Phantom Snake Traces (Part 2)
Phantom Snake Traces (Part 2)
With that, he raised his sword and was about to stab when the snake demon hurriedly covered his head and shouted,"You're not talking about a snake demon, that kind of…I know that kind of demon, but it's not a demon…"
"That's not a demon, it's a god!" the snake demon said.”
"God race?" Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were both stunned.
"I know that there are branches of the God Clan. They were born like this, but they disappeared 500 years ago…If there are still some, they probably won't come to the human world…"
Lin Yu 'eru and Li Xiaoyao looked at each other. They didn't know if the snake demon's words were credible. They also didn't know why they would capture Ling' er if they saw a branch of the Shen clan.
"If it's really the God Clan, they probably won't harm Ling 'er," Lin Yu' eru said.”
"Then we'll have to find another one…" Li Xiaoyao said with extreme disappointment.
As the two of them were talking, the snake demon man let out a long howl. Taking advantage of Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru's shock, he turned his body and disappeared without a trace.
Lin Yueru looked at the ground in shock. It turned out that the snake demon had cut off its own tail and escaped to save its life.
Looking at the large section of the tail that was nailed to the ground by the sword, it was still twisting in a hair-raising manner. The large pool of blood was shocking.
"What a terrifying monster…" Lin Yueru said.
Li Xiaoyao said," It wanted to distract us, so it made up those lies just now. Ling 'er must be in its hands. Let's quickly look for her in the inner cave!"”
Not long after the two of them walked, the road ahead became wider and wider, but there was already a fork in the road. They didn't know which path to take.
" Look," Lin Yueru said." There's blood on the ground. The snake demon must have fled there."”
As expected, there was a large drop of bright red blood on the stone ground, which had not completely dried up.
The two of them walked towards the bloodstained passage, but the more the passage diverged, the less blood there was. In the end, the two of them could no longer tell where they were going.
"What should we do…"
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were at their wits 'end when they heard a faint sound coming from afar.
The sound was very soft, but Li Xiao Yao had heard it and his heart shook.
"Ling 'er!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Yueru asked hurriedly.”
"I heard Ling 'er's voice. She's sighing!”Li Xiaoyao said.
" Yes," Lin Yueru said." Sister Ling 'er is indeed locked up here. Let's find her quickly!"”
The two of them ran quickly in the direction of the sound. The light in front of them gradually brightened and suddenly, they saw a small figure sitting in front of the loom, wiping her tears with her head lowered.
Li Xiaoyao was greatly disappointed. That figure was not Ling 'er.
Lin Yueru had just taken a step forward when the woman heard the sound and jumped up in shock. She turned around and saw a man and a woman holding swords. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She turned around and ran into another door.
"Don't go!"
Li Xiaoyao shouted and chased after them with Lin Yueru.
In the stone room in front of them, there were three or four girls. When they saw Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, they all fled to the corner of the room in panic.
Li Xiaoyao took a step forward, and they took a step back. Seeing that there was no way to retreat, one of the girls cried,"Don't…don't kill us!"
"You all live in this snake demon's cave?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
Those girls were probably already frightened by the mere twang of a bowstring, and did not dare to make a sound. "Were you captured?" Lin Yueru asked.”
The girls nodded. Li Xiaoyao asked,""Is there a Lady Zhao Ling 'er among you?”
The girls looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Lin Yueru said,""Don't worry, we're here to save you! What about Zhang Xiaohui? Is there such a person?"
Everyone looked at a round-faced woman who was at a loss. Lin Yueru said,""Your grandfather asked us to save you. Don't be afraid.”
Hearing Lin Yueru's words, the round-faced girl burst into tears and said,""Grandpa…"
The other girls also said,"Please save me too, I beg you!"”
"I was also captured. I miss my parents…"
For a moment, the sound of weeping could be heard everywhere. Li Xiaoyao asked anxiously, How can you be so lazy to be a good man? br They all shook their heads in confusion. Someone said,"I've never heard of this person."
"I know of Hui 'er, Zhu' er, Xiang 'er, and Lan' er, but none of them are called Ling 'er!”
Seeing Li Xiaoyao's anxious look, Lin Yueru said,""Perhaps Sister Ling 'er has just been captured and they don't know yet. Don't be anxious.”
Li Xiaoyao was slightly relieved and nodded.""Let's take our time."
"Do you know who else was captured by the snake demon?" Lin Yueru asked.”
