C16 Six-footed snake

Just as he was thinking, Xu Li dove back into the hole.

He had thought that this cave entrance was the way to Li Yuan and the big guy's place, but it turned out to be a hole in the cave, a hole filled with some unknown liquid. With one step in, he could see that his mouth was full of this viscous liquid, overflowing through his nose and mouth and choking into his throat.

Smelling this, Xu Li felt like vomiting, but he was still trapped inside. His feet couldn't reach the bottom, and his vision was turning black.

In her memory, it was not the first time that she had been submerged by water. Long ago, it was as if she had fallen into water somewhere, and the cold water had choked her lungs and made her unable to breathe. She was surrounded by pebbles at the bottom of the water.

It wasn't clear if this mucus was slightly poisonous or not, but in the few seconds when Xu Li submerged into the pit, his hands and feet actually started to feel numb. He couldn't muster up any strength.

In the midst of lightning and fire, a scene suddenly flashed in front of Xu Li's eyes.

She was buried under the rice, with a hollow reed in her mouth. She was short of breath, but in that situation, she had no choice but to be restrained, unable to move. If she moved even a bit, she would be discovered.

His mother's screams sounded out alongside his father's screams. Soon after, warm liquid began to flow from the top of his head, staining the entire jar of glutinous rice red. It was as if she was in a sea of blood.

"Leave, live, you must live!"

This was the only message her parents had given her that day. Leave me, leave me. If you want to live, only by living will I have a chance at the Thirteen Needles of Ghastly Gate.

Xu Li suddenly straightened his body and stretched out his hand from the mucus. After grabbing a few times, he caught a stone that was not completely smooth and swam out of the water.

She returned to the nest where the eggs were laid. The little snakes were scattered on the straw. Xu Li felt disgusted and started to vomit.

However, she had seen a lot of disgusting things, so she got used to it. She spat a few times, wiped her mouth, and walked towards another hole.

However, the smell of urine still made her feel uncomfortable.

This cave entrance was a bit similar to the one she had left when she came here. It was very low, very depressing, and even slightly rough breathing could be amplified without limit. Xu Li waved his needle bag and looked a little further ahead, discovering that the end was much longer than she had imagined.

Xu Li stopped where he was to rest. The sticky stuff on his body was a little dry, and it felt like there was a thin layer of film covering his face, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

Xu Li let out a sigh. He had thought about this for a long time, but still faced Li Yuan in his heart. There was no way to just leave him and go home.

After crawling for a few more minutes, Xu Li felt a familiar mucus that was exactly the same as the smell on her body. He thought to himself, "This is the end."

From the looks of it, there was light outside the cave. Although it wasn't too big, it was able to light up this area, so Xu Li increased his speed a few steps, but before he could climb out of the cave, that familiar scream suddenly sounded in front of him. It was really too dim around them.

Xu Li wasn't prepared. Now that he was obviously not as fast as his opponent, he could only try his best to crawl forward and slip out of the hole.

Looking back, all he could see was a black snake tail disappearing into the hole. This time, he actually saw Li Yuan, who was following closely behind the creature. Although he didn't see Li Yuan's face, Xu Li remembered the color of his shoes and saw it immediately.

Li Yuan disappeared into the cave as well. It was as if the mucus that had been blocking Xu Li's path for so long had now become smooth and did not slip at all under his feet.

Xu Li rubbed his head as he howled in his heart. So she had finally found Li Yuan. With just a glance, she had disappeared again?

However, there was a little thing shining hanging above his head. Xu Li examined it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was. In any case, it was a height he would never reach, so he decided to just do it.

It was so disgusting that Xu Li felt goosebumps all over his body. He took a final look at where Li Yuan had disappeared to. This man was very powerful, so it was obvious that he had beaten that creature to escape.

As Xu Li thought this, he lifted his foot and walked out of the square formation. Just as he was about to return to the land and take the last step of the thirty-six steps, a bloody chunk of flesh suddenly charged out diagonally and landed on her shoulder, causing her to stagger. The place where her right foot should have landed turned in the opposite direction.

What a waste of time! He had taken dozens of steps in vain.

When a person's luck was low, even drinking water would cause them to grit their teeth. The piece of flesh that originally smashed into her body suddenly transformed into countless little serpents with six horns. They opened their mouths wide and bit towards Xu Li's pants.

Xu Li's heart tightened and he took a step back. Luckily, she had been training her reflexes. The more dangerous she was, the faster she would react.

"Run to the right, don't get bitten, it's poisonous."

Li Yuan's voice came from the left, holding a folding fan. The bloody scene added a bit of scholarly air to it.

Xu Li rolled his eyes. He didn't know why, but she just felt like she wasn't on good terms with Li Yuan, but he didn't know exactly where he had offended her. In short, she felt like he had offended everything.

However, she could not joke around at this moment of life and death. She did not hesitate and took a big step to the left and started running around the edge of the field.

Li Yuan could still be seen in the light. He kept holding the snake in his hand, and the snake with the broken tail was roaring exaggeratedly. It even had an uncomfortable sound coming from its throat as it glared at Li Yuan viciously, wishing that it could eat him alive.

The little snakes chasing Xu Li didn't seem to know how to turn and all needed to circle around her for a long time before they could come over. Before Li Yuan came, he must have done his homework, so Xu Li's running speed slowed down and he still had time to observe Li Yuan's spell.

At least this way, he could get a rough idea of which faction Li Yuan belonged to.
