Rise of the Demon God-Chapter 1446

With stumbling feet, he walked to the Snake Statue and broke the poisonous fang of the snake. 

He also brought the plants he had taken out and followed the same processor that he did with Xun. Instead of using the poison plant, he used the poison fang, which had affected him.

After bringing out the Cauldron, he tossed all the items needed inside it and lit up a fire before sitting outside.

He waited for the pill to be prepared while observing the condition of his hand. By now, he couldn't even move his right hand. 

"How are you feeling?" Snake Monarch asked, seemingly concerned.

"I'm feeling sick," Long Chen replied. "How did I get poisoned? I was supposed to be immune?"

"That aside, the Sword of Time couldn't even destroy the statues. Just what actually are they? They're so strong. They're how I assume Godly Beast Kings to be."

"Didn't Xun say that they were created by the Ancestral Beasts? Maybe they were not showpieces but for security?" Snake Monarch asked. "If Ancestral Beasts created them, it won't be surprising that they are as strong as the Godly Beast Kings."

"For the first time in your life, you're talking some sense. Is this really happening, or did I already start hallucinating because of the poison?" Long Chen asked, laughing in amusement to distract him from the increasing pain in his arm. 

"Nonsense. I always talk sense," Snake Monarch replied, rolling his eyes. "By the way, I do wonder why guards were kept in that room. What might be on the other side of the door at the end of the room?"

"That door has such strong guards. You think there might be treasures?"

"The thing is that all the others left the room safely. Why is it that the statues only came alive when it was our turn to cross? I don't think it's another treasure," Long Chen replied, frowning. 

His eyes slowly started closing. He was struggling to keep them open because he knew, if he fell asleep, he probably wasn't going to wake up. 

"You mean they're just to stop humans and other species members? Maybe a sacred place of beasts is on the other side?" Snake Monarch suggested. 

"Maybe." Long Chen rubbed his eyes with his left hand. He stood up and opened the Cauldron. 

The pill was almost ready. He pulled out one of the pills from the cauldron and swallowed it before closing the Cauldron again. 

He sat again, bringing a bottle of water from his storage ring. He drank some of the water and washed his face with the rest. 

"Hmm?" He once again felt some movement in his other hand. He could feel it once more. It was still aching, but at least he could move it now. Moreover, his hand was slowly returning to its original color. 

He let out a sigh of relief, happy. "It seems to be working."

"The bigger problem still remains. You need to cross that room to get to the other side. That means facing four statues as strong as the Godly Beast Kings. Can you do it? How about we go back instead?"

"Is the Great Snake Monarch scared?" Long Chen asked, smiling. 

"Me? Scared? Heh, this Monarch killed hundreds of such things in his time. I can kill whenever I want. But I want you to do it yourself so you can experience some hard battles," Snake Monarch proudly stated. 

" But it seems you're not ready at the moment. We can go back and come when you're ready," he further continued. 

" Since you agree that you can kill it, please do so. I really want to see what's on the other side. I can find other Godly Beast Kings to train against when I'm ready. I don't mind."

Long Chen stood up and walked to the Snake Monarch. "It's decided. I'm sending you inside. Make sure to kill them. Give me a signal when you're done." 

"Ah, b-but..." Snake Monarch started stuttering as he watched Long Chen advance towards him. "Ah, right. It's Sunday. I don't fight on Sundays." 

"It's Thursday," Long Chen replied, smiling. 

"Ah, I meant I don't fight on Sundays and Thursdays. Tsk, what tough luck. I really wanted to show you some of my fighting skills. If only it wasn't Thursday," Snake Monarch responded, sighing as if he was disappointed that he couldn't show his battle powers. 

"It's alright. In a few hours, it'll be Friday. We can wait a few hours." Long Chen smiled as he walked to the cauldron again. 

He opened it and pulled out the pill, which was completely prepared, unlike the last pill, which wasn't complete, but he had to use it to relieve some symptoms. 

He swallowed the second pill as well. 

"A few hours? Ah, we can't waste our precious time. You know what we can achieve in a few hours?I don't like wasting time waiting here. I refuse. Let's search elsewhere," Snake Monarch replied. 

"Hmm? I already checked all the other places. This is the last place. It's alright to wait now." Long Chen smirked. "I really want to see your fighting prowess. I can't see you disappointed."

"Oh wait, I remembered. We are in a different world. The time here is already a few hours ahead. In fact, it's already Friday. We are so lucky."

Long Chen placed his hand on the Snake Monarch. 

"Wait, what?" No, no, no! Listen to m-"

Before Snake Monarch could even finish his sentence, he found himself inside the room. 

In fact, he was in the middle of the room, didn't between the giant elephant and the Winged Leopard. The other two beasts were still not out. 

The two beasts looked at the Snake Monarch as if they were looking at their prey, especially the leopard. 

"Ah, Gentleman. Greetings. I am the Emperor of all the creations. I came here to you with a business proposal." Snake Monarch kept moving back while trying to distract the two. 

"You see, there's too much money in the tourism business.  I was thinking we could make this place a tourist place. People can come here to see your majestic self. And they'll offer money in exchange. You see, you'll be making so much profit by doing nothing!"

"In fact, this Monarch will personally be your manager at just fifty percent profit share? What do you say?" 

Roarr~

The Winged Leopard roared as it continued stepping closer to the Snake. 

"Ah, is that too much? How about seventy-thirty? I'll take a thirty percent share. I can't go lower than that. I have a family to feed after all," Snake Monarch said, almost sounding like he was about to cry at the thought of being killed.. His distraction wasn't working.
