Text Chapter 57: The Snake Vine on the Other Side
The snake vine on the other side is a magic tree
Want to break the root of the snake vine lake
The golden vine wrapped around Xiaomei's neck like a snake, although the vine was not thick, but its strength was great, just wrapped around Xiaomei's neck, she couldn't say a word more because she couldn't breathe, and could only make a "gurgling" sound in her throat.
Seeing Xiaomei like this, I wanted to get up and save her. But at this moment, there was a flash of golden light in front of my eyes, and two vines like poisonous snakes attacked me.
The two vines came very fast, up and down and straight to my chest and ankles. Although they are separate, they work together seamlessly, no matter what direction I go to hide at this moment, even if I can avoid one vine, then the other vine will never be able to dodge.
The black-robed Yuk is still roaring, the candles in the tomb are still flickering, the water is still swelling, and human life is gradually withering.
It is not only life that is withering, but also hope, the hope of survival.
And once a person no longer has any hope of survival, what is the difference between him and death?
I can't die!
So, I have to have hope, I have to have hope for life, hope for myself, hope for victory.
Because only with hope can we see the light.
Only with light can you see the sky that seems to have been lost for a long time.
Only the thirst for victory can send this damned Yuk back to the endless underworld.
Only with hope can Zhang Chengyong and them be taken out of this endless underground palace.
So, I didn't move, I just waited quietly and waited for the time to come.
And just as the two vines were about to roll up on me, I suddenly shrank backwards, and then rolled over in the air, like a cunning rabbit through the gap between the two of them.
After missing the blow, the two vines seemed to be possessed by a spirit snake, and they also turned over in mid-air and pounced on me again.
I dodged as fast as I could, and they chased even tighter, giving me no respite.
The place in the middle of the lake is not large, and if I continue to fight like this, I guess I will have to be strangled by the damn vines for a maximum of three rounds.
I can't think about it, and I don't have time to think about it.
In desperation, I could only sweep forward as fast as I could, thinking to myself, "If I'm not mistaken, most of the reason why these vines can attack us so flexibly is because of him." As the saying goes, if you want to escape from here, you have to take down this old boy first. ”
At this point, my feet were faster, and after a few turns, I was already close to the black-robed Yuk.
And just as I was about to do it, suddenly there was a loud shout from my side.
The roar was deafening, and it sounded full of anger, full of hatred.
The roar came quickly, but the roarer came faster.
In the blink of an eye, a figure had already pounced in front of Yuk, and with a punch, the once-invincible Yuk was knocked several meters sideways and slammed to the ground.
However, he didn't intend to stop there, and after the first blow was successful, the whole person pounced like a tiger, and raised his fist to shine on Yuk's golden-masked face was a "Pegasus Meteor Fist".
And at this time, I saw clearly that this person was actually Zhang Chengyong, who had fainted before.
"This kid is a fucking camel! The ability to resist hits is really strong! The head was smashed like that, and at this time, there was still such combat effectiveness. "Seeing that Zhang Chengyong is fine, my hanging heart has settled down a little.
"Lao Zhang, be careful! This guy is not easy to deal with! I shouted.
"I know! Lao Tzu, I have to settle the new accounts and old accounts with him today! Tianyi, can you help me see how Xiaomei is doing? Zhang Chengyong raised his fists as he spoke.
The fierce golden mask on the black-robed Yuke's face was all knocked out by him, but Zhang Chengyong still didn't plan to stop.
The blood was still flowing, slowly flowing down the wound on Zhang Chengyong's forehead, flowing through his bloodshot eyes with anger, flowing through his muscular tight cheeks, and flowing to the corners of his twitching mouth, under this strange light, Zhang Chengyong was like a devil, a devil from hell. And the Yuk beneath him is like a poor ghost, let him bully, let him vent the anger in his heart.
Zhang Chengyong continued to swing his fists, even if dozens of vines entangled him, they still couldn't stop the anger in his heart.
And I've seized this opportunity to run to Xiaomei's side.
Xiaomei was lying on the ground coughing uncontrollably, and the vine that was originally wrapped around her neck had been broken by Zhang Chengyong.
"Xiaomei, how do you feel?" I asked as I picked her up. "Is the injury serious?"
"Brother Tianyi, I'm fine! That knife didn't hurt the part I was going to hurt! Xiaomei looked at me and said anxiously: "Brother Tianyi, listen well!" That woman was suppressed by your blood, but some of her memories still linger in my mind. I can't piece everything together at once, but there are a few things I have to tell you! ”
"Okay, Xiaomei, you say, I'll listen!" I looked at Xiaomei and said.
