Chapter 512: Pretending to be evasive, startling the enemy (Happy New Year)

The human-faced snake demon stuck out its tongue and turned its head left and right to look for its enemy, but it didn't see even a single hair.

"Little girl, did you see Big Ben yesterday?"

She couldn't find it, so she actually questioned the host!
The Saint of the Cainu Palace had just fought three battles with the Hell Demon Bell, how could she not have seen it?
However, she was in a bad state at the moment and realized that if she said she didn't see it, the human-faced snake demon wouldn't be able to find an opponent and would most likely turn around and attack her directly!

As a witch, she is very smart and her mind works very quickly.

When faced with this situation, he remained calm and answered in a deep voice:
"Yes, it was looking for you just now."

"Oh? Where is it then?"

The human-faced snake demon showed an impatient expression, staring at her straightly, waiting for her to tell him where she was so that he could avenge himself!
The Holy Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace reacted quickly and told the human-faced snake demon not to be anxious.

"The Hell Demon Bell came here just now, and was very angry when it didn't run into you. It scolded you for being as timid as a mouse and a coward, and told you not to let it run into you next time, otherwise..."

"Let's get down to business!"

The human-faced snake demon interrupted her directly and didn't listen to her nonsense or her attempts to add fuel to the fire.

As a creature in the Nascent Soul stage, and also the chief of the Snake Lady Clan, he is not someone that can be led astray by just a few words from the Saint of the Cai Nu Palace.

The Saint of the Cha Nu Palace wisely did not continue to change the subject, but stated it directly.

"The Hell Demon Bell was shattered by my juniors before it met you."

"According to common sense, I should be cursed three to six times a day. As long as you can wait by my side, the Hell Bell will definitely come again!"

"There are two more attempts left today."

These words were spoken with absolute certainty, without the slightest hesitation.

The human-faced snake demon looked at its host calmly, and she did not back down either, staring openly at the hellish creature.

a long time.

"Very good, little girl, you have a good idea. You let me stay with you and wait for the Big Ben to recover. Your wishful thinking is very sound!"

"The juniors have no intention of deceiving the seniors. We just have our own needs."

The Saint of the Cainu Palace played her cards directly. This was an open conspiracy, and there was no need for her to lie.

The Hell Demon Bell came three times today, plus this time with the human-faced snake demon, a total of four times, nothing wrong!

As for the remaining two times, whether the Hell Demon Bell would appear or not was not up to her, because the Holy Son of the Witch Dao Sect never cursed on time anyway.

Maybe he will be summoned the next two times, you never know.

What made the Saint of the Cha Nu Palace feel uncomfortable and panic was that the four times she summoned the clones of Yuanying stage creatures all the time that day. This strength was too great.
Why did she remember that the curse before wasn't like this?

At that time, I cursed three times a day. It didn't hurt or itch, just like scratching an itch.

Now, after the sixth time, the difficulty has skyrocketed. It's too outrageous!
The human-faced snake demon thought there for a while, then coiled up and lay aside. It did not attack the Holy Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace, nor did it have any intention of leaving.

It looked like he was planning to follow her.

"Little girl, I will trust you for once. I will wait for it here and see if it dares to come!"

The Saint Maiden of the Cainu Palace breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in her heart eased a little.

In her current condition, she is really not suitable to fight anymore. She needs to recover and rest. If she continues to fight, something serious might happen.

It would be better to let these two hell creatures fight each other.

However, she did not completely let down her guard, as she was afraid that the human-faced snake demon would suddenly launch a sneak attack on her.

After all, it was a creature summoned by the curse, and was tasked with killing her. Even if it had a grudge against the Hell Demon Bell, how could she dare to bet that the snake demon would not attack her in advance?

I felt really uneasy, so I sat cross-legged and regulated my breathing for a quarter of an hour.

The Saint of the Cha Nu Palace opened her eyes again. The human-faced snake demon next to her was staring at her with a half-smile on his face, which gave her goose bumps all over her body.

"Senior, you hell creatures, once you accept a mission, is it possible to give up halfway?"

She was a little worried and wanted to find out what the human-faced snake demon was really thinking.

Unexpectedly, the other party told her honestly:

"No, once you accept the mission, your first priority must be to kill the host!"

"That"

The Saint of the Cha Nu Palace felt cold all over, but the snake demon opposite was still looking at her with a smile.

"Well, why don't you replenish your blood and energy now? When Big Ben comes, I won't care whether you have enough blood and energy or not. I will still suck as much as I need to. Don't let me suck you dry when the time comes!"

