Chapter 21: The Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes
"There are only two forbidden places on the island, one is the secret room under the Divine Dragon Palace, which is the retreat place of the sect leader, and no one is allowed to enter except for the lady."
"There is also a Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, which was a dangerous place before the establishment of the Divine Dragon Sect, the cave is like a labyrinth, there are countless poisonous snakes, and so far only the Hong Sect Master has come out of it alive."
Yun Shibao's words became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the fat and thin head Tuo glanced at each other, and poured the beans to say everything he knew.
"After Hong Antong came out of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, did his cultivation skyrocket?" Hearing this, Yun Shibao asked.
"Yes! After coming out of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the sect master's cultivation skyrocketed, and in just three years, he broke through from the second-rate to the realm of the grandmaster! The fat head nodded and replied.
"Very good, here are 20,000 taels of silver tickets, take it and spend it, it's not enough to care about me!" Yun Shibao nodded with satisfaction, took out two silver tickets of 10,000 taels from his arms and threw them to the two.
Yun Shibao is now a second-generation official, and under the influence of the Duke's Palace, he naturally knows the truth of carrots and sticks.
After beating the stick, the next thing is naturally to give the carrots.
"Big brother, this little bastard doesn't want to enter the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, right?" After Yun Shibao left, Slender Toutuo said with some uncertainty.
"Hmph, who is to blame for looking for your own death? This money is to be regarded as a fee for the loss of our brother's reputation. Fat Tou sneered.
It's all so obvious, he's not a fool, how could he not know Yun Shibao's plans?
However, in Fat Toutuo's view, Yun Shibao's behavior is tantamount to looking for death, there are countless poisoned snakes in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the cave extends in all directions, the big hole is set with small holes, one ring after another, like a labyrinth, even if Hong Antong, who has reached the level of a grandmaster, is also nine deaths and one life after entering, not to mention Yun Shibao.
…
The Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is located in a valley deep in the depths of Shenlong Island, the valley is shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round, and the miasma will only dissipate when the Snake King absorbs the essence of the moon on the night of the fifteenth full moon, and if you want to enter the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, you can only wait for this time.
In the next few days, Yun Shibao except for occasionally going to Hong Antong and Su Quan to chat and communicate his feelings, he has been living in seclusion and hibernation.
Until the fifteenth full moon night, after Yun Shibao knocked out the maid who took care of his daily life, he stepped on light skills and went straight to the Ten Thousand Snake Cave in the depths of Shenlong Island.
The Ten Thousand Snakes Cave is located in a large concave valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is no vegetation in the valley except for strange rocks and dry bones, which looks extremely desolate.
As soon as he walked into the valley, a fishy sweet smell came to his nose, and Yun Shibao knew that this was the smell of miasma remaining in the valley, which was extremely poisonous.
Yun Shibao simply asked for some antidote pills from Su Quan before entering the valley and put them in his mouth, plus he himself had a super-first-class cultivation, and these residual miasma poisons had little effect on him.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, Yun Shibao suddenly stared, and he dodged under a stone not far away, and looked not far away with a pale face.
I saw a white python more than ten meters long hovering over a boulder 100 meters away, the snake's head looked up at the sky and the moon, and there was a sarcoma like a cockscomb on the top of its head, and its mouth opened and closed from time to time, as if it was swallowing something.
Around the giant python, countless colorful poisonous snakes were densely entangled, the small ones were only the length of a little finger, and the large ones were more than ten meters long, and the bowl mouth was thick, which made Yun Shibao, who had a slight dense phobia, faintly feel a little numb in his scalp.
"Whew... This beast is about to become a sperm, right? Yun Shibao gasped, staring at the white python hovering on the boulder, and began to retreat in his heart.
According to folk legends, the cockscomb on the head of snakes is a sign that they are about to turn into dragons when they have achieved success, and they should not be easily provoked.
Not to mention whether the rumors are credible or not, but Yun Shibao really felt a strong crisis from this white python, and he had a hunch that this white python was definitely more difficult to deal with than Hong Antong.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and you will fight!" After struggling for a moment, Yun Shibao quickly made up his mind.
Although even if he retreated, he could find other ways to get the Divine Dragon Blood Sutra from Hong Antong, but it would take too long, and Yun Shibao couldn't wait.
"Hiss..." Almost as soon as Yun Shibao made up his mind here, the white python over there felt hostility, and the person stood up, a pair of triangular eyes looked at him coldly, and his mouth hissed.
At the same time, as if they had received an order, the snakes swam towards Yun Shibao.
"It's not good, this beast's senses are too keen..."Looking at the boundless group of snakes, Yun Shibao scolded secretly, his internal force ran to the limit, his feet stomped on the ground, and his body rose into the air, like a nightingale, and swept towards the entrance of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.
Seeing Yun Shibao's movements, a trace of humanized mockery flashed in the white python's eyes, and with a flick of his tail, he actually smashed the boulder under him.
The next moment, with the help of the power of the shock, the beast's huge body rose into the air, and opened its mouth to bite Yun Shibao.
"I'll have a headache if you don't come." Yun Shibao's eyes lit up, his palm turned over, and a palm-sized porcelain bottle appeared in his hand, and the mouth of the bottle was downward, sprinkling a dark red powder.
Seeing this powder, the white python instinctively felt bad, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was in the air and had nowhere to borrow his strength, so he could only twist his body desperately, barely avoiding a large part of it.
Still, a small amount of the powder fell into its left eye.
"Zizi..."Like dripping water in an oil pot, the giant python's attack was stagnant, and after a tingling sound, the white python's left eyeball was corroded, leaving only a hole full of rotten flesh and blood.
"Corpse powder!" After Yun Shibao killed Hai Dafu, he naturally would not let go of this prop that has a very high appearance rate in the Deer and Ding Ji, kills people and sets fires, and is necessary for home travel.
I didn't expect it to be so useful at this time.
Ignoring the white python that kept rolling in pain, Yun Shibao pointed his toes on the white python, stepped lightly, and jumped into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave with his strength.
"Whew... Fortunately, there is nothing wrong, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. Yun Shibao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and exhaled a long breath.
Don't look at him just relaxed, like a leisurely step, but only he knows how dangerous it is just now, if the white python does not take off to intercept and give himself a point of borrowing, his light skills will be powerless.
The most direct result is to fall into the group of snakes, be besieged, and when the time comes, under the siege of countless poisonous snakes, let alone him, even Hong Antong will be dead.
It can be said that he was just gambling, betting that this beast would take off to intercept him.
If the corpse powder did not have the expected effect, in the face of a giant python comparable to the strength of the grandmaster, Yun Shibao would also be more than lucky.
Therefore, Yun Shibao was able to cross the group of snakes and enter the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave, which was quite a fluke, and now that he thought about it, he was still in a cold sweat, secretly blaming himself for being impulsive.
"No matter, I hope the harvest of this adventure will not disappoint me..."Glancing at the group of snakes rushing towards the entrance of the cave, Yun Shibao did not dare to hesitate at all, and hurriedly walked towards the depths of the cave.
