Chapter 417 Adventure with Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, and the Strange Scenery of the Mysterious

Chapter 417 Adventure with Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, and the Strange Scenery of the Mysterious Forbidden Zone!

"this----"

Although Xia Fa had anticipated that Veronica, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons, would ask this question, he was surprised that she would ask it so soon.

Originally, he thought that it was only after the two of them went into the [World Serpent] to explore together that the Nature Bee displayed various peculiar extraordinary talents, making Veronica realize that something was wrong, and then she would ask.

Fortunately, he had prepared his explanation in advance.

"You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing."

Xia Fa's face hardened, and he deliberately feigned anger, as if his painful past had been touched upon. He continued, "It wasn't enough that you planted the first bee egg in me; you planted a second one not long after. Then those two bee eggs fused together and absorbed my life essence every day. It was only with great difficulty that the bee egg developed sentience. If I hadn't been able to withstand it, I would have been drained dry by now!"

A look of surprise appeared on Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, as she gently covered her slightly parted red lips with her hand: "The first bee egg—it didn't disappear?"

Xia Fa feigned ignorance: "Why did it disappear?"

Patriarch Veronica of Ten Thousand Poisons sighed softly: "So that's how it is—I sensed the first bee egg had disappeared before planting the second one on you, but I didn't expect it to not disappear. I was also too weak from planting too many bee eggs in a short period of time, and had to hide in a place to recuperate for a long time—"

Upon hearing this, Xia Fa immediately understood why Veronica, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons, had never seen the Nature Bee; it turned out she had been recuperating.

It's clear that the bees of nature have already connected with bards and storytellers.

Judging from this, she probably didn't know that she had previously become famous throughout the universe as the Holy Spirit of Destiny.

As for whether she knew about defeating the [Gods' Nemesis]—that's unclear, but she probably didn't, since she seemed to have just come out of that time-stagnant place.

"So, this bumblebee—was hatched from my eggs and your essence? Then—"

The voice of the Poison Patriarch Veronica rang out again, but as she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and her beautiful face turned red. She turned her head slightly away, and her voice grew softer and softer.

This angle is rather unusual—Xia Fa hadn't thought of that, and now that he thinks about it, he also finds it strange.

"Dad, Mom!"

The Nature Bee suddenly spoke up, once again demonstrating its exceptionally high emotional intelligence: "When are you getting married? I want to be there! But I won't interfere when you go on your honeymoon, since I'm all grown up now, hehe."

Seeing this, Xia Fa couldn't help but find it both amusing and exasperating. When did this kid turn out to be so bad? He's even helping him out now!

Upon hearing the words "honeymoon," Veronica, the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons, blushed even more. She was already extremely charming and beautiful, but her demeanor was as shy as a young girl's. Coupled with her tall and hot figure, she made Xia Fa's mouth go dry.

The Poison Patriarch, Veronica, also secretly observed Shafa's expression, wanting to see his reaction. After all, Shafa was so handsome and had so much potential, plus the fact that the two of them were essentially having a "child" together—thinking about it that way, it didn't seem like a bad idea after all.

She is one of the few beings in the physical realm who doesn't need to be "unbound," because she can't be "fixed" at all. In other words, she can do whatever she wants on a daily basis.

Of course, strictly speaking, she can also be "fixed," but the rule after she is fixed is to plant bee eggs. She only needs to randomly find an extraordinary being to plant a bee egg, and then she will be "unfixed" instantly, so it is almost equivalent to not being restricted.

This is something that other entities have always envied.

"Cough cough."

Sensing the increasingly tense atmosphere, Xia Fa coughed twice and said, "Why don't we go check out the [Mortal Serpent] first, and we can talk about the rest later? By the way, do you know anything about this mysterious forbidden zone?"

Patriarch Veronica of the Ten Thousand Poisons shook her head: "I'm not too sure. The only thing I know is that before going in, you have to wear a fully sealed suit of armor made of pig iron mixed with shadow gold. Besides that, you just need to bring a large pair of iron tongs or a chain of similar material."

