Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 299: Slaying the Evil God with a Sword
That chilly feeling is so real.

So much so that even through the black cloth, Yang Fang seemed to be able to see it.

A two-meter-long black snake, as thick as an arm, with a tumor on its head, crawled out from the crack of the cliff, wrapped around his wrist, and stared at him with its head raised.

The scarlet snake's tongue swayed back and forth in the air.

The next moment, it will pass across his face.

The chilly wind in the tunnel was bone-chilling.

But this chill went straight to the top of one's head, making one's soul tremble and feel creepy. On the arm where the black snake had crawled, countless goose bumps appeared.

Yang Fang gritted his teeth.

But he couldn't suppress the trembling in his voice.

I want to escape.

But the tunnel beneath him was so narrow that it was difficult to turn around. Moreover, judging from the current movement, the entire tunnel seemed to have been submerged by a tide of snakes.

The hissing sound, the crisscrossing sound of iron leaves and scales, and the rustling sound of the snake's belly crawling across the ground and cliff walls.

Zoom in through a long and narrow tunnel.

When it falls into the ears, the effect is even more terrifying.

It seemed as if they would be buried by the snake tide in the next moment.

"What to do?"

"Manager Chen, if this continues, I'm afraid we will all be buried in the snake's belly."

Seeing that several people around him had stopped, Yang Fang knew that they must have heard the noise, but they did not respond, which made him very confused.

Now is not the time to be silent.

One wrong step means life and death.

Before, outside the stone bridge, the fellow who was exploring the way was just bitten by a black snake, and his whole body became like an old clay statue in a temple collapsed by heavy rain.

It took less than two breaths.

The flesh and blood melted away, leaving no bones behind.

That scene kept flashing through his mind like lightning.

It also made him even more uneasy.

The snake tide is getting closer and closer. If we don’t make plans now, are we really going to just sit there and wait for death?

"Don't panic, Brother Yang Fang."

"If it's really a snake tide, do you think we still have a chance of survival?"

I could hear the impatience and panic in his tone.

Chen Yulou, who had been silent all this time, seemed to finally come to his senses and spoke softly with profound meaning.

"What...what do you mean?"

Yang Fang was stunned and confused.

The black snake beside him was almost sticking to his face, and the fishy smell rushed straight into his nose, making him feel indescribably nauseous. How could it be fake?

Not only him, but also the three people next to him.

If sounds can be imitated, is it possible that smells and evil spirits can also be faked?

And the most important point.

If only one person felt it, it could be explained as an illusion, but now all five of them heard it so clearly, it couldn't be possible that they were all hallucinating?

"Brother Yang, do you think that black snake is dangerous?"

Seeing the changes in their expressions, Chen Yulou could guess what they were thinking. After a little thought, he changed the way he asked.

"of course."

"I'm not bragging. Although I, Yang Fang, have been in the martial arts world for a short time, only a few years, I have spent most of these years in the mountains and forests."

“We encountered dozens, if not hundreds, of snakes.”

"But nothing can be more poisonous than it, not even a mountain or a branding iron."

Yang Fang nodded.

Although he grew up on both sides of the Yellow River, he mostly traveled around Guichuan. Poisonous creatures were rampant in those deep mountains and forests, and countless people died at Shekou every year.

But even the snake catchers are terrified by the mountain.

After being bitten, even if there is no cure, the animal can only survive for three to five days. Eventually, the venom seeps into the bone marrow and heart veins, causing death in pain.

But once you are bitten by this black snake, your whole body will fester and melt instantly.

He had never even heard of such a strange poison.

I think even the legendary red crane's crown can't compare to it, right?
"What about speed?"

Chen Yulou did not respond, but continued to ask.

Hearing this, Yang Fang subconsciously recalled the scene outside the ancient well in Gumo Prefecture that day.

The strange snake that jumped out of the barrel was like a flash of black lightning.

Even though they were all martial artists with senses far superior to those of ordinary people, they could only sense it vaguely and had no time to react, let alone take action to stop it.

In other words, Chen Yulou’s strength is amazing.

Take action brazenly.

Otherwise, Hua Maguai would have been dead long ago.

There is no chance of living to this day.

He didn't understand why Mr. Chen asked this question, but he always felt that he must have other intentions, so he answered honestly.

"Naturally, it is unrivaled."

"If that's the case..." Chen Yulou spread his hands and changed the subject, "We have already fallen into the snake tide, why haven't any black snakes attacked us yet?"

"This……"

Hear this.

Several people only felt a buzzing in their heads.

It was as if a bolt of thunder had fallen.

Yes.

