Chi Yu was silent for a moment and said: "Big brother, do you think I really did this just for the private relationship between men and women? Father has long said that after a hundred years, the burden of leading the Worm Valley will be handed over to Xiao Yue, and if the kid surnamed Cao is Xiao Yue's husband at that time, what do you guess will be?"

"Xiao Yue obeyed him, and when the time came, our entire Worm Valley would be equivalent to falling into the hands of outsiders. ”

"That's right, Worm Valley is my father's painstaking management for decades to develop to this point, through everyone's efforts, the revival of our clan is just around the corner, at this juncture, we can't let everyone's hopes be ruined because of Xiaoyue's willfulness. ”

Chi Jiang nodded. "This matter is indeed more thoughtful by you, don't worry, I will definitely keep this matter secret after returning to the Worm Mountain Valley, the kid surnamed Cao died in an accident today. ”

After falling into the lake, Cao Xiaoyang felt as if he had fallen into the highly corrosive acid, and every inch of his skin was burning hotly, but fortunately, with the protection of the Golden Silkworm Gu in his body, these venoms could only stay on the surface of his skin, and could not enter the body, so he could barely keep his mind clear at the moment.

The buoyancy of the lake mixed with venom seemed to become weaker, and Cao Xiaoyang felt his body keep falling like a piece of iron.

In fact, even if there is no snake venom in this lake, Cao Xiaoyang can't escape, because he has a fatal weakness, he can't swim, as time passes, suffocation makes Cao Xiaoyang's consciousness begin to blur, and at this time his body stopped sinking, and he seems to have reached the bottom of the lake.

But suddenly he felt the rock behind him start to move, and then he began to fall downward, and with a plop, he felt that he suddenly left the lake, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a huge cave at the bottom of Hongyue Lake, and there was a magical force at the entrance of the cave that isolated the lake from the space below, so that a dry and airy space appeared at the bottom of the lake.

Soon Cao Xiaoyang fell to the ground of this cave, because there was soft fine sand underneath, so he didn't fall from such a height.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that he didn't have to drown at all.

But soon he realized that he seemed to be overjoyed too soon, and the bottom of the lake, which should have been dark, was very bright at the moment, and the whole huge space was filled with a blue-green glow.

He slowly stood up, and found that the walls of the cave around him were shining with a metallic luster, as if he had seen this kind of scene somewhere, and suddenly his heart tightened, could it be......

At that moment, the metallic objects around him began to move slowly and make a rustling sound, as a dozen giant snake heads approached him.

They spit out the letter, and the big forked tongue swept over Cao Xiaoyang's body, Cao Xiaoyang swallowed his saliva, and at this moment he was so frightened that his soul was about to fly away, yes, what was glowing around here was not the rock wall of the cave, but the scales of a large group of giant pythons hovering in the cave.

At the same time, Cao Xiaoyang was still a little puzzled, the Witch King had said before that the refining of the beetle snake Gu was to make these big snakes kill each other, and the last one that survived would become a beetle snake.

Judging from the situation on the surface of the lake just now, the beetle snake has been cultivated, and even if there is a snake at the bottom of the lake, there should only be the injured one, but now looking around, there are no less than two dozen giant pythons in front of him.

At this moment, Cao Xiaoyang could only stand there like a piece of wood, not daring to move at all, for fear that these giant pythons would suddenly become powerful, and he might be dismantled in eight pieces.

"It's really rare, we haven't had a guest at the bottom of the Red Moon Lake for a long time. ”

Hearing this voice, Cao Xiaoyang was a little stunned for a while, thinking to himself if there were other living people at the bottom of this lake?

At this time, several pythons in front of him suddenly spread out to both sides, and an old man with white hair in front of him staggered towards this side.

Cao Xiaoyang took a closer look at him, and found that there were a lot of blood stains on the old man's snow-white clothes, he seemed to be seriously injured, and then looked at his lower body, Cao Xiaoyang even suspected that his eyes were spent, only to see that his lower body did not have legs, but dragged to the ground with a snake body.

