Ye Ling murmured, sounding somewhat resistant and reluctant to speak.
Her reaction made Wen Mengxia and her companion feel uneasy.
At their feet lay the head of the snake king, its eyes bulging like copper bells, staring at them menacingly.
Although it was dead, the chilling aura and intimidating power emanating from its corpse were still quite frightening.
Moody took small steps closer to Ye Ling and whispered, "Is it a mouse?"
Ye Ling shook her head.
Wen Mengxia also came closer, holding Ye Ling's arms on either side: "Could it be a bat?"
Ye Ling continued to shake her head.
Moody, realizing something, said in a trembling voice, "Ah, I know, a centipede, isn't it?"
"Neither."
Ye Ling took a deep breath and said, "They are leeches, and mutated leeches at that. You... be prepared."
"Huh? A leech?"
Upon hearing this, Moody scratched his head in discomfort, his whole body resisting.
Wen Mengxia shuddered. "How come there are leeches here? Are there a huge number of them?"
Ye Ling looked into the dark hole: "There are so many. I'll throw a handful of fire in, and burn as many as it can."
A fireball exceeding 500 degrees Celsius was thrown in, and a viscous, wriggling sound immediately came from inside. The sound and heat made the three of them uncomfortable, and they quickly retreated to the side.
A burnt smell and an unpleasant odor wafted out, and the three people quickly pinched their noses and held their breath.
After a while, Moody asked in a low voice, "Is it finished burning?"
Ye Ling shook her head: "I didn't look. I really didn't want to see what was going on inside."
Wen Mengxia felt a chill run down her spine and scratched her head hard. "If we didn't have superpowers, we would die if we came into a place like this."
Moody nodded repeatedly: "Putting aside the leeches in this cave, who would go into the snake hole just now? And even if they did, who could come out alive?"
I can't believe there are so many terrifying things on the edge of the underground river. None of the adventure stories I've read mentioned these things.
Ye Ling: "Is it possible that the explorers discovered it, but didn't make it out alive, so no one knows about it?"
"That's true~"
After a while, the flames inside went out completely.
Ye Ling was very reluctant to go inside, so she completely froze the cave to make sure they wouldn't touch those disgusting things before she staggered inside.
"Ugh~"
"Huh~"
Moody and Wen Mengxia were disgusted by what they saw as soon as they went in.
All that could be seen on the ground and cave walls were countless brown leeches, so many that even after a fire was burned, not a trace of the color on the cave walls and the ground could be seen.
