Chapter 126: The Good Traveler Drowns
An Rongyue's huddled snake body quickly unfolded and swam towards the high platform on our side, and the huge snake tail was vigorously raised and swept over, and the stones on the high platform were suddenly shattered and splashed everywhere like flying sand and stones.
"Jump!" The prince yelled and couldn't help but say, pushing me and Han Yu down.
Below is the blood stream stained red by blood, fortunately, the water is quite deep, Han Yu and I fell into it, except for some bruises on our bodies, there was no major problem, and the prince also jumped down at the moment when the snake's tail attacked.
Looking up, the place where we were standing just now turned into ruins in an instant, and the stones could be shattered by her body, if it hit a person, the consequences would be unimaginable, An Rongyue did not give us a chance to breathe, and saw that the huge body that missed the blow swam over with great agility, and the two crossbows in his hands quickly fired poisoned arrows at us.
"Take Han Yu to find a place to hide first!"
The prince was engrossed in vigilance and said loudly to me, Han Yu was injured in his leg and had difficulty moving, and we were stuck in the water and moved slowly, just becoming the target of An Rongyue, the prince jumped out of the blood stream, and soaked the clothes that he was going to use to save the woman in the water, and when he lifted it, the prince's wrist rotated, and the wet clothes quickly twisted into a tough stick in his hand.
The poisonous arrows that flew were shot down by the prince one after another, and I helped Han Yu to leave with a small step from the water, limping and running to the low-lying depths, facing an impeccable perfect killing machine like An Rongyue in this open place is undoubtedly to send him to death.
The prince also knew that An Rongyue had a strong hypnotic ability, and avoided An Rongyue's gaze from beginning to end, but in this way, he couldn't pay attention to An Rongyue's every move, and the prince fought and retreated to cover me and Han Yu to escape to the depths of the intricate stone pillar labyrinth.
An Rongyue was furious when he saw that the poisonous arrows were shot down by the prince, moving a huge snake body and rushing towards the prince desperately, those stone pillars were smashed one after another, the prince did not dare to face the enemy head-on, and used the stick in his hand to pick up the poisonous arrows inserted into the ground and shoot at An Rongyue, An Rongyue should also be afraid of the venom smeared by the arrow, dodging left and right to dodge the snake tail to resist the movement gradually slowed down, the prince turned around and saw that Han Yu and I were temporarily safe, took a step back and took a steady step, stepped back and suddenly stepped on the ground, and the whole person jumped up with strength, With a roar, the stick in both hands was as heavy as Mount Tai's weight, and the stick fell from the sky and sank vigorously on the ground.
The gravel on the ground was shaken up, but think about how powerful the prince's stick was, the prince turned around with the stick and turned back to look at the moon and hit the flying gravel to An Rongyue, these gravel formed a barrage like a heavenly maiden scattered flowers, and the pear blossom rainstorm shot An Rongyue so much, she wanted to put the prince to death and rushed forward desperately, and suddenly encountered so many gravel attacks An Rongyue estimated that he didn't expect the prince to be able to break the cauldron and sink the boat's counterattack, and for a while he was in a hurry to put up a snake tail to resist.
There are too many gravels that can be hit, even if An Rongyue can shoot down some, most of them hit her body with great force, and in an instant, An Rongyue's snake body was covered with bruises, An Rongyue looked up to the sky and howled in pain, twisting the huge snake body and rampage, and the stone pillars around her were torn apart by the impact.
Seeing this, the prince did not leave An Rongyue a chance to breathe, stepped on the broken stone pillar, and the whole person jumped high like a divine soldier descending from the sky, holding a stick in both hands and hitting An Rongyue's head with a move Mount Tai pressed hard, An Rongyue was shocked and curled up the snake body in front of him, and the stick hit An Rongyue's snake steadily.
A miserable scream came from An Rongyue's mouth and echoed in the low depression for a long time, Han Yu and I hid behind the stone pillar and watched in horror, the power of the prince's stick is self-evident, if it weren't for An Rongyue's snake body to resist, it is estimated that it would have been a brain burst now, An Rongyue was in severe pain, and the huge body twitched and rolled, and suddenly the stone pillars around her collapsed, and the glass embedded in it fell to the ground, shattered and scattered all over the ground.
