“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The venomous snakes spat out their venom, intertwining with each other to form a huge snake tide.
Just casually reaching out, one could catch a dozen or so.
Not to mention the venomous snakes’ lethality, just the sight of them could scare the faint-hearted into passing out.
Some cobras were the most ferocious, standing with their upper bodies, approaching Lin Baici and his group.
Gurgle!
Looking at these venomous snakes, Lin Baici’s stomach growled, and he was actually feeling a bit hungry.
“Damn, can you handle this?”
“Could this monster have finally found an opportunity to deliberately trap us?”
“I feel like we’re done for!”
Someone was too scared and instinctively blurted out curses, questioning the Scorpion Queen, while others suspected her motives, thinking that they were only here to kill.
“Shut up, all of you!”
Lin Baici burst out.
“Don’t wrongly accuse the queen!”
Hua Yueyu was unhappy.
These people were too full of themselves.
They were just a bunch of riffraff.
If the queen really wanted to kill, why wait until now?
The Scorpion Queen glanced at Lin Baici, seeing that he did not question her, nor did he urge her, just quietly waiting, which made her feel that this human male was more charming.
And that little fish person was not bad either.
The Scorpion Queen extended her left hand to her mouth, revealing her sharp teeth, and bit down hard.
Sizzle! The skin broke, and the Scorpion Queen began to suck blood forcefully. After a few big mouthfuls, her lungs swelled, and then she forcefully sprayed it out.
Whoosh! The bright red poison mist immediately spread out. When it enveloped those venomous snakes, they immediately went crazy, starting to bite the ones around them.
They were killing each other, causing the snake pit to become chaotic in an instant.
“Is it a neurotoxin?”
Fei Xiao’s expression became serious. If humans inhaled it, it would probably cause the same situation.
Everyone was very nervous, especially when they saw the red poison mist spreading freely.
There was no way to precisely control the mist, even though the Scorpion Queen was already being very careful, some of it still drifted over.
“Lin, what should we do?”
Everyone covered their mouths and noses, and the timid ones even started to move away, but because of the venomous snakes, they didn’t dare to go too far, so the crowd became crowded.
“Get some water out!”
The Scorpion Queen sprayed another mouthful of red poison mist.
Lin Baici quickly complied, taking out four large buckets of mineral water and unscrewing the lids.
The Scorpion Queen spat a few mouthfuls into the water buckets. “Shake it, then drink it, and you’ll be fine!”
Everyone looked at each other. The detoxification method seemed a bit ridiculous, and they didn’t know if it would work.
What they were worried about was whether it would work, not whether drinking the Scorpion Queen’s saliva would…
There was no need to pay attention to such details.
“If it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t help these humans. The crimson poison mist is my trump card. But in order to save these people, it has been exposed.”
The Scorpion Queen looked at Lin Baici sincerely. “I hope you won’t let me down!”
“…”
Lin Baici was at a loss. What should he do?
Could it be that he really had to have children with this scorpion spirit?
“…” Bian Xiang was dumbfounded. What was this?
The power of love that transcended species?
Bian Xiang looked at Lin Baici again.
It had to be said that this kid’s looks were really something.
Once he decided to live off a woman, he could wave his money around and circle the entire Haijing.
“I will help you find a strong male to produce the most powerful offspring!”
Lin Baici didn’t want to deceive the Scorpion Queen, so he confessed honestly.
“Hmph, who do you think I am? Any human male will do?”
The Scorpion Queen sneered, but she also understood that this kind of discomfort between species couldn’t be eliminated in a short time. It could only be cultivated through spending several years together.
“Damn, I suddenly feel a bit envious, what should I do?”
Fang Tianhua muttered.
Smack! Fei Xiao slapped the back of Fang Tianhua’s head. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Unfortunately, Lin Baici wasn’t a pervert. Otherwise, not to mention the Scorpion Queen, even if it was a carp spirit, as long as it had a mouth, there would be no problem.
“You guys drink first!”
Lin Baici handed the water bucket to Xia Hongyao.
The Scorpion Queen turned around, grabbed Lin Baici’s collar, pulled him in front of her, and then kissed his lips.
Lin Baici felt liquid flowing into his mouth.
The poisoning effect brought by the crimson poison mist was immediately cleared.
“Xiba!”