"Some are serving the fox demon, while some are guarding a lamp in the secret room…" Zhang Xiaohui said.
"There's another fox demon?" Li Xiaoyao was shocked.”
"Yes, she's the wife of the snake demon. She's even worse than the snake demon," Zhang Xiaohui said with a bitter smile.”
Li Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said," Don't go anywhere. Wait here. Who knows the way here? Take us to those two monsters!"”
None of the girls dared to come out. They didn't know if Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru really had the ability to kill the snake demon and fox demon couple. If they were killed, the people leading the way would die with them.
After a long time, Zhang Xiaohui stepped forward and said,"I know the way. I'll take you there.”
" Yes," Lin Yueru said." We killed the snake demon just now. It shouldn't be a problem anymore. Do you know where the fox demon is now?"”
Zhang Xiaohui nodded and led the way.""Follow me."
The two of them followed Zhang Xiaohui through a few secret rooms. Before them was a spacious room, and a strange smell lingered in the air.
This must be the so-called fox demon's room. Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru raised their vigilance and saw that the room was decorated with luxurious decorations. There was a figure with long hair sitting in front of the dressing table, facing the bronze mirror. However, the bronze mirror was covered with an embroidered towel, so the face reflected in the mirror could not be seen.
Li Xiaoyao approached silently and was about to stab the woman's heart when Xiaohui cried out in surprise,""Stop!"
Li Xiaoyao sheathed his sword in time. Xiaohui shouted,""She's not a fox demon, but someone who was captured!”
Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru were both stunned. They rushed forward and turned around to look at the woman. She was very young and had a delicate appearance. She stared at Li Xiaoyao in panic.
Her body did not move at all. Li Xiaoyao noticed something was wrong and asked,""Your acupuncture point was hit?"
The young girl only widened her eyes and looked at Li Xiaoyao in fear. Zhang Xiaohui said,"" She must have been frozen. Fox demons know such demonic techniques…"
" Oh no," Lin Yueru said." After the snake demon escaped, those two demons knew that we would come and attack. They were already on guard!"”
"What if they use Ling 'er as a hostage…This…" Li Xiaoyao said anxiously.
Lin Yueru didn't know how to deal with her. Zhang Xiaohui thought for a moment and said,""Hmm…the two of you, what this pair of demons care about the most is a lamp. They usually don't allow anyone to approach them.”
Lin Yueru and Li Xiaoyao nodded. Li Xiaoyao said,""Alright, bring us there!"
Zhang Xiaohui was already familiar with the path here. She quickly went around to the secret room behind and pushed open the hidden stone door. If she had not been here for a while, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru would not have been able to find these paths.
The last stone door had just opened when a palm attack came over.
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaohui, who was at the front, exclaimed. In that split second, Li Xiaoyao's sword slashed out and forced the palm Qi back. Zhang Xiaohui staggered back a few steps, and a shallow bloody wound appeared on the side of her cheek.
Lin Yueru quickly stood in front of her and stood beside Li Xiaoyao.
In front of him was an empty stone room. There was only a high platform at the front. A small lamp was lit on the platform, emitting a dim light.
Such a lamp could not illuminate anything clearly.
However, the snake demon was lying beside the lamp. The red figure that Li Xiaoyao had forced back retreated to the snake demon's side and glared at Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru.
It was a woman who still had her charm. The thick makeup on her face made her expression even more ferocious."Were you the ones who injured my husband?"
Li Xiaoyao took a step forward and said,""Where's Ling 'er? Where did you hide her?"
The fox demoness raised her head and smiled.”
Li Xiao Yao's anger grew even more. He gritted his teeth and said,"Monster! If you don't hand him over, I'll kill you!”
The fox demon laughed shrilly. Is it that easy?"
She leaped forward and pounced in front of him. Li Xiaoyao didn't retreat and stabbed his sword at him. Chi, chi, chi, three consecutive strikes were all fatal moves. The fox demon dodged left and right, as nimble as lightning. He smiled and said,""Heh…I ate the little Ling Er you were looking for, and she made me look even more beautiful. What, can you kill me?”
Li Xiaoyao was furious and anxious. The sword moves in his hands became faster and faster, but he could not kill the fox demon no matter what. The fox demon dodged left and right, shuttling through the tens of thousands of sword flowers like a red light shadow.
