The naga did not have medusa's snake hair and snake pupils. Her appearance was no different from humans or Demons. This naga was beautiful with a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Her slightly bronze-colored skin was flawless, and her slightly deep voice was a bit sexy. If one didn't look at her 6 arms and the part below the navel, she should be a seductive beauty.
However, no one would associate the word "seductive" with her now because the 2 choices she gave Chen Rui had only 1 result, death!
"I'm Strena, the young chief of the naga tribe and the leader of the White Tower Front Camp. Now I will give you one last minute to think, otherwise you will choose the first option by default." Strena's words were filled with undisguised murderous intent.
Moore once said that naga was a very powerful race with innate fighting instincts that were far better than ordinary races or demonic beasts. Especially their close combat ability was terrifying. This Strena was definitely a strong opponent.
Naga figures emerged one after another behind, surrounding the entire forest. In addition to Strena, there were at least 1 early stage of the Demon Overlord and more than 10 Demon Emperors. The rest were at least at the later stage of the Demon King.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked. A young chief has such strength, and these nagas are obviously only a part of the naga tribe's power. No wonder the siren tribe can barely seize a small part of the phantom coral to survive after joining forces with the harpy witch. If this force is on land, it can undoubtedly become a very powerful military force.
The power of the nagas did not mean that Chen Rui would be captured without a fight, but it was definitely impossible to resist the enemy with the strength of the peak stage of the Demon Emperor. If he used the [Royal Star Transformation] to launch a full attack, even if he couldn't kill all the nagas, at least it was not a problem to break through the encirclement. However, the sandmen could still be resurrected, but the water elementals definitely couldn't be saved. Not to mention that the water elementals were his crew members, once he lost the navigation of the water elementals, it was definitely impossible to reach the Hidden Misty Island within the time limit of Hegel in this misty Black Sea.
Moreover, he would fall into a deep sleep after the [Royal Star Transformation]. He must not use it until the last moment.
Chen Rui took a deep breath, secretly condensed his power, and asked, "Ms. Strena, before making a choice, I want to ask one last thing. What is the difference between dying 2 days later and dying now?"
Strena looked at the unexpectedly calm enemy and replied coldly, "2 days later, the naga tribe will hold a sea sacrifice in the Hidden Misty Sea. At that time, you will become a sacrifice to the Black Sea God."
Hidden Fog Sea Region? Black Sea God? Naga's sea sacrifice? Chen Rui immediately thought of the Hidden Fog Island, their first stop, and his mind began to spin rapidly.
"Or … if I'm lucky, I might be able to survive the sea sacrifice." As Strena added, a strange look flashed across her green eyes. She seemed to be a little absent-minded. This subtle change was immediately captured by Chen Rui's spirit power. If he wants to make a move or escape, now should be the best time.
At this moment, Dodo's voice came from the naga group, "Master! Help! "
This "timely" voice made Strena's eyes flash, and she instantly returned to normal. The 6 arms holding the scimitars slightly changed their posture.
Chen Rui could clearly feel in his spirit power that his various positions had been locked by the 6 scimitars at the same time. As long as he moved rashly, he would definitely suffer a terrifying attack.
"Time's up! Intruder, tell me your choice. "
Chen Rui frowned as he looked at the sandmen and water elementals. He finally made up his mind and asked tentatively, "Can I use some precious treasures in exchange for the lives of myself and my companions?"
"The most valuable thing is your lives." Strena sneered with a murderous aura, "Don't talk nonsense. This delay will only accelerate your death."
"Madam Strena, please listen to me first. In exchange for my life, I will naturally not be stingy with anything other than life. For example, the most precious legendary … devil fruit? Maybe it can bring an unexpected surprise to sir. "
"Devil fruit?" Strena's green eyes glowed as if with some kind of unusual excitement. Bloodline memory told her that the devil fruit was a legendary rare fruit. In addition to increasing strength, it could also greatly enhance potential. There was even a small chance to obtain additional special abilities.
"Yes, it's the devil fruit." A red fruit appeared in Chen Rui's hand which faintly glowed.
Strena's spirit power was very powerful. She could sense the special breath emitted by this fruit. When she was about to step forward, the fruit disappeared in Chen Rui's palm again.
