The bone-cold river water flows silently, and the bamboo rafts move smoothly.
Quietly.
hiss…
Hiss…
In the darkness, something seemed to be crawling and swimming.
They appear on walls and in rivers.
Countless pairs of empty eyes flashed with green light.
The strange thing imitated the human tone and kept shouting those two names.
The sound echoed in the not-so-wide cave, numb and hollow.
"Abandoning the light source in front of something like this is no different from committing suicide."
The young man curled his lips and whispered softly.
From just now, he extinguished the ring on his hand and walked through the darkness.
Unfortunately, species that live in underground rivers all year round will never rely on something as rare as light.
In addition to their powerful night vision, their sense of hearing and smell are also reliable.
So only Wang Jin and Da Paitou were affected.
The situation is not optimistic.
call--
The sound of wind sounded behind his ears. Wang Jin turned his sword and slashed out without hesitation.
He had practiced this move countless times and there was no way he could make any mistakes.
only…
Amidst the noisy calls, a familiar voice suddenly appeared.
There is a hint of exhaustion in the gentleness.
"Xiaojin, you haven't been home for a long time."
The young man's eyes widened and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Countless images flashed through his mind, and the movements of his hands became inaccurate as a result.
"hiss!"
The human-headed snake roared excitedly, opened its bloody mouth without hesitation, and bit Wang Jin's shoulder with a gust of fishy wind.
bite--
At the critical moment, the nail sword was raised, barely blocking the big mouth full of sharp teeth.
Tick tock.
The blood fell on the bamboo rafts, and the sweet smell made the snake even more excited.
His shoulder was scratched by sharp teeth, but Wang Jin still stood there with his sword in hand, his eyes expressionless.
He was still in a confused state, and waving his sword to block was an unconscious act.
"Survive" has long been Wang Jin's instinct.
"hiss…"
There were three or four neighing sounds in the darkness.
Pale heads emerged from the darkness at the same time, with a strange smile on their wet faces.
As the bamboo raft continued to advance, the human-headed snake no longer had only human heads.
The number of human parts on their bodies gradually increased, and some huge special individuals even had arms and claws.
The disgusting spliced flesh and weird human faces always make people feel disgusted and resistant from deep inside.
They twisted, slid on the water, and crawled on the rock walls.
Wang Jin looked dazed and seemed to be trying to regain consciousness.
Unfortunately, this takes time.
"hiss!"
The human-headed snake attacked without hesitation, its deformed arms and bloody mouth attacking Wang Jin at the same time.
The latter subconsciously swung his sword to block, but he couldn't guard against attacks from so many directions.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
A strong black shadow appeared out of thin air, and a bold straight punch bloomed in the darkness like a shooting star.
A continuous punch to the flesh.
Blood splattered everywhere and broken bones flew everywhere.
"Eula!"
After the last punch, Xiao Hei disappeared with a cry.
Not even a cool finishing move.
Xiao Hei hadn't fully recovered yet, so he had to endure a considerable amount of pain to carry out the attack.
So he returned to the Eye of the Ancient God again, wrapped in a towel and shivering.
"Thank you, little one."
After a period of trance, Wang Jin's eyes regained their clarity.
The human-headed snake itself is not very powerful in combat, but this call is indeed quite difficult.
Unlike the "Phantom of Yesterday" encountered in the feast scene, there are many individuals of the human-headed snakes, and they are quite united.
From the moment Wang Jin turned his head for the first time, these ghosts started singing a chorus.
Although Wang Jin can recognize most of the calls, there are always one or two voices that touch his heart.
For example, family members whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
Stay with them and give them a safe and comfortable life.
For this multiple-choice question, Wang Jin selfishly chose the latter.
From that day on, he felt a little more guilty.
Wang Jin would still think of these things when he was woken up by a fox at night.
So he got tricked.
Once your attention is attracted, you will fall into a trance-like state uncontrollably.
Human-headed snakes will take this opportunity to sneak out of the darkness, sometimes even in groups.
hiss…
A small roar sounded again, and the human-headed snake seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and planned to swarm up and attack.
