"Let's continue with the topic just now... You said you don't need to ask?" said the Duke.

"Yes, no need." Redstone replied decisively. "Your request is like a story, an ancient story, a greedy and immortal chieftain eventually..."

"I have heard those stories. I want to ask, can this kind of natural spirit do this?" said the Duke. "Give humans eternal life?"

"I don't know. But I think..." Redstone hesitated for a while. "It should be possible."

"This is just an academic discussion... Can humans threaten the spirit of nature? In some legends I have heard that I don't know the truth or falsehood, humans can often use, well, less brilliant means to threaten those supernatural beings, thereby gaining wealth, strength and even longevity for themselves."

"But even in these stories, this approach is very dangerous." Redstone replied. "The cost of failure is heavy."

"Of course it's very dangerous, because it means facing creatures that are far stronger than humans... In fact, it's not appropriate to describe them as strength and weakness. They should be said to be higher creatures that exceed the level of human life." The Duke said. He stopped again and looked at the empty wall in surprise.

...

Zhang Cheng looked at the oil painting in front of him.

If this oil painting is framed, it is about one person tall, and it is a garden with flowers competing for beauty. I don’t know whether the painting is good or not. Anyway, it’s just that for an outsider like Zhang Cheng.

"This is it?" Zhang Cheng asked the warm sheep in his arms. It is convenient to have Bai Ze. He doesn't have to worry about any decryption game, but he goes directly to the finish line. Zhang Cheng originally thought that a helicopter would pick him up, but he didn't expect that this would be the way.

That's right, this is a gathering in the magic world, and it's normal to use magical methods.

It’s just that using this magic method on a demonless earth... is still very rare.

Zhang Cheng took out a "relieve magic" and released the power in the card. The next moment, the color of the surface that was originally covered on the painting faded away with the magic, and a dark hole appeared on the surface of the painting.

The garden where flowers are full of beauty has long disappeared, replaced by a large hole. You can vaguely see some human bones and dried blood at the entrance of the hole, as if they have been bitten by some animal. When you stare at it and look carefully, you can feel the cold wind blowing out of it, making your spine cold. As a painting, this thing is really thrilling. But you can't deny that it is indeed a very excellent work.

Zhang Cheng walked a few steps back. This was a corner on the cruise ship... It was originally used to hold a cocktail party. This kind of place needed some paintings to improve its own level. If you want to say it, almost no one came here. Now only Zhang Cheng and Xiao Yatou are here.

Zhang Cheng took out a card from his pocket, and the lizardman's body gradually appeared in the void.

If the bear appears, it should be able to handle everything, but Zhang Cheng knows that the bear's power has increased to a level beyond the limit of the material world, which means that it will feel very uncomfortable for the outside world. Therefore, it is necessary not to appear.

The little girl quietly covered her mouth with her hands so that she would not shout out loud. This was the first time she watched Zhang Cheng summon his subordinates.

She first saw Yan Bi, but she had seen Huai Yi. This Huai Yi looked completely different from that of ordinary people, regardless of his expression.

A smell of fishy smell spread around. After the magic that covers the appearance was eliminated, the oil painting not only revealed its true face, but also emits this smell. The oil painting that she could detect was still a solid wall behind it. The smell came from the hole in the painting, which means that the hole in the painting was directly connected to an unknown space.

There was a slight rustling sound from nowhere.

Zhang Cheng stepped back, Yan Bi walked up and stared at the painting for a while.

The rustling sound was not obvious at first, but it became clear in a few seconds. And the sound brought a severe disgusting feeling.

For a while, the little girl felt an illusion that the body was covered with poisonous snakes. However, this time Zhang Cheng blessed her several spiritual and physical defense spells, so the illusion was not strong. The little girl shook her head vigorously and got rid of the illusion that came from somewhere.

Yan Bi reached out to touch the painting. A green gas with a foul smell spurted out from the hole, spraying him right away.

