Chapter 802: The enclosure
When I saw the face of this young man clearly, my heart skipped a beat. I wondered what was going on. How could this young man be swallowed by a snake?
You know, they came down together as a group of three. I don’t know how skilled this young man is, but Li Qinghai, as the head of the Kunlun Sect, must be very skilled.
Although this snake is a little bigger, it shouldn’t be so powerful that it could swallow this young man in front of Li Qinghai, right?
“Could it be that... Li Qinghai didn’t want too many people to know that he used the corpse pool to make Li Tian a living corpse, so he killed him to silence them?” I raised my eyebrows, but then shook my head.
Resurrecting Li Tian was probably the most important thing for Li Qinghai. When he went out to do such an important thing, he was able to take this young man with him, and even let him carry the sword box. This shows that Li Qinghai has a very high degree of trust in this person.
Moreover, Li Qinghai cooperated with the people of the Hundred Flowers Alliance. Many people in the Hundred Flowers Alliance must know about this matter. Therefore, one more person knowing it would not make much difference, and one less person knowing it would not make much difference either. There is no need to silence them at all.
"In this case, the reason why this young man was swallowed by this giant snake was... something happened at that time, and even Li Qinghai was unable to deal with it, and could only watch him being swallowed? But what happened at that time?"
I looked at the body of the giant snake and had a lot of random thoughts, until a painful groan sounded, and I came back to my senses.
"Still alive?" I was startled, and then I quickly walked to the young man.
Although I saw the young man's face clearly before, I was still a distance away. Now that I was close, the young man's miserable condition immediately frightened my scalp.
I saw that his body was covered with sticky liquid, and the liquid was like a layer of mucous membrane, tightly wrapping him in it.
Moreover, this liquid seemed to be corrosive. At this time, the young man's clothes were already full of holes, and even his body was corroded beyond recognition, and the skin and flesh had fallen off in some places.
His face, which used to be handsome, was now full of pits and dents due to corrosion. The hair on his head had almost fallen out, revealing his numb scalp...
This scene made my scalp tingle and my stomach churn. If I hadn't eaten anything recently, I would have almost vomited.
It was terrible, it was really terrible. Even though I had seen all kinds of corpses, I couldn't help but feel palpitations when I saw his appearance. What
made me feel even more horrified was that even though he was corroded like this, this young man was still alive.
I saw him raise his arms powerlessly, as if he wanted to tear off the mucus film on his face, but he was too badly injured, the bones and flesh of his arms seemed to be separated, he struggled for a few times, but couldn't lift his arms.
"Help...Help me..."
After seeing me, his eyes immediately widened, a strong desire to survive burst out from his eyes, and even his body began to twist violently.
I hesitated for a while, and finally pulled out the Miao Dao, and used the tip of the knife to pick off the mucus membrane on his face.
When the mucus membrane was torn, he immediately gasped, and then his eyes rolled, staring at me, opened his mouth, and spit out a few unclear words.
However, his throat seemed to be injured, and the sound he made was not only unclear, but also extremely weak. I couldn't hear it clearly.
But judging from the frequency of his mouth opening and closing and his wide eyes, he seemed to be warning me of something.
With this thought in mind, I quickly approached him, and then, almost unclear words immediately came into my ears.
"Run, dragon, run..."
"Dragon? What do you mean? Is there a dragon here?" I frowned secretly, then raised my head and looked at the darkness around me.
In the darkness, there was nothing else except the sound of water flowing in the underground river and the huge snake corpse lying motionless on the ground.
"He seemed to be warning me to leave here, but...what on earth could be here that would scare him so much? Could there really be a dragon? But how is that possible?"
At this moment, I suddenly discovered that there were many traces of varying depths around me. These traces seemed to be left by a giant creature crawling on the ground.
"Is it left by this snake?" I looked carefully and suddenly realized that these traces were not from the same snake. I
saw that on the nearby riverbed, there were densely packed traces, no less than a hundred. These traces were of varying depths and areas. Some traces were extremely large. With the size of this dead snake, it was impossible to leave such large traces.
"Could it be that there is something bigger than this one?" I was secretly shocked, thinking, this snake is already big enough, if it is bigger than this one, how terrifying would it be?
Moreover, judging from the traces on the ground, there should have been a lot of big snakes gathered here before, but where did these big snakes go?
Could it be... did they go to chase Li Qinghai and the others?
At this time, I had already guessed why there was such a huge underground space here.
This place should have been dug out to keep these big snakes in captivity!
Just as I frowned and looked at the traces with a serious face, suddenly, I heard a strange cry coming from the darkness in front.
This cry is not something that humans can make. It is a bit like a baby's cry, but if you listen carefully, you will find that it is not, but seems to be made by some kind of creature. This cry
came out suddenly, and at this moment it echoed in this dark underground cave. I was immediately shocked and my hair stood on end. My heart was pulled to my throat.
However, in just a moment, the sound disappeared, and the darkness around us returned to peace again.
"Did those big snakes go to chase Li Qinghai?" I looked at the man and asked. The man nodded and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, his body twitched and bright red blood bubbles spurted out of his mouth.
He was seriously injured. He must have been entangled by the snake before being swallowed. If such a big snake entangled a person, it would definitely kill him.
His bones and even internal organs might have been broken. He was vomiting blood at this moment. I could even see the fragments of internal organs in his blood. He vomited blood
several times in a row, and then he stared with his eyes wide open and didn't move.
I have long been accustomed to life and death. Although I feel a little sorry that a young life disappeared in front of me, when I thought that he was from Nan Kunlun and would draw his sword against me without hesitation if a conflict occurred between me and Li Qinghai, this feeling of regret disappeared.
I took a deep breath, then slowly stood up, raised my head and looked at the darkness in front of me.
At this moment, another strange cry came from the darkness. This time the strange cry lasted for a long time, as if the owner of the strange cry was seriously injured and was struggling violently in pain.
"Are you still fighting?" I smiled coldly at the darkness in front of me, and then quickly touched the direction where the sound came from.
