Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Black Snake

"Sure enough, it came before my expected time limit for death, huh...... You're pretty reliable. The advisor saw the three of them appear in the giant room, and he said something that sounded like a compliment.

"While you're resting here, we're desperately trying to deal with all kinds of traps and rush here. The gunsmith complained that he and Sueside were looking rather embarrassed, and after leaving the core room, they had gone through three more trap rooms with high defensive levels in a row, all of which were as dangerous as the flea guard, and it was really difficult to deal with them in a time-critical situation.

Vanessa's expression looked a little disappointed, the advisor was about to say something important, but was interrupted by the arrival of rescuers.

However, apart from the advisor, none of the other three noticed the subtle changes in Vanessa's face. At this moment, Dark Water had already walked to the corner of this huge room alone, ready to press the next teleportation sigil.

"There wasn't much time to stop and talk before you escaped. "When the temperature drops below freezing, your body will be in various conditions due to the cold, and you will have to go through seven rooms to escape, so I recommend that you concentrate on dealing with teleportation and traps." ”

............

"Run, do you hear me!Leave me alone!Get out of here!Run as far away as possible!Now!" shouted Count Boge, in a hoarse voice, toward the entrance above the great chamber.

The two retinues who remained above the passage did not yet know what was going on, but when they heard the Count in the ruins give orders with a roar that bordered on despair and pleading, they understood that it was not a joke. The two hesitated slightly, exchanged a few words, and decided to follow the Count's instructions. They picked up their torches, turned around and ran up the passage.

Tian Zang had expected that once teleported to the huge chamber at the entrance, the Count would definitely make such a move.

After each teleportation, before the green light had completely faded, the Count couldn't wait to endure the dazzling light, opened his eyes a slit, and observed the surrounding situation, just to confirm whether he had arrived at the original giant chamber at the first time, so as to inform the two surviving retinues to leave.

"Should I say that you are affectionate, or stubborn. Tianyi didn't pay any attention to the two of them, he casually took out the snake flute from his clothes, held it flat on his palm, and began to chant obscure incantations again.

After reciting, he put the snake flute to his mouth and blew it, and with the strange melody sounding, a black shadow loomed on the ground in front of Tianyi, and gradually, the shadow turned into an entity, turning into a black giant snake with a body as thick as the trunk of a small tree.

When the black serpent materialized, the Count was surprised to find that the monster's body was like magma, bubbling black gas, corroding everything it touched.

As if it had just woken up from its slumber, the serpent raised its head, arched its body, and surveyed its surroundings for a moment, before suddenly scurrying towards the corpses of its attendants.

The Count had expected to see the cruelty of the serpent devouring the corpse, but he had miscalculated it again, because it was a different thing from a normal snake, it was definitely a monster that could only be seen in nightmares.

When the giant snake crawled to the side of the corpses of its attendants, its thick body suddenly cracked countless large openings, as if its pitch-black snake body was covered with patterns in a second. But if you look closely, those are not wounds, but "mouths", mouths that resemble human beings.

It crawled next to the corpses of its followers, and the place where its snake body passed, like lava flowing, emitted bursts of black gas, the black metal of this ruin was very solid, and it was not damaged at all, but the clothes, corpses, torches, ropes, and wooden boxes of those followers would be corroded as long as they were touched.

The "human mouths" on the snake's body are constantly biting and chewing, and they continue to flow out of black viscous liquid, which turns into black gas and rises after dripping, making people feel that their stomachs are churning and vomiting.

After two minutes, there was nothing left in this room except for Tianyi and the earl. The Count of Beauge could not tell whether the corpses had been swallowed by the snake with its own mouth, swallowed by the dense mouths of the snake, or simply corroded......

"It must have been a nightmare...... God, please forgive me and wake me up. The Count gritted his fist and wrinkled his eyebrows in prayer.

At this moment, the black serpent swallowed the corpses of those attendants, turned its head, pressed against the ground, twisted its body, and slowly swam towards the earl.

If one can choose how they want to die, being killed by this snake is definitely one of the worst options.

"This is the nightmare, Monsieur Earl. As soon as the day stood between the Count and the Black Serpent, the Serpent immediately stopped and hibernated.

