With the help of the golden-scaled little snake's domineering aura, the King Snake Formation was unobstructed. In just a moment, the two of them were far away from the area where the Coiled Snake Flower Pillar was.
Lu Bei thought it was a pity that he didn't hear any message. He did pass the King Snake Formation, but the person who passed was She Xuan. He was just a flatterer, and because he took shortcuts, he didn't defeat the opponent, so 100,000 experience points were wasted.
Just as he was thinking about it, he didn't know who of Lu Bei and She Yan stepped on the mechanism. Amid the roar of the earthquake, the huge stone slab collapsed on the slope, revealing a dark and bottomless hole.
Lu Bei looked at the pyramid in the distance, then looked at the deep cave that seemed to be a shortcut. He was undecided and asked She Yan to make the decision.
"run!"
She Xuan sensed something and her expression suddenly changed. The light and shadow of her body turned transparent and she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lu Bei was stunned, and suddenly he got goose bumps due to the biting cold. He saw hazy gray fog floating like flames in the cave in front of him. A pair of giant lantern eyes shone, and a giant python with a length of more than ten meters swam out with a hissing sound.
The python's body was covered in black scales, with a metallic luster that was cold and heavy. Judging from its appearance, it was an enlarged version of the black snake that had blocked the road before. Its head was covered in gray fog, and as it moved, a chain could be seen extending from the gray fog to the cave. At first glance, it seemed as if the chain had tied up the fog.
At this time, Lu Bei saw that the situation was not good and was a hundred meters away.
Listening to the extremely fast sound of the chain being dragged behind him, Lu Bei's forehead was covered with sweat. The speed of the giant python was even more exaggerated than he had imagined. With a basic speed of over 200 and an additional 100-meter sprint, not only did he fail to shake off the giant python, but it was getting closer and closer.
Fortunately, the problem was not serious. They were not far from the pyramid. If a mere small worm wanted to stop him, he could go to hell.
Boom!
On the east side of the pyramid, at the edge of the King Snake Formation, pieces of stone slabs collapsed, and giant gray mist pythons over ten meters long crawled out, spitting out their tongues and rushing towards Lu Bei's location.
…
Lu Bei stopped suddenly, long sword in hand, turned around and killed the giant python behind him.
It was this one, parading around with a smoky head, spreading secondhand smoke everywhere. Lu Bei had been annoyed with it for a long time.
The skill 'Blood Rage' was activated, captured, and judged as a failure.
Skill 'Dark Tide' activated!
Lu Bei narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing the cold light in the depths of his eyes, and the black gold straight knife trembled and was covered with a layer of white blade light.
The giant python sensed the strong murderous intent and slowed down its pursuit. It raised its head and exhaled gray poisonous mist. Its pair of large lantern-like eyes locked onto its prey. When Lu Bei rushed to the best hunting range, the snake suddenly thrust its head forward, opened its bloody mouth, and bit towards Lu Bei's head and torso.
The speed of both parties was amazing, and the shadows in the air were continuous. A white knife flashed, and Lu Bei...
whoosh!
Lu Bei slid to avoid the extremely toxic gray fog, and after getting up, he kept running, running three times faster. In a few breaths, he arrived at the area where the snake column was.
The black venomous snakes poked their heads out, but when they sensed the pressure from their superiors, they all shrank back.
Lu Bei zigzagged along the stone pillar, and after several intrusions, he successfully entangled the giant python that was chasing him. The chain was tied into a knot, and the giant python could not get free despite struggling several times.
Doesn't look very smart!
Lu Bei wiped the sweat off his forehead. The skill 'Blood Rage' rarely failed. Either the enemy's level was higher than his own, or they were idiots. The situation of the Gray Mist Python was more like the latter.
There is murderous intent!
Startled by the unusual movement of air behind him, Lu Bei didn't even think twice and swung his sword at his side.
"Mr. Lu, are you crazy?!"
She Xuan's furious voice rang through the air. In the distorted light and shadow, she got up from the ground in a panic, her face still furious: "I was planning to help you, if you want my life, just say so, don't stab me in the back."
"Uh, you're behind me, okay..."
Lu Bei knew he was in the wrong after nearly shooting his teammate to death. He changed the subject and pointed in the direction of the pyramid: "Those giant pythons are chained and the pursuit distance is limited. Can our Snake Sister calm them down? If so, maybe we can try to take the risk."
"No, their intelligence has been cut off, and they have no brains at all. Bloodline suppression will not work."
She Xuan almost split up and was still frightened. She took two breaths before saying, "Looking at the appearance of the giant python, it must have been refined by someone. Give it a blow. If it's easy to kill, I don't mind taking the risk. If it's not easy to kill..."
At this point, she pointed to the hole where the giant python had dug out and said, "Maybe there is a way out there that can lead directly into the mausoleum."
"You think so, too?"
"Um."
Having said this, the two of them understood each other tacitly and said no more. Lu Bei took out flying knives from his Qiankun bag and threw five in succession, blowing away the gray fog and revealing the iron skull of the giant python.
Just as She Xuan said, the giant python had been artificially modified. After its skull was pried open, it was covered with iron armor forged from cold iron. After the wound healed, its flesh and blood and the armor grew dead, completely becoming one. If the giant python struggled to break free from the chains, its fate would be self-evident.
Another five flying knives were thrown out, and the giant python hissed and fell to the ground, its body covered with scales and blood, but it was immortal because of its strong vitality.
Considering that snakes can still survive for a while after being cut in half, Lu Bei didn't waste energy on finishing off the snake. He looked at She Xuan and nodded, then took a shortcut into the cave.
Not long after the two entered the cave, a group of ten men in black stepped into the King Snake Formation. Each of them had a mask on their face and looked murderous and cold.
"The remnants of Qingqian!"
The leading man glanced at the snake column, snorted coldly, and led the team towards the pyramid.
When passing by the cave, the man paused, and then continued to move forward. Ten people drew their swords and rushed towards the last level of the king snake formation.
Half an hour later, a light cough was heard from the dark cave. Lu Bei poked his head out to check that the surroundings were safe, then waved his hand to ask She Xuan to hurry up.
She Xuan walked out of the cave with a dark face, mumbling non-stop. She knew that using a knife to kill someone was a good strategy. She had also made similar plans, but...
Somehow, when he and Lu Bei used each other to kill someone, his sinister and vicious temperament disappeared, and was replaced by vulgarity.
At the last level of the King Snake Formation, on the east side of the pyramid, the corpses of giant pythons were scattered all over the ground, with dirty blood mixed with poisonous blood. The smell made Lu Bei feel nauseous. Even She Xuan, who had antibodies against snake toxins, could not bear it.
"What a powerful group of big legs. If we follow them, we will have a safe trip." Lu Bei said that he had already laid down. This time the ruins exploration would jump to another map. He no longer wanted to think about the side quests. He just wanted to earn 800,000 basic experience points and consider it not in vain.
"How do you know there will be someone behind you, and how do you know they will help?"
She Xuan asked, "Did you invite this uninvited guest?"
When the group of ten people passed by the cave, She Xuan could feel the other party's investigation. She not only knew that she and Lu Bei were hiding in the cave, but also knew that they planned to use their hands to clear the king snake formation.
They have such a close relationship, are they brothers
"I don't have that much face. It's just a favor from a friend. That's all." Lu Bei raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Aren't you afraid that your friends are unreliable?"
"Yes, there are some. After all, these people only care about life and not money."
Lu Bei touched his chin and said to She Xuan in astonishment, "It's not a big problem. If they are unreliable, I don't have to give face to my friends. Let's show our weapons and see who has a tougher life."