Jin Yingzhen was super unhappy.
To let a scorpion spirit take the lead, I’m not convinced!
But fortunately, this was just a scorpion spirit.
Don’t be angry! Stay calm!
Oppa might also like figurines in the future, two-dimensional paper people, or raising a pet, it’s not much different from a scorpion!
Jin Yingzhen comforted herself.
“…”
Xia Hongyao didn’t know why, but she suddenly felt an impulse to chop off this scorpion spirit.
The venomous snakes fought chaotically, and Lin Baici’s group, after drinking the Scorpion Queen’s saliva, also emitted a scent of ‘Scorpion Poison’. This was a terrifying enemy for these venomous snakes, so they followed their instincts and retreated.
In the middle of the pit, a hole about half a meter wide was exposed.
“Quick, go in!”
Lin Baici urged.The hunger, what’s going on?
Is there something good here?
It can’t be snake meat, right?
“I’ll go first!”
Fei Xiao jumped in first, Xia Hongyao wanted to go second, but that Bian Xiang moved faster.
Snap! Lin Baici pulled Jin Yingzhen: “Tell Hongyao to be wary of that guy!”
No one dared to stay here for long, they all wanted to hurry into the cave.
Soon, only Lin Baici and the Queen Scorpion were left on the scene.
“You go first!”
Lin Baici wanted to stay behind.
“…”
Hearing this, the Queen Scorpion suddenly felt that her efforts had paid off, so she smiled: “You go first!”
“Don’t argue, it won’t take long.”
Lin Baici felt that the scorpion spirit could handle it, as long as she didn’t mention giving birth to children.
[Let me see what I found? A snake egg with divine grace attached, eat it and you will receive this divine grace!]
Lin Baici’s spirits lifted, he was very sensitive to the word “divine grace” now.
“Where is it?”
Lin Baici widened his eyes and looked around.
[To the north, there is an egg, named the Great Snake. Eating it can soften the muscles and bones, greatly increasing flexibility.]
To the north? They are in the temple now, who knows which way is north?
“What are you looking for?”
The Queen Scorpion saw Lin Baici’s unusual behavior.
“Snake eggs!”
Lin Baici summoned the muscle Buddha and prepared to let it clear the way, flipping through the bodies of the snakes to find the eggs.
“Do you want to eat it? Wait!”
After hearing this, the Queen Scorpion immediately crawled towards Lin Baici’s 3 o’clock direction.
Lin Baici urged the muscle Buddha to keep up. If a boss appeared, it could lend a hand, but now the venomous snakes were all affected by neurotoxins and were killing each other, so he didn’t care about the Queen Scorpion.
Soon, the Queen Scorpion turned over a pile of snake corpses and found six black-purple snake eggs underneath, the size of a durian, and brought them back.
“Enough?”
The Queen Scorpion stuffed the snake eggs to Lin Baici. It seemed that if he said it wasn’t enough, she would go find more eggs, pampering him endlessly.
“Is there more? Show me the way, I’ll get them myself!”
Lin Baici was surprised to find that he had the urge to swallow the two snake eggs quickly, which meant they had divine grace.
A one-third chance was already very high.
Because there were too many venomous snakes, the smell was strong, and with their mutual killing, blood was flowing, and the Queen Scorpion’s poisonous mist, Lin Baici didn’t dare to activate his sense of taste, otherwise his sense of smell would probably be ruined. So he could only rely on the Queen Scorpion to find the snake eggs.
As an animal, the Queen Scorpion’s ability to find food came from instinct.
“Over here!”
The Queen Scorpion led Lin Baici to the next pile of snake eggs.
Lin Baici not only let the muscle Buddha go first, but also took out the Goblin King card, summoning a hundred goblins to spread out around him.
This way, even if the venomous snakes attacked, they would bite the goblins first.
The Queen Scorpion suddenly saw so many small, ugly monsters and was surprised, but when she found out that Lin Baici could command them, her expression was complicated.
This human man still had a trump card!
Lin Baici flipped through six piles of snake nests in a row, finding a total of seven snake eggs, all with divine grace.
“Found them! Found them!”
Lin Baici was overjoyed. This stuff would definitely sell well!
Overnight riches were not to be expected, but at least half-rich.
And giving this stuff as a gift would definitely be advantageous!