"you!!!"

The Saint Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace was filled with shock and anger, and she almost couldn't help but attack violently to kill this guy first.

If she really wants to suck again in a while, no matter how much essence and blood I have, it won’t be enough to consume it.

"Why, is the little girl going to attack me?"

The human-faced snake demon looked fearless, coiling its body on the ground with its tail swaying slightly.

"Even if you attack me now, I can still suck your blood and essence to deal with you. You can't stop me at all. This is the curse I choose."

"Instead of wasting your energy fighting among yourself, why not save it for me to help you deal with the Hell Demon Bell later?"

"Let's do the math on this, understand?"

The Saint of the Cha Nu Palace clenched her hands and gritted her teeth.

She stared at the snake demon, her eyes almost spitting fire, but there was nothing she could do with it.

What they say makes sense.

Her blood and essence will be sucked away anyway, so instead of letting her waste her energy fighting with me, it is better to keep it for the fight against the Hell Demon Bell.

It doesn't matter who you fight with, the initiative lies with the other party.

And now, the other party has given the initiative to me.

The Saint of the Cha Nu Palace chose to endure.

Although it is possible to kill this projection clone now, it would consume twice as much energy as before, which is really not advisable.

There are still two curses left today, and she must save some strength in case of any unexpected events.

However, it seemed that she had retrieved some incredible information from just a few words!
"Senior, you said that sucking my blood was the curse you chose? What do you mean? Can you explain in detail?"

After a brief conversation with the human-faced snake demon, she found that the creature from Hell was straightforward and didn't like beating around the bush, so she simply spoke frankly and asked the other party directly.

The human-faced snake demon did not shy away and since he had nothing to do, he gave her some scientific knowledge in person!

"Before we, the creatures of Hell, accept a curse order, we will all choose our own way of descending."

"Like the Hell Demon Bell, because he is the commander-in-chief of the Demonic Soldier Clan of the Eighth World of Hell and controls a large amount of resources, he can directly create a clone projection for himself. This is also the most suitable way for him to exert his ultimate combat power."

"As for me, the Snake Girl Clan has not had an easy time these years. We have been trapped in the desert by many clans from Hell, and it is difficult for us to move forward."

"The tribe members are too busy saving money to do so. As the tribe leader, I cannot lead the way in extravagance and waste. I don't have the financial resources to create a projection clone for myself." "So, I chose the strategy of parasitizing the host and then replenishing supplies on the spot."

After the talk, the Saint Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace roughly understood it.

In short, there are two ways: the rich and the poor.

Rich people like Hell Demon Bell can directly tailor-make a clone for themselves, which is teleported down through curses. This way, they can be powerful as soon as they arrive and are not restricted in completing tasks.

The human-faced snake demon is a poor man, of course he is called a poor man, but in fact he is also the head of a clan, but he is not as rich as the Hell Demon Bell. It is unknown how much it costs to create a clone projection, but it seems to be a lot.

If they are short of financial resources, they can choose to parasitize through the cursed channel, parasitize into the body of the cursed object, and then use the host's own blood or soul to enhance their strength.

The advantage of this method is that it consumes little energy and can use local materials, but the mission success rate is not high and it is easy to fail in the womb.

After all, the human-faced snake demon is now parasitic on the Holy Maiden of the Cainu Palace who is in the Jindan stage, so it can break out of her belly every time.

If it were a host in the Nascent Soul stage, he would probably be pushed back by the opponent as soon as he arrived!
The way this monster absorbs essence and blood is through the cursed channel, so the Holy Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace cannot stop it. This is the key.

The human-faced snake demon dared to say it out loud, which means he has complete trust in the powerful beings from the upper realm who made this set of rules. Even if the little girl in front of him knew it, there was nothing she could do to stop herself from sucking blood.

"I see."

The Holy Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace had a slightly ugly look on her face, feeling a little powerless, but unwilling.

This human-faced snake demon sucks so much blood and essence at one time. No one can withstand it if it happens every now and then. The key is that this thing comes several times a day and it never stops!
"Senior, you just said that killing the host must be the first priority, so why can you sit down and talk with me in detail now?"

The Saint Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace came back to this topic again. She really wanted to know the answer to this question.

The human-faced snake demon answered all her questions and was very easy to talk to. He actually answered all her questions one by one.

"My mission is indeed to kill you, but compared to killing you, I would rather cause trouble to the Hell Demon Bell."

"My clone is no match for it anyway, so it's enough to consume some of its strength. As long as it fails its mission and you don't die, I'll be happy."

