Chapter 277: Chapter 222 Laya’s Secret_2
“I…”
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s stern gaze, Layas involuntarily shrank back and lowered her head. She was soone who lacked confidence to begin with, and this serious question resulted in an apparent increase in her anxiety.
“I……”
However, after a mont, Layas raised her head to look at Duanmu Huai again.
“I… I want to know, I want to understand all of this, I want to find out what secret Lady Tannis is keeping from .”
“………Alright, I’ll try.”
Duanmu Huai shrugged his shoulders; it wasn’t surprising that despite Layas being a docile and sensible girl, she wasn’t naïve. Any normal person in her situation would have doubts about their origin. Perhaps Layas has long held so level of suspicion about her background, but lacked soone to share it with, so she concealed it. It wasn’t until she and Audrey saw Layas’ true form… well, anyway, this is a good ti to check.
With no effort at all, Duanmu Huai found the hidden door in the adjacent room and followed the passage to an abandoned chapel in the back. Upon opening the door, he discovered a small town hidden behind the chapel – alright, it seed that Tannis has indeed hidden sothing from Layas, especially since Layas never ntioned this place.
Exiting the chapel, Duanmu Huai quickly spotted a Lizardman standing with his back towards him near the edge of a cliff in the distance. The creature held a sword and shield, appearing guard-like in stature.
But speaking of which……
“This really is a lizard.”
Looking at the creature before him, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but comnt. He had already planned to knock it unconscious and capture it for further discussion with Tannis.
However, at that mont, an unexpected thing happened.
The lizardman soldier suddenly bent forward, seeming to stretch, and in the next instant, it grew from two ters to four or five ters in length!
“…………”
Alright, I take back my words, this is undoubtedly a Naga.
No, maybe it’s an earthworm… snakes don’t do this…
“Hiss—————!!”
The creature noticed Duanmu Huai at this mont. It opened its mouth to let out a shrill scream, coiled its body and then extended rapidly, lunging towards Duanmu Huai. It was about to swing its sword down———when it suddenly scread and fell to the ground, becoming a corpse.
“What in the world is this thing………”
Duanmu Huai silently retracted his fist and speechlessly looked at the corpse on the ground. He had assud that Layas could converse with the Nagas here, but they turned out to be just as mad as the ones outside……
Hmm, lfy once ntioned that many races had established their own civilizations…
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai imdiately contacted Bambi and instructed her to ask lfy if she had ever seen creatures that resembled lizards and could stretch their bodies significantly.
Bambi’s response ca quickly.
“Ah, that must be the Spirit Snake Tribe. lfy says they used to inhabit volcanoes, but they went silent after a while.”
“I see, thank you.”
By now, Duanmu Huai had reached a chapel situated on high ground and was staring at a statue before him. It was a stone sculpture of a being with a serpentine head and wings. It looked like an angelic statue of the Naga tribe. Which ant…Layas is actually a descendant of this race?
Or is it that Tannis, like Layas, is actually a Naga? After all, Tannis is often seen wearing a mask; one can’t tell if she chose to do so because her human form is as flawed as Layas’……Though she doesn’t seem to have a tail.
Pondering this, Duanmu Huai shook his head and pushed open the chapel door to walk in.
The chapel was filled with a crimson glow; a massive snake statue was displayed up front, and beneath it stood a character who was extrely… obese!
Yes, that was the first thought Duanmu Huai had upon seeing him.
This figure resembled an extrely obese individual he had once seen in a video; he looked like a giant ball, bulging with fat, and his limbs were short. Upon careful inspection, it seed he was wearing so strange white leathery outfit, and he had a tail.
Yes, it’s definitely a Naga.
But who knew Nagas could get this fat? Is it hibernation weight or sothing?
“Woo… woo…”
At that mont, the chubby guy noticed Duanmu Huai. He lifted his head, staring at Duanmu Huai, and his eyes lit up. Then, Duanmu Huai saw him shout and run directly towards him. And then… he “fell splat” in front of him.
Uh… what’s going on?
“Woo… woo…!!”
Just as Duanmu Huai was hesitating whether to directly smash him with a hamr, the chubby guy raised his head, tears streaming down his face, but he lowered his head again, crawling in front of him, as if worshipping Duanmu Huai as a deity.
No, although I am indeed a god, I have nothing to do with you chubby nerds!
“You… what do you an by this?”
Duanmu Huai uncertainly stared at the kneeling chubby guy and asked, to which he nodded fiercely. Then it seed he understood Duanmu Huai’s aning and Duanmu Huai then saw him stretch out his hands and lift them towards him. Following that, a black fla erged from his hands.
Isn’t this… Black Fla?
Seeing this, Duanmu Huai twitched. He certainly wouldn’t forget, after obtaining the Rune of Death, his special ability was the Black Fla. He recalled the information at the ti stated – Black Fla is the fire of the Hunting God, controlled by the nobleman serving the Predetermined Death…
… Are you that nobleman?!
Looking at the chubby guy in front of him, Duanmu Huai was speechless.
No, can’t you be more good looking?
How could the nobleman serving the Predetermined Death be sothing like you?!
Okay, from so perspective, he does look quite noble.
Especially like those evil noblen frequently appearing in ani and gas…
“Ha…”
For the sake of Predetermined Death, Duanmu Huai finally resisted the urge to knock him dead with a hamr. He rolled his eyes, sighed in resignation, and changed the topic.
“I’m searching for a Naga… know of it? A young girl Naga who can transform into a human… her na is Zelayas…”
“Woo… woo…”
The chubby guy appeared to understand Duanmu Huai’s words, he nodded, then turned around leading Duanmu Huai to the altar in front of the church. Subsequently, he respectfully took sothing from the altar and handed it to Duanmu Huai.
What is this?
Duanmu Huai accepted it uncertainly, scrutinizing it. It looked like so kind of transparent organ, and there was a small gap visible within. It looked as if sothing small had once lived there, but it was now gone.
At the sa ti, a system notification appeared before Duanmu Huai’s eyes.
[Snake’s Amnion obtained]
[Snake’s Amnion: It’s a discarded object from a horrifying birth ritual, an amnion which had wrapped around it inside the mother’s body. Regardless of the passage of ti, it remains moist and never dries.]
“Um… so… did Layas born from it?”
Looking at the thing before him, Duanmu Huai had no idea what to say.
But wait a mont.
If he rembered correctly, aren’t snakes oviparous animals?
Only viviparous creatures have the amnion, right!
Isn’t an eggshell more credible than this?!?
No matter how it is… for the ti being, he should take it back and show it to Layas.