Different from the previous two monsters, human-headed snakes are very large, and some individuals are even as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
These monsters are swarming up, and the bamboo raft will never be able to hold it back.
"Tsk, if there was light, I wouldn't be so passive."
The young man frowned, looked at the figure at the other end of the bamboo raft, and asked.
"Isn't it done yet?"
"Give me another ten seconds."
Da Paitou was shaking something in his hand and mumbling something.
Every Paitou is a master of miscellaneous arts, and the big Paitou is also very strong in partial arts.
So when he asked himself to destroy the light source, Wang Jin agreed without much hesitation.
"Ten seconds..."
The young man frowned and looked at the group of snakes slowly swimming out of the darkness.
They are about to launch a group attack.
sand…
The water surface rippled, and the snakes separated from it.
Revealing the petite figure hidden behind them.
The same snake tail, but with more human parts than other monsters.
From the crotch up, there is a naked young girl.
She has a slender waist and a standard oval face with almond eyes.
Her hair is wet and hanging on her shoulders, and her looming body makes people think.
Even though her whole body is strangely pale, she is still beautiful.
"leader?"
Wang Jin frowned and looked at the figure at the end of the snake group.
No emotion could be read in those hollow snake eyes, except...
hostility.
"No wonder it's so difficult. It turns out she's in charge."
The young man grinned and began to count down.
"ten."
"hiss…"
The girl with the snake body waved her hand, opened her cherry mouth, and revealed the sharp teeth all over it.
The human-headed snakes roared at the same time as if they had received some signal, and rushed towards Wang Jin without hesitation.
"seven."
Facing the group of snakes rushing towards him like a wave, Wang Jin slowly raised his nail sword.
There was a moment of silence, followed by the sweet notes of gold and iron.
A dense white sword light lit up in the darkness, accompanied by slashing and hissing sounds.
Noble swordsmanship.
Unlike the spearmanship that he had carefully learned, most of Wang Jin's skills in nailing swords came from Old Pete.
This ancient technique was only used by down-and-out nobles. It was used exclusively in duels in that era.
Because of this, its moves are more focused on blocking.
After all, you only have one life, so of course you must protect yourself before you deal with your opponent.
Because of this, the aristocratic swordsmanship is not very offensive.
So Wang Jin thought about it for a while and added small changes to the moves.
Instead of exerting a powerful explosive force, it saves part of the kinetic energy brought by the enemy and then exerts it in the opposite direction.
To put it simply...
Rebound.
To do this kind of thing requires strong enough wrist strength and terrifying concentration.
As it happened, Wang Jin was lacking in both.
The prerequisite for using Luo Chan is a strong enough wrist joint, and innate concentration is more than enough.
As a result, his sword moves changed from blocking to blocking and counterattacking.
Noble Swordsmanship: Return.
In a narrow terrain with one to many, it is normal to have some decoration.
This technique allows Wang Jin to protect himself airtight and at the same time kill and injure enemies.
"five."
The young man squinted his eyes and stared at the four or five deformed arms waving in front of him.
The nail sword is held in front of the body, leaning horizontally on the forearm of the left hand.
call--
One of the arms swung down and hit the blade of the sword hard as if it was agreed upon.
when!
There was a crisp impact sound, and the sword was slightly bent due to the impact.
The young man grinned and turned his wrist slightly.
The next second, the nail sword was thrown out like a trap that had already been stringed.
The other arms that fell later were either bounced away or cut off directly.
Whoosh!
The sword flashed.
The four heads rolled down at the same time, spilling blood into the underground river.
"ha."
Wang Jin grinned.
If he relied solely on his own strength, he would never be able to cut off four heads at the same time.
It was precisely because of the kinetic energy left by catching the attack for the first time that he could do this kind of attack.
Just like the name of the sword move.
Return the opponent's attack and murderous intent doubled.
"Four."
The young man squinted his eyes and looked past the crowd of snakes, looking at the expressionless girl.
The nailed sword in his hand kept bouncing, cutting off the mutilated and twisted bodies without hesitation.
Wang Jin is thinking.
He always felt that the human-headed snake was a little different from the previous ones.
