Chapter 390 The Meeting of the Patriarchs

The two kids were playing games in front of a cabin. Xiao Bing stopped and found they were a boy and a girl. They looked like humans, but there were still some differences between them and normal human kids. Xiao Bing found them rather cute. Their eyes were overwhelmed with innocence.

Xiao Bing walked over and squatted next to them. Red Rose cast a glance at him and stopped as well, wondering what Xiao Bing wanted to do.

He found the two were playing stones on the ground. Squatting, Xiao Bing said smilingly, “It’s boring just to guess quantity, isn’t it?”

They raised their heads to look at Xiao Bing. Though they looked different from normal human children, their eyes were gleaming cutely. The girl asked, “What should we play then?”

“We have not met you before.” The boy looked wary. Vigilance was rare among the children from the outside. Maybe it was one of the differences, because vigilance was part of the nature of snakes.

Xiao Bing grinned, “I come from the outside. But I’m a friend of your auntie red.” Read at more NovelFull

“Auntie red…” They looked at Red Rose, their eyes winking.

Red Rose smiled, “Right. He’s not a bad guy. He’s my friend.”

“But… But my father said that the people out there are all very bad. They will all be killed when our god is revived.”

Xiao Bing’s heart sank. Red Rose smiled at him awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

These kids had been educated this way for such a long time. Xiao Bing could not imagine the day when they all left the place. He suddenly found this matter very serious. Maybe the people here were like time bombs to the outside world. If the people out there knew about their existence, they might join forces instantly to slaughter them all.

Xiao Bing did not want that to happen. But sometimes a man could not only think about himself. He had to consider the well-being of the people on this good earth.

Xiao Bing sighed inwardly and decided to put this thought away first. He looked at the two and asked, “Do you want me to teach you how to play a game?”

“Of course.” The girl was interested. She seemed innocent and not hostile toward Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing smiled instantly, “Okay. There’s a game called finger-guessing. Who wins can punish those who lose. This gesture means rock and this is scissors…”

This simple game was very popular in the outside world. The two kids were very clever, so they learned it very quickly. Xiao Bing played with them. Red Rose was taken aback when she saw the joy on their faces.

That was what a living man should look like.

Red Rose preferred humanity more than Bai Jun. Just as what as she had said, she loved being beautiful, being flattered and receiving gazes of love from others. She enjoyed it. Maybe the strongest part of the blood running in her veins was more human, so she hated this place, where the strong preyed on the weak.

She had always admired Bai Jun. But when Bai Jun hit her, she realized that she did not feel anything. The love she had for him was gone. She was just obsessed with his face. Bai Jun was doubtless the most handsome man in both worlds. But she found that this man did not have the thing she cared most–human emotion.

But she found it in another man–Xiao Bing, who seemed truly happy when playing with the two kids. The smile on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts. That was the life she had been hoping for.

Then a man and a woman who both seemed to be in their forties, came out from a cabin. The rags covering their body could barely be called clothes, and they could not be called good-looking.

They had not expected their kids to be playing with a stranger. “Come back here and stand behind us.”

The two kids were having fun with Xiao Bing, but they walked back to their parents, reluctantly.

The couple cast Xiao Bing a hostile glance, which he had seen in the eyes of the boy. But the boy’s glance was less aggressive. After all, he was still young. The hostility from these adults were rooted in their hearts. It was not until now that Xiao Bing realized how different Red Rose was. After all, she had been living in such an environment for her whole life.

Then the couple saw Red Rose standing beside Xiao Bing. They greeted her immediately with reverence.

“He’s my friend.” Red Rose said.

The couple seemed surprised. But she was the second patriarch in this world. They did not dare to say anything, although they did not like Xiao Bing. The man said excitedly, “Second Patriarch, it’s said that there is a high possibility that the ceremony this time can bring our god back to life.”

His wife also seemed excited, “If the ceremony succeeds, we can get out of here to see the outside world.”

Then several pedestrians approached them, and twittered, “My lord, will the ceremony be successful this time?”

“Can we finally leave this place? We have been trapped here for so long. We are all curious about the world outside.”

“Second Patriarch, can you tell us if the Great God Orochi can be revived?”

“Will our god lead us to freedom once again?”

Red Rose and Xiao Bing were surrounded by these people. Red Rose noticed the excitement in their eyes. Some of them even burst into tears. They had been waiting for this moment for so many years but it always seemed very far. Some of them were already 40 or 50, and if this time it failed, they would have to wait for another dozen years for the next ceremony. This could be their last chance.

Red Rose answered sternly, “I assure you that this time the ceremony will work. King Mamba and the Great Patriarch said it themselves. I promise you that!”

“We will be elated if we succeed!”

“Our Great God will be revived!”

“The sun will finally shine on us again!”

“We will be reborn if our god is revived.”

Xiao Bing realized the importance of Orochi from the excitement on their faces. Some of them were even about to cry.

But Xiao Bing could not let that happen. Because if they succeed, it would be a catastrophe for mankind.

In the meantime, the green liquid was still boiling in the pit below the ground. Waves of heat rose from it. Feng XIII was standing beside it, but he found that he could not take the formidable heat here.

Bai Jun walked in from outside. He approached Feng XIII and said, “King Mamba, how’s it going now?”

Feng XIII’s eyes were still fixed on the pit. Frowning, he seemed to be pondering on something. He suddenly shook his head, which made Bai Jun feel as if something was wrong. “Impossible?” He asked.

“I’m not sure.” Feng XIII said in a low voice. “But we must make sure everything is perfect this time.”

Bai Jun asked earnestly, “What do we still lack? Is the tonic not enough? I know one tonic that can…”

Feng XIII shook his head and said, “You mean the one beside the Second Patriarch. I don’t need him now. We all know that tonics must be continuously provided during his resurrection. This time I captured one. The blood running in his veins is different. I suppose he is the descendant of the god of the humans. With him, the chance of success is 80 percent, but it’s still not 100 percent.”

“But it’s still a high percentage, especially for a ceremony like this.”

“But we must make it 100 percent. Because we cannot wait for another 40 or 50 years.”

“Yes.” Bai Jun said, “Do you know any way that can help us to achieve it?”

“Yes. But it’s rather brutal.”

“Rather brutal? As long as our god can be revived, this world will lie within the serpent clan’s grasp. We shall do it, no matter how brutal it is.” His eyes showed his resolution.

“Good. I knew you would think this way,” Feng XIII said, the praise plain in his eyes. “My lord, you have always been the true fighter of the serpent clan, and the most dedicated supporter of the resurrection of our god. Then there should be a meeting. Let’s go to the patriarchs’ hall and summon the four patriarchs to have a discussion. It cannot be done without your approval. Let’s go there and I’ll tell you about my thoughts…”

Feng XIII’s eyes gleamed with insanity, a strange sense of cunning and ambition.

As Feng XIII’s ambition grew, this land for these half-snakes would finally be ushered into a new era!