"Of course, I don't care whether you live or die. It doesn't matter who you die in, but it's better not to die in its hands."

This explanation can work.

As long as the human-faced snake demon dies at the hands of the Hell Demon Bell first, there is no need to fight with her. No one can defeat this clone anyway, but it is a threat to everyone.

The Saint Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace felt slightly relieved and thought from the other party's perspective. This was indeed a win-win for everyone.

But she still didn't dare to completely trust the other party.

Because she knew that the main reason why the human-faced snake demon did not conflict with her was that this clone could not kill her head-on, so the mission was doomed to fail, so it turned its spearhead outward.

If I really let my guard down, others wouldn't mind killing me to reap the fruits of victory.

"Senior, I would also like to ask, if you, the creatures of Hell, succeed in your mission, what rewards will you get?"

"Okay, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

This time, the human-faced snake demon did not indulge her and refused to answer on the spot. After all, the other party had already explained enough and shown enough sincerity.

The Saint of the Cha Nu Palace knew that she could not digest too much at once. Although she still had many doubts, she could only understand these for the time being.

Unfortunately, no method was found to break the curse of the Holy Son of the Wudao Sect.

On the other side, the Holy Son of Wudao Sect moved to another place.

He was now in a bush, sitting on the ground with a storage bag in one hand and a jade slip in the other, seemingly trying to figure out a technique.

There was a dead body on the ground nearby. It had just died. It must have been an unlucky guy who was killed on the road.

The Holy Son of Wu Dao Sect was sorting through this person's storage bag to see if there was anything worthy of his attention.

After looking at it for a while, he put down the jade slip in his hand.

He shook his head and sighed, throwing the storage bag and jade slips behind him. A large, shriveled hand wrapped in green skin stretched out from the soil, grabbed it, and then burrowed into the soil and disappeared.

"Go pick some wild sour jujubes for me to taste. They're on the slope we just passed by."

The shriveled big hand seemed to understand and jumped out of the soil!
It really is just a hand.

The back was connected to the wrist, which was broken at the forearm, with no other parts. The dirty blood at the broken part had coagulated into a scab.

"Swoosh" sound!
It flew straight into the air and disappeared without a trace.

A moment later, a handful of bundles of sour jujube trees were thrown in front of the Holy Son of the Wudao Sect by this hand.

"Can't you just pick it and give it to me, instead of just uprooting the tree and letting me do it myself?"

The Holy Son of Wu Dao Sect frowned and complained angrily.

The hand stood blankly on the ground, rubbing its five fingers together, seeming a little at a loss.

"Oh, forget it. This is the limit of your intelligence. I can't expect too much from you."

As he tasted the sour dates, he remembered that he had just cursed once and the props were still in front of him, except that the arrow was still stuck in the straw man.

This puzzled him.

Generally speaking, when the Seven Arrows Book is casting a curse, if the arrows are stuck into the straw man, it means the curse is in progress and you can just do other things.

When the curse ends, either the time expires, the curse is suppressed by the opponent, or the summoned creature is killed, the arrow will automatically fall off the scarecrow.

This is a disguised reminder to the caster that the curse is over.

Of course, if the target is cursed to death, then both lights will go out, telling the caster that your enemy is dead.

The light is on now and the arrow hasn't fallen yet.

"What's going on this time? It seems like several hours have passed. Why hasn't the curse been finished yet?"

The Holy Son of the Wudao Sect counted on his fingers and it seemed that he had waited for a long time, but the curse still hadn't ended. He didn't know what was going on over there.

However, after he could clearly sense that his proficiency had improved a little bit, any doubts he had were thrown away.

"No matter what, there are still two times today, let's go!"

Instead of pulling out the arrow, he took out another one and shot it at the straw man again.

"Snapped!"

"Um"

The Saint Maiden of the Cha Nu Palace snorted softly and felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

It was just a feeling of discomfort, which she quickly suppressed without making a sound. This time it was so simple that it was a little outrageous.

Even the sprouting of it in the body was destroyed, and even the human-faced snake demon outside didn't notice it.

The Saint of the Cha Nu Palace finally realized that it was still the familiar recipe and the familiar taste!
This is an ordinary curse phenomenon, and there are no extra creatures from hell coming to join in the fun.

Then, another wave of unspeakable feelings came over her, but she suppressed it easily.

"Is this the end of the sixth time?"

The Saint of the Cainu Palace couldn't believe it. Why did today's curse feel a bit anticlimactic?
She smelled something wrong.
