Chapter 711: A Torrent of Serpents

she is nothing.Just like those initial taunts, if it wasn't for her unexpected pregnancy with the Jun family's child, Qiao Baoer would be nothing. No one would care about her.This is not a time for se..."Then you detonate the waterfall, none of us can escape, we'll all be buried here together. The scenery isn't bad."

The heads of the Strozzi family are not to be trifled with.

The Lord's Shepherd is no pushover either, unfazed by the threat, he retorted, "Are you truly going to unleash the Nagas"

"No, it won't do."

"Under no circumstances can Nagas be allowed out."

The several stubborn elders around the chieftain were momentarily unsettled and blurted out hastily, they would rather die than let Naga come out.

Only Elder Frasco's face was strange, silent.

Although the chief's position is unquestioned, on this eerie island, he still needs the support of the eight elders. Many important matters require the elders to handle them. The elders are loyal to the chief, but these old fellows hold considerable power on the island.

"Chieftain, be sure to think carefully."

"Chief, we don't have to confront these islanders head-on. This is our territory, and we can do many things privately. Let's just hold off for now..."

"No matter what, we can't let the Naga see the light of day again. These people just want to leave the island safely; we can make a deal with them..."

The elders immediately huddled around the chieftain, whispering advice in hushed tones.

They whispered amongst themselves, the roar of the powerful waterfall effectively masking their hushed conversation. Junzhi Mu and Raphael could only guess at what they were discussing by observing their expressions.

However, Junzhi Mu noticed something peculiar. All the elders looked worried and kept muttering to themselves, but the Grand Elder, Vasko, didn't offer any advice to their leader.

Elder Frasco's eyes showed anxiety, glancing frequently at the waterfall.

"Elder, do you think I should detonate the explosives now to lure Naga out" Jun Zhi Mu suddenly shouted across to the opposite side.

The Elder hadn't expected him to suddenly question him. This question, for others, wouldn't be difficult to answer, but he seemed rather hesitant and uncertain how to respond.

Of course, Junzhi's original intention wasn't to die here with these people. The chieftain and the elders wouldn't want to die like this either. So, the whole exploding the explosives thing was just talk, meant to give the other side something to worry about, adding a little leverage to the upcoming negotiations.

Unlike them, Elder Can seems to have some different ideas hidden away.

"Grand Elder, why don't you answer such a simple question Did you make a deal with Naga Did you promise to let it out"

The lord’s mind was sharp, and he recalled the first time he saw the serpent god. When the elder had met with the serpent god Naga, what had they spoken of What could the serpent god desire most It must be to leave the great waterfall.

Otherwise, a being like Naga, who looks down on mortals and considers himself a god, would never willingly do anything for such a tiny human.

The deal between the Grand Elder and Naga.

Upon hearing this, the chief and the other elders' expressions changed drastically. Elder Frasco's eyes flickered with guilt, and he became enraged, shouting, "You outsider, be bold!"

"To dare speak such lies and twist the truth before the leader himself!" Grand Elder Frasco turned, his face flushed with anger as he urged the servants on either side, "Immediately apprehend this lot!"

"Fresco, you dare deceive me—"

This raspy, aged voice echoed throughout the entire valley, reverberating continuously like a giant wave surging from the deep sea, filled with boundless fury.

Even trapped within the great waterfall, Naga could hear the sounds outside the cave. Naga was furious; this human had deceived him.

Naga lashed his massive serpentine body in the Water Curtain Cave, roaring with fury. Time and again, he slammed his serpent head against the narrow exit, causing tremors that shook the mountains outside the waterfall as if the enraged beast would burst forth and break through the earth itself.

Elder Frasco's face was grim, but he couldn't explain himself at this moment. The others were affected by the violent earthquake and could barely stand, they nervously turned their heads towards the waterfall in fear, worrying that it wouldn't be able to hold back the serpent god Nagas inside.

