Chapter 660 - 588: Fu Teng’s Hometown
Xue Yinzhou dealt with all these mutant plants.
Those vines seemed to possess a certain intelligence, recognizing that these two were not to be trifled with. They receded like a tide, fearfully hiding on the side and pretending to be dead.
But there were still many poisonous insects and snakes lying in wait, ready to take a bite at any moment.
Xue Yinzhou waved his hand, and black fog spread out. Looking at her, he said, "Tangtang, take out the necklace I gave you earlier."
Shen Tang retrieved a necklace from her space. The cord of the necklace was silver-white, woven from Xue Yinzhou’s hair.
The hair in the Snake Clan’s human form is actually transformed from scales, making it extremely tough. Very few sharp weapons can cut through it, especially the scales of a Primordial Beast Tier Snake Beastman.
And in the middle of the necklace hung a nearly palm-sized silver-white scale, with colored arcs of light emanating from its edges, remarkably beautiful, with a hint of strong and unfathomable power.
Originally, Xue Yinzhou had rudely and abruptly given her the scale by pulling it off directly. Later, realizing it was inconvenient to wear, he made it into a necklace for Shen Tang, making it easy to carry around.
However, Shen Tang cherished it greatly and rarely wore it, usually keeping it in her space.
Those pollutants were extremely afraid of the power of "devouring." Initially, they sought to bully what they perceived as weak. They eyed Shen Tang covetously, but after she donned the scale necklace, they retreated more than a hundred meters away, not daring to approach.
Xue Yinzhou held Shen Tang with one arm, letting her sit on his arm while his lower body transformed into a serpentine form, slowly winding forward through the swamp.
The swamp concealed many dangers. People unfamiliar with this place could easily fall into traps. Xue Yinzhou had spent some time in Acid Fog Swamp before and was quite familiar with the terrain.
Just then, many colorful poisonous snakes darted out from the jungle. However, unlike the previous vines, these snakes did not seem to intend to attack; instead, they prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing submission.
Xue Yinzhou’s eyes turned into dark purple vertical pupils. His cold, powerful gaze swept over the snakes, flickering his tongue.
The poisonous snakes quickly dispersed, only to return one after another.
The air was filled with hissing sounds.
Xue Yinzhou received the information and translated it to a confused Shen Tang, "I conveyed Fu Teng’s information to them. Some of the snakes have seen Fu Teng. Let’s go to Fu Teng’s birthplace and take a look."
"Alright."
The two arrived at a secluded and quiet valley. The environment here wasn’t much different from other places, except for a gigantic pit.
It looked as if something had been forcibly uprooted, and it was particularly deep, as if the roots and soil had been taken away together.
Shen Tang couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, envisioning the scene where Necro directly uprooted Fu Teng, understanding why Fu Teng detested him so.
After some effort, they leveled the pit and retrieved the gray-green seed from the space, planting it again.
Shen Tang placed her hands before her chest and softly prayed,
"I hope you can return this time."
"I need you."
...
As for the rebel army, though most people had superficially shown submission, in secret, they had been committing wrongdoings for so many years. How could they really quietly become good citizens?
Even if the leading troop commander wasn’t there, among them were many powerful Beastmen, fully capable of electing a new leader!
As long as they could break free from the control of the Night Glow Empire, with their strength, they wouldn’t lose to other countries, fully qualified to establish themselves as rulers!
Initially, the rebel army was bewildered and caught off guard. But after half a month, they slowly regained their senses. Their inner ambitions inflated once more, stirring restlessly.
At this point, just one person needed to take the lead to quickly form a small group, eventually expanding into a large faction, capable of stirring up a rebellion in a short period.
Xiao Jin stationed himself here precisely to prevent these resurrecting forces.
Although North was the commander of the rebel army, he was distinctly different from the previous commanders. He lacked strong ambitions; his loyalty was solely to Necro. Now, he simply fulfills Necro’s wishes, bringing the rebel army to submit to the Empire, aiding in suppressing these rebellious forces.
Seeing that they couldn’t win him over, the Beastmen resented North, as his presence affected a significant portion of the rebel army, making them hesitant to rebel easily. Thus, those intending to revolt harbored hatred towards him, plotting to eliminate him clandestinely.
