Chapter 113 Underwater Maze (4)
Chapter 113 Underwater Maze (4)
"Your father chose to practice this magic to help his friend overcome the calamity, but because of this magic, he was suspected and feared by the Red Snake..." Mu Hanxing said slowly, "Forget it, after all, if the Red Snake really regarded your father as a brother, how could it be so easily suspicious? The long river of history is long, and the survival of the fittest is the law of nature. No matter what world, nature will always eliminate some creatures that cannot "survive", whether they are physically inferior or bad in nature. This is the way of heaven that should operate."
After saying this, Jingchen and Long Jin were stunned at the same time, their eyes fixed on her.
She was so angry and overwhelmed with emotion that she couldn't help but talk more. She didn't notice the slight change in the two people's expressions and continued to talk to herself, "The Red Viper Clan is insidious and jealous. They can only live in the river silt without seeing the sun for their entire lives. I'm afraid this is a punishment from heaven. If that day, the Red Viper chose to trust his friends and insisted on going through the 49 days of sunshine and endured the pain, maybe starting from his generation, he could have completely changed the physique and fate of their Red Viper Clan."
Jing Chen and Long Jin were still staring at her without saying anything. Only then did Mu Hanxing suddenly realize that OOC was really... too fucking serious!
She pretended to be deep and wise, and said calmly: "Fortunately, Gong Yu talked to me about the Heavenly Dao before. I chatted with him all day and benefited a lot."
It’s great to know Minister Gong Yu, who is allowed to keep talking nonsense without taking any responsibility.
She coughed lightly and said quickly, "Now we know more or less the history of the Red Snake Tribe. Let's move on without further ado."
She was so excited about digging out the snake's nest that she even forgot the pain in her shoulder.
The two men looked at her, each with different thoughts in their mind, but with the overall situation at hand and government affairs at the top priority, they had no time to think about anything else.
So, the two of them said seriously, "Let's go."
The structural logic of the circular tower is to walk from top to bottom. The topmost empty layer used for painting murals has a hole leading downwards. There are no stairs designed for humans to walk on under the hole, but instead, it is designed to be a staggered slope for snakes to crawl. This kind of underwater tower is also a design she has never seen before. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that it was impossible for the Red Viper Clan to build such a tower on their own.
Not to mention the Feng Shui structure, just building this spectacular underwater tower would require a lot of money. No matter how powerful the monsters and gods are, they cannot possibly understand the way of business. People like Jingchen are probably an exception, and it is also because he might have been a profiteer before he became a god. Of course, this is just her guess.
Having said that, this Master Tong took advantage of the monopoly of the pearl fish catching business to make huge profits in Huajing, and used his various knowledge in Huajing, such as the candle extinguisher to deceive the people of Huaiyu Town, making them think that the Dragon King was angry, so that he could continue to sell the Tong family's useless open flame candles and continue to squeeze the people's money.
After she finished cleaning out the snake's nest, she went to clean up Tong's house.
The three of them jumped to the next level along the winding slope in just a few steps. As soon as they reached this level, they smelled a foul odor. The visibility of the lighting beads was not very high. When they jumped to the bottom of the slope, they could not see anything around their feet. They only vaguely saw some milky white sticky liquid stuck to the corner of the wall nearby.
Mu Hanxing walked forward a few steps, and the two followed. The illuminating bead moved forward with Long Jin. The expressions of the three people changed slightly, and the light quickly reflected to the front. They saw a layer of snake eggs stuck together and slowly wriggling!
As the sticky snake eggs of all sizes were wriggling all over the room, a numbing wriggling sound came to his ears, and the ground was covered with all kinds of mucus, which made Mu Hanxing suddenly feel nauseous and vomit.
She forced herself to hold back the disgusting smell and sound, and took a step forward to find the passage down. At this time, Jing Chen behind her said cautiously: "Be careful, there is something strange about this snake egg."
Mu Hanxing paused and looked at the snake egg closest to her. The snake egg was half as tall as a person, with an unknown white liquid hanging all over it. It looked extremely disgusting. There seemed to be some active creature inside that was jumping out, as if it was about to break out of the egg.
For some reason, she felt obsessed as she watched. Her eyes were fixed on the snake eggs and she was reluctant to leave. It was as if her curiosity was aroused. She insisted on staring at the snake eggs to see what was about to hatch. At this moment, there was a "bang" and the snake eggs burst. She was startled and when she stepped back, a melted, rotten face inside grabbed her and pulled her into the snake eggs!
The rotten face moved too fast, and she didn't have time to block with her sword. She was swallowed alive by the extremely sticky snake eggs!
The light in front of her eyes dimmed instantly, and when she opened her eyes again, she saw darkness all around, and the rotten face had disappeared without a trace. She picked up the sword and slashed around in the darkness, but found that nothing existed, as if she was isolated in another space by the snake eggs. Even the sound and smell just now suddenly disappeared. She was filled with fear in an instant. This fear was not from seeing something horrible, but from losing all her senses. She didn't know where she was, and she didn't know what would attack her.
She looked around in the darkness with the sword in her hand, her heart beating "boom" and "boom" non-stop. She was trying her best to calm herself down. If she lost her composure, she would fall into the enemy's trap. She had no idea what kind of magic the Red Viper Tribe would use, and even Long Jin couldn't explain it completely. Now she could only rely on herself.
The space inside this snake egg was too strange. It seemed to have completely deprived people of all their senses. She couldn't see, smell, or hear... For a cultivator, deprivation of the senses was equivalent to losing combat power. Even if someone stabbed her with a sword in the dark, she would be injured in the vitals because she couldn't hear any sound.
She felt that this was not good. Even Jing Chen and Long Jin behind her seemed as if they had never been here with her before. The surroundings were completely silent, dark and mysterious.
She tried her best to calm herself down and quickly calm down the panic. Then she sat down and began to concentrate her mind while chanting a Heart-Clearing Mantra. As for this Heart-Clearing Mantra, she had to thank Leng Feiren for it. At the beginning, he was afraid that her power would rise too fast, so he gave her books that contained basic spells that all inner and outer disciples of the Wenxin Sect knew. These were useless to her originally, but could be useful to her now. These books included this Heart-Clearing Mantra, which could help her concentrate for a short period of time, calm herself down, and avoid minor poisons.
She didn't know if it would work in this unclear situation, but it was still necessary for her to calm down.
