Shen Hong walked in front while Xu Dazhi followed behind with the green-eyed dwarf on his back. Since the cave was too short, they walked very slowly. From time to time, they would turn their heads to listen to the sounds.

The hole grew smaller and smaller. There was a stone cave where one had to squat to get there. At this speed, the three-star iron-headed black snake would catch up to them very soon.

After about two or three hundred meters, the cave became long and thin again. After suffering so much, he first carried the green-eyed dwarf to the front before squeezing it in bit by bit. His body was too fat, and the stone on his chest and back was hurting. But at this moment, a rustling sound came from behind them. It was the sound of snakes crawling, and it was too familiar. Ever since they entered the cave, this sound had been like that of demons accompanying them. If they were caught by the horde of snakes, they wouldn't be able to use their swords in this environment. And for those black snakes, this was simply the best place for them to attack.

The more he moved, the slower his progress became. The Shrimp, who was walking at the back, was even more anxious. If the snakes caught up to him, his first target would be him. The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He loudly urged on Xu Dazhi.

Shen Hong told everyone not to worry, but she was more anxious than anyone else. She regretted leading them into this small cavern. At that time, she had instinctively felt that this cavern was the only path that led to the Mars palace, leaving behind a dangerous situation.

It seemed that her judgement had been wrong in some way. She felt that she had been too arbitrary, and that she was going to end the lives of her brothers.

"Chief, leave Green Eye here. Bringing him along is a burden." The shrimps said anxiously from the back.

"What did you say?" Shen Hong didn't seem to hear clearly. She didn't believe that these words would come from her subordinates.

"I mean, he'll kill us all." The shrimp said timidly. He heard Shen Hong's tone, mixed with surprise, indifference, and anger.

Of course he knew Shen Hong's temper. He thought that he had said the wrong thing.

Shen Hong no longer said anything and continued moving forward bit by bit. In this sort of situation, she didn't want to pursue the matter any further. Xu Dazhi did not say anything. Although he was holding onto the Green Eyed Dwarf in his hand, he did not complain at all. In comparison, the shrimp looked too despicable.

The rustling sound was very close to where they were. A strong stench was coming from the cave.

The Shrimp turned its head in horror. It saw countless flickering red dots, and its heart was trembling uncontrollably. This time was different. In the past, when he fought with everyone, there were some people who could protect him. This time, he was the only one left. With his abilities, he was completely unable to fight against the group of snakes.

A few black snakes scurried over, spitting out bright red tongues that revealed their venomous fangs. Because the cavern was small, his blade would occasionally touch the rock walls on the side, causing sparks to fly out. However, his fast blade still managed to slash a few snakes into pieces.

Even more black snakes rushed up from behind and stuffed the entire cave into its mouth. It was like a monster with countless snake heads. Some snake heads were big and some were small. All of them opened their mouths, releasing a fishy stench.

The shrimps continuously brandished their knives. Who knew how many snake heads they chopped off, but there were just too many of them. He was simply unable to slash them down. After chopping off one, another grew. The people behind saw the Shrimp fight alone with the group of snakes, but they were powerless. Two thick black snakes dragged the legs of the shrimp. The snake's strength was extremely great, so it was able to pull the shrimp horizontally in one fell swoop. The other black snakes charged forward, tearing and biting wildly.

The shrimp howled, "Save me, save me!"

Shen Hong was at the front. If she wanted to throw out the crescent moon blade then she would be unable to do so. Even if she could do so, she would not only be unable to kill the snake, but would also injure her own people. The body of Xu Dazhi was caught between the rocks, he could not lift the hammer at all.

Shen Hong asked Wei Ding, "Are there any more flammable oil and sulphur powder?"

"I just ran out in the cave."

The shriek of the shrimp pierced everyone's eardrums like a needle. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but this cry of his caused the green-eyed dwarf to wake up from his coma.

The green-eyed dwarf opened his eyes and saw Xu Dazhi standing beside him. He asked, "Where is this place?"

"You're awake? You finally woke up. "Thank God." Seeing the green-eyed dwarf lying on the ground, Xu Dazhi was filled with both joy and grief.

The Green Eyed Dwarf stood up, and saw from the gaps between the teeth of the snakes that the shrimps were being bitten by. He ordered Xu Dazhi to bend down, and with a loud roar, he jumped over with a flick of his hand, the treasured golden sword in his hand stabbed and slashed continuously, instantly cutting off dozens of heads, and forcibly snatched the shrimps from the mouths of the snakes.

He handed the shrimp to Xu Dazhu and shouted, "Big Hammer Brother, Miss Shen, quickly leave. I'll support it for a while."

Seeing the situation, Shen Hong felt that there was no point in staying here together. Rather than waiting to die together, it would be better to escape and make other plans. She was naturally aware of the green-eyed dwarf's abilities. It wouldn't be a problem for him to deal with those snakes. However, his physical strength had yet to recover, so he might just barely be able to deal with them. But in such a cave, only he could display his true body. Thinking of this, Shen Hong loudly said, "Green Eyed Dwarf, you have to be more careful. Don't let the black snake bite you." She led her subordinates and continued to walk forward. Most of the time, they would only walk sideways, and their speed was extremely slow.

They walked to a slightly wider area and Shen Hong took out the antidote. He let one of the shrimp eat one and then treated the wounds on his body. The clothes of the prawn was torn to shreds by the snakes. Its body was covered with bite marks, and its skin was dark purple in color. Shen Hong felt his pulse. Luckily, the venom had not assaulted his heart. The physique of the Shrimp was inferior to that of the green-eyed dwarf, and it had been poisoned by so much venom. Whether it could survive this ordeal would depend on his luck. The Green Eyed Dwarf at the back continuously yelled. It seemed like he was able to kill for the time being. With him holding it back, there wouldn't be any accidents for the time being.

Shen Hong led the group and continued onward. After walking around 200 meters, the cave suddenly enlarged and they arrived at a semicircular shaped cave. This cave was not big, and it could accommodate dozens of people.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Xu Dazhi sat down on the ground, panting from exhaustion. Wei Ding laid down the shrimp on the ground. Seeing that the shrimp was quiet, he hurriedly called out to Shen Hong, "Chief, what do you think about the shrimp? It looks like it's gone."

Shen Hong came over and grabbed the shrimp's wrist. Her pulse was still beating, but it was still extremely weak. She then rolled up the eyelids of the shrimp. The whites of her eyes were heavily bloodshot.

She frowned as she thought to herself. This shrimp's venom had already attacked her heart, and although she had controlled part of its effects, there was too much venom. It was hard to say if he would be able to survive. Seeing Shen Hong's serious expression, Wei and Xu knew that the situation was not good, so they surrounded the shrimp.
