Someone was following me, probably as we walked to three or four rocks on the ground, not visible, but able to be perceived by me.

I probably know who it is, but I'm not going to dig it out right now.

So, I continued to explore with Jingye, and the feeling of the smell of insect poison gradually thinning out continued.

Walking to a certain location, I stopped.

"What's wrong, brother?" Silent Night asked.

"It's fine." I shook my head and looked at the stone slab beneath my feet, the structure here seemed to be slightly different from before. The slate rules are much more regular, and the distance between them is also much smaller. In the firelight ahead, there seemed to be something dark, flickering continuously.

"But the night is not ......"

"Huh?"

"Hold my hand next."

"Understood, brother."

We kept going, getting closer and closer to the dark glittering thing. The space is gradually becoming narrower, and the surrounding rock walls can already be seen. When we get to a certain location, suddenly! Half of the foot starts to tremble! On the surrounding walls, the rocks fell off, revealing the mouths of stone carvings, and at the same time sprayed crimson high-temperature chains!

Not only on the rock wall, but also around half of the block, the same thing emerged from the lava.

As for the "chains" are just a description, they look like those things, but in fact, as if they are alive, like a long serpent swept towards me and the silent night!

"It's a mechanism. It's actually a ...... again."

I've been paying more and more attention to tricks lately.

In the previous world, all the top-level mechanisms I had seen were related to the Mi family. But everything in front of him is obviously different from the Mi family's mechanical technique. They reminded me that in the special space where the Yin and Yang insect poison stone slab was hidden, unlocking the lock of that space was to crack a mysterious mechanism.

The solution is related to my memory.

And the strange pattern on the wall at the moment is very similar to the box at that time.

Will I enter this space because of that stone slab, the same special space, and leave in the same way, or something similar?

As I pondered this, the crimson chains had entwined me with Silent Night's body. It's not that I don't hide, it's that it comes from all directions, and I simply have nowhere to run. Their temperature was extremely high, and in an instant, they melted me and the "body" of the silent night.

Whew!

The whole world, only the sound of Mars colliding and the remnants of burning remains.

A moment later, bubbles were churning in the magma near the slab, and a huge snake body rose from the heat and climbed onto the rock, its body still as red as the metal melted, but as its body completely detached from the magma, the red color gradually cooled, and it became a huge black snake.

It was the one that was "killed" by me on the ground before.

If there is a purebred snake man underneath this cave. Then the giant snake is most likely also a snake man, or a subspecies.

So the moment I confirmed the identity of the other party, I knew that I probably didn't kill the monster completely.

It's just that the recovery speed of the snake people also has a limit, and even if they catch up, it won't be fast. And the ability that this snake is currently showing is not at all as powerful as the snake man who controls the timeline. So, I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that he really underestimated the difference in the recovery speed between the purebred snake people and the subspecies.

The body of the giant serpent quickly shrank on the top of the rock, revealing the human body and limbs, and from it, she became her.

became a woman covered in snake scales.

The woman came to the ashes of "Me and the Silent Night", "I thought I could resist a little more, but I didn't expect to be killed so easily." It's a pity that the apex meat is not left, damn it. But it's not completely unrewarding, at least, that nasty guy was also killed. ”

She seemed to be about to leave, but just before leaving, a hand burst out of the ground! grabbed her ankle, "Actually, there's a lot of meat left, so there's no need to be so disappointed." ”

I broke out of the ground.

Two purebred snake men, same strategy.

She looked at me in amazement, her body alienated, her legs broke free from my hands, turned into a snake's tail, and tried to escape! It's a pity that my touch is a step quicker and wraps around her body!

Her strength is immense, on par with me, and even better than me after becoming a giant serpent.

So in fact, I had a hard time controlling her.

Fortunately, she didn't know much about me, and when I saw that she was going to turn into a giant snake again, I threatened: "Actually, I have no intention of killing you, but I am also a little troubled by you escaped, who knows what else you will do?" What mechanism to control? So if you insist on leaving, I'll have to kill you. ”

The snake's power is far superior to hers.

She had reason to believe that my words were not false. 100 Literature

After a moment of hesitation, she finally gave up her resistance. The image of a purebred snake man, half human and half snake, in front of my eyes, gradually regained its human appearance.

"Leave me alone?"

"I don't seem to have a reason to kill you." I let go of her and kept my distance from her.