Judging from the noise, the black snakes had clearly surrounded them.

Given their brutality, they are definitely not good people.

Is it possible to let them go so easily?

I'm afraid he has already been eaten alive.

"Brother Chen, do you mean...illusion?"

Partridge Whistle frowned.

Ever since he witnessed everything in the tomb of the Queen of Jingjue above his head, he no longer dared to make decisions lightly.

"Most likely."

Chen Yulou nodded.

Nothing is final.

Even though he swept his spiritual sense through the white tunnel and found nothing in it, the sound of the surging snakes in his ears became stronger and stronger.

The corpse-scented konjac was burned cleanly by his spiritual fire.

There is absolutely no possibility of chaos happening again.

and so……

There are only two possibilities.

One is the snake god under the ghost cave who controls the ability to transform the realm.

The second is the evil god Mahakala who strikes Thunder Mountain.

But he couldn't tell who was behind this for the time being.

"how come?"

"Illusion? Hex?"

"If this is true, it's too damn real, isn't it?"

Hearing what he said, everyone looked incredulous.

Especially Yang Fang, at this moment, he could even feel that the black snake was completely close to him, and its slippery and cold tongue gently stroked the bridge of his nose.

A touch that couldn't be more real.

He had a strong urge to tear off the black cloth on his face and take a look.

"Remember what I said before?"

"Everything that exists is false!"

"If you really can't let go of your fear, try closing your ears."

Chen Yulou actually knew very well and understood their thoughts.

Because, from what he could feel at this moment, a black snake had landed on his shoulder and was wrapping around his neck, as if it regarded him as its prey and was trying to strangle it to death.

It felt like scales of iron leaves scratching across my neck, and a cold, damp breath hit me in the face.

The chill rushed from my feet to my head.


If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have cried out in shock because they couldn't bear it anymore.

But the divine sense swept through.

The neck was clearly empty, as always, there was nothing.

However, although he seemed calm, there was an indelible solemnity between his brows.

To be able to be so real.

It also illustrates the opponent's formidability from another level.

This kind of magic mirror is absolutely beyond the reach of the corpse-scented konjac and the prophet's stone box. It is almost completely consistent with the real world.

Be in it.

It was also an extremely huge test for the five of them.

Regardless of mood or insight.

Once he could no longer bear it and his mind collapsed, he didn't dare to say what the result would be, but it was certain that his mind would be completely trapped in an illusion and he would sink into eternal damnation.

So, he decisively put forward a suggestion.

Neither seen nor heard.

Covering the eyes with a black scarf is considered to have achieved the first point.

If they don't hear, they will lose their hearing in a short period of time.

But this was like being deaf and blind. If he really encountered danger, he would be unable to react or respond. All the pressure was on him alone.

"I'll try."

Upon hearing this method.

There was no way Yang Fang would delay any further.

In just a short while, he was almost going crazy, as the snake outside his body had already crawled along his arm and all the way to his head.

My scalp almost exploded.

Although I tried my best to tell myself that it was all an illusion and not to think too much about it.

But the rustling sound of the snake's crawling was pervasive, and the feeling of its scales scraping across his scalp had already brought him to the brink of collapse. How could he really ignore it?

Immediately stimulate the qi and blood.

Seal the ears forcefully.

If possible, he could even seal off the remaining four senses and five consciousnesses.

Otherwise, with his personality, sooner or later he would not be able to hold back and would kill madly with the whip in hand.

hum-

The moment when both ears are sealed.

A slight buzzing sounded, and then... all the sounds outside were blocked out, and in an instant, he seemed to have fallen into water.

The eyes cannot see and the ears cannot hear.

But the numbing sensation on my scalp, as if it were an electric shock, disappeared all of a sudden.

"it works!"

Feel it all.

Yang Fang couldn't help but exclaimed.

In his several years of tomb-robbing career, this was definitely the most bizarre experience he had ever had.

His previous skills of dividing gold to locate burial sites, fortune telling, observing the stars and examining the pulse were completely useless. Even his best skills of fighting and suppressing were of no use.

Having a lot of skills is useless.

But there is nothing I can do.

That feeling is really uncomfortable.

"Really useful?"

The old foreigner was actually suffering as well.

It's just that his character is more resolute than Yang Fang's. After all, as a descendant of Zagrama, he has to suffer unimaginable pain since birth.

But that’s all.

At this moment, he felt that there were poisonous snakes everywhere around his feet, sides, ears, head, and shoulders.

The whole person was surrounded by a tide of snakes.

Safety is like falling into a snake cave.

So, when he heard Yang Fang's surprised voice, he responded immediately.