These snakes are more numerous, smarter, tougher, and more human-like.
According to Da Paitou, these monsters appeared because of the Nanyang Master.
"Nanyang Master...what do they want to do?"
Wang Jin whispered softly.
"three."
bite--
The nailed sword swept across, but turned into a paradise banner in the air.
The flag roared past, sweeping away the snakes in front of him, leaving a vacuum in front of Wang Jin.
"come over!"
The flag was suddenly sent forward and penetrated directly through the waist of a human-headed snake.
This one has a large proportion of humans, with snakes starting from the chest down.
Wang Jin yanked back violently, and the nail sword passed through without hesitation.
Blood splattered everywhere, and the human-headed snake roared.
Seemingly feeling a bit noisy, Wang Jin chopped off the opponent's head with his backhand.
He was looking at the specific structure of these things.
Just like the monster before.
The connection between humans and snakes is not a rough seam, but rather it seems to be a natural connection.
Regardless of the proportion of humans, the joints are perfect biological structures.
It's extremely subtle, yet a little weird.
"Oh shit."
Wang Jin cursed in a low voice.
He had a bad guess.
If it's not made in the day after, it's formed in nature.
That is...deformity.
Only deformities can cause differences between individuals.
"What are these beasts doing experiments on..."
Wang Jin squinted at the human-headed snakes that kept coming in front of him, and felt some strange emotions in his heart.
Maybe the spiders and fish are defective, but these things...
Maybe it's a human.
It's just that the quantity isn't quite right.
There are at least dozens of them.
Wang Jin didn't think Master Nanyang could achieve his goal in just a few months after arriving here.
"Relieve yourself, it will be a good thing for you too."
The young man sighed and held the nailed sword in front of him again.
"two."
"hiss!"
Tears seemed to well up in the girl's eyes, but she still waved her hands vigorously, causing the human-headed snakes to rush towards Wang Jin.
"one."
Wang Jin sighed and took back the nail sword.
Turn around and leave.
"alright."
The voice of the platoon leader sounded.
He threw something away, and it looked like a jar.
But at this size, it's actually more like a jar.
Snap!
The jar was smashed against the rock wall and shattered, exposing the contents to the air.
Dots of faint blue light flicker in the underground river, illuminating everything like a dream.
As if they suddenly entered space, Wang Jin and Da Paitou rowed happily in the Milky Way.
If it weren't for those roaring human-headed snakes, this would be a pretty good picture.
Wang Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at the light spots carefully.
His strong powers of observation allowed him to see clearly the true face of that thing in no time.
So Wang Jin slowly turned his head and looked at Peng Hai.
"Moth?"
"Yeah, moth."
"I was temporarily hatching just now. These guys are very strange. They will only emerge when they feel danger."
Da Paotou nodded gently and stretched out his hand to rub the coir raincoat.
Wang Jin noticed that there was a faint powder on his hand, which glowed in the dark.
As the big platoon grinds away, the powder disappears.
"They are dangerous, so there can be no light source."
"Not even a little bit."
"Phototaxis of moths."
Wang Jin touched his chin and quickly understood the meaning of Da Paitou.
Da Paitou's raincoat and bamboo hat are all black, and Wang Jin is also wearing black short-sleeves and trousers.
The two of them stood on the bamboo raft, basically like two wet crows.
Compared with those pale human-headed snakes, they are obviously inconspicuous.
In addition, due to the special structure of the body, the snake's eyes with night vision will reflect light in the dark.
This causes those moths to rush towards the human-headed snake desperately.
"What can I do if I rush over? Can I bite someone?"
Wang Jin raised his eyebrows and looked carefully at the swaying fireflies.
"almost."
Peng Hai nodded lightly.
"This is a marrow-sucking moth. I encountered it when I was boating in the south."
"hiss…"
Wang Jin took a breath and looked carefully at the moths that landed on the human-headed snake.
These dangerous guys are big.
When the wings are spread out, they are almost the same size as Wang Jin's fist.
Light blue luminous powder will be scattered during flight, which is really beautiful.
People who don't know why may even think it's an elf on the phone, or something else.
