Chapter 16
Ji Dongzang's body instantly tensed like a bowstring, with every nerve stretched to the extreme.
She could feel the cool fingers linger briefly on her skin.
The fingertips even slid gently with a tingling temptation.
Then, the entire cold palm pressed tightly against her fragile carotid artery.
The breath of death seemed to freeze at that moment.
Ji Dongzang held his breath and gathered all his strength.
The tip of the triangular spike adjusted its angle silently in the darkness.
As long as that hand showed any signs of trying to tighten or twist, she would stab the other party with the sharp blade without hesitation!
However……
The palm only stayed for a moment, feeling the pounding pulse and warm breath of life under her skin.
Then, the hands continued to move slowly.
Finally, they stopped at Ji Dongzang's coat.
The hands did not stay on the coat for too long, and then began to grope and scratch!
???
Ji Dongzang's alarm bells rang loudly!
She was wearing a thick bomber jacket, zipped up to her chin.
At this moment, she could clearly feel the force of the thing's fingers scratching on the clothes.
It wants to tear this troublesome coat into pieces!
Ji Dongzang still maintained a stiff and motionless posture, but the muscles all over his body were stretched to the limit.
Ready to go.
However, unexpectedly.
The monster seemed to hesitate again.
The tearing force suddenly loosened, as if it didn't really want to destroy the clothes.
It switched strategies.
A cold hand suddenly pressed down on Ji Dongzang's head with such force that she couldn't turn her neck.
The other hand tugged at her coat even more eagerly.
His fingers fumbled clumsily with the inside edge of the jacket, as if trying to find a foothold.
Trying to pull the entire coat upwards from the collar and take it off!
This strange behavior instantly made Ji Dongzang's astonishment overwhelm his fear.
What exactly is it going to do?
Unconsciously, her tightly closed eyelids opened slightly.
Hiss!!
That thing's reaction was faster than I could imagine!
Almost at the same time, a huge, cold silhouette with a fishy smell suddenly came close to Ji Dongzang's face!
The next second, Ji Dongzang felt a slippery and cold touch sweeping across his eyelids.
An unusually long, forked tongue.
Licking quickly across her eyes!
The cold, wet mucus gave her a momentary shiver.
A man and a monster looked at each other for the first time in this absolute darkness and faint breath.
Even without light, Ji Dongzang could feel that the approaching head was unusually large.
The outline vaguely bears human features, yet is filled with inhuman distortion.
A cold smell mixed with fishy smell and earth and rocks hit my face.
Curiosity, at this moment, overwhelmed the instinctive fear.
Ji Dongzang held his breath and groped silently and quickly at his side with his right hand.
My fingertips touched the cold metal barrel.
Her flashlight!
She flipped the switch without hesitation!
Swish!
A faint beam of light lit up.
The beam of light accurately hit the face of the monster that was so close. With the help of this faint light, Ji Dongzang finally saw clearly the "thing" that was dragging her into the darkness...
Snake…human snake…snake man…
A jumble of words exploded in her mind.
The first thing that caught my eye was a pair of huge eyes!
It almost occupied half of his face, his eye sockets were deep, and the vertical pupil inside suddenly shrank into a thin line under the stimulation of strong light.
The depths of the pupils were not clear, but a turbid gray-yellow color, like a stirred quagmire.
The beam of light moved upward, illuminating the top of its head.
It is covered with a thick layer of dark scales that are tightly arranged like a hat.
It glows with a cold luster in the dim light.
These scales start from the center of the head and extend down the spine, but the coverage becomes sparse.
Attached intermittently to its torso and arms.
Its upper body, in the area where the scales are sparse.
Skin close to that of a human has been revealed, and the purple blood vessels underneath can be seen.
But the surface of the skin has an inhuman smoothness and coldness.
Following Dong Zang's gaze shift...
The scales became increasingly sparse, revealing its extremely slender waist, which was almost too thin to fit in one hand, and its lines had a strange, unnatural flow.
And just above this slender waist.
A bulge!
The surface of the bulge was taut, as if covered with a thin, translucent membrane.
Something underneath was wriggling and colliding violently!
The muffled "gurgle...click..." sounds heard earlier were now coming clearly from inside the bulge!
The flashlight beam slowly moved downward, illuminating its huge and terrifying tail.
It was a thick, cold snake tail covered with dark scales, coiled on the ground, occupying almost most of the space in the narrow cave.
At this moment, the huge tail was swinging anxiously from time to time.
It hit the rock wall with a dull "pa ta" sound.
Those vertical pupils appeared even larger and more turbid under the beam of light.
At this moment, he was firmly fixed on Ji Dongzang with a primitive, indecipherable concentration.
