"Main sacrifice imprint … main sacrifice imprint!"
Strena muttered to herself. She was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly rushed out of the house. The things along the way fell to the ground, and half of the door was also knocked down.
Immediately afterward, the entire valley trembled, echoing with Strena's angry screams.
The girl moved to the door in panic. She wanted to catch up with her sister, but because she couldn't see, she tripped on something on the ground. Chen Rui frowned. He helped the naga girl who only had the strength of Higher Demon up and walked out of the door step by step.
He saw that most of the hillside in front had collapsed. The ground was full of exaggerated deep ditches which seemed to be the marks of slashes. In the flying sand and gravel, the 6-armed figure roared at the sky. The roar was full of anger and sadness.
"Sister …" The girl's body seemed to have lost the power to support. She could only rely on Chen Rui's support to barely fight. In her dim blue eyes, tears fell down.
From the previous words and deeds, Chen Rui faintly guessed something. This was completely different from his guess of fighting for power before he came. Seeing Strena's grief and indignation for her sister, he inexplicably thought of a certain sister in the palace.
Strena's roar suddenly stopped. Her eyes fell on a figure that appeared in the valley. The figure said in a majestic voice, "Strena, shouldn't you stay on the White Tower Island? Who allowed you to return to the Thunder Snake Island? "
This voice came from a tall naga wearing a black armor and a golden crown on her head. Her face that should have been beautiful was cold and stern, giving people a chilling feeling. She should be the naga tribe's queen.

"Madam tribe leader!" The girl Adeline quickly wiped away her tears and showed a respectful expression. She folded her hands on her chest and bowed deeply.
"Mother!" Strena did not salute. She looked directly at Queen Naga and shouted excitedly, "Tell me! Why Adeline will become the main sacrifice of tomorrow's sea sacrifice! Why do you want to send your daughter to death with your own hands! "
"Strena! You should call me chieftain or Her Highness Modesty! "The Naga Queen said coldly." You already know the answer to your question! The survival of the fittest and the survival of the strong is the tradition of the Naga Clan, not to mention this dangerous Black Sea Region! "
Strena roared fearlessly, "Are you going to watch Adeline be swallowed by that monster! Isn't she your biological daughter? "
"It's precisely because she's my daughter that she has to follow this rule!" Queen Naga glanced at Adeline sternly, "The fate of the naga tribe is originally precarious. How can a naga who has no combat talent and even no fighting spirit protect herself? What could they use to fight? With that ridiculous harp? She's destined to be eliminated! "
Strena shouted hysterically, "She doesn't need to fight! I can protect her! You can do it too! Why won't you do it? If you don't even have the ability to protect your own daughter! How could they protect their clansmen? You don't deserve to be a mother! You don't deserve to be the chieftain! "
Modesty's face suddenly turned gloomy. A terrifying momentum quickly filled the entire valley, "It's not up to you, my daughter, to evaluate whether I'm worthy to be a mother or not. Without me, you won't even have a life! As for the chieftain … Aren't you the heir? According to the tradition, as long as you can defeat me, the position of the chieftain is yours! By then, I can't control who you want to sacrifice the survival rules and fate of the entire naga tribe to protect! "
"Swoosh", Strena's 6 arms had 6 long and narrow scimitars at the same time. Her powerful fighting spirit had surged to the peak in an instant. Her angry eyes were locked tightly on the Naga Queen.
"I'm going to challenge you now!"
"Very good!" Modesty smiled coldly. She slowly pulled out two scimitars with her hands in front. "Let me see how far you have reached. Or rather, let my scimitars tell you what is stupid and what is overestimating yourself! "
Strena's momentum skyrocketed. Her snake body vibrated, and she appeared in front of Modesty almost instantly.
