After just a few seconds, the hook snake's tail began to tilt backward slightly, as it was accumulating strength. Snakes will curl up to accumulate strength before preying. Once they strike, they will be as fast as thunder and kill in one blow.
Now is the only time I can escape unscathed. When the hook snake launches its offensive, I may be too late if I try to dodge.
My hands hanging by my side clenched into fists unconsciously, and the muscles in my legs tightened instantly. I didn’t even know if I was accumulating strength to dodge the opponent’s attack, or if I wanted to look fearless. Don’t be afraid in the face of danger.
The Corpse King standing behind me sneered at this moment.
My heart suddenly sank—has my plan been seen through by the Corpse King
The Corpse King and Hook Snake have been facing each other in this secret room for countless years. They know each other's habits very well. Did it see that I was bluffing
As thoughts kept racing in my mind, the poisonous hook of the hook snake slowly fell down, and the snake's head that was originally pressed against the cell door also sank into the cell.
I snorted coldly and said to Li Binning: "Let's go!"
I turned around and walked back to Luo Qianqian's room without looking at the Corpse King. At this time, although Luo Qianqian was still sitting in front of the table, her face was as pale as paper and her body was trembling slightly. She didn't say until she saw me coming in: "Wang Huan, you... you..."
I didn't wait for her to finish asking and said, "We'll talk about it later. I have to let Hook Snake think about it carefully."
Li Binning whispered: "Wang Huan, can you really talk to Hook Snake?"
"With the shaman mask, I can communicate with it briefly. However, it doesn't seem to believe me." As I spoke, I dipped my hand in mineral water and wrote on the table: I'm cheating. .
Li Binning turned around and glanced in the direction of the Corpse King, and wrote: Are you sure
I shook my head, but said: "It's somewhat certain, but it depends on what Hook Snake thinks. I'll go there again in a while."
I sat in the room for more than ten minutes, and when I stood up again, Li Binning quickly wrote on the table: Don't go, it's too dangerous.
I also know the dangers. The hook snake didn't take action last time for some unknown reason, and I can't guarantee that it will tolerate my "provocation" again and again, but I can't help but gamble.
When I was about to leave, Luo Qianqian suddenly said: "Wang Huan, wait a minute. You ask it this time if it is willing to cooperate with you if you can find the Candle Dragon Fruit for it."
I couldn't help but ask: "What is the Candle Dragon Fruit?"
Luo Qianqian said: "Before I was brought in by An Ran, I once vaguely heard from him that there was a Candle Dragon Fruit hidden in the Snake King Palace of the Five Poison Sect, which can help snakes quickly condense their inner alchemy. Ask Hook Snake if he wants it. "
When I frowned and looked at Luo Qianqian, she imitated me and wrote: I'm talking nonsense.
I asked deliberately: "Are you sure that there must be a Candle Dragon Fruit in the Snake King's Palace? Don't wait until then, we get rid of the Hook Snake and we can't find anything again."
"There must be!" Luo Qianqian said, "Anran thought I was completely unconscious and didn't talk behind my back. He said that each of the Five Poison Palaces has a treasure that can hold the palace, and the one in the Snake King Palace is the Candle Dragon Fruit, and that thing moved If you don’t leave, you can only keep it in the Snake King Palace. It must still be there now.”
"Okay! Let me give it a try." I strode toward the hook snakes. The Corpse King, who had been paying attention to our movements, finally panicked. Before I could reach the center of the secret room, he grabbed the iron bars of the cell door and roared outside. , winked at me desperately.
But I didn't even look at it, and walked straight in the direction of the hook snake. Seeing that I was still refusing to pay attention to it, the Corpse King couldn't help but let out an angry roar. The Hook Snake opposite it suddenly raised its head and confronted it.
If I get in between the two of them at this time, it will definitely anger the hook snake, but if I don't move, it won't be enough to win the trust of the Corpse King.
I only stood for a few seconds, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on my palms.
Some people say that when people are forced to be anxious, their minds will move faster. I suddenly remembered someone who had told me that snakes are afraid of irritating things. Alcohol, realgar, and tobacco can repel snakes, as can burning sulfur.
I carry realgar and tobacco with me, but I dare not use either. Using realgar is too obvious, hook snakes can smell it, and so can the corpse king; tobacco is not very effective.
However, at this point, I can only take a gamble. I lit a cigarette and held it in my mouth and slowly walked forward. As I walked, I opened the Magnum bullet and poured the contents onto my knife. When I walked to the middle of the two cells, He immediately spit the cigarette butt in his mouth onto the knife. After the bright fire burst out from my blade, the smell of sulfur instantly filled most of the secret room, and the originally furious Hook Snake immediately retreated into the cell.
I sneered at the Corpse King and put on the golden mask again. This time, the Corpse King really couldn't hold himself any longer. He stuck his hands out of the window and bowed to me repeatedly, sobbing continuously.
This time, it really came to a head.
