Zhou Lan and I stood at the entrance at the end of the corridor, both of us so shocked that we couldn't speak for a long time.
The place we are in is a palace about the size of two basketball courts. The walls of the palace are covered with transparent curtains, similar to woven silk curtains.
The curtain is so light and thin that the flow of gas caused by just opening the door can already make the curtain flutter gently.
The wall behind the curtain is inlaid with a huge number of sapphires.
The light of sapphire reflected through the curtains into the palace, making the entire space seem to be filled with a brilliant blue atmosphere.
The most incredible thing is that there is no place that shines in the entire palace, but it is as bright as day in front of us, and we don’t know where the light source comes from.
Such a luxuriously decorated palace is empty. There is no table, chair or bed. It is hard to tell what it is used for.
"Xiao Cang, the simpler something is, the more difficult it may be to deal with. Don't take it lightly." Zhou Lan took a step forward, looked around cautiously, and whispered.
"Brother, if you look through a room like this, nothing will happen," I said, inadvertently raising my head and looking at the roof of the palace.
At this glance, he actually met a pair of green eyes the size of light bulbs.
The owner of the eyes was also staring at me and Zhou Lan, looking like he was ready to go.
I was so panicked that I couldn't speak. I only felt that my legs suddenly became weak, and my lips opened and closed, but I couldn't say a word. I could only pull Zhou Lan's arm with my hand.
Zhou Lan must have seen it, and he immediately pulled me back and protected me behind him: "Xiao Cang, please retreat to the corridor first. Just wait for me to clean up this thing."
"No, brother, let's deal with him together." I broke away from Zhou Lan's hand and said firmly.
"This snake is afraid of my flying knife, so I can deal with it. With you here, I have to deal with the snake and take care of you at the same time. It will distract me." Zhou Lan said, and then
Push me back.
"Brother," I yelled a little anxiously, "Why do you push me away every time? I can do it. Why don't you believe that I can do it? I can also protect my parents and my grandparents."
.”
When I mentioned grandma, I suddenly felt that my throat was very hard, and then I couldn't even speak.
"Xiao Cang, okay, you can stay here, but you must listen to my instructions and not act without authorization. If you are caught by the snake in your mouth again, you will not be as lucky as you were just now, and you will not be as lucky as you were just now.
I was able to come out safe and sound."
When Zhou Lan said this, he had already taken out the small flying knife from his backpack.
He turned half sideways, and the small flying knife was placed on his chest, which was also ready.
However, Zhou Lan remained in this posture for a long time without moving, as if he was confronting the snake.
There is a charm that makes me immovable even if the enemy is immovable.
Suddenly, the snake couldn't stand Zhou Lan after all. As if it couldn't hold it in any longer, it suddenly flapped its wings vigorously and pounced in our direction.
Before I could react, Zhou Lan had already pulled me behind me and threw the flying knife in his hand at the same time.
I originally thought that Zhou Lan's flying knife was always on target. In just a few hits, this big guy would end up with the same fate as his companions, and he would definitely run away.
However, to both of our expectations, the snake actually escaped Zhou Lan's flying knife and came to us unharmed.
Zhou Lan was obviously taken aback, but quickly reacted.
He took out another small flying knife from his arms and threw it out with great force again.
Maybe it was because the distance was too close, or maybe the big guy Tan She didn't expect Zhou Lan to be so fast.
Anyway, Tang Snake could not completely avoid Zhou Lan's second flying knife, but Zhou Lan's flying knife did not cause any fatal damage to Tang Snake.
The flying knife scraped off several scales from the snake.
This time the snake must have been in pain, so when it came to us, it suddenly turned around and hovered on the roof beam again.
There were bursts of "hissing" sounds in the air all of a sudden, which must be the snakes groaning in pain on the beam.
"Xiao Cang, things don't seem quite right."
Although the snake has been driven away by Zhou Lan, and it should not have the urge to attack us for the time being.
However, Zhou Lan still looked around with vigilance, protecting me behind him, holding the flying knife tightly in his hand.
"Brother, this tan snake seems to be much more agile than its brother. It can actually dodge your flying knife." I said to Zhou Lan.
"It's not because of your skill, but because of the light. The snake should be invisible in the dark. That's why the snake that sucked you into its mouth couldn't avoid my flying knife.
However, now it is in a bright environment, so the snake is able to fully utilize its abilities," Zhou Lan said.
"Brother, what should we do now? I don't know where the light source is in this palace. Otherwise, you can block the light source so that you can deal with the snake." I said.
"Xiao Cang, I think Chen Mo may be in danger. In order to prevent our entire army from being annihilated in the end, you should listen to my brother's advice and retreat to the corridor first, and then come out after the problem here is solved." Zhou Lan raised his hands.
He held my shoulders and said.
"Brother, you don't need to talk about this anymore, I won't agree." I said firmly.
"But, Xiao Cang..."
Before Zhou Lan finished speaking, the palace suddenly became dark.
It's like the glowing light source suddenly went out.
"Brother, is there someone helping us?" I pulled Zhou Lan's hand a little excitedly.
"Xiao Cang, our opportunity has come," Zhou Lan said, "Protect yourself and leave the rest to your brother."
"Brother, wait a minute." I put down my backpack and took out a small bottle of hydrogen chloride. This was specially prepared before I entered Shennongjia to prevent encountering iron worms again. "A knife dipped in hydrogen chloride.
It should be possible to quickly deal with this guy."
"You kid, you actually have something like this on you," Zhou Lan said with a smile, and handed me the small flying knife in his hand.
After I took it, I immersed the entire blade of the flying knife into the small porcelain bottle, and then handed it to Zhou Lan.
After Zhou Lan found a suitable place to stand, he took a deep breath, then swung his wrist, flew up and fell out of his hand.
"Woo..."
Instantly, a huge sound came from the rafters.
It was probably the sound of the snake screaming after being stabbed.
Immediately afterwards, Zhou Lan flew out with a second knife.
But for some reason, the snake didn't make any sound this time.
The quiet environment made me a little panicked all of a sudden.
It couldn't have been any accident.
At this moment, a loud noise came.
It was the sound of something falling from a height to the ground.
Immediately, the light returned to the palace.
Zhou Lan and I both thought it was an injured snake that fell to the ground, but when the light returned to the palace and we took a closer look, lying in the center of the palace was Chen Mo, covered in blood and still unconscious.
It turned out that the darkness just now was because it was blocked by Chen Mo.
