Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 640: Crystal Thorn Python

Alan knew exactly what Catherine was paying attention to. He didn't want to be used by this woman in vain. His current aura was condensed without releasing any Origin Energy. Alan took a subtle but exquisite step, and he was always able to defeat the guards' attacks by a small margin. The blood concealment in his hand used the inertia in his movements to draw out the saber with ordinary force, but it was always accurately submerged into the cracks on the guard's body that were emitting flames. With a twist of the heavy saber, the hard rock skin on the guard's body would peel off one after another, and then the magma and flames would break out of his body.

That's their blood!

Alan circled between the Lava Guard's fist and the flames. He didn't even release any of his abilities, so his aura was weak. Under the magma and fire aura of the lava guards, Allen's presence was so weak that it was almost negligible.

It might seem easy, but only Alan knew how difficult it was. The Lava Guards were generally around Level 15, but their pure strength was two to three levels higher. Their fists were like blazing lava. When the guards waved their fists, they were like streams of heat crisscrossing a limited space. Allen needed to cross these passions without the slightest hesitation. He was like a dancer on a steel wire. Every step must be carefully calculated. Otherwise, if he were to rise and fall, what was waiting for him would be the sharp blade steel saber, which would stab him until he was riddled with holes.

Another wave of heat rushed over, and Alan quietly stopped. Just like that, a fiery fist flashed past his eyes. The heat from the fist even caused his hair to bend. The fist finally smashed into the other guard's chest. Alan took the opportunity to drill through the fist, and the two guards were already entangled, forgetting about Alan.

After getting past the guard, Alan felt his eyes empty. Looking back, there were no enemies other than the two guards who were fighting each other. The bodies of the Lava Guards lay on the ground. It was as if there was only magma and fire inside their bodies. When these things were emptied, there was only an empty shell that emitted sparks.

There were many such empty shells on the ground, some of which even collapsed and shattered like burnt stones.

Further away, the remaining lava guards had completely ignored the battle that had just taken place on this side. As they search for food, they faithfully perform their duties. Alan caught a faint shadow in the guard's protective circle. Catherine! Ellen saw the long black and gray hair floating in the air like an elf. Catherine wore a ridge between the lava guards, her posture calm. Alan had to admit that this woman had a set of skills. She had already gone deep into the inner layer of the protective circle, but not a single guard had discovered her.

We have to get her in trouble. Ellen wondered whether to cause some trouble for Catherine or leave at this moment. In the end, he decided to leave. Of course, he wanted to give Catherine a surprise before he left, so that she could repay what she had done just now. Only then did he make up his mind, and the ground began to shake again. Alan felt dizzy, which made him squat down. The sound of rocks cracking came from behind him. He turned around and was extremely shocked.

On the cliff they came down, cracks appeared on the cliff wall. Large cracks curved down like evil dragons, reaching the ground and extending forward. The longest one even reached under Allen's feet, forcing him to retreat to one side. At this time, the cliff began to peel off, and hot smoke spurted out from the cracks. The hot smoke surged and formed a rolling mist. Within the mist, a long roar echoed out.

A moment later, something emerged from the mist. The mist was twisted into wisps of smoke, wrapped around an ugly head, and gradually left behind. It was a triangular head covered in hard scales. There was no eye on it, only a large mouth with crisscrossed teeth and a forked red tongue sticking out from it. Above his head was a swollen meat pouch. Under the translucent wall of the pouch, there were faintly visible ravines, like a dwarf brain!

After the python-like body rushed out of the smoke, Alan suddenly realized. What he saw in front of him was the underground monster serpent that had a water bag inside its body, like a moving water reservoir. However, the size of the snake in front of him was tens of millions of times that of an ordinary monster snake. Its body was like a huge chimney, swiftly swimming across the ground. Wherever the python passed, sand and rocks flew everywhere. The two lava guards were unable to dodge. One of them was knocked flying by it, while the other was crushed beneath him and disappeared.

The python slammed straight into Alan, who turned around and ran forward. He had only just taken a few steps when his head, which was about the size of a starship, had already hit him head-on. Allen was bounced off the ground and landed at the highest point. Below him was the body of a snake that was swimming past. When he was in midair, Alan could clearly see that the thick spikes on the giant snake's body were not bones, but pure crystals that emitted a faint purple light from the inside. There were even some golden threads wrapped around it, as if they were breathing together, flickering brightly and secretly.

Alan finally landed on the giant snake and fell to the ground before he could stand firmly. How fast was the snake? It was not much slower than a high-speed train running at full speed. It was difficult for Alan to stand firmly. He could only rely on one of the crystal thorns on the snake's body to stabilize his body. He turned around and looked forward with the crystal spike in his arms. The giant snake was like a flying car that continuously bounced away the surrounding lava guards.

