The center of the stage that attracts everyone's attention.
A gleaming white python emerged from under the cloak and danced with Santanica's weak and boneless movements.
This is not a mortal dance.
A magnificent vision of historical changes suddenly appeared in front of Dean's eyes. The white snake meandered on the fertile loess plateau, passing through low grass, dense woods, clear streams, and vast mountains. ...from the ancient times thousands of years ago, through wind, frost, snow and rain, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
The giant stone statues of the Olmecs, the Sayel Palace of the Mayans, the Pyramid of the Sun of the Toltecs, the great temple of the Aztecs, and various ancient buildings were all left behind by the White Snake.
She passed through the churches newly built by the Spaniards and came to the south of Ciudad Juárez. This weird and mysterious club, time and time again, never-endingly offered this team of souls and blood to audiences. Dance of Origins.
The light and shadow overlap and change, and the white snake dances gracefully.
Everyone was intoxicated, as if the dust, dirty desires, and worldly worries in their bodies and minds were washed away by wisps of hot springs. There was only one strong obsession left, kneeling down in front of the great Queen of the Night and giving everything to this dance.
Thump thump thump…
The music slowed down and the illusion suddenly dissipated. People woke up from the heavy history and looked at the goddess with more fervent worship.
The goddess's deep eyes roamed the crowd.
She walked off the stage, stepped on the wine tables, and walked from the entrance of the fascinated men to Ricky Goko in a suit and glasses at the front of the stage. She picked up the half bottle of Cochès wine on the table and poured the cold wine on herself. Liquor.
The next scene is thrilling, but for some unspeakable reason, it can only be described with one word, and that is "foot cup."
The goddess withdrew her shining feet.
Ricky wiped the drink from his mouth, and then seemed to have his brain washed. He stared at the goddess blankly, followed her gentle tugging on the tie around her neck, slowly climbed onto the round table, and retreated to the stage with her.
But a hand stretched out from the side and pressed on Ricky's shoulder, pulling him back to his seat.
This sudden movement was like pouring an ink dot into a perfect oil painting. The aloof goddess fell from the sky to the earth, and the flawless atmosphere that had been carefully created before was broken.
Everyone present woke up from their daze,
"Am I dreaming? I seem to have watched a movie?" A bald man touched his face, which was covered in sweat.
"What a dream! This is a real performance. I've spent the first half of my life in vain!" A young man with a nose ring knocked on the table excitedly.
"That's right, I will never regret seeing such a wonderful dance!" A gray-haired old man slapped his chest regretfully, "But why wasn't I the one who drank the 'foot cup'!"
The men stood up in unison and gave thunderous applause and cheers to the goddess, and the hall became lively.
But a few people sensed something was wrong.
Seth put his arm around the bewildered brother's shoulders and looked at the goddess warily.
The pastor grabbed the cross and quickly told the two children, "Close your eyes and cover your ears."
And Dean stared at the desecrated, flawless and frost-covered face standing on the round table,
"Dear Santanica, Queen of the Night, Guardian Goddess... Ricky Goko is my hostage. You can't just take him away unless you hand over Lena Lu first."
"Lena Lu?" The name made the goddess's eyes flutter, her anger melted like snow, and there was a hint of surprise on her stunningly beautiful face, "What is your relationship with her?"
Her voice was like the sound of nature, and her skin was as delicate as the finest silk. Dean had to concentrate on resisting the temptation that came to him, "She didn't mention it to you?"
"So you are her son Dean?" Apology and pity appeared in the goddess's eyes, and she said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Lena is my friend. She must be very happy to know that you can find me here. , Touched. But I'm sorry, I can't take you to see her, she is lost in the maze. To find her, you must survive to the end of the maze."
"Isn't this a club? Where is the maze?" Dean asked,
"The club is just a facade. This great holy land has its rules, and I am just a bound prisoner. I can't reveal much to you. I can only wish you to survive." Santanica looked at the entrance of the bar. At the door, Dean discovered that the thick stone door was quietly locked, and even if he tried to push it with full force of mind, it would not move at all.
This meant that hundreds of spectators were locked inside the club.
Santanica's eyes moved to Ricky again, pulled his tie for a kiss, and encouraged him affectionately, "My warrior, hold on and save me."
