Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 203: Amulet

Catherine looked at her hand that had been bitten by Alan. First, she frowned. Then, as if she had discovered something, she put it under her nose and sniffed. Finally, she asked in surprise, "Have you drank the King Snake's blood?"

Alan was soaked in snake blood and drank a little, but not much. Most importantly, the Devil's Praise had directly extracted the essence of snake blood from his pores and injected it into his body. He didn't have to explain all this and nodded as an answer.

"So that's how it is. Could it be that you have a second type of Origin Energy with different attributes? That should be the King Snake's power that hasn't been completely digested yet?" Catherine stood up and said.

The killing intent on her body disappeared.

Ellen thought to herself, "You said it yourself. This way, she wouldn't suspect the Devil's Praise." Ellen secretly rejoiced that if Catherine hadn't sealed off his intention to draw his saber, the devil would have praised him, and he would have gone all out against an opponent of Catherine's level. At that time, he couldn't hide anything.

This was a different situation.

Catherine circled around him three times and said, "No wonder your taste is different from others. I'm surprised that a weak fellow like you shouldn't have any killing intent. So it was the King Snake's blood. I never thought that you would succeed in what I've always wanted to do."

"What do you want to do?" Ellen was confused.

"Kill the snake and drink the blood." Catherine said succinctly.

"You want to kill the king snake? You're not "

Katherine sat back on the sofa and crossed her legs, "I used to live on the surface. One year, the Black Twilight Snake attacked our village. A lot of people died, including my parents. At that time, I was still young and was captured by the king snake along with a few other children who were older than me. Strangely enough, it didn't kill us. Instead, it gave us food. Of course, you don't have to expect a dangerous seed to roast meat or bread for you. But at least we survived. "

Katherine's experience was different from Allen's, as well as that of dangerous species.

After being caught in the snake nest, there was once an older child who wanted to escape, but after that, he was caught by the king snake. The result was either to slap it to death or to throw it directly into its stomach. The rest of the children did not dare to take such notice again, and there would be a boy and two girls besides Catherine, who were much older than Catherine. There was nothing unusual in the first two or three years until the boy disappeared at the age of fifteen.

The next year, it was another girl. Catherine quickly knew that it was not a disappearance, but for the Black Twilight King Snake to eat.

King snakes raise them like inferior poultry and eat them when they reach adulthood. When the third girl was eaten, Catherine was the only one left in the snake nest. She knew what she had to do, otherwise when she reached adulthood, it would be hard for her to escape from the snake's mouth.

Catherine began to observe the king snake's habits, practicing hunting her own prey. Everything proceeded according to her plan. Until Lu Sen's arrival, completely disrupted her plan.

"Russen killed the king snake, and spilled snake blood all over the ground, that's a waste. At that time, I only lay on the ground and drank two mouthfuls, and then I took it away for him. However, don't think that he was being kind. If it weren't for the fact that I ignited the fire seed and made great strides in Origin Energy and battle techniques, I would have eventually become a major general of the Federation. Then the best outcome would be for Russen to give me to a man with some hobbies. "Katherine looked at Allen and said," Obviously, you've absorbed snake blood, and your body has shown some signs of evolution. "But don't think that the King Snake's blood has only this little effect."

"I know, they can extend their lifespans." Alan nodded.

Catherine smiled. "It seems like you really don't know that the Black Twilight King Snake is a very special kind of dangerous species." Even though I've seen and heard about it in the Outer Realm for so many years, there isn't a single dangerous species that can compare to it. The specialty of the Black Twilight King Snake was not its soul-seducing power, nor was it that its blood could prolong its lifespan and promote local evolution of life forms. What is truly extraordinary about it is its nature, its evolution. "

'This almost unlimited evolution should come from the most primitive genes. Just like an ordinary snake molt, a king snake instinctively chooses to evolve in order to adapt to its environment. This allows it to survive in almost any known harsh environment.'

Catherine sighed. "Of course, I didn't know this before. I didn't know until I joined the death spread and saw some experimental reports. Unfortunately, there aren't many mutants like the Black Twilight King Snake left. I'm afraid there are only three or so left on Earth."

She rolled her eyes and looked at Ellen, "You who drink snake blood will gradually have the characteristics of a king snake." That's why I judged you to be in danger, and once Russen finds out about this news, I think he will risk everything to drain your blood. Obtaining your blood is no different from obtaining the King Snake's blood. "You don't know that he still regrets killing that snake that captured me."

"What do you want to do to me?"

"I don't know yet. Anyway, it's rare to meet someone who drank the King Snake's blood. I also want to see what will happen to you in the future." Catherine shook her head.

Allen thought that perhaps she was assessing the dangers and benefits of drinking snake blood. Katherine would never allow herself to live if her judgment brought her great benefits. However, it would take time to assess, and Alan would also need time.

