Strina muttered to herself, stayed for a moment, and suddenly rushed out of the house, knocking things down along the way, and the door was also knocked down in half.
Immediately afterwards, the entire valley trembled, echoing with Strina's angry screams.
The girl moved to the door in panic, trying to catch up with her sister, but because she couldn't see, she tripped over something underground. Chen Rui frowned and helped the Naga girl, who only had the strength of a high-level demon, up.
, walked to the door step by step.
I saw that most of the hillside in front of me had collapsed, and the ground was full of exaggerated deep grooves crisscrossing each other, which seemed to be marks made by knives. Amidst the flying sand and gravel, the six-armed figure looked up to the sky and roared, and the scream was full of emotion.
Anger and sadness.
"Sister..." The girl's body seemed to have lost the strength to support her. She could only rely on Chen Rui's support to fight. Tears fell down one by one in her dim blue eyes.
From the previous words and deeds, Chen Rui vaguely guessed something, which was completely different from the speculation he had about fighting for power before coming. Seeing Strina looking so sad and angry for his sister, he inexplicably thought of a certain palace official.
sister in.
Strina's roar suddenly stopped, and her eyes fell on a figure appearing in the valley. The figure made a majestic voice: "Strina, shouldn't you stay on White Tower Island? Who allowed you to return to Thunder Snake Island?"
This voice came from a tall Naga, wearing a black armor and a golden crown on his head. His face that should have been elegant was cold and stern, giving people a chilling feeling. He should be Naga.
The queen of the clan.

"Master Patriarch!" The young girl Adeline quickly wiped away her tears, showed a respectful look on her face, folded her hands on her chest, and saluted deeply.
"Mother!" Strina did not salute, looked directly at Queen Naga, and shouted excitedly: "Tell me! Why will Adeline become the chief priest of tomorrow's sea festival! Why do you want to send your daughter to death with your own hands!"
"Strina! You have to call me the Patriarch or Your Highness Modesty!" Queen Naga said coldly, "I actually already know the answer to your question! Survival of the fittest. Survival of the fittest is the tradition of the Naga clan, let alone in this world.
The dangerous dark sea area!"
Strina roared without fear: "Are you going to watch Adeline being swallowed by that monster! Isn't she your biological daughter?"
"Just because she is my daughter, she must abide by this rule!" Queen Naga glanced at Adeline solemnly. "The fate of the Naga family was originally in danger. A Naga who has no fighting talent, and a Naga who can't even fight."
Naga, who has no fighting spirit, how can she protect herself? What can she use to fight? With that ridiculous harp? She is destined to be eliminated!"
Strina yelled hysterically: "She doesn't have to fight! I can protect her! You can too! Why are you unwilling to do this! If you don't even have the ability to protect your own daughter! How can you protect your tribe? You are not worthy of this position at all.
Mother! You don’t deserve to be the leader of this clan!”
Modesty's face suddenly darkened, and a frightening aura quickly filled the entire valley: "Whether I am worthy of being a mother or not, it is not your daughter's turn to judge. Without me, you don't even have a life."
Yes! As for the clan leader... aren't you the heir? According to tradition, as long as you can defeat me, the position of the clan leader is yours! I don't care who you want to sacrifice the survival rules and destiny of the entire Naga clan to protect.
It’s gone!”
With a "swipe" sound, Strina's six arms had six long and narrow scimitars at the same time. Her strong fighting spirit had reached its peak in an instant, and her angry eyes were locked tightly on Queen Naga.
"I'm going to challenge you now!"
"Very good!" Modesty smiled coldly, and slowly pulled out two scimitars with her hands at the front. "Let me see how far you have reached. In other words, let my knife tell you, what?
It’s called stupidity, what does it mean to overestimate one’s capabilities?”
Strina's whole body's momentum surged. The snake's body shuddered and appeared in front of Modesty's eyes almost instantly.
Chen Rui next to Adeline only saw the sky full of sword light. In the blink of an eye, Strina slashed at least two hundred swords. Not only the speed, these high-speed flowing sword lights turned into arcs, lifting Modesti.
