A moving tree, a tree with branches that are all snakes—such a bizarre combination suddenly appearing truly fits the scene!
Looking at the "Cured Meat" hanging around me, it was both enticing and horrifying. My head felt congested and slightly swollen. Moreover, the thing wrapped around my left foot couldn't possibly be a snake, could it? Forget it; I couldn't worry about that anymore. I tightened my grip with both hands, bent my body, and with a moment of explosive force, I transitioned from being upside down to standing upright. My left foot was still entangled, but my right hand had already grasped that "Snake Vine." Let's just call it that for now. It felt cool to the touch and even a bit slippery...
"What's wrong? Not pretending to be weak and useless anymore?" Just after I stood up, a hostile voice reached my ears. I turned to see the Evil Bird glaring at me fiercely, sneering, "I knew all along you were the one hiding the deepest!"
"Oh really? Your eyes are quite sharp," I replied nonchalantly. It seemed this misunderstanding couldn't be cleared up with mere explanations. Forget about our previous fight; I had already revealed some skills by the Black Water Pool, and now... let's not even mention it.
Although I didn't understand the principle behind it, I could deeply feel the power within me—an energy that had been building up for a long time and was finally ready to explode. This power felt so natural in my subconscious; I was meant to be as light as a swallow, to react swiftly, and to take on three opponents at once! Yes, every move and technique flashed through my mind like vivid memories that I had never learned yet felt so real...
I wanted to ask another version of myself about this, but ever since I woke up, I couldn't sense him anymore. No matter how much I spoke or provoked him, he didn't respond... Instead, things that didn't belong to me began to fill my mind, like forgotten memories that felt incredibly real. But I knew I hadn't learned them or undergone any training; yet they felt so real that they made me fearless...
Yes! Fearless! Ever since that time in the illusion when I went from collapsing to calmness, I started feeling something was off—my vision clearer, my hearing sharper, my agility heightened... I even felt like anything I wanted to do was achievable! It was so strange yet so natural!
"You really are impressive; after all these years, you managed to hide so deeply. Not only those people but even we were fooled by you two!" The Evil Bird sneered. While shooting at the attacking Snake Vines, he continued chattering away: "But what I'm particularly curious about is why you suddenly exposed yourself after hiding for so long?"
"I don't get it; weren't you particularly fond of pretending to be weak and useless? Why not keep acting like before? There are so many people here; we won't mention them, but with Divine Hand and Kong Quan around, if you just scream a few times, I'm sure they would come to your rescue."
"Scream your sister! Is this really the time for this?" I couldn't take it anymore. Without any weapons in hand and with him yelling in my ear, my head felt like it was going to explode.
"Did I hit a nerve? Let me tell you, once this is over, you better confess properly!" The Evil Bird said mercilessly.
"Fine, fine." I rolled my eyes helplessly. This Dead Bird Man had an incredible imagination—talking about hiding deep and pretending to be weak. How could he think of such things? Am I really someone who pretends? Yes, I also felt that there were secrets hidden deep within me—no, they were indeed very deep—but damn it! Was it my choice to hide them? I didn't even know this secret myself!
Take a deep breath... take a deep breath! Can arguing with this simple-minded, strong-bodied birdman fill my stomach? With a smile I deemed appropriate, I shook the flashlight in my hand and said to Evil Bird: "Don't you want to know a lot of things? If you want to know, hurry up and throw me a couple of good items. If I'm happy, I might just tell you. Of course, if I don't survive this, then you all saved me for nothing, right?"
"Hmph!" Evil Bird let out a heavy snort, looking at me with some surprise. I casually shook the flashlight in my hand for him to examine; after all, I wouldn't die anytime soon, so I wasn't in a rush. Sure enough, after a while, Evil Bird looked away and pulled out a one-foot-long Long Dagger from his pocket, reluctantly saying, "If it weren't for the fact that you're still useful, I wouldn't bother with your life or death!" Saying this, he tossed the dagger to me. At that moment, I stuffed the flashlight into my pocket. I didn't know where he got the confidence that I would definitely catch it, but I did catch it steadily.
The moment I drew the dagger from its sheath, a cold gleam flashed as a sharp blade was revealed in the air. Yes, black and white combined, light and convenient; it was indeed a good knife.
"Thanks!" With a swing of the dagger, the attacking Snake Vine was instantly cut in two and fell among the corpses on the ground. Seeing Evil Bird with a face twisted like he had eaten a fly, I smiled brightly and praised, "Not bad at all! This is truly a good knife!" One cut and it was in two pieces; this knife is really sharp! It must not be cheap... Hehe, but now that you've given it to me, don't think about taking it back~
"Hmph, nonsense." Evil Bird glared at me fiercely before focusing on dealing with the surrounding attacking Snake Vines. These Snake Vines seemed unafraid of pain or injury; they kept coming one after another. After such a long time of fighting, shouldn't we have destroyed at least one tree by now? I'm really starting to doubt whether they have self-repair abilities; if that's true, then that would be quite troublesome.
Perhaps Divine Hand also noticed something was off. He casually said while firing his gun, "Kong Quan, go check below." With that, he shot down the Snake Vine in Kong Guayan's hand. Kong Guayan still wore an expressionless face as he flipped in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground while Divine Hand accurately shot down every attacking Snake Vine.
"I'll go down and take a look too." Saying this, I swung my knife and cut off the Snake Vine in my hand. As soon as it snapped, I lost my foothold and fell from several meters high. During my fall, some careless Snake Vines attacked me; some were cut by me while others were shot down by the gun above.
Although my landing wasn't as steady as Kong Guayan's, thankfully I didn't embarrass myself. Moreover, I'll practice diligently in the future; I believe my skills will improve more and more!
"I told you that Feng Yuanliang's son wouldn't be useless. Hehe... Divine Hand, we really underestimated him this time; we almost got fooled!" White Two chuckled lightly.
Divine Hand remained silent while Evil Bird shouted with his rough voice: "I told you long ago that he was hiding his strength! You all didn't believe me back then; how about now? Do you admit that my ability to judge people is impressive?"
"Indeed! This time we'll give you credit for a great achievement!" White Two laughed heartily. The atmosphere was completely devoid of the previous tension. I was puzzled; since everyone could talk so freely now, why not just find a way out of this wretched place?