The strange thing was that the lava guards didn't attack the intruder, which confused Alan.

In front of him, Mother Earth's towering mountain range-like figure was gradually enlarging. It seemed that the giant snake was heading towards Mother Earth. Suddenly, Allen's eyes lit up. It was the lava lake where Earthly Mother was. A pillar of fire exploded and another giant snake drilled out of it. In the distance, there were a few sounds of the mountain exploding. In the surging smoke, two more giant snakes crashed out.

There were a total of four giant snakes heading straight towards Mother Earth. The one that had drilled out of the lava lake had already swam onto Mother Earth's enormous body with a body of flames. It was swimming between the peaks on its back, not knowing what it wanted to do. Before Alan could regain his senses, he suddenly felt a familiar aura approaching from behind him. He turned around and saw Catherine's figure flash out from behind a few crystal spikes and stop on the snake several meters away from Alan.

Catherine lowered her center of gravity, stepped on the snake scales under her feet, and looked coldly at Alan. Alan stood up with rapt attention, and the red mist above the blood concealment surged like smoke and flames.

"Don't misunderstand. I'm not planning to attack you, at least for now." Catherine shook her head.

Ellen sneered, "Do you think I'll believe it? God knows if the general will shoot a hidden arrow at me later like he did just now. I think it's better to start this battle as soon as possible."

"I don't want to explain anything. You can fight if you want. However, there's no point in fighting like this. Besides, don't you want to see what happens later?" Catherine raised her head, and in her eyes Alan saw the grand figure of Mother Earth.

He was stunned and asked, "What will happen?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be Mother Earth's breeding season."

"Breeding season?" "Then these crystal pythons …" Alan looked at the giant snake beneath his feet.

"Naturally, it's a spouse."

As if to confirm Catherine's words, the Giant Crystal Thorn Python beneath their feet had already arrived at Mother Earth's feet. The Crystal Python was originally considered huge, but before Mother Earth's body, it was like a small snake. Right now, the crystal python was struggling to soar up and swim up Mother Earth's body, as if it was about to climb the Great Peak. The crystal python's body immediately became vertical. Alan and Catherine could no longer catch it, and the two of them fell from the giant snake one after another.

Fortunately, the surroundings around Mother Earth were like a windless circle in a storm. Not a single lava guard approached, which was a benefit to Allen and the others. They landed on the ground and looked up. The two of them were standing at the feet of Mother Earth. From this distance, they could see just how huge this giant beast was. Not to mention anything else, just a random scale on his feet was several meters square. From this point of view, it was impossible to see all of the giant beasts, only a part of their bodies could be seen.

At this moment, a three-tailed serpent had already swam onto Mother Earth's body. As the Giant Crystal Thorn Python swam, it secreted viscous, faint pink body fluids from its abdomen. These body fluids actually emitted a strange fragrance. As more and more snake fluids covered Mother Earth's body, the fragrance in the air became even more intense. If one closed their eyes, they would almost think that they were in the midst of a myriad of flowers. However, the fragrance was just too strong, and it made one feel disgusted.

Alan accidentally sucked in a mouthful, and an unnatural flush appeared on his face. His abdomen was like a ball of flame that was ignited, and a strong impulse that he had never felt before arose from the depths of his heart. His body reacted as well. He looked at Catherine in surprise. The Federation Major General's face was also flushed red, and his body trembled slightly. He was also affected by the fragrance. josei

"Hurry up and retreat. The snake's nature is obscene. This snake liquid contains intense aphrodisiac. Don't absorb too much." As Catherine spoke, she flew back and swept the snake scythe in her hand, creating a stream of air that blew away the dense fragrance of the snake liquid.

Alan hurriedly retreated along with them. The two of them retreated a hundred meters before the fragrance faded. Looking at the Mother Earth in front of him, there was already a faint purple mist enveloping its body. It was a gas formed by the evaporation of the snake liquid from the heat of the earth. Mother Earth no longer absorbed the lava. Her lizard dragon-like head sucked in a row of nostrils at the same time, pulling out a stream of purple mist and sucking it into her body.

As the amount of purple mist inhaled gradually increased, the cracks on Mother Earth's body began to emit flames, and her aura became even more intense. Finally, it let out a strange roar. This roar was like a signal, stimulating the crystal python to start swimming towards its abdomen. Mother Earth stood up once again, her movements causing the earth to shake and the clouds to change. When it stood up, the three crystal pythons came to its stomach and wrapped themselves around it. Following that, their tails trembled continuously. A large amount of snake liquid that emitted a strong fragrance began to flow down to the ground. The liquid was evaporated by the heat on the ground and turned into purple mist to cover Mother Earth.