Just then, countless serpents as if hearing the call of the snake god Naga, the surrounding trees and shrubs made a hissing sound. They turned their heads to see that in the water, on the trees, and in the jungle there were countless serpent shadows. These ferocious snakes attacked with lightning speed.

Ah—

"Snakes, many snakes, are coming towards us—" The elders' faces were filled with terror.

The serpent god Naga was furious and wanted to kill them all.

This valley was never meant for them to be in. It is the dwelling place of the gods, and the waterfall's suppression holds this valley as a prison for the divine.

The leader's armed men also showed fear, although they were armed with guns and ammunition, how could they withstand the encirclement of so many snakes

"Bring me the staff!"

The chieftain's face darkened. Seeing this, he no longer wasted time with his two children. He was tall and imposing, striding toward Qiao Baier in a rough and direct manner.

Junzhimu swiftly shielded Qiao Ba'er behind him, his icy voice dripping with sarcasm. "Shouldn't the Great Chieftain prioritize dealing with this surging horde of snakes first Even your bullets won't be enough to quell their fear."

The chief was furious, "Get out of my sight!"

As they spoke, the leader's fist came hurtling towards Jun. He ducked aside and retaliated with a kick to the leader's side, and the two immediately engaged in a fierce fight.

"Snake, here, the snake is coming—"

At this moment, the nearest venomous black-spotted red snake had pounced over. The snake was ferocious and immediately frightened the weak elders who cried out in terror and fled everywhere.

The Second Elder shouted loudly, "Leader, snakes fear fire, we should use fire against them."

"Even the Guardian knows things are urgent, but he's not one to sit back. While fighting the leader, he argues, 'I won't detonate the explosives. I can cooperate with you against these serpents... the staff will be returned when we leave the island.'"

"In my place, you haven't the right to speak." The chieftain was extremely displeased with Pastor Jun's tone.

The chieftain was accustomed to people's obedience, not this young upstart daring to make demands in front of him.

The chieftain was old after all.

Jun Zhi Mu's boxing foot kicked sideways, hitting the chieftain on his left chest. The pain in his left leg made him kneel down with one knee. This enraged the chieftain even more, he got up wanting to fight again but he was never a match for Jun Zhi Mu.

Just to the side, Qiao Baoer and Raphael watched the fight. Raphael secretly delighted that his father was being beaten, sure enough, he was getting old.

Meanwhile, Old Ghost and his men were frantically shooting at the large snake swimming towards them from the lake. The sound of gunfire, the roar of the waterfall, and the clashing of swords between Jun Zhi Mu and his group created a chaotic scene.

The more chaotic the scene became, the more advantageous Junzhimu's position was, as they were already at a disadvantage. With these snakes causing trouble, it actually benefited him. He stuck to his stance, "We will return the scepter, but we must first ensure our safe departure from the island." He stressed this again.

The elders, seeing the ever-increasing number of snakes swarming towards them, were frightened out of their wits. "If you have a way to deal with these snakes, we will agree to..."

The chief wouldn't allow himself to lose this negotiation. Turning to his son, he snarled, "Raphael, if you don't give me the staff right now, I will burn your mother's flesh."

The leader's expression was serious.

He would truly burn the body of his first wife, Eliza, with his own hands.

Raphael had gone to all this trouble, seeking the staff, only to find the Fountain of Rejuvenation and bring his mother, Elisa, back to life.

Raphael's thoughts raced for less than half a second, his eyes resolute. He suddenly pushed Qiao Baoer towards her father.

The chieftain swiftly snatched the scepter and pushed Qiao Baoer aside with disdain. Jun Zhimu, unwilling to fight, immediately stepped forward to help her up.

Qiao Bao'er was still dazed, she hadn't reacted yet, but she had already been treated like cargo and tossed around.

This father and son, are selfish and only care about themselves, the truth is apparent.direction of the waterfall, and said slowly, "The legends are true. The serpent god Nagga, who resides in the waterfall, possesses the most valuable first part of the three-part staff, and the ruby in...
