Soon after the pool water was dyed purple, the black snake in the water suddenly went crazy, and rolled its body like crazy and crashed into the mountain wall. The cave was shaken for a while, and pieces of rubble rolled down the mountain wall...
"Lao Du, take your men and retreat quickly. I'll cover you..." As I turned around and roared, the black snake in the water had already stood up, desperately sticking half of its body out of the water, pressing its body against the rock wall, and moving its body up and down to try to rush onto the platform.
The scene was like a live snake thrown into boiling water, causing it to flee desperately. At this time, no matter what it was, as long as it blocked the black snake's escape, it would open its snake mouth mercilessly.
"Take the people away quickly!" From my position I could clearly see that the eight iron chains stretched into a straight line around the black snake's waist had torn holes in its body, and bright red snake blood was dripping down the chains.
According to common sense, the more the black snake struggled under the forceful pull of the iron hook, the more pain it would feel. The fact that it still wanted to get out of the water under such circumstances could only mean that the thing that Xie Wanhua put into the water before her death caused the black snake greater and more unbearable pain.
It won't be long before the black snake goes completely crazy and may even break the chains and force its way onto the platform. By then, even if it is seriously injured and dying, it will still cause heavy casualties to the armed police on the platform.
While Lao Du was urging the armed police to withdraw, I suddenly heard a sound like an iron hook tearing flesh. The next moment, a black snake in the water jumped up from the middle of the pool. The snake's head suddenly hooked the altar suspended in mid-air, and the entire snake's body was stretched into a straight line from top to bottom.
The wound on the black snake's waist had been completely torn apart, and the bright red flesh and blood was clearly visible under the scales. If it continued to struggle like this, it would be torn into two pieces in no time. However, the snake seemed to be unaware of the pain and was still twisting its body wildly.
At this time, the black concubine attached to the snake's head turned around and glared at me.
"Lao Du, take your people away quickly, and hurry up, and don't come back..." I didn't have time to think about why Hei Fei showed murderous intent only towards me, and I was just urging Lao Du.
After Lao Du got into the cave behind the platform, I shouted again: "Monk, you go too, don't talk nonsense to me!"
There is only a long and narrow passage leading to the outside world. This kind of terrain is suitable for snakes to crawl. If there is no one to cover the rear, the person in front will definitely not be able to outrun a snake. Someone must hold the black snake back.
Apart from me, Monk Shi is the most suitable person.
Underwater, Monk Shi risked his life to save me, and that's why I decided to stay and fight the Black Snake alone.
I drew out my long knife and looked at the struggling black snake. Monk Shi took the iron rod without saying a word and stood on the other side of the platform in response to me.
"Monk, what are you doing? Go away..."
Before I finished shouting, I heard a loud noise in the distance, like cotton cloth being torn apart by hand. When I looked back, the black snake had already dragged half of its bloody body around the suspended altar - it had really torn itself apart.
The bloody black snake stayed on the altar for only a moment before it turned its head and rushed towards me. I didn't wait for the snake's head to get close to the platform, I turned around and ran: "Monk, don't do anything, stay away!"
On the narrow platform, I was definitely no match for the snake, and the only chance to kill it was in the passage behind me. I was not afraid of the black snake following me into the passage, but I was afraid that Shi Heshang would intercept it and let us get into a melee again.
After I rushed into the stone door behind the platform, I immediately turned around and stopped in the direction where the black snake was chasing me.
As expected, the mad black snake followed my footsteps and caught up with me. When the snake's head was about to reach the stone gate, Monk Shi suddenly rushed out from the side and hit the curled-up Black Concubine on the head with a stick.
"Don't..." I just shouted one word, and Black Concubine was knocked off the snake's head by Monk Shi's stick.
The Black Concubine was originally connected to the Black Snake. The result of being knocked away by the monk's stick was that either the Black Concubine's feet were left on the snake's head, or a piece of the Black Snake's scalp was peeled off. But no matter what the result was, it would cause the Black Snake to go crazy again.
I just saw the bloody hands of the Black Concubine passed by my eyes, and half of the black snake rushed towards me regardless of everything.
I happened to be standing on the edge of the stairs. When I saw the black snake rushing in, I immediately fell backwards on the stairs, holding the Rakshasa tightly in both hands and pointing the tip of the knife towards the sky.
This is an action I had planned long ago. Whether it will work depends entirely on this one knife.
People in the Northeast seldom kill snakes, but they are not incapable of doing so. In my hometown, there is a way to kill snakes, which is to bury a sharp knife in the snake path, with the tip of the knife facing upwards and slightly exposed above the ground.
Snakes have a habit of taking the same route in and out of caves. Once they crawl out along a route, they will definitely crawl back. When the snake crawls up the route again, the tip of the knife will directly pierce into the snake's jaw. The snake will inevitably rush forward in severe pain. In this way, the snake will be cut open from the chin to the tail.
