"boom!"

The violent explosion caused a devastating tinnitus, and the black ball exploded on Third Uncle's back - along with the man, Third Uncle's entire body was blown to pieces.

The moonlight with a touch of scarlet shined through the heavy rain, and when it shined on the ground, it was already very weak.

The sound of heavy rain covered up the fighting in the streets, but it could not completely cover up the explosion of the black ball——

Faint kerosene lamps were lit in the windows on both sides of the streets. The residents in those rooms quietly turned off the dim lights after seeing the scene outside.

They have long been accustomed to such scenes, and they understand that it is not a dispute that they can just watch casually.

Only half of Uncle San's head was blown away, but even so, Chen Yan's consciousness was not "squeezed out."

Uncle San, who has only half his head left, is still alive.

The mouth of the remaining small half of his head opened and closed, slowly sucking the water on the ground diluted by the heavy rain.

His strength was already very small, and a large part of the water entering his mouth was lost due to the incomplete mouth. Even so, he still did not give up.

Chen Yan felt that the water flow was very dirty, with mud, glass particles, gravel... and even a lot of domestic filth.

Apart from that, there is just a small amount of blood - that is the purpose of the third uncle.

Chen Yan felt that saying "purpose" was actually not accurate, because the third uncle had lost his human reason, and the remaining animal instincts in his mind had no clear purpose at all.

If we really want to use "purpose" to explain the motivation of Uncle San's behavior, it is to "survive".

Third uncle wants to live.

He swallowed the blood in the sewage, even though the blood came in from the mouth and went out from the rotten ears and nostrils, even though the heavy rain kept pouring into his eyes, washing everything in the rotten skull cavity.

He still wants to live.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to retain a trace of blood in such a harsh situation.

The blood was transformed into vitality by him, remodeling his buccinator muscles and forming a thin layer of oral mucosa.

These new, fragile biological tissues were quickly punctured by the glass ballast contained in the water flow.

The wound quickly became infected, and a large number of pathogenic bacteria swarmed in. An ugly malignant cyst appeared on the third uncle's face - the deformed thing grew under his still intact eye, and the swollen skin covered all his eyes.

vision.

Chen Yan's vision was blocked, and his eyes were filled with darkness.

All he knew was that Third Uncle still didn't give up swallowing.

He kept sucking, always catching some blood in the sewage, and that blood helped him reshape his body, even though the speed of reshaping was quite slow - but the "rebirth" was still going on non-stop.

Chen Yan didn't know how long it took until the heavy rain stopped and there were voices in the corner alley. The third uncle was finally able to move slowly:

Even though he didn't have arms or legs, he still managed to approach a certain sewer opening by slowly crawling, and before being discovered by anyone, he got in together with the sewage that had become smaller.

People may see his shadow, but they will only think that the shadow is a large mouse.

At this time, the third uncle's willpower was extremely strong.

His incredible desire to survive made him struggle in the stinky sewers. Occasionally he felt a noise around him, and relying on his soft and resilient body, he rushed over and bit the person who made the noise to death in his mouth——

That's usually a rat, or a snake filled with toxins and various parasites and bacteria.

Fortunately, Uncle San is no cleaner than the dirt in the sewers.

During this process, the third uncle's vision gradually recovered. The regenerated eyes gave him a blurry vision again. He could only capture dynamic things, but turned a blind eye to static things - Chen Yan knew that snakes were like this.

.

But Uncle San couldn't grow arms.

Chen Yan could even feel that there were no bones where his limbs used to be.

The third uncle seems to have really turned into a snake...

A snake with a human head.

Fortunately, his human consciousness was restored.

He wandered in the sewers, distinguishing the location through the human voices above the sewers. The snake's hearing was very poor, but he had to do this because he could not get out of the sewers——

It's not because he is now a snake with a human head, but because he has inferiority complex due to his own condition. He feels that he is no longer a human being and cannot return to the world of normal humans.

He felt regret in his heart, but this regret was quickly overwhelmed by the will to survive.

Third uncle wants to live.

When Chen Yan experienced this memory, he did not feel the passage of time. This seemed to be the third uncle's impression of this memory - in the third uncle's memory, this period of time was about endurance, foraging, fear...

day to day.

I do not know how long it has been.

The third uncle got out of a sewer. He had been observing here for three nights and determined that this was the entrance of Taisheng and Walker Street.

Taking advantage of the silence of the night, he climbed along the wall, climbed into the courtyard, passed by the long corridor with red lacquered beams, and finally stopped in front of Xanthium's reception room.

He straightened up and gently tapped the carved double wooden doors of the reception room with his head.

"Brother, it's me..."

He hasn't spoken to anyone in a long time and has forgotten how to say hello.

In a moment, the door was opened.

Xanthium, dressed in formal ritual attire, was standing behind the door, half of her face covered by a black mask.

Even with the mask on, Chen Yan could still see the abnormal blush on the side of his cheeks.

"Brother Kishi, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

He looked at the third uncle with the head of a human and the body of a snake. There was no trace of timidity or disgust in his eyes. Instead, he was full of "surprise".

Chen Yan was frightened by this enthusiastic "surprise".

He realized that when Xanthium sent the bottle of blood to his third uncle, he must have known that his third uncle would end up like this!

The third uncle also clearly understood this fact.

"Brother, brother, you have caused me so much pain..."

After saying these words in a spiteful voice, the third uncle's resentment even emerged from the top of his head, turning into several wisps of poisonous smoke.

Xanthium obviously expected this situation. He said patiently through the mask:

"The people of the Empire have a proverb, "If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight." It is similar to our saying that you have to endure hardships to become a great person. If you want to have power beyond mortals, you must bear the price..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Third Uncle's resentful voice: "Are you trying to say that because I didn't ask about the price I had to bear, you didn't tell me either, right?"

Chen Yan felt that the third uncle was losing his mind at this time, because the third uncle usually didn't speak like this - such straightforward words seemed too stupid, and the third uncle usually wouldn't bother to say it.