She paused, then seemed to remember something and added, "As for this method, it seems to have been invented by Sochuu Kongjian when he was young, before he became a god."

It's Suochuwu Kongjian again —

Xia Fa was always filled with curiosity about this person who had mastered the "eternal control of fire," who at first glance seemed like a simple but shrewd chef, but was actually a mysterious and important figure from the Heavenly Venerable.

In particular, Suochuwu Kongjian had saved him in the past and was his benefactor.

"In that case, let's go in and explore first, taking it one step at a time."

Xia Fa made a decision. Now that he possessed the strength of a Celestial Venerable, he really didn't have anything to fear, as long as he didn't go to the most dangerous areas within the [Mortal Python].

Speaking of which, if we don't count the time he hid in the "Land of the Puppet and the Burial Goods," this was his first time truly venturing into a mysterious forbidden zone, and he was inexplicably feeling a little excited and thrilled.

He also understood that this was an instinct that arises when humans face unknown areas where danger and opportunity coexist.

Patriarch Veronica of the Ten Thousand Poisons nodded in agreement, but then carefully instructed, "You can go in, but Xia Fa, you'd better stay with me. Although I don't know why you, who are clearly gods, can enter the real world, it's still very dangerous in this mysterious forbidden zone if you're just a god. There are many unknown risks that you can't handle."

Perhaps it was because the two of them had a natural bee that was like a "child" that she spoke to them with unusual gentleness, like a wife speaking to her husband. Coupled with her melodious voice, it made Xia Fa's ears feel a little sore.

After a pause, Veronica, the Poison Queen, turned to the Nature Bee, this time becoming much more serious, and said, "You also have to protect Shafa, understand?"

The bee nodded vigorously: "Yes! Okay!"

Seeing this, the Poison Patriarch nodded slightly, then turned to Xia Fa and asked curiously, "If I'm not mistaken, it's a juvenile entity, right? By the way, Xia Fa, what's its name again?"

Xia Fa laughed and said, "It's called the Nature Bee."

"Nature's Bee—understood." The Poisonous Chieftain murmured, then suddenly snapped his fingers with a flourish. "Alright, let's go!"

"That, that looks like the Chief of Ten Thousand Poisons!"

"The physical entity is coming! Everyone run!"

"Uncle, don't leave me!"

"Nephew, you stay behind to cover our retreat!"

"Aaaaaaah!"

The enormous mouth of the snake was like a bottomless abyss, capable of sucking in even the meteorites that occasionally whistled past, which would then melt into acid in an instant.

At this moment, countless figures were frantically fleeing, whether they had just emerged from the Protoss warships or ritual teleportation arrays, preparing to infiltrate the [World Serpent], or had just come out of the [World Serpent].

All of this was because Veronica had arrived with her army of Saint Poison Bees.

Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, is a well-known figure in both the real world and the Protoss Realm, especially for her five-meter-tall, curvaceous, and hot body, as well as the army of Holy Poison Bees she brings with her when she goes out, making her hard to miss.

Therefore, people who had grown up hearing terrifying legends about various entities all their lives chose to flee at all costs as soon as they saw Veronica, the Poisonous Chieftain.

In particular, this time is different from before. Beside this beautiful but dangerous Holy Poison Bee Queen is a tall, handsome, masculine and gentle man!

The man who just appeared next to the entity, what could that be? It's obvious without even thinking, it must be the new entity!

Many people even risked their lives to record the man's appearance and features using their personal "photojournaling newspapers" or "reproduction cameras," intending to share this information with others and warn them to be careful if they encountered him.

Some people have already given this man, who is suspected to be a new entity, a simple name: "Handsome Guy," because he looks very handsome.

"By the way, you've got quite a reputation, Veronica."