Although the prince hit An Rongyue, but I am the same, he also knows very well that if he can't kill with one blow, even the injured An Rongyue is still full of fatal danger, the stone pillars shattered by An Rongyue splashed everywhere The prince dodged with all his might, and suddenly An Rongyue's huge snake tail swept over like a shadow, the prince was shocked and held a stick in front of his chest to resist, although the prince was powerful, but he was forced to carry An Rongyue's powerful giant snake swing tail, how could he withstand it, and the stick twisted into the clothes soaked in water was as solid as a rock in the prince's hands, Although it can dissolve part of the huge impact of the snake's tail, it can be hard against the hard prince is obviously at a disadvantage, his clothes were beaten in two, and the snake's tail hit the prince's chest heavily, he couldn't dodge, and the whole person was shocked out and hit the stone pillar where we were hiding.
The prince struggled to get up and half-knelt on the ground, one hand covered his chest and the other hand was supported on the ground, his face was pale and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, it seemed that the prince was not lightly injured, I quickly settled Han Yu helped him to the back of the stone pillar.
The prince gasped and wiped a handful of blood from the corners of his mouth, now it has become difficult to even stand, he has tried his best to fight with all his strength, but after all, it was in vain, I poked my head out to observe An Rongyue's movements, the place where the prince and her fought just now was in a mess, but An Rongyue disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
If I am not mistaken, An Rongyue has the same self-repair and regeneration functions as Qi Chu and the human centipede, presumably the prince's counterattack just now made An Rongyue also covered in bruises, especially the earth-shattering stick that hit her snake steadily, Han Yu and I witnessed An Rongyue's behemoth-like body collapse with our own eyes, presumably most of the muscles and bones of the snake's body were broken, and she was hiding and waiting for the wound to heal.
The terrain here is extremely favorable for An Rongyue with the body of a snake, she can easily wrap around the tops of these huge stone pillars, and it is difficult to find her in the dark light here, she can wait until the wound heals before waiting for the opportunity to move.
I signaled the crown prince and Han Yu not to make any slight noise, so as not to reveal our location, An Rongyue can slowly approach us quietly and silently, once a surprise attack is launched, Han Yu and the prince are already seriously injured, I am afraid that they are powerless to resist.
The prince suddenly glanced at us, pointed to the top of our heads, Han Yu and I looked at the mirrors embedded in the stone pillars, a slowly wriggling snake body appeared, there were too many mirrors here, each mirror was full of the same image, just like countless giant snakes around the top of our heads, looking at my scalp numbness and weak legs and feet.
The snake shadow in these mirrors shows that An Rongyue is hiding somewhere above our heads now, she should also be looking for our traces in the dark low-lying area, we are nervous and focused, raising our heads vigilantly to pay attention to the movement around our heads, it is completely dark above, I think even if An Rongyue is now looking at us with a fierce light above our heads, it will be difficult for the three of us to notice.
Suddenly, the snake body in those mirrors was shrinking, and the whole body was entangled, and then An Rongyue's terrifying face appeared in the mirror again, countless cold faces, their eyes were full of murderous anger, and they looked down condescendingly, we hid under the stone pillars, looked at those mirrors, and felt that An Rongyue was everywhere, as if she had discovered us, and her eyes were staring at us.
"Don't look her eyes!" I suddenly realized that An Rongyue knew that we could see her in the mirror, and wanted to hypnotize us by passing her eyes.
The crown prince and Han Yu hurriedly lowered their heads, but this was like giving up their guard, even if An Rongyue appeared above us now, we wouldn't notice it.
"Listen! Listen to the sound of water droplets...... "An Rongyue's voice rang out through the dark, damp air. "One drop, two drops, three drops......"
An Rongyue's voice was low and slow, echoing in the low-lying area through endless killing, this low-lying area was surrounded by a stream formed by the water dripping from the mountain wall, but the water flowed extremely slowly, like a smooth and shining water mirror, and the sound of the dead and silent underground water dripping on the water surface was clear to everyone.
I couldn't help but look at the blood-stained stream not far from me, and slowly my thoughts became a little chaotic and blurry, as if I was controlled by An Rongyue, the corners of my mouth slowly squirmed, and I followed her voice and stared intently at the water droplets and began to count.
