The cold, sharp claws pierced his body, tearing at his flesh and leaving five deep scratches on his chest and back. Shi Jinzhe's folded clothes were quickly soaked with blood.

The unseen ghosts left him struggling, and his wounds piled up, with blood dripping from his fingers.

Shekh's reminder could only protect his most vulnerable spot; the rest of his body would have little chance of resisting the attacks of two female ghosts at the same time.

What's even more difficult is that the ice is pressing on his wounds, and in the low temperature, Shi Jinzhe's body feels a stinging pain as if he's been burned.

Blood smeared on the wound, and Shi Jinzhe, unperturbed by the pain, wiped the blood off his cheek. Having experienced a 300% increase in pain, this was nothing.

Seeing his wounds slowly healing, Jiang Ling's eyes widened in shock, and she immediately took out her killing tool.

Sher's snake tail was frozen instantly several times. Although it only took a few seconds to break free each time, those few seconds were enough for the two female ghosts to inflict more wounds on Shi Jinzhe.

Her tail was frozen again, and she saw Jiang Jin carrying a long metal tube on his shoulder, which was aimed directly at Shi Jin.

Jiang set up the rocket launcher, a 600-point item, which he was using for the second time; the first time was to fight mutated zombie monsters.

Just as she was about to launch, a shadow rapidly expanded in front of her, and then the roof collapsed instantly.

Jiang had no choice but to roll over and dodge, while Shi Jinzhe also took the opportunity to get away from that area.

In the ruins, a giant purple snake tail rose from the fallen slabs of stone.

Unlike Shekh's half-human, half-snake form, this one had an incredibly thick snake tail; Jiang Yue felt he might not even be as tall as that tail.

The sound of scales rubbing together came from a pile of ruins. Jiang Yinxue used her sword to pry aside the stones, pulled Jiang Yi along, and quickly moved away from the ruins.

He shook the dust off his sleeves and expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Jiang Yi: "Where did you find this trouble? You didn't even tell me she could transform before you started fighting her."

Jiang Ling wasn't sure whether to be surprised that Shi Jinzhe could heal itself or that Shekh had grown so large after transforming, so he could only reply dryly, "How was I supposed to know that an item could have two forms..."

A huge hole appeared in the sky above the airport. Without the obstruction of skylights or walls, the golden sunlight poured in, casting rays of brilliance.

The pile of stones throbbed, and flowing purple light pushed aside the ruins, slowly sliding towards the direction where time seemed to break.

The sharp scales gleamed with a faint glow, and beneath the overlapping scales lay the most powerful muscles.

Shi Jinzhe's movements were too fast, and he felt a little dizzy. By the time he noticed the shadow behind him, Shekh had already swum past him and circled around him.

A proud head stood behind him, its cold, vertical pupils gleaming with a faint light, sending chills down one's spine.

Behind the corners of her eyes, there were two black streaks, like ribbons that altered the texture of her eyes.

An enormous, magnificent body lay sprawled on the sunlit ruins, both grotesque and beautiful.

Shekh tucked the Time-Ending Fold inside his body, with the snake tail positioned beneath the ruins to avoid obstructing his view.

The two female ghosts were pinned down by her tail and unable to move.

The sound of the collapse was so loud that those still alive inside the airport couldn't help but want to know what had happened.

Especially the people in the orange camp, they knew that Jiang Ziya had gone to kill the number one, and they were very concerned about the situation here. After discussing it, a few of them decided to come and take a look.

Jiang Ling was unaware that someone was coming; she was suddenly terrified when she was stared at by those merciless vertical pupils.

Jiang Yinxue stepped forward to block her, her long sword poised to strike, but she said, "Why don't you just send me back to my coffin?"

With such a large body, just freezing it would take a lot of his energy; if a real fight broke out, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

The fact that she's only using such a large original form now suggests that this snake woman can't maintain this form for long.

Shekh passed by Shi Jinzhe, his gliding body creating a gust of wind, his forked tongue probing, "Wait for me to come back."

Shi Jinzhe gently touched her scales, saying, "Then be careful."

Shekh glanced at him, and Shi Jinzhe actually read a sense of "I really can't do anything with you, you piece of trash" in those purple vertical pupils.

Leaving only the tip of its tail in front of Shi Jinzhai, Sheh increased its swimming speed and headed towards Jiang Jin and Jiang Yinxue.

The scene that Shi Jinzhe had witnessed in the maze reappeared: scales scraped against the ground, and irregular marks were left on the marble tiles beneath the ice.

But he only saw a part of the illusory body at that time. This was the first time he had seen Shekh in its full form as a snake, and it was incredibly large.

Unlike her usual appearance, when she was half-human and half-snake, her snake tail was delicate and smooth.

Once fully grown, it resembles the tree viper described in science books, with its scales slightly upturned at the ends, making it impossible for anyone to get close.

With the help of the mirror, Jiang Yinxue continuously condensed ice and changed positions, but each of Shekh's attacks caused the buildings to collapse, so he could only defend.

Jiang summoned two more ghosts, but this time they just hid in a corner. Seeing that Jiang Yinxue was injured, they became anxious and negotiated with Qi Yuping on the spot.

"Don't you have a mirror copy? Take that out and use it, don't just change the orientation."

“That’s a different price,” Qi Yuping said. “I agreed to help because you said you’d give me the humanoid prop if I killed the first one, but now it seems that to kill him I have to get past this snake first. That’s going to be difficult for you.”

He knew Jiang Yinxue. Whenever Jiang Yi went through a dungeon with ghosts and monsters, he would invite him out and have him sit there. The ghosts and monsters in the dungeon would act as if they had seen their father, offering their heads to him and directly delivering the answers to their eyes.

He's already struggling so much, what more could I possibly want?

Jiang continued to persuade him: "Just help me out, maybe. If I fail, it might be because of you that I'm missing this step."

"Then give me your bomb."

"...If you can find it, I'll let you have it, but you can't be stingy with your skills."

Qi Yuping neither refused nor immediately agreed, but simply said to try it out first and see.

Jiang Yinxue, who was floating in the air, was moved to a different position once again. He appeared from a blind spot, split into two, and attacked at the same time as his mirror image.

Shi Jinzhe stood on the ruins, using his gun to destroy the constantly appearing icicles. When he ran out of bullets, he switched to a shotgun.

As he kept loading and firing, the recoil slowed the healing of the wound on his shoulder inflicted by the female ghost, and blood left traces on the stones as he moved.
