When Evas' fingers touched Dongya's waist, he clearly felt Dongya's nervousness.
She didn't dare to avoid Avas' touch, but her body instinctively resisted. The abdomen that was subconsciously tightened, the tense muscles... were the fear left behind by the previous punishment of salt erosion.
However, when Aivas actually touched the petrified flesh and blood, she couldn't help but scream.
A sharply increased heat instantly spreads from the contact point to the whole body. It is like touching the skin with a hot hot towel. However, the heat accumulates on the surface of the skin, and the heat at this moment is like a needle, slowly and firmly piercing the petrified scales and touching the deep bones and flesh.
And Avas also felt very clearly that something came alive.
The feeling was like touching the black box filled with insects with your hands. The stinging pain of being bitten, the strange touch... accompanied by a creepy sense of contact, spreading inward along the fingers that Aivas had contacted Dongya.
Evas clearly saw with his special vision that a wisp of orange-yellow smoke oozed out of the petrochemical scales, and slowly crawled above his arm along Evas' fingers. It was like holding a lit smoke in his hand, and the smoke made Evas' skin feel obvious dry and itchy.
"It's interesting..."
Aivas became a little interested.
There is actually a curse that can affect him. This is no longer a pure curse, and it should be mixed with some sacred essences.
——In other words, this power should come from the seventh energy level.
It is not just a ritualist at the sixth level. The opponent also has a piece of counterpart equipment or special Taoist characteristics, which allows him to obtain an additional priority of one level.
If Evas hadn't had the powerful curse resistance of "dissolved soul", he might have succeeded.
But even that is the case, Evas was not very afraid. As long as the petrification was not instantaneous, he could become a snobmon and resist with the additional curse resistance of the snobmon - if it was not enough, he could also switch the Don Quixote he carried with him to Vignes.
The Sisun Beast can easily be immune to this level of curse, or can use the power of "miracle" to forcibly lift the curse.
But Dongya's curse is not so troublesome now.
As the moment the power of the curse penetrated inward from Avas's skin, Avas' golden liquid soul suddenly became bright-
As Avas exerted force, his fingertips also turned slightly white, and the liquid soul surging out a fine golden light under the skin of his fingers.
In an instant, the fine and wet golden mist soaked out from under the skin, completely swallowing the orange-yellow smoke like a tiger, and in turn swallowing every trace of curse on the skin, and then drilled into Dongya Petrified's skin.
It was like ink dripping into clean water, instantly fainting. The originally grayish-white scales and flesh also had color.
The off-white world has color.
Dong Ya looked at Avas in shock, feeling the severe pain and itching in her waist quickly relieved the heat until it dissipated.
No singing, no prayer, no potion, no ritual.
Just a little touch, the petrochemical was lifted!
“…How did this be done?”
This was simply incredible for Dongya - completely beyond her full understanding of the profession of priest so far.
"Ha, it's easy."
Aivas's mouth rose slightly.
On the one hand, Dongya is a believer of Huantiansi, and on the other hand, she is also a devotee and transcendent. Her amazement at this moment made Evas feel happy: "Such a weak curse."
Weak...?
Dongya was stunned for a moment.
Although Yanjiao City is already a very small city-state, there are many extraordinary people around the Good Lord who are at the fourth level of energy. They can fight against all the city-states without the fifth level of energy. And they don’t even have the chance to fight back.
"Is the gap between the fifth energy level... and the fourth energy level so big?"
Dongya murmured.
She could guess that Avas must be at the fifth level. It was like a god and a mortal.
But she did not forget to thank Aivas-
"I wish the Heavenly Division of the Heavenly Division, the Heavenly Division of the One-Taiwan, and the Heavenly Division of the Infinite Heavenly Division... May the Heavenly Division of the One-Taiwan protect you."
Dongya immediately put her tail in front of her, knelt respectfully on the ground, and knocked her head on the tip of her tail: "I wish to be your cast stone in the next life."
