Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 418

418
Western Region 10

What happened suddenly before my eyes was slightly beyond my range of perception.

Not only was it that a huge swordsman was suddenly half-eaten by something, but what shocked me the most was that I was seeing scales of a size that should not exist.

If it was this type of scale, it was clearly a snake scale, and its size was enormous.

Normally, even the largest snake’s scales are no larger than a human’s little fingernail, but the scales I was seeing now were the size of a ping-pong ball.

Slowly raising my head, I saw a large scale filling my eyes.

‘Am I in heaven?’

For a moment, I thought that if there was a snake this size, it must be heaven.

I thought I stopped the Black Death’s hand earlier, but did I get stabbed and die?

That kind of thought also comes to mind.

-slap.

When I tapped the ball, it didn’t feel like heaven.

To regain my senses, I slowly looked at the creature in front of me again.

The first thing that caught my eye was the red and white scales of the ones that were hit by the Seomseo Explosion Field and were revealed by the blazing fire.

-Thud thud thud. Thud.

As I followed the scales, I saw pieces of stone falling from the snake’s body that had been wrapped around the severed head of the statue, and the rest of its body was released from the statue.

‘I thought it was a piece of stone, but it’s not a piece of stone, it’s a molted shell?’

As I examined the piece of stone that had fallen towards me, I realized that it was not a piece of stone but a dried scale. At that moment, the giant thing, holding the two people in its mouth, turned its head and looked at me and Lady Cheongyu and asked.

-Shoooo. “What should we do with these, Your Majesty?”

-Shhh. “What should we do with these, Your Majesty?”

He asked what to do with the Black Death Lord and the Musa who were still struggling on their legs.

The guy was calling Lady Cheongyu “Hou”, which is a word meaning king or queen.

I had a feeling that it was probably one of the spirits that served the Golden Crown King.

If that’s the case with that kind of appearance and that kind of title, then it can’t be explained otherwise.

And only then, when I saw the guy turning his head, did the entire shape of the giant snake come into my mind.

At first, when I saw the statue behind it, I thought it was a very unique statue because there were two snake heads on each shoulder of the severed statue, but the torso and two heads were released from the statue.

‘Hey, hey! That’s a giant two-headed snake!’

Yes, what I was seeing right now was a snake slightly larger than the adult size of Cheongban-O-Gong, who was the mother of Cho, Hyang, and Bin.

That too, a two-headed snake.

The loudest scream I’ve ever heard burst from my chest.

‘Gyaaaaaaah!’

Because it is a two-headed snake.

A double-headed snake is a type of deformity that occurs in snakes.

It can be said to be a deformity that appears with a probability of about one in a million.

The occurrence is similar to that of twins, but it is a malformation that occurs when the embryo is not completely separated due to embryonic separation abnormalities or genetic mutations. Usually, when it occurs in the natural ecosystem, most of them die early.

That’s understandable, since each head shares one body and it’s normal for them to try to move in different directions.

As a result, it is common for people to starve to death without being able to go anywhere.

But since the guy is a spirit and can control his body according to agreement, he must have survived until now.

I wanted to raise one in my past life, but I couldn’t raise one because the twin-headed snake wasn’t traded in the first place.

It’s not illegal, but no one wants to deal with it.

Because it is so rare.

So, the price is what you call it, so when someone posts a picture of a twin-headed baby, there is a flood of buyers even from overseas.

That guy is extra large in size.

‘T, this isn’t the time for this.’

Before I knew it, I had hugged his thick torso.

Then I felt the cool body temperature of the snake.

As my whole body trembled at the cool temperature, the snake’s bite continued.

-Huh? 『Huh? This is?』

-Easy? 『Huh? This is?』

As the giant twin-headed dragon tilted its head while holding the Black Death Lord and the Five Poisons each, Cheong-yu So-ja spoke in an embarrassed voice.

-Sia. “This person is Shi, don’t worry about it and just deal with the two guys. So, So-ryong?”

Then the two heads looked at each other and smiled.

-Shuuuuu? “Ah, I get what you mean.”

-Eh? “Oh, I get what you mean.”

Then, he first spat out a bit of the Odokmun’s sword from his mouth, then bit his neck and hit him on the ground several times.

