Chapter 154: Poisonous Mouth
"So slow, just a guide, not the prey of those big guys."
As soon as Lilith approached, she heard Louis's somewhat cold tone. He didn't look at her, but just stared at his spiritual body.
"So you think it's too fast and bumpy? So sweet, how about you two go exploring and I'll stay out?"
The strange snake shook its head slightly, and the girl on it almost slipped off.
The snake scales were very slippery, and she couldn't sit on them securely. But when it coiled up, it left a place for Lilith to sit, and the extent of the coiling was just enough to wrap around her.
Although it looked strange, no one cared.
"Forget it, let's go."
After saying that, Louis jumped onto the body of the strange snake. The coiled snake scales did not make his figure shake at all, as if he had merged with his spiritual body.
Lilith originally thought that the two of them were going to use the cube to move to the contaminated area together, but Louis did not stop until he passed the last device.
"Go straight there?"
"Every bit of data from the cube is recorded in the system. A movement record appeared in the middle of the night. It's obvious that something's wrong."
“…”
What an annoying guy! He has such a pretty face, but how can his mouth be so vicious? Won’t he be silenced by his own sarcasm?
Lilith simply ignored Louis's sarcastic words and concentrated on feeling the strange snake under her.
The purpose of using the cube to pass through the shallow contaminated area is to preserve strength. Even the smallest amount of contamination accumulated will cause irreparable damage to the spirit body.
Each snake scale was almost as big as half her palm, piled up layer upon layer, emitting a beautiful golden glow.
Lilith summoned the elderberry, and the blooming flowers started from her body and merged into every gap between the scales. The faint healing light repaired the wounds.
At the same time, the mental barrier was erected, isolating all pollution, and the tense body of the strange snake relaxed a little.
After doing all this, Lilith finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Louis with some anger, and imitated him in mocking him.
"Your Highness, you are truly lucky to be alive today. You dared to enter the contaminated area without a guide and never received treatment. It would not be surprising if you went crazy at any time."
Who would do this just for someone who may have died long ago?
Sometimes, Lilith even wondered if Louis already had the answer in his heart, but just didn't want to believe it.
It’s okay if she doesn’t want to believe it, because this way she has the opportunity to explore.
The speed of the strange snake became very fast under Louis's urging, even faster than Shen Jiaxu's white fox. I don't know how a snake can move forward so flexibly.
Lilith's body swayed slightly. Although she didn't fall, she still accidentally hit her ankle and a look of pain appeared on her face.
The next second, she was embraced by a hand, her shoulders were clasped tightly, and the shaking stopped. When she looked up, Lewis's profile was close at hand.
"If all the androids in the Federation were as weak as you, those guys in the parliament would be laughing their asses off."
"Yes, I am not as powerful as Your Highness. Even though I am so powerful, I still can't find the person I want to find."
Lilith endured the pain without making a sound as her shoulder blades were suddenly pinched. After a few seconds, she retracted the force.
Lewis finally closed his mouth, which was more poisonous than medicine, looked at her coldly, and stopped talking.
The contaminated area could not distinguish the direction, nor could it sense the time. When Lilith's eyes were a little sore, Louis whispered,
"arrive."
He simply jumped off the strange snake, staring at the girl who was still high up, folding his arms as if he was watching a good show.
Lilith knew at a glance that this guy probably wanted to see her show again, so she simply lifted one leg, turned over lightly, and slid down directly along the snake scales.
When she was about to fall to the ground, the elder tree growing under her body stretched out its protruding branches just in time to bear part of the impact for her.
Seeing this scene, Lewis's eyes flashed with surprise, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Not bad."
"That's very good."
Lilith said this casually, then turned to look at the building in front of her. The building had already collapsed, tilting to the right. The empty windows revealed the dark interior, and nothing could be seen clearly.
"Is this the place?"
Lilith controlled the elder tree to move forward. Although her speed was like a snail, at least she didn't have to walk by herself. Her spirit body had grown to two meters tall, which was more than enough to bear the weight.
"Well, this is it. Except for the time ten years ago, it has always looked like this every time I've been here."
However, Lilith thought it looked like an abandoned building that could be found everywhere in a polluted area. She suspected that Louis might be a person with poor direction.
"Even if I were blindfolded, I wouldn't be an idiot and mistake the way. I'm sure this is the place. If you look closely, you can see traces of the central pool and the tree pit."
Louis, as if he could read Lilith's mind, pointed to a place not far ahead and explained. Lilith tried hard to compare this dilapidated scene with the school in her mind. Finally, she barely matched a piece of graffiti that was so dirty that its original appearance could not be seen with her memory.
It was a vast expanse of blue and gold, symbolizing the ocean and the sun. When Lilith was ten years old, the school building, which was said to have taken six years to build, was finally completed.
To celebrate, each class was asked to send a student who can draw to graffiti on the blank wall. The theme was hope and vitality.
Originally, the forest and the red sun symbolized the growing children. Since then, many children have gathered in front of the graffiti wall after class.
Lilith also wanted to see it, but there were too many people. She had no chance to get close. She could only use her eyes to trace it in the dark after school when no one was around.
One day, she felt very sad for some reason and kept staring at the forest and the graffiti of the red sun and crying. She stayed there for too long, so long that the security guard came with a flashlight and patrolled around.
In panic, she wiped her tears with her hand and brushed it against the red sun. The inferior paint immediately smudged on her hand, and the sun became blurred.
Lilith took a long time to wash off the color on her hands, feeling uneasy that she had destroyed everyone's graffiti. But when she moved her eyes timidly over, the forest and the red sun turned into a blue sea and a golden sun.
"Who secretly altered the painting? It's our work. Isn't that too much?"
“But this seems to be better than our original drawing.”
Some people were dissatisfied, some praised and admired, but only Lilith was uneasy and relieved.
At this moment, she looked at the ruins, her fingertips touching the waves whose original appearance could not be seen.
In an instant, the tall building turned upside down, and a rough voice came from afar.
"Who's there? Why aren't you home after so long?"
