understand the feeling of giving birth to a dragon egg, patiently incubating it for five hundred years, and finally having a snake crawl out of the egg?

Not only was five hundred years of hard work wasted, but you wouldn't know how to face it, because this snake didn't know it was a snake. It thought it was a dragon, a descendant of its parents, a proud dragon. It would only wonder why it didn't look like its parents.

This is simply an ethical tragedy. Those who are hard-hearted kill it directly, while those who are soft-hearted can only endure the strange looks of their kind and grit their teeth to raise it. After all, they had already cultivated five hundred years of affection in the egg.

This is the natural enemy of the dragon race, Sa E Liu Si, the Snake of Misfortune.

Ang transformed into the Dragon God, smashed a fist onto the egg, and then space solidified. Immediately after, fiery cracks appeared on the egg. Ang pressed exploding fireballs into the egg at a speed of thirteen per second.

The entire egg was covered in fiery cracks. The Dragon God transformation still had time, so Ang continued to pile up purification spells around the egg at a speed of thirteen per second. In this way, the egg would be purified instantly while being burned.

Ang treated it so cautiously, but Nai Ge Li Si didn't think it was excessive at all, because the name Sa E Liu Si was too terrifying for dragons. Things like "you'll be infected if you see it" were simply incredible to the extreme.

This statement was too absurd, but for the sake of caution, Nai Ge Li Si closed his eyes and didn't look.

The space solidification time was up, and all the exploding fireballs pressed into the egg erupted instantly, accompanied by dazzling holy light.

Those nearby only saw endless light. From a distance, one could see fire and light erupting forward together, instantly annihilating everything in front of them with a 'poof'.

The egg disappeared completely, not even producing smoke.

Nai Ge Li Si opened his eyes, not daring to look at Ang's position, but looked at Anthony and asked anxiously: "How is it? How is it? Was it destroyed?"

"Destroyed, not even slag left," Anthony said in shock.

Only then did Nai Ge Li Si dare to turn his head and look. He saw that the space in front of Ang was empty. There was no stone egg, no blood mist, and even a large piece of the ground was gone, revealing a cone-shaped deep trench, from which heat and the smell of purified holy light emerged.

"It really is not even slag left. Ang, you're amazing," Nai Ge Li Si praised loudly.

Who knew Ang shook his head and stared at the empty space in front of him.

"What do you mean? Why are you shaking your head?" Nai Ge Li Si's heart skipped a beat.

Ang finally reacted. Everyone couldn't see the things in front of him, so he quickly moved his mind and shared what he was seeing at the moment with everyone through soul connection.

Only those who had a soul connection with him could see the situation he was sharing at the moment. He saw that in the empty space in front of Ang, a strip-like object composed of soul flames was twisting, just like a snake.

"Snake... Snake of Misfortune!" Nai Ge Li Si shouted in panic: "I understand, I understand. Why you get polluted just by looking at it. It turns out the Snake of Misfortune is a power at the level of belief, the natural enemy of the dragon race, another god. I'm done for, I saw it, I've been polluted!"

The twisting Snake of Misfortune seemed to hear Nai Ge Li Si's voice, suddenly froze, and one end aimed at Nai Ge Li Si.

The Snake of Misfortune looked like just a strip, with no facial features or eyes, but when one end aimed at Nai Ge Li Si, it gave him the feeling of being stared at.

The next moment, the Snake of Misfortune lunged forward.

The Snake of Misfortune was composed of the power of belief and had no physical form. Its speed was very fast. Nai Ge Li Si's eyes blurred, and the Snake of Misfortune was already in front of him.

Almost the moment it touched Nai Ge Li Si, the Snake of Misfortune suddenly tightened and stopped.

Its form radiated a feeling of confusion. The front end twisted back to look, only to see Ang's large hand grabbing its other end, its form pulled straight.

The Snake of Misfortune radiated a strong feeling of confusion, as if wondering why Ang could grab it; it was the power of belief.