“Xiaolin, what are you doing?”
Xia Hongyao drilled through the snake nest and didn’t wait for Lin Baici, very worried, and drilled back in.
“Picking up money!”
Lin Baici looked at his watch,
Damn! It took seven minutes!
If no one was cursed, it would be very profitable to spend seven hours looking for snake eggs, but now every second counted.
“Let’s go!”
Lin Baici looked back at the snake nests and felt like he had lost a billion.
“Do you need money?”
Xia Hongyao was surprised: “I have some savings, I’ll lend them to you first!”
When Lin Baici ran to the entrance of the cave, Xia Hongyao held a short knife and stared around, ready to stay behind.
This scene made Lin Baici feel a thousand emotions.
High ponytail, intelligence D, but when it came to friends, there was really nothing to say, all kinds of dirty, tiring, and dangerous work, she was eager to do, never complaining.
This kind of hardworking and fearless soldier was probably wanted by every platoon leader.
“Don’t need it!”
Lin Baici took a snake egg and handed it to the Queen Scorpion: “There is divine grace on it, that’s what we humans call it, you can understand it as a kind of mysterious and powerful force. After absorbing it, you can obtain it!”
“What divine grace?”
Xia Hongyao was curious and took a look.
Lin Baici really is a great detective like Sherlock Holmes, he can even find these snake eggs!
After all, even Fei Xiao, the Lion King platoon leader, didn’t notice.
“So that’s it, no wonder I always feel the urge to swallow a few snake eggs!”
The Queen Scorpion suddenly realized.
“Thank you!”
The Queen Scorpion also longed for power. She took the snake egg and swallowed it in a few mouthfuls, while at the same time, her wariness towards Lin Baici once again dropped significantly.
Yes,
Until now, although the Queen Scorpion had been very friendly, she still didn’t completely trust Lin Baici. As long as this human man dared to show hostility, she would drag him back to her nest.Detained!
Love is a luxury, and the Scorpion Queen does not expect it. As long as he is alive, healthy, and able to give birth to powerful snake babies, it’s enough.
“Kuigod, are the divine favors on these snake eggs all the same?”
Lin Baici looked around. This was a narrow and cramped tunnel. With his and Xia Hongyao’s height, they had to crouch to walk inside.
The larger Scorpion Queen was even more uncomfortable, unable to turn quickly.
If Lin Baici were to attack it now, the success rate would be as high as ninety percent.
“They are all the same, all with snake bone flexibility!”
“After activation, the body can become as flexible and boneless as a snake, able to assume various shapes that surpass the limits of the human body structure.”
“You can even form the 26 English letters!”
“Understood!”
Lin Baici immediately understood. It was even better than the flexibility of acrobats and gymnasts. He could even crawl through a narrow dog hole.
From childhood to adulthood, whether it was due to the influence of the Kuigod or not, he naturally had an eight-pack, a strong physique, and good flexibility. He could even do a handstand, but more exaggerated poses, like turning his head 180 degrees, were not possible. Now, this disadvantage had been compensated for.
“Hongyao, here’s a divine favor for you!”
After tossing a snake egg to Xia Hongyao, Lin Baici took out another one and began to absorb it.
“Xiaolin, I owe you too much!”
Xia Hongyao held the snake egg and felt that she had to do a lot to repay him.
Ah! It was really hard to justify not giving birth to a child for Lin Baici!
“So much nonsense, hurry up and absorb it!”
Lin Baici urged. A slender arm of starlight had already reached out from his shoulder and grabbed a light cluster from the snake egg.
“Thanks for the gift of nature!”
Open your mouth! Swallow! Digest!
The snake bone flexibility was imprinted on Lin Baici’s brain neurons, becoming his instinct.
“This divine favor is great!”
Xia Hongyao was pleasantly surprised. Although it didn’t directly help in battle, it was very useful for escaping. In the future, no one would be able to tie them up with handcuffs or ropes.
Feeling great.
“I know a dragon-level leader named Big Snake Princess. Most of her abilities are related to snakes. If I show her my snake bone flexibility, she will definitely envy me!”
Xia Hongyao grinned.
Lin Baici raised an eyebrow. Selling the snake eggs to such a big shot should fetch a high price.
The two quickly moved forward.