Avas knew that this was the highest etiquette of the snake man, symbolizing the placing himself on the ring of reincarnation.
——To put it simply, it is "to be a cow and a horse for you in the next life."
How to say...
...You're quite polite, but Avas felt uncomfortable when he heard "I wish the ring of the right hand to protect you".
"Is the next life..."
Although Avas also knew that Dongya, as a third-level priestess, knew almost nothing, he sighed and swallowed the second half of his words as respect for her faith.
——There will be no more of that kind of afterlife.
At this time, the two temple guards were so scared that they didn't even dare to move.
They pretended to be a corpse, hoping that Aivas would forget their existence - this old man was not only a descendant of their own apostles, but also an extremely powerful fifth-level superman. Even the curse that smuggled a city was as fragile as a joke in front of him...
But unfortunately, Aivas did not forget them.
Aivas glanced at them and asked, "What if you follow the rules here, what should people who disrespect me do?"
Although they obeyed their own orders, Dong Ya, who was crawling and kneeling on the ground, said without hesitation: "The punishment should be imposed."
"What is honey punishment?"
Aivas frowned, feeling novel and speechless about the various messy criminal laws in resting in peace.
The ritualist Ibn on the side explained: "It is to coat people with honey and ants, and then hang them up and dry them."
“…make jerky?”
Avas couldn't hold back.
But he found that Ibn's expression was very serious: "Yes."
"...Is it what I guess?" Aivas was shocked.
"yes."
Ibn nodded: "Although rest is relatively less lacking than water, food... but it is still difficult for civilians to obtain. This kind of 'blood candied fruit' can be sold at a high price."
"Does the resting man... regard cannibalism as common sense?"
Aivas frowned and found that he had underestimated the barbarity of the Ancient Kingdom of Ancient Silence.
When Ibn heard this, he couldn't help but show a moment of sneering pity - it was not a satire of Avas, but a pity for his past and his motherland: "Sir, this desert is not a place like Avalon and Xingying, where humans are the main body.
"Here, humans, lizard men, snake men, hawks, dwarfs, elves, trolls, goblins and even dragons...there are everything. Eating people may be a taboo, but what if you change a race? No matter it is a lizard men, hawks, snake men or trolls, they will not refuse to eat people... and trolls have always been on human recipes. All these races, trolls are always here - trolls like this "blood candied fruit" the most, and they usually pair it with the best cactus wine.
"In this desert full of sin, the elves are called 'vegetarians'. This is not a derogatory term, but a term of awe and distantness - because only the elves do not eat other races. And here... the price of fresh vegetables is extremely expensive. It is much more expensive than that of humans."
“Vegetarian? But…”
Evas suddenly reacted halfway through his speech.
——No wonder, Ibn said that this desert is not short of food.
Aivas looked at the two snake men on the ground.
They curled up together and didn't even dare to move. Even though they were discussing how to execute them and the words of the snake-eating man, they still dared not resist.
When Avas saw this scene, he felt anger in his heart, even though he was obviously offended.
Sad to his misfortune...I angered him not to fight.
The purpose of his resting was that the invitation from the Lord of the Holy Spring City to name the name made Avas curious and alert to know what monster he planned to be; the other was that he planned to prevent the arrival of Yuantiansi from causing deaths of millions of people and the chain reaction of death of this scale.
But now, Aivas suddenly understood why the cardinal stayed in peace all year round.
——Because no devotee can turn a blind eye to it.
"Since that's the case..."
Aivas glanced at the two snake men and said seriously in the unskilled ancient resting words: "I forgive them."
"yes."
Dongya did not ask Avas why she did this, nor did she question or be grateful. Instead, she accepted Avas' words as expected.
Because no matter what, the strong are always right.
They can choose compassion, erraticity, kill people, save people, die, or live. The lives, freedom, and everything of others are only swaying between their thoughts.
Here, power is better than authority. Beasts are better than love. Suns are better than beasts. Taboos are better than dusk. Hunting is better than adaptation.