She walked away from the crowd and retreated towards the stage. The men's eyes followed her graceful back, and they clapped and cheered even harder.
Just leave like that?
With a thought, Dean's mind turned into a gentle big hand and pulled Santanica, wanting to keep her, but he suddenly groaned, as if he had violated a prohibition that could not be violated.
Wave-like pressure erupted from the ceiling, below the ground, and in the space, squeezing the bones of Di'an's body from all directions.
The whole world regards him as an enemy.
There is a crisp clicking sound.
More than fifty tons of power consumed each other with the life energy and ghost armor around Dean.
For a moment, he could only sit there stiffly, watching Santanica disappear behind the curtain again.
The lights came on.
"Everyone, it seems that you are very satisfied with the performance of the Queen of the Night." The bartender appeared in front of the stage with a microphone, scanning the excited guests with a smile from the corner of his eyes. He was obviously smiling, but his eyes were like a beast sizing up its fat prey. Filled with greed and desire, "Then it's our turn at Rulang Club to collect payment."
"How much?" the red-haired man wearing a revolver in his crotch yelled, hands on his hips, "Is a hundred dollars enough?"
"Come on, idiot, are you going to insult the goddess with this little money?" The fat man with a big belly and a flowery shirt took the stubble and waved a bunch of green knives, "Let us enjoy Santanica's dance again, I I’m willing to pay ten thousand dollars!”
"A generous gentleman, but just spending money is not enough." The bartender smiled widely with wrinkles on his acne-covered face, and winked at a waitress in the hall, who came and walked to the fat man's side, seductively Looking up and down the fat man's body, his soft hands unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, revealing his fair neck, "Are you willing to dedicate an ear to the goddess?"
"Haha, let alone the ears!" The fat man looked at the group of smiling and cheering companions around him, and patted his chest boldly, "I am willing to sacrifice my life for the goddess!"
"We've accepted it!" The waiter grinned, leaned over and breathed hot air into his ear.
This intimate act caused a burst of jealous shouts from the men nearby.
"Wow... Baby, you are so considerate, but you should be gentler, gentler - ah!" The fat man's contented sigh turned into a painful scream, and the woman bit off one of his ears like lightning. He spat on the ground, and the splattered blood stained the side of the man's face and most of the round table.
Under the bright light, the waitress's mouth was stained with blood, and her rows of small white teeth grew into snake-like conical fangs. Forked letters came out of her mouth, and her azure eyes turned into slit-shaped vertical pupils. , the cheekbones on the originally sweet and charming face protruded outwards, patches appeared on the forehead, and patches of dark brown tough snake scales were drilled out of the smooth skin all over the body.
Nails as sharp as scalpels sprouted from the ends of the hands and feet.
Pfft——
She swung horizontally at the fat man's neck, and her gleaming cold claws brought out bright red blood, which spattered to the ceiling, then fell to the ground, flowing into the gaps along the blood groove-like pattern!
The fat man lay down holding his broken aorta and trachea and began to twitch.
The humanoid monster rushed forward and bit the wound with its mandible, making grunting sucking and swallowing sounds. Centipede-like squirming blood vessels clearly appeared on its face, showing deep satisfaction, as if it was sipping the supreme holy product. .
This bloody accident only happened in an instant. Most people were still envious of the fat man's sudden beauty, but suddenly they found that the sexy beauty turned into a terrifying snake demon.
The hall exploded.
"Oh my god, why did she bite someone, she was bleeding! Is the security guard here? Stop her!"
But the bartenders just looked at this scene with their hands on their chests and smiles, their eyes flashing red with bloodthirsty and hunger, as if they were staring at plates of delicious food.
A group of customers who realized something was wrong rushed to the entrance of the bar and banged on the door frantically, but they couldn't push it open.
Beside the wall on the second floor, more than a dozen hot dancers showed their true colors one after another. They grinned and popped out the two fangs on their gums. They grew scales and claws. They jumped down from the stage on the second floor and rushed in with a fishy wind. Among the dark crowd.
The difference in power and speed between humans and monsters is too large.
It's like a stunted child facing an adult.
