Bad people: who is not a descendant of Li Tang

Chapter 43 The King of Snakes
Bright red flowers bloomed in the green bushes, the stone walls above were covered with pale green moss, lush ivy covered the top of the cliff, and further inside, giant ancient tree branches stained with scarlet colors spread everywhere.

A withered arm moved slightly, moving the thick iron chains surrounding the body.

The sound of metal colliding sounded from all directions, and upon counting, there were dozens of chains as thick as arms.

The man with messy hair, torn plain linen clothes, and a face full of stubble and dirt woke up again and opened his chapped lips.

A few drops of tidal water dropped from the top of the cell formed by the giant tree, and fell on the cold stone platform under the man.

A burly figure stood in front of the stone platform for what seemed like a long time. A pair of gray eyes stared at the frail middle-aged man who was pulled by a giant chain and had to kneel down on the stone platform.

"Brother Xi, I'm here to see you again."

The frail middle-aged man who was tightly bound by the giant chain had only a calm expression on his face. His disheveled hair swayed slightly with his slowly shaking head, and his lips opened and closed, making a hoarse sound.

"Brother, go back, it's not too late."

The white beard on Du Gong's face moved, his gray eyes drooped, and his veined hands spread out to both sides.

"Look back. None of the things I did for my brother are for the safety and prosperity of our Miao territory? If they are all as incompetent and weak as you, how can we, the Miao territory, always protect this side of peace?"

The frail middle-aged man sighed.

"Brother really just want to protect my Miao people? That kind of secret technique shouldn't exist in the world."

"Don't destroy thousands of people in Miao territory for your own selfish desires."

Du Gong's long withered nails grabbed the frail middle-aged man's hair and pulled his head up, his gray pupils facing him squarely.

"Then how do you think my brother controlled the Ten Thousand Poison Cave, and how did he use poison to corrode your body?"

"The good king of the tribe."

The imprisoned King Jiao, who had lost his human form, opened his lips, but finally did not speak.

"By the way, brother, your good daughter is beyond my expectation."

A trace of purple-red hair hung down from Du Gong's fingers: "I never expected that she would actually get to know the orphan of the Li Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains, but..."

The king, who had always been weak, suddenly widened his eyes, and the chain that tightly locked him behind his back shook violently.

"What did you do to Chi Meng! You promised not to involve the doll before! What did you do to her!"

Du Gong chuckled softly, took back the hair between his fingers, and took two steps back.

"Brother Yu, as long as you hand over all the insect skills of Twelve Cave to my brother, I will ensure that my good niece can be reunited with you completely."

A ferocious color appeared on the face of King Jiao: "Chi Li! If you make a fuss about the doll, you will die a good death! Miao Jiang will eventually fall into eternal disaster because of you! You beast!"

Du Gong's gray pupils were emotionless, and he let out a low chuckle. He walked in front of King Jiao, and his right hand began to emit black and red gas.

"Brother Chi, all I need as a brother is the insect technique."

The veins on King Jiao's forehead popped out, and his two hands that were held high kept shaking forward: "Chi Li! You can't."

The anger that the King of Snakes had yet to spit out came to an abrupt end, and the gas from Duke Du's hand instantly rushed into the King of Snake's mouth, and the King of Snake's whole body instantly began to turn crimson.

Du Gong's gray pupils stared unblinkingly at King Jiao, who had a look of pain on his face.

I saw the King of Snakes kneeling on the stone platform making hoarse sounds of pain. His already emaciated body began to weaken like a deflated balloon. In the blink of an eye, it became a skinny human body.

"Brother Ye, please have a good taste of this withering technique."

With all his limbs freed from the shackles, King Jiao slowly fell onto the stone platform. Duke Po gave a cold snort and turned around to walk out of the tree hole.

Not long after, two Wandu Cave guards with only their eyes exposed walked in.

The drug lord's hoarse and low voice sounded from outside.