"The position we are in now is on the canopy of a tree, and this tree is called the Snake Vine on the Other Side. It is a tree that grows on the other side of the Styx River in Hell and lives by absorbing the undead spirits. Yuk fused his body with this magic vine and made himself the master of this tree in order to achieve his own goal of immortality...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Xiaomei said and kept coughing, "However, since this tree is called the snake vine on the other side, it naturally means that it hibernate and molt like a snake, but this snake vine on the other side changes its skin every sixty years." And once he molts, all his defenses will be minimized, and we will only be able to kill him then. ”
Hearing Xiaomei's words, I couldn't help but glance back at the dark brown skin on the side of the coffin, and said in a lost voice: "According to what you say, this year is the year for him to molt?" ”
"That's right! So, this is our only chance! Xiaomei said.
"In that case, then how can we kill him!" I asked.
"Brother Tianyi, listen up! Yuk is now one with this snake vine on the other side, but it is not him who is weak, it is the demon vine that is weak. Yuk was protected by the Xuantian Demon Eye before, and all creatures couldn't get close to him, but now I've destroyed it! Ahem...... "Xiaomei coughed incessantly, "However, we can't kill his physical body, because under the protection of the demon vine, he has a strong self-healing ability like a lizard." Even if we cut off his head, he could grow one. The only way we could kill him was to destroy his heart and the vine, and his heart was at the base of the vine at the bottom of the Lake of Questions. So ......"
Xiaomei suddenly paused when she said this, and she didn't continue.
But I got what she meant.
I nodded, gritted my teeth and said, "I see!" ”
"Use this!" Just then, ICE suddenly passed a C4 explosive from behind me.
"Are you alright? Is the injury serious? I asked with concern as I looked at Ice's bloodied left shoulder.
"It's fine!" Ice said that it was okay, but the beads of sweat and trembling lips on her face seemed to tell "how can it be okay"!
"Hmmm! It's okay! I knew about Ice's stubborn character, so I didn't go any further, I just reached out and took the explosives from her hand and asked, "Where did this come from?" How does this stuff work? ”
"This was meant to be just in case! Originally, it was intended to be used in case of an accident to blow up the walls of the tombway! I've always kept it close to me, and it's been needed from time to time! Ice looked at me and said, "You just have to twist the red knob to the right." You have ten seconds to escape, remember, you only have ten seconds. In addition, you can rest assured that this explosive has been treated with a good waterproof treatment, and there is no problem with underwater blasting! ”
"Hmm!" I looked at the two of them and nodded, didn't say anything, turned my head to look at Zhang Chengyong, who was fighting fiercely, and then turned over and jumped into the lake.
The water in the lake is very cold, and it is bitterly cold.
The lake is very clear, clear to the bottom.
I took the C4 explosive in my mouth and dived all the way to the bottom.
Although the Lake of Asking Heart is a lake, it is so deep that it can reach a vertical depth of twenty or thirty meters. And the snake vine on the other side grew ruggedly and meanderingly, and countless branches and vines were like demonic tentacles, flashing with alluring golden light.
Compared to the snake-like vines on the shore, the snake vines here seem to be still dormant. They each hung their heads down, intertwined with their roots, and their ends were connected, like old tree roots buried in the soil, without any life.
However, as I swam close to the glittering golden area, I couldn't help but froze, and if I hadn't been in the water, I might have screamed.
Because at this time, there are tens of thousands of dead people's bones in this area. One by one, they were entwined by the golden snake vines, like low-hanging willow leaves, fluttering with the waves.
Their expressions were pained and helpless, terrifying and terrifying, their clothes had long since been corroded by the soaking of the lake, and their skin had been reduced by the erosion of time, leaving only the white bones.
I don't know what they've been through, but I can still see fear and despair in their hollow eyes.
I steadied myself and tried to calm myself down.
Although I am not afraid of the dead, I still can't help but feel a little hairy when I see so many bones at the same time.
I wanted to go up and breathe a sigh of relief, but at this moment, I suddenly felt that someone was tapping me on the shoulder.
"Who?" I was shocked.
Who would shoot me in a place like this?
Is it Zhang Chengyong? Or ice?
Don't they worry that I'm going to follow?
I couldn't ask in the water, so I had to turn back, but when I looked back, what I saw was neither Zhang Chengyong nor ICE.
What I saw was a skeleton.
And the most incredible thing is that this skeleton is actually smiling at me.
