In an instant, a sharp pain spread throughout Lin Qiye's limbs.

He struggled desperately, but he felt that everything around him was sticky and slippery and he had no strength at all.

Seeing that his breath was about to stop, Lin Qiye felt unwilling but there was nothing he could do.

"Is my adventure going to end like this?"

He thought with a wry smile.

He tried his best to turn danger into safety and gradually solved the mysteries.

Who knew that I would fail at this last level.

If he died like this, would Sister Na's antidote be ruined?
Everyone is still persisting, how can I give up so easily?
No! He, Lin Qiye, cannot admit defeat yet!
Thinking of this, an indomitable fighting spirit rose in my heart.

He suddenly focused and bit the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake.

In an instant, a golden light flashed, stirring up a spiritual pressure like a violent storm.

"break!"

Lin Qiye shouted loudly, and suddenly swung the long sword in his hand, chopping directly into the belly of the giant snake!
“Swish!”

There was a crisp sound of flesh tearing, and smelly black blood gushed out, splashing all over him.

The giant snake let out a terrible roar and rolled on the ground in pain.

Lin Qiye was also blown away and fell heavily on the rock wall.

However, although this attack failed to kill the giant snake, it did severely injure it.

For a time, both sides were hurt and the situation was difficult to resolve.

Lin Qiye endured the severe pain and got up from the ground with a somersault.

He looked around and saw the ground was in a mess and smelled terrible.

The giant snake curled up in a pool of blood, twitching from time to time and making faint whimpers, like a dying beast.

But even though it was so seriously injured, it still wanted to get up and continue attacking.

Lin Qiye sneered, raised his sword, and slashed at the giant snake again.

"boom!"

The blade pierced the flesh, and black blood splattered.

The giant snake could no longer hold on and fell to the ground with a bang. Its huge body twitched a few times and then it became motionless.

Lin Qiye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and staggered, almost falling.

In that fierce fight just now, he had tried his best and consumed a lot of energy.

If it weren't for the Qilin bloodline protecting him, he would have died at this moment.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had drawn such a rare item earlier.

Otherwise, how could he have the strength to kill this demon snake?
"call"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Qiye looked around and was relieved to see that there was nothing unusual in the cave.

He walked slowly to the bronze tripod and looked at it carefully.

With the help of the talisman fire in his hand, he saw that the body of the tripod was covered with etched snake patterns.

"What on earth is this?"

Lin Qiye frowned, reached out his hand and stroked the wall of the cauldron, trying to comprehend some of the clues.

Suddenly, the fingertips touched an inconspicuous mechanism.

After a crisp "click" sound, the lid of the tripod slowly moved away, revealing the deep cavity inside.

Lin Qiye's heart trembled, and he quickly stepped forward.

With the help of the light, he saw a sandalwood box placed in the tripod, exuding an ancient and elegant atmosphere.

"Could this be..." He stretched out his hand tremblingly and carefully took out the box.

Gently blowing away the dust on the surface, what came into view was a line of blood-red small words:
"Snake gallbladder is a wonderful medicine."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Qiye's pupils suddenly shrank and he trembled with excitement.

Could this be the legendary elixir that can cure all poisons?
If I take it, will it be able to eliminate the snake venom in Sister Na's body?
Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back and immediately took out a dagger and tried to pry open the box.

However, just as the tip of the knife was about to touch the lid of the box, an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.

“Something’s wrong”

Lin Qiye muttered to himself, and his movements suddenly paused.

Based on his many years of experience in exploring ancient tombs, his intuition told him that things were not that simple.

How could such a treasure that concerns life and death be obtained so easily?
Thinking of this, he did not dare to be careless and carefully observed the box.

Sure enough, there was an ingenious mechanism hidden in the gap between the pieces!
"What a cunning trick."

Lin Qiye sneered, took out a piece of talisman from his arms, and quickly chanted a spell.

In an instant, a puff of green smoke rose from the talisman paper and disappeared into the mechanism.

There were a few crisp "click" sounds, the mechanism was released, and the lid of the box slowly opened.

What came into view was a fist-sized, pitch-black pill that emitted a strange glow.

"What is this?"

Lin Qiye frowned and didn't touch it rashly.

His intuition told him that there might be something wrong with this pill.

[Fuck! This development is too exciting! I thought there was some treasure hidden in the bronze tripod! It turns out to be a black pill?]

[That's right! Don't be fooled by its inconspicuous appearance, it might contain some incredible magical effects! Maybe after eating it, Sister Na's snake venom can be cured!]

[What the hell is recovery! What if that thing is some evil thing that cannot be seen in public? If I eat it, I will vomit three liters of blood!]

[Go away, stop worrying! This is a magical medicine unearthed from the Snake King’s Tomb, how bad can it be? Besides, the giant python was killed just now, what else is there to be afraid of?]

[Haha, can a single pill cure all poisons? I think it's probably a trap designed to harm people!]

[Your sister! If it was really a trap, how could Inspector Lin not see it? He has a photographic memory, how could such a trick deceive him?]

[That’s right! Besides, Inspector Lin has been through a lot along the way! If he had been tricked so easily, he would have died eight hundred times already!]

[You speak as if you know everything! How can there be so much luck in exploration? If something really goes wrong, will you be responsible?]

[What the hell! He's already risked his life, why would you care about him? Besides, opportunities are rare and will never come back again. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again!]

[Get lost, who cares about your little bit of reasoning? If it were you, I'd better try this pill on a poor guy first, just in case there are any side effects?]

[Side effects, you bet! With Inspector Lin's physique, can he be knocked down by a pill? That's nonsense!]

[That’s right. With the blessing of Qilin blood, a mere demon pill can be easily obtained. I think he has probably already seen the benefits of this medicine and is just waiting to give it to Sister Na!]

[Your sister! What if someone dies after eating it? Are you responsible for collecting the body? Let Sister Mi and Tianxian try, they are both obedient!]

[Get lost! Who wants to harm them? If you want to try, you need to find someone strong and healthy to avoid any accidents! Or should we let Wu Jing do it?]

In the live broadcast room, the audience was in an uproar again, discussing the origin and efficacy of the mysterious pill.

Some people even worried about some conspiracy and were afraid that Lin Qiye would fall into it.

Lin Qiye himself was concentrating on the black pill in his hand with a frown on his face.

"Strange, I didn't see anything unusual when I cracked the mechanism just now, why..."

He muttered to himself, puzzled.

The surface of the pill was smooth and hard, without any flaws, and the smell it emitted did not seem to be poisonous. (End of this chapter)
