Chapter 89: Evil God Silaya
"No, no, help me, help me!"
Gro's face turned pale immediately when he saw Amanda running towards him. Before Amanda could get close to him, he kicked Amanda and sent her flying, hitting the wall behind her. When Amanda got up again, the strange snakes that kept moving inside her body became thicker and bigger, moving up along her arms and spreading to Amanda's whole body.
At this time, a strange snake crawled out from Amanda's eyes, swallowed Amanda's eyes in one bite, and crawled into Amanda's mouth again, making Amanda's original crying and screaming become only some stammering sounds.
Slowly, even the hesitating sounds disappeared, replaced by a low roar like a wild beast. Amanda climbed up from the ground, and the blood flowing from the blood holes on her body slowly turned black. Her body lay on the ground like a wild beast, and she roared at Gro and Shalan and others behind her.
He used his hands and feet to quickly crawl towards Gro. At this time, Gro immediately screamed and shouted for help while running towards Shalan and others.
Seeing Gro running towards her, Shallan took a step forward without any hesitation, grabbed Gro's collar with her left hand and pulled him aside. At the same time, she took out the revolver in her arms with her right hand and pulled the trigger at Amanda who rushed in front of her!
"boom!"
A strange blood flower burst out from Amanda's chest, and the whole person flew backwards and fell to the ground, rolling over and over.
With a slight frown, Shalan had originally aimed at Amanda's head, but his shooting skills were really poor, and coupled with the recoil of the revolver, even though Amanda was not too far away from Shalan, he still missed the target and hit Amanda in the chest.
“Ahhh!”
With a hoarse roar, Amanda climbed up from the ground again and rushed towards Shalan without any hesitation.
This time, Shallan deliberately waited for a while, and at the moment when Amanda almost fell into his arms, he aimed a shot at Amanda's open mouth, causing the back of Amanda's head to explode, and a large amount of black blood and dark yellow brain matter spurted out, and even a strange snake that was severed by the bullet was sprayed out.
Driven by the huge kinetic energy of the bullet, Amanda's body fell backwards to the ground, twitching slightly, and slowly expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hurry up, the body is going to explode!"
Hearing Shalan's words, several people standing at the entrance of the spiral staircase reacted immediately and quickly ran up the stairs. Just when Shalan had not run far, he heard a roar coming from behind, and a large amount of minced meat and blood, along with strange snakes, sprayed into the entrance of the stairs.
The strange snakes twisted for a while and then followed the scent left by Shalan and the others. However, they did not catch up very far. These strange snakes, which could only survive by parasitism, gradually lost their vitality, curled up on the ground, and rolled into a ball, no longer moving.
Shalan and the others were unaware of these changes. They only knew to run up the spiral staircase as hard as they could until they ran out of the passage where the spiral staircase was.
Shalan was the last person to run out of the spiral staircase. When he walked out of the passage, he immediately saw the densely packed square sinks in the empty hall. However, the water in these sinks had evaporated over a long period of time, and even some of the seemingly sturdy metal sinks were damaged.
Looking back at the passage they came from, Shalan did not see any strange snakes following them, so she felt a little relieved and said to the others who were sitting on the ground to rest: "It seems that those strange snakes did not follow us. We are safe for the time being."
After hearing Shalan's words, Ailan said with a sad face: "But Amanda didn't escape with us... and there are other people outside, we..."
"Ai Lan, these are all uncontrollable things. We didn't expect that a normal archaeological activity would turn out like this. If it weren't for the snake tide that forced us all to come to this place and unable to get out, these things wouldn't have happened."
Listening to what Fu said to Ailan, Shalan didn't say much. She just walked to the square sinks, drew out the cross sword, and scratched the bottom of the sinks that were completely covered with dust.
As Shalan explored, the dust-covered objects at the bottom of the tank gradually appeared in front of him. It was a long skeleton that looked like the skeleton of some slender fish, or... a snake!
Frowning slightly, Shalan used the cross sword to pick out the skeleton from the sink, placed it next to Guona, and said to him, "Teacher Guona, I wonder what animal this skeleton is from?"
Looking at the skeleton, Guona put on gloves and examined it briefly before saying, "This is a skeleton belonging to a snake. I'm sure it belongs to a snake."
Hearing what Guona said, Shalan nodded and said thoughtfully: "A snake again? It seems that for the civilization that built this Silaiya Tower, snakes are probably some kind of extremely special existence."
"Shalan, Guona, come and take a look. There are many Mansi American characters carved on this wall."
Shalan and Guona immediately walked over to Fu, raised their flashlights to shine on the words on the wall, and the three of them began to interpret them together.
She activated her special powers and used the same method she had used to decipher the three lines of text on the bottom floor of the Silaya Tower to decipher the Mansmei language on the wall. Soon, Shalan completely understood the meaning of the Mansmei language.
To put it simply, this place is the factory where the church believers of that civilization originally built the Holy Snake to revive the goddess Silaya they believed in. According to the records here, the Holy Snake is a special kind of snake that can absorb all the life energy of believers who want to sacrifice themselves. As long as the Holy Snake absorbs enough life energy for Silaya, the goddess they believe in can be revived from her slumber.
The next parts were some methods on how to create holy snakes. Shallan did not continue reading because he was certain that the so-called holy snakes were the strange snakes they had encountered before. As for the so-called goddess Silaya, she was probably not a serious thing either. A god that could be awakened by relying on this strange snake to devour the life energy of humans could only be classified as an evil god!
In other words, the Silaya Tower that they entered at this time was the authentic relic of the evil god!
