Your heart is free

Chapter 15 The Snake King Who Keeps the Flowers

They had just walked a few meters, when there was another muffled squeak from behind, their hearts skipped a beat, it turned out that the stone door closed automatically.

This is good, you can only move forward, not backward.However, there is no way to retreat, and you can't wait to die on that stone platform without eating or drinking.

Shen Sha didn't stop, so they naturally continued to move forward.

The ceiling of the cave is about two meters high and only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. The light is so dim that you can hardly see your fingers.It can be judged by the feeling under the feet. The pavement is stone slabs, and the footsteps are very clear when walking on it.The air is moist and humid, and the wind keeps blowing from the depths. It is shady and cool, and it doesn't feel good.

"There must be water ahead," said the eagle.

But as soon as his words fell, they suddenly heard heavy echoes in their ears.

"There must be water... there must be water... water..."

There was a sudden opening in front of them. They had walked out of that passage, but there was still no light, and they knew that the place they were in was very open just by feeling.

"How could there be such a strange echo?" Ying frowned again. The echo just now seemed to have changed a different tone, much sharper, which made their ears uncomfortable, but this sentence did not arouse any interest. any movement.

They immediately became alert, there must be something weird in this place.

With a click, two small lanterns suddenly lit up in the darkness in front of them. The fiery red light was very bright in the darkness, but it was strange that it didn't illuminate many places, and the surroundings of the two lanterns were still dark.

"Forget about the echo, isn't the lantern too far away? Let's go and get it." Lou Qi doesn't like walking in the dark.

As soon as she took a step, Shen Sha grabbed her wrist. With a little force, she was pulled into his arms, "Maybe, that's not a lantern." Shen Sha's voice sounded faintly.

"Not a lantern?" What would it be if it wasn't a lantern?Lou Qi was wondering, but the two lanterns moved suddenly, and then, a gust of wind blew from that direction, like something took a breath, but the stench was so disgusting!
"It's a wild beast!" Lou Qi's stomach churned, and immediately grabbed Shen Sha's hand and covered his mouth and nose.He cut down a tree and took a stake with his palm, Lou Qi remembered that it was a kind of tree that can produce spice fruits, so his palm still has that kind of fragrance.

Shen Sha didn't expect her to act like this at all. When he covered her mouth and nose with his palm, his palm touched her lips, and he felt warm and soft, gently imprinted on his palm.He frowned, but he didn't move his hand away. The other arm was around her, and his figure swept aside.

The eagle and the guards naturally followed immediately.

From the place of the lantern, a small piece of bright sunlight suddenly appeared. Although it was not much, it was enough for them to see the situation in front of them clearly.

Seeing this, several people gasped at the same time.

A big red snake with a thick adult waist was coiled on a huge rock in front, its head was raised high, and its two round bowl-sized eyes were fiery red, just like the two small lanterns seen in the darkness just now!There is a gap on the top of its head, and the sunlight is coming in from that gap. It should be that its head just blocked the gap tightly, so it is so dark inside!
Behind the giant snake coiled up like a small mountain, a dark spring in the mountain flows quietly.

"Shen Sha, look quickly!" Lou Qi suddenly pointed at the dark spring, with uncontrollable excitement in his low voice.

On the bank of the dark spring, a small flower bloomed quietly, with countless thin green leaves, and only one flower bloomed at the top. Bring cool air.

A dark light flashed in Shen Sha's eyes.

Ying couldn't help but let out a low voice: "Flower of Mystery!"

Yes, the flower of mystery, as long as you see it, you will know it is.

Lou Qi suddenly became arrogant, poked her head out of Shen Sha's arms, and made a grimace at Ying: "Didn't I say that I brought you a dead end? Don't you want to kill me? If I didn't lead the way, you guys I will never find this flower of mystery!" Who knew that the flower of mystery would grow in such a place, and if it wasn't for some accident, no one would be able to find it! "Would you like to thank me now? Come, come, say a few flattering words to this girl!"

Ying looked at her proud and arrogant appearance, speechless.But he has to admit, this time, Lou Qi is their nobleman!It's lucky star!

One must know how important this flower of mystery is to the master!
But he just didn't want Lou Qi to be so complacent, so he said sullenly, "I don't know whether to say you are brave or stupid, so you just ignored the king of snakes?"

He had to remind her that the snake king thicker than her waist was eyeing them all!It seems that they are already regarded as Chinese food!No wonder there are so many snakes in this mysterious valley, so there is a snake king here!
How can Lou Qi ignore the snake, but aren't they there?If three people kill a snake, they won't still be defeated, right?Especially the killer Shen Sha...

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Lou Qi immediately hid behind Shen Sha, tugged at his sleeve with her small hands, twisted and twisted gently, and said in a delicate voice, "Master, you have to protect me!"

The corner of Ying's mouth twitched, and the guard couldn't help turning his face away, not seeing it clearly.

Shen Sha lowered her head and saw that the black fabric of her sleeves was being grabbed by a few white and slender fingers, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

"Stay aside." He said coldly.

Lou Qi immediately retreated obediently, retreated again, and retreated to a certain corner.

Shen Sha glanced at it, raised the corner of his mouth almost inaudibly, and suddenly changed his mind: "You go pick the flowers of confusion."

"Ah?" Lou Qi wailed, "That's courting death!" The snake king made it clear that it was the guardian beast of the Flower of Mystery, if she dared to touch the Flower of Mystery, the King of Snake would be the first to swallow her up!
At this time, the snake king had lost his patience. With a movement of his long body, the huge snake head shot towards them. With its open mouth, it could almost swallow a big man in one gulp. The fangs make people feel cold.And because of the overcast wind brought up by its movement, it directly makes people feel that the temperature has dropped by two degrees.

All the snakes on the mountain are thin fire-breathing snakes with high temperature, but this king snake is extremely cold. Does this mean that it can't breathe fire?That's a good thing.

Lou Qi showed a pitiful face: "Master, I'm so scared, can I not go?"

"This is an order, pluck the flowers, or die, choose one of the two."

As Shen Sha said, he pulled out the broken sword from his waist, jumped up, and greeted the snake king.

"Let's go together!" Ying gave the order to the guards, the two of them dodged to block in front of Lou Qi, and attacked the snake together.The three of them shot at the same time, and the Snake King became irritable, and jumped down from the huge rock, his tail fiercely curling towards the eagle.But at this moment, the killing gleam in Shen Sha's hand flashed, and two fangs were cut off!The originally sharp and long fangs suddenly became blunt and short.
