Chapter 1438: Assist
Amid the roar of Demon Flame, Lifuweize was sent flying.
The splendid robes on his body turned to ash in an instant. His hair vanished as well, and his skin was covered in severe burns.
But!
Almost immediately, a layer of skin resembling snake scales replaced the charred flesh.
Hiss, hisss!
Amid a series of snake hisses, Lifuweize's human tongue completely transformed into a forked snake tongue. As it flickered in and out, his eyes fixed on Qin Ran became a snake's vertical pupils.
"Ryan?"
Lifuweize neither roared nor shouted.
Instead, there was a trace of self-mockery in his voice.
"That's right, it should be you."
"Who else could it be but you?"
"After all, you're a 'hero'!"
When he spoke the word "hero," irrepressible mockery appeared on Lifuweize's face, which was nearly covered in snake scales.
Low laughter rose from his throat.
"Do you still hold hope for the 'gods'?"
"Don't forget the previous 'hero'!"
Lifuweize's snake eyes stared directly at Qin Ran.
"So, you pledged yourself to the Devourer?"
Qin Ran did not answer. He asked in a deep voice instead.
To make himself appear more convincing, Qin Ran deliberately narrowed his eyes.
He did not want any more emotion to show through his gaze.
Because...
This was such a pleasant surprise!
Even though he had anticipated that something might happen to the westbound convoy, Qin Ran had never expected circumstances so favorable to his plan.
Of course, to maximize the benefits.
He still needed to make a few slight "adjustments."
"Why can't I?"
"It gave me more power and gave me new choices!"
"Why can't I pledge myself to it?"
Lifuweize raised his voice.
Then, he pointed at the Harvest Temple's High Priest, who had temporarily broken free of control but was still listless.