Above the snake's mouth, in the starry sky, Xia Fa looked at the extraordinary individuals scattering and fleeing, and couldn't help but chuckle, making a teasing remark.

Patriarch Veronica, however, was already used to it. Instead, she looked at Xia Fa with a strange expression: "It's normal for them to be afraid of me. It would be abnormal if they weren't. After all, I'm a physical being. But you, Xia Fa, you're just a subordinate god. Why aren't you afraid of me at all?"

Xia Fa smiled but offered no explanation.

Because he couldn't possibly enter the third stage of the Chaos Throne in a grand manner right now, displaying strength comparable to a Celestial Venerable, causing Veronica to tremble and immediately submit.

That's unnecessary and too flamboyant; it's not his style.

The Poisonous Patriarch Veronica looked him up and down, then seemed to understand something: "Could it be because of the Nature's Bees?"

Upon hearing this, the Nature Bee was suddenly shocked. As a pet, it could sense the true strength of its master and immediately wanted to say that it was unworthy.

But seeing the smile in its owner's eyes, who seemed too lazy to explain, that powerful demeanor immediately won it over once again, so it chose to remain silent.

Patriarch Veronica of the Ten Thousand Poisons then changed the subject: "However, the fact that you, as a god, can appear in the real world actually makes our next move easier. Shall we head straight to the Five Inch District?"

"The five-inch zone?" Xia Fa asked curiously.

"Yes, as the saying goes, strike the snake at its seven-inch mark," so for the [Mortal Python], some busybodies have divided its parts according to this method, into the head area, the one-inch area, the two-inch area, the three-inch area—and so on all the way to the tail area." The Poison Patriarch Veronica explained in detail.

"So, you mean the five-inch area can only be entered by God?"

"No, the Three-Inch Zone is only accessible to those above the level of gods. Even a Mysterious Emperor who has signed thirty secret contracts and possesses a kind of eternal certificate would face great danger if he rashly entered the Three-Inch Zone." Veronica, the Patriarch of Ten Thousand Poisons, revealed a confident look on her face. "However, with me protecting you, we can go directly into the Five-Inch Zone."

Xia Fa immediately understood: "So, does that mean that in the more than 20,000 years since the [World Serpent] became a mysterious forbidden zone, hardly anyone has ever stepped into the area above the three-inch zone?"

The [Mortal Serpent] resides in the real world, and beings of gods and above are not allowed to enter the real world for fear of causing uncontrolled pollution and being annihilated by the nine righteous gods or the current Golden Cleansers.

Therefore, only those at the level of Bacteria-level Transcendents and those at the level of the Mysterious Emperor would venture into the [Mortal Serpent] to explore.

In other words, only the head area, the one-inch area, and the two-inch area have been visited by all sorts of extraordinary individuals.

The area above the three-inch mark is practically an untapped treasure trove!

The thought that it might contain supreme sacred objects or even divine artifacts filled Xia Fa with excitement.

Strictly speaking, sacred metals such as pure white light-seeking silver are also classified as supreme relics, as are the Old Fruits.

As for the difference between supreme divine objects and unparalleled sacred objects, it actually depends on their uniqueness and whether they have developed intelligence.

For example, the Golden Beacon Scroll is a supreme divine object, but it was formed by chance during a major event 30,000 years ago from the supreme sacred object "Golden Lamentation Song". It is the only one of its kind in the world and has its own intelligence. That is the difference.

Suddenly remembering something, the Nature Bee asked as if to confirm, "I've heard that the legendary supreme divine object, the Starry Sea Copper Pillar, was found and had its seal broken within the [Mortal Serpent]. Is that true?"

Chieftain Veronica of the Ten Thousand Poisons nodded slightly: "That's right, but the truth is somewhat different from the rumors. What that adventurer picked up was actually just a section of the Star Sea Copper Pillar, and because he accidentally read the ancient inscriptions on it, he lost control on the spot."

Does "The Mortal Python" even include a broken Star Sea Bronze Pillar?

