A huge red python was telling the truth and swimming in a pool of viscous red liquid.
The rising steam filled the black space, and only some candles on the walls could bring slight light.
The red python squinted and clung to the bottom of the pool with some enjoyment. A white hand brushed through the ripples of the pool water and touched its scales.
The giant python did not resist. Instead, as if it was very accustomed to this kind of contact, its fingers gently touched the hard scales and wandered between the bumps.
Gradually, the giant python's movements became lighter and lighter, as if it was about to fall into a deep sleep.
This space has become quieter and quieter, and even the sound of the rippling water in the pool has weakened a lot. Maybe it's a bit strange to say this, but there is indeed a strange kind of tranquility here.
Like deathly silence.
However, the arrival of the uninvited guest caused the water in the pool to boil suddenly, disrupting the rhythm of the fingers stroking the scales.
The giant python's vertical pupils suddenly widened, revealing its terrifying golden eyes, which glowed in the bright red water.
"hiss--"
Dangerous breaths came out of the bloody mouth, and the giant python gradually floated up from the bottom of the pool.
It wasn't until we were out of the water that we could see just how big the python was.
The waist, which is as thick as a person's hug, just floated up, and the water level of the pool dropped dozens of centimeters visibly to the naked eye.
The terrifying big mouth can already swallow an adult alive before it opens to the extreme. It can be seen that this python has become very irritable because of being disturbed.
However, the kneeling man remained unmoved in the face of death so close at hand, still lowering his head.
"Pi Tong." A sweet voice came from behind the candlelight, "Good boy, come here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ferocious python actually gradually retracted its fangs. Although it still looked at the visitor with ferocious eyes, it slowly retreated to the person in the corner who was completely covered in black robes.
.
The huge snake's body couldn't completely squeeze into the man's side, so the giant python just gently put his head over.
The white fingertips stroked the cold scales again, just like touching a cat or dog.
"Tell me why you're here." The sweet voice turned cold.
"Sir Elder, a deacon died abnormally in your jurisdiction." A mechanical voice said from the mouth of the man kneeling on one knee.
"who?"
"Peccary."
"That fat man?" The voice of the person stroking the snake's head became a little surprised, "Even if I try to kill him, it takes some effort. Why didn't I receive a call for help in advance when he died? The ban was not triggered? You know?
Who killed him?"
"It has been confirmed that it is the Moon Demon."
Hearing this name, the man was silent for a moment.
"That's no wonder, but that guy hasn't done anything for two years. What is he doing this time?"
"The information that has been discovered so far is that the suspected cheese peccary relies on its strong defense and few people can threaten it, so it has acted in a high-profile manner recently and leaked one of our nodes in Tehran, allowing the Moon Demon to take advantage of it.
Opportunity."
"You idiot." A sneer came, "Do you really think the world today is so peaceful?"
Then the man's tone became a little more solemn, and he continued:
"Let your subordinates pay attention to what they do recently. The Moon Demon ranks second among the six evil demons marked in the secret society. It is not a being that is easy to mess with. If there is no word from above, you should just keep your tail between your legs for the time being."
"Yes." The kneeling man bowed his head and agreed.
"You can get out... Oh, by the way, because of the special circumstances, I don't have to blame you for entering without warning this time, but you disturbed Pi Tong, so just keep your right hand." The man said casually.
Faced with this request, the man kneeling on the ground did not hesitate at all. The short knife behind his back was already unsheathed when the voice fell. Then he held the knife in his left hand and cut off his entire right arm cleanly.
Blood was splashed, and the severed right arm was thrown directly into the air by the force of the knife, flying accurately in the direction of the giant python.
The giant python hissed with joy, tilted its head and swallowed the arm firmly into its belly.
Seeing part of his body being eaten by the other party, the kneeling man covered the bleeding wound and bowed his head in salute.
"My subordinates resign."
After saying that, his whole person disappeared in place like mist.
As he left, the waves in the pool gradually subsided, and this hidden space gradually returned to its previous lifeless tranquility.
"Moon Demon...Jiutian." The man in black robe chanted the name in the air, and then held it in mid-air.
A red talisman appeared in his hand, with golden runes outlined on it.
In the meantime, the man dipped his hand into the liquid in the pool and started writing and drawing on the talisman.
When everything was completed, the hand holding the talisman began to burst into flames, and soon swallowed up the seemingly fragile paper.
The firelight illuminated the dim illusion, illuminated the giant python savoring its blood, and also illuminated the girl's indifferent and beautiful face.

“It tastes bad.”
In the busy market, Jiutian pointed to the fried golden chickpea balls in his hand, and then pointed to the thing in Flavage's hand, "Give me a taste of your stuff."