-Thud.

-Bam! Bam!

The warrior of the Odokmun, who had been torn to pieces like a toy with a broken neck, was thrown onto the grass next to the pond.

Then, he bit the leg of the Black Hawk, which was flailing around after spitting out the dead Odokmun warrior’s head.

Then, the Black Death King was in the form of a large two-headed snake with each head bitten on a different side, centered around his waist.

‘W, really? The next scene isn’t what I think it is, is it?’

I closed my eyes without realizing it as I was imagining something terrible and my torso moved.

In an instant, the sound of meat being ripped was heard, and the scream of the spit-out half of the Black Hawk filled the night sky.

“Kwaaaaah!”

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a black dragon screaming near the warrior who had been thrown by the Odokmun.

‘Ugh!’

He was struggling and screaming with his waist cut off.

At that moment, the words I had heard from Hwa-eun came to mind.

Here in the Central Plains, if you commit a crime, they say you will be cut at the waist with a sickle, and when you do that, the person doesn’t die right away. They say he or she will cry out in pain for hours before dying.

The appearance of the Black Death Lord right now was exactly like that of someone who had been executed.

-Shuhu? “It’s a bit noisy, so I’ll clean up. Please step back.”

-Easy? “It’s a bit noisy, so I’ll clean up. Please step back.”

At the words to step back, Lady Cheongyu pulled me away from the tail of the twin-headed man and stepped back a little.

-Sia, “Little Dragon, come to your senses.”

“I’m coming to my senses.”

-Shii. “I knew you’d like it, but I didn’t know it would be this intense.”

As we stepped back, the giant two-headed dragon raised its head and opened its hood.

The color was like a scarlet snake or milk snake, but the base was probably a cobra.

When a cobra feels threatened or excited, it spreads the ribs on its neck to form a hood, which is a symbol of the cobra species.

Snakes with hoods are called cobras.

‘Oh my god! It’s a giant two-headed snake, but it’s a cobra!?’

When I was completely captivated by the sight of the hood spread open, the two-headed man looked at the black dragon struggling in the grass as if aiming at it.

‘Sir, really?’

Surely it’s not a spitting cobra that stings like a spitting cobra?

I didn’t think that it would be a fantasy creature that would completely please the little dragon, but it seemed as if it was the creature I thought it was, as four streams of liquid shot out from its two mouths.

A two-headed snake that spits venom like a spitting cobra at the still-breathing Black Death.

Because of the size of the body, the amount was also enormous.

-Whoa!

-Chiieek!

The Black Death, who was hit by the poison, didn’t even have time to scream as he melted away in an instant, leaving only his bones behind.

‘Wow. Now, this is no joke.’

It feels like a poison with strong dissolving power, like hydrochloric acid or bleach.

I was in the middle of gazing at the guy’s beautiful figure.

An urgent voice was heard from the entrance to the pond, which then turned into panic.

“So, so, hyeop! It’s okay… Huh!”

When we turned our heads, we saw Monk Jaheo looking at us with a surprised expression at the entrance to the pond.

It seemed that Monk Jaheo, who had probably noticed something was wrong with Bin-i’s behavior and ran the fastest, stopped in surprise when he came face to face with the giant two-headed monk.

At the sight of the frozen monk Jaheo, one of the heads of the twin-headed monk looked at Young Lady Cheongyu and asked.

-Shhh? “Should I take care of that too?”

-Sia. “No. That side is our group.”

-Shuu 『I see. It seems like you’re getting along well with humans after this event.』

At that time, Bin-i, Hoo-gae, Ji-ryong, and Lang-hyang appeared behind Monk Ja-heo and asked with their eyes wide open.

-Tsuru “Dad! Huh!? That older sister. No, should I say older sisters? Anyway, who is she?”

“So, so, so, what is that?”

“Wow, it’s such a big snake.”

Everyone was obviously surprised by the enormous figure of the twin-headed dragon, but before they could answer, the sound of wings flapping could be heard from the cliff.

-Tch, tch, tch.

It was the sound of Changcheon’s wings flapping.

As everyone turned their heads in that direction, the situation had already become a chaotic battle without any formation.

“Beware of spirits!”