This half-human, half-snake image Cao Xiaoyang had only heard of it in myths and legends, but he didn't expect it to really appear in front of him at this moment.

"You...... Are you a human or a snake?"

The old man slowly "crawled" in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "What do you say? Who injured me just now?"

Cao Xiaoyang was suddenly shocked. "You're the beetle snake just now!"

The old man snorted coldly and said, "It was indeed me just now, but I really don't dare to take the name 'beetle snake', because that thing is a legendary artifact, and it is impossible to transform it into a lowly body like ours." ”

"But that beetle snake Gu ......"

Fifteen years ago, the Witch King led his people to capture wisteria pythons all over the mountains and fields, and imprisoned hundreds of my kind in this Red Moon Lake, trying to make us kill each other in order to refine what kind of beetle snake Gu. As everyone knows, our wisteria python is different from those lowly poisonous insects, even if we starve to death, it is impossible for us to kill each other, so the Witch King's abacus was wrong from the beginning, and now how can he get any beetle snake Gu. ”

"But if there was no beetle, why were you able to release venom just now, and why did you become this half-human, half-snake?"

The old man was silent for a moment and said: "Because I am an outlier among the wisteria pythons, I was actually a human being when I was born, but then I was abandoned by my parents in the mountains and rescued by a wisteria python, and later the wisteria python became my mother and raised me.

Because I lived and ate with snakes for a long time, or maybe I had some kind of wonderful fate with snakes, I eventually became this half-human, half-snake.

Because of my special physique, which is half human and half snake, I gradually grew fangs later, and I can also transform into the form of a giant python, and then the snake group began to support me as a special anomaly, and I became their leader, and some people who had seen me in the mountains gave me a name, called the snake fairy. ”

Cao Xiaoyang once heard Chi Xiaoyue tell the legend of the snake immortal, saying that it was a wisteria python that had practiced for thousands of years and had the ability to transform into a human form, but now it seems that it is just a deed made up by the Miao people.

The snake immortal is not able to transform into a human body because of his cultivation, but because he is a human being.

"After we were trapped at the bottom of this lake by the Witch King, in order to prevent the Witch King from killing them all, I deliberately disguised the illusion that the Snake Gu was being cultivated little by little, until now that the time to become a Gu has come, I have to pretend to be an out-of-control Snake and be slaughtered by them, so as to save these of my kind. ”

"But for more than ten years, haven't you thought about escaping from here?"

"Why not, in fact, there is a passage to the outside world under this cave, but it's just ......"

As he spoke, the snake immortal took Cao Xiaoyang to the edge of the cave, only to see that the stone wall of the cave was densely covered with a layer of black net, and Cao Xiaoyang saw that this black net was also woven from the snake skin of that poisonous snake.

"In addition to these, traps have already been laid around Hongyue Lake to stop us, and even if we rush out of the lake, we will not be able to escape. ”

Cao Xiaoyang understood that this entire Red Moon Lake was originally a cage specially built by the Witch King to raise Gu.

"You humans have always talked about us snakes, but you don't know that people's hearts are hundreds of times more poisonous than my snake venom!"

Cao Xiaoyang had already heard the anger of this snake immortal, and said in a hesitant voice: "Since you hate humans so much, why did you ...... just now Didn't kill me......"

Cao Xiaoyang knew that he was asking such a question completely asking for trouble, but now that he was trapped here, this was also a problem that he would have to face sooner or later.

The snake fairy said: "Because I feel that you are different from them, over the years, there have been no less than a hundred people and other animals who have fallen into this Red Moon Lake, even fish cannot survive in this highly poisonous lake, and you are the only one who has reached here alive." Your body is special, so I think you may be carrying us out of here with hope. ”

Cao Xiaoyang thought to himself, if he released so many wisteria pythons, he would probably become a sinner who opened Pandora's treasure box, but looking at the current situation, he didn't seem to have the right to refuse them.