Flavage was about to take a bite of the shawarma in his hand, when his eyes twitched when he heard Jiutian's words.
"I told you that the taste of falafel is not what you imagined, you must eat it." Flavage reluctantly handed the meat pancake in his hand to Jiutian.
"Who knows? I thought the croquettes wouldn't taste too bad no matter how I made them, but it turned out that this thing is vegan, which refreshed my understanding." Jiutian was not polite at all, taking the food from the other person's hand and biting it.
A big mouthful.
"Oh! This is delicious! What kind of meat is in it?"
"Turkey, chicken and lamb." Flavage sighed.
The "falafel" and "shawarma" Jiutian is holding in his hand at this moment are both Israeli specialty snacks. The so-called falafel is Israel's national snack. Its original name is fel, which can be directly translated as fried vegetable balls. They are both made of beans.
Made with vegetables. The locals will put them into Pita pocket bread, and then add a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables of their choice, such as cucumber slices, onion salad, tomatoes, smoked olives, etc., and then add sauces
Eat it.
Shawarma is usually called Turkish barbecue or meat pie. The chef will mix turkey, chicken, and mutton, stack them on an upright barbecue rack, and slice the delicious barbecue piece by piece when eating.
Put it down and put it into a pancake or pancake.
Watching Jiutian walking on the streets of Jerusalem, eating snacks and enjoying himself like a tourist, Flavach followed behind with a look of helplessness.
"Lord Moon God, you have been shopping for almost an hour. When are you going to meet the Holy Lord with me?" After Jiutian finished the last bite of shawarma, Flavach finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
"There's no rush." Jiutian still looked as leisurely as if he was in a hurry, "I'm here anyway, why are you still worried that I won't go see her? Besides, can't you Holy Master predict everything? Then
She must be expecting me to take a little tour of this famous city, right?"
Even if Flavatchi is lying, you will still find it.
Jiutian climbed up the stairs.
The bricks and stones under my feet were piled up no matter how long ago. A stone support wall only half a person's height blocked one side of the steps, and on the other side was an inhabited building.
Not far away, buildings with domes and square roofs stand staggered. Mosques, churches, and temples, three types of buildings representing different religions, miraculously coexist in this small city.
Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt many times by foreigners in history. Nowadays, time here seems to have been frozen. While the outside world has begun to build various new high-rise buildings with futuristic styles, there is still not a single one in Jerusalem that looks even slightly like this.
Modern architecture.
Here, history and antiquity are the main themes.
Just by looking at it in mid-air, Jiutian could feel the weight of this ill-fated city. And when he actually set foot on the ground, he was amazed by the temperament that was completely different from other modern cities.
In ancient times, humans were unable to understand various natural phenomena, so natural disasters such as thunder, lightning, fire, earthquakes, etc. were attributed to the work of ghosts and gods, which gave rise to totem belief and religion.
Later, with the advancement and development of science and technology, science flourished, but the influence of religion plummeted. This was the inevitability of the development of the times.
However, after the arrival of inheritance and the rise of evolution, religion and belief in gods became popular again, but it was just that the traditional void gods were replaced by a more specific evolver.
Jiutian himself does not believe in religion, let alone God, but out of his interest in history and culture, he still looks at the various scenery around him with interest.
It has to be said that Jiutian had a great time walking around with Flavaci, who has always lived here, as his tour guide.
But only on the surface.
Anyone who has been in contact with Jiutian knows that this person has always been famous for being evil. Once he starts doing something abnormal, it means that this guy must have some other purpose.
This moment is no exception.
Now it seems that Jiutian is very interested in Jerusalem and is visiting everywhere, but in fact, his spiritual power has already penetrated every inch of this place.
Originally, this matter was not difficult for him, but during the process, Jiutian discovered that it was extremely difficult for his mental power to expand in the land of Jerusalem, as if there was some force that had been resisting.
This matter immediately aroused Jiutian's interest, so Dangjie began to investigate in more detail.
Throughout Jerusalem, Jiutian also discovered three other evolvers with similar strength to Flavach, and there were other early stage evolvers of Baiya with lower strength, but there was no doubt that they were unable to detect Jiutian's prying eyes.
In order to better understand where this resistance came from, Jiutian landed directly in the city and began to wander around in the name of sightseeing. In fact, he had been secretly searching for the source of the power.
Jiutian's eyes were focused on the believers coming and going at the bottom of the stairs, wondering what they were thinking.
At a certain moment, he took a breath of cold air.
He suddenly realized what this power was.
It was not a means specifically targeting his mental power, but a power that every intelligent life possessed and should have been an invisible substance.
It was the same spiritual power that was so huge that it enveloped the entire Jerusalem.