“Kwaaaaah!”

“You dirty, obscene bastards!”

“Sister, be careful!”

Perhaps because there were spirits involved, the poisonous creatures dug in between the people’s formations to avoid being poisoned all at once, and it seems like a melee has broken out.

Seol Nui and Hwa Eun were facing off against the warriors of Odokmun who were rushing towards them from the back, and they were biting the ones who were rushing towards them from the sky one by one and throwing them over the cliff.

While my brother and sister-in-law were fighting together, a demon was stuck on the cliff and was subduing the Odokmun warriors one by one.

The beads made from the scales of Jeokwol’s older sister were grinding down the Odokmun warriors here and there, but because of the allies, they were not able to make them large enough to cause much damage.

“Everyone, towards the stone wall!”

Now was not the time to let your guard down and be happy about snakes.

What if someone gets hurt during the melee?

As she was about to quickly fly away, Young Lady Cheongyu asked the Ssangdoosha.

-Shii. “Move us over there!”

-Shoo! “Okay, I understand!”

-Easy! 『Okay!』

As soon as Lady Cheongyu gave the order, the two-headed man, carrying Lady Cheongyu on the hood of her neck, moved towards the stone wall.

Because of its large body size, it is incredibly fast.

As the twin-headed snake passed, the snakes in the photo split left and right to create a path.

The stone wall we arrived at next was a bit high, requiring us to climb up a slope, but as soon as the twins raised their bodies, we found ourselves on top of the stone wall.

-Shoooooo!

-Easy!

A two-headed snake that focuses everyone’s attention with a low warning sound even though no one was asked to do so.

Everyone who was fighting stopped and stared blankly at the two heads of the twin-headed warrior.

The fear on the faces of the Odogmun bastards.

The warriors of Odokmun were looking at each other’s faces.

It’s as if, in a state of great fear, you want to rely on others.

I thought it was great, so I shouted out loud.

“Anyone who wants to live should immediately bow their heads! Anyone who bows their heads will be spared!”

Then, the Odogmun bastards lost their will to fight and began to surrender one by one.

The other spirits were not much different in size from an adult male, but they seemed terrified at the sight of the twin-headed monk’s monstrous appearance.

Because overwhelming size means fear.

“Please, spare my life!”

“Please save me.”

It was the moment when the adventure that started with a search for the yellow worm ended with a huge harvest.

***

It was when the battlefield was being cleared by Oryongsambong.

Seol Nui and Hwa Eun approached me and asked, looking at the twin-headed monk lying down next to Sojeong Yu with his eyes closed.

“Hey, what’s this kid, Soryong?”

“Little Dragon, where on earth did this child come from?”

He seemed flustered when suddenly a large snake with two heads was brought from somewhere.

“I don’t know either. Hahaha. Did it just suddenly appear? I think the snake statue wrapped around the large stone statue in the pond was originally this child.”

Then the two heads who had their eyes closed opened them and spoke as if they were slightly embarrassed.

-Shoo. 『I fell asleep while rubbing my body against the stone statue to peel off my skin. I think I fell asleep around New Year’s Day.』

– Easy. “That’s because you fell asleep first. I’m also sleepy···.”

When snakes shed their skins, they usually do so by rubbing their bodies in places like the crevices of trees or rocks.

This is because, as a snake without hands, it sheds its skin by crawling between trees or rocks.

So what they meant was that they were rubbing their bodies together to shed their skin and then they felt better and fell asleep.

That too for about two or three years.

What looked like a stone was clearly the shell of a spirit, and dust had settled on the molted shell, hardening it to look like a stone.

I was wondering why I had slept for two or three years without any purpose, when Ji-ryong came running from the slope below and handed me a book and a folded piece of paper.

“Hey, look at this.”

“What is this?”

“It was found in the body of one of the already dead ones. According to the ones who captured him, he was one of the leaders of the Black Death Squad.”

Is this the possession of one of the Black Death leaders?

When I unfolded the folded paper with curiosity, what appeared was a map.

I unfolded the map and checked the contents. There was one place marked on it.

Is this a map showing the locations of the Black Death squad leader’s locations?

Fabre’s spicy tentacles began to move.

‘You have a feeling, right?’