Lin Yueru was a bystander. She knew that the fox demoness was cunning and deliberately provoked Li Xiaoyao. Once she was anxious, no matter how fast her sword moves were, they would not be powerful and would instead be easily restrained.
Lin Yueru protected Zhang Xiaohui and pulled out her long whip. She had identified the direction of Li Xiaoyao's sword technique. With a swoosh, the fox demon was unable to dodge and was whipped. It cried out in pain and glared at Lin Yueru.
"Big Brother Li, go kill that snake demon!" Lin Yueru shouted.”
"I'll kill you first, slut!" the fox demon shouted angrily.”
She rushed towards Lin Yueru. Li Xiaoyao exclaimed,""Yue Ru!"
"Don't worry about me, kill the snake first…Ah!”
The fox demon's palms flew around, but seeing the fluttering of her red sleeves, Lin Yueru could only dance her whip into a ball of sharp light, guarding her vital points. She did not even have the time to speak.
Li Xiaoyao calmed down a little and jumped to the side of the snake demon. The snake demon had a broken body and was bleeding non-stop. The strange thing was that in less than a moment, the wound seemed to be about to seal up. It was obvious that the snake demon had a strong vitality.
Li Xiaoyao raised his sword and slashed down. The snake demon let out a miserable cry as it was cut off by Li Xiaoyao by a few inches.
The fox demon was scared out of his wits. With a snap, he was hit by Lin Yue 'er's whip. He hurriedly jumped to the snake demon's side and attacked Li Xiaoyao with a heavy palm.
Li Xiaoyao didn't retreat. He slashed his sword straight at the fox demon's heart. The fox demon was struck by the sword, but it became even more ferocious. It opened its mouth wide and pounced towards Li Xiaoyao's throat.
Li Xiaoyao was about to retreat, but his legs were grabbed by the snake demon, and he was unable to retreat.
Lin Yueru flew over with her sword and pierced the fox demon's throat with her finger. A mouthful of blood sprayed onto Li Xiaoyao's face.
The fox demon's heart and throat were hit by the killer move, and his entire body fell heavily to the ground.
Li Xiaoyao's body was covered in blood, and the blood of the fox demon was everywhere. He seemed to be oblivious to it as he stepped forward and pressed his sword against the neck of the snake demon, shouting,""Tell me quickly! Where was Ling 'er? If she is hurt, I will chop off her head!”
The dying fox demon pressed one hand on her heart in panic and stretched out the other. She desperately raised her face to speak, but she couldn't do so and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Li Xiaoyao shouted.
Lin Yueru was stunned. She never thought that Li Xiaoyao would be so terrifying. Instead, she felt that the dying fox demoness and the snake demoness who had been chopped off were very miserable.
The fox demoness finally managed to speak," She…isn't…isn't here…"
"Nonsense! Hand over Ling 'er!"
Li Xiaoyao raised his sword and chopped off another part of the snake demon's body. The snake demon was already screaming at the top of its lungs. Although this demon deserved to harm the villagers, Lin Yueru still couldn't help but turn her face away. She didn't dare to look anymore.
The fox demoness looked at her husband suffering and could not help but shed tears. She spat out the last mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, dead.
"Wife!" the snake demon shouted. Ah…"
Lin Yueru gritted her teeth and shot out a finger energy, piercing through the snake demon's heart.
The snake demon struggled for a while before using the last of its strength to pounce on the fox demon's corpse. They died in an embrace.
Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a long time before he knelt down with his sword in hand.
Lin Yueru took a step forward and looked at Li Xiaoyao's back, not daring to touch him. After a while, he called out,"Brother Xiaoyao…"
Li Xiao Yao's body shook, and he suddenly pounded the ground with all his might. He cried out in grief,"Ling 'Er! Ling 'er! Where are you? Why can't I find you? Why?"
Lin Yueru's mouth was tightly shut. For some reason, her heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a sharp blade. She could not move at all, and her hands were sore and powerless.
Li Xiaoyao had lost his mind and gone crazy just to not see Ling 'er.
Lin Yueru shed a line of tears. She didn't know why she was so sad.
Lin Yueru finally managed to control the waves in her heart. She wiped away her tears and said coldly,""Idiot, Ling 'er isn't here. Hurry up and look elsewhere!”
Li Xiao Yao slowly stood up in disappointment, his voice trembling." This demon said…Ling 'er has already…already…"
"You're really a fool when she said you're a fool. She said it to mess with your heart! Humph!"