All directions up, down, front, back, left, right, and right are sealed, as if the space is split. There are countless back-up moves hidden in the arc. Unless Modesti is waiting to be stabbed, all she needs to do is move.
It will trigger a chain strangulation of all swords.
Facing her mother, whose strength had reached the peak of the Demon Emperor and was also the strongest in the clan, Strina went all out and didn't hold back at all.
Chen Rui, who saw the mystery contained in the sword light, was secretly palpitating. If he faced this blow, he could only use teleportation to escape from the range of the sword light or use a protective shield to block it, and then try to fight back.
In this "unable to move" situation, Modesty still moved incredibly. Then, she slashed once to the left and once to the right.
On the surface, it is just a simple wave of the scimitar with both hands. However, in Chen Rui's feeling, these "simple" two swords contain a mysterious rhythm. The seemingly impeccable light of Strina's sword seems to be neat and neat.
The fine gongbi painting was dipped in a large swath of ink, and the entire artistic conception, including the hidden backstrokes, was completely destroyed. Not only that, this large swath of ink also forcibly "dyed" the gongbi style into freehand brushwork.
As the sword light flashed, those "arcs" broke one after another. Strina's figure staggered backwards, and countless dense blood marks were already visible on her body.
Just two swords.
This is not just a simple difference in strength, but a huge gap in realm. It is also a sword, and it is also Naga's natural martial arts six-sword style. Strina has perfected this sword skill thousands of times, as if she has made countless
There are objects all over the place, which point should be reduced by one point, which point should be added by one point, you can clearly understand it even with your eyes closed. However, in the hands of Modesti, the Six Sword Style is more like a work, and the objects can
It's repetitive, but the work is unique.
Strina has mastered the "skills" of the Six Swords style, while Modesti has advanced to the level of "method". It can be said that this Naga Queen is the strongest weapon master since Chen Rui came to this world. Of course.
No matter how powerful Modesty's Six Swordsman style is, it cannot break through the realm of the Demon Emperor, let alone truly compete with nationalized masters or even demigods.
In the face of an absolute gap in "power", no matter how exquisite the "technique" or "method" is, it will be in vain.
However, for the current Strina, Queen Naga is still an insurmountable barrier.
"What a lofty goal! You can't use two knives well, but you want to use six knives well?" Modesty looked at Strina with contempt.
Strina roared angrily and pounced again.
"Have you even lost your calmness? This childish attack is simply worse than a child who has just awakened to the Six Sword Style!"
"Flaws! They are all flaws! Even if you try your best like this, you will only risk your own life first!"
"Flashy! Too many redundant actions!"
"..."
In the sneer of the Naga Queen, Strina was knocked down again and again. She got up again and again, and then was knocked down again...
The golden armor was in dilapidated condition, and the body was covered with blood-stained scars, some of which were as deep as the bones. If not for the extremely strong bodies of the Naga clan, they would have died of serious injuries long ago. This was because of Modesti's mercy.
Chen Rui could see that although the battle was very cruel, the Naga Queen did not really kill, but was more of a feeder. Many of the key shortcomings pointed out were Strina's key shortcomings. Unfortunately, a certain Naga sister has been filled with grief and anger.
She lost her mind. She only thought about how to defeat her mother, and those instructions became real ridicule 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 streaming down her face, for fear that the sound of crying would disturb Strina.
The girl knows her sister's character very well, and discouraging or crying will only make her lose her mind even more.
Finally, the exhausted Strina fell to the ground and could not get up anymore. It looked like she had fainted.
"If you can't even control how much you weigh, how can you control the Naga clan?" The Naga Queen didn't even look at her daughter who was seriously injured and unconscious. She squirmed in front of Adeline with her snake body and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Looking at Chen Rui beside the girl.
Chen Rui was glanced at by that cold look, a chill ran down his spine, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Who are you? Why did you follow Strina here?"