Unfortunately, Wang Jin was witnessing the eating moment of this thing.
They stretched out their mouthparts and stabbed into the body of the human-headed snake.
Then the human-headed snake showed a terrifying expression that it had never seen before when facing Wang Jin, as if it had suffered great pain.
They wanted to get rid of those moths, so they crashed into the rock wall crazily, rubbing themselves to pieces.
But this didn't alleviate anything.
The deadly killing intent is injected into the body the moment the mouthparts prick it, and it will continue to work even if the moth dies.
Wang Jin watched as the human-headed snake's body quickly became shorter until it spread out into a thin pancake.
Blood mixed with internal organ fragments flowed from the facial features, dyeing the river water red.
Occasionally, one or two with arms want to reach out and swat the moths before they land on them.
And they did succeed.
Unfortunately, the powder on the moths fell all over them, giving them a dreamy light.
The light that represents death.
So more moths flew there, and soon there were two pools of flesh and blood.
"It's really cruel."
Wang Jin wiped the blood on his hand and sighed.
"Are you serious?"
Da Paitou was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Jin with confusion in his eyes.
The mentally ill man who just dragged people over for dissection is now calling himself cruel.
"Here in my world, cruelty is a compliment."
Wang Jin shrugged.
"But if circumstances permit, I prefer to give my opponent a decent death."
"Beheading with a sword is mercy."
The young man looked at the snake-shaped girl with pear blossoms and rain not far away and sighed.
Then he lifted up the nail sword and disappeared.
——
"We don't have much time to waste."
The woman sighed and looked at the playboy who was standing in front of the mirror and changing his body shape.
Even though the siren was right around the corner, this idiot was still struggling in front of the mirror as to which clerk's identity he should use.
However, he has a stubborn personality and cannot be persuaded to leave.
She felt more and more that this guy would kill her.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Xi Chi narrowed his eyes and looked at the bloody identity tag on his hand.
"This clerk looks a bit fierce, and he's also very old."
Xi Chi sighed and threw the sign aside.
"This...it looks like he is single, and he will remain single until his death."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems like you won't become a great magician even after being single for thirty years."
The drama idiot's mouth was full of nonsense, which made Su Xix's teeth itch.
She suddenly wanted to leave the drama lover behind and go on her own...but losing one of the evil ones meant that it would take more time and energy to find the next one.
Especially for the Utopian, as long as he wants to hide, he can't find him no matter what.
Su Xi could only check the situation of the police in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Those people have already started searching here.
"Hmm...this is good. It has some freckles and is quite cute."
The drama fanatic nodded and pinned the identity tag to his chest.
Then his body slowly twisted, and finally turned into a big boy with chestnut hair, and his smile was a little green.
Even the costume on his body disappeared and became the most ordinary sportswear.
"With a little bit of deception, you will still find out if you are really encountered."
Seemingly seeing Su Xi's confused eyes, Xi Chi grinned, her tone full of pride.
"Idiot...I don't want to know."
Su Xi sighed and pushed the door open.
If you go any slower, the police will surround you.
"Leave quickly, you must leave now..."
Snap.
The cold pistol was pressed against the back of Su Xi's head.
Someone has been ambush behind the door, but neither Su Xi nor Xi Chi felt anything.
"You have the right to remain silent."
The policeman spoke softly, with a touch of excitement in his tone.
"But everything you say will be evidence in court."
Click.
Su Xi's hands were cut behind her back, and the cold handcuffs fell down without hesitation.
"I just encountered this kind of thing when I was on a business trip...I feel like I've been lucky recently."
The policeman grinned and stretched out his hand to straighten the large-brimmed hat on his head.
"Don't come over."
Su Xi swallowed her saliva and spoke softly.
"Girl, it's useless to say all this now."
The police forcefully pushed Su Xi to the ground.
"Alarm number 0628, my name is Wei Shan."
"Let's talk slowly if we have anything to say, there is plenty of time."
The policeman coughed twice, his low tone still filled with excitement.
"Let's go."
Su Xi spoke again, but her eyes drifted to the drugstore from time to time.
