Chapter 80 - Great Snake Heretic
If it were anyone else, they might have been overjoyed to see these treasures, but now they were facing two fellows who had no monetary wants at all.
A zombie and Lu Xiaocha, who only had eyes for food.
All they thought was how pretty this place was. Nothing but that.
“These stones are beautiful!”
Jewelry filled the entire underground palace. It was so dazzling that even Lu Xiaocha found it beautiful.
It could only be said that she was shocked at first sight, but after two or three seconds, she calmed down.
Let’s put it this way. If anyone were to exchange these beautiful things for her food, she would think that that person was stupid to want to exchange some good-looking but useless stones for her food!
But without that kind of conversion, Lu Xiaocha still liked these beautiful stones.
They lifted the bead curtain and stepped inside. There was a faint rustle.
Yin Shian looked at the huge portrait in front of him, and intense hatred and resentment flashed across his ruby-like eyes. He almost lost his mind.
No one else…
“That painting. It’s the Imperial Preceptor.”
Lu Xiaocha comforted him, “Take it easy. Although he made you miserable when you were alive, he didn’t live longer than you.”
Yin Shian: … I’m already dead. Thank you.
But it did feel better to think about it this way. As far as he knew, the Imperial Preceptor had been pursuing a way to live forever. He clearly couldn’t live forever himself, but he was using it to refine pills for the emperor. How ironic.
In the end, it was he, who had died before the others, who had come back to life thousands of years later and seen the world now. Those old friends had long become one with this land.
Although he was expelled from being human.
Just because he had thought it through didn’t mean that he didn’t hate it. Yin Shian flicked his sleeve, and a black chain flew towards the portrait.
“Roar!”
A huge black and red snake head hung from the stone pillar of the palace. It opened its bloody mouth and grabbed the chain, throwing Yin Shian away.
Yin Shian was speechless.
He hated feeling like this!
The huge python wrapped around the hanging beam of the palace was dozens of meters long and its body was ridiculously thick. Lu Xiaocha was not even as big as its eyes when she stood in front of it.
Such a snake could no longer be called a normal creature.
A word flashed through Lu Xiaocha’s mind.
Heretic.
No wonder there were no bones of anyone along the way. They had probably been swallowed by this thing.
“RUMBLE.”
As the underground palace shook, the snake head flicked its tongue at the human in front of it, who was not even big enough to fill the gaps between its teeth. With a speed that did not match its huge and cumbersome body, it opened its mouth and swooped down like lightning.
Lu Xiaocha gathered her strength on her feet. With a cracking sound, the jade on the ground was crushed by her. Her petite body jumped up the moment she was about to be bitten by the snake.
The snake missed its bite. Before it could react, its head was smashed into the ground as if a million kilograms of force had fallen on it.
“Roar!”
The originally jade-white ground was completely cracked open, and the jade was covered in bright red blood.
The snake’s long, large body was still twisting and churning. The boxes filled with jewels were knocked to the ground, and the entire underground palace began to shake.
At this moment, its huge snake tail twisted from behind. The sound of air being torn sounded like a sharp whip, and the snake tail whipped towards Lu Xiaocha with a sharp snap.
She jumped away in time. The tail hit the snake’s own head, and the sound was loud.
Head buzzing.
This was a ruthless snake, it actually hit itself.
Yin Shian stood at the side and tidied his hair. “Ha.”
Somehow he managed to make a gloating, mocking sound.
Lu Xiaocha glared at him. “Why didn’t you come to help?”
Yin Shian shrank his neck. “Xiaocha, you can do it. All the best!”
Lu Xiaocha: “…”
Who the hell is master?
Yin Shian said, “The snake is edible.”
Very good. At that moment, Lu Xiaocha’s eyes lit up.
How long can such a big snake last her?
However, Lu Xiaocha was a little uncertain because the mutated animals in the post-apocalyptic world were also very large, but the meat tasted terrible. It carried a stench that could not be removed. It felt like she was stuffing feces into her mouth.
She hoped the snake didn’t smell like that. Otherwise, its ashes would be scattered.
Her petite body was incomparable to the snake, but that depended on who it was. Lu Xiaocha was overpowered!
She directly punched the python head-on. With one punch, the snake was sent flying. The skin on her hand still looked as fair and tender as before.
Yin Shian hugged his neck, his entire body trembling with excitement.
Finally… Finally, I can let other heretics experience the power of this monster!
Huge Snake: What the hell?
Amid a heaven-shaking tremor and the snake’s screams, everything finally fell silent again after ten minutes.
Yin Shian pulled the chain and ran over with small steps. He saw the dead snake.
Even though it was a creature with many bones and soft flesh, many of its bones were still broken.
Yin Shian: How terrifying!
He felt his neck begin to ache again.
Lu Xiaocha touched the snake’s wound and dipped her finger in blood to taste it. It didn’t smell that bad!
She was on her feet and felt that she could do it. If more such heretics came in the future, she would fight them!
It’s all meat…
The little girl looked at such a huge mountain of meat and drooled. She really wanted to taste such a huge snake immediately.
The dead snake was speechless.
Did the snakes dig up her ancestral grave in her previous life? Why did she want to eat all of them?!
Once she had the snake in a big ball, she was satisfied that she had time to look at other things.
Since she was already here, she should at least bring some gifts for her family.
So she zeroed in on the largest bead.
“Take down that bead for me.”
Lu Xiaocha began to command Yin Shian. She remembered that when she was fighting the snake just now, this guy was watching the show from the side!
Yin Shian nodded and swung the chain in his hand, easily removing the Night-Luminescent Pearl that needed to be held with both hands. It was extremely bright and round.
“This is for Mom.”
Lu Xiaocha happily found a box and stuffed it into the sack.
“That vase.”
She pointed with her small hand, and Yin Shian obediently carried the big vase over.
Lu Xiaocha looked at the vase with satisfaction.
“Beautiful. For Daddy.”
It’s a big one. Her dad must like it.
“That, that, that big shiny red gem. For my third brother.”
“And that big gold and white pearl. Brother’s.”
But how about Fourth Brother’s gift? Should she prepare Big Brother and Second Brother’s as well?
After some thought, she rolled up her sleeves and went to look for it herself.
After a long scrabbling, she stared at the rectangular boxes on the table in front of the Dragon Throne, one black, one white.
“What’s in here?”
She shook the white box in her arms and opened it.
Inside, a beautiful snow-white sword lay quietly. It was made of an unknown material. It was as white as jade, but it was harder and more beautiful than any steel.
