Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Hiss..."

A series of strange sounds, like the friction of snakes' throat bones, pierced the eardrums, and the eerie echoes grew closer.

Crimson moonlight pierced the dome and fell down, and blood was seeping from the humus layer within a radius of ten feet. The bones that had been soaking for thousands of years trembled as if they were alive!

Ye Ge thought to himself, 'They're here...'

"boom!"

Amidst the surging mud waves of the swamp, nine towering black pillars twisted and swayed in the mist, unleashing waves of air carrying millennia-old poisonous miasma that crashed towards the crowd!

The nine thick snake bodies crushed the hill of white bones, and the nine heads stretched out in the thick fog.

The central head's blood-red eyes blazed like torches, its raised scales gleaming with the cold light of bronze vessels; the three heads on the left spewed out purplish-black poisonous mist, the slime dripping from between their fangs causing the mud to boil; the five heads on the right either coiled around black water and ice, or cracked open their blood-red maws emitting the cries of infants, and the last head even retained half a human face, with the pale white snake bones faintly visible beneath the rotting flesh.

However, these nine thick, huge, twisted, and swaying snake bodies were all deep purple-black and semi-transparent, clearly indicating that they were not real flesh and blood, but rather the bodies of the dead!

But that's not the point.

Suddenly, Ye Ge saw a figure slowly emerge from the blood-red fog.

It's Muraki!

Muraki slowly emerged from the blood mist, holding a black samurai sword in his right hand. Half of the bronze mask on his face had been corroded, revealing half of his human face, and his entire body was shrouded in deep purple-black demonic energy and a fierce aura.

As he slowly walked out, everyone was surprised to discover that the undead body of the nine-headed hydra Xiangliu was actually parasitizing his body! All nine serpent bodies emerged from his back, and huge serpent shadows enveloped his body, coiling and growing on him like undead armor!

Muraki's appearance has also changed slightly.

The half of the face exposed outside the bronze mask was covered with bluish-black snake scales, the pupils of the eyes had turned into eerie vertical pupils like snakes, and there were signs of snake-like transformation in various parts of the body.

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes.

Good guy...

This guy actually arrived at the Bloodstained Demon Pool as well, and he was there even earlier than them.

So it turns out that it wasn't Karl and his group who triggered the trap at the entrance to the BOSS room.

Or is it Muraki?

Bai Xueling frowned: "What's wrong with him...?"

Ye Ge nodded: "Yes, he was possessed by the vengeful spirit of the Hydra, Xiang Liu."

Wang En had previously been possessed by the ninth-tier ghost god, Li Liao.

Undead creatures are divided into three levels: ghosts, ghost kings, and ghost gods.

Only those at the sixth rank or above can become Ghost Kings, and only those at the ninth rank or above, up to the twelfth rank, can be called Ghost Gods!

Back then, Wang En's power surged so dramatically when he was possessed by a low-level ninth-tier ghost god like Li Liao...

Given the strength of the Nine-Headed Serpent Xiangliu, an ancient ferocious beast and undead, it is at least an eleventh-tier ghost god!

'It seems that Muraki made the possession contract with Hydra Xiangliu on his own initiative...' Yoru thought to herself.

“Muraki?” Karl raised an eyebrow.

The demon Rakshasa stared at him and chuckled sinisterly, "I didn't expect you to still be alive, kid."

However, Rakshasa suddenly noticed.

The demonic curse mark on Muraki's neck seems to have changed slightly.

Rakshasa narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Muraki, you've got some nerve. As a member of the Sun Wheel Clan, how dare you alter the Demonic Curse Seal? Have you forgotten the kindness the Demon Clan showed to your Sun Wheel Clan?"

Although they were originally shareholders on the company's board of directors, the Rakshasa demon race was a superior race to the Sun Wheel race by nature.

Therefore, Rasetsu naturally looked down on Muraki from the very beginning.

"A favor?" Muraki said expressionlessly, "I'll repay that favor today."

He then stomped his foot.

His figure moved with lightning speed, instantly appearing in front of the demon Rakshasa!

The speed is amazing!

The demon Rakshasa stared wide-eyed.

"Shh-"

"Pfft!!!"

Blood splatters!

Muraki swiftly slashed with his katana, drawing a barely perceptible line across the demon Rakshasa's neck.

The devil's head suddenly flew off!

His wide-eyed, incredulous expression was forever frozen on his face!

The hydra behind him flicked its tongue and lunged forward, biting down on the demon's head and pulverizing it into a bloody mist!

The headless body of the Rakshasa remained standing in place. A few seconds later, blood gushed from its severed neck, and it collapsed heavily into the pool of blood.

Meanwhile, the nine snake heads behind Muraki lunged at the others around them!

Including Ye Ge, Bai Xue Ling, Mu Jian Nan, Karl, Zhu Yu, Lin Ye, Wei Shi Tian and others also retreated and dodged.

boom!

The hydra's malevolent aura unleashed a powerful shockwave!

"Cough cough..."

After dodging and landing, Mu Jiannan suddenly knelt on one knee, feeling a sudden discomfort in his body.

Ye Ge frowned: "Master... what's wrong?"

"I don't know..." Mu Jiannan said weakly, "It seems the air here is poisonous, and I accidentally inhaled some..."

Yege immediately thought of the poisonous mist and shockwaves that had been created when the Hydra appeared.

Ye Ge took out a poison-resistant pill and gave it to Mu Jiannan.

Thinking that Tyrannosaurus Willba said he would definitely need the second one, did he already know that Mu Jiannan would also appear in this Bone Rot Swamp?

...Uh...that seems to be true.

After all, Mu Jiannan must have been the one who sold the tickets to this instance...

Ye Ge looked at Bai Xue Ling again: "What do you think?"

Bai Xueling shook her head: "I was far away just now, I'm fine."

"Hmm..." Ye Ge swallowed the other anti-poison pill himself: "I don't have a third anti-poison pill. Just to be on the safe side, you should go back to the spirit pet contract space first."

"Okay." Bai Xueling clasped her hands together and disappeared with a "bang".

Carl covered his mouth and nose, slowly stood up in the poisonous fog, looked at Muraki, and said expressionlessly, "Muraki, do you want to betray the company?"