"Please forgive me, this is just a little space magic trick." Chen Rui showed a firm expression, "As long as sir let me and my companions go, this devil fruit will belong to sir. Otherwise, it will become my burial item. "
Strena stared at Chen Rui for a moment, and she nodded slowly, "If it can really play the legendary role, I can swear by the Golden Tent of the naga tribe to let you go safely. Before that, you must come with me to the Thunder Snake Island to meet someone. "
With that said, Strena waved to the back, and several nagas came forward with some shackles, "This is a blue charm shackle made of blue star heavy water and phantom coral reef. It can confine power and magic power. I warn you, don't try to make any futile struggle."
Blue star heavy water? It seems to be the material needed for the assemble puppets in the ancient alchemy civilization? Chen Rui was slightly startled, but now was obviously not the time to pay attention to this. Under his signal, the sandmen and water elementals did not resist and let the shackles imprison them. Dodo, who was the first captive, was locked in a cage that seemed to be specially made. He looked dispirited, and he obviously suffered a lot.
Chen Rui and others were escorted by Strena and others through the woods to a hillside. There were several huge white stone houses on the hillside. There were dozens of nagas patrolling and guarding. There was also a high lookout tower on the opposite hilltop. This should be a sentry post on the outer edge of the Thunder Snake Archipelago for the nagas.
"Madam Strena, you are back." A 6-armed naga of the early stage of the Demon Overlord greeted them with her hands folded on her chest and bowed.
"Metty, prepare the ship immediately. I want to personally escort these captives to the Thunder Snake Island to meet the madam chief."
Metty frowned slightly, "Madam Strena, please forgive me. The madam chief has specially instructed that you can't leave here without her order."
Strena's green eyes flashed coldly. 6 scimitars suddenly appeared in her hands. Her voice became colder, "I'm the supreme leader of the White Tower Front Camp. I will say it again. Go and prepare the ship now."
Metty felt that she was shrouded by a terrifying killing intent. It was by no means a bluff. She was taken aback, and her body wriggled a few steps back, "No, Madam Strena! The chief is … "
Before she finished speaking, she saw the flashing of the scimitars. The light disappeared in a flash. Metty stood in place with cold sweat on her forehead. Chen Rui's spirit power at the back had reached S +. He could clearly sense that Strena had already slashed 54 scimitars in an instant just now. According to the strength of the Demon Overlord, it was not very fast, but Strena's 54 scimitars were all slashed on Metty's left eyelashes. Exactly 54 lashes were cut off.
This was not a performance, but a real attack. Metty almost had no time to react. Strena could control her power to such a subtle level while waving the scimitars at high speed. It was already difficult to describe this kind of terrifying scimitar technique as "following her heart's desire".
Six-blade attack. This was the naga tribe's scimitar technique that had been deeply rooted in their bloodline. It was vividly reflected by the naga young chief.
Chen Rui secretly thought that if he faced this blow, it would still be difficult to take it head-on even if he activated the [Royal Star Transformation]. They are indeed a tribe with super close combat ability.
"Give me the Thunder Light Ship! Otherwise, I will find it from your corpse! "Strena shouted sternly.
On the surface, Metty's strength level was only 1 small realm lower than Strena, but she was trembling in fear of the terrifying momentum. After hesitating for a moment, she finally took out a coconut-sized transparent ball with a mini purple sailboat inside.
A scimitar in Strena's hand disappeared instantly. After taking the ball, Metty felt that the murderous aura that locked on her gradually faded. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to say anything.
"Kate, Judy, you guys come with me with the team!"
Strena called a dozen nagas. She glanced at Metty who bowed her head and said, "I will explain to the chief." Then, she escorted Chen Rui and others to the back of the sentry post without looking back.
This scene made Chen Rui feel a little strange. Could it be that this young chief is still being sanctioned or suspected by the chief? Or is there any special struggle within the nagas? If there is really something fishy, then the appearance of the devil fruit is probably a hot potato. I better not make things worse.
A few hours later, the group came to the shore on the other side of the island.
Strena threw the ball into the water, and the ball burst like a soap bubble. A large purple ship with a strange appearance appeared in front of them which was exactly the same as the previous "model".