Chen Rui, who was next to Adeline, only saw the sword lights crisscrossing the sky. In the blink of an eye, Strena slashed at least 200 times. Not only the speed, but these high-speed flowing sword lights turned into arcs, blocking all directions of Modesty from top to bottom, front to back, front to back, left to right as if the space was split. There were countless follow-up moves hidden in the arcs. Unless Modesty stood still and waited to be slashed, as long as she moved, it would trigger the chain strangulation of all the scimitars.
Facing her mother whose strength had reached the peak stage of the Demon Overlord and was also the strongest powerhouse in the tribe, Strena went all out without holding back.
Chen Rui, who saw the mystery contained in the scimitars, was secretly palpitating. If he faced this blow, he could only use teleportation to escape the range of the scimitars or block it with the protective shield, then try to counterattack.
In this situation where she was "unable to move," Modesty still moved incredibly. Then, she slashed to the left and to the right.
On the surface, it seemed that she simply waved the scimitars in both hands, but in Chen Rui's feeling, these 2 "simple" scimitars contained a mysterious rhythm. Strena's seemingly impeccable scimitars seemed to be dipped in ink on a neat and meticulous painting. The entire artistic conception including the hidden follow-up move was completely destroyed. Not only that, this large area of ink also forcibly "dyed" the style of meticulous painting into freehand brushwork.
As the scimitars flickered, those "arcs" were broken one after another. Strena's figure staggered back with countless dense bloodstains on her body.
It was just 2 scimitars.
This was no longer just a difference in power, but a huge gap in realm. It was also a scimitar, and it was also the naga's talent martial arts, [Six-blade Stream]. Strena had already tempered this kind of scimitar skill. It was like an object that had been made countless times. She could clearly see which part should be missing and which part should be added even with her eyes closed. However, in Modesty's hands, the [Six-blade Stream] was more like a work. The object could be repeated, but the work was unique.
Strena mastered the "skill" of the [Six-blade Stream], and Modesty had sublimated to the level of "technique". It could be said that this Queen Naga was the strongest weapon master since Chen Rui came to this world. Of course, no matter how strong Modesty's [Six-blade Stream] was, it could not break through the scope of Demon Overlord, let alone truly compete with the kingdomized Venerable level powerhouse or even Demi-God powerhouse.
In the face of an absolute gap in "power", no matter how exquisite the "skill" or "technique" was, it was futile.
However, for the current Strena, Queen Naga was still an insurmountable moat.
"You're biting off more than you can chew! You haven't even used 2 scimitars well, and you want to use 6 scimitars well? "Modesty looked at Strena contemptuously.
Strena roared and pounced again.
"Have you even lost your composure? This kind of childish attack is simply worse than a child who has just awakened the [Six-blade Stream]! "
"Flaws! They are all flaws! Even if you fight desperately like this, you will only fight with your life first! "
"Flashy but impractical! There are too many unnecessary moves! "
"…"
In the sneer of Queen Naga, Strena was knocked down again and again. She got up again and again, then she was knocked down again …
The golden armor was already broken. Her body was full of bloodstained wounds. Some were even deep to the bones. If it weren't for the naga tribe's extremely strong body, she would have been seriously injured and died long ago. This was still because Modesty showed mercy.
Chen Rui could see that although the battle was very cruel, Queen Naga did not really kill. She was more like feeding moves. Many of the key shortcomings of Strena were pointed out. Unfortunately, a certain naga sister had been blinded by grief and indignation. She only thought about how to defeat her mother. Those pointers became real mockery in her ears.
Although Adeline could not see the battle, she could clearly hear everything that happened, but she did not speak to dissuade her. She just covered her mouth tightly with tears, for fear that the sound of crying would disturb Strena.
The girl knew her sister's character very well. Dissuading or crying would only make her sister more irrational.
Finally, Strena, who was exhausted, fell to the ground and could no longer get up. She actually fainted.
"How can you control the naga tribe if you can't even control how much weight you have?" Queen Naga didn't even look at her unconscious daughter. She wriggled her snake body and came to Adeline. She looked at Chen Rui beside the girl with a scrutinizing gaze.