Li Xiaoyao turned around and looked at Lin Yueru, who had a contemptuous expression on her face. He would rather be mocked by Lin Yueru as long as what the fox demoness said was not true.
Zhang Xiaohui, who did not dare to watch the fight, timidly walked out from behind the wall and said,""Yes, this pair of demons didn't catch a person called Ling Er. At least…in the half a year I've been here, they really didn't.”
Li Xiaoyao was relieved. Zhang Xiaohui gently stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off Li Xiaoyao's face. She said,""Hero, your face is covered in that monster's blood. You're extremely scary!”
Li Xiaoyao thanked her and took the handkerchief to wipe the blood off his face. He looked at Zhang Xiaohui thoughtfully. For some reason, he felt that she was quite similar to Ling 'er.
In fact, they didn't look like each other at all, but perhaps it was because they were both gentle, but there was a hidden courage in their gentleness, so Li Xiaoyao felt close to them.
"Are there any other demons here to control you?" Li Xiaoyao asked.”
"No, it's just this couple," said Zhang Xiaohui. We can all escape now. Thank you for saving our lives.”
Li Xiao Yao sighed and turned around, saying,""It's nothing. All of you can go home!”
"Hero, chivalrous lady…"
Li Xiaoyao lowered his head in deep thought. Lin Yueru knew that Li Xiaoyao had failed to save Ling 'er and was extremely disappointed, so she ignored him and looked at Zhang Xiaohui with concern."If you go back, do you have a place to stay?”
Zhang Xiaohui looked at her in confusion and said,""We each go home, of course we have a place to stay.”
"Your family…won't say anything?”
Zhang Xiaohui was a little puzzled, but she immediately understood. She said,"So you're talking about that…Actually, although this snake demon is fierce, he didn't…do that shameless thing to us…"
"Oh?" Lin Yueru was a little surprised.
"The snake demon and his wife, the fox demon, have a deep relationship. However, when they captured us to serve them as slaves, some of them were tortured to death, but there was no such thing as…evil behavior.”
"I didn't expect that even demons have a special love." Lin Yueru sighed.”
Zhang Xiaohui looked at the corpses of the two demons and said,"Hero, there should be a stone key on that fox demon. It's used to open the underground prison. Some unruly girls are locked in the underground prison.”
"Oh, I forgot."”
She went forward and searched for a while. Sure enough, she found a stone key on the fox demon's body. She said to Li Xiaoyao,"Hey, why aren't you leaving?"
Li Xiaoyao walked out dejectedly. Zhang Xiaohui said,""Wait a minute, I think…it's better to take that lamp away too.”
Lin Yueru felt that there was something fishy about the lamp, so she asked,""Is that lamp very special?"
"I don't know either, but these two monsters usually guard this lamp as if it were their lives. They even said that this is some kind of Soul Redemption Lamp…I don't know what use it has, but…if we can really redeem these two monsters 'souls, won't our village be finished?”
Lin Yueru thought for a moment. It was safer to take it than not to take it. She took the lamp and the three of them left together.
With Zhang Xiaohui leading the way, the group quickly released the girls in the dungeon. Li Xiaoyao had originally held a little hope and paid attention to whether Zhao Ling 'er was among the imprisoned girls. However, after releasing each and every one of them, he was disappointed.
There were dozens of girls imprisoned in the Hidden Dragon Cave. They were led out of the cave by Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru. None of them knew how to walk on mountain roads, so they stumbled all the way. It was not easy for them to get out of the mountain stream and reach Old Man Zhang's grass.
Seeing that his granddaughter had returned safely, he cried and hugged her. Looking at her reunion made Li Xiaoyao feel even more lonely.
Lin Yu 'eru had asked all the rescued girls. Other than those who lived in this village, they were from the neighboring villages."Old Zhang, I'll trouble you to send the girls back. Brother Xiaoyao and I will send these girls back.”
"Yes, I'll send these girls back properly. Aren't you two going to rest first?"”
"No need. I think everyone is in a hurry to go home.”
Old Zhang sighed with emotion and said," Miss, you must be the reincarnation of Guanyin. You are so beautiful and your martial arts are so strong. I hope the heavens will bless you. You and Young Hero Li will grow old together. You will have many children and grandchildren. You will live forever!"”
Lin Yueru blushed and hurriedly bid farewell. She and Li Xiaoyao left with the girls.
