CHAPTER 418: CHAPTER 283: THE BOX IN THE POND, THE HAND IN THE BLOOD

Chapter 283

"The treasure is mine, the supreme treasure is mine!" Old Goat Monster was nearly crazy, immediately tapping his foot, trying to break through the circle of poisonous snakes...

On the other side, Wei Feng and the others also struggled to stay calm...

Sui Yi and her people, on the other hand, were quite still; firstly, they weren’t too obsessed with whatever treasure it was, and secondly...they no longer possessed much resistance, as any slight move would lead to collapse, so it was better to stay put...

But, Sui Yi didn’t expect it to move!

Demon Que’s inserted eyeballs...twiched, and Sui Yi’s breath tightened, unable to react in time!

Aaang!

The snake’s head suddenly rose, carrying Sui Yi on its head and soared, its body coiling like a dragon!

Old Goat Monster and the rest, focused on breaking out, were caught off guard and were knocked away en masse!

"Shit! It’s still alive!" Gong Jiu cursed, too late to raise his gun, as the giant snake had already begun a killing spree!

However, those closer like Wei Feng and Old Goat Monster suffered the most damage; even Old Goat Monster was seriously injured. A direct sweep at his waist had sent him flying...

Just as everyone who was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea was planning to attack that creature...

"It’s running away!" Brother Ma was about to shoot the giant snake at close range with his Fire Gun when he suddenly saw the snake twist its body and fled in terror.

Whirl!

The giant snake turned its head to swim away...

No one dared to stop it.

"Sui Yi, aren’t you coming down?" Flower Demon and others saw Sui Yi still on the snake’s head...

"Forget about that sword!"

Forget the sword?

Sui Yi gripped Demon Que tightly, trying to pull it out, but could hardly exert any strength because of the fragment...which hung around her neck, making her dizzy~~

Whirl!

The giant snake had already coiled around the tower, moving upwards along it...

This scene was frightening, but also provided a strong visual impact.

It had the mythical feel of a dragon snake coiling around a sacred tower.

At this moment, Gong Jiu and the others were finally awakened!

"At the top!"

"No wonder Sui Yi isn’t coming down! Smart girl!"

Little did they know, Sui Yi was in a tough spot; she could only cling to Demon Que to maintain her balance...

Meanwhile, Wei Feng and Old Goat Monster saw Sui Yi following the giant snake up to the top of the tower, but they were unable to catch up with the tail, and...what was the giant snake planning to do up there? There wasn’t a single window for it to crawl through!

The Gate was more reliable!

"Cover me with all you’ve got..." both commanded in unison, then exploded with a violent burst that had even Gong Jiu calling them freaks, attempting to forcibly break through the horde of snakes...

The giant snake had already reached the top of the tower, its thick body coiling around the now-glowing tower. It flicked its tongue, seemingly infatuated with the light...

At the snake’s head, Sui Yi, who had been weak before, suddenly became alert, looking inside the window at the light...

Firelight?

A doubtful Sui Yi faintly saw two people inside...

The giant snake opened its mouth, crawling to the top...

Right over that sculpture.

Pu-chi!

Sui Yi suddenly pulled out Demon Que from the eyeballs!

The sudden severe pain twisted the giant snake’s body, causing it to partially fall down for a moment, shaking its head and hissing, while trying to attack Sui Yi...

But at this point, Sui Yi had already grabbed the sculpture, initially just looking for a fulcrum due to her weakness. Once she grabbed it, her gaze flashed toward the sculpture...

Magnetic Sensation probed inside...

Mechanism!

This was also a mechanism!

It seemed like the giant snake also wanted to touch this spot with its head...

Sui Yi’s palm pressed down on the middle part of the sculpture.

Click!

The top of the tower opened.

An opening...just right for the giant snake’s body to enter.

Sui Yi immediately leaped in!

————————

Landing.

Two people.

A middle-aged man, and Anayi...

Mr. Yun looked at Sui Yi, raised an eyebrow, and said indifferently, "It seems we’ve got another guest." Anayi smiled, "A most warm welcome, though this guest doesn’t seem to be in the best of conditions."

At that moment, Sui Yi was supporting herself on the ground with Demon Que, but her back was poised straight...

—She had never bent in front of anyone, no matter who it was.

Looking at these two people before her...Sui Yi’s gaze lingered on Mr. Yun, then retracted her eyes, her gaze contained, "But it seems I have arrived just in time."

All the torches on the wall had been lit.

Anayi held a knife in her hand, extending the other...

It didn’t seem like she was preparing to fight, rather...

"Indeed, you’ve come at just the right time... Now you can see...how it awakens..."

Anayi lightly slashed her wrist with the curved knife.

Blood dripped from her fair and slender wrist...

Drop by drop, some viscous drops fell into the Blood Pool.

Without any pain, Anayi’s expression carried a profound and haunting depth that stirred the hearts of the two onlookers.

"Everything about Loulan...ruin or dawn, should all become clear to me today," she said.

This made Mr. Yun frown slightly; he felt that Anayi was not as firmly in his control as he had anticipated...but it was too late now...

"You are a descendant of the Loulan Royal Lineage," Mr. Yun finally voiced the conjecture he had just understood.

Anayi turned her face, looking at Sui Yi and smiled, "Miss Sui, what do you think?"