A group of unlucky ones were thrown to the ground without any resistance. The snake demon waved its fangs and claws like a dance, causing a rain of blood in the sky.
Some people had their necks torn open, some had their arms broken off, and the worst ones had their heads pulled out directly. Several snake demons opened their bloody mouths to catch the fountain of blood spurting from their necks!
This terrifying scene completely and completely awakened the fear in people's hearts. People screamed in panic, overturned the dining tables, and jumped around the pillars, tables, and stages like headless flies!
A few were brave enough to take out their pistols and shoot a few shots at the snake monsters, but the bullets only slightly broke through the scales around them and were stuck in their muscles, unable to cause any effective damage at all. This angered the snake monsters. , they swarmed up and cut the gunman into pieces in the next second!
"Oh, God!"
"Run!"
A flood of snakemen rushed out from the shadows in the corner of the hall and launched a brutal attack.
The band that had already left the stage also appeared on the stage again at this time, wearing a ferocious scaly face, shaking their heads, playing drums and piano, and singing loudly.
"Come on, come on!"
"brothers and sisters!"
"Kill as much as you like!"
"Drink the nectar!"
“A feast of fresh meat!”
"Inject the venom of resurrection!"
"Join the feast of blood sacrifice!"
Stumped limbs were thrown in the air, blood splattered, screams and wails accompanied by deafening rock music resounded throughout the hall, while the floor of the hall quietly opened cracks, and steaming corpses were pushed into the cracks by the snake demon. The darkness sank into the ground, leaving only the bloody floor.
The originally passionate ballroom turned into a devouring devil's cave. More than half of the more than two hundred guests fell down in the blink of an eye, leaving only a few dozen people.
…
"Watfa! What kind of performance is this!" Brother Goko used all his strength to lift a round table and press a female snake demon against the wall. The Katie siblings each held a table leg and surrounded them. Dean, who was sitting at the back, was protected on both sides of him. The two of them were shaking nervously, but their faces were firm.
Jacob raised the cross in front of the grinning female snake demon, "Our Father in heaven, may your name be hallowed, may your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth..."
The snake demon opened its fangs and swallowed the cross into its mouth, chewed it, and spat out the letter as if to show off.
"Don't waste your efforts, Pastor, this thing is most likely not a vampire, so it's not afraid of any cross exorcism!" Ricky turned and shouted at the dazed Dean, "We can't hold on any longer, magician, wake up! Show me your courage and fight alongside us!"
In the midst of the call, Dean was refreshed. Finally, he had completely eliminated the murderous intention caused by offending the Queen of the Night. A large bright red reminder flashed in front of his eyes - you triggered the event: Fight until dawn!
You walked on a long road and finally arrived at the destination, Rulang Bar, but before you found Lena, a group of aliens with malicious intentions showed their fangs to you!

…
"Sorry, something went wrong just now...get out of the way first!" Dean used his telekinesis to gently push away the five people who were suppressing the snake demon. The moment the snake demon pounced out, his fists spurting out with white flames struck out like lightning. The body of the snake demon.
The life energy as strong as the sun penetrated into the body of the snake demon in the form of pine needles and wreaked havoc, melting bones, muscles, and skin in an instant.
The snake demon exploded backwards into a ball of bloody mince, and drew a red rose on the wall.
Proficiency +2, fighting level 4 (230→232/500).
The flying flesh and blood bounced off Dean and was bounced off by the life shield.
The figure behind Dean blinked at a roaring snake man. An invisible giant palm of telekinesis descended from the sky and hit the ground with a force of thirty tons. The ground shook suddenly and the snake man disappeared. A layer of oval fleshy skin and slightly sunken pits were left.
"Thank you for your protection. Now stand behind me and keep quiet. I will clear the area immediately." Dean took out two pistols from the system and threw them to the Goko brothers. He also took out a magic-breaking arrow and looked around. Lock on the ferocious snake people attacking humans one after another.
Just looking at speed, strength, and resilience, they are probably at the second to third level combat level classified by the special operations department. Killing them basically gives you no attributes, but you can restore a little bit of status.
Dean turned his fingers in a circle, and the magic-breaking arrows began to circle, like silver fish swimming in the river.
