Synthesis Wizard-Chapter 167: Calos Giant Python Bloodline, Seed of Killing Intent

Chapter 167: Calos Giant Python Bloodline, Seed of Killing Intent

At the same time as Su Nan was attacked, the others in the Mysterious Wooden Hut were also ambushed.

One after another, dark figures rushed out of the gap, their hissing, eerie cries echoing as they charged towards the group.

Everyone had taken the Light Sensitivity Potion beforehand, so under their dark vision, they quickly saw the faces of the attackers.

They were thick, enormous pythons.

These pythons had transparent bodies that stretched over a hundred meters long. The closer to the head, the more distinct and real they became. You could even see the snake scales, sharp like blades, standing up in rows, covering the head. The teeth in their mouths were like swords, extremely ferocious and terrifying.

Most of the group’s attention was on the multi-winged monster, so they were caught off guard and bitten by the pythons.

But they quickly reacted and fought back.

Bang! Bang!

The ferocious python heads shattered one after another. The headless snake bodies twitched and retreated.

However, instead of being relieved, the group was alarmed. After they smashed the python heads, a semi-transparent, tiny snake head was hanging on the spot where they were bitten. Most of the snake heads had penetrated their defenses and were biting into their flesh.

Under the fluorescent light, the semi-transparent snake heads slowly dissipated, but everyone vaguely felt that something had been added to their bodies.

“What is this?” Hei Lin’s face changed slightly.

No one answered him. Everyone looked uncertain.

Su Nan frowned and looked towards the opening of the cave not far away.

Two figures slowly walked out from inside.

They were clearly Saulo and Illo.

Saulo was still holding a head in his hand.

He threw the head back, sending it flying for more than ten meters before landing on the ground. The head rolled a few times before stopping, revealing a masked face.

It was the Withered Skeleton.

Rose’s face changed slightly.

She had been wondering where the Withered Skeleton had escaped to, but she didn’t expect it to have already perished under Saulo’s hands.

“Divine creature?”

Saulo’s eyes swept across everyone, finally landing on the multi-winged monster. There was a slight tremor in his indifferent voice.

“It seems I’m lucky. Besides the Starlight Tower key, there’s an extra bonus.”

His words implied that he already considered the multi-winged monster to be his possession.

Hei Lin was unhappy with Saulo’s attitude and sneered, “Big words. Your Eternal Society only has two people left now. Two against seven, do you think you have a chance?”

The others also stared at Saulo and Illo with cold eyes.

While Saulo was indeed powerful and infamous, they had seven people on their side, and most importantly, they had Su Nan. No matter how you looked at it, they had the advantage.

In fact, it was truly baffling why Saulo and Illo, in this situation, wouldn’t try to escape quietly but instead dared to show themselves.

Su Nan’s eyes flickered as he recalled the scene just now, a faint sense of familiarity.

“A chance?” A cold glint flashed in Saulo’s eyes. “Of course there is.”

The moment the words left his lips, the long robe on his body suddenly flew open, revealing seven snake heads that surged out. Their mouths opened wide, and their forked, crimson tongues stretched out rapidly, shooting towards everyone.

As they charged, the snake heads swelled dramatically. When they reached the group, their entire heads had expanded to the size of a millstone.

Everyone used their magic to attack the snake heads.

Spells of various colors slammed into the snake heads… then dissipated like mud sinking into the sea. The snake heads, however, seemed to have received some kind of tonic, their scales becoming even more profound in color, and their originally somewhat illusory bodies suddenly solidified.

Hiss! Hiss!

The snake heads became even more fierce!

“What’s going on?!”

Night Owl and the others’ faces changed drastically. They couldn’t believe it and released a few more spells.

But without exception, these spells not only failed to harm the snake heads, they became nourishment for the latter’s growth.

“Damn it! What kind of bloodline ability is this?” Hei Lin cursed under his breath with a livid face.

Such a strange ability, obviously not a spell or magical item characteristic, could only be a kind of bloodline ability.

But he had never seen such a bizarre bloodline ability.

Could it be some kind of ancient bloodline?

Even Rose, who had briefly fought against Saulo in the past, was full of shock now.

Now she understood that Saulo hadn’t used his full strength back then. Otherwise, she and Red Heart might not have been able to escape.

But why had Saulo let them go?

For a time, everyone was forced into a chaotic frenzy by the snake heads. They couldn’t not fight back, but fighting back didn’t work either.

Only Su Nan remained calm, his eyes flashing with thought.

