A Suffocating Feeling Like Being Coiled by a Python / The More Friends, the Better

With that, Cong Yu slowly walked into the Giant Serpent's mouth, indicating, "I will explain to His Majesty the Emperor."

"..." Doctor:"???"

Does he have that much face?

Chapter 161 A Suffocating Feeling Like a Python Coiling Around

Although I've said it many times, I still need to emphasize it again— Wind City a big city.

Although the frequency of strange attacks here is as low as in some rural town or even a village deep in the mountains.

But Wind City is indeed a modern metropolis.

The number of the Monster Group is generally considered to be ninety-nine.

They are evenly distributed around the world, using major cities as bases to radiate and spread their influence to surrounding smaller cities and rural areas.

So at first glance, it seems that the Monster Group is not enough, or rather, there are not enough "weirdos leaders".

However, this is not the case.

Once a Monster King reigns supreme in a country, the corporations of that country can move to another location to operate.

For example, Britain, Egypt, Australia, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and the five Northern Europe countries, as well as Greenland... and so on.

Well, now that you mention it, it seems like King Odin really is a very cunning guy.

He's a bit of a loner, and doesn't have many friends besides Cong Yu.

The areas mentioned above, and some others not mentioned, are already "ruled by monsters," so there is no need for Monster Group to exist there.

Even in the countries surrounding these kingdoms, the influence of the "king" would inevitably spread, so there was no need for the group to be stationed there.

In other words, it is normal for three or four groups to coexist in some "big cities".

For example, there's Central City where four or five groups are simultaneously causing trouble.

Actually, the situation in Japan is extremely special. Judging from the density of "Kings" here, the Monster Group no longer needs to be stationed here.

However, no one, including Cong Yu, suggested that the Japan Monster Group withdraw... even if that were the case, humanity would be fine.

Because Cong Yu is not human.

Do you know why?

As Cong Yu spoke, shirtless and enveloped in dark green shadows, he spoke eloquently, "The answer is grace."

"What I want is Japan that the five of us can divide up, and what we need are obedient subordinates to work for us so we can be hands-off managers."

"If the benefits provided to us by magical girls and mortals are considered 'protection fees,' then we naturally need to prove that we have provided 'protection'—"

With a brief explanation, Cong Yu raised his fair arm, and with his movement, the dark green shadows that formed the background instantly split apart.

The [Ouroboros], which had transformed into hundreds and thousands of sharp fangs, returned to its original form after its previous "condensed" state.

These dark green silhouettes of sharp blades danced in the air, wantonly cutting marks into the metal passageway, like ferocious beasts with their jaws wide open.

"Thud."

Cong Yu took a simple step, stepping over the corpse of the strange man at her feet, and approached the trembling female monster at the end of the corridor.

Of course, it's impossible to completely prevent the shoes from getting stained with green, yellow, and red blood, as well as black internal organs.

Because of this passageway, and even on both sides

The walls and the ceiling above were covered with countless mutilated corpses and bloodstains.

As Cong Yu approached, the strange woman showed a terrified expression. "You... you stay away! The Emperor will not let you get away with harming your colleagues."

Cong Yu blinked in confusion at the words of the leader of the 21st Group: "Wasn't it you who colluded with the Monster first? No... or rather, it was you."

"And when it comes to harming colleagues, how much better are you?"

As Cong Yu said this, she subtly considered the other party's actions. "You previously sent the Cockroach Monster and his henchmen to Wind City High School to their deaths."

"His strength has clearly surpassed yours, but he hasn't taken your position. Did you tell him about becoming king?"

"Now you're sending your men to block me, claiming you're going to activate a secret weapon, but actually you're planning to escape through the secret passage with your trusted men."

Cong Yu spoke slowly, shrugging, "Then your trusted confidant also died... You killed him, it has nothing to do with me."

"I am merely a knife. You pushed your men onto my blade, and now you accuse me of killing them?"

Cong Yu was making such absurd and illogical arguments that even she herself found ridiculous; she almost laughed at her own logic.

But she held back and didn't spoil the overall atmosphere.

"It's strange, I just came to ask if you knew anything about the ring, but your reaction was so intense, you were practically shouting for violence."

"..."

"..." Cong Yu narrowed her eyes.

"Could it be... that you betrayed His Majesty?"

"..."

"!!!" Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, the leader of the 21st Group's eyes widened instantly.

Fortunately, she finally arrived at the location of the secret passage after slowly moving from her slumped position on the ground.

With the touch of her magic, the metal floor instantly opened, revealing a water-filled tunnel extending underground.