His unusual calmness infected several of his companions, and they all watched his every move with bated breath. They saw him suddenly swinging his hand outward, like throwing a dart.
Brush brush brush——
Arrows shot through the air.
A short and brilliant silver light passed through the air, and quickly hit the snake girl who was trying to bite his neck by the red-haired man hiding the gun in his crotch under the dining table on the left. It penetrated the back of her head and exited through the hole in her forehead.
Driven by the power of his mind, the arrow continued to circle the arc and penetrated the back of the leather-clad snake man who was fighting hand-to-hand with Texas Patrol Officer Gonzalez under a light stand on the right. It penetrated the ribs and exited from the chest. The man instantly knelt forward.
The arrow made a series of sizzling sounds as it penetrated the flesh and broke through the air, drawing circles of deadly silver light in mid-air. In just three seconds, it pierced through all the seventy-eight snake-men wreaking havoc in the entire hall.
The members of the Snake Band, who were playing passionately on the stage, fell to the ground, and the music of the dancing demon stopped.
The man who screamed and fled suddenly found that the monster chasing him was frozen in place, with bloody holes on his forehead and left chest.
"Are all the monsters dead?" someone asked worriedly, but before they could cheer and celebrate, the wounds of the monsters that were pierced through vital parts healed visibly, and they regained their mobility and pounced on them with hissing screams. .
"The Demon-Breaking Arrow is ineffective. Simply attacking the regular heart and brain locations...cannot cause death." Dean recalled the Demon-Breaking Arrow and issued an order to Ying. The latter instantly floated into the air in the hall, his liquid eyes scanning the area. The head-snake man flashed the cold aurora.
Put your hands together in front of your chest.
In an instant.
The heart of the snake man who was chasing the prey twitched inexplicably, and his hair, eyebrows, and beard were strangely straightened one by one, as if they had been permed, pointing towards the shadow in the center of the hall.
Shadow spread his hands.
Sizzling——
The air crackled, endless white light emerged, and dazzling lightning bolts radiated around the shadow, passing through the air like forked branches and piercing into the bodies of the seventy-eight snake-men in the hall.
Silver-white electric arcs drilled in and out of their facial features. The snake-men convulsed in the jumping electric arcs, black smoke emitted from their bodies, and bright yellow flames ignited.
The surrounding temperature suddenly increased by dozens of degrees, and a burning smell emerged from the pungent bloody smell.
Those who survived only felt that they were submerged by an extremely huge silver wave. When they came back to their senses, they were surrounded by charred corpses, all of them snakemen.
In just one second, the cruel, crazy, and bloodthirsty monsters fell into a state of half-death and lost their fighting power!
Gulu.
Seth and Ricky swallowed and looked at Dean with disbelief, "Man, this, did you really do this? Are you a human, an angel or a demon?"
"Look, I said, you have no idea who is standing in front of you!" Katie and her brother looked at Dean with admiration and excitement.
"Don't be too happy, they are not dead yet." Dean marveled at the vitality of this group of snake people, then reached into the void and grabbed the full moon bow and ten poisonous arrows.
Draw the bow and cock ten crossbow arrows at the same time.
let go.
The bowstring vibrates.
Whoosh——
Under precise special effects, ten arrows accurately penetrated into the bodies of ten electric-scorched snake-men in different directions. Strong poison poured into the flesh and blood wounds from the arrows and spread throughout the body.
The body of the snake-man who was hit by the arrow shrank downwards, collapsed, and turned into a pool of stinky substance like melted asphalt.
And a large reminder flashed before Dean's eyes——
Proficiency +1
Proficiency +1
Shooting lv4(400→410/500)
…
"Poison arrows work."
Dean waved back ten crossbow arrows, and his hands danced dizzyingly, creating a series of afterimages on the spot, as if three Deans were drawing their bows forward, left, and right at the same time, aiming to shoot at the remaining paralyzed and burned snakemen. target.
Whizzing…
Amidst the continuous buzzing of bowstrings, arrows shot out like fireflies and meteors, and the scorched corpses were pierced and turned into poisonous water.
After two seconds, shoot lv4 (410→478/500).
All the shouting and chasing in the hall disappeared.
Dean looked around, and there was no longer a snake man standing in this flesh-and-blood hell-like hall.