He tried attacking with energy particles and magic emblem cores separately, but without exception, the energy was absorbed by the snake heads.

Of course, not all attacks were like that.

For example, attacks from external objects like the Ice Sealing Necklace and the High-Level Rune Gem were not absorbed by the snake heads.

However, even if they used magic items to smash the snake heads, they would soon regrow, the only cost being that the other snake heads would become slightly dimmer.

Su Nan immediately understood that these snake heads shared the same energy. Unless they depleted the energy and Saulo’s spiritual power, they couldn’t destroy all the snake heads.

Just then, a scream rang out.

Everyone turned their heads to see that Saulo had somehow gotten behind Hei Lin. A hand had pierced through the latter’s abdomen, stained with blood, and extended out from the front.

“Damn woman!”

Hei Lin roared, his skin suddenly cracking, releasing countless brown thorns that wrapped around his body.

Saulo was forced back by the thorns, retreating more than ten meters.

A light figure emerged beside him, slowly condensing into Illo’s form.

It was she who had taken advantage of the moment to use illusion magic to attack Hei Lin, causing a momentary lapse in his mind, which gave Saulo an opportunity.

Su Nan glanced at Illo. This woman could be considered average in a one-on-one fight, but once she had a partner, she could play a role greater than the sum of her parts, making her the best support.

After being seriously injured, Hei Lin’s situation became extremely precarious. The snake heads kept attacking him, forcing him to fight defensively, looking very flustered.

However, what he feared even more was Saulo and Illo, who were watching him intently from the side.

If he were to be caught off guard by these two again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hei Lin called out to the others for help.

But everyone else was also in a desperate situation, busy dealing with the snake heads. They couldn’t spare a hand.

After more than ten breaths, Hei Lin was caught off guard again by Illo’s illusion magic attack. Saulo took advantage of the moment and approached, along with a snake head biting from the other side, tearing Hei Lin into pieces!

Less than ten minutes into the battle, and despite having the advantage in numbers, the Mysterious Wooden Hut team had suffered the first casualty.

Seeing this, Night Owl and the others felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

They couldn’t have imagined that Saulo’s strength was so terrifying.

He was almost fighting seven people alone, and he was still suppressing them completely. This kind of strength, even across the entire Starlight Continent, was probably unparalleled!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of sounds suddenly burst out.

Along with a flash of silver light, seven snake heads shattered almost simultaneously.

“Fall back!”

Su Nan shouted in a deep voice, at the same time retracting the magic emblem core into his body.

The already meager spiritual power had been consumed a lot by that attack just now. He couldn’t use the magic emblem core again, otherwise, he would drain his spiritual power.

Night Owl and the others were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and gathered behind Su Nan.

Although they didn’t understand what Su Nan was trying to do, the powerful strength he had displayed before had already made him the backbone of the Mysterious Wooden Hut.

In the current situation, everyone subconsciously looked to him for guidance.

“What? Do you plan to surrender?”

Saulo said emotionlessly, his eyes glancing at the slowly recovering snake heads.

Su Nan smiled disdainfully, “Calos Giant Python bloodline, right?”

At these words, Saulo, who had remained indifferent throughout the battle, finally showed a trace of shock on his face, his pupils contracting slightly.

Night Owl and the others saw it and immediately understood that the so-called Calos Giant Python bloodline was obviously the bloodline that Saulo had fused!

As long as they knew the opponent’s fused bloodline ability, they could probably find ways to deal with it.

Thinking of this, everyone suddenly felt their spirits lift.

Traveler hastily asked, “Su Nan, what are the abilities of the Calos Giant Python bloodline?”

Su Nan explained calmly, “The Calos Giant Python is an ancient beast that feeds on the killing intent of its prey. They will plant a seed of killing intent within their prey. Any creature with the seed of killing intent, as long as they harbor killing intent towards the Calos Giant Python, will constantly provide the Calos Giant Python with nourishment. Besides that, any attack originating from themselves will not harm it. The energy contained in the attack will be absorbed back by it, strengthening its body.”

Night Owl and the others gasped in shock.

There was such a strange and powerful bloodline?!

So, the semi-transparent snake heads that had disappeared into their bodies before were the so-called seeds of killing intent.

No wonder Saulo, despite seeing that they had the advantage in numbers, dared to show himself.

The Calos Giant Python’s bloodline ability was simply too suitable for fighting a smaller number of enemies!

Within the range of the number of snake heads, the more enemies there were, the more nourishment the Calos Giant Python would receive, and the stronger it would become!