"You can leave now." Katherine stretched and jumped off the sofa. "Remember to tamper with the Fiery Rifle. It's best to delay. Your teacher should be back at the interstellar line in a few days, and you'll have a chance of escaping. And don't tell anyone about the snake blood, if you don't want to be thrown into the lab."

"Thank you for your advice, Major General." "If there's nothing else," said Alan, "I'll take my leave."

"Yes." Catherine nodded.

Alan walked out of the door and Catherine's voice floated out, "If Russen asks about tonight, tell him you don't know anything."

After saying this, the automatic door closed completely.

When they left the officer's dormitory, the guard looked at Alan in astonishment, obviously wondering why he could come out alive. Alan only felt that the situation was complicated now. He was walking along the road, thinking about the next step in his mind. Suddenly someone called out his name and looked up at Lucy.

The girl's hair was blonde and her spirits were as vigorous as usual. Her status was noble, and even in the stronghold where death spread, Russen still had to treat the above guests, not daring to neglect them. Lucy was much better off than Alan. She trotted up a few steps and grabbed Ellen's hand. "I went to the workshop to look for you just now, but your assistant said you left long ago. Where did you go?"

"It's a long story." Alan smiled bitterly.

Lucy raised her eyebrows. "What, is that old man making things difficult for you? Why don't I tell him to let us go back and he won't dare to say no?"

"No, don't do that." Alan shook his head. Lucy had a special identity, but this wasn't Ada. If Lucy were to be angered, it wouldn't be difficult for the old general to kill Lucy with his black hands. If this matter were to fall on Windsor Belo afterwards, it would be a fatal blow to Marshal Greed.

Lucy didn't think as much as Ellen, but she wasn't stupid either. Of course, she knew that she could only talk. If Russen really cared about her identity, he wouldn't have dared to brag about the important people of Blood Eagle Base that day. On the one hand, she didn't want to separate from Alan, and on the other hand, she hoped that Russen would be more or less afraid of her identity and wouldn't dare to mess around with Alan.

"The situation here is very complicated. Fortunately, we have an ally now. For the time being we are still reliable." Alan whispered.

"Who is it?" Lucy asked curiously.

Alan whispered in her ear, "Catherine."

"That black and white head?" Lucy said, "How could she Wait, she's not into you, is she?"

Ellen didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "I like it, but it's not what you think."

'"That woman is uneasy," said Lucy, her eyes sparkling with joy, as she took a brief look at Catherine and her encounter and the secret of her bloodbath in the King's Serpent's blood.

"I know. The only people I can trust here are you and William." Alan, be honest.

Lucy smiled and said, "I would be even happier if the last sentence had been removed."

"Then what are your plans now?" She asked.

"Drag." Alan said, "Like Catherine said, until my teacher comes to ask for someone from Russen." I don't know what kind of support Russen and the others have, but they actually didn't break through with Sirius at all. But if the teacher comes, Russen will have to let us go unless he wants to start a war between the old and the new parties. "Before that, Catherine was our half amulet."

Lucy nodded and said, "Where the hell is your teacher?"

"It seems that I went to Dark Star to meet the Rose Empress."

A bolt of lightning flashed through the layers of clouds, causing the heavens and earth to instantly turn snow white. Lightning flickered, and Windsor Belo's ebullient face appeared and disappeared in the dim light. The strong winds howled, and the heavens and earth were filled with killing intent. This was a dark planet. Even in the daytime, the surface of the dark star was extremely dim. Moreover, it was night, and he couldn't see the king's finger.

Apart from the occasional lightning bolts that flashed across the sky and occasionally brought some rare light to the ground, there was no natural sky light.

Every time the thick lightning snake shuttled through the clouds with high voltage currents, the ground would occasionally be exposed to alternating black and white colors. In that brief light, Windsor Belo could be seen proudly standing at the top of a steep mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there were a dense number of strange creatures swarming up the mountain. However, halfway up the mountain, they did not dare to continue forward. It was as if there was an invisible boundary there, and if one crossed it carelessly, it would bring disaster to them.

Another bolt of lightning swept past Windsor Belo's head, and the marshal's robe flew in the gale. She could be seen holding an extremely long heavy sniper in her right hand. This heavy sniper was almost the same height as her. Light patterns appeared on the surface of the spear. The patterns were beautiful and mysterious, and the Origin Energy flowing through them was so strong that it was even more shocking. This was a weapon that resembled a cannon with too many heavy snipers. Naturally, it was Windsor Belo's Origin Tool, the Endless Battery!

Holding the Boundless Cannon Fort, Windsor Bellow raised her voice and said, "Smoker, get out of here if you dare! You call yourself the King of Garner, and you will only send this cannon fodder to your death?"

Marshal Greed's voice was not necessarily very sharp and loud, but it echoed continuously among the peaks, spreading for thousands of kilometers.
