Free Web NovelChapter 1158: Chapter 1157: Encountering the Snake Pit
"How could it not be killed with one sword strike?"
Seeing this scene, Lin Fan’s face revealed a look of shock, hardly able to believe his eyes!
Although Lin Fan didn’t use his full strength with that sword strike, the powerful force was something ordinary people couldn’t withstand!
However, the sword hit the giant snake, only leaving a trace of blood on its body, which was utterly abnormal!
But at this moment, the giant snake rushed at him again, not giving Lin Fan any time to think. Its bloody mouth getting closer, filled with a strong scent of blood, made people feel nauseated!
Lin Fan dared not be careless. He quickly retreated two steps, distancing himself from the giant snake before swinging the sword again!
This time, Lin Fan used full force, channeling his Powerful Qi, enveloping the soft sword!
"Swish~"
The soft sword sliced through the void, leaving a dazzling cold light, as if tearing the void apart!
Soon, the soft sword fell, fiercely striking the giant snake!
"Ding," a crisp sound echoed!
The sharp blade hit the giant snake’s body again, producing an ear-piercing sound!
But this time, the giant snake couldn’t withstand Lin Fan’s attack; its body was slashed by the soft sword, causing blood to gush out wildly!
"Roar~"
The giant snake let out a hysterical scream, its body falling from the air to the ground, rolling continuously, its tail thrashing and raising dust!
Lin Fan dared not be careless, gripping the soft sword to slash quickly again!
"Swish swish swish!"
Three flashes of cold light flickered through the air!
Because Lin Fan’s sword speed was so fast, three swords seemed to cut down simultaneously, overlapping as if Lin Fan only struck once!
"Roar~"
The giant snake let out a final scream, its massive body split in two by the soft sword, utterly motionless!
Afterward, Lin Fan flicked the blood off the soft sword and turned to look at Nie Lei and the others, only to find them staring ahead, their expressions frozen in surprise!
This scene caused Lin Fan’s brows to furrow instantly as he looked forward!
In front of him was a slightly illuminated, expansive area, where towering trees grew. The trees were very tall; their tops reached the cave ceiling!
The trees were bizarrely shaped, their trunks gray, with gray leaves, devoid of green, looking lifeless!
And coiled around these trees were giant snakes, with a terrifying pit directly ahead. Shockingly, the pit was filled with snakes, like a snake pit!
Various snakes flicked their blood-red tongues continuously, looking extremely fierce!
"Damn! What kind of monstrosity is this? It’s utterly terrifying!"
Nie Lei gasped, speaking with his heavy weapon tightly gripped, ready to mercilessly pull the trigger at any sign of danger!
Lin Fan’s previous slaying of the giant snake disturbed these serpents, causing the tree-side snakes to crawl down and those in the pit to climb out, moving toward Lin Fan and the others!
"Damn! Did we enter a snake den?" Nalan Qiankun exclaimed.
"Retreat quickly!"
Lin Fan dared not be careless, waving his hand and urgently retreating with Nie Lei and others!
Yet, as Lin Fan and the others retreated, the serpents hesitated not for a moment, crawling at high speed in an S-shape over the ground, like lightning!
"We... won’t die here, right?" Xiang’Er said fearfully!
"What is there to fear? We have guns; these beasts can’t stand against us!" Nie Lei shouted, his finger poised over the trigger, ready to unleash a devastating barrage on Lin Fan’s command!
But Lin Fan stopped Nie Lei, saying, "Don’t open fire yet; follow my orders!"
In Huaxia, various myths abound; creatures like snakes, hedgehogs, and foxes are believed to possess spiritual intelligence. Moreover, this ancient tomb has existed for hundreds of years, implying these snakes may have survived for hundreds of years!
Snakes living for so long may likely display intelligence, and Lin Fan is not a butcher. Killing all these hundreds or thousands of snakes would certainly be too bloody!
"Let me try!"
At this moment, Miao Qiaomei suddenly stepped forward, speaking.
"What method do you have?" Lin Fan asked in confusion.
"Our Miao Race has always been great friends with snakes. Let me see if I can persuade them to leave!" Miao Qiaomei said.
With no alternative, Lin Fan nodded!
Miao Qiaomei then clasped her hands together, making peculiar gestures, whispering incantations.
Soon, her arms began to sway, and two bells tied on her wrists jingled, creating a melodious sound!
"Jingle jingle~" "Jingle jingle~"
The sound appeared magical, unsettling listeners!
"You are our most loyal partners; now, we desire to pass through here. Partners, please clear a path for us; we will not harm you, please leave!"
Miao Qiaomei spoke softly, her arms swaying faster, filling the cave with ringing!
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
The leading giant snake hissed, froze in place, then turned toward another direction!
"They really left!" Nie Lei exclaimed excitedly!
"I never thought the Miao People dealt with snakes so skillfully!" Nalan Qiankun remarked!
Following the lead snake’s departure, the other serpents paused, turning and scattering!
Before long, the countless snakes disappeared entirely, leaving not a single one!
"Whew!"
Witnessing this, Lin Fan breathed heavily!
Handling these snakes would indeed have been incredibly daunting!
"Thanks!" Lin Fan apologized to Miao Qiaomei!
"It’s nothing! We are partners!" Miao Qiaomei chuckled.
Lin Fan smiled, nodding, carefully observing the surroundings and finding no further danger. He waved his arm decisively, shouting, "Everyone, stay alert, don’t lower your guard, move forward immediately!"
"Understood!"
Nie Lei and the others shouted in unison!
Afterward, the group cautiously advanced forward, stepping into this bizarre forest!
