Chapter 453: The Endless Serpent
The pythons at both ends of the road were moving slowly, and there seemed to be no sign of attacking him, and Eliment put his heart back in his stomach for the time being, and sat on the ground gasping for breath, he felt that the vigorous exercise of just a few minutes was simply more tiring than the long journey he had made from Sfeir to the Holy Mountain.
Element had been vigilantly scanning the pythons at both ends of the corridor, ready to flee at any time...... Wait a minute! Elemment's eyes widened in surprise. He noticed that the two pythons writhed at a surprisingly similar frequency, could it be—an unthinkable thought popped into his mind.
Feeling that his strength was almost regained, Electra decided to test his suspicions. He got up from the ground and walked cautiously towards the other end of the road. He came to the exit of the corridor, and cautiously poked out half of his head to look out, almost colliding with a huge head, which was the head of the unicorn python.
The unicorn python's bronze bell-sized eyes immediately spotted Element's original target, and it opened its mouth angrily, trying to swallow Element, but unfortunately its mouth was filled with the huge body of another python, and there was no room for Elemente.
The unicorn python closed its mouth vigorously, looking like it wanted to bite off the giant python in its mouth, but although the giant python in front of it had not fought back, the scales on its body were also indestructible, and the unicorn python did not even leave a tooth mark in one bite. It seems that if the unicorn python wants to be freed, there is only one way, and that is to completely devour the giant python in front of it.
It's a big job. The unicorn python probably realized this too, and after glaring at Element with resentment, it continued its devouring work.
Seeing that the unicorn python had no way to deal with him for the time being, Eliment's courage immediately fattened. He deliberately walked not far in front of the unicorn python and teased the unicorn python.
The unicorn python hissed angrily, but it could not scare Element, who had completely relaxed, and the only thing it could do was to speed up its devouring speed, and when it was completely free, it would come back to clean up this hateful little bug.
Elemente teased the python while secretly observing carefully, and after a few turns, he was almost sure that the unicorn python in front of him was devouring its own body.
It turned out that when Eliment ran away with his head just now, he inadvertently ran in a circle, and the python tail he saw just now was the tail of the unicorn python itself. The current unicorn python is like the legendary ancient monster Endless Serpent, and its head and tail are linked together to form a perfect ring.
This unicorn python is obviously not an ordinary thing, it is so crazy to devour its body, there is no sign of stopping, indicating that its body is like an endless snake, it also has the attribute of continuous growth, and the growth rate is definitely as fast as it devours itself.
The threat of the unicorn python was temporarily lifted, and now Eliment had only one question in his mind, how could such a behemoth suddenly appear in the labyrinth......? An idea popped into Eliment's heart, and he left behind the one-horned python that was still devouring his body, and ran forward along its body.
If this unicorn python was originally a resident of this labyrinth, then the place where it was hiding just now may be the location of the treasure.
All Eliment has to do now is find the unicorn python's hiding place. He believed that the hidden place was definitely nearby, not far from the place where he had spotted the unicorn python.
Eliment soon realized his mistake, and he couldn't find out exactly where the unicorn python appeared. He had even circled around the python's circular body three times, still unable to determine the exact location.
The damn gold labyrinth looked exactly the same, and not only was Eliment completely lost in it, but even the unicorn python itself was bewitched, otherwise it wouldn't have swallowed its tail as a delicacy and found itself in this dilemma.
Looks like we're going to have to use oracles. Illuminte had to admit in his heart that in this golden labyrinth, the only way to find the hiding place of the unicorn python was to use the all-powerful magical spell.
Electra recited the spell of the oracle in his mind again, and he was stunned by the image that appeared in his mind - where he was now was where the unicorn python had just appeared!
For a moment, Eliment even suspected that something was wrong with the oracle, but after looking around closely, he finally noticed something different: on the wall opposite him, there was a gold brick that was faintly darker than the surrounding one, could it be that the unicorn python's lair was hidden under that golden brick?
After discovering the secret on the wall, Element was overjoyed, it seemed that this unicorn python was really his lucky star, not only did not cause him any harm, but unexpectedly helped him find a possible treasure location. But is it really that simple?
Eliment smug glanced at the head of the unicorn python that happened to pass by him, and swaggered towards the golden wall under the unicorn's angry gaze.
Elemente felt along the edge of the dim gold brick on the gold wall and found that there was indeed a small gap between the gold brick and the surrounding gold bricks—about a millimeter thick. Now Illuminant felt more confident, he had carefully observed this golden labyrinth before, and every gold brick that built this labyrinth was tightly fitted. The "flaws" that appear here just prove that there is something strange behind this wall.
Eliment pressed her ear to the wall and tapped her hand on it, listening carefully to the sound coming from behind it. Perhaps it was psychological, but he felt a little different from his previous voice.
This should be it! Elimente tried to press the unusual gold brick as she had just pushed the gold brick on the storage compartment, and there was a faint creaking sound behind the gold brick, but on the surface, the gold brick did not move, and there was no difference from before.
After seeing his movements, the unicorn python hissed even louder and became more angry, but for a moment and a half, it was helpless to take its body in its mouth.
Couldn't it be that the method was wrong? Eliment didn't care about the unicorn python's anger, but touched his chin and looked at the unchanged wall, feeling slightly surprised. He was relieved when he thought about it, if there was really a treasure hidden behind this gold brick, it would really hell be able to let him open it so easily!
Element's heart palpitated at the thought of this, and his instinct told him that it was best not to do so, or it would cause great trouble.
Why? His instincts, which he had never missed, clashed with the hint from Administrator Vernon just now, and he had a vague sense that things were going in a bad direction.
