Chapter 248: Heaven and Earth Twin Generals (1)
With a stunned expression, I stared blankly at the transformed figure of the Golden-Crowned Death King, now bearing Cheongyu’s upper body.
And who wouldn’t be surprised? It was my first time seeing a snake with a human torso.
“This is insane! It’s not even Lamia...”
At first, the form of the Golden-Crowned Death King reminded me of a Lamia straight out of Greek or Roman mythology.
Sure, we’re in the Central Plains, but even a Kissing Bug from America showed up once—so that kind of thing isn’t exactly off-limits here.
At first glance, it didn’t feel like a native spiritual beast or venomous creature of the Central Plains, but more like an imported oddity or something that crossed the border.
But the more I looked at the Golden-Crowned Death King, the more it became clear—this appearance absolutely fit the profile of a legitimate spiritual and venomous beast from this world.
“I almost let myself think the wrong thing. If it’s one of the Four Kings, shouldn’t it look like that?”
Exactly. If it’s a king of the Central Plains, it should look like that.
After all, this world may resemble ancient China, but it’s a strange one where martial arts and strange beasts exist, and that’s completely normal here.
Geography and culture aren’t that different from the ancient Central Plains I once studied, and many legends and stories here are nearly identical.
That’s why this world also has myths of the Sovereign Five Emperors—and if there’s a king of serpents in the Central Plains, of course it would resemble Cheongyu’s current form.
