Chapter 53 - Yamata-No-Orochi
Chapter 53: Yamata-No-Orochi
Chen Feng’s expression did not look too good.
Although he did not know what was hidden in the white fog, he could tell from the sudden stop of shouting…
All the people on the wooden boat were dead!
“What’s in the white fog?”
Chen Feng gripped his staff tightly, constantly on guard against his surroundings.
Before entering the white fog, he had used his mental power to roughly sense it.
The Awakened who had the guts and qualifications to come to this coast were at least level 20 and above. Moreover, they were all in small groups.
Such a powerful team had been killed by the thing in the white fog in just a few seconds?
Sakurai Longzi and Pu Yunmo’s expressions also turned solemn as they prepared for battle.
Only Blake…
This man was from British MI6. He was 1.87 meters tall, and his face was pale. He looked like he could faint at any moment.
“Not feeling well?” Chen Feng asked curiously.
Blake’s back was pressed against the edge of the small wooden boat. He could barely keep his eyes open. He shook his head, shivering.
“Afraid?” Chen Feng asked again.
This time, Blake nodded slightly.
Chen Feng was immediately rendered speechless.
Even a girl like Sakurai Longzi wasn’t so afraid.
You’re a 1.87-meter tall, muscular man, but you’re so scared after entering the fog?
Chen Feng began to doubt Blake’s cowardice.
Could they really take on the role of the main tank?
Don’t tell me… he fainted when he was trying to resist the attack.
Bang!
Just as Chen Feng was questioning Blake, another deafening sound came from ahead.
A gust of wind blew, mixed with a stench that made one nauseous.
“Snake!”
As Chen Feng covered his mouth and nose, the image of a snake appeared in his mind.
He was one hundred percent sure that the stench that filled the air earlier came from the snake.
When Chen Feng was young, his family lived in the countryside. They often went to the fields to dig out snake nests, so the smell was still fresh in his memory.
“Sakurai Longzi, in that legendary story of yours, was there anything about snakes?”
“No.” Sakurai Longzi shook her head.
However, she hesitated for a moment before saying,
“However, in our Japanese mythology, there is another one related to snakes. You should have heard of it before. It’s called… the Yamata-No-Orochi!”
The moment she said that, everyone’s expression changed.
If the monster in the white fog ahead was the Yamata-No-Orochi, that would be bad news.
The Yamata-No-Orochi was a terrifying monster in Japanese mythology. It was a powerful snake demon that could bring disaster. It had the terrifying appearance of eight heads and eight tails, and it even contained a legendary sword.
It was said that the Yamata-No-Orochi would bring terrible disasters to the human world. Every year, it would eat countless people as a sacrifice. In the end, it was only killed after Susanoo got drunk with alcohol.
There was another point that matched perfectly. It was where Yamata-No-Orochi appeared.
It was also the Japan Sea!
“Help!”
Not far ahead, there was another cry for help. It was a woman’s pitiful voice.
Ever since Chen Feng entered the white fog, the surface of the sea, which had always been extremely calm, was no longer stable. There were violent ripples.
The boat that they were on was also shaking with the waves.
“Hiss-Hiss-”
The hissing sound seemed to linger in everyone’s ears.
Several voices sounded at the same time.
This meant that there was more than one snake monster.
Or… this snake monster has more than one mouth, like the Yamata-No-Orochi.
Either way, it was not something Chen Feng wanted to see.
Under the swaying of the waves, an invisible force pushed against the boat, increasing its speed.
“The location where the loud noise came from was about two hundred meters away. At this speed… we will soon encounter it.”
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Chen Feng’s forehead.
His right hand gripped the Winter Green Wood Staff tightly.
Chen Feng was ready to use his skill at any time.
Soon, the white fog ahead seemed to have weakened.
He could vaguely see what was happening in the white fog.
Boom!
A huge snake head came crashing down like a small car, flicking its tongue.
Its eyes were like red lantern fruits, and they were cold and creepy. Its body was covered in moss, and its neck was dripping with blood.
Sakurai Longzi’s expression changed drastically.
They matched! All matched!
The snake they saw looked exactly like the Yamata-No-Orochi in Japanese mythology!
Soon, a second snake head emerged from the white mist.
On the stormy sea, there was a small wooden boat that was teetering. It looked like it could capsize at any moment.
There were two men and two women on the ship, all Awakened ones.
The man standing at the bow held a staff high above his head.
“Blazing Fire!”
With a surge of magic energy, a flame appeared from the top of the staff and enveloped the Yamata-No-Orochi.
“Roar!”
The snake’s roar instantly shattered the flames.
The magic skills released by a Level 30 mage were so weak in front of the Yamata-No-Orochi
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three arrows pierced through the wind at an extremely fast speed.
The trajectory of the arrow was like two silver threads that were pulled out of the air. Almost at the same time, it struck the Yamata-No-Orochi’s massive head.
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding was particularly abrupt on the empty sea.
Orochi’s entire body was wrapped in a layer of large black scales. Even its head was no exception.
After all, it was a beast from the legends. How could a human break through its scales?
The arrow broke in the air… shattered… turned into powder!
This was only the baneful aura emitted from the Yamata-No-Orochi’s body. It circled around its body and easily resolved the arrow’s attack.
However, after suffering the attack, the Yamata-No-Orochi seemed to be enraged.
Another head poked out of the fog and roared at the sky.
No one knew how many heads there were in the white fog…
Boom!
A terrifying wave of energy exploded. The baleful aura that radiated from its body dyed the surrounding white fog black.
The sea began to churn violently, and a huge snake tail emerged from the sea, knocking the boat over.
The three-meter-long wooden boat was tiny compared to the Yamata-No-Orochi, which was the size of a small mountain.
The four Awakened ones fell into the sea and waved their limbs vigorously.
But nothing worked.
The black fog had already touched their bodies.
They could only watch as their bodies slowly rotted away, turning into lifeless skeletons that silently sank to the bottom of the sea.
After witnessing everything, Pu Yunmo and Sakurai Longzi’s expressions turned ugly as they took out their weapons.
As for Blake, he had fainted from fear and was lying on the bed with his eyes closed.
The bloody scene that had just taken place was too shocking for them.
Most importantly… how should they face this beast?
It was a situation of certain death, and despair grew in everyone’s hearts.
“Hiss-”
The Yamata-No-Orochi slowly turned its head as its fourth head peeked out of the fog.
There were eight eyeballs that looked like red lantern fruits, and they all stared at the people on the boat.
“Get ready.” Pu Yunmo whispered.
Although they did not have much confidence, they were elites sent by the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. They were much stronger than the two men and two women who had just died.
He had to at least struggle!
“Emperor of…”
When Pu Yunmo raised the scepter in his hand, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him.
Chen Feng, who had not spoken for a long time, stood before him.
“Don’t attack.” Chen Feng shook his head.
“Why?”
“Because…”
“Everything it’s all smoke and mirrors!”