She turned her gaze a few times between me and Jingye, and asked, "No, you don't kill me, you actually want to get some secrets from my mouth, right?" Otherwise, you would have been back to the surface long ago, so why bother drilling this magma cave. ”

This snake girl just doesn't understand the weakness of my abilities, but she's by no means a fool.

I didn't hide my purpose either, "almost." I wonder why you're hiding in this cave all the time. And what is the flickering black shadow ahead? ”

"We're not hiding. As for the black shadow, it is in front of you, and it is not far away, you are so powerful, why don't you go and see for yourself, and ask me what to do. ”

"Your attitude makes me want to change my mind."

The snake girl smiled coldly, "Kill me? I may have believed your words a few seconds ago. But now, I'm kind of reacting to it, and you may not be able to kill me successfully. You couldn't have built a scaffold to poke me without that little girl as bait, and you didn't seem to be able to control my body without poking me. So most likely, your power is under me who is completely snaked. So here, I may not be able to kill you, and I may not be able to fight hard, but at least you can't catch me, am I right? As for the way to kill that guy, don't you, you can't use it a second time? Or, can't use it for the time being? ”

All right.

This guy is really not stupid.

I didn't deny it.

But I didn't admit it.

immediately changed the subject and pointed to the snake tail behind him, "You and this guy shouldn't have a good relationship, although I don't know what your relationship is." ”

"Well, it's not good. Otherwise, the attitude of chatting with you now is probably not like this. But what do you mean by suddenly changing the subject? ”

"I mean, we don't have a grudge, you don't get along with him, but I'm a good person. Didn't you just catch us just for a bite to eat? He's got a good piece of meat, and I can give you half of it. "I untied the snake's tail, turned my arm into a worm's claw, split it in two, and threw half of it in front of the snake girl.

She looked at the meat, her throat twitching, and then she looked up at me, "You...... What do you mean by that? ”

It's not complicated. Since you said that you didn't stay in this place to hide from anything, it must be for some kind of benefit, and in that case, it makes no difference if you cooperate with the dead snake or with me. ”

"How do I know if you want to eat me too." Instead of picking up the meat, she stared at me cautiously.

"Didn't you just say it yourself, I can't catch you. You can't kill me. Since none of us can deal with anyone, there is no question of who eats whom. ”

She swallowed again, bent down, picked up the half of the snake's tail, and bit it down.

……

The snake girl said that her name was Yu Xia.

About ninety years ago, when she entered this mysterious space, she was strong when she came, but at that time she was just a simple worm and did not have snake blood. She used to live in the city, but because of the power struggle in the city, she almost became the food of the enemy's mouth. And the person who saved her was the purebred snake man I killed earlier.

As for the origin of that guy, Yu Xia didn't know.

He rescued Yu Xia, not out of kindness, but just to fight for food. Yu Xia's husband and best friend all died at the hands of purebred snake people and became food. Yu Xia was kept by the purebred snake man as a helper because of the special ability that appeared after obtaining the snake man's bloodline. And Yu Xia also chose to compromise in order to survive.

As for her abilities......

"My left eye can turn my body into something like soft mud, which I thought was useless, until I accidentally came into contact with the flames, and I realized that it could make me ignore the heat, any heat. To put it simply, nothing in this world can burn me. And my right eye, which can devour hot things and store them in my body, will not be hurt by it, and you should have discovered the magma in my body if you 'killed' me. ”

The ability to ignore temperature?

In that case, the purebred snake man mentioned in Yu Xiakou's mouth may have been the original purpose of this underground cave.

But other than that, I was a little confused, "Actually, I don't believe it, you're just a subspecies of snake people." ”

"What am I?"

"As far as I know, the alienation of the snake people infected with flesh and blood does not have a snake tail." That's what Du Youlan told me.

Yu Xia looked at me with some surprise, "You know a lot about this thing." You're right. But I don't know if you know, the snake subspecies has a very low chance of appearing in the third form. i.e. the serpentification. I did have a snake tail before, but not in my second form, but in my third form halfway through. ”

Speaking of the giant snake, when I was in the Eternal Life Pavilion before, I did see it, and that woman also had the so-called third form.

So, this problem is closed.

Next, the key content was mentioned, "Why did that purebred snake man stay in this underground cave all the time, and what was the purpose?" ”

Yu Xia didn't respond immediately, but looked up at the top of the cave, and that gaze seemed to penetrate the rock wall and saw the blood-colored sky above the ground. Then she slowly responded, "This is hell, who wants to be trapped here all the time...... The guy was dangerous, but he said there was a way to get out of here. ”
