Chapter 146 9 Snake Country (Fake)

The strange phenomena in the pirate world are often measured over thousands of years.

For example, the thousand-year-old dragon returns to its nest once every thousand years, and the turtle hermit lays eggs once every thousand years.

This all proves that the lifespan of creatures in this world is indeed long enough.

For example, when the Butterfly Fairy said that she had lived for who knows how many years, or that she was some kind of evil beast, it didn't seem like a lie.

Similarly, if a creature can live a long time and maintain great strength, it means that the resources in this world are quite abundant, abundant enough to support such a large number of long-lived creatures.

In the secret book in Kokoa West Village, it is clearly stated that the Kingdom of Cold should be the world country after the land sank, because the Mermaid King is mentioned in it.

That sentence indicates that the civilization that migrated here has been destroyed.

However, there is also a Nine Snake Clan in the outside world, and they have been multiplying to this day. They even live in the doldrums where sea kings gather, and the women on the island can only give birth to girls.

If the Red Earth Continent and the Great Route dividing the four seas can be explained by special geological changes, then the two windless belts with no wind all year round are difficult to explain.

No matter how fierce the storm outside the doldrums is, as long as you are inside the doldrums, you will not feel any sea breeze.

This is no longer ordinary climatology, this is the power of space rules.

If we apply the rules of the doldrums to this Chongyang Tower, everything will make sense.

However, who are these patterns carved here for?

What is the responsibility of the Nine Snakes?

"Three of you. We're here." The old man stopped in front of the two statues and turned to face everyone.

There are two statues, one male and one female. The male has a snake head and a human body, while the female has a human head and a snake body.

"These two statues?" Yun Tianxiang was a little confused.

He could recognize the female snake as a statue of Nuwa, but what the hell was that male snake?

"This is the ancestor of our Nine Snake Clan, the Ten Thousand-Feathered Snake God, and the divine slave who serves him." The old man introduced with pride.

No, that's not right. Something is wrong? Yun Tianxiang looked as if he was dreaming.

When the old man said the word "slave", Boa Hancock's face turned terribly dark, like a thunderstorm about to break out.

"Three of you, please hurry into the village. No one has been here for a long, long time. Everyone will be happy to see you." The old man looked at the three of them with a smile and walked into the tribe first.

"Hancock. Fairy. If anything goes wrong, leave immediately. Don't worry about me." Yun Tianxiang looked at the statue of Nuwa, then glanced at the girl following Boa Hancock. His inner uneasiness became more and more intense.

The girl followed behind Boa Hancock with a shrinking look. Hancock gently touched the girl. She didn't understand why Yun Tianxiang said that. "Tianxiang. No matter what happens, I will face it with you."

"Me too." The Butterfly Fairy spoke in a coquettish voice, which was very seductive.

“Be obedient. Take care of yourselves first, and then come take care of me.” Yun Tianxiang took one last look at the statue of Nuwa, then bowed three times before stepping into the village.

What he didn't know was that when he knelt down, the originally empty eyes of the stone statue began to glow red.

As soon as I stepped into the village, I heard the sound of music coming.

The tribe's terrain is dangerous and it is not affected by much sand and soil.

Facing everyone is the village square, with the old man standing in the center of the square. There is a woman in the center, and two big men. The two big men are having an unspeakable thing with the woman. (Those who understand will understand. I can’t write anything obscure, but the plot requires it. It’s so annoying. Damn Tang Gou, I really want to kill him.)

Seeing this scene, the girl blushed, avoided them and hid behind Boa Hancock.

"Cough cough." The old man coughed heavily twice when he saw Yun Tianxiang and others coming in.

The two strong men reluctantly stopped what they were doing. One of them had a pendant on his ear that looked like a snake but not a snake, and a turtle but not a turtle. After cleaning it up, he smiled and greeted the others, "Welcome to the Nine Snakes Kingdom. I am the lord here, Oda Yoshiyasu."

Yun Tianxiang frowned, but still had a smile on his face. "Hello, Lord Oda. I am new to your land. I have not prepared any gifts. Just a small gift to show my respect."

Several water bottles were taken out from [Wonton Wanli]. The water in the water bottles was quietly filled with water shells on the way here. Judging from the girl's hesitation after taking a sip of water, there is an extreme shortage of water here. In other words, there is an extreme shortage of clean drinkable water!

As soon as they saw the clean and clear water, greed flashed in the eyes of the two strong men. Oda Yoshiyasu smiled and said, "You are a distinguished guest from afar, and you even gave me generous gifts. You are really being polite, Genji. Go, call everyone over, and have a banquet today!!!"

The man called Genji was the other sturdy man just now. The sturdy man lingered on the kettle again and again, then his lustful eyes stayed on Yun Tianxiang and the other two, and finally he quickly ran towards the stone gate of the courtyard.

The Nine Snakes Kingdom was built around twenty super-giant stone pillars.

The inhabitants of the tribe mainly live on the top of the mountain.

The center of the twenty stone pillars is the square, and behind the square is the ancestral temple for worship. There is a chain from the ancestral temple to the top of the twenty stone pillars.

These brown stone pillars are also made of the same raw materials as the historical text.

What puzzled Yun Tianxiang was that there were no pictures carved on these stone pillars. There were only some formula symbols, and the symbols were connected by linear horizontal lines, like the circuits of electronic components.

"The guest is wondering about the carvings on the stone pillar." Oda Yoshiyasu saw Yun Tianxiang following the direction where Genji left, staring at the stone pillar without saying a word, and asked with a smile.

Yun Tianxiang nodded slightly, and his Observation Haki was quietly activated to sense how many people were in this tribe.

"Those are runes for praying for rain. Every few years, we go to the altar on the east side and offer the blood of our people and beasts in exchange for a large amount of rain." Oda Yoshiyasu pointed to the unidentified metal objects blocking the stone pillars. "Every time it rains, these stone pillars will absorb the rainwater and store it there."

Finally, Oda Yoshiyasu looked at the girl and the old man, just smiled and said nothing.

The water shortage here is worse than I thought, but what kind of logic is it that offering blood can exchange for rain?

Yun Tianxiang smiled and said, "Lord Oda, please let me go with you to this sacrifice. I want to see the rain-making ceremony."

"Of course. No problem at all." Oda Yoshiyasu's eyes swept across the faces and bodies of the three people greedily.

Boa Hancock looked at Oda Yoshiyasu with disgust. She couldn't understand why most of the Nine Snakes here were men and the status of women was extremely low.

That’s right, most of the women coming out of the ancestral temple in the backyard were chained. Most of the men were still doing unspeakable things, laughing and joking as they came out.

Yun Tianxiang frowned even more as he looked at these women from the Nine Snakes Kingdom who were worse than dogs.

These women, who were theoretically their relatives, were treated like this by them.

Plus the surname Oda.

Could this Nine Snakes Country be an imposter of the Nine Snakes Tribe?

The more Yun Tianxiang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Boya Hancock looked at Butterfly Fairy and asked quietly, "Are these really the descendants of the Nine Snakes?"

Butterfly Fairy just smiled but didn't answer.

Yun Tianxiang and Boa Hancock each attended the banquet with their own confusion.

At the banquet, the first person to pretend to faint was Yun Tianxiang, followed by Butterfly Fairy, and finally Boa Hancock, who came to her senses, also fainted quietly in her seat.

Tokugawa Yoshiyasu smiled evilly and ordered his men to send the three men into his room.

But when Tokugawa Yoshiyasu returned to his room and closed the door, he would never laugh again...
