Chapter 123: The Snake Demon Labyrinth

It didn't take too long to walk the short distance of fifty paces. On this stone path, no footprints or fallen objects related to Kong Zhao were found, such as hair and blood stains. Lu Chaoran stopped and looked at the surface of the pond. A thought came to his mind: "Could it be that something pulled him into the water?"

He was reluctant to believe such thoughts. He knew that with his current cultivation, it was unlikely that he would not be able to hear the sound of entering the water about ten steps behind him. What's more, now Kong Zhao is also a monk at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm. In the secret realm of Ten Thousand Snake Valley, which has a limited level, who can drag him into the water without a sound? It's just that in this dark and deep labyrinth, he can't help but verify all possibilities.

So he didn't say a word and jumped straight into the water. The underwater world was even darker, only the faint light of those lotus flowers on the surface of the water was reflected, even if he had the pupil power of the third layer of the Imitation Purple Night Demon Pupil, it would take a lot of effort to distinguish the underwater environment.

All he saw was the long stalks of the lotus flowers, extending down from the surface of the water and down to the depths of the water, until they were hidden in the dark chaos. The pond is bottomless.

Lu Chaoran surfaced and folded a lotus flower nearby. Ignoring the blood and bloody qi flowing from the broken place, he held the glimmering white lotus flower and dived into the water again. The lotus flower became his "torch" underwater.

He dived deeply, fifty meters until he reached the bottom of the pond. The bottom of the pond has a thick layer of silt. The glimmer of the lotus flower in Lu Chaoran's hand was a little brighter under the pitch-black water, and he knew that this was because of the contrast. The light was still faint, only able to illuminate a radius of about five meters around him.

Lu Chaoran swam at the bottom of the pool for a while. On one side is the stone wall, this stone wall is the roadbed of the stone road above, and on the other side there seems to be no end, I don't know how far, he turned his back to the stone wall, and swam forward for a while, but he didn't see anything, only many lotus stems growing out of the silt.

Kong Zhao shouldn't come to the water, Lu Chaoran said to himself in his heart. He probed and confirmed his judgment.

Suddenly, a pale human face entered the range illuminated by the lotus flower from the dark and chaotic front! This sudden appearance of the human face made Lu Chaoran's heart twitch violently, as if he was stung by an electric current. The face was very beautiful and fair, but there was no expression at all. This face approached Lu Chaoran, and the two black hole eyes stared directly at Lu Chaoran. In an instant, Lu Chaoran felt that this was Kong Zhao's face. The small face, delicate facial features, and pale complexion are exactly the same! It's just that the wooden expression and the black pupils should not be what Kong Zhao has.

Lu Chaoran was terrified in his heart, and subconsciously opened his mouth, wanting to call Kong Zhao's name, forgetting that it was in the water, so a large string of bubbles gurgled out, and the cold and smelly pool water poured into his throat. At this moment, Lu Chaoran suddenly realized that he immediately closed his mouth. The cold water that was swallowed seemed to make Lu Chaoran sober up a little. Only then did he realize that the face was not Kong Zhao.

When he came to his senses, the face suddenly sped up, and opened its mouth, revealing Bai Sensen's fangs and blood-red snake letters. Half of the human body behind this face and the snake body below the waist also swam meandering, entering Lu Chaoran's line of sight. It's a snake demon again! This snake demon's snake skin is snow-white, as pale as the face, and this is a female snake demon.

At the moment when the snake demon's poisonous fangs bit Lu Chaoran's throat, Lu Chaoran's left fist smashed firmly on the snake demon's chest, and only then did that wooden face show a painful and distorted expression. She struggled and writhed in vain for a while, then lost her life, and her body slowly sank and lay on the mud. And a milky white chaotic body True Yuan floated out of her body and submerged into Lu Chaoran's body.

Lu Chaoran paddled quickly with his legs in the water, quickly floated up, and when he came out of the water, he breathed heavily. Even if he encountered the snake demon underwater just now, he was still sure that Kong Zhao did not go into the water. These snake demons were still within the range of the initial stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and there was no way to drag Kong Zhao into the water silently. In the water, he found no other oddities.

Back on the stone road, Lu Chaoran decided to go back, Kong Zhao disappeared at a certain section of the road he came from. If you go further, you can only get farther and farther away from the place where Kong Zhao disappeared.

He walked back for a while, and soon came to the intersection of the road. The place where he broke the stone bricks is still there. Everything seemed normal, but Lu Chaoran felt creepy! Because judging from the inclination of the road surface, the direction was completely wrong. From this intersection to the place where he had just jumped into the water, the road had been slowly sloping downward. In other words, when he returns to this intersection, the road should be slowly inclined upwards. However, the stone path leading to the intersection in front of you is now sloping downward!

He hadn't paid attention to this problem just now, and now he suddenly found out about it. Look at the road in front of you, the left and right sides stretch infinitely, very horizontal.

"Does this maze mean that I should go up this horizontal stone path? Now it has deliberately confused the direction of the straight, so that I can't tell which side is coming from. Lu Chaoran pondered the idea of the labyrinth, as if this labyrinth was an intelligent living being.

Could it be that Kong Zhao, who was behind me, saw this horizontal stone path, but he didn't know why, and didn't tell me, so he walked on this road on his own? Oh, no, no, no, how is this possible?

Lu Chaoran now felt a burst of helplessness and despair. He now felt that instead of getting lost in this labyrinth, it was better to face the more than 2,000 snake demons with Kong Zhao and the others. That way, even if both of them die in the end, at least they can kill them first. Now there is nowhere to go, if you can't find a way out, you will die in a nest, it is really very depressing!

He looked at the white lotus flowers in the pond, each of which looked at him like a human face, as if they were laughing at him. He roared angrily from his heart, shook his arm violently, and the fierce palm wind split the lotus flowers one by one, and for a while the bright red blood in the pond splashed everywhere, and the split lotus flowers dimmed and converged their brilliance.

The lotus flowers around him became fewer and fewer, the light became dimmer and dimmer, and the bloody aura became thicker and thicker.

After venting like this for a while, Lu Chaoran suddenly stopped, showed nervousness on his face, and began to listen carefully.

He seemed to hear Kong Zhao's shouts in the distance!