Ordinary humans probably had already been hit, but for the legendary swordsman, it was no different from smelling a stinky fart. Yan Bi pulled out his sword in shame, but he didn't have time to do anything. The hissing sound had already come from the hole in the painting. A gray tongue as thick as a human waist shot out from it, entangling Yan Bi's waist extremely accurately.

The lizardman raised his hand holding the sword, and light burst out from the sword inexplicably. It seemed as dazzling as the sun, making people unable to look directly. When the light dimmed, when Zhang Cheng and the little girl could see things normally, their tongues had broken and two pieces fell on the floor. Yan Bi looked at the creatures in the cave angrily.

It was a snake, or it should be a giant python that had become a mummy. At this moment, most of its body was still hidden in the hidden cave of the oil painting, but its head had already emerged from it. The pair of gray-white eyes filled with death stared at the legendary swordsman in front of them. The looming half of the body was covered with strange and sacred symbols. But it was more like a pattern formed naturally as the scales grew.

With the appearance of the giant python, the air seemed to be frozen. Although the little girl could still remain awake, she was wrapped in an inexplicable sense of panic, as if the deepest darkness would immediately descend. These feelings drove humans to turn around and escape backwards. If it weren't for the magic that protected her spirit before, the little girl would undoubtedly have done so. But she chose to restrain this impulse and grabbed Zhang Cheng's neck of her clothes with her hands beside Zhang Cheng.

"A snake?" Zhang Cheng was a little surprised.

"This is a divine creature." A spiritual signal came. Zhang Cheng gently touched the card "Twisted God" in his hand. The bear was also by his side. Although the bear did not want to come out of the card, he could still sense things within a certain range around him. "If it was in that world, it should be... a pet or minion of a god. Of course, it would be difficult to judge on the earth."

"Why do gods need snakes to be followers?"

"Oh, as far as I know, it's like why humans on Earth wear ragged clothes and pants, and regard them as trendy. This is a cultural phenomenon. For a time, snakes were considered interesting by the gods, and very trendy and good decorations. Many gods wear snakes on their ears as accessories. Yu Qiang, have you seen them?"

Zhang Cheng still remembers the scene of the three great sea gods besieging Ao Guang. Especially Yu Qiang, with two green snakes hanging on his ears and two red snakes under his feet.

From this point of view, it seems normal to have a snake here - although it is a zombie snake.

In addition, in terms of divine creatures... the snake feels very much like the fish spirit Zhang Cheng has seen before. It has similar spiritual pollution energy. Is this a manifestation of divine nature?

However, if it is an undead creature, then Zhang Cheng has another subordinate who can appear.

The little girl looked nervously at the lizard man in front of her confronted the zombie snake, and she did not expect a black shadow beside her to pass by. She was shocked. Although it was covered by a hood, she still noticed the white skeleton under the hood.

In addition, although there is magic protection, the fearful aura still has a certain impact on her. She was close to Zhang Cheng, wondering why so many inexplicable things emerged in this seemingly normal earth world.

Gong Bo also observed the oil painting for a while. Then, with his hand, the fire of the Blue Wizard Master suddenly rose and two demon soul corpses jumped out. The Yanbi attracted the attention of the Snake of Death, and the two demon soul corpses rushed up one left and one right. The demon soul corpses easily crossed the invisible barrier, grabbed the snake, and pulled it out of the painting.

The Snake of Death struggled desperately and twisted his body. Unfortunately, its power was ineffective in the face of these same undead creatures. The specific environment of the earth made it unable to cast spells, and the rest became a confrontation of power.

But power confrontation is the worst for it. The dark lichs have undead creatures under them.

The space in this place is large enough, so Gong Bo summoned a zombie dragon and some other messy things.

A bunch of undead creatures pressed the snake tightly on the ground. Especially the zombie dragon, which completely suppressed it with its huge weight and sharp claws. After the snake was completely unable to move, Gong Bo walked forward and gently pointed it on its head with his hand.

