The Snake with Only One Eye
A large demon, accompanied by two smaller demons, slowly walked ashore. The large demon was Kayako, and the two smaller demons were Toshio and Jason.
To reiterate, Jason was 196cm tall and weighed 113kg, but he was just a young boy when he died. He grew to be so strong because of the hormones that are more beneficial in the America.
Boom!!!
The fire dragon roared, its blazing red flames illuminating the Cavern. Duan Xinlan, controlling the fire dragon to entangle the three monsters.
Kayako and Toshio's faces immediately contorted, their features turning into black holes, their gaping mouths spewing black filth, and with a scream, they evaporated into black smoke.
Jason stood silently in the flames, neither resisting nor moving. His Great Cleaver turned red-hot from the intense heat and melted along with him.
The three ghosts came quickly and left quickly; it's uncertain whether they were completely eliminated, so we can only tentatively define them as having been repelled once.
Russell stood by the river, gazing thoughtfully at Jason's ashes. Just then, a female corpse floated into the cold water. The woman was completely submerged, her hands stiff and white, her black fingernails longer than her fingers. She wore a blue robe, and her long hair covered her face up to her waist. She slowly drifted to Russell's feet.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—
Russell drew his Desert Eagle, unleashing a torrent of Mana Bullet that blasted the female corpse into a bloody pulp.
The water surged and carried the female corpse slowly away. Throughout the entire process, the female corpse did not move at all, just like a real corpse.
"Is that... is that Chu Renmei?" Duan Xinlan asked after the female corpse had drifted away.
"I don't know, I didn't see the face... No, even if I saw the face, I wouldn't recognize it."
Russell continued staring at Jason's corpse without turning his head, saying that he had encountered Freddy in his dreams and witnessed many similar scenes, which he still remembered vividly, so he wasn't particularly afraid.
Ahead, Jason's body began to reconstruct itself, as if time had reversed, with the Great Cleaver and mask completely intact.
Russell raised his hand to block Duan Xinlan, first shattering Jason's knife-wielding arm with a high-damage Mana Bullet, then firing three more shots that hit his knee and shoulder.
Russell strode over and, before Jason had fully recovered, stored the Great Cleaver and mask in his Space Ring.
"What are you doing?" Duan Xinlan asked in surprise.
"It's just a personal hobby; these two props might come in handy." Russell casually replied. Duan Xinlan had met his underling Jason before, so there was no point in making up a lie.
On the other side, Ying Yingying released a sealing spell, sealing Jason inside the scroll and eliminating any possibility of his resurrection.
"Something's not right. Four ghosts have appeared in such a short time, and three of them are foreign ghosts. They don't seem to have anything to do with ancient China civilization." Ying Yingying held the scroll and pondered for a moment, "The bronze gate from before was probably also a ghost, but it was destroyed by the Reincarnator before us."
"Vice Captain, according to you, could this be the ruins of a ghostly civilization?" Jian Shaoxin's face turned pale. Before meeting Russell, her greatest fear was ghosts.
"It's just speculation right now, there are too few clues. We'll find out the details as we move forward." Ying Yingying tried to put the scroll into her Space Ring, but failed three times in a row. She frowned and stuffed it into her bosom.
The group moved a little away from the river and were preparing to go deeper when Russell needed to pee again.
"Why do you always have to pee at crucial moments?" Ying Yingying asked with a strange expression. Kang Xi nodded in agreement. Last time when she and Russell were on a solo mission, Russell had peed halfway through.
"When it comes to the three urgent needs of life, it can come anytime, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Russell shrugged and walked behind him. He had only taken two steps when a group of girls followed him.
"What are you doing? Can't you understand that I'm peeing?"
"The situation is unclear, so it's better not to separate. Don't worry, we'll turn around when you shush us, no one will peek." Ying Yingying rolled her eyes. It's not like it's pure gold, is it necessary to hide it like this?
Just because you don't peek doesn't mean others won't. Believe me, I can tell you one right now.
Russell muttered a silent complaint and walked past the girls, saying, "I suddenly don't feel like peeing anymore. I'll take care of it up ahead."
"So much to do!"
The group continued forward, and the sloping stone path gradually widened, revealing cracks in the ground on the other side.
The further you go, the greater the crack widens, eventually forming a sheer cliff. The cliff's depth is unknown; no matter how much Illumination Spell or powerful beams are shone down, it's all pitch black with no end in sight.
To the left was an underground river from which ghosts might leap out at any moment, and to the right was a bottomless abyss. Everyone felt that the Cavern was extremely eerie and subconsciously quickened their pace.
Following the underground river to its end, the water rushes into a cave beneath the stone wall, where the thick, damp stone wall blocks the way. On the other side is a narrow stone path carved out by man, clinging to the stone wall and only shoulder-width wide; a misstep would send one tumbling into the abyss.
Submerging into the waterway was absolutely impossible; who knew what might be waiting for them in the water? Ying Yingying took out Flying Carpet and led everyone forward along the stone path.
The cliffs of Liangren Mountain are steep and sheer, with no visible top or bottom, accessible only by a single stone path. As the path descends, the boundless darkness envelops the group, and the pressure of their impaired vision makes it difficult for them to breathe.
"To be honest, I'm starting to regret it. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to go through the waterways. A direct confrontation would have been much better than this," Russell suddenly said, startling everyone.
The atmosphere is too oppressive; we have to liven things up, otherwise people will scare Deadman.
Everyone understood this principle, and they started making awkward small talk. As they talked, someone mentioned cosmetics and bags, and the atmosphere instantly became lively, with a cacophony of chatter like thousands of ducks quacking.
Russell was dismayed to discover that, as the one who broke the silence first, he couldn't get a word in edgewise!
Besides him, there was another person who hadn't joined the chat group: Ying Yingying, who was completely focused on controlling the Flying Carpet. Judging from her physique, cosmetics and bags weren't really her thing; she usually shopped in the children's section.
After advancing for about ten minutes, the stone path clinging to the cliff widened to about two meters. Ying Yingying lowered her Flying Carpet, allowing everyone to walk instead.
She should use her Magic Power sparingly, just in case.
Rumble!!!
The two-edged cliffs suddenly trembled violently, and a rumbling roar echoed from the abyss below. Everyone lay prostrate on the ground, fearing they would fall into the abyss. Guan Yin's Iron Man Suit deployed its thrusters on the back, leaned forward, and shone a powerful beam of light. A black streak of light flashed by, and her enormous form seemed to move as if the earth itself was shifting, with faint reflections of black scales visible.
The trembling sound stopped abruptly, and at the end of the abyss, a huge Golden Vertical Pupil opened, facing the bright light from afar.
Rumble—
The Black Scaled Giant Beast had gone far away, leaving Guan Yin until Ying Yingying pulled her up, bringing her back to her senses with a cold sweat pouring down her face.
"What's wrong? What did you see?"
Guan Yin swallowed hard, struggling to find the words: "A snake! A really, really big snake... it seems to only have one eyeball!"
"An eyeball?"
"Yes, it's in the middle of the head!" Guan Yin a chick pecking at rice; she couldn't stand this awful place for even a second longer.
We've discovered a new alliance leader, 'P0cKy'. We'll add an extra chapter tomorrow or the day after to make up for it.
