Chapter 56 Beauty Snake

Fu Zhaozhao suddenly said: "These should not be the reasons why you can't leave here. You are unwilling to leave for other reasons."

She probably didn't expect that this matter would be spoken out. The chained woman lowered her eyes and remained silent. She could only touch the monster lying on her lap with her hands from time to time.

Perhaps it was because it felt so comfortable to be touched. The monster with the head of a human and a body of a snake couldn't help but make a grunting sound in its throat. It closed its eyes tightly and looked very comfortable. It didn't look as arrogant as before.

After the woman was silent for a moment, she sighed: "Look carefully, these things are indeed not the reason why I am tied up."

Then she patted the monster's back gently and continued: "When I first met Zhizhi, she was no bigger than my palm. She was so small that she didn't move much. At that time, I was always afraid of her. Can’t survive.”

"Fortunately, Zhizhi is very easy to take care of and seldom worries me. According to them, Zhizhi can live for a long time. Even if everyone is gone, she will be fine."

As if hearing the woman talking about her, Zhizhi's ears moved in her sleep, and then she got closer to the woman.

"As you all know, Zhizhi is very special. I was worried about leaving her alone outside, so I used a special method to survive."

The woman said faintly: "Maybe they have lived too long, and their descendants were also afraid of us. In the end, they locked us up here and asked us to make some kind of beautiful snake for them."

Fu Zhaozhao felt a little strange when he heard this: "Is it born like this? Is it not caused by man?!"

The woman nodded: "Zhizhi was picked up by me next to a rock on the mountain, and I watched her hatch with my own eyes. Of course it is different from the other semi-finished products later."

Qi Guanshan suddenly said: "The semi-finished products you are talking about are the ones outside, missing arms and lower body? They should have been human beings. Why would you hurt your own kind for a monster?"

The woman did not speak, but her eyes fell firmly on him. After a while, she said: "Zhizhi is not a monster, she is my family; and success always comes with sacrifice."

Zhizhi, who was sleeping on her lap, may have sensed the woman's mood swings. She woke up from her dream and tilted her head to look at her in confusion, obviously not understanding why she was angry.

The woman patted Zhizhi's hand and asked her to continue lying next to her. Probably due to some mood swings, she couldn't help but cough twice.

"Do you know what is the most important step in making a beauty snake?"

Fu Zhaozhao shook his head: "I don't quite understand this."

Qi Guanshan seemed to have guessed something and frowned.

The woman chuckled lightly, then coughed twice before saying, "It's Zhizhi, my most important Zhizhi."

Qi Guanshan: "It's its blood, right?"

The woman smiled and nodded: "You are smarter than I thought."

Qi Guanshan smiled mockingly and said nothing.

The woman continued: "Zhizhi's blood is one of the raw materials for making the beauty snake. Only her blood can allow people to fuse with the snake."

"But they were too greedy. Zhizhi was caught and bled over and over again. The most serious one was that they almost drained all the blood from Zhizhi's body." The woman said slowly, as if returning to the original scene.

“Later they discovered that only what Zhizhi was willing to give could make a successful beauty snake, so they found me.”

Only Fu Zhaozhao still seemed puzzled. “What does this have to do with your unwillingness to leave here?”

The woman laughed self-deprecatingly and continued: "They found me and asked me to persuade Zhizhi. Because Zhizhi was raised by me and she has always only listened to me. In order to prevent them from forcing Zhizhi, I had no choice but to Agree and let them only take blood three times a month."

"But they were afraid that I would run away with Zhizhi, and finally found someone to put a curse on me."

On the night of the spell, the rain outside kept falling, falling on her ears, and her heart beat slower and slower. She even felt that she would never see the sun again the next day. .

Yet that's exactly what happened.

She raised her hand, and the chain clanked in the air. The next moment, the chain fell off the woman's wrist.

"As you said before, these things are not the reason why I am tied up and cannot leave here." The woman suddenly asked: "How long do you think I have lived?"

Fu Zhaozhao shook his head: "I can't tell."

"368 years." The woman sneered, "348 of them were spent here. I can't leave here because they found someone to put a curse on me. As long as I leave this tower, the first moment the sun falls on me , I will die."

"Actually, the first two hundred years were fine. But later on, the food became less and less, and there were more and more semi-finished products and failed products in the cage. There was not enough food for the monks."

When the woman said this, she suddenly stopped and looked gently at the monster with a human head and a snake body.

"Thanks to Zhizhi, she kept me alive."

"There was not enough food, so she tried to find food for me, and that's how we survived until now. Unfortunately, the food in this tower is limited after all, and I finished the last food half a month ago."

The woman spoke in a vague way, but the listener suddenly understood what the food she was talking about represented.

The remaining tooth marks on the bones outside and the sucked-out marrow all prove this.

The woman didn't seem to care at all that they knew about this. Instead, she smiled and continued: "I was very uncomfortable with it at first, but then I thought about how they relied on Zhizhi to survive, so I let it go. ."

Fu Zhaozhao took a step back slightly, "If you tricked him into coming here, you wouldn't be asking him to deliver food, right?!"

The woman shook her head gently: "How could it be? He is one of the few good people I have ever met."

Qi Guanshan remained silent on the sidelines, obviously not agreeing with the idea of ​​a good person.

Fu Zhaozhao felt that his attitude seemed a bit strange.

The woman glanced at Qi Guanshan, then turned her gaze to Fu Zhaozhao: "You are not the first people to find this place, but you are the only ones who have no other ideas about us."

She touched the monster with a human head and a snake body, and said in a soft voice: "Actually, during this period of time, I kept having the same dream. In the dream, I gradually disappeared like sand blown by the wind."

Qi Guanshan frowned and looked at the other party's limbs that had begun to appear transparent under the light.

The woman didn't care about his gaze and continued: "I also know that Zhizhi's blood is no longer effective for me, and I won't be able to stay with her for a long time if I continue to drink it; and I don't trust her alone, so I used something special. The method is to ask someone to help you come to me."