Watch as it clumsily tries to pull the clothes off its head.
A thought flashed through Ji Dongzang's mind.
She took the initiative to take off her pilot jacket.
Then he tentatively handed it to the snake man.
Those hands were much larger than Ji Dongzang's palms, covered with sparse scales and pale skin.
He reached out hesitantly and took the small jacket.
It looked down at its clothes, then at Ji Dongzang, and made a meaningless gurgling sound in its throat.
He actually tried to apply it on himself in a very serious manner!
The scene was breathtakingly absurd.
A monster nearly three meters tall with a huge snake body.
Trying to squeeze yourself into a human jacket!
The dress looked extremely cramped on him, with the sleeves pitifully short and the back stretched tight, barely hanging on his broad shoulders.
What's even more absurd is that it seems to remember what it looked like before hibernation.
It clumsily pinched the small zipper head and tried to pull up the zipper like Ji Dongzang.
However, the zipper climbed up a little with difficulty.
Finally, it got stuck on the bulge in its abdomen and could not move forward any further.
This seemed to have completely enraged it!
When Ji Dongzang first saw the bulge, he wondered if there was something brewing inside, but now—
"Roar!" A painful and furious roar squeezed out of its throat!
It gave up on the zipper and instead used its huge fists to pound its bulging belly like crazy!
The force was so heavy that it made a muffled "bang! bang! bang!" sound.
Under the thin skin and translucent membrane, various raised contours are clearly visible!
There are bulges in the east and west, as if its stomach is filled with hard, sharp-edged stone fragments.
It's stirring wildly inside its body!
"What's wrong with you?" Ji Dongzang couldn't help but raise his voice, trying to communicate with this painful and violent creature.
It was completely immersed in its own pain and turned a deaf ear to Ji Dongzang's cries.
He just roared in pain and pounded his abdomen even more violently.
The huge body twisted and crashed wildly in the narrow cave!
Bang! Bang! Crash!!
The hard snake's tail and shoulders slammed violently into the surrounding rock walls, sending large chunks of gravel and dust falling.
It hit Ji Dongzang, forcing her to step back and dodge.
The entire cave trembled under its rage.
Looking at its painful struggle, an idea flashed through Ji Dongzang's mind:
Could it be that... it was so hungry that it swallowed the stone without any choice?
At this moment, the huge noise finally attracted Qiu Lian who was looking for the person who was looking for him.
She nimbly dodged the wildly swinging snake tail and falling debris.
With the help of Ji Dongzang's flashlight, I could finally see the scene deep in the cave.
That huge, miserable, self-mutilating human snake.
Qiu Lian quickly flashed to Ji Dongzang's side, steadying her and keeping her away from the attack range of the mad monster.
"What's wrong with it?" Qiu Lian lowered his voice, his eyes fixed on the violent human-snake.
Ji Dongzang frowned as he looked at the monster that was pounding its abdomen and roaring in pain. He asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Should we...kill it now?"
"It doesn't seem to show any intention of attacking us?" Qiu Lian stared at the human snake.
Ji Dongzang turned to look at Qiu Lian, his eyes full of suspicion: "Didn't you say... you came to rescue people? Could it be?"
"It's not this one." Qiu Lian replied.
…
The two were speechless for a moment and could only stand silently in the relatively safe corner.
Watching the huge human snake bumping around wildly in the narrow cave.
Dust filled the air and rubble rolled down, creating a picture of despair and chaos.
Silence lasted for a moment, only the painful thrashing and roaring of the human snake echoing in the cave.
Ji Dongzang stared at the bulge that was constantly being beaten and violently heaving, and couldn't help but speak again: "It looks like it's in great pain, it keeps beating its belly. Do you think... could it have swallowed a stone? Otherwise, why would its belly be so bloated?"
"You'll know if you try it." Qiu Lian's answer was as cold and hard as the machete in her hand.
Before she finished speaking, she moved without any warning!
With the machete in his hand, he chopped at the bulging belly of the human snake without hesitation!
Ji Dongzang: “???”
Her mind went blank for a moment.
This action is too simple and crude!
Not even a roundabout way to test it? !
However, what shocked her even more was the human-snake struggling in pain.
Seeing the machete coming towards the part that hurt him the most, he didn't dodge or fight back.
Instead, it seemed as if it saw hope of liberation, and its huge body even thrust forward.
Facing the sharp blade!
Swish!
There was a sound of leather tearing!
The blade easily broke through the skin and the tight membrane on the snake-man's abdomen.
The fishy dark green mucus mixed with dark red blood gushed out instantly!
Ji Dongzang suppressed his nausea and immediately rushed forward with the bright flashlight.
The beam of light hit the huge wound.
