The red viper has a strong sense of territory, but the red viper king in the cave watched helplessly as the two men broke into the cave where it lived, but showed no reaction.
A majestic general-level beast, where is the face?
If hibernating, why are the eyes open?
This is not scientific!
Seeing Wei Ci's thoughtful and doubtful expression, Xing Yue was a little confused.
After hesitating for a moment, she mustered up the courage to take another look. This time, she also discovered something unreasonable.
Both of them were scared to death before, but now after careful observation, they discovered that although the Red Viper King in the cave exuded a coercion that far exceeded that of a high-level spiritual beast, it did not have any life fluctuations.
"Is he already dead?" Wei Ci thought to himself
Xing Yue looked at him, her expression obviously no longer frightened. Apparently she had the same guess.
A false alarm!
However, a doubt immediately came to the minds of the two of them: Why did the powerful snake king with general-level strength die in his cave?
The lifespan of alien animals generally exceeds that of humans, so it can basically be ruled out that they die of natural old age.
Therefore, the most likely outcome is that a fight will occur and someone will be killed.
However, there were no signs of a fierce battle outside the snake cave. The outer wall of the cave was intact, and it did not look like it had been defeated and killed.
After much debate, Wei Cihe and Xingyue finally decided to go into the cave to find out.
Wealth and honor are sought in danger, and the dead general-level beasts are not enough to make people shrink back.
Just in case, Wei Ci still gathered his strength and shot an arrow at the Red Viper King's right eye.
Seeing the snake's pupils burst into a cloud of blood, the arrow piercing deeply into the head, and the Red Viper King showing no movement, Wei Ci and Xing Yue no longer had any worries and began to boldly dive into the hole.
Despite this, the two of them still held weapons and were ready to retreat immediately if something went wrong.
Xing Yue threw two starlight balls again, making the cave completely lit up.
Only then did Wei Ci realize that the cave was much larger than they had imagined, and what they saw outside the cave entrance was only a part of the Red Viper's body.
The snake body of the red viper king, which is more than ten meters long, is coiled into a circle in the cave. There is still a gap of one or two meters wide between the cave wall and the snake body.
Following the gap, Wei Ci and Xing Yue made a half circle around the snake's body, which was nearly human height, and came to the innermost part of the cave.
"What is that?"
Xing Yue suddenly looked at the center of the cave, where the Red Viper King coiled his body, and asked.
Wei Ci looked in the direction of her finger.
The next moment, he knew why Xing Yue noticed there.
Because when his mental power swept across the entire cave, he suddenly discovered that his mental power was strangely bounced away when it passed that location.
This was the source of the mental inability of the two men to investigate earlier.
Wei Ci stepped over the snake's tail and entered the circle surrounded by the snake's body.
Xingyue followed closely behind.
A strange-looking beast appeared in front of them.
It has no limbs and is only half a human tall. It has an earthy appearance. One end of its body is thick and round, while the other end is pointed like a cone.
If you ignore the densely packed sharp tentacles on its body that look like centipede legs, as well as its terrifying mouthparts, its chubby appearance is even a bit funny.
Looking at this appearance, Wei Ci's mind flashed back to the cicada pupae he had eaten in his previous life.
Cicada pupa plus?
Don’t tell me, it looks quite similar!
His mental power swept over the strange beast again, and it was indeed bounced away as if there was some kind of obstacle. This made Wei Ci conclude that this strange beast was something that he and Xing Yue had not been able to detect with their mental power before.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Wei Ci seemed to feel an evil and dark aura from it.
Xing Yue said: "All the strange beasts on Sanye Island have been recorded, but this kind of strange beast has never been heard of."
"Indeed, I have never seen it in the alien beast illustrated book of the island master's mansion. This may be an underground creature that does not live on the surface." Wei Ci agreed.
Because mental power cannot be detected, its strength cannot be judged for a while.
But it lay motionless on the ground. According to the two people's speculations, it was probably dead like the Red Viper.
They suddenly noticed that there was a hole on the ground behind the alien beast that was slightly narrower than the alien beast's size.
Looking at the hole in the ground, Wei Ci imagined a strange beast that looked like a cicada chrysalis suddenly tearing open the ground one day and emerging from the ground.
Xing Yue said with some disappointment: "Take it back and let Uncle Yong and the others study it!"
Who would have thought that something like this would be hidden deep in the snake's den.
Xing Yue stretched out her left hand, pointed a small silver-white ring on her index finger at the khaki alien corpse in front of her, and was about to put it into the ring.
But unexpectedly, the collection failed. I tried several times, but the beast didn't move at all.
There are several situations where items cannot be collected from storage equipment.
The size of the item exceeds the limit, or the item itself is also a storage space, or the item is a living thing, or the item cannot be perceived by mental power.
Wei Ci and Xing Yue looked at each other and made guesses at the same time.
"Kakaka..."
As if their suspicions were verified, there was a sound of joints rubbing and colliding from the khaki beast's body, and its motionless body suddenly changed.
The thick and round body at one end opened a pair of evil eyes as if changing its face. The other end of the body, as long and slender as a cone, stretched out hard and sharp tentacles.
This creature that looks like a silkworm chrysalis is actually covered with tentacles like a centipede.
The appearance is indescribably weird.
However, this undoubtedly verified their guess that it was indeed a living creature!
The densely packed tentacles on the alien beast began to swing, each tentacle grabbing the ground like a claw, driving the body towards the hole.
It wants to slip away from the burrow!
Seeing its intention, Xing Yue was not willing to let it go as he wished. He ducked to the cave and blocked its way.
The way was blocked, and there was a hint of anthropomorphic mockery in the strange beast's evil eyes.
Just when Wei Ci thought it was going to attack someone violently and clenched the dagger in his hand, ready to support him at any time, he found that those fierce eyes had calmed down abnormally.
A cloud of pitch-black mist suddenly floated out from its head, flying straight towards the body of the Red Viper King with lightning speed.
After activating his mental energy and sensing it, Wei Ci suddenly came to his senses.
It turns out that it is not the strange beast that cannot be detected with mental power, but it!
The black mist paused for a moment in front of the Red Viper King's head, then turned into thin threads and penetrated through the Red Viper King's head.
Wei Ci suddenly had an ominous premonition.
He raised his hand and gently touched Xing Yue beside him, and pointed at the entrance of the stone cave blocked by the body of the Red Viper King. The latter nodded knowingly, and that was exactly what she meant. The strange phenomenon that happened in front of them made the two of them simultaneously
Choose to evacuate.
However, just as Wei Ci was about to take a step forward, a chill ran down his spine, and a feeling of being targeted by death came to his heart.
Immediately afterwards, an aura that far surpassed that of a high-level spiritual beast suddenly appeared in the cave.
Xing Yue's footsteps following Wei Ci were instinctively stiff at this moment, unable to lift her heels.
Above their heads in front of them, the Red Viper King had stood up without knowing it. His huge snake head was spitting out a letter, and its brown snake eyes like copper bells were staring at the two of them.
There is an arrow stuck in one of the eyes, and blood is flowing down the snake's body. The picture is terrifying and bloody.
