Bai Xue caught a glimpse of the Snake Guard who was only less than a foot away from them, and immediately pulled back the exquisite string without panic in the face of danger.
In an instant, all the Snake Guards were hit. Some Snake Guards only tripped and fell, while some Snake Guards' limbs were flying and they screamed in pain. Among them, there were a few unlucky ones who lay down and never woke up again...
Bai Xue was confused. She couldn't believe the results before her. Why were these snake guards as easy to deal with as chopping up a watermelon?
She originally thought that as long as she was caught by the Snake Guards, a fierce battle would break out between the two sides, but she never expected that just a few traps would bring down a small team of Snake Guards!
Perhaps it was because she encountered a tough situation during her last wedding at Prince Rui's Mansion, which left a big psychological shadow on her, and she subconsciously believed that snake monsters were difficult to match.
After this incident, Ziyan became more careful. For fear of something going wrong, he was extra cautious along the way. He carefully led Bai Xue around many twists and turns and finally entered the secret door safely.
With the lesson learned from Ziyan's poisoning, the two easily avoided the aphrodisiac poison in the secret room this time.
After that, the two of them never encountered any traps again. It was not because they were clever or lucky, but because the palace owner did not set up any other traps.
I don’t know whether to say that the owner of the palace is careless or that he is too confident?
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Bai Xue no longer had any expectations for the things in the secret room. Even the snake king himself didn't pay attention to it, so there must be nothing...
Zi Yan was different from Bai Xue's passive attitude. He pushed open the door at the end of the secret room. As he imagined, there was a completely different world inside the door!
The slap in the face came so quickly, Bai Xue was stunned to find that the entire room in the secret room was actually a huge prison!
In the very center of the prison stood a huge stone statue. The stone of the stone statue was visually aged, and there were slight cracks in some places. The stone statue was not the narcissistic throne statue of the Snake King, but a woman.
The woman's eyes are as bright as stars, her thin lips are lightly pursed, her hair is like a hanging waterfall, her body is light, and she has a fairy spirit. Judging from the posture of the stone statue, she seems to be dancing.
Bai Xue looked away. The stone statue was surrounded by iron cages stacked one on top of another. Each iron cage contained a young girl. Looking up, there were also many iron cages of different heights hanging on the top of the rock.
, the girl trapped in it is like a bird in a cage.
If we talk about the number of girls in the cage, it is probably already over a hundred!
The girls' clothes are all different, most of them are made of coarse linen. There seem to be a few ladies from high-ranking families among them. In addition, there are a few brides in wedding dresses!
Bai Xue suddenly thought that if she was lucky, she might be able to find the distant orphan girl who was supposed to marry Lin Yu among these brides.
However, all the women in the cage were sleeping in deathly silence, and no one was awake. Bai Xue could even hear her own breathing. It was really weird!
Bai Xue had goosebumps all over her body. She really didn't understand what the Snake King's hobby was, he actually kept people in cages like domesticated birds!
"Zhiqua——"
When the door sounded, Bai Xue realized that in addition to the door in the secret room, there was another door at the end of the corner that led to other places.
Fortunately, Ziyan's quick eyesight and hands quickly led Bai Xue to a blind corner to avoid him. If they had been just a little bit late, they might have been captured by the Snake Guard.
Several snake guards immediately entered the prison, and after some "careful selection", they roughly took out a girl from the cage. The chains on the girl's wrists jingled, which was particularly harsh in the silence.
The girl suddenly woke up and shouted miserably, "No! Don't kill me!"
She screamed heartbreakingly, her voice was hoarse, and she knelt on the ground and begged the snake guard to let her go, but the snake guard was unmoved and dragged her out of the door.
Bai Xue knows very well that a little impatience can mess up a big plan. Even if he wants to save her, in this situation where he can't save himself, there is no point in seeking justice before the time comes.
"She's dead!" A woman with a delicate face, dressed in luxurious wedding clothes, was lying on her side in the cage next to Bai Xue. She sat up gently, holding the iron cage tightly with both hands, and whispered softly.
He asked Ziyan softly, "Are you not from the snake tribe?"
"No." Ziyan shook his head, "How did you know that she was bound to die? How could you see it?"
The woman sneered and said after a moment, "Whoever leaves this room never comes back."
Bai Xue listened carefully on the side, frowning.
"My name is Yueniang, and I have been trapped here for a long time..." Yueniang bit her lower lip and turned her eyes to Bai Xue, "Have you seen the stone statue in the middle?"
After hearing this, Bai Xue nodded and said, "Is it the Snake Princess?"
"I don't know, but everyone locked here has one thing in common - they are similar to her." Yueniang paused, "eyebrows, mouth and nose, face, arms, body..."
Bai Xue and Zi Yan looked at the stone statue together in tacit understanding. It seemed that it was true. The similarity between Yueniang and the stone statue lies in their faces.
Immediately afterwards, Yueniang slowly told a cruel fact: the act of dragging the girl away was defined as clearing the cage, just because she was the least similar among these people and could be discarded at any time. The discarding here refers to being raped by the Snake Clan.
When you share the food, if you are lucky, there will be some bones left, but if you are unlucky, you won't even have any bones left.
"I just met a girl a few days ago. She had a natural birthmark on her arm. She was released from the cage that day and there was no news from her. I thought she was let go, but..." Yueniang's expression suddenly changed.
He was so frightened that his whole body trembled unconsciously due to extreme fear, "It wasn't until the second day when I was filling the cage that I saw the birthmark on the meat that accidentally fell out of the snake tribe's pocket..."
Bai Xue felt uneasy, only afraid of the orphan girl from a distant relative...
"Is the bride sent here too? Do you recognize Lin Yu's wife from Prince Rui's palace?" Bai Xue asked anxiously.
"That's right!" Yueniang's angry words contained a little excitement, "Mrs. Lin Yu has died long ago. We were all kidnapped on the day we got married. Mrs. Lin Yu has no resemblance to the stone statue, so she was thrown away that day.
Into a group of snakes!"
After hearing this series of narrations, Bai Xue had a lot of thoughts in her mind. What should be sent to all parts of the Kyushu Continent? What kind of agreement? It's just the wet nurse's wishful thinking. Why should these dead women deserve it? Their wedding day is their memorial day.
After saying this, Yueniang stopped making any sound, and just leaned against the cage, waiting for the "newcomer" to fill the cage. Not long after, the door was opened again, and Bai Xue and Ziyan hurriedly hid in the blind corner, but in
In their panic, they never noticed that there was no distance between them.
With the sound of the iron chain rubbing against the iron cage, a "newly joined" woman was locked into the cage by the snake guards.
When the snake guard left, Bai Xue immediately ran towards the cage.
A woman with exquisite figure, smooth skin, and stunning beauty was already unconscious on her side.
Looking at her beautiful face, Bai Xue was amazed! Because this person was Yao Xiyan...
