Chapter 68: The Giant Snake
Chengxin’s eyes flashed with excitement. Obviously, as a member of the medical lineage, he had a fighting spirit like my silly tiger, which could do a lot of things that he could never imagine, not to mention other brothers and sisters. This gave us too much leverage for the rivers, lakes, and seas we were going to visit next, and for the journey to find Penglai!
What else is there to say? Chengxin brother showed a bandit-like expression. Under his glasses, his eyes narrowed and he said in a fierce tone, “I’m going to get these demon spirits. If anyone dares to fight me for them, I’ll…”
I looked at Chengxin Ge strangely and said, “What do you want?”
“Hmph, I’ll poison them to death!” When he said this, a flash of light appeared under Cheng Xin’s glasses, and I was suddenly covered in goosebumps. The little fox, which was devouring the last piece of energy, suddenly tensed up and glanced at Cheng Xin with innocent and frightened eyes.
This was of course just a small episode. My and Cheng Xin Ge’s enthusiasm for the soul of the great demon made everyone baffled, including Ru Xue, who also couldn’t understand it with her head tilted. However, we didn’t say anything, and they didn’t ask any more questions. They just followed me into the tomb of the great demon.
Xiao Chengqian I can guarantee that if he gives up on this tomb of the great demon, he will definitely not come back for trouble. Most likely, he will go to the next tomb of the great demon and help the next tomb of the great demon to rob the tomb of the great demon. But I can’t guarantee anything about He Long. We must hurry.
This cave is as big as the last one, and you can only crawl in. I was still crawling at the front, but unlike the last cave, this deep cave was only wide enough for one person to crawl in at first, but gradually became wider and wider until finally it was wide enough for several people to pass through.
This is much better than the last hole. It is full of strange pits everywhere. I don’t know what the young fox experienced in his life that caused such a strange scene. Unfortunately, the young fox has lost his memory and can’t satisfy my curiosity.
Chengyi, have you noticed that this cave is just like the last one, full of inexplicable darkness? Look, the flashlight can’t shine anymore. It’s Zhang who’s talking. Since the battle, Zhang has been a little constrained when talking to us. I don’t like this feeling at all, but I can feel that Zhang no longer considers us as people of the same world.
“Well, I found it,” I replied to Lao Zhang, trying to sound calm, but I was already wondering in my heart. Could it be that so many demons were killed by the same method? All died under the worm?
What happened behind this?
But it’s useless to speculate. We can only keep going. Although the flashlight light can’t penetrate the darkness, it can still give us a rough idea of the surrounding scenery. I can see that this is a cave. Touching the uneven edge, it feels like something has been carved out.
In this way, we walked upward in the dark for more than 100 meters. According to this estimate, we were already in the belly of a mountain.
I asked Wu Laogui to scout ahead, but unfortunately he didn’t find any wall lamps to illuminate the mountain. So we walked another 20 meters, when suddenly Wu Laogui’s excited voice came from ahead: “Something’s up! Something’s up! Come quickly!”
I quickly ran a few steps, but then I heard Wu Laogui say, “Don’t be afraid if you see it!”
What could I possibly be afraid of? If you, Wu Laogui, aren’t afraid, then why should I be? Thinking this way, I ran to the front, but I saw Wu Laogui coming towards me. He said excitedly, “This is really something. It’s like someone is helping us. Up ahead, there’s a light on top of that thing.”
There are lights here too? Lights that specifically penetrate the darkness? I didn’t think about it much, but Wu Laogui’s words, as if someone was helping us, suddenly woke me up. Could these lights also be related to the whole incident?
But before I could think much more, Chengxin, who was walking next to me, had already reached out his hand, which held a lighter. He said to Wu Laogui, almost panting, “Hurry up, go light that lamp. I want the soul of the great demon!
I was sweating. Had Brother Chengxin gone mad? But I could understand his feelings. For a long time, the only one in the Old Li clan who could fight was me. If I had the soul of the great demon, perhaps in Brother Chengxin’s eyes, I wouldn’t have to be so tired. In fact, in a very private conversation, I talked to Brother Chengxin, and from his words, I could vaguely feel his meaning, as well as the meaning of several senior brothers and sisters.
They all felt that the burden on me was too heavy, and that the other branches could not help much.
Of course, he didn’t say it explicitly, and I couldn’t say anything to comfort him, but I could understand his feelings.
Facing Chengxin’s “order,” Wu Laogui originally wanted to argue with him as usual, but at this time, when he heard Chengxin’s “puffing” sound, Wu Laogui dared not argue and took the lighter and went.
The fire finally lit up in the cave. We quickly followed the light to the place where Wu Laogui said there was something, and then we were really scared, just as Wu Laogui had feared!
In the end, it was Lao Zhang who spoke first. After all, he had seen the animals in this forest before, and his voice was trembling as he said, “In the past, I really, I really would never have believed that there was such a big, big viper!”
Yes, what was in front of us was a snake corpse. Because it was lying there, I had no idea how long it was. The only thing I could clearly describe was the head of the snake corpse, which was as big as half of my body.
If it was just this snake that was big, it wouldn’t have been enough to surprise me. At that time, there was a movie called Anaconda, which was about giant snakes. The anaconda in it was also huge, but Lao Zhang actually said it was a poisonous snake.
Could a poisonous snake be that big? Could it? In my common sense, poisonous snakes are generally not big!
This is completely contrary to my common sense, but what common sense do I have? Even the common sense of Zhang, who has been in the forest for many years, has been overturned.
Looking at the corpse of the viper, I only had one feeling, which was fear. Its corpse was as lifelike as that of a young fox, but the corpse of a young fox gave people the feeling of being overbearing and carrying a strange spiritual aura. This giant snake was purely terrifying.
“This place is… big.” Ruoxue spoke behind us. During the battle, Ruoxue had always stood by our side without fighting. Yes, Ruoxue, whose life essence had been replaced, should have no combat effectiveness. At least, that’s what I thought.
However, I was also bored because the ‘normal’ Ru Xue had returned, and she had become cold and indifferent again, and she said very little.
She suddenly said that it was very big here, so I couldn’t help but take a closer look, and only then did I discover that the giant snake’s dwelling was far too simple compared to the “gorgeous dwelling” of the young fox.
It was just a big cave in the mountain, and the cave was filled with a rotten smell. I looked for the source of the smell, and it turned out to be from a pile of animal bones in the corner. It was not difficult to guess that this was the food of the giant snake in the past. It was a guy who didn’t care much about hygiene, and he ate and slept in the same place!
However, looking at those bones, it was okay to take a quick glance, but when you looked more closely, you were shocked. They were all the bones of large animals, and some of them had unusual colors. When you looked closer, there was a faint trace of undissipated spiritual power on them鈥攖he bones of a demon!
This guy was a ‘giant evil’ in his lifetime! If such a guy has a remnant soul, to whom should he give it? Will he be affected?
I was thinking about this when Ruoxue had already walked ahead and said to me, “The situation is the same as with the young fox. Its corpse is full of worms. Let me handle it. If my memory is correct, its remnant soul should be hidden in one of its ‘deformed’ fangs.”
In the “deformed” fangs, this… How did Ruoxue know this? Is her memory inheritance that strange?
But Ru Xue was already very calm. It was Wu Laogui who was not calm. He shouted, “Chengyi, there are writings! There are writings!”
Handwriting? I didn’t think much of it at first. Could it be the kind of simple drawings found in the cave of the young fox? But I didn’t expect that row of handwriting…
