The Evil God of Hogwarts - Chapter 412
c398 Things that invade dreams
As Xing Ze expected, the cries of the two demons attracted other creatures in the nest. The first to come were the group of ape-like monsters.
Xing Ze originally thought that they would treat the corpse as food, but they seemed to be full of fear of demons, and only circled around the corpse for a while before continuing to run deeper.
After these little monsters left, a sneaky footsteps sounded, and the air around the corpse fluctuated slightly. Xing Ze knew that it was another demon, but he was not waiting for this, but for what came after the demon.
It was a snake man, or more precisely, a wise snake man. During the conversation with Scia Reese, using his excellent dark vision, he saw some snake men hiding in the dark. They obviously did not have much wisdom, and their behavior was more like that of ordinary beasts.
As their leader said, strong bodies are always available, but smart minds are not so easy. The snake man squatted down and examined the corpse with his tongue spitting out, but it stood up cautiously again soon.
Time cannot be delayed too long. Xing Ze understands that the chameleon spell can make them blend into the environment, but it cannot cover up their body temperature. The snake people have a very developed thermal sensing system, which is their most common means of finding enemies in the dark.
Before he was exposed, Xing Ze rushed out at the fastest speed. Behind him, the eldest lady tacitly cast a dazzling light ball.
The demon ghost protecting the snake man was disturbed by the light and temporarily lost the threat. Xing Ze rushed very fast and arrived in front of the snake man in just one breath.
The blue beak turned into a sharp blade and attacked. Although the snake man was also disturbed by the light, he avoided Xing Ze’s sneak attack with his agile body and fighting instinct.
It turned around flexibly and spit out a burst of poisonous mist. The mist immediately filled around it, and the poor demon ghost struggled in the poisonous mist.
However, it obviously did not expect that the other party did not care about the poisonous gas at all, but continued to rush over. The snake man was slightly stunned, and its vision returned to normal. With the help of the light, it saw its enemy clearly.
But that was all he could do. The deadly death god passed through the thick fog, and the sharp blade pierced its abdomen. The opponent’s other hand pressed on its face, and black particles rushed into its mouth, nose and ears frantically.
Xing Ze needed an intelligent creature that knew this place, so that he could read the other’s memory for his own use, instead of wandering around here.
The snake man kept struggling, and its consciousness fiercely resisted the blue beak. This was the first time Xing Ze invaded the brain of a dream creature. Compared with humans and wizards, dream pollution naturally invaded his brain unstoppably.
Various fragments flashed before his eyes, his parents, childhood memories, painful past, and even the warmth of lying in his mother’s arms when he was a baby.
Xing Ze began to gradually sink and get lost in the past. Until that voice sounded in his ears.
“Xing Ze! No matter what you are doing, hurry up! We don’t have time!”
Ellie’s voice was like a heavy hammer, instantly waking up Xing Ze who was immersed in illusion. He regained consciousness and threw away the body of the snake man. The poor guy’s brain was completely burned, and there was no hope of survival.
Xing Ze took a deep breath, then turned and walked quickly towards Ellie and said, “Follow me, I know the way.”
The eldest lady did not ask any more questions, but waved her wand and cast a magic spell. The passage in front of them shook, and with a few loud noises, the falling stalactites and the fallen stalagmites completely blocked the road.
“This should be able to stop them for a while.” Ellie followed Xing Ze and said.
Those unintelligent snake people were rushing here. Xing Ze could hear the sound of them crawling on the ground, walls, and roofs. The noise made by the two of them had put the entire nest on alert.
“We are going to Scia Reese’s laboratory. There is what I am looking for there.” Xing Ze explained.
The eldest lady quickened her pace and said, “Let’s go, I hope there won’t be too many surprises on the road.”
“Hey, wait.” Xing Ze held Ellie, “If…if something unexpected happens later, just use the Apparition to leave, don’t worry about me.”
Something flashed in Ellie’s eyes, she shook off Xing Ze’s hand and said, “You should pay more attention to yourself, just don’t hold me back.”
Xing Ze nodded apologetically. It was a very risky move to let Bluebeak invade the snake people. He was a gamble.
Although they almost died together, they still got a lot of useful information. He was lucky that the snake man was not a complete snake man, it was transformed from a human.
When Xing Ze got this information, he was also quite surprised. He now finally understood why the snake people had such advanced biotechnology but still nested in the sewers of Liverpool.
They lost the most important thing-wisdom. That’s right, the key to the survival of this population has always been their wisdom and technology.
The technology of the snake people is indeed powerful, but many technologies have become a pile of waste after losing the necessary conditions and operators.
According to the information obtained, the only one in the entire nest who can manipulate and use the existing technology is Scia Reese, but even he needs to find the necessary snakeman sacred objects to use the lost technology again.
And technology is the only way for the snakemen to fight against the curse of their gods. These snakemen from the Yoshi Fortress betrayed their original god, the snake god Yig, and were cursed by the snake god.
The curse will make them gradually degenerate and eventually become like ordinary beasts. This is a disaster for snakemen, creatures that attach great importance to wisdom.
Although the snakemen of Yousi got a way to resist the curse from their new god, the price they paid was also quite heavy, which indirectly led to their gradual weakening in the subsequent natural disasters and wars.
Xing Ze walked forward while telling the eldest lady the information he got. They used the chameleon spell to avoid a large number of ape creatures.
These ugly and barbaric creatures are actually degenerated humans. Their ancestors are the black slaves and supervisors. Long-term inbreeding and the intentional transformation of snakemen have made these creatures look like this.
It can be said that it was by experimenting on these humans that Scia Reis invented the human assimilation serum. This strange serum can transform humans into snakemen, or more precisely, half-snakemen.
“The snake man you just killed was Frank? The dumb detective Frank?”
“Yes, Scia Reese wants to use serum to assimilate humans to make up for the problem of snake man’s intellectual degeneration. It needs assistants and managers, not a group of people who only know how to kill.”
Seeing Xing Ze’s pace gradually slowed down, Ellie swallowed the question on her lips and looked ahead.
Looking at the yellow translucent cocoons hanging from the top, the eldest lady couldn’t help but guess: “Let me guess, this is the hibernation room of those snake men.”
