Her eyes flickered with a strange light as she quickly began to flee up the stairs, with two people hot on her heels. "Serpent Empress, don't be scared! Leave the antidote for me!"
Xiang Xueer cursed angrily, raising her AK-47 and preparing to shoot at her. The Serpent Empress turned around and laughed heartily, "You want the antidote to save your lover, right? Let me tell you, there is no medicine in this world that can cure my snake venom, unless you have the ability to extract my Snake Gallbladder!"
What? Snake Gallbladder? Xiang Xueer suddenly realized that the Snake Gallbladder was the antidote to the snake venom curse. This cunning and treacherous woman! She hurriedly chased after her, shouting, "Stop! I will kill you!"
The Serpent Empress's eyes quickly contracted, and then with a wave of her hand, a massive stone above Xiang Xueer came crashing down towards her. Lan Ran Qingtian reacted swiftly and pulled her away from danger.
"Ah! Shirley, be careful!" Qingtian tightly embraced her body as the stone crashed down on his sturdy back, dust flying everywhere. A large rock blocked their path forward.
The rumbling continued as the structure began to collapse. The Serpent Empress transformed into her true form, a giant Crimson Python, twisting her body as she charged out through the opening created by the fallen stairs.
After a while, the collapse finally ceased. Qingtian slowly straightened up and looked at Xiang Xueer, who he was shielding. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Xiang Xueer wiped the dust off her face and peeked out from his embrace. Seeing the collapsed stairs ahead and the already escaped Serpent Empress, she punched the stone wall in frustration. "Damn Serpent Empress! She actually got away!"
Suddenly remembering something, she quickly pushed Qingtian aside and returned to the cavern. The collapsed pillars and roof were awkwardly pressing down on the iron cage where Li Yunyang and the citizens who had turned into zombies had narrowly escaped disaster.
"Ah!" Xiang Xueer walked over to examine Li Yunyang closely. She reached out to pat off the dust on his shoulder and sighed in relief when she saw he was unharmed. "You scared me! I'm glad you're okay!"
Qingtian watched her so worried about Li Yunyang and suddenly felt a pang of jealousy in his heart. He rubbed his chest in confusion, wondering what this feeling was all about.
Xiang Xueer turned to see Qingtian standing there in a daze and waved her hand in front of him. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Qingtian snapped back to reality and quickly changed the subject, turning to look at the exit. "It seems we are trapped here. We need to find a way out!"
"Yes! But what about them?" Xiang Xueer glanced anxiously at the hundreds of zombies in the cage. "We can't just leave them here."
Lan Ran Qingtian looked up at the stairs ahead; most of the surrounding steps had completely collapsed. Looking out into the vastness beyond, he thought that unless they grew wings, there was no way out.
He turned his head and shook it at Xiang Xueer, saying, "No, it's too high here. It seems we are trapped."
At the same time, outside the entrance of the forest, the black Secret Door suddenly opened, and a giant Crimson Python emerged from it, instantly transforming back into human form.
She reached out to touch her arm, which was still bleeding from the bullet wounds, and angrily turned her head to curse, "Damn Witch, I've escaped here, and you're still chasing me relentlessly!"
"It looks like I need to change bodies again!" She glanced around with a sidelong look and was about to leave when Lian Cheng Xue, hiding behind a Tree Trunk, suddenly felt the situation was serious. After the tremor from earlier, neither Xiang Xueer nor Qingtian had come out; instead, this troublesome Serpent Empress emerged from the Secret Door. Could it be?
Without saying a word, he quickly rushed out from behind the tree, raised his Black Iron Sword, and shouted, "You troublesome Serpent Empress, what have you done to them?"
"Is it you?" The Serpent Empress glared at him fiercely. Seeing that there were no other helpers around, she immediately laughed: "Nothing much; they just can never come out again!"
"Never come out? No way!" Upon hearing this, Platypus rushed out from behind the tree as well, pointing at the Serpent Empress and cursing, "Stop talking nonsense! My sister won't be defeated by you; she's one in a million in this world!"
Duck? The Serpent Empress glanced at it disdainfully and covered her mouth with a sneer: "That dead woman must go through that place if she wants to come out. In the end, they still won't be able to escape!"
"What do you mean? What place?" Lian Cheng Xue stared at the Serpent Empress in confusion. However, with a turn of her body, she instantly disappeared before them.
"Stop! Wait for me!" Lian Cheng Xue shouted anxiously, but there was no trace of the Serpent Empress left. Platypus sat down on the ground and began to cry loudly: "Sister! My dear sister! You died so tragically!"
Lian Cheng Xue was already annoyed enough; upon hearing it wailing, he punched its head: "Stinky Duck, you crow's mouth! Shut your filthy mouth! Shirley won't die; neither will Qingtian or Brother Li!"
He pounded on the ground vigorously and shouted: "Miss Xueer! Qingtian! Brother Li! Where are you?"
Xiang Xueer and Lan Ran Qingtian had been searching for a way out in the cave for an hour without any progress. Were we really going to wait to die in this thousand-meter-deep Cavern?
"No! We can't just sit here and wait for death!" Xiang Xueer patted the solid stone wall. Suddenly, her ears perked up slightly as she knocked on a nearby rock again and exclaimed excitedly: "Qingtian! Listen! This place is hollow!"
"Empty?" Lan Ran Qingtian quickly moved closer, and the two of them kept slapping their hands against the wall. Not just that one spot was empty; the entire ceiling of the cavern was basically hollow.
The two exchanged glances, and Lan Ran Qingtian stood still, abruptly removing his clothes. Gathering his energy, he swung his fists, powerful currents coalescing around his arms, causing a wild wind to whip through the cavern.
Xiang Xueer tightly held onto Li Yunyang's body, securing both of them firmly against the iron cage to prevent being blown away by Lan Ran Qingtian's Seven Character Formula.
He brought his arms together, and the airflow from his hands formed a powerful tornado swirling around him. He exerted all his strength and shouted, "Exorcism Essence: Tiger Bite Double Dragons Storm Break!"
Boom! The immense destructive force instantly struck the ceiling of the cavern. In an instant, Earth Shattering occurred as the hard stone slabs collapsed with a crash. As expected, a massive space appeared directly above them.
Lan Ran Qingtian turned to Xiang Xueer and nodded, pulling both of them quickly around the flying debris and leaping into the newly opened space.
"Cough cough cough!" Amidst the swirling dust and debris, Xiang Xueer tightly grasped Li Yunyang's hand. Once the dust began to settle, they stood up and looked around. It turned out that above this cavern was also a narrow little space.
"What’s going on? What is this place?" Xiang Xueer scanned her surroundings, her gaze suddenly landing on a passageway ahead. The two exchanged cautious glances and carefully walked toward that passage.
Before long, light began to seep through ahead, accompanied by various pig-like screams. Could it be a slaughterhouse?
Suddenly, Lan Ran Qingtian stopped in his tracks. The scene before him left him stunned, standing there wide-eyed without uttering a word.
"What’s wrong? Did you see a ghost?" Xiang Xueer pulled Li Yunyang with one hand and craned her neck to look from the side. What she saw ahead was a sea of red blood—a group of people dressed in white robes with pale faces and disheveled hair had stripped naked men, women, and children bound in a '大' shape to four wooden stakes. From their groin to their heads, they were being sawed back and forth with a saw, their cries of agony filling the air—this was simply a hell on earth.