I took off my mask and walked towards the Corpse King: "This is the last time I ask you, do you want to cooperate or wait to die?"
The Corpse King could only nod his head, and I pointed to the outside of the secret room: "What about the bloody-eyed corpse boys outside?"
The Corpse King hesitated for a while before reaching out and making a "kill" gesture under his neck.
After I nodded with satisfaction, my face suddenly darkened: "One of my men died because of you, how will the account be settled?"
The Corpse King thought for a long time before he spread his hands helplessly, probably because he didn't know what to do.
I said coldly: "Are you still not honest? Before we talked about cooperation, I didn't have to worry about you killing my men. When the two armies faced each other, I also killed many corpse boys, so we were even. But..."
My voice suddenly rose: "But because you were dishonest, one of my men died in vain. Of course I want to kill Hook Snake to avenge him, but you also have to pay a price."
The Corpse King clasped his fists with a grimace and pointed at himself, probably meaning: What do you want? As long as I have it.
I stared at him closely and said, "I want your blood."
The Corpse King was relieved and nodded to me. I think, in its view, my blood has been drawn frequently before, and having my blood drawn a few times now is nothing.
This corpse king has a very high IQ, and his temperament is somewhat similar to that of a monkey. The more lenient I am to him, the less he will believe me; the more severe I am, the less he will feel reassured.
I took two mineral water bottles from Luo Qianqian and threw them to the Corpse King, who quickly bit his wrist and poured blood into the bottles. Before the two bottles were completely filled, the Corpse King showed a visibly depressed look and kept begging me for mercy with his eyes.
"Okay." I said coldly, "Give me the blood. It's time for you to do the next thing."
The Corpse King turned around and roared loudly toward the outside of the secret room. The corpses outside then let out bursts of roars, and the screams like a group of ghosts roaring into the sky one after another in the vast night, making people shudder.
I simply walked out of the secret room and stood on the altar again. Just a moment after I walked out of the secret room, the blood-eyed corpse boys outside had already formed a formation like a military force. More than a dozen bloody corpses as tall as apes emerged from the ground one after another and stood side by side in front of the corpse formation.
When we were chased by the blood-eyed corpse boys just now, they didn't use their full strength. Otherwise, we would have been torn into pieces by them long ago.
The zombies formed a formation, but the Corpse King continued to roar. Following the roar of the Corpse King, a wave-like tide of snakes also surged deep in the bathhouse. The waves formed by the gathering of countless black snakes soon swarmed under the altar, and the corpse boys arrayed in a posture as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
A moment later, the Corpse King suddenly let out a long roar, and the Corpse Boys, who had been unable to assemble, jumped up one after another as they roared in unison, pounced on the snake tide, grabbed the black snake and tore at it crazily. In just a few moments, the blood of the black snake dyed the earth red. From my perspective, there were torn snakes everywhere. Although the severed snake heads were still dancing ferociously, they were no longer able to withstand the corpse child.
I noticed something from the beginning of the fight between the two sides. Although the snakes coming from a distance were numerous, they seemed to have come specifically to die. Their venomous fangs cannot bite through the fur covering the body of the corpse boy. Some venomous snakes even seemed to have encountered natural enemies when the corpse boy jumped to their side. They lay on the ground and shivered, and were obediently picked up and pulled by the corpse boy. Two pieces were thrown into the distance.
What is the Corpse King doing? Show me the power of its men? Are you demonstrating against me? The Corpse King shouldn't be that bold.
While I was wondering, the massacre was coming to an end. The swarm of snakes were killed by the corpse boys and their bodies were everywhere. All the corpse boys were covered in blood, but they were still swimming back and forth among the dead snakes under the command of the corpse king, looking for the remaining enemies.
At this time, although the Corpse King was still roaring, there was sadness in its voice. The howling sound coming from the bottom of the altar was like an evil ghost hiding its face and howling, with endless desolation in the terror.
After a while, the corpse king's cry suddenly stopped, and I also saw a corpse boy who looked like a drunk man, staggering and fell among the dead snakes and could not get up again. Immediately afterwards, the second, third... hundreds of corpse boys fell to the ground one after another, and the cries of the Corpse King completely subsided.
At the same time, dozens of giant pythons as thick as human legs also swam from the depths of the poisonous swamp. The first giant python calmly bit the legs of a corpse boy and slowly swallowed it into its stomach.
The corpse boy who was swallowed by the python was obviously still alive, but he could only watch helplessly as his body sank into the snake's mouth inch by inch. His bloody eyes no longer had the viciousness they once had. What was left was only eyes begging for mercy and a constant stream of tears. tears.
After the giant python swallowed a corpse boy, it swam to the next target without finishing it, and swallowed the corpse boys one by one. The body of the python, which was as thick as a human leg, quickly bulged into balls one after another, but the giant python continued to devour its prey as if it didn't know it was full.
I finally understand how this poisonous swamp maintains balance.
