Even in this atmosphere, Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh or cry when he heard this.
"roar!"
The White Walkers on the hillside remained motionless, but the giant dragon that swooped down from the sky charged straight at the three of them. When it was still hundreds of meters away, it opened its hideous maw, within which green flames were gathering.
"Mr. Shen, you all try your best to escape. I'll cover your retreat."
At the critical moment, Dao Jiu's usually honest face turned calm. He smiled, and the nine long swords surrounding him trembled wildly, revealing a hint of blood.
Sensing that Dao Jiu was going to fight desperately, Shen Qian felt incredibly conflicted.
He didn't believe that Dao Jiu was after the so-called monthly reward of 500,000 and the royal contract.
In a life-or-death situation, what's more important than survival?
If Dao Jiu were to escape on his own, his chances of survival would certainly be greater than the two of them.
Although my bodyguard is usually not very reliable, it's only in situations like this that you can truly see a person for who they are.
...His monthly food expenses of over 100,000 yuan were not wasted.
"It's alright, this time... we'll fight side by side."
Shen Qian let out a long breath and immediately gave up the idea of escaping.
Let's fight!
Even he himself was somewhat surprised at that moment, realizing that he was not as afraid of death as he had imagined.
"I'm actually a virgin too."
Shen Qianchong smiled, then reached into the other person's collar and whispered, "...So this is what it feels like."
Yuan You was momentarily stunned, then rolled her eyes at Chen Qian after she came to her senses. After a brief silence, she chuckled and said, "So this is what it feels like to be touched by a man."
They both laughed.
Just as the three of them were united in their thoughts, preparing to fight to the death against the giant dragon whose foul breath was emanating from it, a loud boom suddenly rang out in the sky.
It sounded like muffled thunder, but it was also mixed with strange, indescribable friction sounds.
The sound wasn't very loud, but it shook the snow and wind, making the heavens and earth tremble.
To Shen Qian's astonishment, the giant dragon that was about to spit out a fireball seemed to be frightened by something, and it shrank its head and stopped trembling in mid-air.
Not only it, but the other three undead dragons circling in the sky, as well as the countless skeleton birds, all stopped in mid-air and trembled. Many of them didn't even dare to flap their wings anymore and just fell straight down.
This inexplicably comical scene did not make Shen Qian and the other two laugh, because apart from Shen Qian, Yuan You and Dao Jiu were also trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Qian had initially felt a deep-seated fear, a complete suppression from the level of life itself, but the system quickly reacted, helping Shen Qian resist that lingering sense of awe.
So Shen Qian became the only person present who could still stand up straight.
Even the Others on the distant hillside no longer resembled sculptures; they looked around blankly, their faces showing instinctive fear.
"What...what happened?"
Dao Jiu tried to control the trembling in his body, but found that he couldn't do it at all. He asked, frustrated and angry.
Just as Shen Qian was about to shake his head, indicating that he didn't know either, the sky suddenly darkened.
No, that's not right... it wasn't dark...
Rather, there was something above the clouds.
Shen Qian stared dumbfounded at the seemingly endless black shadow in the sky. He knew it wasn't dark because... the black shadow was moving.
Yes, just like flowing water, the shadows crept in little by little, obscuring this patch of sky.
The scraping and rumbling sounds intensified, and once the dark figure was fully visible above, the surroundings became completely dark.
The dark figure paused, then slowly pressed down.
It looked as if it were crouching down, looking over at you.
Then Shen Qian saw... its shadow.
The sky resembled a lake, and Shen Qian and the others seemed to be standing at the bottom of the lake, with Shen Qian clearly seeing its reflection.
Shock and curiosity completely overwhelmed Shen Qian's mind.
That was... a large snake.
Its shadow was somewhat blurry, but its enormous inverted triangular head was unique to snakes and resembled the candle snake we had just seen.
Its size alone is hundreds of millions of times larger than that of an ordinary candle snake!
Before sinking, it saw two suns, and then realized it was overworked; those were its eyes.
Before sinking, I saw an endless crimson, which started as a line and then expanded at an exaggerated speed.
This is... its mouth!
Shen Qian suddenly realized what was happening.
For no apparent reason, he recalled a boast he had made to Zhu Deyong, the manager of the Kyushu Martial Arts Hall.
"Its form blotted out the sky, its body coiled on the ground, its head reaching above the clouds, and when it opened its mouth, only crimson remained between heaven and earth..."
It turns out that Lao Zhu wasn't just bragging.
He realized the truth before he fell.
This shadow is very likely the legendary giant serpent, the one that swallowed his hometown, Lu City, whole!
Although he only saw a blurry reflection, Shen Qian was extremely shocked.
Because the true form of this snake is probably even more terrifying than Zhu Deyong described.
What exactly is this thing?
"Destroy!"
Just as Shen Qian's thoughts were somewhat stagnant, he heard a somewhat hoarse yet extremely cold voice.
The tone of the voice was strange, but the majesty it contained was like that of an emperor.
He immediately realized that this was Parseltongue!
It was the giant snake that was speaking.
But... what does "extinct" mean?
