The Witch Hunter System

Chapter 945: Irresistible Temptation



Swoosh!

An invisible pressure immediately weighed down on the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent. However, it remained firm and inviolable to Astoria's bloodline suppression.

On the other hand, Emperor Carpus was suddenly forced onto his knees. He felt like the blood in his body had suddenly become as heavy as a ten-thousand-kilogram block of iron.

The situation immediately shocked him.

It only took a moment before he realized what was going on. However, the realization shocked him even greater. He couldn't believe someone from one of the five ancient families had actually awakened the Golden Dragon Bloodline!

Emperor Carpus immediately felt complicated.

"Oh? There is still a descendant of the Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe capable of awakening the Golden Dragon Bloodline in this day and age?" the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent expressed its surprise yet nonchalantly before smirking, "Unfortunately, it's too diluted to affect me."

Astoria witnessed the ineffectiveness of her bloodline suppression and understood its limitations. Awakening her bloodline did not necessarily grant her absolute power over descendants of the same bloodline.

Bloodline purity also mattered.

Descendants with lesser bloodline purity would never be able to suppress a direct descendant of the Golden Dragon Pangea.

Although the Gold-horn Mutant Serpent was not the direct descendent of Golden Dragon Pangea, it had somehow obtained her golden blood and acquired the Golden Dragon Bloodline.

As such, Astoria's bloodline suppression couldn't work on it.

Nevertheless, shortly after Astoria revealed her awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline, the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent began to express its greed.

If it could devour all of her blood, it would have a better chance at a higher awakening of its Golden Dragon Bloodline and gain even greater strength.

The Gold-horned Mutant Serpent had already undergone body metamorphosis once after absorbing some of Golden Dragon Pangea's blood essence.

Thus, if the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent could undergo a second body metamorphosis, it might be able to free itself from the inferior Sea Serpent Bloodline once and for all and evolve into a true Golden Dragon.

When Astoria met the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent's gaze, she had a bad feeling. She could feel its growing desire and greed.

"Lady Astoria, please escape. The situation is not looking good. I will cover your retreat," Kemun said seriously.

However, Astoria felt unsatisfied if she were to escape just like that.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Whether it was Astoria or Kemun, they both felt that the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent's background was not simple. Not only did it have such a pure Golden Dragon Bloodline, but it also knew about the Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe.

Considering the convenant of the five ancient families, Astoria didn't want to believe the Evermore family would sell the secret of the Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe to a sea monster

race.

However, she couldn't understand how else the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent knew about the Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe.

Did the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent's clan have a history as old as the Blessed Golden Dragon Tribe? Or did its clan stumble upon an unrecorded inheritance of Golden Dragon Pangea?

Considering the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent's pure Golden Dragon Bloodline, Astoria felt the latter was more probable.

"Do you think she can escape in my presence, Dragon? The only place she is going is into my stomach!" the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent grinned.

However, not even a few breaths later, its face fell.

Rumble...!

The mountains and ground suddenly started trembling.

At the same time, large shadows could be seen moving swiftly through the thick fog beneath the snowy mountains.

The situation was similar to when the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent arrived. However, there were far more movements than before. Evidently, there was more than one large body approaching the mountain peak.

The Gold-horned Mutant Serpent wasn't the only one of its kind and definitely wasn't the only one at the Demigod level.

"Dammit!"

The Gold-horned Mutant Serpent knew what was coming. The other mutant serpents in his clan must have been attracted to the awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline.

If it waited for them to arrive, they would definitely fight over it.

The Gold-horned Mutant Serpent couldn't allow that to happen. As such, it immediately glared at Astoria with bloodshot eyes.

"Human, become my meal!" the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent roared.

The Gold-horned Mutant Serpent sprung at Astoria like a powerful spring with enough force to pulverize her body in an instant.

However, Kemun had long been prepared to receive the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent's attack. The Gold-horned Mutant Serpent was too powerful for him to meet head-on. Thus, he was ready to redirect it with spatial magic.

Unexpectedly, everyone had underestimated how crazy the serpent clan was.

Before Kemun could act, three solar beams zoomed in on his location. However, they weren't aimed at him, but at the spot the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent was about to reach.

He had thrown himself in front of the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent's path to stop it.

"You desperate bastards! You have all gone mad!" the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent roared furiously.

It had no choice but to forcefully cancel its spring dive at the cost of straining its own body in

the process. It simply couldn't take the three solar beams.

Those three solar beams had enough power to cause serious harm to its body.

After all, concentrated solar power could damage its genes in various ways, making recovery very difficult. The damage might even impact its potential for future evolutions.

Swoosh!

The enormous bodies of three new Gold-horned Mutant Serpents surged out of the thick fog. They rushed at the first Gold-horned Mutant Serpent with maddened gazes.

In order to obtain the awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline, they had to take out their

strongest competitor.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three newcomers quickly ganged on the first Gold-horned Mutant Serpent. They did not hesitate to sink their fangs into its body and tear out its flesh bit by bit.

Blood gushed out of its open wounds like waves as the injured Gold-horned Mutant Serpent

hissed painfully.

"You bunch of bastards-!! Are you seriously trying to kill your kind over some awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline?!" the Gold-horned Mutant Serpent cried furiously.

"Forget about us, anyone serpent in the clan will kill for the chance at higher awakening. This

is the awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline we are talking about, Soska! Who wouldn't take the

risk?!"

The three Gold-horned Mutant Serpent tried to justify their wicked act.

Meanwhile, Kemun and Astoria had long retreated in shock. Neither of them could have

imagined the situation would turn out this way. The mutant serpents would actually turn on

each other instead of uniting their strengths.

The irresistible temptation of Astoria's awakened Golden Dragon Bloodline was far beyond

their expectations.

It could actually drive the mutant serpents mad! Furthermore, they were also greatly shocked by the deep heritage of this mutant serpent clan. Even three new arrivals were all Demigod-level Gold-horned Mutant Serpents with pure Golden Dragon Bloodlines.

Just how many more of them were like this? How many more were still on the way?