Faith elemental power, soul energy, soul flames, and the power of belief are almost the same thing. They are all powers at the level of belief and are intangible in essence. If you are not a god, you can't even see them, let alone grab them with your bare hands.

But it didn't matter. It was intangible anyway. What's the use of grabbing one end?

The form of the Snake of Misfortune suddenly elongated and wrapped around Nai Ge Li Si. Almost at the same time, everyone present heard a voice at the soul level:

"Sweet young dragon, I like it best. Pair it with fear; it can make the sweetness more layered... Ah, ptooey! Dead?"

The reputation of the Snake of Misfortune scared Nai Ge Li Si to death. His whole mind was filled with "It's over, it's over, I've been polluted, my child with Nai Aili is going to turn into a snake," until the Snake of Misfortune's "ptooey" woke him up.

"Oh right, I'm dead? I can't have children! Great, great, you scared me to death." Nai Ge Li Si quickly sobered up and looked towards the Snake of Misfortune.

He saw the front end of the Snake of Misfortune twisting wildly, as if it had bitten into poop, and its entire form radiated feelings of pain and discomfort.

It thought it was a sweet and delicious little young dragon, but one bite later, it was old dried meat that had been air-dried for who knows how many years. The contrast and discomfort were indescribable unless experienced personally.

But before it could react, its entire form suddenly tightened, and a powerful pulling force came from the other end, dragging it back rapidly.

Ang was very angry. If Nai Ge Li Si wasn't dead, and it was someone like Nai Aili or Bai Hou here, this Snake of Misfortune would have succeeded.

The Dragon God's bloodline inheritance had already told him that the Snake of Misfortune was the natural enemy of the dragon race and was very difficult to deal with. He had already been very careful, but it still attacked. Angry!

Sensing Ang's anger, the little ghost on his finger popped out and 'ow' bit onto the Snake of Misfortune.

"Ah? What is this? Don't..." The Snake of Misfortune suddenly became panicked because it felt itself being rapidly devoured. The little ghost was like slurping noodles, sucking it in big mouthfuls.

The struggle of the Snake of Misfortune was meaningless, its form was constantly being sucked away. Although it kept elongating, as it elongated, its form became thinner, and the little ghost sucked even faster.

The entire Snake of Misfortune was sucked in. The little ghost 'ha' breathed, burped, and hugged back onto Ang's finger.

It was just that not long after hugging back, it raised its head again, breathed, and spat out a blue gemstone, only then feeling smooth.

Everyone ran over quickly, examining the gemstone on Ang's hand. It was round, blue when looked at closely, and when looked at from a distance, the light reflected inside formed a blue vertical pupil, just like a snake's eyeball.

"Crystal of Will?" Du Luo Ken was surprised.

Soul crystals and holy crystals all belong to crystals of will, which are substances formed by faith elemental power, soul energy, and other intentions. The blue gemstone in front of them was clearly one too.

Nai Ge Li Si looked at it and muttered: "So, the natural enemy of our dragon race is actually a god named Sa E Liu Si? Its divine skill is the Snake of Misfortune, and if a dragon sees it, the eggs it lays will turn into snakes?"

Anthony frowned: "This is too vicious, right?"

Nai Ge Li Si shook his head, his mood actually much lighter. The information engraved in the bloodline was too terrifying, so after the Snake of Misfortune appeared, his reaction was panicked, completely lacking the demeanor of the God of Knowledge. No amount of knowledge could resist this fear engraved in the bloodline.

But if the opponent was just a god, the situation was completely different.

He was familiar with gods; how could they be as terrifying as natural enemies? The God of Misfortune was terrifying, but if it was just a divine skill, then it was different.

Divine skills can be countered, and many divine skills are very chicken-rib-like, such as the Goddess of Harvest...

Similarly, if the Snake of Misfortune only targeted dragon eggs, then it was even more chicken-rib-like. Just change to a dead dragon, or even a dragon past its reproductive age, and it would fail.

