With the size of the giant snake and the power of the Xiantian Qi, Zuo Zhicheng could clearly estimate that even if he made a breakthrough now, he would definitely not be its opponent.
If he wanted to deal with the Serpent King, he would have to improve his strength or prepare some special weapons or traps. Especially since the Serpent King was in the spiritual fruit forest, he had to do his best to ensure that the forest was not destroyed.
However, this was something that he would have to do next time. For now, Zuo Zhicheng had to escape before the giant snake discovered him.
Sounds of air breaking could be heard from his surroundings. His whole body seemed to be flying close to the ground as he sprinted towards the entrance of the cave.
When Zuo Zhicheng entered the cave, an earth-shattering roar came from the underground space behind him. It sounded like the roar of a lion and a tiger, but it was creepy and eerie.
Roar!
Visible sound waves were emitted from the Serpent King's mouth. Although Zuo Zhicheng did not see it with his own eyes, he could feel his heart palpitating. He stood not far from the entrance of the cave and took out a bottle of sulfur from his pocket.
He originally planned to use it to get rid of insects and poisonous snakes when he was camping. However, there were no insects or snakes in the underground space where the Serpent King lived. Therefore, he kept it. He took it out now in the hope that it would be effective against the Serpent King. At least if it crawled over, it would be able to stop it for a while.
He sprinkled all the sulfur on the ground. In the direction of the underground space, the beastly roars came one after another.
"Could it be summoning zombies?" Zuo Zhicheng casually threw away the empty bottle and once again ran towards the stone platform at full speed.
The beastly roars were getting more and more urgent, as if they were filled with anger. However, Zuo Zhicheng was not affected at all. He was like a gust of wind as he shuttled through the underground tunnel.
At this moment, he was light and alone. He did not have to carry Qing Yueqiu and the others like last time. His speed was extremely fast. In just five to six minutes, he had walked out of the cave and arrived at the stone platform.
At this moment, the beastly roars strangely stopped.
A chill ran down Zuo Zhicheng's spine. Even though he had already activated his night vision mode, the environment in his field of vision still darkened bit by bit. Countless things were wandering around in the shadows, looking at Zuo Zhicheng with vicious and ferocious eyes.
Most people would have been scared stiff at this point, thinking that they had entered the underworld. However, Zuo Zhicheng did not. He frowned and said, "Human form? No wonder it's called the Hell King Snake. "
As he spoke, a murderous aura suddenly erupted from his body. A dense murderous aura appeared around him, as if it had broken through the darkness and turned everything he had seen before into an illusion.
However, Zuo Zhicheng knew that if he had not grasped the key to the human form during the battle, those illusions would not have been mere illusions. He would have been dragged into the purgatory of the Hell King Snake and would be attacked by all kinds of demons and ghosts until he died.
When he came to the side of the river, other than a large and long tree branch, there was also a piece of floating ice the size of a small boat floating and sinking beside the stone platform. Zuo Zhicheng stepped on it without hesitation. He thought to himself, "Is this the solution that Qing Yueqiu mentioned to solve the problem of not having a boat?"
'It should be some kind of Daoist material similar to liquid nitrogen or the Ice Lake Sea.'
As he thought, he quickly paddled out of the river. At the same time, as if it had sensed that its attack had been countered, it roared again. A series of loud noises came from the depths of the tunnel, as if a huge monster was rampaging through it.
...
On the shore of the lake, when Qing Yueqiu and the others heard the faint beastly roars, they felt goosebumps rise on their backs.
Tang Xianghui, who was next to them, asked, "What is it?"
"Could it be that the Hell King Snake has woken up?" Liu Changding was puzzled. "But we can hear its roars even from here."
Tangyuan advised, "Miss, let's leave here first. This camp was probably attacked by them before. It's not safe for us to stay here. "
Qing Yueqiu did not answer him. Instead, she looked straight in the direction of the lake, as if waiting for Gui Quan to appear.
However, the figure in her imagination did not appear. Everyone had different expressions. Tang Xianghui could not help but say, "Could it be that Gui Quan did not manage to escape?"
"It's hard to say. Although his strength is far beyond ours, there are too many monsters. Moreover, the underground tunnels are connected in all directions. If there is an accident..."
Although Gui Quan had not come out for a long time and everyone was a little pessimistic, Qing Yueqiu still did not leave. She just ordered, "Tangyuan, Xianghui, take the others and leave first. I will wait for Gui Quan here."
"But..." Tangyuan's face showed an awkward expression. "Miss, don't make things difficult for us. If the higher-ups know that we left you behind, we will be dead."
"If I tell you to go, you go. I will protect myself. Wait for half an hour. If no one is here, I will catch up with you. "
Tang Xianghui and Tangyuan looked at each other. In terms of combat strength, Qing Yueqiu was naturally very strong. However, when it came to escaping and surviving in the forest, it was not just a competition of combat strength.
Moreover, Qing Yueqiu did not have Xiantian Qi. Her strength was mainly in Taoist techniques. How could they leave her alone in the forest?
In the end, it was Tang Xianghui who said, "Tangyuan, you go first. I will stay with Miss."
Just as they were talking, a piece of floating ice slowly floated over from the water.
"Is that Gui Quan?"
"Where is he?"
The few of them looked at the empty floating ice in bewilderment. They did not understand why the floating ice had appeared, but there was no trace of Ghost Fist.
At this moment, a cold and deep voice entered their ears. It was Gui Quan's voice.
"I don't know why the Snake King did not chase after us. Maybe it is guarding the psionic food. Anyway, the matter here has come to an end. I have to go. "
"I have already taken my share of the psionic food. I will contact you when I return to the new port."
"Also, Miss Qingyue, don't forget our agreement."
Tangyuan was stunned. She took off the bag on her back in disbelief and found that half of the psionic fruits were gone.
"How did he do it? This is so strange. "
In the forest, Zuo Zhicheng touched the psionic fruits in the bag. The stock here was enough for him to use for several months. However, because he had removed his disguise, he did not want to meet Qing Yueqiu and the others.
The next time he came to the ruins, it would be time to completely destroy the Snake King and occupy all the underground space.
