Chapter 2265 - 2265 Tongue Formed From Snake Scales!
2265 Tongue Formed From Snake Scales!
At first, the anterior of Green Vine’s vine formed a triangular shape. However, it had now transformed into a lifelike snake head, complete with a prominent bump. Upon closer inspection, one could see a golden horn protruding from the skin.
Lin Yuan thought, Perhaps, the horn might grow longer if I obtain more of the dark gold snake scales and feed them to this vine.
Just as Lin Yuan thought that Green Vine’s changes due to the absorption of the four dark gold snake scales were coming to an end, Green Vine started to shake violently as though something was trying to break out from within it.
Lin Yuan immediately became anxious.
It was only because he was able to sense through their spiritual connection that Green Vine was fine and that Green Vine still appeared to be perfectly happy that some of Lin Yuan’s worry was alleviated.
Suddenly, the sound of gold and stone grinding against each other was let out from the mouth of the snake head on the vine’s anterior.
Soon, Lin Yuan saw the five snake scales join together to become a tongue that stuck out from the snake head’s mouth.
The swaying snake tongue was burning with fervent flames, and the dark gold flames were so intense that they turned a pure black.
The black flames were full of the aura of annihilation.
When the tongue composed of the five dark gold snake scales flicked out of Green Vine’s anterior, Green Vine’s shaking became less intense, and its evolution approached its end.
Green Vine used Swallow Same Source to consume the four dark gold snake scales and had undergone another monumental change.
Green Vine maintained its original appearance when it only absorbed one dark gold snake scale.
But now, its vine looked no different from a real snake.
Green Vine could comfortably spit out the five dark gold snake scales.
After the five dark gold snake scales caused Green Vine to transform, they became its strongest weapons.
Lin Yuan casually fed 100 spirit qi crystals to Green Vine to help it to replenish the spiritual power it had used up when it was absorbing the four dark gold snake scales.
When Green Vine changed into human form, Lin Yuan realized with a shock that the exterior of Green Vine in human form had changed drastically.
Green Vine’s entire aura had changed from that of a charming lady to that of a pure and beautiful queen.
Every one of its smiles was filled with evil, seductiveness, and scorn. With this appearance, Green Vine was even more terrifying.
As it followed Lin Yuan around in the outside world, its present but also absent aura of annihilation would be enough to strike terror in a powerful Dictator.
Through his interaction with East Glow, Lin Yuan guessed that there would be other Dictators attending the Banquet of Everything.
Lin Yuan did not just release the news of the small source fruits to attract Apostles but also tempt Dictators.
Rather than trying to obtain deals from Apostles, Lin Yuan would definitely be able to obtain more from Dictators.
In the past, Lin Yuan had no idea how he would maintain his facade as a Dictator in front of other Dictators. But now, a way had opened up for him.
…
There were many veteran Apostles from Marsh East Palace who had asked to see Lin Yuan in the past few days.
Regardless of how these veteran Apostles felt about Lin Yuan, and no matter how much they did not welcome him to remain in Marsh East Palace for long, they still needed to put on the appropriate attitude.
If an Apostle was rude to a Dictator, it would have no choice but to die there and then. In the marsh world, Dictators did not need any reason to take the lives of Apostles.
But after accepting East Glow as a follower, Lin Yuan refused to see the other Apostles from Marsh East Palace.
East Glow ran to where Lin Yuan resided thrice a day. The veteran Apostles were strong-headed and argumentative when they faced Second Born and Third Born as they had been unwilling to give access to the space between the main hall and sacrificial lane to hold the Banquet of Everything.
But when a Dictator decided to reside there, all of them had shut their mouths and dared not protest in the slightest.
Dictator Ten Thousand Source had already moved in. There was no way that they could chase out a Dictator for the sake of their pride. Apart from them, not even the entire Marsh East Circle had the pride to compete with a Dictator.
East Glow’s main reason for coming to see Lin Yuan was to report news and provide information, as well as receive the marsh soil and source totems that it had collected for him.
As the leader of the veteran Apostles from Marsh East Palace, East Glow wielded significant authority. All it needed to do was let the other veteran Apostles know, and it would be able to collect all of the marsh soil from the Marsh East Palace’s treasure vault.
The other veteran Apostles were all curious about this as they did not understand why East Glow needed such a large amount of marsh soil.
It not only needed high- and top-grade marsh soil but even low- and mid-grade marsh soil.
East Glow knew that pure source-type power was the most precious of all the resources it needed.
Since marsh soil and source totems would allow Lin Yuan to trade for pure source-type power, East Glow used all of the resources it had accumulated over the years to trade for all of the marsh soil that the other Apostles from Marsh East Palace had.
All of them had done as East Glow asked.
Although East Glow was already following Dictator Ten Thousand Source, the veteran Apostles would still be following East Glow’s lead in representing Marsh East Palace to interact with the Palace of Everything.
If East Glow decided to leave, the burden of the job would fall on their shoulders. Thus, the Apostles had all set their prices very low when they traded for resources with East Glow. East Glow did not take long to collect all of the marsh soil from these Apostles.
Alas, it was not as easy to collect source totems. East Glow could not trade for them from the other Apostles like he did with the marsh soil. It also could not take possession of all the source totems in the Marsh East Palace’s treasure vault.
The other Apostles could ignore resources of the marsh soil’s level, but it would definitely attract questions if it started gathering source totems.
As such, East Glow started to think.
All of a sudden, it came up with an idea.
When East Glow spoke with Lin Yuan, it noticed that Lin Yuan did not discriminate against having an old Apostle like it as a follower.
Not all of the veteran Apostles in Marsh East Palaces were complacent and rotting internally—a small portion of them was just like East Glow and wanted to follow Dictators.