Fear stems from the unknown. Coming to a knowledge point familiar to Nai Ge Li Si, he immediately relaxed.

Since it was a god, just kill it. How many times had Ang done things like killing gods?

The problem now was, how to find it? Nai Ge Li Si turned and asked: "Do you know this Sa E Liu Si?"

Du Luo Ken said: "You say Sa E Liu Si, I haven't heard of it, but the aura of this snake should belong to the ancient gods."

Anthony slapped his thigh: "Now that Lord Du Luo Ken says that, I remember. In the ancient god epics compiled by the Church of Light, there is indeed a record of an ancient god that can make dragons lay snake eggs. Is it called Sa E Liu Si?"

"Ancient god epic? Where? Let me see." Nai Ge Li Si asked curiously. There was an ancient god epic? Why hadn't he heard of it?

Anthony spread his hands: "Burned."

"..." Nai Ge Li Si was speechless: "It was you who burned it again, right? You civilization destroyer." Nai Ge Li Si couldn't complain: "Then do you remember the content? Do you know where Sa E Liu Si is? How many ancient gods were recorded in it?"

Anthony pondered and said: "I can't remember how many ancient gods were recorded, but I do remember the two most powerful ancient gods. The God of Life and the Dragon God ranked in the top two of the epic."

Naturally, the God of Life and the Dragon God, not to mention among the ancient gods, are top-tier existences even now.

"As for where Sa E Liu Si is, ever since the Church of Light unified the main plane, any god you can't find traces of, you should be able to find in the God's Tomb of the Church of Light," Anthony said.

God's Tomb of the Church of Light? There's such a place? Where?

"Seraphim Luna, Seraphim Luna, where is the God's Tomb of the Church of Light?"

The God's Tomb is in the void, where all the gods who fell at the hands of the gods of light are buried, whether they are ancient gods or new gods.

Those who do not believe in the light are all heretics. From the moment of its establishment, the Church of Light has been sparing no effort in conquering all heretical gods.

If there are other gods still alive, it's not that the gods of light don't want to conquer them, but that they can't beat them.

For example, the God of Life is living well. The gods of light have never had the idea of provoking it; they can't beat it. The God of Immortality is also living well; they can't beat it.

If Sa E Liu Si once existed, but is now nowhere to be found, then the greatest possibility is that it was buried in the God's Tomb of the Church of Light.

"Dead?" Nai Ge Li Si asked?

"Yes, very likely dead. Maybe it wasn't killed by the gods of light, but by your Dragon God. Otherwise, why would it throw a petrified egg into the dragon incubation room? Could it be to make all the eggs hatch into snakes?"

Anthony spread his hands: "Definitely not. It might just be to stimulate your bloodline. Who could have thought that the lord could restore it? This is just an accident. You don't need to be nervous at all. The natural enemy of the dragon race is long gone."

Makes sense. If there was danger, the Dragon God couldn't have thrown a natural enemy's egg into the incubation room, right?

"Then why did it inherit such terrifying information in the bloodline?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"Nonsense, if it's not terrifying, how can it stimulate your bloodline?" Du Luo Ken said.

In an unknown plane, at the same time Ang shouted "Flash Feiti," the purple-gold skeleton that had been maintaining a thinking posture moved, raised its head blankly, and muttered: "I seem to... be called Feiti? Flash... Feiti?"

Feiti stood up slowly, pacing blankly. Some things were waking up in its soul: "Palace of Rest... Soul Storm... God of Immortality..."

"Immortal Godhead, can make me remember more things. Where is the God of Immortality?" The purple-gold skeleton stood blankly in place for a long time, suddenly remembered something, walked to a corner, rummaged around, and dug out a statue.

It was a sculpture with both hands held in front. Feiti removed the third section of the defective finger and placed it on the held palm. Very quickly, a small furry claw reached over and pressed firmly on the finger bone.