Especially when the opponent didn’t know about the Calos Giant Python’s bloodline ability, it was easy to end up giving Saulo a lot of nourishment and energy.

That was exactly what had happened to them earlier.

Rose also understood why Saulo had deliberately let them escape before.

It was to create this current situation.

“This is the first time I’ve encountered a wizard apprentice who recognized the Calos Giant Python bloodline.”

Saulo looked at Su Nan deeply.

“You have more knowledge than I thought.”

“Stone Scorpion is already dead at your hands, right?”

Su Nan admitted frankly, “That’s right. The Stone Singer’s bloodline ability is very powerful, but as long as you’re prepared beforehand, it’s not difficult to deal with.”

Hearing this, Night Owl and the others couldn’t help but look at Su Nan in astonishment.

That mysterious Stone Scorpion was actually killed by Su Nan?

And what kind of bloodline was the Stone Singer?

For a moment, everyone was speechless.

Wizard apprentices, in the eyes of ordinary people, were all symbols of profound knowledge.

But at this moment, standing beside Su Nan, they inexplicably felt a sense of academic inferiority.

Su Nan didn’t pay attention to the reaction of the Mysterious Wooden Hut group. He waved his hand without turning around and said, “Leave this place.”

“This guy isn’t someone you can deal with just by having more people. I’ll take care of him.”

Night Owl and the others hesitated for a moment, then obeyed and backed away.

Although they knew about the Calos Giant Python’s bloodline ability, they still didn’t have a good way to deal with it.

After all, the best weapon to deal with those snake heads was magic items.

But this was precisely the weakness of many wizard apprentices, including themselves.

They each had at most one or two glimmer-level magic items, and they had already used them up in the previous battle. Against the snake heads, they were almost helpless, and they would only become tools to feed the opponent.

It had to be admitted that Saulo’s Calos Giant Python bloodline was extremely effective against wizard apprentices.

No wonder so many third-rank wizard apprentices had died at his hands.

Saulo seemed indifferent to Night Owl and the others’ actions, his gaze fixed on Su Nan.

In his eyes, Su Nan was the most troublesome enemy!

As long as he killed Su Nan, the rest of the Mysterious Wooden Hut would be nothing to worry about.

“Can Su Nan do it?” Rose asked worriedly.

Scepter whispered, “Don’t forget, Su Nan also has the Mithril Magic Puppet.”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up.

That’s right!

Puppets were external objects, and they wouldn’t naturally harbor emotions like killing intent. They were the perfect choice to deal with the Calos Giant Python’s bloodline ability.

And Su Nan just happened to have a Mithril Magic Puppet!

Magic puppets were huge and couldn’t be carried around in space rings, so everyone hadn’t thought about it in the beginning.

It wasn’t until Scepter reminded them that they remembered Su Nan had the means to carry magic puppets.

However, soon, everyone calmed down again.

A single Mithril Magic Puppet couldn’t decide the outcome in a battle of this level. At best, it could serve as an auxiliary force, giving Su Nan a little more chance.

After all, even if you removed the Calos Giant Python’s bloodline ability, Saulo himself was one of the top third-rank wizard apprentices.

The cave suddenly became silent.

Saulo’s seven snake heads had already recovered to their full glory, their tongues flicking in and out, their cold, ferocious eyes piercing Su Nan like sharp swords.

At the same time, a figure appeared out of thin air beside Su Nan.

Night Owl and the others were stunned when they saw it.

The figure was not the Mithril Magic Puppet they thought it was, but a beautiful girl with snow-white skin.

“This… is a puppet?” Traveler asked in astonishment.

The others were also puzzled.

They could sense the distinct soul aura emanating from the girl, so it was definitely a puppet.

But they had never seen a puppet that looked so much like a human being.

In order to strengthen their combat power, puppets were usually designed with compromises in construction and appearance. At best, they could maintain a humanoid shape, but you could tell at a glance that they were different from humans.

Only puppets that weren’t made for combat or labor, but for purely ornamental or special purposes, would be made to look exactly like real people.

These puppets were usually called dolls, differentiated from battle puppets and labor puppets.

The girl in front of them looked like a doll.

But in this situation, what was Su Nan doing with a doll?

For a time, Night Owl and the others were baffled.

On the other side, Saulo stared at the girl-puppet for a while, his eyes narrowing.

“Is this your trump card?”

“Doesn’t it look like it?” Su Nan smiled faintly and issued a command to the secret puppet, “Let him see your power.”