When I came here, I observed the entire cave. Only the passage behind the stone door was most suitable for burying the knife and killing the snake. I lay on the stairs, which was just right for hiding myself, with only the tip of the knife exposed.
However, I only have this one chance to attack. If I miss, I will really have to fight with all my might.
A short moment later, the black snake that jumped out from behind the stone door had already rushed in front of me. The opponent was so fast that he didn't even notice that there was a staircase below. The whole snake body suddenly jumped out half of the staircase and stopped above the tip of my knife as if suspended in the air.
I grabbed the Rakshasa and stabbed the black snake in the chin. It struggled desperately and flew over me. The snake scales like tiles scratched my body one after another, and the fishy snake blood poured down from my head like water. In just a short moment, I was washed from head to toe by the snake blood.
The black snake that I had cut open with a knife suddenly died when it was about to rush down the stairs, and its whole body fell on me.
From the moment the black snake pounced on me, the snake blood that fell on me seemed to suddenly ignite a fire, and it rushed into my body with unbearable burning pain...
"Old Wu, Old Wu..."
I clearly heard Monk Shi calling me, but I was in so much pain that I couldn't speak.
The snake's blood has entered my body! Is the black snake's blood poisonous? This was my last thought before I passed out.
When I woke up, I was already lying on a hospital bed. Although Shi Heshang was indeed accompanying me, I could not tell that Shi Heshang, who was chatting and laughing with a young nurse, was here to accompany me.
I had been awake for quite a while before Monk Shi noticed me: "Old Wu, are you awake?"
I said, "I hope I didn't disturb your fun?"
The nurse blushed, said "I'll go get the doctor" and turned away. Monk Shi acted as if nothing had happened: "Old Wu, try to practice your skills and see if your skills have increased! I read in a novel that after being poured with snake blood, your skills either increased dramatically or you became invulnerable! Try it now."
"Bullshit!" I almost pissed off Monk Shi to death. "Did lightning blow your head off? Your power has skyrocketed, why don't you say that I ascended to heaven in broad daylight?"
Although I cursed like this, I had a secret expectation in my heart.
Yang Jiakai had fought with the black snake twice, so it was impossible for him not to know what was under the water. However, he had always been very interested in opening the secret burial, which meant that there must be something he needed underneath, maybe it was this black snake.
After I quietly practiced my internal energy, I was disappointed. My internal energy didn't increase at all. It was obvious that Monk Shi's speculation about snake blood was wrong. However, the fact that snake blood could penetrate my skin also showed that it was not simple. It's just that I'm not a poison expert, so I can't figure out the mystery.
I looked up at Monk Shi and asked, "How is the Black Concubine you beat down?"
"Killed! Killed in just a few hits!" Monk Shi said, "Brother, we were able to defeat Yang Jiakai this time and get out of the snake den alive. It was a real bargain."
"When I killed Black Concubine, I found that she had been severely injured. I estimate that her remaining strength is less than 20% of her peak period. If we come in when she is completely exhausted, who knows who will be able to defeat whom!"
"Think about it, besides Yang Jiakai, who else has fought with Hei Fei? They both suffered losses, which allowed us to take advantage of the opportunity. Otherwise, we would have gone to Hades' Palace to have a chat."
Monk Shi was right. I always thought that Black Concubine didn’t play much of a role. It turns out that she was seriously injured.
I looked at Monk Shi and said, "Oh, I haven't asked you yet, what were you thinking at that time? I clearly told you to wait for the right opportunity, so why did you run out and hit the snake?"
Monk Shi said seriously, "You figured it out at the time, saying that I would definitely die. I thought that if I had to die, I should do it heroically, at least I should leave you a way out, right?"
I was stunned by Monk Shi: "When did I say you would definitely die?"
Monk Shi also glared: "If you fortune tellers say that the destiny is messed up, isn't that the same as telling the doctor, 'You're fine, go home and eat well, and relax'? It means that the person will definitely die soon!"
"Fuck!" I was almost pissed off by Monk Shi. "Listen to me! What I say next time is what it is. Don't let your imagination run wild! If we weren't lucky, you would have almost killed me in the water."
I saw that Monk Shi didn't say anything, so I thought he was upset, so I just joked with him: "Is it because you didn't go to the Hades Palace to chat, so you found a little girl to chat with, and left me alone on the bed to struggle for my life?"
Shi Heshang immediately said aggrievedly: "Brother, you don't know! During the two days and one night when you were unconscious, I had nightmares all the time, and I couldn't find anyone to talk to. I had to find a little girl to talk to, otherwise I would have been scared to death."
I couldn't help but be shocked: if a warlock has a nightmare, 90% of the time it is haunted by a ghost. (To be continued)