Chen Rui felt a chill on his back as he was swept by the cold eyes. He couldn't help but shiver.
"Who are you? Why did you follow Strena here? "
Chen Rui quickly told her that Strena agreed to exchange the devil fruit for the safety of him and the crew. When Queen Naga heard the words "devil fruit", her eyes flashed. She looked at Adeline, who was sobbing in a low voice, and she immediately understood Strena's intention.
"Demons, I believe you have seen that I will not show mercy to my own daughter. If Strena is not the heir of the naga tribe and is related to the future of the entire tribe, I will execute her for the offense just now." Queen Naga said lightly, "Hand over the devil fruit now, otherwise I will kill you and your companions immediately."
Chen Rui could hear that the ruthless queen would do what she said. He did not dare to hesitate and took out a devil fruit. Queen Naga took the fruit, smelled it, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She did not take it herself, but she looked at Adeline. She glanced at the harp that fell to the ground in the house, pondered a little, turned around, and walked toward the unconscious Strena.
Chen Rui saw it clearly. Modesty bent down and stuffed the fruit into Strena's mouth. This action gave Chen Rui a strange feeling.
"Dear Queen Modesty Royal Highness, I have handed over the most important treasure, the devil fruit. According to the prior agreement, I have the right to ask Your Highness to fulfill your promise. Please let me and my crew live."
A gloomy smile appeared on Modesty's face, "You have to figure out 2 things. First, you may have an agreement with Strena, but it is not with me. I just asked you to hand over the fruit just now. Second, even if I have a promise with you, it is useless because as a sacrifice for tomorrow's sea sacrifice, you have no right, including the right to ask me to fulfill my promise. Someone! Take him away! "
Outside the valley, 2 naga warriors came up and grabbed Chen Rui's arms.
"Sir tribe leader." Adeline said, "Please allow me to have a few words with this Demons."
Modesty frowned slightly, "3 minutes."
Adeline came to Chen Rui by feeling and saluted him, "First of all, thank you for the fruit you brought, but … I'm sorry, I'm very sorry …"
Chen Rui saw the girl's heartfelt sadness and guilt, but he did not blame her. He just said, "My name is Aguile."
Adeline was a little surprised by Chen Rui's calmness. She hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Adeline. The tune you played is very nice. Can you tell me what's your name?"
"Castle in the Sky."
This was a song that Chen Rui liked very much in his previous life. It was played by Master Hisaishi. He was bored at the sea these days, so he finally recalled it and practiced it diligently. He had some small achievements. He wanted to surprise Isabella, but he played it here.
"Castle in the Sky … Is there really a city floating in the sky?"
"Yes, as long as you have hope, it will be in the sky." Chen Rui glanced at Queen Naga and shrugged, "There is a saying in my hometown that life can be strangled, but hope always exists."
"Hope?" Adeline nodded slightly, "Thank you …"
At this time, Modesty's gloomy voice interrupted the conversation between the 2, "3 minutes are up! Demons, don't waste your time. Even if you bewitch my daughter with sweet words, it is useless. She and you can't escape the same fate! Okay, guards, take him away immediately! Then imprison Strena too! "
Chen Rui and the unconscious Strena were taken away. Modesty turned around and walked a few steps. With her back facing Adeline, she suddenly added, "Adeline, the main sacrifice's imprint can't be removed … You should understand."
"I understand. Please tell my sister not to be sad for me. Everything is voluntary." Adeline lowered her head and bowed deeply to Modesty, "And … please also take care, madam chief …"
Modesty stopped and turned her head slightly, "This is the last time, you can call me madam mother …"
Adeline still lowered her head and maintained the salute posture. Her body trembled slightly, but she did not say a word.
Modesty's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak in the end. She turned around and walked forward quickly.
At this time, the crystal tears that had been rolling in her eyes slid down the cheeks of the girl who lowered her head. They seeped into the ground and disappeared.
