Xiaolan's brain stopped for a second.
She swallowed.
There was a dense friction sound all around.
Snakes, snakes everywhere.
They are moving, spitting out cores.
They are observing Xiaolan.
Xiaolan thought for a while and didn't stand up. Instead, she sat there and rubbed her eyes.
You can vaguely see the shadow of a snake dormant in the darkness.
There were countless of them, and as far as the eye could see, they were all occupied by erect snake bodies, surrounding a place one meter away from him.
Xiaolan herself was sitting on a piece of yellow-black snake slough, and her hands were covered with the yellow mucus on the snake slough.
There is no way to fight back.
One snake stood up high, as if giving a command, and hissed fiercely. The other snakes immediately stood up and approached Xiaolan.
A snake swooped out from the group of snakes, fangs opened, and the stench in its mouth almost made Xiaolan faint. Xiaolan suddenly dodged and struck with his palm, and the cold snake body was knocked away by Xiaolan. .
Two other snakes pounced from behind Xiaolan, and Xiaolan ducked past. At the same time, a small snake on the right bit her forearm fiercely.
Xiaolan groaned and hit the snake's seven inches with his left hand.
The little snake let go, and its teeth left two holes in Xiaolan's hand.
Xiaolan gritted her teeth and looked at her wound.
This is not the way to go.
There are just too many snakes.
Do we just have to wait to die?
If they all pounce together...
Just when I thought of this, the tall snake let out a louder "hiss".
All the snakes opened their mouths and rushed towards Xiaolan.
Xiaolan was immediately knocked down by the surging snake. After being bitten on the side of his waist, Xiaolan remembered to curl up and desperately protect his abdomen. While enduring the pain from everywhere in his body, he removed the bite on his body. The snake shook off.
pain.
It hurts.
But it doesn't matter, the game... should be over soon.
Tears oozed from the corners of Xiaolan's eyes.
A snake suddenly bit Xiaolan's shoulder, and blood gurgled out from her neck. The hot blood flowed down her neck and onto Xiaolan's chest. She felt her heart warm in response.
Could it be that...the heart was also bitten?
Why don't you give up and let go of your vitals? You can die faster and with less pain.
But... after all...
The chest continued to feel hot, and unlike other bites, the heat seemed to be something else.
Between the dense green snake eyes, Xiaolan saw a flash of red light.
The red light became brighter and brighter.
The group of snakes seemed to be a little scared. Many snakes stepped aside and watched, and only a few were still attacking.
In the distance, something seemed to sound.
Like...singing?
The remaining snakes also stopped attacking. Xiaolan coughed and spurted a large mouthful of blood from her throat. She shivered and stood up, and like the snakes, she looked in the direction of the singing.
His vision was a little blurry, everything in front of him was red, and his eyes must have been soaked in blood at the moment.
Something hot in my chest vibrated.
Xiaolan lowered his head and slowly took it out.
It's a ruby.
Ah, it was the ruby Lu Qianqian picked up on the river bank. When did it come to him?
The song is approaching.
Xiaolan looked up.
So familiar, so familiar singing voice.
A white shadow flew from a distance.
I remembered!
The shadow fell next to Xiaolan, squatted down, and looked at her quietly.
"Lang...Lang Yuerong..."
The white shadow reached out and brushed Xiaolan's face.
"Do you know my sister?" Bai Ying asked when the singing stopped.
younger sister?
The white figure in front of me who looks exactly like Lang Yuerong is Long Yuerong's sister?
That song was exactly what Lang Yuerong sang when she bid farewell to herself.
"sister……"
Bai Ying smiled sweetly and gently held Xiaolan's hand, "Forget it, I'll take you away first."
Just when the snakes were waiting for an opportunity to attack, Bai Ying picked up Xiaolan, soared into the air, and flew towards the dark cave wall. Several snakes reluctantly jumped up high and bit Bai Ying, but their mouths passed through the half of the cave. The transparent shadow fell back to the ground in vain.
Xiaolan stared at Bai Ying's smiling face, and the pain all over her body swept over her instantly. She felt her limbs twitch violently, and then she fainted.
***
The red-eyed snake knew of their existence.
It threw a pair of human eyes over.
It treats them as playthings.
Sand...sand...sand...
The snake came closer.
Outside the wall, a burst of girlish laughter suddenly sounded.
"help."
The thin, weak voice came up again, with a strange accent, and even seemed to be suppressing a laugh.
The three of them held each other's hands tightly, their faces ashen.
Another pair of eyeballs rolled over.
"You...won't you save me?"
The snake's voice changed and turned into another girl's voice, with a strange crying tone.
Lu Qianqian gritted her teeth and slammed her right hand on the wall, pretending to stand up, "I can't stand it anymore!"
"Shh-" Jasmine strangled Lu Qianqian's wrist and stared at the two of them with bloodshot eyes, "Wait a minute."
"What are you waiting for..."
"Wait a minute!" Jasmine growled, pushing Lu Qianqian and Meili back to the wall somewhat roughly.
Jasmine leaned against the wall again, cold sweat dripping down her chin. She adjusted her breathing and listened carefully.
I am the head of Jiutan.
My nine explorations are not just about potential.
I will fight.
Jasmine closed her eyes and recalled the elders' teachings.
Why is Tanshi called Tanshi?
Exploring potential is the spiritual tide outside the body.
Is the only role of the body to operate and detect potential?
no.
Sight, smell, taste, and hearing are all Jiu Tan's weapons.
Exploration is about finding flaws.
The key to detecting potential does not lie in the spiritual tide outside the body at all.
But in the body.
Jasmine suddenly opened her eyes, touched the ground with both hands, and rolled away from the wall.
There are flaws in the voice.
"Jasmine!" Lu Qianqian and Meili hurriedly chased after her.
Jasmine half-crouched right above her eyeballs, waved her palm, and several stones flew away.
Lu Qianqian and Meili raised their weapons and stood on both sides of Jasmine.
The red-eyed snake was indeed huge. A pair of blood-red snake eyes stood half a meter higher than them. Its lower body was coiled in several circles. Seeing the three people suddenly running out, a trace of surprise flashed in the snake's eyes, and then it grinned back. Sorry, as if he was laughing.
A few small stones hit the snake. It just looked down and then waved its tail to sweep away the fallen stones.
Jasmine took half a step back and raised her hand again.
A few more pebbles.
This time, the red-eyed snake flicked its tail impatiently and knocked the pebbles away.
"Jasmine, are you..."
As soon as Meili opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Lu Qianqian's gesture, "Quiet, she's exploring."
A few more pebbles.
The red-eyed snake began to vomit its core and slowly approached them.
Jasmine squatted down, picked up four eyes, took aim, exerted her strength, and threw the four eyeballs firmly into the mouth of the red-eyed snake.
