Chapter 176: The Scarlet Wedding Banquet
The group of snakes in the main hall that had already receded was actually driven by this strange flute sound, and they actually began to be restless again!
Tang Haoqi reacted instantly and shouted, "The flute sound is different!" Cover your ears – quick! ”
Hearing his hearty shout, the almost sluggish people woke up like a dream, and they all moved according to his words.
"Cover your ears!"
"That's the Beast Tamer." Ye Luoqing quickly leaned towards Luo Liyao's side, protected her behind him, and handed her a ball of cotton for ear plugging, separating the distance between her and the restless snakes, "Your Highness, is it possible to ......?"
Ye Luoqing turned his head sideways and glanced at her slightly.
"Not sure yet." Luo Liyao naturally knew what she was thinking, so she divided the cotton a little bit to block her ears, and responded in a low voice, "If it's her, there's no reason why you shouldn't attack us there." Moreover, she and Chu Lingze are brother and sister...... Today, but Chu Lingze's wedding banquet, she has no reason to destroy it. ”
"Hey, I don't know my heart." Tang Haoqi also covered his ears with cotton balls and stood beside the two of them, "What if she is a villain?" ”
However, no one answered his question anymore, Luo Liyao and Ye Luoqing both blocked their ears, and the three of them could only communicate with simple gestures and eye contact.
And all the people present at the feast covered their ears with their hands and shrank away from the snakes in panic.
But the sound of the flute became louder and louder, and it became more and more sharp, which made the surrounding snakes restless—some snakes were already shaking their bodies, and they rushed straight towards the protective circle that Tang Haoqi and Ye Luoqing had sprinkled with yellow stone powder just now.
"This ......"
Luo Liyao subconsciously wanted to scream, but she suppressed her impulse, glanced at Ye Luoqing, and then turned her head to look at Tang Haoqi.
Ye Luoqing has been traveling south and north for many years, and her face is as imagined, and there is no panicked look.
Tang Haoqi, on the other hand, was unusually excited.
The snakes hissed and spat out the letters, and once again gathered together quickly, heading straight for the protective circle of yellow emolous stone powder.
And the hearts of most of the people in the circle were also lifted in an instant—in their opinion, this yellow medicinal powder seemed to be feared by snakes, such as a snake that had just touched the medicinal powder, and instantly fell to the ground and lost its ability to move.
But at this moment, as soon as the flute sounded, the snakes were not afraid of death as if they had fallen into an evil spirit, and rushed towards the people in the circle.
In this case, can the powder still have an effect on the snakes?
A small cyan snake went straight towards the eternal night, but the moment it touched the yellow stone powder, it fell down and did not move again.
And behind it, there were countless snakes, one after the other, scrambling to get into the circle.
At the same time, Yongye, who was already a little frightened, was pulled up by Yongjun who came in a hurry, and pushed him farther away: "What are you doing in a daze, don't you hide away quickly!" ”
Yongye was pushed by him to stumble a few steps, and suddenly hit the table in front of Chu Zhaoxi, fell to the ground with a pale face, and called out in a daze: "Brother......"
Although Cao Han was a little embarrassed by this sudden situation, while blocking Chu Zhaoxi behind him, he did not lose the queen's prestige, and even made a sarcastic remark about Yongye: "Concubine Yong, pay attention to your manners." ”
Eternal Night: "......"
Chu Zhaoxi was speechless, looking at the woman in front of him who was desperately protecting himself behind him and blocking all his sight by the way, he had some mixed feelings - this was a woman he owed a lot, and he seemed to have not looked at her seriously for a long, long time, her back was so thin, and the rich and gorgeous queen's dress looked like she weighed a thousand catties, which made people worry about how she could bear it.
Tang Haoqi pointed to the snakes that wanted to break in but collapsed when they touched the yellow stone powder, and poked Luo Liyao's arm beside him to signal to her.
Luo Liyao nodded, indicating that she understood what he meant—at least, the effect of yellow food stone powder on snakes could still be exerted.
However, there are simply too many snakes.
The sound of the flute drove them frantically into the circle, and they fell on top of the yellow stone powder one after another, but they still went inside without fear of death.
And the people inside can't do anything but wait.
What to wait for?
Waiting for the snakes to break through the protective circle surrounded by yellow food stone powder, waiting for them to come in and bite themselves?
Or wait for the guards outside to notice something strange and come to the rescue with torches and more snake medicine.
This group of colorful snakes seems to be endless, and when one batch is poured, more batches will be added from behind, never ending and never stopping.
Ye Luoqing's face slowly became solemn, and he stretched out his hand to his waist.
Eternal Night propped up the table, as if he wanted to stand up, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't support his body, so he had to struggle alone in vain.
Cao Han grabbed his cuffs tightly and glanced sideways at Chu Zhaoxi behind him, but he was caught off guard by the soft look he had never seen in his eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away, forcibly suppressed the strange irritability in her heart, and held the gold knife on the table to cut food tightly in her hand.
Tang Haoqi lifted his sleeves twice, revealing the arrows in his sleeves installed on his wrists, and the cold light at the arrows and the red candle light flickered with the obscurity of the people around him
Thinking.
Luo Liyao took a deep breath, and the face that haunted her slowly appeared in her mind.
"Enter...... Come in! ”
"The snakes are in!"
"They're in! Come in—"
"Help! Help ......"
"Ahh
The screams burst forth, piercing the night in an instant, piercing through the hoarse sound of the snakes spitting letters, and even briefly muffling the gradually piercing flute.
