Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1066

Chapter 1066: Chapter 631 Something Was Struck Out Chapter 1066: Chapter 631 Something Was Struck Out “I knew things weren't that simple. What's trying to seize your body?” Negris stopped Ange and asked with confusion.

In fact, throughout the process, it felt quite unreasonable. The Serpent of Misfortune's demeanor lacked the grandeur of an Ancient God, and its speech wasn't entirely truthful; it always seemed to be hiding something. Now it knew–the Serpent of Misfortune was not in a good situation.

If the Serpent of Misfortune were in a desperate situation, then its behavior would make sense. It wasn't in a hurry before, but now it was Negris's turn not to worry, “What's trying to seize your body?”

“I don't know, only that it comes from the Chaos Plane. I've heard it was cast out,” the Serpent of Misfortune hesitated before speaking.

Negris's heart stirred. Now, whenever he hears about the Chaos Plane, he immediately thinks of the Undead King. Could it be another outcast like the Wanderer Drosa?

“What's going on with your body?” Negris asked again.

The Serpent of Misfortune became anxious. “I offer you my loyalty. Please help me protect my body first, and then we can talk about the rest. There's no time.”

“No, no, no, you're hiding too much. We don't trust you. Unless you make the whole situation clear, we won't help you,” Negris replied.

The Serpent of Misfortune had first concealed the enemy from the Chaos Plane, then its body's condition–who knew what else it was hiding? Without understanding these issues, Negris certainly wouldn't let Ange help it.

“If you don't assist, once these outsiders control my body, they will invade the Plane,” the Serpent of Misfortune said.

Negris calmly responded, “Your words lack credibility. Why should the entity that controls your body necessarily invade the Plane? It is your enemy, not necessarily ours. We know someone from the Chaos Plane who gets along quite well with us. Besides, even if it really does invade the Plane, we'll just kill it off. What's the big deal?”

Even Ange wasn't afraid of the Serpent of Misfortune itself, so what was there to fear about a creature that has taken over its body? Merely because it comes from the Chaos Plane?

Wanderer Drosa, who also comes from the Chaos Plane, suffered a great deal, nearly selling himself to acquire a Blank God Statue from Ange. These potential outcasts driven away by the Undead King couldn't be that powerful. If they were, they wouldn't have been expelled. Aren't there still four of the strongest ones who haven't left?

With this confidence, Negris was not intimidated by the Serpent of Misfortune's threats.

The Serpent of Misfortune was truly desperate and anxiously asked, “What do you need in exchange for your help?”

“Offer your soul. That way Ange can tell if you're lying,” Negris said.

The difference between offering a soul and offering loyalty is immense. Offering a soul means establishing a Soul Contact, creating a top-down network, where if the one at the top dies, the entire network collapses, and all connected perish.

Everyone established such a Soul Contact with Ange. If Ange were to die, all would be buried with him. Conversely, the death of others does not affect Ange, but in danger, Ange can also protect everyone, such as with the silver coin and redemption.

When the silver coin was killed by Polk for a Soul Search, it was Ange who sheltered his soul. During the Faith Storm, redemption was also due to Ange's protection.

Forsaking everything in exchange for protection.

Furthermore, Soul Contact allows Ange to browse the memories of any of his subjects. If he wishes, no one is entitled to secrets; even the soul isn't free.

Besides this, there's another system. The current Anthony is Ange's Divine Soul, part of the Faith Elemental Force system, just as closely associated as the Soul Network.

However, it lacks the 'die together' constraint but has an additional constraint of power. If Ange disagrees, Anthony cannot wield the true strength of the Divine Soul.

“`
Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, but the level of restraint they impose is just as significant. However, Ange doesn't really like to constrain everyone. As long as it doesn't affect his farming, do whatever you please.

So, even though everyone has established a strong bond of constraint, they don't feel any pressure and are at ease.

The bond of loyalty oaths is much looser. What Anthony offered to the Undead King years ago was a loyalty oath, so the life or death of the king would not affect Anthony.

While the binding force of a loyalty oath may be weaker than that of a soul connection, it does not mean that betrayal is taken lightly. Any rebellious thought would be suppressed by the oath, making it impossible to even entertain the idea.

Further, the lord of the oath cannot browse memories but can only generally sense some emotions, such as resentment, anger, happiness, and joy.

Therefore, Negris demanded a soul sacrifice so he could look through the memories of the Serpent of Misfortune.

“No way, I am an Ancient God, no one can bear my soul,” the Serpent of Misfortune refused.

With indifference, Negris said, “No worries, just take your time and explain the details. We'll think about whether we want to help you after you clarify your situation. Start with your body–what's happening with it? Why can they control it, and you can't control your own body?”

The Serpent of Misfortune rolled its eyes in exasperation: “It's all because of you Dragon Gods; you're the ones who got me into this mess.”

“Oh? How did they harm you? Tell me and cheer me up. We Dragon Gods are just that awesome,” Negris immediately got excited.

The Serpent of Misfortune had a vein pop in frustration and its vertical pupils contracted in anger.

Unfortunately for it, Negris was projected onto Ange's body. It could not glare at the Little Yellow Dragon, only at Ange. So, Ange also arched his back, staring it down, ready to spring into action.

“No, no, no, don't get me wrong, my eyes are just dry, I wasn't glaring at you, my lord. Please don't take it the wrong way,” the Serpent of Misfortune said hastily, widening its eyes and blinking innocently, managing to actually look somewhat cute?

Negris almost burst out laughing–dry eyes? You, an energy being, get dry eyes? But seeing how quickly it backed down, Negris was even more convinced that the serpent's circumstances were dire. It could be that not only had someone stolen its body, but that could also affect it adversely.

It was a shame that Anthony and the silver coin couldn't come back; otherwise, squeezing this serpent dry would have been an easy task. There would be no need for all this trouble.

The situation of the Serpent of Misfortune was indeed not good, and it might have reached a critical moment of desperation. Seeing Negris so impervious, it gritted its teeth and suddenly released Tyranus, retreating and dissipating into the Void.

Most people were stunned, including Tyranus, who had just been released. What did this mean? Even Negris was confused: Did I mess up? Is it trying to flee?

The only one not surprised was Ange. He had been listless, but after being glared at by the Serpent of Misfortune, he perked up. Now he reacted quickly, flipped his hand, and threw the Guardian Barrier over.

This Divine Technique was originally meant to protect its target, but Ange used it as a capture technique. No matter how invisible you are or whatever energy state you're in, be it solid or formless, you're covered all the same.

The Guardian Barrier belonged to barrier-level defenses, which means to break through it would require barrier-breaking capabilities.

The Serpent of Misfortune panicked and took on a physical form, desperately hitting the barrier.

However, before it could shake it even slightly, Ange had grabbed it, pulling back a shadowy figure. With his other hand, he gathered Divine Power and punched the Serpent of Misfortune's shadowy form–Goddess of Beauty Fist!

Pop! Something was expelled from the shadow of the Serpent of Misfortune.