"Take it to the tribe for testing insects. Since the king's insect skills are unparalleled in the world, let him see how the tribe's insect skills are..."

...The wood chips were blown down by the shout, and a wide and long sword box had slowly taken shape.

Chi Meng's small mouth was opened into a circle, and he looked at Hou Qing who was sitting on the stone and carefully looking at the sword box with an adoring look on his face.

"Zizu, were you a carpenter before?"

Hou Qing thought for a while, then nodded: "It seems that I have been in this business for too long, so I forgot."

"Wow! That's amazing! Xiao Guo Guo, come and see, Corpse Ancestor can really do anything!"

Li Jing, who was lighting a fire over there, raised his head when he heard the sound. He fanned the smoke in front of his eyes and couldn't stop coughing.

"Isn't there some dry firewood in the forest..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fire that was still smoking in front of him suddenly burst into flames, and then burst into flames.

Li Jing was silent, and then walked in the direction of the two of them.

"No, Corpse Ancestor, it's only been a while, and it looks pretty good..."

Li Jing reached out to take the wooden sword box tailor-made for him by Corpse Ancestor. Li Jing nodded and inserted the Longquan Sword. It was just right!
Chi Meng looked at Hou Qing in surprise, and kept groping in his shoulder pocket: "I have red pepper and some salt here. Can Corpse Ancestor make a delicious meal?"

Li Jing looked at Chi Meng's pocket in surprise: "?"

Hou Qing ignored Chi Meng, stood up proudly and walked away.

"A gentleman is far away from the kitchen. Corpse Ancestor never does such a thing."

Li Jing twitched the corner of his mouth and walked towards the fire with the sword box in hand: "Chi Meng, there is some dry food here. We will boil water later. If you are hungry, you can eat some."

Chi Meng followed him with a puffy face: "It's dry and tastes terrible!"

Li Jing held her forehead, took out the dry food from the bag and put it away. She didn't care whether Chi Meng ate or not, and looked at the empress sitting on the treetop looking at the horizon alone.

After a while, Li Jing didn't know what went wrong today, so she didn't bother to care about her, so she called Hou Qing over.

"Zombie Ancestor, according to what Chi Meng said, by bypassing this forest, we can enter the sphere of influence of Ten Thousand Poison Cave. Until then, you should hide in the dark. You don't have to show up unless you have to."

Hou Qing frowned: "Shall I go for a sneak attack?"

Li Jing smiled: "I'm not asking you to be the sixth child. You just have to help us keep an eye on whether there is a tail or something. When the critical moment comes, you will directly appear on the stage and shock everyone. How suitable for the occasion, right?"

Hou Qing nodded. After all this time, Li Jing still understood him.

After Li Jing finished speaking, he drew a sketch on the ground and pointed it to Chi Meng to explain: "King Hui is definitely not as simple as being under house arrest, but it is impossible for us to know his whereabouts for the time being, so we still have to find a way to get you there." Brother Chuan, please contact me..."

"You Chuan!"

Chi Meng put his hands on his hips, glared and said angrily: "He is a traitor to our Ten Thousand Poison Cave! He will do whatever the Poison Bastard tells him to do, how could he tell us the whereabouts of my father!"

The Empress's voice sounded from behind Li Jing: "He still kept his hands on us, otherwise yesterday would not have been so easy."

Li Jing smiled slightly and looked at Chi Meng: "I've always judged people fairly accurately. You Chuan should be trustworthy. Can you still find him tomorrow?"

Chi Meng puffed up his face with dissatisfaction and bit off most of the hard biscuits that he used as dry food.

"Well... there is a way. I'm just afraid that he will join forces with the poisonous bastard to deceive us again."

Li Jing's eyes flashed with the reflection of fire, and his tone was light.

"Chi Li, if he doesn't come to me, I will go to him in the future..."

"This problem has been created, and it will be impossible not to repay it."