Tang Haoqi and the others blocked their ears with cotton balls, and they couldn't hear all the sounds very clearly, but they instantly guessed what was going on from the panicked crowd that they glimpsed out of the corner of their eyes—the snakes had broken through the circle surrounded by yellow food stone powder.
The snake-avoiding effect of yellow eating stone powder has not failed, nor has it weakened, but there are too many snakes, so they rush into the circle frantically like a desperate general, one fell and another one, and it didn't take long for the small number of yellow eating stone powder to be directly covered by the snake body of the fallen snake.
The snake in the back can enter the circle unhindered by following the body of the snake in front, and it can't touch the powder of the yellow food stone at all.
Sure enough, there are still too many of them.
Before Luo Liyao could react, there were already people bitten by the snakes one after another, and the highly venomous venom was injected into the body of the bitten person along with the snake's fangs, and the huge pain made the bitten person let out a hoarse scream.
Ye Luoqing pulled out the soft sword on his waist, and shot like lightning, directly cutting off the several poisonous snakes that were rushing towards them in unison.
Tang Haoqi snorted, slapped all the remaining yellow food stone powder in the package on Luo Liyao's body, and protected her behind her with Ye Luoqing.
At this time, at the time of life and death, Yongjun couldn't care about this anymore, and went straight to the sheath of the long sword hanging on the side as a decoration, and protected it in front of Yongye and the others.
However, the power of mortals will eventually be exhausted, and the serpents will continue to rush towards the surviving people like a tidal wave, as if vowing to tear them apart and poison them to death.
Tang Haoqi couldn't stop opening his mouth and panting, and reluctantly used the short sword made of arrows in his sleeve to cut back the bunch of snakes in front of him, and his sleeve was once again stained with new snake blood.
The poisonous snakes are colorful, and the blood of the snakes is not all the usual bright red, some are even dark green with visible heat to the naked eye, and only a drop will corrode a blood hole on the skin - fortunately, Tang Haoqi was prepared for a long time, and wrapped several layers of medicated gauze on his bare wrists, and did not let his body suffer substantial damage.
After fighting hard for a long time, the only ones who can barely support some time are Yongjun, Tang Haoqi and Ye Luoqing, and the bodies of several people are also the most embarrassed among the survivors, especially the corrosive
The blood of the snake is also instantaneous when it gets on the clothes, making their clothes already tattered and undignified, and they look quite embarrassed.
Blood all over the ground, poisoned purple-black, colorful poisonous snake blood, bright red human blood...... The red felt carpet on the wedding banquet was gradually dyed unsightly.
The piercing flute continued, and the snakes continued to pour towards them endlessly.
Tang Haoqi coughed unconsciously, narrowly avoided the attack of a purple snake, and cut it off with his backhand.
The purple snake was cut off by him, and after the head and body were separated, when the head and tail fell to the ground, the tail was still moving slowly, and the mouth with fangs slowly opened, as if it was very unwilling, Luo Liyao felt nauseous, and the feeling of fear instantly spread from the bottom of her heart to the limbs.
Are they really going to die here?
This is probably the first time in Luo Liyao's life that she feels a moment of despair - even in the face of a difficult situation, she can rely on her scheming and skills to fight for a way to break the game.
However, what she is facing now is not a calculating person, but a group of poisonous snakes with no rational mind to speak of, an existence that she has no way to do.
Ye Luoqing is right, no matter how smart she is, as long as she has no force, then she is simply inactive in front of such an unreasonable beast.
Luo Liyao patted her face, forcibly calmed herself, and unsheathed the dagger in her sleeve, and saw that several poisonous snakes had opened their fangs and headed towards Tang Haoqi's left back shoulder.
Tang Haoqi's habitual hand was his right hand, and most of his energy was also on his right side, and he didn't notice these poisonous snakes attacking him at all.
"Be careful!"
Luo Liyao subconsciously shouted, but soon realized that he couldn't hear it at all, so he waved his dagger straight away, wanting to block it for him.
But after all, she is a Xiaobai who is not familiar with all weapons and has zero force value, Luo Liyao can only cut off a few of them - one of them flicked her tail and directly bit off her exposed wrist!
The fangs buckled deeply into her white wrist, instantly bringing some paralyzing sensations, centered on the wound pierced by the fangs, the purple-black venom quickly spread under the skin, and from a distance, it seemed as if a bewitching purple-black flower had bloomed on her wrist.
And Luo Liyao's first reaction turned out to be that being bitten by a poisonous snake didn't seem to hurt much.
As soon as Ye Luoqing turned her head, she saw Luo Liyao staring at her wrist in such a daze, the poisonous snake was still firmly biting her wrist, and her tail seemed to be swaying happily from side to side.
"Your Highness!" Tang Haoqi was so frightened that he quickly swung his blade to cut off all the poisonous snakes that pounced on him, and grabbed the tail of the poisonous snake with one hand
The hand retracted the blade and broke the snake's head, trying to tear it off Luo Liyao's hand with force.
But before he could exert his strength, the red poisonous snake fell off Luo Liyao's body by itself, fell to the ground and shook a few times, and then completely stopped.
It looks like it's poisoned.
Tang Haoqi reacted quickly, and hurriedly pressed Luo Liyao's wound desperately, squeezed out some purple-black poisonous blood, and hurriedly touched the poison from his arms.
While protecting the two, Ye Luoqing looked at the poisonous snake that seemed to have been poisoned by Luo Liyao and fell to the ground, and his face suddenly turned pale.