Unfortunately, Yang Fang's ears were completely blocked.

And could not hear his question.

Just talking to himself.

"Damn it, this is really an illusion. If this is possible, I don't want to stay in this damn place for even a minute longer."

"Luckily I held back and didn't tear open the black scarf, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Listen to him mumbling to himself.

The old foreigner's last bit of doubt was completely dispelled. Without further delay, he also stimulated the blood to flow upstream through the eight extraordinary meridians from the chest and sealed the ears.

really.

The noisy and eerie noises suddenly stopped.

Just like when the stone door was closed before, the footsteps disappeared.

Noticing his change, Kunlun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to do the same thing.

"Brother Dao?"

The actions of the three people were all under Chen Yulou's observation.

Seeing that Partridge Whistle didn't move, he couldn't help but urge him.

"I don't have to. I can still bear it."

"If something unexpected happens, Yang can still take action and form a pincer attack with Brother Chen to provide support."

Feeling his determination, Chen Yulou thought about it and did not refuse.

Among the five people in the group, Partridge Whistle is much stronger than Yang Fang and the others. Judging from the aura flowing around him, he has at least reached the third level of Qi training.

Just one step away from breaking the window paper.

Enter the foundation-building stage.

Although it is still not good enough in front of the Snake God, it is enough to deal with the illusion at the moment.

Just keep your mind calm at all times.

You won’t fall into depravity easily.

In addition, as he said at the end, if something really happened, it would be difficult for him to take care of everyone by himself in such a narrow tunnel.

"Alright."

"Then I will lead the way, and my brother will follow behind."

Chen Yulou said softly, and asked him to take out the Sky-piercing Rope.

Kunlun and his men blocked their eyes and ears, but they were still able to convey messages in a timely manner using ropes.

Wrapping the rope around his wrist, Chen Yulou did not hesitate and walked straight towards the front of the tunnel.

As soon as he moved, Kunlun, Yang Fang and the old foreigner who were following closely behind him immediately sensed it and immediately stood up to catch up. As for the last one, Partridge Whistle, he could clearly hear the movements around him.

Even at this moment, the footsteps of the crowd were almost inaudible amid the rustling of the snake scales.

That's right.

The surrounding black snakes seemed to be angered by their indifferent reaction.

They all raised their heads, flicked their tongues, and shook their scales.

The sounds intertwined, like a volcanic eruption.

Even though Partridge Whistle knew that everything was an illusion, he couldn't help but purse his lips, with murderous intent floating between his brows.

Moving forward, Chen Yulou would count silently in his mind with every step he took.

"thirty-seven!"

Wait until this number pops up in your mind.

He suddenly felt something in his heart, an indescribable throbbing emerged.

Subconsciously, I turned around and looked back.

Even his eyes were covered with a black scarf like the people behind him.

But a wisp of spiritual consciousness suddenly rushed out from the Niwan Palace and headed straight for the darkness behind.

In the tunnel they had just passed through.

Thick fog covered the area.

But among them... there was a shadow that appeared at some point.

It was blurry, with a human-like body, like a ghost, staring at them.

But the strange thing was that when the spiritual consciousness rushed through, the shadow was like a mirror, shattered in an instant and merged into the black fog, and the next moment, it reappeared out of thin air at the original place.

"spirits?"

"Or... the evil god Daikokuten?"

This scene is so familiar.

So much so that his thoughts were suddenly drawn to the back mountain of Malu Village half a year ago.

It's been so long since I entered this world where demons are rampant and strange things are lurking.

He actually understood that folk rumors were probably all fabricated.

"Brother Chen...what's wrong?"

Noticing that he suddenly stopped, Partridge Whistle was startled and asked in a deep voice.

But Chen Yulou did not respond.

Instead, he reached behind him, drew the sword from the scabbard with a clang, and then snapped his fingers.

brush--

A ray of invisible sword energy instantly penetrated the heavy fog and appeared outside the black shadow.

This sword is a test.

It also exudes a killing momentum.

I was already upset by what happened just now.

Chen Yulou doesn't care whether it is a devil or an evil god.

He had only one goal on this trip.

That is the snake god.

So this sword is extremely sharp.

In addition to its sharpness, the most astonishing thing about Lu Zu's sword intent is the extremely yang and fierce Taoist true energy.

The mother snake in the underground lake is proof of this.

Even if one has been a demon for a hundred years, his soul will be shattered by one sword.

hum!
I saw.

The sword energy whizzed past.

In an instant, the black shadow that had just condensed was cut into countless pieces.

but……

Chen Yulou didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

next moment.

In the mist, a dark shadow slowly took shape again.
