Chapter 395: Feathered Serpent God

Chapter 395: Feathered Serpent God

Wu Ming landed, and what caught his attention was a city surrounded by countless vines and trees.

There wasn't a single person in the city, but there were traces of human life all around, it seemed to have been of late.

"Sure enough, Eridu city has become the goddess's territory," Wu Ming said without being surprised.

Because the dragon form couldn't unlock some activities in Eridu, because Wu Ming raised his Noble Phantasm and turned it into human form.

After that, Wu Ming saw the vines blocking and thought of something.

"Come out, Humbaba." Wu Ming signaled, and a pure white long spear jumped out of his sleeve and fused into the ground.

*Woo*

With a roar like a whimper, a huge green creature with two horns on its head, resembling a bear and a deer, emerged from the ground.

Like climbing from water to land, Humbaba's appearance has no effect on the ground.

"Woo woo woo" After coming out, Humbaba rubbed Wu Ming, and let out a burst of soft whimper.

Even though Wu Ming's dragon-shaped state was far greater than his current human form, Humbaba would devour Wu Ming in one bite. Besides, given Humbaba's level of love for him, if he didn't pay attention to Humbaba, it was very likely that Humbaba would actually swallow him.

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault for not seeing you for a long time, I'm sorry." Wu Ming affectionately touched Humbaba and said with a wry smile.

"I will make it up to you in the future~" He touched Humbaba's head again, and Wu Ming became serious.

"Woooo-" Humbaba shouted reluctantly, but still obediently.

Humbaba gently lifted his leg, and an invisible force spread out, and the vines that wrapped around Eridu and the trees blocking the path all moved away like they had legs.

Humbaba was a forest divine beast existence, and it could still do things at this level.

"Let's go, Humbaba." Wu Ming jumped and jumped onto Humbaba's big head.

"Woo" Humbaba groaned and started moving towards the interior of Eridu.

After entering Eridu, Wu Ming discovered that there were not many trees and vines in the houses and streets within Eridu.

"Do you want to let these people out, or are you just defending against my arrival?"

Wu Ming was more inclined to the former, however, the block could not stop his progress.

However, Wu Ming always felt that the other party's goal was the last, after all, there were traces of humans at the entrance of Eridu.

At this moment, a group of people poked their heads out of the Eridu townhouse.

"Are the citizens of Eridu okay?" Wu Ming was a little surprised, but this also explained why there were traces of human life at the entrance of Eridu.

"This Lord Dragon Sage!?"

"This is Lord Dragon Sage and Divine Beast Humbaba!!"

"Lord Dragon Sage, are you here to save us!"

"Lord Dragon Sage..."

In an instant, the countless residents of Eridu, who had seen Wu Ming and Humbaba clearly, all rushed out, kneeling down and begging to be saved.

However, the majority of this population are women and children, and only a small proportion of the population are male.

"Everyone, calm down first." Then, Wu Ming spoke, and his light-filled voice entered everyone's ears, and in an instant, everyone calmed down.

Wu Ming directly used the divine aura to regulate the unstable emotions of these residents.

"Lord Dragon Sage..."

"You are right, Lord Dragon Sage"

"Lord Dragon Sage, you must save us"

Everyone calmed down, although they still asked for Wu Ming's rescue, but their tone was very calm.

"So, what's going on here?" Wu Ming asked as he jumped off Humbaba.

...

For a moment, everyone told Wu Ming what had happened.

King Gilgamesh returned and ruled Uruk in the form of a wise king, and the cities affiliated with them were able to gain light and were well developed.

Not long after, news of the Demon Beasts' invasion came from the north, and King Gilgamesh organized an army to fight the Demon Beasts.

Those in the far south naturally don't need to be attacked by Demon Beasts, although sometimes they encounter one or two Demon Beasts who don't know how to head south, they can still be subdued and killed with the help of the people in Eridu and the townspeople through good life.

However, don't know when, apparently overnight, the entire Eridu was surrounded by forests, and vines and trees appeared in Eridu. Then, a woman claiming to be a goddess came here, and the goddess said that she was the Feathered Serpent God, and after the people of Eridu saw the power of this Feathered Serpent God, she announced that this place had become her territory.

But unexpectedly, the Feathered Serpent God did not commit any crime after ruling Eridu, and the people of Eridu continued to live their old days.

However, the good times did not last long.

Demon Beasts come from time to time. Although the people in Eridu were able to subdue and kill them, they also suffered casualties, and the number of single Demon Beasts had increased significantly in recent times.

So, the Feathered Serpent God made a deal with everyone.

"I can protect you from Demon Beast attacks, but you have to go to my temple every day to offer a man."

In order to survive, after weighing the pros and cons, everyone settled down and agreed to the Feathered Serpent God's request.

In the following days, everyone would choose a man each day and send her to the temple built by the Feather God of Elidu.

And Eridu was never attacked by a Demon Beast again.

However, it was discovered that none of the people who were sent to the Eridu Shrine returned and did not know whether they were alive or dead.

Since then, gradually, everyone began to be afraid, but because of the Demon Beast outside, everyone did not dare to interfere with the contract until Wu Ming arrived.

"I see, let's go back to the house first, I will talk to the Feathered Serpent God, don't worry." Using the divine aura again, Wu Ming persuaded everyone to return home and live in peace.

It could only be said that otherwise, as expected, those people would most likely truly be considered "sacrifice".

However, if it really was the Feathered Serpent God, the sacrifice would be a joke, because the Feathered Serpent God hated the sacrifice of life the most, so either this goddess was not the Feathered Serpent God, or there was some other secret.

"Let's go, Humbaba, let's go to the Eridu shrine." Wu Ming jumped on Humbaba's head and patted Humbaba's big head.

"Woo" Accompanied by Humbaba's steps and cries, the huge green Divine Star headed for the temple built by the Feathered Serpent God.