Although Lin Baici had a strong tolerance and no fear of confined spaces, walking in such a narrow and cramped place would instinctively make him uncomfortable. However, after absorbing this divine favor, that feeling immediately disappeared. In his eyes, the tunnel now seemed extremely spacious, and ten of him could pass through it together.
Approaching the entrance, Fei Xiao, who heard footsteps, immediately asked, “Is it Baici?”
“Yeah!”
Lin Baici crawled out and saw that it was a hall. The ground, walls, and ceiling were all carved with scarab patterns.
“Why did it take so long?”
Bian Xiang looked at Lin Baici and the Scorpion Queen, seemingly asking casually, but in fact, he was very concerned. There were no signs of battle on them, so why did they stay for so long? Did they find something good? Were they secretly taking it all for themselves?
Bian Xiang regretted a bit. He shouldn’t have come over so early. Otherwise, he could have gotten a share of the spoils.
“Do you have any say in this?”
The Scorpion Queen didn’t like Bian Xiang’s gaze. “Get out of here. If you keep talking, I’ll eat you!”
Bian Xiang pretended to be afraid of the queen and backed away, but in reality, he was thinking about how to quickly lift the curse, kill these people, and get the richest spoils.
“Which way should we go?”
Fei Xiao also felt that Lin Baici must have kept something from everyone and did something over there. But that’s how exploring the God’s Ruins was. It depended on one’s vision and luck. If you missed the spoils, it was because of your own lack of strength, and you couldn’t blame others.
“To the right!”
The group set off again, passing through the hall and entering a corridor.
This time, the corridor was very long. They ran for five minutes and still hadn’t seen the end, which made some people anxious.
Suddenly, Fei Xiao stopped.
“What’s wrong?”
Someone asked from behind.
In front of Fei Xiao, there was a scarab statue the size of an adult bull, slowly crawling.
“The mother of the scarab, will give birth to countless scarabs!”
“Don’t touch it! Don’t touch it! Don’t touch it!”
“Don’t touch it, go around it!” Lin Baici warned.
Fei Xiao was very obedient, and now lifting the curse was the top priority. He didn’t want to cause any trouble.
The other ordinary people didn’t dare to touch it, but Bian Xiang, holding a curved knife, passed by the obsidian scarab statue and chopped its head.
This thing seemed to be a divine taboo, too big for Bian Xiang to take away, so he wanted to destroy it and leave nothing for others.
Clang! The curved knife struck the statue, making a crisp sound that echoed in the corridor.
Everyone was startled and looked over.
“What are you doing?”
Lin Baici roared.
“I felt like it was staring at me, so I instinctively took a swing!” Bian Xiang explained. “Sorry!”His attitude was very good because he knew that Lin Baici was the leader of this temporary team. Offending him would mean getting kicked out!
Lin Baici couldn’t bother dealing with him and yelled at everyone, “Run! Quick, quick, quick! Full speed!”
Seeing Lin Baici so anxious, everyone else got scared and started sprinting.
“Do you understand what this is?”
Bian Xiang was surprised. Lin Baici should also be seeing this statue for the first time, yet he seemed to know about its danger?
As for Lin Baici’s command to run, Bian Xiang wasn’t panicked. He was a Divine Hunter; if he encountered danger, he could fight, and if not, he could run, plus there were so many others to buy time.
After the scarab statue was struck by a blade, it stopped, turned its head, and then with a “squeak,” it suddenly started running wildly.
Whoosh!
Its abdomen opened up, and a multitude of coin-sized scarabs poured out, forming a tide of insects chasing after the intruders.
“Damn, bugs!”
“Shit, it’s all because you couldn’t keep your hands to yourself!”
“Lin God, think of something quick!”
Everyone was panicking because the scarabs were very fast.
Lin Baici pulled out a pine torch and vigorously scraped it against the wall.
Whoosh! The flame lit up.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The scarab statue let out a series of shrill screams, and on the ceiling and the walls on both sides, some stone slabs suddenly cracked open, revealing holes.
Countless scarabs poured out from them, like floodgates being opened.
There were too many scarabs; they landed on everyone, covering the floor.
With every step, you could crush more than a dozen, that sensation was simply indescribable, and the most terrifying thing was that some scarabs had already climbed onto their bodies, their belly feet scraping across the skin, leaving a chilling sensation.
