Chapter 267 The Lair of the Snake Cypress
Chapter 267 The Lair of the Snake Cypress
"Honey, it seems to be telling you that something is underwater."
Huo Ling watched the large black snake's movements in amazement and said to Cheng Feng.
"It seems I'll have to go down into the water. You all go to Evil Luo Sea City and wait for me for a moment. I'll be right back."
Cheng Feng was worried about leaving the women here, so he decided to keep them with him.
It's better to be safe than sorry. If he encounters any danger while he's away, it will be too late to regret it.
Chen Wenjin and the others were all understanding and did not raise any objections to Cheng Feng on this matter.
Then Cheng Feng used his ability to transform his realm to bring the girls into the imaginary space through the Evil Luo Sea City.
Only the new snake king was left on the shore, looking around blankly.
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
After giving instructions to the Black-haired Snake King, Cheng Feng jumped into the underground river.
He fell into the water without making a sound; his entire body blended into the water very smoothly.
The white snake was naive, thinking that hiding underwater meant no one could harm it.
Unfortunately, what it didn't know was that Cheng Feng could come and go freely even from the Ruins of Return, let alone this small underground river.
After entering the water, Cheng Feng felt as if every drop of water around him was cheering.
The Water Demon's Six Arts—Listening to the Sound of Waves and Gazing at the Color of Jade—became extremely terrifying with the amplification of the Water Control Technique.
Just a few seconds later, Cheng Feng sensed the location of the white snake hiding at the bottom of the underground river.
"This thing is a half-finished product of the memory-based longevity method; it actually has considerable research value."
The system reward was a digging pangolin, something Shirley's grandfather had left her, and she wasn't in a rush to use it.
After pondering for a moment, Cheng Feng withdrew the force he was about to unleash with his River-Turning Hand technique.
This white snake has high research value, so Cheng Feng decided to let it live a little longer.
"Still hiding? The snake's tail is showing."
Cheng Feng's fingers twitched slightly, and the Water Ghost Technique, carrying this information, entered White's mind.
The white snake froze instantly, and its gall bladder almost vomited out from fright.
Just as it was about to run away, the surrounding water seemed to suddenly come to life.
They all transformed into the strongest ropes, enveloping it from head to toe, making it unable to move no matter how hard it tried.
"Behave yourself and you might survive, otherwise I'll chop off your head and rip out your snake gall."
Regardless of whether the threat worked, Cheng Feng used the water flow to carry the twelve or thirteen-meter-long white snake away from the riverbed.
A short while later, Cheng Feng arrived at the river surface and then stepped back onto the concrete bank by walking on the water.
Then Cheng Feng waved towards the water, and the white snake was pushed to the shore by the water.
Then Cheng Feng opened his Boundless Demon Eyes, put away the white snake, and casually tossed it onto a sea willow boat floating on the sea.
Since it likes water, let it play in the sea. Hopefully, it won't run into its ancestor, the South China Sea dragon.
"I'll have to trouble you to help me find the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress itself. Since you're leaving, there's no need to leave it behind."
After Cheng Feng dealt with the white snake, he spoke to the black-haired snake king.
The Snake King nodded.
It witnessed all of Feng's deeds along the way, including moving a city out of thin air.
In the blink of an eye, they caught the white snake in the water.
Everything indicates that the one before them is indeed a true god, and it dares not and does not want to disobey Cheng Feng's wishes.
"Having dealt with the Hydra Cypress, this journey is now complete."
With that in mind, Cheng Feng used his Mirror Transformation to bring the four women out.
"It's been resolved so quickly?"
Huo Ling said with some regret as soon as she came out.
"It might take it a while to hide somewhere else, but in the water, haha!"
Cheng Feng chuckled lightly. To him, the white snake was no different from walking into a trap.
Where do we go next?
"Let's go find the Hydra Cypress. That guy is quite cowardly. Let's go directly to its lair as guests."
Cheng Feng waved his hand, and the Black-haired Snake King swayed its body and crawled in front of the group to lead the way.
The group followed the black-haired snake king into the tunnel.
This time, the Black-haired Snake King led the group into an even narrower passage.
Judging from the condition of this passage, it's likely that Zhang Qishan's group never actually entered.
There are holes of various sizes on both sides of the passage, each one extremely deep, and it is unknown where they lead.
As the group reached the middle of the tunnel, Cheng Feng's gaze sharpened, and he said in a deep voice:
No wonder no one comes in through this road…
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of thick vines swarmed out from these holes and swept towards the group indiscriminately.
At the critical moment, a red flame ignited, instantly illuminating the entire passage.
The vines, caught off guard, ignited instantly upon contact and spread rapidly into the depths of the small hole.
Unfortunately, the Hydra Cypress chose to make a drastic sacrifice, and the dragon fire burned all the remaining vines to ashes before gradually extinguishing itself.
"That scared me to death! Luckily, the head of the household acted in time; that vine was only a fist's distance away from me."
It almost caught me.
Cheng Feng stroked Huo Ling's long, black hair and comforted her:
"A fist's distance is actually longer than the life of a Hydra Cypress in my eyes; it has no chance of touching you."
Given Cheng Feng's reaction speed, even if he took the opportunity to light a cigarette while he was a fist away, Hydra Cypress wouldn't have a chance to touch Huo Ling.
The several evolutions of the Yan Emperor's bloodline had brought Cheng Feng to a terrifying level, which was why he dared to enter the capital alone.
The reason for placing the Unloading Ridge faction under the world's watchful eye.
"It's just that the Nine-Headed Cypress didn't have legs, otherwise it would have run as far away as possible from Old Cheng."
Chen Wenjin had no doubt about Cheng Feng's words, which was evident from the fact that they were both finding it increasingly difficult to keep up in bed together.
As they spoke, the group and the Snake King continued forward along the tunnel.
As it got closer to the true form of the Hydra Cypress, it began to become restless.
Cheng Feng heard sounds approaching from the holes on both sides several times, but retreated just before rushing out.
The Nine-Headed Cypress was both eager to kill and terrified.
No matter how terrified it was, the footsteps continued to echo in the passageway, getting closer and closer.
Finally, a few minutes later, the group emerged from the passage and arrived at a circular altar perched atop a cliff.
"Compared to that temple, this is probably the real place of worship!"
Led by Cheng Feng, the group walked to the edge of the altar. After seeing the situation below, the women couldn't help but sigh.
Under the beam of the flashlight, a huge tree canopy, hundreds of meters in diameter, could be seen beneath the altar.
The tree canopy was covered with vines, and countless corpses were tied to the vines and hung from the tree.
This is only what you can see on the surface; there are likely many more corpses beneath the tree canopy.
"Each corpse here contains hundreds or even thousands of corpse beetles."
Only such a massive swarm of carrion beetles could sustain the black-haired snakes' current population size.
As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, the Black-haired Snake King nodded, indicating his agreement with Cheng Feng's words.
It really wanted to say that the corpse beetle was not tasty, even though it dragged its huge body around and still went to great lengths to catch mice to improve its diet.
