Monument of Life and Death

   Chapter 982 Snake Belly

   The short but fierce war ended thus.

   Daoist Master and Luo Jiutian gasped as they looked around the room to confirm that there were no fish that slipped through the net.

The room was a mess, the ground was covered with black water and black ash, and the asphalt-like substances that flowed down from the eccentrics. Stepping on it was like stepping on a swamp. All the items were soaked by the black water, even Li Muyuan and the three were not spared.

   "Is it... it's over?" Luo Jiutian wiped the water off his face and asked.

   "I don't know," Li Muyuan said, "Patriarch Xia Hua hasn't returned yet."

As soon as the voice fell, a black figure suddenly flew in from the window. The black figure thumped and landed at the feet of Dao Chang. Everyone still hadn't figured out the identity of the black figure. Xia Hua in a gorgeous cheongsam appeared by the window. Holding the window frame with both hands, he jumped gently and gracefully jumped into the house.

  The high heels fell to the ground, and Xia Hua stepped into the things on the ground. She gave a disgusting "Huh" and looked up at the Taoist priest and Luo Jiutian, "How did you do this?"

  The wet men spread their hands helplessly.

   "Fighting man," Luo Jiutian's expression was narcissistic, "It's hard to stay elegant."

  Xia Hua pouted, "You have never been graceful."

"This is…"

   Daoist Master looked at the black object that Xian Xiahua flew in. This thing is a bit like a huge black sausage, the outer layer is wrapped in a thick black casing, and I don't know what is inside.

   However, it can be vaguely guessed…

"Come out."

  Xia Hua waved his right hand, the black sausage wriggled, the top of the casing suddenly burst open, and with a clatter, a hand stuck out from the hole.

   The three of them stared dumbfoundedly at this magical "cocoon breaking" process. Not long after, a naked man climbed out of the casing, collapsed on the ground, and coughed.

   "This is the one who is manipulating those weird things behind their backs?" Li Muyuan asked.

  Xia Hua nodded, "I found him in the parking lot of the building in front. He seems to have a companion, but I only caught him, and I didn't see the other person."

  Luo Jiutian carefully observed the trembling thin man, "Is he like this when you found him?"

   "Otherwise?" Xia Hua said, "I didn't beat him, I just put him in the snake's belly and brought him back."

   Snake Belly... It turns out that this black casing is Snake Belly.

   "Huh? Was he undressed when you found him?"

   "You stinky boy," Lao Luo couldn't help beating Luo Jiutian, "Can you ask a useful question?"

   "Of course he's wearing clothes," Xia Hua was speechless. "He's just a bad guy, not a pervert."

"His clothes and weapons have been corroded by the snake's belly," Li Muyuan said, "This is one of the abilities of the lifeworm of the Xia Hua family master. Once swallowed into the snake's belly, this person will lose all spiritual energy and become a corpse. Non-threatening ordinary people."

Amazing.

   Isn't this man completely useless in martial arts?

  The priest cautiously walked to the window and looked out the window.

   "We have to be careful," said the Taoist priest. "Just now in my room, someone shot a cold needle at me after the giant spider was knocked back."

   "Ah! Are you alright then?" Luo Jiutian narrowed his eyes.

   Daoist Master glanced at Lao Luo secretly and said, "It's okay, I avoided."

"Cough, cough..." The man's cough suddenly increased, as if he was angry. He coughed in pain for a long time, then stood up weakly, raised his head and said, "You... you don't have to worry, he... that bastard... he I've already run away..."

This man looked about the same age as Luo Jiutian and Li Muyuan, his skin was pale, and his body was covered in mucus from the snake's belly. Although all his strength was corroded by the snake's belly, he still clenched his back molars. It seems that hatred is far stronger than fear.

   Sure enough, he hated the teammate who threw him away more than the enemy who caught him.

   "Don't worry," Xia Hua put Luo Jiutian's coat on the bed and sat on it, "As long as you explain honestly, we won't hurt you."

  The man's sinister eyes flew to Xia Hua, he swallowed, curled his legs, and seemed to remember to cover his exposed vital parts in front of this woman.

   Daoist priest picked up another coat of Luo Jiutian and threw it on the man.

   "Hey—" Luo Jiutian raised his waist, "Why do you all use my clothes?…"

   "Stop talking nonsense." Lao Luo jabbed his son's waist with a spirit flag.

  The man grabbed Luo Jiutian's jacket and covered his lower body awkwardly.

   "You raised your head." Xia Hua bent down slightly and said softly.

   The man was able to bend and stretch, and raised his chin obediently, but his eyes were full of unwillingness.

   "You manipulate those things that can't be killed?" Xia Hua asked.

  The man didn't speak, just nodded.

   "What about those spiders?" the Taoist priest also asked.

   "It's me too," sparks burst into the man's eyes, "Tonight's original plan was for me to play the front line, and he came to attack, but as soon as he saw you, he ran away... Hmph, what..."

I see.

   If the person's companions hadn't run, they might have actually hurt themselves.

   "Why did he run?" Xia Hua asked.

   "Hmph," the man sneered, "of course because he's timid."

   The Taoist priest felt that this was not the case.

  The man was standing outside his window. After the giant spider was killed, he shot a silver needle and disappeared.

   Daoist Master suddenly understood.

   He left, not because he was timid, but because he realized that his goal was not here.

   That man wanted to kill Wenling, so after the giant spider's attack failed, the man left.

   Daochang's heart beat violently.

   Asking the side of the spirit, there is danger.

   Daoist Master was about to express his reasoning, but Luo Jiutian stared at the man's face and let out a loud howl.

   "I remember!"

   "What are you doing?" Xia Hua was taken aback, "Stunned!"

   "Let's just say, as soon as I saw his face, I thought it was familiar!" Luo Jiutian pointed at the man and said excitedly, "I've seen him!"

  Xia Hua glanced at the man lightly, "Is he from your eight liangshui?"

   "What eight liangshui..." Luo Jiutian rolled his eyes, "It's the tenth banquet! I saw him at the venue of the tenth banquet! He is the staff of that game!"

  ***

  Kill us?

   "Who is going to kill us?" Xiaolan asked.

   Wu Ren lowered his head and showed a faint smile, "Of course it's your enemy."

   Nonsense, could it be you?

   "How did you know someone was going to kill us?" Baomu regretted it after asking, so he immediately changed his mind and asked, "Then will we die?"