One drop, two drops, three drops......
Suddenly a tingling pain in my chest made me wake up suddenly, and when I looked down, I saw the prince with one hand folded and reading something in his mouth, while cutting my chest with the gravel he picked up, the pain made me sober, and I realized that An Rongyue was using rhythmic droplets of water to hypnotize us, and the prince's heart was like stopping water, An Rongyue's hypnotism also made him uncertain, and his mouth should be chanting to calm down.
I didn't see Han Yu react for a long time, and when I turned my head, I found that his eyes were a little cloudy and sluggish, staring at the ripples of water droplets falling down in the blood stream, and his mouth was also squirming, I was shocked that Han Yu's consciousness was about to be controlled by An Rongyue, she should not be able to find us for the time being, and wanted to use hypnosis to make us kill each other.
I pressed on the wound on Han Yu's leg, Han Yu was stimulated by the severe pain, and his body twitched suddenly, I then pressed on his mouth, Han Yu whimpered, his eyes gradually became clear, I put my finger to my mouth and signaled him to hold back.
Han Yu looked around blankly, I don't think he can remember what happened just now, but An Rongyue's voice has been constantly echoing around us, we can rely on pain to make ourselves sober, but after all, it is not a long-term solution, and it will be exhausted after all, and sooner or later it will be slaughtered by An Rongyue.
"Can you still move?" Han Yu should also be aware of the current danger, so he asked the prince with difficulty.
"Yes!" The prince put down his hand and replied calmly.
"I can't go on like this, I can't move, so let me attract An Rongyue's attention." Han Yu said as he bandaged the wound on his leg tightly, and said sternly. "I'll buy you time and a chance, and now only you can kill this monster."
The crown prince and I looked at Han Yu without saying a word, of course we understood that his current condition and injuries were impossible to get out of the way after attracting An Rongyue to find out, once he was exposed to An Rongyue, he would definitely die, Han Yu planned to use his life to fight for our chance to survive, and looking at his expression, he was so righteous.
"I'll go!" The prince said with a nail in the coffin.
"Do you see that I still killed An Rongyue like this?" Han Yu said with a fearless smile on the corner of his mouth, not caring at all. "It's better for one person to have something to do than for all three of us to be trapped here."
Han Yu glanced at me after speaking, patted me lightly on the shoulder and smiled faintly.
"Remember! Be sure to save Yun Duruo and Nangong Yi! ”
I don't think anyone can change what Han Yu decides, and I didn't even try to stop him, because sometimes friends don't have to say much about each other, and friends who can trust life and death will do anything for you.
At the moment when Han Yu struggled to stand up, I dragged him down.
"I'll go!"
The crown prince and Han Yu looked at me in surprise, of course I understood the doubts in their eyes, after all, I was in front of An Rongyue that was the real mortality, but from the beginning of knowing them, it seemed that all the dangers were being resisted by them, I would always be the one standing behind them, and I also wanted to do something for them today.
I didn't wait for Han Yu and the crown prince to react, I had already stood up resolutely, took a step forward and turned back to say to them.
"Remember! An Rongyue's only weakness is the same as Qi Chu's, to kill her, you have to cut off her head! ”
"Tolerant ......"
Behind me were the panicked and anxious cries of the crown prince and Han Yu, but I didn't pay attention to taking a deep breath and walking into the darkness ahead.
"An Rongyue!" I shouted, and the faces of An Rongyue embedded in the stone pillar mirror above my head disappeared immediately, she should have judged my position.
"You think you can control anyone with your hypnotism, and I dare to look you in the eye, because you can't hypnotize me, and that's all you can do." I accentuated my voice and said loudly as I turned my body.
My voice answered very clearly in the low lying, I don't know where An Rongyue will appear from, or even what kind of way she will deal with me, but one thing is clear to me, I am really scared now, real fear is unpredictable danger, you are always in a panic and waiting, just like me now.
I stopped suddenly, my Adam's apple squirmed involuntarily, I licked my dry lips, because I heard the sound of rustling behind me, it was the sound of snake scales rubbing and wriggling, of course I knew what was behind me, I twitched the corners of my mouth and slowly turned away.
