Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1065

Chapter 1065: Chapter 630: Something is Trying to Seize My Body Chapter 1065: Chapter 630: Something is Trying to Seize My Body In the Star Burst Plane, Ange had returned, pulled the Little Yellow Book from inside the Temple of Rest, and then convened everyone.

Negris reported the situation and then asked, “How do we reply to it?”

Anthony and the silver coin looked at each other, hesitated, and asked, “Lord Nage, have you found out how extensive the Serpent of Misfortune's influence is?”

Negris shook his head, “Do you need to know this? I'll note it down and ask when I return.”

“Then about the Serpent of Misfortune's strength, abilities, true form, why does it stay in the Void? How many Snake Mages of Misfortune are there? How many people are under its command? Are there other Ancient Gods near the Master Plane?”

Anthony threw out a heap of questions, which overwhelmed Negris, “Should I stuff you back in there?”

Unfortunately, stuffing him back was impossible unless Anthony was reborn as a Witch, a Life Box was crafted, and the Life Box was then returned for a rebirth, or by cultivating a new body now, rebirthing into the new body, stuffing it back in as a child, and then growing up again.

Each method was too troublesome, and since Anthony couldn't go back, sending the silver coin back would be meaningless. For strategic cunning and adaptability, Anthony was better.

Negris had no choice but to note down these questions, and would decide after consulting the Serpent of Misfortune once he returned.

“If it answers all these questions, should we agree to its request?” Negris asked.

“Of course, whether or not it answers these questions, we can agree to its request, but we need to send someone to follow and we need a means to restrain it. First, test if it is willing to offer its soul. If not, demand its loyalty. If it still refuses, threaten to take away the Titan God King.”

“The Titan is the most important bargaining chip, even without the Serpent of Misfortune, we can assemble our own Adventure Squad and let the Titan lead the way to explore. Do you remember what Wanderer Drosa said? The Titan had once detoured through the Chaos Plane; they know the route to the Chaos Plane.”

“Hiss–” Negris inhaled sharply, “Your Majesty.”

If one could travel from the Void to the Chaos Plane, wouldn't it be possible to seek out the Undead King?

After briefing, Ange returned to his original body, pulled out the Bronze Book again, and hurried to the Void where the Titan and Serpent of Misfortune were located.

They then witnessed a scene of drawn swords: “Let me go, let me go, I will electrocute this foul-mouthed horse, I will break its horn, Thunder obey me, don't interfere with me, kill this horse, I'm going to fight it out, kill this horse!!!”

Lightning was crouching behind Aestolia, sticking out his tongue disdainfully, “With you all running away without even caring for your trousers, I just need to erect a lightning rod in front and can evade you, evade, evade, evade, evade, you still want to electrocute me? You'd better just confess everything that happened along the way, I might get happy and charge you up a bit.”

As Aestolia, who was maintaining the Forbidden Magic Domain to prevent the Titan's sneak attack, listened, something felt increasingly off, she turned her head and angrily said, “Are you saying I'm a lightning rod?”

“Oh, Grandma Ais, it's a metaphor for how thin you are, as thin as a needle, thin as a bolt of lightning,” Lightning quickly flattered.

Aestolia wasn't completely convinced but couldn't pinpoint an inconsistency, so she skeptically turned her head back.

He passed the test, Lightning breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject, “You were just saying that you lost two clan members, how could you lose them just like that? You lost clan members and didn't go back to search? You're heartless, cold-blooded, inhumane, cowardly, afraid of death, you are a craven Titan!”

Tyranus retorted angrily, “You foolish creature of the Plane, do you know how dangerous the Void is? Do you know how difficult it is to search in the Void? You know nothing! I'm just furious, let me go, I'll electrocute it, electrocute it.”

“Come here, you poor conductor with low voltage and infinite resistance, you coward who abandons his companions. I don't believe you lack remote capabilities. Across an entire world, you managed to receive foul signals from Sister Purple Corpse, yet you can't find a companion you just lost? Pah, you're just deceiving cave dwellers. Cold-blooded is what you are, and yet you call yourself the Lord of Thunder? Pah!”

Tyranus grew even more furious, “Pah, you have no idea; someone was chasing me…” He couldn't finish his sentence, as the Serpent of Misfortune biting him suddenly bit down harder, swallowing his next words back into his stomach.

Ange tilted his head, and Negris was also invigorated. Who would have thought, sometimes this foul mouth is quite useful. Something is chasing these Titans? And it scared them so much that they lost two of their kind and Tyranus didn't dare to look for them, opting to abandon his kin and flee?

From the look of the Serpent of Misfortune, it clearly knew what was chasing the Titans. This information wouldn't have been easy to extract from the opponent's mouth if they hadn't lost control during the argument, at least not at the level of skill that Negris possessed.

“Damn it, these guys definitely hid a lot of things. How about we stay back for now, let them argue, and see what else comes out?” Negris suggested.

Unfortunately, the Serpent of Misfortune, realizing that Tyranus was too talkative, immediately plugged the leak, preventing him from speaking further.

After a good while, seeing that no more could be gathered from the argument, Ange pretended to just fly back to the scene leisurely, and Negris, following Anthony's intentions, inquired about some situations from the Serpent of Misfortune.

The Serpent of Misfortune claimed it had no offspring left, just a few Snake Mages of Misfortune who usually disguised themselves as Dragon's Lackey Mages, hanging around on the Eternity Road.

“So you've had people infiltrated in the Eternity Road all along, no wonder you understand the situation on the Master Plane so well,” Negris said, somewhat retrospectively alarmed.

He had been careless, not expecting that an Ancient God-level creature had been silently watching them for so long. If this creature decided to attack, those left on the Eternity Road would be in grave danger.

The Serpent of Misfortune smirked, “What danger? You have so much defensive and alert equipment set up on the Eternity Road, I couldn't get close even if I wanted to.”

“Defensive and alert equipment?” Negris was stunned for a moment, then remembered it was set up by Anthony. At the time, his intention was to prevent anyone from using the thought channel to project themselves backwards and take over the Black Crystal Body. Could it be that it unintentionally guarded against the Serpent of Misfortune as well?

After asking around for more details, Negris began to make demands, “Letting you be the vanguard is not out of the question, but how do I know you won't just hide and ambush us? You must offer your soul to my Lord!”

The Serpent of Misfortune asked doubtfully, “You're asking an Ancient God to offer up a soul? Isn't that a bit too much? Lightning would scold you if it wasn't here.”

Lightning's eyes sparkled, rubbing its hooves eagerly.

In truth, Negris also felt it was excessive. In his mind, the Serpent of Misfortune was, after all, an Ancient God on the same level as the Dragon God. Despite the Serpent of Misfortune's pitiful tone, claiming it was captured by the Dragon God only to scare children, the initial impression was still deeply ingrained.

“At the very least, you must offer loyalty. Otherwise, we have no way to constrain you,” Negris said.

The Serpent of Misfortune hesitated, finding this difficult to accept. An Ancient God offering loyalty to a creature from another plane? Too shameful, though it spoke humbly primarily because its examples were demeaningly low.

“Why don't we make an equal pledge? I promise not to…” Mid-sentence, the Serpent of Misfortune's expression dramatically changed, and it quickly corrected itself, “I offer you my loyalty, Lord Ange. Please accept my allegiance.”

A Fire of Oath fluttered up. Ange didn't take it, as Negris stopped him, “Why the sudden change of heart? Explain clearly, we won't accept your allegiance unless you do.”

The Serpent of Misfortune chuckled bitterly, “I feel something is trying to take over my body, please help me.”
