The Second Human-Serpent War
Big Black basalt Giant Serpent, like a mountain range, roamed the land, and the Snake People's war machine was once again in motion.
In the sky, a considerable number of flying serpents were scouting, emitting beams of crimson light. Anyone who was hidden would be spotted, and then the Giant Serpent controlled by the Snake People on the ground would quickly find them. The originally venomous beams would weaken and capture the discoverers, who could then be transformed into Snake People or become sacrifices.
The leaders of the Snake People also met with Old Man Yu, who had led his men to surrender. They understood that such a person was indispensable in order to end the battle as soon as possible, and that they even needed to vigorously publicize Old Man Yu's deeds in order to attract more humans to surrender and give up resistance.
In the end, only those who wielded the power of distortion became the Correctors to resist. Even the Daoists were merely the beneficiaries; if the Snake People won a great victory, the Daoists would be absorbed by Snake People and develop into Daoists with Snake People- like characteristics.
The Snake People have failed far too many times. They were driven out of the main world where they originally lived, and in this world, due to their own degeneration, they were defeated by humans. The Snake People cannot afford to lose again. Therefore, the Snake People are willing to fight with everything they have to win this battle.
Every Snake People who sacrificed their life on the battlefield was a true hero. They bravely advanced for the survival of their race, sacrificing their lives. However, in order to win this battle, they even planned to absorb the Daoist priests who desecrated the Snake People corpses afterward.
The Snake People can't afford to lose anymore!
Looking at the retreating Old Man Yu and the others, Moss III, the leader of the Snake People, who had just awakened from his slumber, thought to himself: In order to survive, humans now choose to transform into Snake People. Aren't they also seeking survival?
The Phantom Transformation Art allows one to transform into a human was not initially developed for espionage or anything like that, but rather to evade human pursuit. In fact, its most fundamental purpose was to infiltrate the human population and preserve the flame of the Snake People's civilization.
In the war for survival among races, there is no distinction between good and evil. Each race fights for its own survival, and whichever side you take, the other side is considered evil.
From a human perspective, Snake People use poison to either kill all humans, regardless of age or gender, or transform them into Snake People, forcibly altering their personalities through bloodlines. This is the epitome of evil.
But from the perspective of the Snake People, humans capture their own kind, dissect and sell the bodies of living Snake People, and desecrate these corpses that could be called heroes. Are humans evil? They are not much better than the Snake People.
Of course, if you look at it from Lu Li's perspective, there's no question of justice or evil in a fight between two groups of ants.
After several days of adaptation, the second war between humans and snakes finally began. The same routine was used: the huge basalt Giant Serpent crushed towards the city wall, but the ground in front of the city wall turned into chains that bound the Giant Serpent. At the same time as the sand, huge vines also moved.
Dark clouds swirled in the sky, and a torrential downpour began, turning the area in front of the city gate into a vast expanse of water. The next moment, an astonishing chill emanated, and the rain stopped churning, turning into layers of solid ice.
In addition, another Correctors jumped onto the solid ice and pressed down on it. A large amount of distorted energy in the air condensed, as if it had turned into a huge mountain to suppress it, but the ice surface continued to tremble.
"Not enough! I can feel them still moving! Help me!" the Correctors shouted frantically. Behind him, the Correctors no mercy, and an even more terrifying twisting power condensed, causing countless transparent mountains on the solid ice to press down upon them.
The tremors on the ice surface seemed to stop, and the giant basalt stone snakes of the Snake People seemed to have been suppressed, no longer making any movement. All the Correctors breathed a sigh of relief. What Snake People? Although they are powerful, as long as we Correctors get serious, they can be easily defeated.
But the next moment, a massive earthquake slapped these Correctors in the face once again. In another direction, a giant black basalt Giant Serpent burst forth from the ground, even making a slight leaping motion. Its enormous body slammed directly into the mountain formed by the twisting forces on the solid ice. The serpentine patterns on the basalt exerted their full power, deflecting these twisting forces.
The ice surface cracked open, and the Giant Serpent that had been trapped broke free. At the same time, another huge basalt serpent wriggled over from behind. In total, there were three giant basalt Giant Serpent, like three mountain ranges, moving simultaneously and crushing towards the city.
The Snake People are more organized than modern humans. The human alliance is too loose and has no plan for combat. The previous combo attack was just a result of concentrating forces to attack based on the Snake People's previous actions.
The Snake People are different. They understand tactics, and no one knows exactly how many Snake People spies are in the entire alliance. In particular, some Snake People use Phantom Transformation Art to create humans with very high appearances, and the Correctors live like local emperors, with habits similar to emperors. It is hard to say that they have three thousand concubines, but some are lustful and have at least thirty. There are Snake People spies mixed in, and the Daoists dare not investigate.
In short, the alliance's intelligence is like a sieve; they know exactly how they will act today and who will make the move. However, humans know very little about the Snake People; they are practically completely in the dark.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult not to lose. With three Giant Serpent pressing in, any attempts to stop them were futile. Fortunately, a significant number of the alliance's Correctors had arrived. After some were crushed to death by the Giant Serpent, they managed to use their combined power to restrain the three Giant Snake, allowing the humans in the city to retreat first. This prevented the Daoist priests, who were an asset, from being crushed by the Giant Serpent, leaving only the Correctors to fight the Giant Serpent.
Three Giant Serpent are a top-notch weapon for crushing minions, but now that the enemy minions are gone, the Giant Serpent are not very agile against the Correctors and are easy targets. The human wave tactics against the Correctors are ineffective, so a large number of Giant Serpent chariots are deployed and the two sides begin close combat.
A large number of Giant Serpent chariots attacked the Correctors. These Giant Serpent were more agile, and their bodies were engraved with snake patterns to deflect the twisting force, making it very difficult for the Correctors. The basalt Giant Serpent was so big that even if the twisting force was deflected, most of it would still hit. But these Giant Serpent, which were much smaller, became slippery.
"Damn it, why aren't those Daoist priests coming to help us yet!" one Correctors cursed. They trained the Daoist priests precisely to deal with these Giant Serpent that they couldn't handle on their own. They had been sent to retreat to protect them, but they still hadn't come.
"Stop arguing, they're not us, they can't be that fast. Look, they're here!" Another Correctors understood, but then he said with a grim face, "Can anyone tell me why so many of them are missing!"
Several Correctors swept the area and found that the number of Daoist priests who had rushed over was less than half of the original number.