An Rongyue's huge snake body was wrapped around the stone pillar, her cold face looked at me expressionlessly, the huge snake tail slowly swimming behind me, and the repeater she held in both hands was aimed at my body.
"You can't hypnotize me." I wiped my face, what I feared most was snakes, I never thought I could laugh in front of such a huge monster with a human head and a snake body.
An Rongyue hesitated for a moment, the repeater in his hand slowly lowered, and the snake tail that swam behind me suddenly wrapped around my body, wrapping me in a circle, with the contraction of the snake body I felt that the bones in my body were going to be broken, and even breathing began to become difficult, I desperately wanted to push away the snake body that was wrapped around me with my hand, but compared to An Rongyue's infinitely powerful snake body, my resistance was completely futile.
An Rongyue wrapped me around the snake body and slowly lifted me up from the ground, the wriggling body made me creepy and sick, until An Rongyue put me in front of her, and she stared at me with a confident and eerie gaze.
"I want you to dig out your heart in front of me, and I want to watch you struggle helplessly and helplessly before my eyes until death!"
"You...... Are you hypnotic...... No...... I! I repeated the phrase as hard as I could.
An Rongyue was obviously provoked by me, as long as she used a little more force, I would have a whole body fracture because I couldn't withstand the pressure of the snake's body, it was too easy and easy for her to kill me, but An Rongyue didn't seem to plan to do this, and put me closer to her.
"Look me in the eye!" An Rongyue said angrily.
I gritted my teeth and endured the sharp pain of the squeezing bones in my body, staring straight at An Rongyue's eyes, she suddenly closed her eyes, I knew that she was planning to hypnotize me, but when An Rongyue opened her eyes again, I quickly picked up the mirror that had been hidden in the palm of my hand, which was broken from the stone pillar when An Rongyue was fighting with the prince before.
An Rongyue can pass on her hypnotism through her eyes, my provocation fell in her eyes and became the biggest insult, she must have tried her best to control me, but what she saw was herself in the mirror, An Rongyue didn't expect it but the whole person was suddenly stunned after looking directly at herself in the mirror.
I have never questioned An Rongyue's ability to hypnosis, people who really take hypnotism to the extreme, can not only hypnotize others but also hypnotize themselves, I think An Rongyue must also have such an ability, not to mention that she originally intended to inflict the most severe punishment on me who provoked me, but these hypnotics were all used on herself.
An Rongyue looked at herself in the mirror and was stunned for a moment, the snake body wrapped around me suddenly loosened and I fell to the ground from it, and An Rongyue was dazed and sluggish, and her entire huge body also fell from the stone pillar, this is because An Rongyue hypnotized herself, and she can no longer control the body of the giant snake in an unconscious state.
That brief moment of confusion I think was enough for the crown prince and Han Yu, they rushed out of the hiding stone pillar left and right, holding the poisoned arrow shot down by An Rongyue in their hands, the two of them inserted the poisoned arrow from the top of An Rongyue's head almost at the same time, An Rongyue screamed too late, Han Yu pulled out the poisoned arrow and quickly cut off An Rongyue's head with a sharp blade.
An Rongyue, who had lost her head, writhed the behemoth-like snake body in a painful struggle, blood sprayed out from the severed neck, the prince pulled me and Han Yu back quickly, and the huge body smashed all the stone pillars around it in the struggle, and then the whole body collapsed heavily to the end and convulsed a few times before moving again.
Han Yu was still holding An Rongyue's head in his hand, glanced at it and threw it aside, and collapsed against the stone pillar and collapsed to the ground.
"Why are you so sure that An Rongyue can't help but kill you in other ways?" Han Yu glanced at me and asked with a feeble smile.
"Good travelers drown." The prince looked at An Rongyue's corpse and said coldly.
"She wouldn't kill me in any other way, because An Rongyue is a psychotic lunatic." I moved for a moment, feeling the bones in my body shatter, and replied with a grin. "And she is still a perfectionist, even if she is transformed into a monster with the body of a snake by Xu Wanjun, her thinking and habits have not changed, she will pursue perfection in everything, how can she accept a person who provokes and questions her hypnotic ability."