The weakened Sui Yi, now the least threatening presence there, was still not completely overlooked by the two.

This was not good for Sui Yi.

Sui Yi looked at the box in the Blood Pool, gazing, then looked down, "I think it will tell me the answer."

"Even though I don’t know what it actually is..."

They, who had come here for adventure, were probably the most innocent of all involved...

Anayi laughed, "Someone who could obtain the Loulan legacy and decipher the secrets within, yet knows nothing about it...hard to believe, but it’s even better if you have no desire for it..."

Is that important? Could her state still cause others to be wary?

Sui Yi neither confirmed nor denied, but Mr. Yun remained indifferent.

Because the Blood Pool had already reacted.

The blood... was moving and emitting a faint rustling sound.

The box was floating, slowly drifting toward the edge...

Soon it was only an arm’s length away...

Mr. Yun’s eyes narrowed, yet he didn’t reach out to grab it—he was waiting!

Such impressive patience!

Sui Yi and Anayi exchanged glances without a trace of emotion.

Crack, the box rested against the edge, producing a crisp sound.

"What’s the matter, Mr. Yun, don’t you want it?"

Anayi’s smile was brimming with an inconspicuous teasing tone.

"You’ve already said that this blood is very dangerous, so of course I must be careful... However... since you’ve invited me so earnestly, I naturally have to accept,"

Mr. Yun said, then glanced at Sui Yi: "If Miss Sui has no objections, that is."

Sui Yi merely raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing askance, "Please."

Mr. Yun looked at her deeply, and suddenly, a tentacle-like rope shot out of his hand...

Like a lizard’s tongue, it was extremely sticky, directly adhering to the top of the box, and with a flick!

The box was pulled out...

Just as it was about to fall into Mr. Yun’s hands...

Anayi’s brow furrowed, a flash of coldness surged in her eyes, and Sui Yi... subtly shifted her stance.

It’s out!

Swish!

A claw resembling a demon’s, blood-red as if soaked in blood, surged out of the Blood Pool, directly seizing the box. Mr. Yun saw this claw... with five fingers, complete with nails?

A human?

A demon?

That demonic claw pulled fiercely!

Its strength was so great that Mr. Yun’s expression changed, but was he going to let go?

No!

His left hand flipped over, and an object fell from his sleeve...

Swish~~

A metal fan!

The fan had a cold iron frame with sharp edges at the tips. With Sui Yi’s vision, she could discern the mysterious and bizarre runes on it...

Those runes...

She had seen them before...

Swish!

The metal fan sliced across the Blood Hand~~~

Splash!

The Blood Hand was cleaved directly and began to sizzle as if burning, roar~~ the Blood Pool seemed to roar in fury, emitting an ominous hiss.

Both Anayi and Sui Yi were undoubtedly astonished.

Just a moment ago, they had thought this man would either have the box snatched away by the Blood Hand or be killed, yet...

What a powerful fan!

That fan was no ordinary item!

This man was even more extraordinary!

Click, the blood box in hand, Mr. Yun turned to flee!

Towards the tower’s top exit...

Splash~~

Over a dozen Blood Hands emerged from the Blood Pool!

Were there many people in the pool? Many demons?

It was like the Underworld’s blood-filled abyss of a myriad ghosts, with enraged demons howling, and the Blood Hands emerging ferociously! Swish, swish, swish!

They blocked the path!

The iron fan in Mr. Yun’s hand spun eerily, slicing through the air!

Suddenly, a Blood Hand seized the box...

Swish, it was severed!

The box hung in mid-air...

Anayi made her move!

Her speed was fast, as if she had been waiting for this moment, and she snatched the box!

"It’s mine!"

Mr. Yun charged! Blood Hand attacked!

But the Blood Hand... it seemed not to attack Anayi!

Sui Yi stood by, watching... in fact, she was watching the show, leaning against the wall, as Mr. Yun with less than thirty years of Inner Strength, nonetheless managed to fight evenly against the powerful Anayi and the allied Blood Hands with just that fan!

That fan was formidable, extremely so.

It seemed to possess strange Divine Skills; the Blood Hands, once touched and sliced by it, broke off and caught fire, while Anayi’s curved blade clashed against it, also sparking eerie flames.

This weapon was like a top-tier Divine Weapon from martial arts novels, as if it had a spirit of its own.

Quite troublesome.

Yet...

Tap, tap, tap, footsteps approached!

Someone was coming from below!

Wei Feng and Old Goat Monster suddenly rushed up and took ruthless action in the second second, plunging the battle scene into chaos...

In the chaos, Anayi feinted and sprinted towards the tower’s top exit...

Old Goat Monster flung his arm, releasing a tiny Black Meteor...

It struck the box...

Boom~!

An explosion!

The box was knocked open by the blast! Dodging the explosion, Anayi followed, Wei Feng’s knife, Old Goat Monster’s claws, Mr. Yun’s fan...

All were not as quick as one sword!

The sword swept up! The box spun on Sui Yi’s fingertip, caught in her hand, her figure flashing as she leapt towards the exit above!

Damn, she got ahead!

She wasn’t completely weakened at all!

Indeed... Sui Yi had previously hidden her strength, deliberately feigning a severely injured state, using Magnetic Sensation to conceal her Inner Strength, hence even Anayi believed she was heavily wounded, after all, she had undergone several intense battles.
