Snake, yes snake.
A black-tailed snake as thin as an arm wrapped tightly around my hand.
But this was just the beginning. After a few seconds, countless spotted black-tailed snakes suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They seemed to be going crazy and clung to my hands, feet, and even my neck. Tangled.
I couldn't breathe. I felt like I was breathing too much out and not taking in enough air. After a while, my eyes started to get dark.
No, it wasn’t the lack of oxygen that caused my vision to blur.
The whole space started to get dark at this moment.
Not long after, the entire space was shrouded in darkness.
And at this moment, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of me.
I gritted my teeth and tried to keep calm, and tried to see clearly what the huge black shadow that appeared in front of me was.
But the black figure seemed to be a ghost, and suddenly stopped moving when it was only three or four meters away from me.
Not long after, a hoarse and weird voice rang out, "We... finally met..."
The voice was erratic, left and right, as if coming from the mouth of the black figure on the opposite side, but the next second it seemed to be ringing in my own head.
I looked at the strange black figure in front of me, gritted my teeth and asked, "You...who are you? What do you want to do?"
The black figure didn't seem to hear my question, but continued to talk to himself: "Sixty years... a full sixty years... because of you... I have waited another sixty years. …”
I gritted my teeth and asked in surprise: "What? Why is it because of me? I don't even fucking know who you are? What is going on with all this? Who are you? Do you dare to stand up and let your grandpa Let me see clearly, are you a human or an animal?"
The black shadow suddenly paused when he heard what I said, and then after a while he suddenly chuckled a few times and said: "After so many years... your temper has not changed at all... it seems that you are not old. Quan can really make people..."
But what surprised me was that halfway through the black shadow's words, the whole space suddenly shook violently.
As the shaking of the space intensified, the black shadow began to fade a little bit. Not only that, but bursts of screams that chilled people's bones came from all directions.
The sound was extremely strange and terrifying, and it was undoubtedly made by the black shadow.
At this moment, it was as if his soul was being burned, and he kept making miserable screams.
And everyone who hears this sound will probably be like me, wishing to pierce their eardrums directly.
My hands and feet were tightly bound at this time. I could only grit my teeth and press my tongue hard against the upper teeth, trying not to be affected by the guy's screams.
Fortunately, the scalp-numbing cry only lasted for a few dozen seconds.
As a ray of light lit up in the dark space, the black shadow and his painful screams began to dissipate little by little.
There was no wind, but the black shadow and the darkness in the space were like dust, dissipating little by little in the air.
Although the light was weak, it was enough to dispel the darkness in the entire space, and the entire space began to lighten up little by little at this moment.
Light, dim light, lit up on both sides of the wall.
I was exhausted and leaned against the wall on the side of the stone steps. Sweat seemed to be free of charge, dripping down my cheeks and falling to the ground. Even my chest and collar became wet.
I gasped for air, and it took a while before I vaguely heard someone calling my name.
"Hu Tian... Hu Tian... how are you? Are you okay?"
I looked up, but sweat flowed into my eyes, making my vision blurry.
I raised my hand and wiped it with my sleeve, and it took me a while to see clearly that the person in front of me was Xiong Ming.
I smiled and said, "It's okay! Aren't you injured? Why is there nothing here again?"
Xiong Ming frowned and said, "I was injured, yes! But when I woke up, I saw your appearance. I said Hu Tian, you are not usually such a coward? What's wrong?"
I didn't answer Xiong Ming's question, but looked at his chest and asked, "Don't worry about me for now. How is your kid's wound?"
Xiong Ming was obviously stunned when he heard what I said. He patted his right chest and said, "Look! I'm fine! I'm a good person now, but you..."
I didn't let Xiong Ming continue, but wiped the sweat from my head, stood up straight with difficulty, looked at Xiong Ming and asked: "You kid, do you still remember why you came to me this time? "
When Xiong Ming heard my sudden question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he stammered a little: "I... I came to you because... because of the Fountain of Youth? What? Hu Tian, you kid Have you lost your memory?"
I smiled and rubbed my teeth a few times, and then said word by word: "Fountain of Youth! Fountain of Youth! Fountain of Youth, Fountain of Youth!"