Tianyi continued: "Life is a dream that cannot be woken up, and death is the only way to get rid of this dream. There are people in this world who have nightmares, some people who have sweet dreams, and most people want to base their dreams on the nightmares of others, and occupy the 'moral' high ground that they set and imagine for peace of mind. He held the snake flute and shook it from side to side in front of the eyes of the black serpent, as if teasing a cute pet: "Two more snacks for you." Tianyi pointed to it: "Go quickly, or they will escape." ”

As if he understood, the snake lifted its head and flew straight up. It turns out that this thing doesn't need to climb at all, it can float up and fly in the air.

In the eyes of people in the Middle Ages, anything that could fly in the sky without wings was only ghosts and gods.

The Earl was no exception: "Is this monster digging the tunnel for you?" His tone and demeanor can be described as lost soul, the Count was already disheartened at this moment, and when he saw the black snake flying, he already knew in his heart that the two attendants would not escape death after all.

"Of course not. Tianyi replied: "It is its mother who dug the tunnel, and in exchange, I will feed this child with some flesh and blood." ”

"Huh...... Hehe...... You call this monster a child...... "The Count didn't know why he laughed, probably because a string in his head had broken.

"There were eight of these snakes in ancient times, and they were called Divine Pillars in some civilizations, and in others they were regarded as monsters that destroyed the world. Tianyi said: "Originally, I didn't pay much attention to them, but then I found that these guys eat too much, and one adult is enough to eat all the creatures on a huge territory, and completely corrode the buildings of those creatures, and finally leave a scorched earth to death."

So, I got someone to work with me and slay the seven serpents, leaving one of them and its children sealed in the snake flute in my hand. Of course, these two snakes have been made impossible for me to stay in this world for long, and now they must return to the snake flute if they are to survive. ”

At the same time, in the passage, the two attendants were quickly caught up by the black snake. As the saying goes: Autobots can't outrun the Decepticons, and parachutes are faster than Eleven.

After all, flying and running are two different concepts, not to mention that this is still climbing.

The two men were not very determined, on the one hand, they were still a little worried about the Count's comfort, and on the other hand, they did not see the danger with their own eyes, and did not know what they were running away.

Suddenly, a giant black snake silently burst out of the darkness behind them and eliminated one of them in one bite.

The rest of the guy only felt that he had caught a glimpse of something, and he instinctively turned his head to see that the upper half of his companion's body was gone, and the two legs that were exposed outside the mouth of the snake were still kicking wildly.

The giant serpent was pitch black, as thick as a tree, and its whole body was covered with human mouths, floating in the air......

The last survivor's face turned pale with fright, and his brain was completely short-circuited in fright, and he couldn't even scream. But...... After stumbling a few steps, this guy actually stabilized the lower plate, stood abruptly, and the adrenal hormones were secreted like an explosion, and the survival instinct overcame all the negative influences and took control of his body.

I saw him throw the torch in the face of the snake, turn around, step out, and run wildly. Leaving the light source, it was soon pitch black around him, but he could still see, and even he didn't know why, of course, he didn't think about it at the time.

When a person encounters extreme fear, the amygdala in the brain responds by freezing the ongoing but unimportant muscle activity, causing the body to run faster, to be highly tense, to have a faster heartbeat, to increase blood pressure, and to release about thirty different hormones that prepare the body to deal with the threat. At the same time, in order to focus on the source of fear, people's vision and hearing will improve in a short period of time, and the brain drives the body to see, hear, and quickly calculate how to respond to the source of fear.

This whole process only takes about two seconds in total, and before the fear subsides, the brain will help the person make a decision to "fight" or "flee".

At this moment, the last survivor apparently chose to flee. I think anyone who is still sane will run when they see such a monster, and unless you're a horror movie protagonist or an action movie superstar, it's best not to get along with a monster alone.

This benevolent brother was not so frightened that he died of a myocardial infarction on the spot, nor did he sit on the ground with his legs limp and wait for death. On the contrary, this thing is like opening the first stage of the genetic lock in an instant, exerting its physical fitness beyond its ordinary ability, running wildly in the dark all the way, and actually escaping far away.
