I collect cultural relics in the human world

Chapter 164 Crane ()
He Si's body had not yet recovered from the cold and stiffness just now. Only the hand held by Qin Jian was warm. Almost out of instinct, the threads shot out from the tips of the fingers that were still functioning, heading straight for the snake-like long neck of the monster.

The twisting snake body was chopped off at the waist. There was no blood. After a shrill neighing sound, the severed snake body fell helplessly.

The body without the head is still standing, neither crooked nor slanted, as if it cannot feel the pain, and it maintains the elegance of the crane and walks leisurely in the courtyard. Just losing the guidance of the head, the body frequently tripped over the green pine and white stones, and then stood up again with the support of the thin legs. The remaining parts of the body rotated around, and the smooth fractures made meaningless tests, which was weird. abnormal.

The part that fell on the ground twisted violently, meandered quickly, bounced up and fell again, leaving behind a layer of fishy yellow mucus. Despite this, the snake's head never fell down, it was still held high, the bright red letter still trembled, and the blood-red eyes still stared at her, full of vicious cunning.

He Si felt that her body had become even colder, and her fingers that were still functioning were frozen to the root. Even Qin Jian could not warm her body up. She exhaled a breath of hot breath to warm her hands, and then watched the breath turn into ice in front of her.

"Chirp!" It was Xiao Jiu's cry, loud and exciting, as if he wanted to wake up He Si's body from hibernation.

He Si's mind was shaken, and a trace of clarity returned to her mind. She once again looked at the same pair of eyes that refused to admit defeat, trying to find the reason for the matter. But the more I searched, the colder I got, and the more I thought about it, the more tired I became.

I don't want to move, resist, struggle, and more importantly, I don't want to think. I just want to stand quietly like this, without seeing, listening, or processing anything, and slowly stand like a statue.

"Don't look it in the eyes."

In the confusion, He Si seemed to hear Qin Jian's voice, but her brain seemed to be frozen. She tried hard to think about Qin Jian's words, but could not make corresponding actions.

"Close your eyes."

This time, warm hands and words arrived at the same time, and He Si's eyes that had already condensed with autumn frost were gently but unquestionably closed. Her chaotic brain began to work with the pitch-black vision, and she received the information in Qin Jian's words - there was something wrong with the eyes, those bloody eyes.

He Si thought of Medusa, the succubus with venomous snake hair and eyes that could turn people to stone. But before she could match the figure from the Western world to the antique scene, the sound of the air being pierced could already be heard in her ears.

She could only hear the sound, but Qin Jian could see that the two sections of the snake's body that were still struggling on the ground jumped up from the corner of his eye, as if they had wings, and came through the air at a speed that was almost like a phantom. , hitting both of their faces directly.

Just relying on the wind in his ears, He Si struck again. The threads became even denser, mercilessly wrapping around the snake's body that was coming forward, gathering in a spiral shape, and that section of the body was torn apart section by section.

But this time, the broken snake body did not fall back to the ground as He Si expected. Instead, relying on the inertia of the speed, it continued to fly towards the two people. For a while, the hissing became louder and countless blood basins were poured out. The big mouth opened at the same time, bright red letters were flying in the air, and the fangs dripping with mucus made Qin Jian think he was hallucinating.

Xiao Jiu circled around, grabbing and dropping these molluscs with his sharp claws, but was unable to withstand the increasing number.

"Wait a minute," Qin Jian stopped He Si's hand from continuing to attack, "We can't use silk threads anymore, they will reproduce indefinitely."

"what!"

"Those bodies that were cut by you grew snake heads again and became new individuals."

With this sentence, the copper movable type began to rotate, and countless ink characters were written from Qin Jian's hand. The pen was vigorous and unrestrained, stretching out in front of the two people. It seemed sparse, but in fact it was iron painting with silver hooks, and the bones of the face. , airtight.

The path forward was blocked, and the snakes did not change direction. Instead, they allowed themselves to hit the ink-colored net connected horizontally and vertically, losing speed and finally falling to the ground. As soon as they returned to the ground, they began to swim, looking for places that could not be protected by the net, while tearing at the ink words with their fangs, trying to create a gap and launch another attack. "What should we do now?" He Si asked. The movements of her hands did not stop because of Qin Jian's words. On the contrary, she opened her eyes and followed Qin Jian's example while observing the changes around her with her peripheral vision. , while using the silk thread in his hand to reinforce the attacked character net.

Xiao Jiu stopped entangled with the snakes and returned to He Si. Her spread wings helped her cover the blood-red pupils around her.

"I don't know how the author set it up, but I think it's always right to hit the snake seven inches."

"Could it be the bright red spot on the head?" He Si didn't dare to take a closer look, but she always felt that the blood disguised as a red-crowned crane conveyed an ominous aura.

"Then try them all."

"Right."

He Si said, looking at the right moment, the two silk threads in her hands suddenly stretched straight, quickly passed through the mesh, and directly hit the two snakes closest to them. One struck seven inches, and the other fell from top to bottom towards the red color on the top of the snake.

But the two threads failed to reach each other's destination. The venom spurted out from the snake's glands, like sulfuric acid, and the threads were easily dissolved.

"what happened?"

Before He Si could take back her surprise, the snakes began to surge. As if they were suddenly inspired by this counterattack, they suddenly became enlightened. Their sharp teeth stopped gnawing and began to use venom to corrode the obstacles in front of them. Qin Jian didn't check for a while, but he actually let several snakes eat. broke in.

The snakes that broke into the net no longer blindly chased the two men. They swam around the two men, spinning closer and spitting out venom. Xiaojiu could no longer get close to the snakes, and several times the smelly liquid almost touched its raised feathers.

"It seems to have evolved."

Following Qin Jian's movements, a pill rolled out of his long sleeve and landed on the palm of his left hand. Driven by his fingertips, fireworks exploded, and the burning smell filled the air. The snakes that had just entered disappeared into the blood mist before they had time to struggle.

"It's done!" He Si congratulated while controlling the wire mesh to block the exploding flesh and blood, but before the echo of cheers disappeared from the wing, her expression changed.

The blood mist did not completely dissipate as expected. On the contrary, the mist was suspended in the air, slowly approaching each other, the broken bones gathered, and the flesh and blood adhered. Soon, the blasted residue reconstructed the original body.

The reborn snake body raised its head with a swish, and without giving He Si and Qin Jian a chance to breathe, it launched an attack directly. The hissing screams were not only evil but also meant to intimidate and show off. They did not dare to fear the venom. Xiao Jiu, who was close to him, was so anxious that he murmured frequently.

"It's okay." He Si took the time to comfort the fried bird, but she didn't know what to do. Silk thread, copper movable type, gunpowder...the two of them used all the methods they could think of, but they were defeated one by one by the other party. , or it was perfectly resolved by Yanyan's setting - He Si suddenly had a very strange feeling that this girl seemed to understand them very well - it was also possible that Yanyan was observing their behavior from a God's perspective, while analyzing, While adding new settings.

It was too foul, He Si complained in her heart, but soon, she didn't even have time to complain. The attacks of the snakes became more and more fierce, and the speed of repair gradually failed to keep up with the speed of corrosion. Qin Jian used gunpowder to force the snakes to regenerate and slow down the frequency of their attacks, while building a new protection network with He Si.

"I have never seen this kind of creature. Is there any way to do it? Is there a similar link in your... game?"