"Thump!"

"..." As the other person fell into the water, Cong Yu revealed a smile that could only be described as sweet, "Haha, I guessed right."

"Tick-tock--"

The dripping blood of various colors flowed down the cracks in the walls and the floor, into the pool, gradually turning the water's surface slightly reddish.

--

"Knowing there was a secret passage, yet still so careless! Hahaha, King of Wind City! This is my escape route!"

The strange woman laughed loudly as she swam freely in the ocean, clutching her broken arm.

That's absolutely terrifying.

She was merely swept past by the swiftly moving Giant Serpent, yet her entire arm vanished instantly... Half of her leg also grazed the Snake Scales at high speed, only to be sliced into pieces by the sharp scales.

Are all the top players this strong?

Or is it that that freak is actually considered strong even in the King of Glory?

But it doesn't matter anymore!

This passage connects directly to the sea!

"Poruru pooruru--"

Bubbles rose from the strange man's gills, and his eyes gleamed with the joy of escaping death. "As long as we get there, as long as we reach that place!"

The Wind City built on a small island, and the roads connecting it to the main island of Japan are mostly by sea, except for the cross-sea bridge.

Just turn off the path ahead, and you'll reach the sea.

By then, no matter how strong that terrifying guy is, he won't be able to find her!

With that thought in mind, she twisted her body with all her might, and then... something flashed before her eyes.

"Bump!!!"

After swimming quickly around the corner, she crashed solidly into a wall, feeling completely disoriented and barely able to catch her breath.

"Wh... what?!"

Why are there walls in the secret passage?

Then, the "wall" slowly opened in front of her, revealing the Cong Yu inside.

Sorry, we are full.

Chapter 162 The More Friends the Better

"I really just came to ask about something related to this ring... If you tell me, I'll spare your life."

Cong Yu's tone was gentle, even subtly revealing a hint of kindness. "As for the rest, let the Emperor decide."

But even so...

The strange woman still felt a deep fear. She smelled death in this man.

She felt that the other person was just teasing her.

And her feeling was actually correct...

Moreover, if the Emperor were to find out about her affair, her fate would still be death... His Majesty is not so lenient as to forgive a traitor.

If I tell the truth, will you really let me go?

The strange woman said this, her voice trembling.

In response, Cong Yu nodded encouragingly. "Of course not, I was just kidding... but if you behave yourself, you'll die a more comfortable death."

"..." It was hard to tell if the strange man could keep a straight face.

"So, what's your choice?"

Cong Yu continued to inquire gently.

"..."

"This is outrageous! Since I can't escape, then I won't run away..."

May you perish in the sea!

With a furious roar, the strange man used his only intact hand to gather the surrounding water and blast it towards Cong Yu, who was trapped in the snake's mouth.

Running away is pointless; only fighting can save you!

"Wow... how brave!"

Accompanied by Cong Yu's praise, the sharp, invisible water arrow disappeared into the air just before it touched Cong Yu.

The attack from the strange creature vanished into the hazy, faint black mist when it struck the "mouth" of the Jormungandr Train.

It was as if Cong Yu had a shield in front of him that could absorb all attacks.

"Disappeared?! No... were you teleported away? So, you didn't actually exist in front of me."

This strange man was shouting loudly and saying very strange things.

It was indeed strange, because Cong Yu was simply standing in front of her at that moment, and even constantly communicating with her.

Indeed, the two were separated only by the open mouth of a Giant Serpent.

However, this created an indescribable difference between the "places" the two were in.

"Call..."

The leader of Group 21 took a deep breath; her wounds, which had been gradually healing, reopened because of the battle.

The tangled granulation tissue at the wound, upon contact with the water, brought excruciating pain that prevented me from thinking of anything else.

"It's quite remarkable that you were able to realize this under such circumstances... It's a pity you didn't use it for the right purpose."

Cong Yu made this assessment.

The strange woman smiled, preparing for a desperate fight. "I've seen similar abilities before, and although they seem insurmountable... but you have to come out before you can launch an attack!"

Cong Yu: "..."

Could it be Divine Might that you saw?

"Um, actually you could also choose to destroy the Jormungandr Train, and... I don't have that option."

As Cong Yu said this, she lightly snapped her fingers.

Then...

A strange sense of crisis instantly filled the strange woman's mind, forcing her to immediately try to turn sideways in the water to dodge the unknown attack.

"Boom--"

With a tremendous commotion, two Jormungandr appeared abruptly from the wall, charging from the upper left and upper right respectively towards the lower right and lower left.

It's like drawing an X in the air.