The special existence of the undead creature has the nature of not being able to withstand two tigers in one mountain. The upper undead creatures can control the lower undead creatures, and if the undead creatures of the same level face to face, they will also distinguish between superiors and inferiors. In fact, only those higher-level intellectual beings can avoid the influence of this nature. And this snake does not look like a wise thing no matter how you look at it.

The Death Snake surrendered in front of the Dark Lich. The dark Lich waved his hand and the blue marquis fire rose. Undead creatures of all sizes disappeared. The originally hostile Immortal snake lay weakly in front of the Lich. Now it discovered that it could actually change its size. In the end, it turned into a small snake, held by the Lich in his hand.

The lich turned his head, and a green soul fire flashed in the white skull. The little girl was so scared that she hid directly behind Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng also took out a blank card. The blue flames burned the body of the Snake of Death and turned into a brand new card.

Death Snake: In all realms, gods often keep pets or followers like ordinary things, and this type of creature will basically be raised by gods and even given some special powers. These creatures with a little power of gods are called divine creatures. Although this snake has become an undead for some reason, its divine nature gives it a strong tolerance for external attacks, which makes it far more dangerous than it seems. As long as it is a normal creature, it cannot resist its poison. Expenses: 2 magic power/1 sacred, attack 1/15 (bite/poison), life 8 (normal), characteristics: undead, divine, and highly poisonous.

There is a line of small words below the card: "It can still swallow prey, and it is extremely terrible to be slowly digested in the womb of the snake of death."

This snake looks like this. When it becomes smaller, it can attack sneakily, and when it becomes larger, it can try to devour the enemy. Well, it is not as good as a zombie dragon. So Zhang Cheng left it to Gong Bo.

The little girl saw so many strange things appear and disappear, especially the snake and the zombie dragon. She wanted to ask, but she knew that this was not the time to speak.

After the snake was turned into a card by Zhang Cheng, the final magic power in the oil painting was also lost. It turned into a black door, leading to an unknown space. Zhang Cheng called Hu Chen out, took Yan Bi and Gong Bo back the card, and then headed over there.

One step past it becomes a completely unfamiliar place.

The surrounding area has become a place with gorgeous decoration and brilliant lights. This is a hall with carpets stuck to the insteps of people's feet, crystal chandeliers above the head, murals hanging on the walls that even laymen think are very stylish, and sculptures in the corners are extraordinary artistic standards.

Above the head is a dome tilted downward from the center, with painted on it. In the middle of the large and small patterns, there is a big snake hovering and biting its tail. This should be considered an wetrosnake, which is a very common concept in the field of mysticism.

However, this snake biting its tail also has something strange. The snake's appearance is simply outlined with simple lines, which is a simple sketch. This contrasts with the exquisite paintings of other parts of the mural, and seems to imply something.

The little girl was surprised and took out a compass. The compass kept spinning.

Looking around again, I realized that it was not simple. The whole hall was brightly lit, but I couldn't see even a window. However, at the end of the distance, there was a door. But that door looked more like a painting on a wall.

They came out of a painting on the wall. It seemed that this painting was a portal?

However, there are considerable numbers of paintings of all sizes around. Even if you don’t mention those smaller ones, just those paintings that are qualified as doors, there are as many as 18. Does each painting lead to a place?

And these eighteen paintings are all different. In fact, let alone other paintings, they can't tell the difference. If it weren't for Bai Ze's special ability, you wouldn't know that there is such a usefulness behind this thing.

"A transit station." Hu Chen had knowledge. Although he didn't understand anything else, he could recognize this environment. "I'm afraid this is not a secular space."

Suddenly, the door ahead of them opened, and the two walked in one after another.

The leader Zhang Cheng knew that he was not someone else, but the magician Martin. He left the United States by car together and had some friendship. Later, he met in a small theater and forced Zhang Cheng to perform magic on his behalf.

"It's here..." Martin was saying something, but when he looked back, he saw Zhang Cheng. He was shocked. "Zhang Cheng? Why are you here?"