Chen Rui quickly told Strina that she had agreed to use Devil Fruit in exchange for the safety of him and the crew. When Queen Naga heard the words "Devil Fruit", her eyes flashed, and then she looked at Adeline who was sobbing softly, and she suddenly understood
He understood Strina's intention.
"Demons, I believe you have also seen that I will not show mercy to my own daughter. If Strina is not the heir of the Naga clan and the future of the entire clan is related, I will execute her just for the offense just now." Na.
Queen Jia said calmly: "Hand over the devil fruit now, otherwise I will kill you and your companions immediately."
Chen Rui could tell that this ruthless queen could do whatever she said. She did not hesitate and took out a devil fruit. Queen Naga took the fruit and smelled it. Her eyes suddenly lit up. She did not
He took it himself, but looked at Adeline, glanced at the harp that fell on the ground in the room, pondered for a moment, turned around, and walked towards the unconscious Strina.
Chen Rui saw it clearly. Modesty bent down and stuffed the fruit into Strina's mouth. This action made Chen Rui feel a strange feeling.
"Dear Your Highness Queen Modesty, 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 cold smile appeared on Modesty's face: "You need to make clear two things. First, you and Strina may have an agreement, but it is not with me. I just asked you to hand over the fruit. Secondly, you and Strina may have an agreement, but it is not with me. I just asked you to hand over the fruit.
, even if I make a promise to you, it’s useless, because as a sacrifice for tomorrow’s sea festival, you no longer have any power, including the power to make me fulfill my promise. Come on! Take him down!”
Two Naga warriors came up from outside the valley and grabbed Chen Rui's arms.
"Lord Patriarch," Adeline said, "Please allow me to have a few words with this demon."
Modesty frowned slightly: "Three minutes."
Adeline came to Chen Rui based on her feelings and saluted him: "First of all, thank you for the fruits you brought, but...I'm sorry, very sorry..."
Chen Rui saw the girl's heartfelt sadness and guilt, and did not blame her. He just said: "My name is Agulie."
Adeline was a little surprised by Chen Rui's calmness. She hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Adeline. The music you play is very nice. Can you tell me your name?"
"Castle in the Sky."
This is a piece that Chen Rui liked very much in his previous life. It was played by master Joe Hisaishi. I was bored at sea these days, so I finally remembered it and practiced it diligently. I have achieved some success. I wanted to give Isabella a piece of music.
Surprisingly, I opened one here.
"City in the Sky...is there really a city floating in the sky?"
"Yes, as long as you have hope, it is in the sky." Chen Rui glanced at Queen Naga and shrugged, "There is a saying in my hometown, life can be strangled, but hope will always exist."
"I hope?" Adeline nodded slightly: "Thank you..."
At this time, Modesty's serious voice interrupted the conversation between the two: "Three minutes are up! Demon, don't waste your efforts. Even if you use your sweet words to seduce my daughter, it will be useless. She and you
There is no way to escape the same fate! Okay, guards, take him away immediately! Then imprison Strina too!"
Chen Rui and the unconscious Strina were both taken down. Modesty turned around and walked a few steps, turned her back to Adeline and suddenly added: "Adeline, the brand of the officiant cannot be removed... you should understand.
"
"I understand. Please tell me, Patriarch, not to be sad for me. Everything is of my own free will." Adeline lowered her head and bowed deeply to Modesty. "Also...please take care of yourself, Patriarch..."
"
Modesty stopped and turned her head slightly: "This is the last time, you can call me mother..."
Adeline still lowered her head, maintaining the gesture of saluting, her body was trembling slightly, but she didn't say a word.
Modesty's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. She turned around and moved forward quickly.
At this time, the crystal tears that had been swirling in her eyes just slipped from the cheek of the girl who lowered her head, dripping into the ground and disappearing.
ps: This chapter was originally 3,000 words, but the plot and the emotions of the characters needed to be coherent, so I wrote it to 4,000 words. I was busy with work and the time was too tight, and I wanted to ensure the quality. It was really hard to write, but I know
Everyone has been waiting very hard. I apologize to everyone for posting this so late. (To be continued.)
