C14 Snake king

Ever since he entered the tomb, although he encountered all sorts of unexpected dangers, he had never seen the old Daoist so panicked.

Mister Leng naturally saw the old Daoist's panic and hastily asked, "What do you mean by that, Ninth Master?"

The old Daoist didn't stop and said, "Do you know how my senior from the sect died?"

Mr. Leng was shocked, "Could it be that we met with the Snake King's urgent orders?"

The old Daoist nodded and said, "Correct, this senior's cultivation experience far surpasses mine." At that time, he was also trying to find the whereabouts of this thing, and he met this Snake King in an ancient tomb in the Han Dynasty. Even if he tried his best, he could only escape with serious injuries. He didn't even see the tomb. Not even a single Yinyang Sect disciple was left with him. Even if I managed to return to the Yin Yang Sect, I would only be able to live for a few days.

When Mr. Leng heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat and hastily asked, "What do we do now?"

The old Daoist said, "Let's go forward. We can no longer retreat, so we can only go forward."

Lin Ziqiang exclaimed, "Isn't that the nest of the Man-Faced Snake in front of us? We're not walking into a trap? "

The old Daoist didn't even turn his head and said, "The nest of Man-Faced Snake isn't necessarily within the tomb. If we continue forward, perhaps there might be a glimmer of hope. Retreating means certain death!"

Everyone stopped talking and hurried forward. I couldn't help but wonder why only I was able to hear this laughter at the beginning. Didn't I end up being bewitched by the illusion with everyone else? The old Daoist said that my physique is special, but I always feel that there's something strange about it.

Just as I was thinking, a rustling sound came from behind me, like countless scales rubbing against the ground. When the old Daoist heard this sound, his expression changed and he exclaimed, "Not good! "They're catching up!"

At this moment, the passageway came to an end. A thick stone door blocked their path.

Mr. Leng hastily asked, "Ninth Master, what do we do now?"

The old Daoist hurriedly bit his finger and drew a talisman on the door, but it did not work this time. The door did not budge at all.

The sound behind him was getting closer and closer. The old Daoist Priest was also anxious to the point of sweating profusely!

Perhaps he had suppressed himself for too long after entering the tomb, Ah Da, who came in with Mr. Leng, shouted, "It won't be that easy for me to die here!"

After saying that, he kicked out like a stone door.

What was even more unexpected was that this kick actually caused a crack to appear on the tightly shut stone door.

Seeing this, Mr. Leng was overjoyed and quickly shouted: "Everyone push!"

With that, he pushed the door open.

The stone door was very heavy. Even if everyone worked together, they could only open a gap that could fit two people.

The sounds of pursuit behind us were getting louder and louder, as if they were already behind us.

The searchlight looked back, but the cave was empty. If I hadn't heard the sound, I would have suspected that we were hallucinating.

Mr. Leng walked out of the passage first. I thought that he was going to run away first, but who knew that he would turn around and pull the old Daoist out as well?

Everyone started to escape from the stone door. Ah San wanted to close the door, but at this moment, a blue light flashed and a small snake suddenly crawled out from the ground, pouncing towards Ah San's face.

Ah San was shocked and hurriedly dodged. The little snake didn't have enough time to turn around and instead pounced towards Xiao Xue who was behind him.

Xiao Xue was blocked by Ah San. When she saw it, it was already too late. This little snake's speed was surprisingly fast, it was already too late to dodge.

Seeing that Snowy was about to be buried by the snake's mouth, I didn't know why, but in a moment of desperation, I actually smacked the snake to the ground.

The little snake still wanted to continue its attack. Lin Ziqiang waved his blade and cut the little snake into two.

Seeing that even more snakes were about to emerge from the ground, everyone turned around and ran towards the depths of the tomb without waiting for the stone door to close.

At that moment, the sound from behind suddenly stopped. I turned my head to take a peek and sucked in a breath of cold air.

A crack appeared in the ground, and a blue Man-Faced Snake that was as thick as a bucket came out from the ground. The snake's face was the same as a normal face, no longer pink and tender. Even his pupils were the same as a normal person's!

This Man-Faced Snake King stared at me. From afar, the features of this snake resembled me by seventy to eighty percent!

I was scared out of my wits, my feet were empty, and a horse fell to the ground.

I was beaten black and blue. Just as I was about to get up and continue running, I felt a sharp pain from the wound on my arm. I felt like countless knives were messing with my arm and slowly digging my flesh out.

At the same time, a bone-piercing cold aura emerged from my arm and covered my entire body in an instant. I was so cold that I shivered.

This cold air was much stronger than the last few times. Before I could react, this cold air rushed into my heart. In that instant, my heart seemed to have stopped beating.