When everyone came to the ship, the nagas began to set sail. According to Strena, the destination this time was the core of the Thunder Snake Archipelago, the Thunder Snake Island, which was the nest of the naga tribe. The strange thing was that this "Thunder Light Ship" seemed to have a strange breath. Although there were many huge sea snakes along the way, they did not attack the nagas.
At the request of Chen Rui, he and the servant were locked in a cell alone. The blue charm prison did not have much effect on Dodo, but the cunning and timid slime was afraid of the naga's power, so he pretended to be restrained and stayed inside obediently.
After the guard left, Chen Rui asked Dodo to slip out. He took out the glasses that the Purple Flame Heart Ring turned into and began to observe the treasure map. Sure enough, he saw that the light spot representing his position had moved a little more toward the center. The seas and islands along the way had been "lit up". When he magnified it with his mind, he could even see some specific scenery and situation. It was just like the satellite map in his previous life, and it was still active. (Real-time monitoring?)
The places that had yet to be explored or reached were still hazy, and they could only see the rough outer appearance. Just this point alone made this treasure map amazing.
After about a day and a night, the Thunder Light Ship finally docked.
Chen Rui and other captives were escorted ashore. This was a huge island that was dozens of times larger than the island where the White Tower Front Camp was located.
Along the way, he could see many nagas. They saluted Strena when they saw her. This should be the Thunder Snake Island where the naga's lair was located.
"You, come with me!" Strena ordered Chen Rui.
Chen Rui thought quickly, "Are we going to see your sir chief?"
"You don't need to know," Strena replied coldly, "You just need to know that if the devil fruit is fake or does not have the legendary effect, then you and your people will become the sacrifice of tomorrow's sea sacrifice."
Chen Rui didn't ask much. He followed Strena forward honestly. They turned around and came to a quiet valley. There was a white hut in the valley. The hut was surrounded by various flowers, exuding a fragrance that was completely different from the sea breeze.
This doesn't seem to be the place where the naga chief lives. Who lives here?
As he approached the hut, there was a sudden sound of a zither inside.
Yes, it's the sound of a zither. After Chen Rui was startled, he immediately confirmed that it was not his illusion.
Strena reached out to stop him, signaling him to stop and not interfere with the sound of the zither.
The 2 stopped and listened together. Chen Rui noticed that when Strena was listening to the sound of the zither, her face, which had always been strong and resolute, actually showed a rare hint of gentleness. The sound of the zither was very beautiful. It could be heard that the performer was quite skilled, but due to the influence of a certain mood, it was difficult to maintain the original calm and quiet mood.
At this moment, a crisp musical instrument sounded. The sound of the zither was driven by this musical instrument and became smooth again. Previously, the musical instrument matched the sound of the zither, then the sound of the zither was gradually led by the rhythm of the musical instrument.
After a long while, the sound of the performance gradually stopped. Strena glared at Chen Rui fiercely. Chen Rui put away the Quqin in his hand and shrugged with an innocent look.
"Is it sister? Did you also bring a special guest? "A girl's voice sounded in the house.
"I'm back, Adeline." Strena's voice became unusually soft as she walked in with Chen Rui.
Although there were not many furnishings in the house, they were all very exquisite. It could be seen that a lot of painstaking efforts were made. The most conspicuous was a naga girl with blue hair and a fresh and beautiful face. She only had 2 arms. There was a golden harp in front of her. It was this harp that played beautiful music just now.
Chen Rui noticed that the girl's beautiful blue eyes looked dim as if … she couldn't see anything.
Strena came to the girl and hugged her gently, "Adeline! I have good news to tell you. I brought back a person this time. This person has the legendary devil fruit. As long as you eat it, your strength will improve greatly, and your physique will also change! "
Adeline was silent for a moment, and she shook her head gently, "Sister, no need, thank you."
"Adeline, there is really hope this time! This person … "
Adeline sighed, "Madam mother has announced in public that I will be the sacrifice of this batch of Black Sea God."
Strena's face changed drastically, "What? Didn't I find so many sacrifices? Why is she still doing this! Don't worry, I will go to her now. With me here, no one can force you! "
"No, no one forced me. I volunteered. Moreover, it's too late because I have accepted the main sacrifice's imprint. "Adeline's words were like a bolt from the blue. Strena was shocked all over, and she was stunned in place.