Seeing my reaction, Xiong Ming couldn't help but ask: "I said Hu Tian, what do you mean?"
I lowered my head and did not look at Xiong Ming, but looked at my fist motionlessly. After a while, I said: "I don't know who you are, but I have a few words to ask you now. If you cooperate, you may suffer less, but if you don't, then I'm sorry..."
I said and shook my fist at the "Xiong Ming" in front of me, "This fist as big as a sandbag is about to hit you. I can't guarantee whether it will be too harsh."
"Xiong Ming" looked at me with a surprised expression and said, "Hu Tian, what do you mean by this? I..."
I smiled and sighed, moved my shoulders, and then said: "Okay, stop pretending! First, Xiong Ming injured the left side of his chest, not the right; second, the poison in that kid was extremely special, and it was impossible to He can wake up in such a short time; thirdly, when this kid came to me, he didn’t even know what the Fountain of Youth was..."
I didn't continue talking, but stared intently at "Xiong Ming" in front of me.
Sure enough, after being stunned for a long time, the "Xiong Ming" in front of him suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was very familiar, and it was clearly the shadow from before.
It seems that this guy has not left, and I am still in his illusion.
The "Xiong Ming" in front of him giggled strangely for a while, and suddenly, the whole space began to shake again.
As the entire space shook more and more violently, the original steps began to collapse little by little, the walls began to separate, and large chunks of the ground cracked.
Not long after, a place that looked like a tomb appeared in front of me.
At the same time, "Xiong Ming" who was originally standing in front of me suddenly transformed into a girl.
She was seen wearing a blood-red Changsha, and her exquisite curves looked particularly charming under the surrounding lights.
I couldn't see her face because there was a white ghost mask on her face.
And when I saw this evil ghost mask, I was stunned because the mask was exactly the same as the one Hua Muling and I had seen in the underground tomb of Biluo Village before.
The woman seemed very satisfied with my reaction at this moment. She smiled strangely and walked to the center of the tomb.
There was a blood-red coffin. The lid of the coffin had some astrolabe positions drawn on it, and several important star positions were inlaid with several gems.
I squinted and looked carefully for a while, but I couldn't tell what material the coffin was made of. But it can be seen that the coffin is very new, as if it was made not long ago.
The woman walked up to the coffin step by step and said in an extremely harsh voice: "Do you still remember this place?"
After hearing this, I looked around the tomb and found that this place was very strange. Except for some murals painted around the tomb, there was nothing. There was only one coffin in the huge main tomb chamber.
I looked for a while and didn't get an answer, so I shook my head.
The woman was obviously a little disappointed with my answer. She lightly scratched the coffin with her left little finger, and a layer of bright red liquid immediately stuck to her little finger.
The woman turned her back and took off her mask, sucking up the red liquid on her little finger as if she was tasting the most delicious thing in the world.
Then, she was intoxicated for a while, and then she slowly turned around and tilted her head to look at me, saying word by word: "I thought you would remember this place... But, you completely forgot about it... …”
I looked at the woman and asked, "Why should I remember this place? Have I been here?"
The woman said: "You have not only been here! To be more precise... this place... belongs to you..."
Hearing what the woman said, I couldn't help but buzz in my head. It felt like someone had hit me hard with a baseball bat.
After a while, I came back to my senses, looked at the woman in front of me and asked, "What are you talking about? This place originally belonged to me?"
The woman nodded, her voice floating in the air vaguely, and said: "Yes, this is your underground palace... Have you really forgotten? I thought you just forgot about me... I didn't expect ...You even forgot to come here..."
I looked at the woman in front of me and asked in surprise: "Can you explain yourself clearly? What is this place? Who are you? What is going on in this underground palace?"
The woman did not seem to hear my question, but whispered in despair: "It seems that the high priest did not lie to us back then. You should not drink the fountain of youth. It will not only take away your soul, but even your soul." Your memories were all taken away together..."
I looked at the woman and asked loudly: "What on earth are you talking about? If you are showing off like this, I will not be polite!"
As I said that, I took a step forward, raised my fists, and was about to rush towards the woman. But what I never expected was that just when I took a step, suddenly, the floor tiles under my feet suddenly melted. Almost in the blink of an eye, they turned into a puddle of crimson water.