My head was in a daze as well, as though everything had left me. The world suddenly quieted down. For a moment, I couldn't even feel the pain on my arm anymore. My eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and I wanted to sleep from then on.

In a daze, I felt someone grab my arm and drag me forward. I don't know how far I walked, but I seemed to hear the old Daoist tell me to stop. The snakes behind me didn't seem to chase me.

The old Daoist waved his sleeve and the smoke dissipated in the middle of running. We did not re-enter the environment.

When the person holding me put me on the ground, I smelled a familiar fragrance. It was Xiao Xue.

After the last struggle, all the strength in my body had been completely drained. I couldn't even open my eyes. He was also confused, but he could still hear the sounds coming from outside.

Mr. Leng spoke up, "Ninth Master, it seems that those Man-Faced Snakes did not chase us."

The old Daoist said, "If I'm not wrong, it should be that bone filled burial ditch that stopped the snake horde." The old Daoist paused for a moment and then continued, "It must have been the tomb master that used a secret technique in this burial ditch. The snake horde used it as a boundary, so they didn't dare to pursue."

Mr. Leng let out a long sigh and said, "We should not die. It seems that we have a chance to escape this time!" There was joy in his voice.

The old Daoist laughed coldly and said, "Old Brother Leng, please don't be happy too early. Don't forget that the grave of the Southern Han Princess has yet to arrive!"

From the old Daoist priest's words, it seemed like they had arrived at the second tomb. And this tomb was exactly as the old Daoist thought; it was precisely the tomb of the Southern Han Princess!

Mr. Leng said, "Ninth Master is right, but it looks like this kid won't be able to survive this tomb!"

The old Daoist laughed coldly and said, "How could the methods of my Yin Yang Sect be so easy to falsify?"

I don't know what I did, but I felt a wave of heat seep through my chest and circulate around my body before dispersing into my limbs and bones. The feeling of weakness in his body had completely disappeared.

I opened my eyes and struggled to sit up.

Seeing me sit up, the old Daoist didn't reply and said to Boss Leng, "Alright, this Man-Faced Snake won't be coming over for the time being. Let's rest here for a while."

Everyone sat down on the ground, took out some rations from their backpacks, and started eating. Snowy handed me some compressed biscuits and a bottle of water. Let me fill the stomach first.

My head was still spinning and my whole body was in pain. I had no appetite.

After rejecting Snowy's good intentions, I carefully looked at our surroundings.

Our current location is not far from the burial ditch. The ditch is filled with white bones, and countless skulls with black eye sockets all seem to be looking at me. It makes one's hair stand on end.

Just now, I probably accidentally stepped into the burial ditch, which was why I was directly sent flying. The place where we rest now is a rectangular grave, belonging to the periphery of the tomb.

Compared to the previous one, the tomb of the princess was more normal. Behind the tomb was the entrance to the tomb, and the coffin of the princess should be inside. However, the surroundings of this grave were engraved with countless little snakes. Their heads were extended outwards, just like the road to life!

Snowy saw that I was looking carefully and asked, "What did you see?"

I shook my head. "I don't know anything about this. I don't see anything." Then he asked, "Why do you want me to go down with you?"

Xiao Xue opened her eyes and didn't want to look at me. "Your physique is special. There are some things that only you can take out."

I felt that there was something Xiao Xue was hiding from me, and asked, "What is so special about it? Is this unique physique related to my father turning into a Yin Corpse?"

Xiao Xue lowered her head and said, "Your father was only a Yin Corpse after he was poisoned, he was different from you." Then he paused and continued, "I don't know what's with your physique. You don't need to ask. "

I was forced to go down the grave for no reason and was still hiding something from me even here. The anger in my heart couldn't be suppressed any longer and I couldn't help but shout at her, "What are you hiding from me? I almost died here with you guys, and now you don't even know if you can get out, you're still lying to me! "

Before waiting for Snowy to reply, the old Daoist said, "Little brat, don't not know what's good for you. You were poisoned by corpse poison, and we saved you, but not only did you not know how to repay kindness, you even shouted here. This is unreasonable!"

I was discouraged by the old Daoist Priest's words. No matter what, it was a fact that this old Daoist Priest saved my life.

I sat down, crestfallen, and couldn't help but feel powerless.

I was also forced to go down the grave by these people, and now that I couldn't even protect myself, I suddenly thought of Uncle Lin. I rushed back home, and I didn't even go to see him once, because if Uncle Lin knew that I had died here, I didn't know how sad he would be.

Thinking of this, he could not help but almost cry.

Just when I was secretly feeling sad, I heard the old Daoist say, "I've pretty much rested. Let's pack up and prepare to enter the tomb. "