Xia Fa was quite surprised. He knew that the "Star Sea Bronze Pillar" was said to have been born in the same great event that led to the rise of the extraordinary era 30,000 years ago as the "Golden Beacon Scroll". It contained countless secrets!

He actually managed to find a broken Star Sea Copper Pillar in the [Mortal Serpent]—now he finally understood why the [Paradox Clown] had advised him to explore more mysterious forbidden zones.

However, on the other hand, he had only been a god for a few days, and he had been too busy these past few days, either robbing tombs or searching for the family's secret treasures. Only now did he finally have some time.

Seeing that there was no one else around the colossal serpent, which was as long as a super-large inhabited planet, the two immediately changed into their fully enclosed steel armor, grabbed pliers, and flew into the enormous abyssal serpent's mouth without needing to be told by the Poisonous Chieftain Veronica.

As for the army of Holy Poison Bees, they vanished into thin air after a slight sway.

Nature's Bee also donned steel armor, specially made to perfectly match its small, dog-sized size, and followed behind Xia Fa.

Looking down at the slowly rotating, black hole-like entrance, Xia Fa took a deep breath and, without hesitation, plunged inside.

Pfft!

It was as if he had plunged into extremely viscous glue. As soon as he arrived in Shekou District, he immediately felt restricted in his movements. His whole body felt as if it were wrapped in glue, and he felt great resistance in every move he made.

Immediately following were two "plop" sounds, as the Poison Patriarch Veronica and the Nature Bee also sneaked in and swam to his side.

Xia Fa looked out through the crystal window in the helmet of his fully enclosed armor and was momentarily stunned.

All that could be seen in the mouth area of ​​this "Mortal Python" was a vast, boundless expanse of pale green slime, which even obstructed the view.

But in this state, he actually saw a worm swimming by beside him. It was long and thin, white in color, and looked like a maggot.

Not far below, there were large trees swaying in the water, as if they had been softened by the pale green liquid, swaying back and forth like seaweed.

Xia Fagang had only glanced at it a couple of times when he suddenly noticed that a pair of red eyes suddenly lit up in the gap between the big tree and the stone where the tree was rooted!

"Master, watch out! Oh wait—"

Just as Nature's Bee managed to utter that sentence, a monster resembling a wolf eel darted out from the crevice in the rock. Its head, which was originally only the size of a basketball, suddenly opened its enormous mouth, which expanded to the size of an umbrella, as if it wanted to swallow Xiafa whole.

But with a "pop," Xia Fa's figure shattered like a bubble, and then condensed from the side.

This eel-like monster, despite having only swallowed a mouthful of bubbles, immediately began to scream madly, its long, slippery body writhing in the pale green water.

Spiked spheres burst forth from its entire body, and the wolf-eel-like monster, covered in blood, plummeted straight down.

Xia Fazhi's expression remained normal.

This was his first application of the god-level mutation, the "Fraudulent Clown Mask," and it worked remarkably well. Whether creating illusionary clones or replacing the shattered bubbles of the illusionary clones with deadly caltrops, it was exceptionally easy.

At the same time, he also sensed that the mysterious forbidden zone was not simple.

Even though it's just in Shekou District, this wolf-eel-like monster is already equivalent to an angel in strength!

It's safe to say that without some serious skills, even extraordinary individuals in the real world probably wouldn't dare to enter so easily.

Just then, the wolf-eel monster that had fallen to the ground below suddenly flashed with a faint light, and an irregularly shaped, glowing gem rolled out of its wound.

The gem shimmered with a thunderous blue-white light, and its interior seemed to be filled with countless swirling storms; it was clearly extraordinary.

"Storm Ice Crystals?"

Xia Fa immediately recognized it. This was an extremely rare and extraordinary material, possessing the power to summon thunder and storms, and could even be used by rulers to forge secret treasures. Its market price was close to 500,000 gold pounds per piece!

