But for some reason, there is always a vague sense of uneasiness in my heart.

It was as if there was a voice in the dark warning me not to act rashly.

Lin Qiye hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Right now, Sister Na is poisoned, and I have finally found the antidote, so why shouldn't I give it a try?
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and used all his spiritual energy to protect his heart meridian.

He then quickly took out a silver needle and carefully pierced the surface of the pill.

But something unexpected happened.

As soon as the tip of the silver needle touched the pill, it broke without warning and turned into powder.

But the pill was intact, without even a scratch.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Lin Qiye was so shocked that he almost dropped the pills on the ground.

Even though he was knowledgeable, he had never seen such a strange scene.

In a hurry, he subconsciously used his spiritual power to try to freeze this ominous thing.

Unexpectedly, the pill suddenly swung, easily broke his restraints, and sank directly into the box.

The lid of the box closed with a sound, and the mechanism restarted, locking the things inside tightly.

Lin Qiye was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and I cursed myself for being stupid.

How can we be so careless about a treasure of unknown origin?
If there is something strange, wouldn't it be a trap for Sister Na?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat on his back and was glad that he didn't eat it rashly.

After calming himself down, Lin Qiye carefully put the medicine box back into his arms.

It seems that this ancient tomb is indeed full of tricks, and you will suffer if you are not careful.

The most important thing right now is to get out of danger as soon as possible. As for the pills, we need to think about it later.

He looked around and soon found a hidden path in the corner of the cave wall.

With the light in my hand, I could vaguely see the road winding upwards, but I didn't know where it led to.

Lin Qiye's eyes lit up, and without thinking too much, he took a deep breath and stepped forward.

However, just as he was about to step into the corridor, a deafening roar suddenly came from behind him!
"Roar----"

Turning back, I saw that it was the dying giant snake, which suddenly stood up straight with strength from nowhere!
Its body towered into the clouds, several feet high, blocking out the sky and the sun!
A pair of blood-red snake pupils bulged, spewing out raging flames that engulfed the entire cave!
"What?!"

Lin Qiye's pupils shrank, he couldn't believe his eyes.

This beast was clearly dying just now, how could it suddenly jump up?
Could it be that all that just now was just a pretense to deceive me?
His mind raced and he immediately came to his senses.

It seems that this snake demon had no good intentions from the very beginning.

Pretending to be dead, I deceived myself. It is said that a centipede is still alive even after death, and it seems to be true.

It's so insidious and vicious that it's really hard to guard against!
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye was shocked and angry.

But at this moment, the danger is so great that I can't care too much about it.

"Damn it!"

He cursed loudly, clasped his hands together, and shouted: "Hurry up and obey the command, water and fire will complement each other, and thunder will be as powerful as lightning!"

Before he finished speaking, a green light flashed.

I saw an arc of electricity burst out from his fingertips, instantly covering the snake demon's head!
“Swish!”

A burnt smell wafted away.

The snake demon roared in pain, but still refused to give in.

Instead, he became more courageous as the fight went on, opening his mouth wide to swallow Lin Qiye in one gulp!
At this critical moment, Lin Qiye didn't care about anything else. He raised his hand and a beam of golden light pierced the snake demon's eyes!
At the same time, he exerted force on his feet and shot out like an arrow.

"Whoosh-"

A gust of wind brushed past my ears.

Even though the giant snake reacted quickly, it only had time to dodge, grazed the corner of Lin Qiye's clothes, and missed.

He had already landed several feet away, creating some distance between him and the snake demon.

He heaved a sigh of relief, not daring to slack off for a moment, and quickly took out a talisman and threw it at the snake demon!
"break!"

The talisman paper drew a strange red light in the air and instantly sank into the giant snake's body.

Then there was a terrible roar, and the snake demon could no longer hold on, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, shaking the earth!
Beneath the pitch-black scales, countless wounds appeared and dirty blood flowed out.

It was obvious that his internal organs were shattered by the blood talisman in his body.

Seeing this, Lin Qiye sneered.

If I had known this beast was so difficult to deal with, I should have been more ruthless at the beginning.

Now that I have finally gotten rid of a serious threat, the trip was worthwhile.

He quickly stepped forward, raised his knife and struck the snake demon's head twice to prevent it from mutating again.

Only after confirming that he was completely dead did I feel relieved.

Lin Qiye wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at the passage.

Although I don't know what dangers lie ahead, the only option now is to move forward.

For Sister Na, and also to pass the trial and find the truth!
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and strode towards the depths of the corridor.

There weren't many obstacles along the way.

There was only the darkness ahead, which grew thicker as he went deeper.

"Damn, where is this going to lead to?"

Lin Qiye cursed under his breath and quickened his pace.

After an unknown amount of time, the scene finally became clear again.

With the faint light in his hand, a spacious stone chamber appeared before his eyes.

In the center of the stone chamber, a tall stone statue stands solemnly.

With the help of the dim light, you can vaguely see that the statue is covered with snake skin, wearing a horned helmet, with a ferocious face, a long sword in each hand, and an extremely fierce expression.

"This, this is."

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and felt a chill on his back.

The shape of this stone statue is clearly the snake king that I saw before in the mural!
Legend has it that this man possessed supernatural powers, was cruel and bloodthirsty, and had harmed countless people.

I never expected to see his statue here.

Could it be that this is the secret place where King Yu killed the Snake King and suppressed his spirit?
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye's heart began to beat wildly and cold sweat broke out on his palms.

Looking around, I saw a large number of inscriptions and totems carved on the stone walls, which seemed to be telling stories from the distant past.

He concentrated carefully and vaguely saw some familiar words.

"Yu snake plague kills demon"

The fragmentary words and sentences pieced together a general story.

It turns out that back then, the snake tribe was wreaking havoc on the world.

King Yu could not bear to see the people suffer, so he led an army to attack the Snake King and fought a desperate battle with him.

Finally, the leader of the trouble was killed, and his body and soul were suppressed here, which brought peace.

"I see. Subduing demons and monsters, a great achievement for thousands of years, it really lives up to its reputation."

Lin Qiye secretly admired him and felt even more respect for the courage and bravery of this ancient hero.

However, the most urgent task at the moment is to find a magic medicine to cure snake venom as soon as possible.

He felt very distressed when he thought that Sister Na was still suffering.

Just as he was about to go deeper, suddenly, an inconspicuous detail caught his attention.

I saw a line of tiny inscription faintly engraved on the base of the snake king statue.

With the help of the firelight, he could barely make out the words on it:
"Sacrifice it with blood, and all poisons will be cured." (End of this chapter)
