Chapter 1264: 406. Electric Roast Serpent Demon_2

Under the condition that the Stone Serpent Demons lacked quantum leap ability, they must have departed from Lisom-14 at least two years ago to arrive on Lisom-13 Planetospheres now.

Traveling continuously in space for two years!

Just to run from Planet Lisom-14 to Planet 13!

Are these serpent demons insane?!

Isn’t it better to stay put on Planet 14?

This question not only baffled Cucumber Slice, but even if you brought in scholars specializing in Stone Serpent Demons, they probably would be perplexed.

If it’s a migration, why did only dozens of serpent demons come?

If it’s a scouting team, why didn’t they stay hidden and quietly observe the ships instead of launching a direct attack?

All these mysteries were resolved when the serpent demons, heads hanging low, pounced in the direction of the underground treasure chamber!

The meticulous Strawberry Juice girl said with an epiphany:

“I remember now! A file from the United Bureau mentioned strange signals on Lisom-13 Planetosphere two years ago! Doesn’t this coincide with the departure time of the serpent demons from Planet 14?”

Case solved, the serpent demons are here for the Death Artifact, but the players couldn’t find it funny.

Just a few of them, they couldn’t possibly be a match for the adult serpent demons.

This group of serpent demons are authentic cosmic monsters, the kind that humans must pilot interstellar ships to contend with.

Even Golden Dragon in the Sky, a big shot who is both wealthy and intense, couldn’t possibly fend off dozens of serpent demons on his own.

The only good news is:

Golden Dragon in the Sky has a group of highly skilled professional player henchmen.

“I’ve already sent out a distress signal,” Golden Dragon in the Sky waved his hands, his fingers tapping the game interface in mid-air:

“In at most 10 minutes, my team will sail here to reinforce us!”

“10 minutes…” Cucumber Slice took a deep breath, well aware that he and the others must make a stand here, otherwise it would be hard to buy Boss Jin those 10 minutes.

Noland Lee sat upon the High Platform, silently watching the players’ every move.

He got some inspiration from the players’ conversations.

Specifically:

The dark deities include soaring eagles, earth-shaking tigers, and naturally, shit-stirring sticks and brick-moving laborers.

Dirty and tiring tasks, such as slaughter, plunder, and transport, are all delegated to an exceptional group known as the Filthy Serpent Demons.

The cosmic monsters called Stone Serpent Demons by the players are quite similar to the Filthy Serpent Demons.

Whether it’s their human-headed snake bodies or the characteristic to travel through space, they are quite similar to the rumored Filthy Serpent Demons.

The only difference is, Filthy Serpent Demons can perform quantum leaps, while Stone Serpent Demons cannot.

It’s unknown whether, after the continuous resurrection of the dark deities, the Stone Serpent Demons will officially evolve into Filthy Serpent Demons and thereby master the quantum leap ability.

Thinking this way, Noland Lee basically linked the occurrence of the serpent demons here with the resurrection of the dark deities by the Dark Divine Cult.

As expected, the serpent demons are here to retrieve the Death Artifact to aid the resurrection of deities by the Dark Divine Cult.

If more daring, Noland Lee speculated the emergence of the serpent demons was orchestrated by the Dark Divine Cult behind the scenes.

“Boom…”

A dull thud came from the ground, as the serpent demons began to burrow.

Noland Lee snapped out of his contemplative state.

He glanced at the players, ready for action, and a thought emerged, prompting him to act.

It was time to demonstrate his capabilities as a boss-level NPC to the younger players.

“Search for spells with area guardian effects, capable of defending against physical attacks, acid corrosion, and energy impact.”

Noland Lee muttered in his mind.

The Heart of Magic responded.

[Recommend using the ‘Guardian Rune Array.’ The Magic Array Blueprint and Magic Runes are as follows:…]

Noland Lee raised his hand toward the ground beneath the players, projecting several white light columns.

The players were energized by this and soon realized, the NPC was here to help them!

A sense of anticipation and excitement surged within them.

Golden Dragon in the Sky’s eyes shone brightly, closely watching every move of Noland Lee, his eyes filled with longing for the magic.