If this were him back when he was just an insect-level superhuman, he would have been overjoyed to see such a treasure!

Of course, he doesn't care about that now. He doesn't lack gold pounds now, but he lacks hard currency like supreme relics or fragments of reality.

However, Xia Fa still reached out with his huge iron pincers and picked up the storm ice crystal.

Only then did he realize that if he used the secret storage ability of the Black Pouch, he could actually put the storm ice crystal directly into the Black Pouch through the huge iron clamps!

Seeing the storm ice crystal flash at the end of the iron pincers and immediately appear in the black bag, Xia Fa nodded in satisfaction. Then, he turned to Veronica, the chief of the Ten Thousand Poisons, with great excitement.

How do I get to the five-inch area?

If Shekou District is like this, I can't even imagine how many good things there are in Wucun District—Xiafa!

Not to mention, the Snake Mouth Giant has been frequented by superhumans over the years, but the Five Inch Zone has hardly been visited by anyone!

Patriarch Veronica of Ten Thousand Poisons observed his behavior with great curiosity, and then chuckled: "You've become a god, yet you still care so much about 500,000 gold pounds of extraordinary materials. You're quite the family man."

Xia Fa didn't know whether her words were a compliment, a joke, or both, so he could only smile in response.

The Poisonous Patriarch Veronica abruptly changed the subject: "As you know, the [World Serpent] is actually a layer of skin shed by the Moon Mother Goddess, and among the Moon Mother Goddess's nine noble titles is the title 'God of Space.' Therefore, within the [World Serpent], any spatial means such as teleportation or blinking will be ineffective. To reach the Five Inch Zone, you can only keep diving downwards."

"I see—" Xia Fa pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Then let's get started quickly."

The Poisonous Patriarch Veronica smiled charmingly, her beauty indescribable: "However, I have a good idea, but it will require you to make some sacrifices."

Xia Fa asked curiously, "What method?"

Patriarch Veronica of Ten Thousand Poisons chuckled, "I'm very fast and can take you down with me, but you might suffer a bit. After all, you're just a god, and you might not be able to withstand my extreme speed."

Xia Fa readily agreed: "I'm not afraid of suffering, so I'll have to trouble you."

Veronica, the Queen of the Holy Poison Bees, is a full five meters tall, while Shafa, in his human form, is only two meters tall.

So, guided by Veronica, he immediately embraced her, and the Nature Bee shrank from the size of a puppy to the size of a real bumblebee and flew into the pocket of the Shafa armor.

"Sit still!"

The Poison Patriarch Veronica chuckled softly, and her translucent wings suddenly flapped.

Whoosh!

An intense sense of acceleration washed over him, and Xia Fa felt the scenery on both sides rushing past him. As far as he could see, he could only make out countless fish and insect monsters, and the increasingly dark, corrosive water.

"This speed—it's almost a tenth of mine!"

Sensing the speed of Veronica, the Poison Patriarch, Xia Fa was quite surprised, thinking to himself that she truly lived up to her physical form, being able to move so fast.

"arrive."

Veronica stopped in just over ten seconds.

Although the [Mortal Serpent] is indeed very large, Veronica is, after all, an Outer God-level entity. An Outer God can traverse an entire star field in the blink of an eye, so going from the Serpent's Mouth Zone to the Five Inch Zone would naturally take very little effort.

Xia Fa looked around and found that the surrounding acidic liquid was almost black, making it almost impossible to see anything.

"Where are the bees you're looking for?"

He had just asked a question when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine.

Before he could even turn around, Xia Fa's spiritual intuition directly foresaw the situation behind him.

It was an extremely ugly giant whale monster, ten thousand meters long, which was opening its huge mouth, ready to devour them all at once.

But that's not the point. The point is that Xia Fa felt the flow of mystical living silver within his body suddenly accelerate!

This means that the body of this giant whale monster may contain pure white light-traveling silver!
