The first person to test was Hodney, and his voice successfully attracted the other party's attention.
But when the man's upper body stood up, Victor's steps forward were instantly halted.
It was a long neck, covered with dark green scales, and the top of the head was bare and hairless, which looked really weird.
At least, Victor doesn't think this guy is a human being.
Sure enough, it turned around. Its bare chest resembled that of a human male, but the head on its neck was as sharp as a triangle. Its pupils stretched into a vertical slit, dividing its amber eyes into two.
It was a snake head, growing on a human-like body. It was not the owner of the tuxedo, because the owner of the tuxedo had been crushed under it, leaving only half of the eaten body.
Victor and the other three suddenly felt their scalps go numb. Hodney subconsciously touched his waist, but then he remembered that he had not brought the gun with him because he was going to the party.
Lianlong took two steps back. Only Victor took out a fire spell and looked warily at the snake-headed monster in front of him.
The monster discovered the three humans behind it and opened its mouth full of blood. The teeth inside were not the two slender fangs of snakes, but two rows of fangs growing along the mouth.
It spat out the letter, and the skin on its chest changed color in an instant. The color that was originally like human skin was flipped over, and there were strange scales on the back. The lines on each side looked like a human face, covering the snake's head.
The whole body of the monster.
The monster did not attack immediately, but roared diagonally upwards, making some weird, lizard-like sound.
Victor took action at this time, throwing a fire spell and hitting the monster's neck, directly blowing away its snake head.
As the monster died in Victor's hands, there was a commotion underneath the cliff behind it.
The dense bushes began to sway constantly, and things coming from all directions were converging towards this cliff.
Li Anlong realized something and hurriedly called everyone to run away.
As he finished speaking, a snake-headed monster rushed out of the woods and instantly climbed up the cliff, clinging to the rock like a gecko.
Then, the second snake-headed monster also rushed out and climbed up the cliff following the movements of the previous one.
More and more snake-headed monsters rushed out of the woods and climbed up the cliff. The spectacle was so shocking that the three people above were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.
It turns out that the snake-headed man's cry before his death was calling his kind!
"Run!"
Rianlong reminded Victor for the second time, and the latter reacted and ran away immediately.
The three of them ran along the cliff. The snake-headed man behind them rushed up the cliff and rushed towards them like a wave.
Fortunately, the escape route was rugged and rocky, and there were many narrow gaps that could be squeezed into. Through these obstacles, the pursuing smugglers were severely delayed.
Victor also used the fire spell to blow up a cliff, causing the rocks to block the narrow passage, and finally separated the two sides, allowing them to successfully survive this danger.
After running forward for a while again, Hodney found a place with a wide view to stop, and they finally had a chance to breathe.
"Do you know what those snake people are?" Victor asked the learned Lianlong while sitting on the smooth rock.
Before Rianlong could answer, Hodney suddenly interrupted.
"Did you see the flag?"
His question was incomprehensible, and Victor was surprised: "What flag?"
"Yes, just those snake-headed men just now. After they rushed out of the woods, I saw a monster holding a flag... red!"
The monster actually raised the flag... This is really a strange thing. Anyway, Victor did not find the snake-headed man Hodney mentioned.
From previous observations, Victor believed that they should be like animals that live in groups, acting collectively to hunt prey.
You can raise the flag...
This is more like a well-trained ancient soldier.
"They should be the legendary Lingqi Legion..." At this time, Li Anlong, who had calmed down his breathing, finally spoke.
"What? The Flag Army?" Victor was shocked by his conjecture just now. He didn't expect that Li Anlong's speech really confirmed this conjecture.
The latter continued: "The country where Mount Baptistin was located in ancient times was called Olympia, and it was located in what is now the Republic of Jupiter. Their citizens believed in the same god as the later republics - Sarnus, the god of agriculture, and
Now it seems that Olympia is not a strong and wealthy country."
"Legend has it that a certain king of Olympia and his queen gave birth to a monster with a head and a body, called the Sloppy Duke."
"The Sloppy Duke has seven powerful legions under his command, which were given to him by Sarnus, the god of agriculture. He uses the flag as a means of command."
"The third legion among them is described as a snake demon with a python head and body, and each of their scales has a human face carved on it."
A few simple sentences explained the origins of the snake-headed monsters they encountered.
According to Rianlong, although they are monsters, they are still legions under command and do not act based on instinct.
In this way, it is confirmed that this world is really the ancient kingdom of Olympia...
That long-dead country...
But why does Miria want to trap them here?
"Wait a minute, so... that king is actually a human?" Hodney suddenly became curious.
Li Anlong looked at him and nodded slightly.
So next, Hodney questioned the logical question in this legendary story: "Well... since it is a human being, why did it give birth to a monster with a head and a body of a minotaur? Also, was this country destroyed by the Sloppy Duke? Was it destroyed?
What was destroyed by the legions he summoned? As the god of agriculture worshiped by humans, why did he reward a monster with a head and a body of a bull and seven legions?"
The story explained by Rianlong was indeed too simple and contained many logical illogicalities, but his subsequent answers opened the eyes of Hodney and Victor.
"The Sloppy Duke did not destroy Olympia, and his father did not regard him as an enemy. On the contrary, they were actually on the same front, because Olympia needed to face a more powerful enemy at that time... For this, the king needed the power of the Sloppy Duke
, and those seven legions were also given to the Sloppy Duke by the God of Agriculture to resist the powerful enemy who was about to arrive at Mount Baptistin..."
"An enemy from outside, is it a war? Olympia is at war with an enemy country?" Victor listened to the two people's speeches and joined the discussion himself.
"It's not that...the only one they have to resist is an extraordinary person who will be passed down to later generations and is called the 'Living God'."
Living God?
Victor felt it sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
Then, Li Anlong read out the name of the mysterious extraordinary being.
"Yes, his name is Shivers..."
Shivers?!!
Victor remembered that when he met Elold at that time, the other person said that his purpose was to find the manuscript left by Shivers, what was it called... a sermon.
As this memory was ignited, Victor remembered again. When he was in Turbulent Castle, Ratomund had also roped in Victor to join him, and revealed his purpose, which was to search for information in the information room of the Defense and Suppression Department.
